Video editor Joaquim Campa has remastered, colorized and “deOldified” the iconic 1897 black and white silent film Louis Lumière entitled “Bataille de Nege” (“Snowball Fight”). With these enhancements, the humorous scene in which a man is knocked off his bicycle can be witnessed with greater clarity.

The Trump Campaign laid down a huge marker for the final 50 days leading up to Election Day — voters can embrace the patriotic history that focuses on 1776 and what came after, or 1619 and what the New York Times says should be important. //

Critical race theory, the 1619 Project, and the crusade against American history is toxic propaganda, an ideological poison that, if not removed, will dissolve the civic bonds that tie us together. It will destroy our country.

American parents are not going to accept indoctrination in our schools, cancel culture at work or the repression of traditional faith, culture, and values in the public square,” Trump said.

Teaching this horrible doctrine to our children is a form of child abuse, the truest sense. For many years now, the radicals have mistaken Americans’ silence for weakness. They’re wrong. There is no more powerful force than a parent’s love for their children.

The left-wing Cultural Revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution … The Left has warped, distorted, and defiled the American story with deceptions, falsehoods, and lies.

Editor's note: Twelve Civil War historians and political scientists who research the Civil War composed a letter to The New York Times Magazine concerning 'The 1619 Project.' The NYTM editor, Jake Silverstein, responded but the NYTM declined to publish the letter and his response. The scholars created a reply and Silverstein had no objection to publishing the exchange in another venue. It is published below.

I’ve been an Amazon user for about 15 years, and an addict since we became Prime members about three years ago. It’s been surprisingly easy to kick the habit.

Welcome to Miller Pads & Paper! We are an educational supply company with the best curriculum, supplemental materials, games, toys, and more!

In business since 1989, it is our mission to provide the best educational products to homeschoolers, parents, and educators at the lowest prices we can offer. We currently carry over 50,000 quality educational products in all subject areas, for grades PK-12 and beyond!

It’s attractive for politicians to keep taxes low and spending high. Each of our last four presidential administrations has benefited from this dynamic.

Wall Street and global business, which dominates Washington policymaking, have also benefited greatly. These corporate actors care about their next financial quarter a lot more than our country’s state of affairs 10 or more years down the road.

This period will be looked upon by historians as the saddest time in our history: a once great country behaving so selfishly and with such short-term interests that they sold their children’s futures away with barely any debate.

We’re building on hard lessons learned. Some of us previously argued for free trade agreements because we believed Americans would broadly share in the economic gains and that those deals would shape the global economy in ways that we wanted. We had good reasons to think those things, but we didn’t do enough to understand who would be negatively affected and what would be needed to adequately offset their pain or to enforce agreements that were already on the books and help more workers and small businesses fully benefit from them. Our approach now will be different. We will fight for every American job and for the rights, protections and interests of all American workers. We will use every tool to stop countries from stealing our intellectual property or manipulating their currencies to get an unfair advantage. We will fight corruption which stacks the deck against us and our trade policies will need to answer very clearly how they will grow the American middle class, create new and better jobs and benefit all Americans, not only those for whom the economy is already working. //

If Blinkin’s comments are a public recognition of this reality, and the need to treat China as a force of evil in the world that it truly is, then the Biden Administration will have gone a long way in gaining some level of respect from me on foreign policy. I will disagree with pretty much everything else they do, but I can hold my nose for much of it without too much complaint if they get things right on countering China.

I was reading Hayek's The Constitution of Liberty, and he makes the distinction between 'legislation' and what was called 'law' or, putting it into the bigger framework, the 'Rule of Law.'

When you really read what he's saying, the problem we have today and what the quote above talks about, is that what the Rule of Law refers to is not the regime of arbitrary and capricious 'legislation', legislation that some group of people pass to do or force you to do something but that has little to do with the concept of the concept called 'Law'.

In fact, he makes the point that what we have today is nothing like the old meanings of what the Rule of Law is. In other words, it looks like we may need to go back to first principles and get some better understand and agreement around what Law and the Rule of Law is or... we're just talking past each other.

A simple example would be whether speed limits are being used for our protection or as a voluntary tax to finance the state. Since my vehicle does not have a limiter preventing it from going over 100 mph then I would present that speed limits are to generate taxes. The way the law is enforced also makes it obvious.

IIRC, he and the original discussions around the Rule of Law, viewed Law as the limiting of freedom and, according to what the Rule of Law meant. His argument would have been more around the general principles around even setting the speed limit and limiting our freedoms in the first place, what the car could or couldn't do was irrelevant.

The Rule of Law was about the balancing of the inherent freedom man has with the needs of society. The making of arbitrary rules of law that ignore the need to maintain freedoms he considers legislation and it has no relation to the Rule of Law.

A few years ago the State of Michigan's legislature got tired of municipalities using the setting of arbitrary speed limits so they could not just raise revenue but generally control people. So, they passed a state law that mandated that all of the rules making around WHAT the speed limit should be MUST be preceded by a traffic study. A lot of municipalities didn't like that and, as a result, when a citizen decided to fight the tickets, the courts were throwing out the speeding tickets because the cities didn't follow state law.

Hayek would have argued that a speed limit based on a general rule like "We must somehow slow the upper 2% of the speeds that we see" was real Law but the setting of the speed limit to 25, in violation of the general rule, in open desert on a straight-away with 4 lanes because someone wanted to raise revenue... this does not conform to the Rule of Law but to the Rule of Legislative Acts.

We conservatives really need to not let the left convince us that the latter is the former and then enlist the tendency of the right to be law abiding, especially when it's being used as a tool to restrict our freedoms.

When journalists defend the removal of art you know we are plunging down the cultural waterslide… //

Some, like Philip Bump, go so far as to say if you defend these ‘’racist’’ books it is because you want to defend racism. Defending a person’s right to speak is not defending their actual speech. He knows this, or at the very least he should. But for him, and the others, preserving their right to expression is less important than virtue signaling, and then using the call for free expression as a tool to injure political opposition.

It is a shallow and craven mindset. This is echoed in the belief that every person has a right to vote, but if a racist votes for a certain candidate then everyone who voted for said candidate is a racist. It is the thinking that justifies targeted silencing and approves of making an entire movement a pariah. That our members of the press are pushing this is beyond disturbing.

The lesson learned is that we must never be sucked into complacency as preached by ANYONE, as that path is exactly what the Uniparty/Deep State/globalists wish us to trod. These people want us all to be complacent and unconcerned while they work diligently behind the scenes to achieve their evil ends. Ben Franklin charged us as American citizens to take continual corrective actions in our government if we wanted to keep our constitutional Republic, not sit on our hands and “trust the plan.” Time to take out the trash bigly and get to work.

The end.

In this type of system:

• The installation is isolated from earth, or the neutral point of its power-supply source is connected to earth through a high impedance (commonly 1500 Ω or more)
• All exposed and extraneous-conductive-parts are earthed via an installation earth electrode.
  The basic feature of IT earthing system is that, in the event of a fault between phases and earth, the system can continue to operate without interruption. Such a fault is referred to as a “first fault”.

The first fault current value depends on the neutral impedance (if any) and on downstream network capacitances (cables, filtering, leakage…). The first fault current Id should be low enough to meet the rule Id. RA ≤ 50 V, so that no dangerous fault voltages can occur.

The system may be allowed to operate normally until it is convenient to isolate the faulty section for repair work. This enhances continuity of service.

In practice, IT system requires certain specific measures for its satisfactory exploitation:

• Permanent monitoring of the insulation with respect to earth, which must signal (audibly or visually) the occurrence of the first fault
• A device for limiting the voltage which the neutral point of the supply transformer can reach with respect to earth
• A “first-fault” location routine by an efficient maintenance staff. Fault location is greatly facilitated by automatic devices which are currently available.
• Automatic high-speed tripping of appropriate circuit breakers must take place in the event of a “second fault” occurring before the first fault is repaired. The second fault (by definition) is an earth fault affecting a different live conductor than that of the first fault (can be a phase or neutral conductor on systems where the neutral is distributed, see Figure F39 ).

Automatic disconnection for TT system is achieved by RCD having a sensitivity of {\displaystyle I{\Delta n}\leq {\frac {50}{R{A}}}} where RA is the resistance of the installation earth electrode

In this system, all exposed-conductive-parts and extraneous-conductive-parts of the installation must be connected to a common earth electrode. The neutral point of the supply system is normally earthed at a point outside the influence area of the installation earth electrode, but need not be so. The impedance of the earth fault loop therefore consists mainly in the two earth electrodes (i.e. the source and installation electrodes) in series, so that the magnitude of the earth fault current is generally too small to operate overcurrent relays or fuses, and the use of a residual current operated device is essential.

This principle of protection is also valid if one common earth electrode only is used, notably in the case of a consumer-type substation within the installation area, where space limitation may impose the adoption of a TN system earthing, but where all other conditions required by the TN system cannot be fulfilled.

The automatic disconnection for TN system is achieved by overcurrent protective devices or RCDs

In this system all exposed and extraneous-conductive-parts of the installation are connected directly to the earthed point of the power supply by protective conductors.

As noted in Definition of standardised earthing schemes, the way in which this direct connection is carried out depends on whether the TN-C, TN-S, or TN-C-S method of implementing the TN principle is used. In Figure F18 the method TN-C is shown, in which the neutral conductor acts as both the Protective-Earth and Neutral (PEN) conductor. In all TN systems, any insulation fault to earth results in a phase to neutral short-circuit. High fault current levels allow to use overcurrent protection but can give rise to touch voltages exceeding 50 % of the phase to neutral voltage at the fault position during the short disconnection time.

In practice for utility distribution network, earth electrodes are normally installed at regular intervals along the protective conductor (PE or PEN) of the network, while the consumer is often required to install an earth electrode at the service entrance.

They weren’t content to just suspend RSBN for carrying live feed of a former president speaking at a major political gathering (that used to be called “news”), YouTube, which is owned by Alphabet (or Google), also removed most copies of President Trump’s CPAC speech from that platform. //

What is ominous is the omerta that has descended over this action by YouTube. You’d think that major news organizations would have their hair on fire over YouTube deleting content from their YouTube channels. But crickets. //

NEW: YouTube deletes all videos of President Trump’s CPAC speech, suspends RSBN for two weeks //

Developing new platforms is not a solution because if recent history shows us anything at all, it is that Soviet scholar Robert Conquest was right, “Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.” If the First Amendment is going to be anything more than an odd artifact, these monstrous conglomerates need to be broken up, and we need to ensure that the people who work there who support this totalitarian behavior never work anywhere again as a lesson to whatever corporations rise from the ashes to never, ever behave this way again.

In his 2018 book, Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends, Schweizer exposed an alarmingly large number of other tight connections the McConnell family has to the Chinese Communist Party. //

The Inspector general’s report that Elaine Chao used U.S. government resources to handle purely private matters relating to China—including putting federal employees at the disposal of her father James—ought to give new life to Schweizer’s shocking allegations.

As Breitbart reported way back in 2018, every single one has been confirmed by at least one major mainstream media outlet.

However, the media could have ended Mitch McConnell’s political career years ago had they chosen to give his troubling family and financial ties to China the same kind of blanket coverage they routinely devoted to unsubstantiated rumors and other, by comparison, less than trivial matters concerning Donald Trump.

Heck, McConnell probably would have been finished had CNN and the rest given any of this stuff the same level of attention they gave to Trump’s eating a second scoop of ice cream for dessert.

I wonder why they didn’t bother?

Knowledge truly is power and book burning/book banning is reducing the power of humanity in ways that many don’t understand. How much knowledge have we lost over the course of centuries because we lost the books that contained that knowledge? What kind of civilization would we have now if recorded history went back far past our current reckoning? What medicines, technologies, medicines, etc. were lost as a result? What lessons could we have learned?

We cannot allow the banning to continue. It costs humanity too much.

What gives Congress the right to think they can control me or you? What makes Congress think that they need to “protect” me or you?

Finally, why does government assume that they are even capable of controlling or protecting anyone?

If this pandemic has proven anything, it’s that government intervention and overreach creates more train wrecks and problems than it ever solves. Government’s draconian interference through deceptive legislation and lawsuits serve to blow up the very foundations that make us productive, safe, and free, leaving human shrapnel in the wake.
