HEADLINES - RAW & UNVERIFIED |
New York Times: It’s OK To ‘Help’ Your Mentally Incapacitated Relatives Complete Their Ballots A reader wrote the Times, saying the grandmother has “advanced” Alzheimer’s and hearing loss. The reader wanted to know if it would be “unethical” to help the elderly woman vote in November, likely having the grandma do “the mechanics of voting” while family members “advise her.” An Efficiency Commission Led by Elon Musk Would Be Good for the Government The idea, proposed by former President Donald Trump, could curb waste and step in where our delinquent legislators are asleep on the job. Garland's ‘impartial’ DOJ claims conflict with reports of political interference, bias Several whistleblowers’ complaints, an inspector general report, and an FBI scandal are just part of the growing mountain of evidence that the DOJ has not held to the core values and norms that Garland said protect the independence of the department. Defensive Gun Use Shows Second Amendment Remains Necessary, Even After Tragedies The examples here represent only a small portion of the news stories on defensive gun use during crimes that we found in August. You may explore more using the Heritage Foundation’s interactive Defensive Gun Use Database. Video Shows Man With Pro-Palestinian Pin Being Shot After Tackling Pro-Israel Veteran A man wearing a Palestinian pin was shot in Newton, Massachusetts, after he charged across a street and tackled a pro-Israel veteran protester. The veteran has been charged with assault and battery and violation of a constitutional right causing injury. CDC says America is now fatter than any point in history Before 2013, no state had an adult obesity prevalence at or above 35% — but in 2023, 23 states hit that alarming threshold.

Trump says he won't debate Harris again: ‘Just don’t think that there’s any need for it’ “We’ve done two. You know, one against Biden, one against Comrade Kamala. I did well. I did really well,” Trump told the NY Post. “The debate polls, every single poll, had us winning it.” Former top Clinton adviser calls on ABC to launch internal probe into whether debate was rigged Veteran Democratic pollster Mark Penn said, "I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done [...] to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate." Penn is not the only one. How was there not one debate question about the assassination attempt on Trump? Restraining from asking about the assassination attempt was done on purpose. It was arguably one of the most memorable moments of American history in the 21st century, and it happened less than two months ago. Goldman Sachs CEO says Harris grossly overstated economic boost that her policies would bring "The difference between the sets of policies that they put forward was about two-tenths of 1%.”

Government censorship is a greater threat than ‘disinformation’ On one side, you have people saying if it sounds like fake news, it probably is. On the other, you have people saying, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it might've already been eaten by a Haitian immigrant. Who to believe? Normally, this would be easy to figure out. Washington Post Hit Piece Paints Elon Musk As ‘Uniquely Dangerous’ For Standing Up For Free Speech If you question U.S. elections, you are a threat to democracy. If Zuckerberg Truly Regrets His 2020 Censorship, Facebook Should Stop Smothering Free Speech It’s hard to believe a man who cannot fully admit that his actions did benefit Democrats over the democratic process and who continues blocking truth-tellers on the very day he released his confession. Free Speech Advocates Sign Letter Condemning Brazil Government’s Censorship Of X In their letter, they condemned Brazil for “judicial overreach” and “stifling free discourse and violating Brazil’s own constitution, which prohibits ‘any and all censorship of a political, ideological, and artistic nature.'”

Russia will be directly ‘at war’ with NATO if Ukraine long-range missile restrictions lifted, Putin warns "If this decision is taken, it will mean nothing less than the direct involvement of NATO countries, the United States and European countries in the war in Ukraine. This will be their direct participation, and this, of course, will significantly change the very essence, the very nature of the conflict." Biden Is Poised to Approve Ukraine’s Use of Long-Range Western Weapons President Biden may allow Ukraine to launch long-range weapons into Russia, as long as it doesn’t use arms provided by the U.S., European officials said. Putin aide says ‘it’s time’ to tweak Russia’s nuclear strike stance to deter NATO Karaganov said Moscow could launch a limited nuclear strike on a NATO country without triggering all-out nuclear war. The United States, he added, was lying when it said that it guaranteed nuclear protection to its allies.
