What fresh hell is this, Drudge?

 

Drudge right now vs. the truth

 ANOTHER MAGA DOWN

DEM WINS GA

You can't trust any headline at Drudge, including about the weather

 

COVID-19 is over: Drudge no longer features stats

Democrat Drudge posts hilarious self-own

 As TV doctor, Oz provided platform for questionable products and views...

 

Drudge goes from hundreds of Florida hurricane deaths two days ago to only dozens today

 

Phony boom narrative under Trump continues under Biden, only the lie is much bigger

 Factory Jobs Booming Like It's 1970s...

Well, it's the lying New York Times, of course, and drive-by repeater, Drudge.

The summer peak in 2019 was 12.905 million.

The summer peak in 2022 was 12.916 million, up . . . eleven thousand! Woo hoo!

Meanwhile in the 1970s, many MILLIONS more worked in manufacturing in the United States, and many millions more as a share of the population:

11.8% of the population in 1979 on average vs. just 4.9% in August 2022!

From the end of the story, lol:

Eight percent of the surveyed companies reported moving segments of their supply chain out of China to the United States in the past year, while another 16 percent had moved some operations to other countries. But 78 percent of the companies said they had not shifted any business away from China.

 

 

You can always tell when there's a live idiot writing the headlines at Drudge instead of a bot combing WaPo, The New Republic, and CNN to shred the right

 The reptile Drudge shed his conservative skin long ago.

Here's hoping the new head of state of the Solomon Islands doesn't roll over and give it up to the Chicoms like the last one did Hong Kong

 

Seeing this headline html first thing Saturday morning is disorienting

 https://www.marketwatch.com/story/u-s-stock-futures-slip-as-investors-await-fed-chairman-powells-jackson-hole-address-11661508928

Investors await Powell's address?

That was published 24 hours ago, before the Powell speech, and the contents were updated last evening just before 5:00 PM.

But the pain surely ain't in the Fed.

The only pain described in the story is in households, businesses, families, not in the Fed.

Those Fed guys are rich, and get paid very handsomely.

The top 100 employees each made $274k or more in 2020. They are all named, here.

That puts them in the top 2% of all wage earners in the US.

They're the elites.

They experience no pain.

The Federal Reserve System had 23,517 employees in 2021, with a total system operating expense of $5.7353 billion, or about $244k per employee.

They live in a bubble. 

Everybody's just phonin' it in and getting the hell out of Dodge for the weekend. 

Especially Drudge.

 

Well, if that's how you're going to look at it . . .

 . . . then way to go, Brownie!

This NYTimes poll headlined by Drudge on July 12th is complete and utter fake news: Just 849 people were polled, 65% of whom were either Democrats or Independents, not Republicans

Half of G.O.P. Voters Ready to Leave Trump Behind, Poll Finds

LOL Drudge, a one per cent Fed Funds rate hike from here would take it from 1.58 to 1.5958, silly

 A 100 basis point rise, as in the story, would take it to 2.58, an increase of 63%, which is the draconian kind of thing Cathie Wood likes to dramatize.

But no one understands draconian. In a world of superlatives where everything is awesome, the smallest changes are blown all out of proportion.

Draconian would be raising the rate at least to the level of inflation, now 9.1% year over year (not seasonally adjusted).

Actual draconian is necessary.

But these are not serious people. None of them.

The open borders lunatics at the Michigan Chamber of Commerce are backing Jeremiah Keeler over Right to Life endorsed Angela Rigas for 79th District State Representative

 On Drudge, of course.

 

LOL, there's the men's footwear advertised on Drudge, and then there's the footwear real men wear

 

The abortion ban in Wisconsin is 124 years older than the so-called 50-year-old constitutional right which breached that core rule-of-law principle in the first place

Supremes end protections for abortion in place for half century...

In Wisconsin, which has an 1849 abortion ban on the books, Planned Parenthood immediately halted all scheduled abortions at its clinics in Madison and Milwaukee following the high court’s ruling. ...

The liberal justices ... in their joint dissent: The majority “eliminates a 50-year-old constitutional right that safeguards women’s freedom and equal station. It breaches a core rule-of-law principle, designed to promote constancy in the law. In doing all of that, it places in jeopardy other rights, from contraception to same-sex intimacy and marriage. And finally, it undermines the Court’s legitimacy.”

 

It's pretty clear whose side Drudge is on from the way he worded the linked html:

Sometimes the UK Daily Mail can screw up a story as badly as The Grauniad, but Drudge is even worse

"Converted to non-condensing by 2029" is definitely NOT what the story says. Quite the opposite.

And Drudge's headline is also false:

Biden plans for all to pay $350 to upgrade to 'energy efficient' furnaces... 

$350 is how much more the more efficient condensing furnaces cost. You just won't be able to buy the old non-condensing variety after 2029.

The Biden rule isn't going to force anyone to pay anything unless they elect to buy a new furnace after 2029, in which case you'll be able to get only the more expensive, more efficient type.

I bought one way back in 2008, with a DC motor for the blower which is where the real savings come from: On the electricity used to move the heated air.

Too bad the story never mentions it.

 

That would be 113th Mr. Drudge, sir, you ignoramus

 World's oldest man to throw 113rd birthday party!

Friday night at The Drugged Report.

LOL, back to back stories curated by Drudge say Xi Jinping did not, or did, appear at the Winter Olympic Games, take your pick

 

CLAIM: Xi suffering from deadly brain aneurysm... 

Troubles mount in China ahead of bid to stay in power... 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The UK Sun:

Rumours about the state of Xi's health have been swirling for years, with fresh speculation sparked by his unexplained absence from the Beijing Winter Olympics. 

LA Times:

When Xi Jinping strode into the Bird's Nest Olympic stadium in the winter, waving and bundled in a black jacket and mask, hundreds of Chinese spectators and performers cheered in what was meant to be the start of a victorious year for their nation's president.

 

Everyone keeps lying about Putin saying he'll use nukes, the latest being Peggy Noonan of all people

From her irresponsible column, here:

Mr. Putin talks about nuclear weapons a lot. He did it again Wednesday: In a meeting with politicians in St. Petersburg, he said if anyone intervenes in Ukraine and “creates unacceptable threats for us that are strategic in nature,” the Russian response will be “lightning fast.” He said: “We have all the tools for this that no one else can boast of having. We won’t boast about it, we’ll use them, if needed.”

He’s talked like this since the invasion. It’s a tactic: He’s trying to scare everybody. That doesn’t mean the threat is empty. 

There are signs the Russians are deliberately creating a historical paper trail, as if to say they warned us. On Monday Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the risk of nuclear conflict is “serious” and “should not be underestimated.”

No he doesn't. No he hasn't. And neither has Lavrov. Listen for yourself. It's Peggy who is supplying "the risk of nuclear conflict", not Lavrov. Lavrov is clearly referring to the dangerous increased rhetoric about the possibility of nuclear conflict, which is precisely the hysteria Peggy Noonan is engaging in. The Russians have been very circumspect. They don't actually use the terminology. They're not bluffing. They're beating around the bush to create uncertainty, to keep their enemies off balance.

Putin has never used the phrase "nuclear weapon" in any of these examples which have been reported in the press since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Putin's hypersonic capability is clearly in focus in his statements. He has them and the West does not. He's threatening to use them with conventional warheads against Western targets, which is bad enough. But nuclear warheads? That's what he wants us to think, to create fear. But he's never actually said it.

The nuclear talk is all Western hype, exaggeration, and lying. And Drudge is a major aggregator of such headlines. It's irresponsible and it must stop, because to continue it is to make the unthinkable, thinkable, and then actual.

Try exercising your free speech absolutism then, as your tongue vaporizes inside your mouth. 

Meanwhile Peggy Noonan appears not to have considered that Putin has daughters, to whom he might really want to leave something other than smoking embers.

Hysteria has a way of blinding one to important facts.
