SINGAPORE — Various large Chinese cities have intensified their draconian Covid-19 restrictions as of August 30, as authorities step up efforts to limit the spread of Covid-19 prior to a major Chinese Communist Party (CCP) meeting this year.

'The city cannot produce enough water to fight fires, to flush toilets': Water system in Jackson, Mississippi, failing, jeopardizing health and safety of 180K people - TheBlaze
The capital city of Jackson, Mississippi, is facing a water crisis. Again.
After powerful storms and severe flooding ravaged the area over the weekend, the already unreliable O.B. Curtis Water Treatment Plant became overwhelmed with water from the Pearl River, leaving residents unable to perform even the most basic daily functions.
At an emergency conference on Monday, Gov. Tate Reeves (R) warned Jackson residents not to use the water for showering or even brushing their teeth.
"Until [the water crisis] is fixed, we do not have reliable running water at scale," Reeves said. "The city cannot produce enough water to fight fires, to flush toilets, and to meet other critical needs. The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency will take the state’s lead on distributing drinking water and non-drinking water to residents of the City of Jackson."
Jackson has already been under a notice to boil water for about a month because of high levels of "turbidity" discovered in the water. Turbidity is not harmful in and of itself, but can "indicate the presence of disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites," according to a statement from the state Department of Health.

Biden Goes Off-Script, Threatens "Right-Wing Americans" in PA Speech: "If You Wanna Fight Against the Country... You Need an F-15, Something More Than a Gun" (VIDEO)
Joe Biden on Tuesday traveled to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania to promote his ‘Safer America Plan’ to ‘reduce gun crime.’
Biden delivered remarks at the Marts Center at Wilkes University after hiding out for several days.
At one point Joe Biden went off-script and threatened “right-wing Americans.”
“For those brave right-wing Americans… if you want to fight against the country, you need an F-15. You need something little more than a gun,” said Biden.
“I’m not joking!” he added.
Imagine the headlines if Trump said this about BLM.

BYU banned fan for allegedly using N-word against black athlete. But police now say that he did not do it. - TheBlaze
BYU police, who investigated the incident, determined that the fan who was banned for yelling the racial slurs was not, in fact, the person who shouted them, the Salt Lake Tribune reported — and further stated that they had yet to find any evidence that anyone shouted them at all.
"When we watched the video, we did not observe that behavior from him," BYU Police Lt. George Besendorfer told the newspaper.

Californians are urged to avoid charging electric vehicles, days after state announced ban of new sales of gas-powered cars by 2035 - TheBlaze
The California Independent System Operator — a non-profit that manages the power grid for 80% of California and a small part of Nevada — issued a bulletin Tuesday announcing that "extreme heat" conditions are "likely to strain the grid with increased energy demands, especially over the holiday weekend."
The ISO said temperatures are expected to be 10-20 degrees warmer than normal through Tuesday, Sept. 6, and that the peak load for electricity is projected to exceed 48,000 megawatts (MW) on Labor Day, the highest of the year.
"The power grid operator expects to call on Californians for voluntary energy conservation via Flex alerts over the long weekend," the bulletin announced.
If a Flex Alert is issued, residents will be urged to reduce energy use between 4 and 9 p.m. to relieve stress on the power grid.

UC Berkeley to Require Masks... Again... But You Won't Believe Why...
Now, apparently, the UC Berkeley “Big Brothers” will demand you wear a mask for the flu if you are not vaccinated against it. Once again: Mandela Effect. If these institutions of indoctrination have their way, a generation to come will reminisce on the past and won’t remember a flu season when we didn’t wear masks.

Interesting that Trump was just in the news demanding a new election. A bit odd, this late in the game.
Also interesting timing is the Poll on americans that believe that civil war is likely within 10 yrs. 43%.
Who is orchestrating this? Who times these statements and polls? It's like a stupid movie script and the funny thing is 90% of the population buys into the hype. Good vs Evil = Civil war. People jumping up and down on both sides. YAH!
saying:
Biden said WHAT?!
Trump is standing up! LETS FIGHT!
welcome to the future script.

Pope Francis Welcomes Radical Environmentalism
Pope Francis’ militant environmentalism comes couched in the devotional language of his 2015 encyclical “Laudato Sí.” What he calls “the Gospel of Creation” is a politicized assault on fossil fuels, industrial development, economic freedom, and private property. It is the Great Reset in cope and chasuble.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday said tens of millions of Trump voters are a threat to the United States.
“The president thinks there is an extremist threat to our democracy,” KJP said. “The president has been clear as he can be on that particular piece when we talk about our democracy, when we talk about our freedoms.”

UN racism committee condemns pro-life laws in US, suggesting minorities face 'higher risk of unwanted pregnancies' - TheBlaze
On August 30, the U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination published its findings concerning a number of nations for which it had sharp criticisms and recommendations. The U.N. racism committee saved some of its fiercest condemnations for the United States, the U.N.'s largest donor.
The committee expressed deep concern regarding the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, and reiterated its insistence that Washington take special measures to protect abortionists and the ability to terminate an unborn child in the U.S., framing the issue in racial terms.
Catholic Nancy Pelosi declares it is 'sinful' to restrict abortion: 'The injustice of it all' - TheBlaze
Speaking at a "reproductive health roundtable discussion" on Aug. 26, Pelosi claimed that restricting abortion rights is a "sinful" assault on women.
"The fact that this is such an assault on women of color and women — lower income families is just sinful. It’s sinful," Pelosi said.
"It‘s wrong that they would be able to say to women what they think women should be doing with their lives and their bodies," she added. "But it’s sinful, the injustice of it all."
Earlier in the event, Pelosi said that "extreme MAGA Republicans" have been "emboldened by the radical Supreme Court." She accused such people of "inflicting unimaginable pain on women and their families." Pelosi even claimed that "American women are not as free as their mothers and their grandmothers were."

FBI agents say Christopher Wray 'has got to go:' report
FBI Director Christopher Wray has lost the confidence of rank-and-file FBI agents after a senior bureau official left under a cloud of accusations that he shielded Hunter Biden’s laptop from a criminal probe — and some believe the top G-man should step down, a new report says.
“I’m hearing from [FBI personnel] that they feel like the director has lost control of the bureau,” Kurt Siuzdak, a lawyer representing FBI whistleblowers, told the Washington Times in a report published Tuesday. “They’re saying, ‘How does this guy survive? He’s leaving. He’s got to leave.’
“[The FBI agents] are telling me they have lost confidence in Wray. All Wray does is go in and say ‘We need more training and we’re doing stuff about it,’ or ‘We will not tolerate it,’” Siuzdak said.
His comments come in the wake of Timothy Thibault, the top agent in charge of the FBI field office in Washington, resigning amid claims he blocked investigations into the first son’s laptop. Thibault’s lawyer said his resignation was unrelated to these claims and that he did not seek to close the laptop investigation.

Thousands of Xcel customers locked out of thermostats during 'energy emergency'
"I mean, it was 90 out, and it was right during the peak period," Talarico said. "It was hot."
That's when he saw a message on the thermostat stating the temperature was locked due to an "energy emergency."
"Normally, when we see a message like that, we're able to override it," Talarico said. "In this case, we weren't. So, our thermostat was locked in at 78 or 79."

Police using ad-based software to track phones | One America News Network
Law enforcement agencies across the nation are using a powerful piece of software to track Americans’ phones.
The program known as Fog Reveal, has been used to search billions of records from mobile devices and harnesses the data to create analyses known among law enforcement as “patterns of life.” Davin Hall, a former police data analyst, spoke in detail about the software.

Disney Airs Sick Satanic Cartoon "Little Demon" Plot Features Demonic Pagan Rituals and a Single Mom knocked up By Satan
Last week, Disney continued down its path to destruction, releasing a new cartoon entitled Little Demon, and it is just as bad as it sounds.
The cartoon takes place 13 years after an unmarried pagan woman is impregnated by Satan (voice played by Danny Devito) and follows her and her daughter (literally the spawn of Satan and referred to as the Antichrist) through everyday life.
The series features demonic witchcraft, pagan rituals, gratuitous blood, gore and nudity, and judging by the trailer (included here, but not recommended) can easily be considered pornographic by definition.

Following rare criticism from even CNN, Biden on Friday sought to back away from the divisive message he delivered in a scene some viewers compared to hell.
“I don’t consider any Trump supporter to be a threat,” the president told reporters on Friday.

Biden Regime Launches Racist Housing Plan that Violates Fair Housing Act
The Biden regime racist housing plan is far worse than just favoring particular ethnicities. It adds a major economic attack against responsible homeowners who will now have to pay for the premiums and fees of the credit and default risk permitted for favored races.

Sierra Club, environmental groups petition EPA to ban natural gas for home heating | Environment | denvergazette.com
“Gas heating appliances, such as water heaters, furnaces, boilers, stoves, and clothes dryers represent about 80% of fossil fuel-fired heating appliances and emit the majority of appliance pollution, including both climate-disrupting GHG emissions and pollutants that directly impact human health,” the petition says.
“The data is incontrovertible: heating appliances in residential and commercial buildings contribute significantly to pollution that endangers public health and welfare. The emissions from these sources are major drivers of the dual crises of climate change and unclean air,” the petition adds.
