Biden can’t even hold to the most basic of tenants of his religion. That doesn’t make it him observant. It makes him a heretic if you want to get technical. There is no such thing as “liberal” Christianity. //

Biden may wake up on Sunday and listen to a sermon, but his actions and policy positions clearly show he’s not taking much of what he hears to heart. That’s his right in a free country, but no one should pretend he’s anything more than what he is.

Trump: "My Administration will not support giving congressional representation to aliens who enter or remain in the country unlawfully, because doing so would create perverse incentives and undermine our system of government. Just as we do not give political power to people who are here temporarily, we should not give political power to people who should not be here at all." //

"The Secretary [of Commerce] shall report the tabulation of total population by state that reflects the whole number of persons whose usual residence was in each state as of the designated census date in section 141(a) of title 13, United States Code, without regard to immigration status," the order states.

"The Fourteenth Amendment apportions seats in the House of Representatives 'among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State,'" the order argues.

The Fourteenth Amendment was passed after the Civil War for the purposes of recognizing former slaves, not illegal aliens. //

Biden's executive order signed Wednesday revoked two Trump-era orders seeking to exclude illegal aliens from the decennial count. The Census was challenged in the courts, and the Trump administration failed to meet an end-of-year deadline to complete the count.

Illegal aliens have been included in previous counts and are reflected in the current apportionment of House seats in Congress and electors in the electoral college. The Center for Immigration Studies analyzed the impact of excluding illegal immigrants and their children from the census and reapportioning House seats accordingly. The result was a net loss of House seats for Democrats and a net gain of electors for Republicans.

No wonder President Biden reversed this on his first day in office. //

The amendment refers to jurisdiction thereof and since they're here in violation of our law they dont recognize our jurisdiction and should not be included.

They're not supposed to be here and should be deported thus they should not be counted.

Tesla recently shared some footage of its next-generation 4680 battery cells being produced. The video, which seems to be taken from the electric car maker’s pilot Roadrunner line, suggests that Tesla’s 4680 battery manufacturing system may very well be Elon Musk’s elusive “Alien Dreadnought” concept coming to life.

During the lead up to the Model 3’s initial ramp, Elon Musk envisioned a vehicle production system that was so automated, it would look extraterrestrial in nature. Dubbed as the “Alien Dreadnought,” this concept ultimately fell short of its targets, and Tesla eventually adopted a production system for the Model 3 that combined both human and automated machines. Since then, Tesla has taken steps towards increasing the automation of its vehicle production system, as evidenced by parts like the Model Y’s rigid wiring, which are optimized for installation by robots.

Billionaire Jeff Bezos claims that mail-in voting is safe and secure and that its results are valid and unquestionable when it suits his business interests (at The Washington Post and Amazon Web Services), but says that only an in-person election can be “valid, fair and successful” when it comes to his Amazon employees voting on whether to unionize or not.

The title of a Saturday report from Bloomberg says it succinctly:

‘Dark Money’ Helped Pave Joe Biden’s Path to the White House.

More specifically, Biden’s campaign reeled in more “dark money” than any campaign in history, dwarfing Trump’s special interest contributions by multiples:

$145 million to $28.4 million. //

Now let's add in all the foreign money donated through prepaid cards because Dems choose not to use the basic security checks on their site while Republicans refuse to do anything about it. Same crap Obama did and yet the GOP did nothing about it when they held all branches. //

Really, that's peanuts alongside the in-kind contributions from Facebook, Twitter, Google, and the media which were probably to the tune of multiple billions of dollars.

Telegram does offer “secret chats,” which provides end-to-end encryption, albeit only from one device to another, between just two people. It won’t sync across multiple devices and it won’t work for groups. Telegram says this is technically difficult to do, albeit both Signal and iMessage have managed to execute this level of encryption flawlessly. In reality, Telegram’s architecture is designed to provide fast and seamless multi-device access to a cloud repository—its priorities are different. //

The Signal settings you must change are the “registration lock” and the “screen lock.” Of these, the registration lock is the critical one. This means you’ll need that PIN to install your Signal account on a new phone, stopping anyone hijacking your account. If someone does hijack your account, they won’t get access to your message history—just messages sent while they have access. This is similar to WhatsApp, albeit such hijacks have become a major issue. As Signal gains popularity, the risk will increase.
