US Army Base Holds Training Class Calling Pro-Life Orgs ‘Terrorist Groups’

(Worthy Insights) – A U.S. Army base in North Carolina previously held a training class in which pro-life organizations were described explicitly as “terrorist groups.”

The training class included a presentation that featured a slide deck listing the pro-life groups National Right to Life and Operation Rescue as terrorist organizations at Fort Liberty, formerly Fort Bragg, the Fort confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation. The Fort condemned the slides on Thursday and claimed that the deck was put together by a garrison employee who was not authorized to use them for the presentation.

“This is a national outrage. Instead of defending us from foreign terrorists, Joe Biden’s Pentagon is attacking pro-life Americans as a domestic terror threat,” Republican Indiana Rep. Jim Banks told the DCNF. “Even if this slide deck was unapproved, it still exposes the Biden Pentagon for creating a politicized environment where far-left wack jobs feel they can get away with teaching our troops that conservative Americans are their adversary and legitimate military targets. We are in dangerous territory.” [ Source: Daily Caller (Read More…) ]

Report: Globe’s Largest Companies Colluded In ‘Likely’ Antitrust Violation To Censor Conservatives

(Worthy Insights) – The Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) likely violated federal antitrust laws when it used its “tremendous market power” in the advertising world to encourage the demonization of news websites, platforms, and podcasts it deems guilty of wrongthink, a new report published by the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday found.

Shortly after Rob Rakowitz co-founded GARM in 2019 with the World Federation of Advertisers, he complained that “[p]eople are advocating for freedom of speech online” and using a “‘radical interpretation[]’” of freedom of speech.” To curb this First Amendment phenomenon and prevent it from going global, he called for an “uncommon collaboration” to “rise above individual commercial interest.”

“For an organization reliant on speech and persuasion in advertising, GARM appears to have anti-democratic views of fundamental American freedoms,” the report warns. [ Source: The Federalist (Read More…) ]

Saudi Arabia seeks defense pact similar to Israel’s

(Worthy Insights) – In a significant shift in Middle East dynamics, Saudi Arabia is reportedly seeking a defense alliance similar to Israel’s, while Gulf states position themselves to play a crucial role in resolving the Gaza crisis. This development unfolds against a backdrop of regional tensions, including concerns along the Israel-Lebanon border, uncertainty in United States politics, and ongoing turmoil in Israel’s political landscape, according to a high-ranking Gulf official.

“Currently, we’re all in a holding pattern,” the official confided this week to Israel Hayom. “We’re closely monitoring the Israel-Lebanon border, wary of potential conflict escalation. We’re also navigating the uncertainties within the US administration, the upcoming presidential elections, and the political instability in Israel. Nevertheless, there’s a consensus that the leading Gulf nations will inevitably be integral to resolving the Gaza situation, as part of a broader regional arrangement that includes expanded normalization with Israel.”

When pressed on who constitutes “we all,” the official elaborated, “This encompasses the leadership of moderate Gulf states, Egypt, Jordan, and the Israeli leadership – extending beyond just Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

Huge star explosion to appear in sky in once-in-a-lifetime event

(Worthy Insights) – Sometime between now and September, a massive explosion 3,000 light years from Earth will flare up in the night sky, giving amateur astronomers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness this space oddity.

Polar vortex is ‘spinning backwards’ above Arctic after major reversal event

(Worthy Insights) – The polar vortex circling the Arctic is swirling in the wrong direction after surprise warming in the upper atmosphere triggered a major reversal event earlier this month. It is one of the most extreme atmospheric U-turns seen in recent memory.

In the past, disruptions to the polar vortex — a rotating mass of cold air that circles the Arctic — have triggered extremely cold weather and storms across large parts of the U.S..

The current change in the vortex’s direction probably won’t lead to a similar “big freeze.” But the sudden switch-up has caused a record-breaking “ozone spike” above the North Pole. [ Source (Read More…) ]

Lego instructs California police department to stop using Lego heads to mask identities of suspects

(Worthy Insights) – In an Instagram post from Tuesday, the Murrieta Police Department explained that it was placing Lego head images over suspects’ faces to mask their identities in accordance with state law.

“On January 1st, a new law went into effect that restricts the how and when law enforcement agencies in California share suspect photos & mugshots,” the post reads. “The new law, Assembly Bill 994 & Penal Code 13665, now prohibits law enforcement from sharing suspect photos for nonviolent crimes, unless specified circumstances exist.

Fallout Continues Over Trump “Bloodbath” Media Hoax

(Worthy Insights) – The fallout is continuing over the media hoax claiming that Trump warned of a “bloodbath” if he didn’t win the election, when in reality he was speaking in economic terms.

During his speech in Ohio, on Saturday, the former president made comments regarding the car industry, Mexico and China.

“If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now…you’re going to not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the cars to us, no. We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected,” Trump said.

“Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it,” he added. “It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories,” he added.

No longer afraid of sparking war, Israel takes gloves off against IRGC in Syria

(Worthy Insights) – Israel’s years-long air campaign against Iran-linked groups and weapons in Syria appears to have shifted into high gear in recent months, with strikes on high-value targets at a pace that is “changing the rules of the game,” according to experts.

New AllSides Study Shows Google News Pro-Leftist Bias Got WORSE

(Worthy Insights) – “Be Evil” should be Google’s new motto these days. The anti-free speech Big Tech giant has continued its sordid habit of suppressing right-leaning media sources while inundating users with left-leaning content.

A new analysis from media solutions company AllSides once again found that Google News is overwhelmingly elevating news media from “the left” while burying news media from “the right.” AllSides monitored Google News’ homepage over a two-week period in 2023 and uncovered that a whopping 63 percent of 494 articles came from sources “on the left.” By contrast, only a negligible six percent came from sources “on the right.” In addition, the group also analyzed stories generated through Google News’s search results based on specific prompts like “Economy” and “Abortion,” which likewise produced heavily skewed results favoring the left.

CBS faces uproar after seizing investigative journalist’s files
