CNN exclusive: A solar panel in space is collecting energy that could one day be beamed to anywhere on Earth

Oh dear, I knew the concept back in the '80s...

Eagle (1982) The Tower King

Quote:
In a Britain of the near future, a faulty satellite discharges an electromagnetic pulse which disables all electrical equipment on Earth — and keeps on generating it! With the world reduced to a state of medieval feudalism, Mick Tempest gathers many of the survivors together under the protection of his fortress, the Tower of London, and battles against numerous dangers including marauders in steam trains, mutants in the London Underground, lunatics who have turned surgery into a religion and wreckers who try to hose him down with sulphuric acid. A stray meteor finally knocks out the rogue satellite and returns light and power to the world.


Not a case of life imitating art one would hope Shocked

Has the Biden/CNN love affair ended so soon?!

The Biden administration is relying on a Trump-era policy to turn away migrants at border

What Biden should do about China's atrocities against the Uyghurs

I didn't think CNN were ever particularly pro-Biden, it was more a case of any port in a storm when faced with the previous shitshow.

I'm not averse to their online news but am not keen on the studio reporting which, like Fox News, consists of a panel of 'experts' either all roundly agreeing with their points of view or picking on the lone dissenting voice in a condescending manner.

Of course you'd suggest it's one sided, but there were any number of YouTube videos full of political commentary where it was made pretty clear the vote was for anyone but Trump.

It is; especially if you're easily taken in by crappy reporting and hatchet jobs.

Chick'n'stripper's point stands though - Biden didn't so much win the hearts of millions; it was more about not voting for Trump. The reasons for that I'm sure we'd disagree on.

So, if we ignore the 'get rid of Trump' aspect, what were they voting for that they particularly loved about Biden? As far as I can tell, he wasn't liked by his own party, and became leader by default more than for any reasons of popularity.

You really, actually think Biden is a good politician, don't you? Laughing At least most anti-Trumpers are honest about only wanting rid of someone, and don't pretend they like what they got in his place. They just see it as the lesser of two evils, and I'm not sure they're right about that either. Seem to be quite a few polls suggesting a number of folk are beginning to regret their vote for Biden, and more pertinently, the looney-tunes Dems. I think the Dems will start to be ousted at state level. Gavin Newsom (look him up Islander, including the word "recall" in your search Wink ) seems to be the first likely to be rejected. The price they paid to get rid of Trump is going to look far too high before long.

I don't think you have much of a clue what is going on in the US outside of the actual election itself, and your obsessive focus on one man who has upset you, do you? Come outside of your echo chamber man, and breathe the fresh air of reality!

I thought conspiracy theories were about deliberately misinterpreting anecdotal evidence to fit a jaded view of the world? Not going to the trouble of physically visiting supposed addresses; that sounds more like fact-based journalism. You know, that thing we used to have years ago Wink

Creepy Joe has cancelled Trump’s ‘Operation Talon’ program that was targeting and deporting sex offenders living in the U.S. illegally.
I wonder why.


More conspiracy misinformation. Rolling Eyes

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has canceled an operation that targets illegal immigrants with convictions for sex crimes, former head of the agency Thomas Homan told Fox News.

"On Wednesday, February 3rd, another email went out to the field shutting down the national Operation Talon, that sought to arrest at-large illegal aliens with sex crime convictions to include child molestation," he said.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS WARN BIDEN OF ESCALATING MIGRATION CRISIS AMID SURGE IN BORDER NUMBERS

The Washington Post first reported on the development, reporting that Talon targeted sex offenders and that it had been planned in the final weeks of the Trump administration. An ICE official told the outlet that the Biden administration has nothing to do with the decision, but that it was possible staffers set it aside while awaiting new instructions from the administration."


So not Biden but Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Nothing to do with Joe then ? How laughable. They take take their orders from the Biden administration, who have just appointed a new ICE director.
His first directive ordered ICE agents who want to arrest fugitives not already in jail, to obtain approval from him personally and justify the action as “an appropriate allocation of limited resources.”
All in the national interest you understand.
“They’ve abolished ICE without abolishing ICE,” the Washington Post quoted one anonymous ICE official. “The pendulum swing is so extreme. It literally feels like we’ve gone from the ability to fully enforce our immigration laws to now being told to enforce nothing.”
Pedo Joe and his adrenochrome junkie pals want those child trafficking ratlines re opened stat.

How *IS* that QAnon stuff working out for you? Are you one of the gullible people that believe Trump will be back in office next week? Laughing

Oh, here's the quote again with the relevant part in bold for you - because you obviously didn't see it first time around...

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has canceled an operation that targets illegal immigrants with convictions for sex crimes, former head of the agency Thomas Homan told Fox News.

"On Wednesday, February 3rd, another email went out to the field shutting down the national Operation Talon, that sought to arrest at-large illegal aliens with sex crime convictions to include child molestation," he said.

Oooh, an 'anonymous source' .
Pretty worthless evidence.
Here's the actual headline ..

"New Biden rules for ICE point to fewer arrests and deportations, and a more restrained agency"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/new-biden-rules-for-ice-point-to-fewer-arrests-and-deportations-and-a-more-restrained-agency/2021/02/07/faccb854-68c6-11eb-bf81-c618c88ed605_story.html

In addition to no more arrests or deportations, the Bidang has:

Reinstated “catch and release,” and implemented a 100-day moratorium on removals;

Promised to reverse funding restrictions on far-left sanctuary jurisdictions that ignore federal immigration law and refuse to cooperate with immigration authorities;

Proposed legislation to grant amnesty to the millions of illegal immigrants currently in the United States;

Pledged to undo the public charge regulation, which assesses an alien’s likelihood of needing U.S. taxpayer-funded benefits upon arrival;


You really need to read what's posted. Anonymous? Hardly.

I'll put the relevant bit in bold for you and then give you another link that might help you in future.

Ask Fox News if you really want to know. Rolling Eyes

I know it doesn't fit your QAnon agenda but still, it's more reliable than hoping with everything crossed for the orange one to be badk in office next week. Laughing

Still not dropped those stimulus cheques though.


I wish you Trumpsters would make up your minds.

You love the military and would rather see the tax dollars, that you object to paying, spent on a huge, largely unaudited, fighting force and then complain when it gets put to use, instead of using those same dollars to support the country's infrastructure or population needs.

On the other hand, while despising big government and socialists it's the Trumpsters shouting loudest for government handouts, while their own government representatives continue to vote down those stimulus checks. Confused
