Suppose you have a nice SUV and That Friend Of Yours needs help moving over the weekend.
Right now you have a great excuse… but with this revolutionary new idea from a car company called Slate, you could just… you know… CONVERT the SUV into a pickup and then back again.
It’s quite a concept: and Scott Ott is a True Believer! He leads the discussion in a new edition of The Right Angle, joined by Bill Whittle and Steve Green.
Here, veteran investigative journalist George Webb offers a shoe-leather investigation into teams, recruitment lanes and why the focus belongs on networks, not lone shooters.
Researchers into the Charlie Kirk political assassination, say Webb, must leave the amphitheater behind. The key now: We must focus on his larger support team. You can’t solve the story inside the bowl. You’ve got to walk out, nose to the wind, and follow the footprints. That means transportation, money, safehouses, and comms. It means the team.
Webb believes the assassination of Kirk opened a door for the placement of American military “advisors” in the Ukraine. Kirk opposed greater military involvement in that conflict. But, now, President Donald Trump has suddenly done an about-face, suggesting he might send military advisors into Ukraine. It’s not what Charlie wanted at all, but it’s what we might get, given the pressure from the assassins.
“Trump did a 180 degree turn on Ukraine the day after Charlie Kirk got killed,” says Webb. Now, we have the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth summoning all of his generals and admirals, presumably informing them of what will come next in the Ukraine.
As for the citizen journalists trying to solve Kirk’s murder, the best approach now is to trace the team. “We’ve got to follow the team,’ says Webb. Toward that end, he will soon be revealing the millionaire, dark-money “donors” who financed the militant antics of the Armed Queers of Salt Lake City. Who are these benefactors floating the Armed Queers? What more can we learn about its leader, Ermiya Fanaeian? If she’s actually a transgender, how did she win so many beauty pageants in Iran? Or is she a femme fatale to lead armed queers down a bizarre and confusing path? Stay tuned.
Cyber expert Chuck Brooks says when the internet was created as a DARPA project for communications, cyber security was the least of their worries. Now that everyone is connected, the whole world is vulnerable.
Appearing on the Riss Flex blog, Brooks added that because of the increased risk for sabotage, the next evolution of the internet will be in “smart cities,” where you’ll have most of your urban environments controlled–energy, transportation, security and communications. “The same problem there is that it relies on connectivity,” Brooks says. “And it relies on connectivity that can be hacked.” Here’s more with Brooks and Flex, including questions from viewers.
A massive increase in violence and real estate vacancies has sent New York City spiraling into an abyss that it may never recover from. At least that’s the dismal outlook from former hedge-fund manager James Altucher.
The five-month-plus coronavirus lockdown and the ridiculous defund the police debacle in the city has sparked a 176 percent rise in shootings and violence, and in turn an enormous downturn in real estate vacancies–122 percent decline, to be exact, and more than 13,000 empty apartments!
Altucher, a lifelong New Yorker, says 30 to 50 percent of New York restaurants are already out of business and are not coming back and most corporate companies in usually bustling midtown are mandating their employees work remotely. “This completely damages not only the economic ecosystem of New York City–the restaurants, transportation, office buildings, commercial real estate–but what happens to the tax base when all of your workers now can live anywhere in the country, even the suburbs.” Here’s more of the gloom and doom for the Big Apple with Altucher and Fox News anchor Stuart Varney.

The long-distance busing industry was originally dominated by small scrappy companies competing fiercely to win over customers, only to become a government-protected cartel with declining ridership and all the competitive spirit of Ma Bell. A half-century later, busing returned to its glorious origins, but today it’s in danger becoming a ward of the state once more.
