House Oversight Committee (Thread):
Multiple Biden family members received money from the Chinese after it passed through an associate’s account. Additionally, Hunter Biden received money directly into his company’s account from a Chinese-controlled entity.
Yup. If Republicans were serious about ending the pay-to-play Biden crime spree, they’d simply start impeachment hearings.
Sask. firefighters want new safety tool for electric vehicle crashes
When responding to calls involving electric vehicles, Warren said firefighters face an unknown and potentially dangerous situation.
Electric vehicles often don’t make noise, so it can be hard to tell if they’re running once they’ve been in a crash. Firefighters also can’t use the tried-and-true trick of putting a hand on the hood to feel a vehicle’s vibrations and determine if it’s still running.
“Those days are gone,” Warren said. […]
“There’s still voltage trickling through the lines until it completely drains down,” Cherpin said, explaining that this makes cutting wires precarious for first responders, especially in situations where they might have to remove someone from a vehicle or cut open the vehicle’s body.

A Columbia University study has found that teens who use cannabis recreationally are two to four times as likely to develop psychiatric disorders, such as depression and suicidality, than teens who don’t use cannabis at all.
The research, published in JAMA Open Network May 3, also finds that casual cannabis use puts teens at risk for problem behaviors, including poor grades, truancy, and trouble with the law, which can have long-term negative consequences that may keep youth from developing their full potential in adulthood.
“Perceptions exist among youth, parents, and educators that casual cannabis use is benign,” said Ryan Sultan, MD, assistant professor of clinical psychiatry in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia and lead study author. “We were surprised to see that cannabis use had such strong associations to adverse mental health and life outcomes for teens who did not meet the criteria for having a substance use condition.”

Just when you thought wind might be just fine to power our economy, on Tuesday, wind power generation in Alberta failed, again. Eight hours saw less than 100 megawatts, and it bottomed out at 13 megawatts. That’s out of 3,618 megawatts of wind turbines installed.
Guy Gin- How to get Japanese kids to unmask?
When the Japanese academic year started last month, students were no longer required to wear masks at school. But when 1328 Japanese kids were asked whether they’d still keep masking from the beginning of the new school year, they inevitably gave depressing responses.
A high level participant in the IPCC (purposely vague to protect their identity) has confirmed to me that the major error on tropical cyclones that I recently identified was (a) indeed a major snafu and (b) a result of claims being inserted into the IPCC outside its review process. Neither of these things should happen in an process that the IPCC promotes as the “gold standard” of scientific assessment.
The error was to claim that a change in the proportion of Category 3-5 tropical cyclones has been detected and attributed to human-caused climate change, which is contrary to both evidence and the scientific literature. Even worse, in making the false claims the IPCC confused a study of measurements of tropical cyclones with tropical cyclones, and failed to acknowledge that paper had undergone a major correction, which altered its conclusions and rendered it irrelevant.
The false claim was not caught and was ultimately elevated by the IPCC to the summary of its recent Synthesis Report where it was promoted as one of the most significant scientific findings of the past assessment cycle. You can read all of the details on the error in this post and its follow up.
The tip that I received prompted me to go back and look carefully at the evolution of the drafting IPCC AR6, which was where the mistake made. I can confirm that the tip checks out. The IPCC failed to follow its own procedures of quality control and peer review. False information made its way into the report outside of the review process and was repeatedly elevated to the highest levels of information conveyed to policy makers.
If you’re not sure why the Left is rabid about controlling all legacy and social media, sit back and enjoy learning about what is happening these days on Twitter.

At first, we thought it was just us. Certainly, at the Western Standard, we expect the NDP to be less than chummy. There’s a lot we don’t agree about. However, the NDP has also turned on other non-government funded media, and even the long-serving and capable David Staples at the Edmonton Journal. Awkward questions are not welcome.

Michael Shellenberger- World on cusp of woke totalitarianism as governments act to end free speech
The Twitter Files gave us a window into how government agencies, civil society, and tech companies work together to censor social media users. Now, key nations are attempting to enshrine this coordination into law explicitly.
Around the world, politicians have either just passed or are on the cusp of passing sweeping new laws, which would allow governments to censor ordinary citizens on social media and other Internet platforms.
