It comes with aging…

Bullet Points:

** When you tire of the more ‘organic’ scents being marketed for scent candles.

** Hillary Clinton (stumping in India) has declared that it’s time to make cash transactions in America illegal in order to “fight climate change.” Many central banks are pushing for Central Bank Digital Currencies, “digital cash” over which they have complete control, claiming they will reduce humanity’s carbon footprint.

Clinton, who looks a lot like George Soros these days, is dragging the sack in India because they seem to be one of the only places where she can get paid to show up. She spent time in India with Huma Weiner, her assistant a lot when she was SECSTATE under Barack.

“Today, I’m proud to announce that the Clinton Global Initiative, started by my husband, will work closely with SEWA and with our partners the America-India Foundation, the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center, the Desai Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Council for Inclusive Capitalism, and the Algorand Foundation to launch a $50 million Global Climate Resilience Fund for Women,” the former secretary of state said during a speech in Gujarat, India.

“This fund will empower women and your communities to have access to resources that will make you resilient to the effects of climate change, like extreme heat,” she added.

What about just asking Hillary to make it rain?

** (USNewsMag.com) – The city council of Grand Forks, North Dakota unanimously voted to stop a proposed Chinese-owned corn mill from being built, resulting in cheers from the residents who had filled the seats of the council meeting.

The proposed mill would have been built on a 300-acre parcel of land that was purchased by Fufeng Group in 2022. Fufeng Group is a Chinese-owned company that claims to be an international manufacturer of bio-fermentation products. The land was purchased for $2.3 million while the proposed mill would have cost $700 million. Despite the promise of 200 jobs for that local community and initial support from Mayor Brandon Bochenski, many people voiced concerns about the proximity to a U.S. Air Force Base.

**. (Frontpage) Unlike its Black Lives Matter allies, the Antifa networks aren’t funded by a single nonprofit. Antifa’s illegal activities and the radical tendencies of its participants, many of whom are involved in a variety of radical groups, some of them domestic terrorist organizations, make that a non-starter. However, unlike conservative groups which have been ‘debanked’ from Big Tech fundraising platforms, Antifa gains support through leftist 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) groups which include fundraising platforms, bail funds, street medics, and promotional media organizations.

** So many kinds of people came to the new world and worked their own land, built their own towns, and established their own societies without the help of slaves. For one, the Trans-Atlantic slave trade transported well over 12 million slaves, but only a little over 300,000 made their way into the United States. This didn’t happen all at once. Slavery did officially begin in 1619, but it began with just over 20 slaves.

The Stylebook

“To reduce disinformation, we need to remove the financial incentive to create it,” the Global Disinformation Index declares on its mission page. But as the Washington Examiner exposed last week, the self-appointed arbiter of truth doesn’t seek to silence the legacy corporate outlets that repeatedly peddled false stories. Rather, it demands the widespread censorship of conservative webpages that got those stories correct by branding the right-leaning sites the “riskiest” ones when it comes to “disinformation.”

The MSM has been criticized for years due to its left-wing bias, but much of it is built in due to blind adherence to the Associated Press Stylebook. AP style is used to merely cover things like how to capitalize words, avoid the Oxford comma used in academia, etc. This now has been vastly expanded to instruct journalists substantively with Orwellian language changes. Much of it is needlessly inflammatory, using divisive words when discussing anything related to the right’s perspective. At the same time, anything regarding the left-wing agenda is sugarcoated, using watered-down, peaceful-sounding words and phrases.

The most recent ridiculous change occurred in January when the AP Stylebook tweeted that it was offensive to use the phrase “the French.” In a sense of irony, the AP Stylebook deleted the tweet, stating that it was inappropriate to use the phrase.

The phrase “late-term abortion” was banned in December, claiming it’s not accurate since abortions allegedly don’t take place during the last week of pregnancy. However, according to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, about 12,000 late-term abortions occur annually. “Crisis pregnancy centers” are supposed to be put in scare quotes and instead referred to as “anti-abortion centers.”
