I grabbed this post from the comment section of another site...

"A relatively small, out of the way, rally, and the only one broadcast live on all the leftist news channels, in a long time.
Extremely evidentiary."

Can anyone confirm?

The only rally CNN showed live all year.

I don't think that we should forgive or forget the role that the media has played in the last week. Ever.

I saw this on The Gateway Pundit about the IMF recommending to raise taxes

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/202...llion-federal/

and it reminded me of something I read in Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. From page 37:

Consent Coefficients - numerical feedback indicating victory status. Psychological basis:
When the government is able to collect tax and seize private property without just
compensation, it is an indication that the public is ripe for surrender and is consenting to
enslavement and legal encroachment. A good and easily quantified indicator of harvest
time is the number of public citizens who pay income tax despite an obvious lack of
reciprocal or honest service from the government.

There's also an interesting explanation of what a military draft actually is.

The whole thing is only 45 pages and is a free download. Made me think...

I question the validity of doing this from a Nielsen standpoint, since NN is watermarked as Final Distributor, but this is what it's come to:

Biden conceded that he's unfit to do another term. Should he really be allowed to carry out the remainder of the current term? Or is it too close to the end to care?

The most popular President in the history of US elections dropped out of the race due to his declining mental state, of which the media has actively and methodically ignored for the past few years, even after a court basically ruled him unfit to stand trial but he's going to have the keys to the nation for ~6 more months.

Everything is fine and you're a Russian bot if you think otherwise.

(Also, never forget the Democrats kept him in the race just long enough to where he couldn't be replaced the proper way, the democratic way. Instead they get to plug in their diversity hire.)

Braineack prediction: Terminal illness and resignation this week; lets see.


Although my last prediction was he wouldn't last 6mo into term.

poor Bernie.

I'm going to put on my serious hat for a moment...

On Friday (Jul 19) at 9:59am, I got a phone call from a corporate VP at Nexstar, instructing me to route News Nation PGM, the full signal including Nielsen watermark and commercials, to a certain outbound video path from my building which feeds a cloud-hosted distribution hub that enables other stations within the company to take in our signal.

There are 197 TV stations within the Nexstar group, and many of them are in smaller to midsized markets, and do not keep their local news dept staffed on weekends.

Throughout the course of the day we also started increasing our own weekend staffing at all three major NewsNation sites (Chicago, NYC and DC), writing procedures for changing around the programming lineup on Sunday, having the graphics department get a head-start on creating the relevant slides, and so on.

And sure enough, come Sunday afternoon, most of the local Nexstar stations across the country had News Nation up on their channel.

Basically, our news dept knew that Biden was going to announce his withdrawal on Sunday, we merely didn't know the exact time when that announcement would be made.

And I honestly don't know exactly how we knew that with such a high level of confidence.
