Excerpt from phys.org

The eventual prevalence of a piece of misinformation may depend on its topic and the country in which it spreads, with notable differences between the UK, Germany, France and Italy, according to a study published May 8 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Fabiana Zollo from the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy, and colleagues. This finding suggests that policies to combat misinformation and polarization may need to be context-specific in order to be effective, the authors say.

Researchers analyzed news activity on Twitter (now X) in France, Germany, Italy and the UK from 2019 to 2021, including a focus on news about Brexit, the coronavirus, and the COVID vaccines. Each news source they analyzed was rated as either “reliable” or “questionable” based upon their NewsGuard (a tool that evaluates the reliability of news outlets based on nine journalistic criteria) score.

Across all four countries, the vast majority of users only ever consumed reliable news sources on each of the three topics. But in every country and in each topic, there was always a small percentage of users who only ever consumed questionable news sources—with very few people consuming a mix of both reliable and questionable sources.

We’re not big fans of the Never Trump crowd here at “Unwoke.”

Then again, does anybody really like a bunch of diaper-filling crybabies who ruin everything? 

via GIPHY

FreedomWorks announced on Wednesday that it was closing up shop for good. The organization was a heavy-hitter during the Tea Party movement’s heyday, doing a lot of good work in training conservative political activists. I was a frequent speaker at FreedomWorks events, and helped train some of the new kids as well. The group’s annual BlogCon events were like CPAC but for just the people we wanted to hang out with (Stephen Green will back me up on this). 

I even used to do some serious writing for FreedomWorks. Stuff about policy. And stuff. 

The organization started to lose its way after 2012 and the news of its demise was unfortunate, but expected. 





The Never Trumpers had a big hand in bringing about the end. As always, they blame Trump for everything. 

Because they’re horrible people. 

That’s what we’re talking about in this episode.

Bacteria Makes Electricity Out of Water in Air

pgnewser May 8, 2024 0

Researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) of Australia claim to have taken protein filaments produced by bacteria and engineered them to be able to create electricity from the water in the air.

One of the researchers, Lorenzo Travaglini, said of the work “…we genetically engineered a fiber using the bacteria E. coli… We modified the DNA of E. coli so that the bacteria not only produced the proteins that it needed to survive but also built the specific protein we had designed, which we then engineered and assembled into nanowires in the lab.”

Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have successfully engineered protein filaments produced by bacteria so that they can conduct electricity and even harness it using moisture from the air. This interdisciplinary research, comprising protein engineering and nanoelectronics, could one day help scientists develop ‘green electronics,’ a university press release said.

…The UNSW team furthered the research on bacterial nanowires, which showed that when haem molecules are arranged closely together, they can also perform electron transfer. Travaglini and his team integrated haem into their engineered filaments, hoping that the electrons would jump between the haem molecules if placed sufficiently close to each other.

By measuring the conductance of the filaments in the presence and absence of haem molecules, the researchers confirmed that the iron-based molecule was making the protein conductive.

During their extensive tests, the researchers found that the electric current was stronger when the ambient conditions were between 20 and 30 percent humidity.

When the tests were repeated with increasing amounts of conductive material sandwiched between the electrodes, the researchers confirmed that humidity created a charge gradient across the material and generated additional current without applying additional potential.

The researchers then devised a humidity sensor that generated electric current even when one exhaled on it.

Kroger Continues to Persecute Unvaccinated Workers

pgnewser May 8, 2024 0

Kroger is making changes to its employee handbook that target the unvaccinated with a $50 a month “tax” and cut them off from having any “paid pandemic-related leave.”

The company is not able to fire unvaccinated workers outright, so it seems it is intending on pressuring them out instead. The yearly cost for each unvaccinated employee is $600, presuming they or one of their family members don’t suffer pandemic-related needs that could force them to miss work with no hope of being given paid leave as vaccinated workers would be able to rest on.

Excerpt from ca.style.yahoo.com

In a bid to push more of its workers to get vaccinated against COVID-19, Kroger will eliminate paid pandemic-related leave and charge $50 per month to employees that haven’t gotten shots.

Kroger stopped short of mandating COVID-19 vaccinations for workers, but said it is “modifying policies to encourage safe behaviors including vaccination.” Company officials added the grocer will also continue to offer a one-time $100 bonus to workers that get fully vaccinated.

The $50 surcharge goes into effect Jan. 1 and applies to salaried associates enrolled in a company health plan. The extra expense would cost an employee $600 per year.

‘Hundreds of Myanmar troops captured’

BANGKOK: A Myanmar ethnic armed group said on Monday it had captured a military command and taken hundreds of junta personnel prisoner in western Rakhine state, in the latest blow to the Southeast Asian country’s military.

Clashes have rocked Rakhine since the Arakan Army (AA) attacked security forces last November, ending a cease-fire that had largely held since the junta’s Feb. 1, 2021 coup.

Judge Puts Trump on Notice for Jail Time After Finding Him in Contempt for Tenth Time

Judge Juan Merchan found former President Donald Trump in contempt of court for the tenth time, leading to a warning about possible jail time.

Trump faces 30 days at the most if he violates it again.

“Because the offensive statement was made prior to this Court’s Decision of April 30 and because the People are seeking only a monetary fine, the Court will, once again, fine Defendant, $1,000,” Merchan wrote in his filing.

Merchan continued: “However, because this is now the tenth time that this Court has found Defendant in criminal contempt, spanning three separate motions, it is apparent that monetary fines have not, and will not, suffice to deter Defendant from violating this Court’s lawful orders.”

Merchan the put Trump “on notice that if appropriate and warranted, future violations of its lawful orders will be punishable by incarceration.”

In court, Merchan admitted he worries about sending Trump to jail as he pointed to the Secret Service:

“The last thing I want to consider is jail,” Merchan said. “You are [the] former president and possibly the next president.”

—

“The magnitude of that decision is not lost on me,” Merchan said. “Your continued willful violation of the court’s order…constitutes a direct attack…and will not be allowed to continue…It is not allowed to continue.”

Anti-Trump ‘Hush Money’ Prosecutor Was Paid by DNC for ‘Political Consulting’

Bombshell new evidence has just emerged to reveal that one of the lead prosecutors on President Donald Trump’s “hush money” case in New York was paid by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for “political consulting,” a financial paper trail has revealed.

Prosecutor Matthew Colangelo is working on the team for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s get-Trump case.

Concerns were already raised that Colangelo has left a top position in Democrat President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to help Bragg prosecute the “hush money” case.

Colangelo is one of the lead prosecutors on Democrat Bragg’s case, even delivering the opening statements in the unprecedented criminal trial of Trump.

Colangelo joined Bragg’s office in December 2022 after the resignations of Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne.

Pomerantz and Dunne were prosecutors who were investigating Trump.

Leftists Discover Euthanasia Targets Poor, Disabled

pgnewser May 8, 2024 0

The far-left site Jacobin is discovering the fact that Canada’s physician-assisted suicide law isn’t allowing terminally ill people to die with dignity so much as it is enabling the state to pressure tax liabilities to commit suicide to avoid being a burden on society.

The author of the piece, David Moscrop, decried “Canada boasts one of the world’s highest assisted-death rates, supposedly enabling the terminally ill to die with dignity. However, this suicide program increasingly resembles a dystopian replacement for care services, exchanging social welfare for euthanasia…

For want of a mattress, a man is dead. That’s the story, in sum, of a quadriplegic man who chose to end his life in January through medically assisted death. Normand Meunier’s story, as reported by the CBC, began with a visit to a Quebec hospital due to a respiratory virus. Meunier subsequently developed a painful bedsore after being left without access to a mattress to accommodate his needs. Thereafter, he applied to Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program.”

It’s Official, TikTok Court Filing Proves CCP Controls It

pgnewser May 8, 2024 0

After TikTok’s CEO told the American congress he was no communist asset, nor was his company, a court filing by the CCP-owned company proves TikTok is, in fact, nothing but a CCP asset that operates only through CCP approval. In a court filing protesting the passage of a law that would ban the CCP-controlled app, TikTok admitted that due to the Chinese government’s direct control of its company, it couldn’t even legally sell the asset to a non-CCP entity even if they wanted to.

Michael Sobolik, a senior fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council, said of the filing, “For years, TikTok has asserted its legal and operational independence from the Chinese Communist Party. TikTok admitted as much in its federal petition against the law and said what every serious person has known for years: the Chinese Communist Party will not permit a divestment,” he continued. “That’s not a problem for the American people. That’s a problem for TikTok.”

Excerpt from townhall.com

TikTok and its parent company ByteDance filed a lawsuit against the United States on Tuesday claiming it is “unconstitutional” for the government to force the app to be sold by its Chinese owner or be outright banned in the U.S.

In addition to the expected — yet inadequate — arguments as to why TikTok should remain under Chinese ownership and available to American users on First Amendment grounds, the complaint makes a significant admission about how valuable TikTok is to the Chinese Communist Party.

On pages 18 and 19 of the complaint, TikTok’s attorneys argue that the app’s foundational algorithm can’t be passed off to another entity to remain available in the United States…because the Chinese Communist Party won’t allow it (emphasis added):

Third, the Chinese government has made clear that it would not permit a divestment of the recommendation engine that is a key to the success of TikTok in the United States. Like the United States, China regulates the export of certain technologies originating there. China’s export control rules cover “information processing technologies” such as “personal interactive data algorithms.” China’s official news agency has reported that under these rules, any sale of recommendation algorithms developed by engineers employed by ByteDance subsidiaries, including TikTok, would require a government license. China also enacted an additional export control law that “gives the Chinese government new policy tools and justifications to deny and impose terms on foreign commercial transactions.” China adopted these enhanced export control restrictions between August and October 2020, shortly after President Trump’s August 6, 2020 and August 14, 2020 executive orders targeting TikTok. By doing so, the Chinese government clearly signaled that it would assert its export control powers with respect to any attempt to sever TikTok’s operations from ByteDance, and that any severance would leave TikTok without access to the recommendation engine that has created a unique style and community that cannot be replicated on any other platform today.

Biden Regs Officially Add $1 Trillion Burden to Economy

pgnewser May 8, 2024 0

The American Action Forum (AAF) has calculated that President Joe Biden’s regulation changes and executive orders have cost the American economy an additional $1 Trillion, an investment that, the report claims, fails to deliver results that justify the cost increase. Dan Goldbeck, AAF’s director of regulatory policy, stated, “This past week, the final rule cost total for just 2024 can now be measured in 13 digits. While no rule matched the singular impact of the prior week’s EPA rule – because, really, what could? – this was also one of the more prolific weeks in recent memory.”

Joe Biden has been the worst president in history where it comes to adding new regulations to burden Americans and has slammed us all with a massive $1 TRILLION in new regulations and rules… yes, just as the economy is already doing so badly, he is trying to hurt it even more with oppressive rules.

Per American Action News:

The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) final emissions regulations for light- and medium-duty vehicles, which some have characterized as an electric vehicle (EV) mandate, pushed the costs of the Biden administration’s regulatory agenda over the $1 trillion threshold for 2024, alone, according to AAF’s analysis. Across all agencies and regulatory actions last week, the federal government published regulations imposing $103 billion worth of total costs and 11.6 million annual paperwork hours.

Excerpt from techxplore.com

Engineers at Princeton and North Carolina State University have combined ancient paper-folding and modern materials science to create a soft robot that bends and twists through mazes with ease.

Soft robots can be challenging to guide because steering equipment often increases the robot’s rigidity and cuts its flexibility. The new design overcomes those problems by building the steering system directly into the robot’s body, said Tuo Zhao, a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton.

In an article, titled “Modular Multi-degree-of-freedom Soft Origami Robots with Reprogrammable Electrothermal Actuation” published May 6 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers describe how they created the robot out of modular, cylindrical segments. The segments, which can operate independently or join to form a longer unit, all contribute to the robot’s ability to move and steer. The new system allows the flexible robot to crawl forward and reverse, pick up cargo and assemble into longer formations.

“The concept of modular soft robots can provide insight into future soft robots that can grow, repair, and develop new functions,” the authors write in their article.

The soft robot can separate and reassemble, and it can crawl through twisting spaces. Credit: Princeton University

A West Virginia judge granted a preliminary injunction allowing several middle school girls to compete after the school district banned them from competition after refusing to play against a biological male, according to 12 WBOY, a local media outlet.

Five middle school female athletes forfeited their positions at a track meet in April after they were informed that they would have to compete against a biological male, prompting the school district to allegedly bar the girls from future competitions, according to WDTV News. The students sued and Republican Attorney General Patrick Morrisey of West Virginia filed an amicus brief in support of the students.

A Harrison County judge ordered that the school’s decision be temporarily halted while the lawsuit plays out, according to 12 WBOY.

“I want to say to these students and their parents: I have your backs,” Morrisey said in a press release. “You saw unfairness and you expressed your disappointment and sacrificed your personal performances in a sport that you love; exercised your constitutionally protected freedom of speech and expression.”

Austin City Council Vows To Become Trans Sanctuary For Minors– www.louderwithcrowder.com

Excerpt from www.louderwithcrowder.com

 

Progressives tend to not like this little thing called “state law.” That is why we often see them admittedly oppose legislation to the point that an entire city or state has dubbed itself a “sanctuary” to defy that law. Subsequently, we now have another city declaring itself a trans sanctuary for minors, with emphasis on the part that is dedicated to children.

The Austin City Council passed a resolution that would de facto stop the enforcement of SB 14, which essentially bans gender-affirming care for minors.

According to the National Review:

Texas attorney general Ken Paxton is threatening to hold the city of Austin’s leaders accountable for openly defying the state’s law prohibiting health-care providers from performing irreversible transgender medical procedures on children.

The Austin City Council voted overwhelmingly on Thursday to pass a resolution offering protections for minors who identify as transgender and instructing police not to prioritize enforcement of SB 14, a law signed by Republican governor Greg Abbott last year banning hormonal and surgical interventions meant to facilitate a minor’s gender transition.

“If the City of Austin refuses to follow the law and protect children, my office will consider every possible response to ensure compliance,” Paxton, a Republican, said upon the resolution’s passage. “Texas municipalities do not have the authority to pick and choose which state laws they will or will not abide by. The people of Texas have spoken, and Austin City Council must listen.”

The massive failures of Bidenomics is pushing more banks to the verge of insolvency, a report finds.

Inflation, sky-high interest rates, and crashing economic growth is sending many smaller banks past the breaking point.

Worries of a possible new wave of bank failures comes on the heels of bank regulators seizing Republic First Bancorp to set up its sale to Fulton Bank.

Per Just the News::

The bank reportedly had a total of $6 billion in total assets and $4 billion in total deposits, according to Yahoo Finance. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp estimated the cost of the failure to its fund would be about $667 million.

Republic Bank has 32 branches in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York that are reopening as branches of Fulton Bank by this Monday.

Just the News added, “According to recent reports, hundreds of banks face the potential of failing just like Republic First Bancorp.”

Consulting firm Klaros Group analyzed roughly 4,000 U.S. banks and found that the banks face a threat of losses due to “secular changes in social patterns accelerated by the COVID pandemic (such as work-from-home, which has materially impacted demand for office space) and to the impacts of higher interest rates and related inflation.”

Trump Supporters Unite and Call for Speaker Johnson’s Ousting, Motion to Vacate Gains Momentum– warroom.org

Excerpt from warroom.org

In a recent segment on Tuesday’s WarRoom with Steve Bannon, the spotlight fell on the growing demand among supporters of President Donald J. Trump for the removal of Republican Speaker Mike Johnson. The consensus among three distinct voices—Dr. Monica Crowley, Mike Lindell, and Jim Rickards—was resounding: Johnson must go, one way or another, to make room for the advancement of Trump’s agenda.

At the center of this fervor is US Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who has emerged as a vocal advocate for what she perceives as a betrayal of Republican values by Speaker Johnson. Greene’s insistence on forcing a House vote on a motion to vacate has put her at odds with some in her party, who view her demands as too extreme. However, for Crowley, Lindell, and Rickards, Greene doesn’t represent a lone voice but a voice of courage in Washington, championing a cause they believe is essential for the future of the GOP and the American people.

Dr. Monica Crowley, a seasoned political commentator and former Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs for the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the Trump administration, brings her expertise to the table. With a background in both government and media, Crowley’s support for Greene’s stance underscores the depth of concern among Trump loyalists regarding Johnson’s leadership.

The Biden regime has cut off military supplies and ammunition to Israel just as that country is gearing up to make a final push to eliminate Hamas the terror group that attacked Southern Israel on Oct. 7.

Per Axios:

The Biden administration last week put a hold on a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel, two Israeli officials told Axios. It is the first time since the Oct. 7 attack that the U.S. has stopped a weapons shipment intended for the Israeli military.

The incident raised serious concerns inside the Israeli government and sent officials scrambling to understand why the shipment was held, Israeli officials said.

Axios added:

President Biden is facing sharp criticism among Americans who oppose his support of Israel. The administration in February asked Israel to provide assurances that U.S.-made weapons were being used by Israel Defense Forces in Gaza in accordance with international law. Israel provided a signed letter of assurances in March.

The Biden administration is highly concerned Israel will invade the southern Gaza city of Rafah where more than one million displaced Palestinians have been taking shelter.

President Vladimir Putin was sworn in for a new six-year term on Tuesday at a Kremlin ceremony that was boycotted by the United States and other Western countries at which he said he was potentially open to nuclear talks with the West.

Putin, in power as president or prime minister since 1999, begins his new mandate more than two years after he sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine, where Russian forces have regained the initiative after a series of reversals and are seeking to advance further in the east.

At 71, Putin dominates the domestic political landscape. On the international stage, he is locked in a confrontation with Western countries he accuses of using Ukraine as a vehicle to try to defeat and dismember Russia.

Putin told Russia’s political elite after being sworn in that he was not shutting down dialogue with the West but that it would have to make its own choice about how to engage with his country.

Excerpt from www.washingtonexaminer.com

New York City Mayor Eric Adams revealed that the possibility of former President Donald Trump being jailed in the state is being discussed between the mayor’s office and the New York City Department of Correction.

Adams said in a Tuesday press conference that the Department of Correction and Rikers Island would “be ready” in case Trump is jailed for violating Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order in his New York hush money trial.

The department’s commissioner “is prepared for whatever comes on Rikers Island, and I’m pretty sure she would be prepared to manage and deal with the situation,” Adams said.

“We have to adjust,” he said. “In this business, particularly around law enforcement, we have to adjust whatever comes our way, but we don’t want to deal with a hypothetical. But they’re professionals. They’ll be ready.”

The Democratic mayor referenced Harvey Weinstein’s recent transfer to the medical ward at Rikers Island to demonstrate the ability of the Department of Correction to adjust to high-profile cases.

Police in riot gear cleared out the University of Chicago pro-Hamas encampment around 4:45 AM CT.

But the mob returned, swarming the campus and starting a stand-off with the police:

Protesters locked arms and stood opposed to officers who the university called to disperse the encampment on campus that has been set up for more than a week. Police gave a final notice to students participating in the protest that they must leave or be arrested for criminal trespass, according to video on social media.

“Additionally, failure to immediately leave will result in disciplinary action as outlined in the Student Manual. You will be immediately placed on emergency interim leave of absence from the University,” the notice states.

Pro-Hamas Mob Shows True Colors, Rips Head Scarf Off Jewish Man Near Met Gala, Then Beats Him – RedState– redstate.com

A disturbing video of a pro-Hamas mob assaulting a Jewish man near the Met Gala in New York City Monday evening shows you exactly who many of these “mostly peaceful” pro-Hamas protesters across the nation truly are: violent, hate-filled extremists. At first, the man, who was wearing a Star of David head scarf, or sudra, and the mob of anti-Israel demonstrators yelled back and forth at each other, but then somebody ripped off his head scarf.

But that wasn’t enough. Then they started pummeling him. This would be the top story in the country if this had happened to any other minority, but because the man is pro-Israel, the mainstream media is mostly avoiding the beatdown.

Watch: (Warning—disturbing footage):

“Get the f*** outta here!” one guy can be heard yelling as the fracas heated up. The Jewish man was eventually able to escape and run away, but not before suffering a few serious blows as the mob of around a dozen people surrounded him and tried to prevent his getaway. The footage was taken by a witness who took the video to the local NYPD precinct, but it’s not clear if anyone has been charged for the assault.

The video was posted to social media by the Jew Hate Database, whose website explains their purpose:

In a world increasingly shadowed by the resurgence of Jew hatred since the October 7th attacks, the Jew Hate Database emerged as a beacon of vigilance and resilience. Within the first six weeks of our inception, we garnered over 60,000 followers, a testament to the urgent need for our mission… At our core, we are passionate Jews deeply committed to the welfare of our people and the continuity of our existence…

We stand as a line of defense, setting boundaries against Jew hatred, ensuring that such actions and rhetoric do not go unchecked.

Buildings at Columbia, Cal Poly Humboldt and Pomona have also been taken over recently by anti-Israel activists 

Pro-Palestinian Rhode Island School of Design students seized their administration building on Monday night and barricaded themselves in.

Campus leaders gave them a Tuesday morning deadline to disperse but the activists remain inside.

A video posted on X shows students shimmy food up with a rope ladder to feed the activist students, who demand the art school cut all financial ties with Israel and condemn the country publicly for alleged “genocide.” They’ve reportedly taken over the second story of the building, which houses the president’s office and other financial offices.

“A livestream by the organizers showed protesters gathered in a corridor on the second floor of the building, chanting ‘Free, free Palestine,’ as security guards inside a room appeared to prevent them from entering it. Videos showed other protesters gathered outside the building,” the New York Times reported.

The New York Police Dept. has reported finding some disturbing and dangerous things in the possession of the Nazi Hamas supporters infesting the campus at Columbia University.

It is clear these protesters arrived on the campus of the college prepared for terrorism.

Per Just The News:

Michael Kemper, a NYPD’s chief of transit, posted photos Friday of what police confiscated from the protesters.

“For those romanticizing the protests occurring on college campuses, ‘Death to America!’ is one sentiment that runs counter to what we believe in, what we stand for, and what many have fought for on behalf of this country,” Kemper stated on X. “And if you think the words written on this piece of paper are disturbing … you should hear the vile, disgusting, hateful, & threatening words coming out of the mouths of far too many of these so called ‘peaceful protestors.’”

Kemper posted a video of a pamphlet that stated, “Death to Israeli Real Estate” and “Death to America!” The pamphlet also stated, “DISRUPT/RECLAIM/DESTROY Zionist business interests everywhere!”

NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry posted on X photos of items he said the police confiscated from protesters who took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University. The photo showed gas masks, ear plugs, helmets, goggles, tape, hammers, knives, ropes, and a book on terrorism. The book is by Charles Townshend, Professor of International History at Keele University in England. It was published in 2011 and is 161 pages.

Judge Bans Fmr FEC Chairman From Sharing Facts In Trump Trial– thefederalist.com

Excerpt from thefederalist.com

The New York judge presiding over Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump has strictly limited the information a key witness for the Republican’s defense can testify about in court.

Bragg claims Trump violated the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) when his former attorney Michael Cohen paid pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an alleged affair. According to Bragg, because the cash changed hands ahead of the 2016 election, it should have been publicly reported as a campaign expenditure.

Judge Juan Merchan, a financial supporter of Trump’s campaign opponent with a “rabid pro-Democrat bias,” has gone along with this plan by entertaining Bragg’s weak case and gagging Trump. Merchan further hindered Trump’s legal efforts by declaring former FEC Chairman Bradley Smith is only allowed to testify about limited aspects of his job.

Smith professionally enforced campaign finance laws including the one Bragg has chosen to target Trump over. He has long asserted that “almost anything a candidate does can be interpreted as intended to “influence an election” but “not every expense that might benefit a candidate is an obligation that exists solely because the person is a candidate.”
