‘One national news story flying under the radar of most mainstream media outlets is the murder of an investigative journalist in Las Vegas.
Jeff German, the journalist, had unearthed startling revelations about Clark County Public Administrator Robert “Rob” Telles. Telles is a Democrat. The revelations are many, and likely a major reason Telles lost his bid for re-election in a Democrat primary.
German was found stabbed seven times, prosecutors said, outside of his home. DNA from German’s hands matched the DNA of Telles.
Executive Editor of the Review-Journal said the arrest of Telles is “an enormous relief and an outrage.”
“We are relieved Robert Telles is in custody and outraged that a colleague appears to have been killed for reporting on an elected official. Journalists can’t do the important work our communities require if they are afraid a presentation of facts could lead to violent retribution. We thank Las Vegas police for their urgency and hard work and for immediately recognizing the terrible significance of Jeff’s killing,” Cook reportedly said.
Astonishingly, a tone-deaf Las Vegas journalist actually attempted to place at least part of the blame for the violent act at the feet of — you guessed it — President Donald J. Trump.
Here was the exchange from Thursday’s press conference. You can watch it below:
REPORTER: “Sheriff you said the murder of a journalist is especially troubling. Now is probably not the appropriate time to talk politics, but do you condemn former President Trump’s normalization of violence against journalists?”
SHERIFF LOMBARDO: “I think this is probably the inappropriate venue to speculate on that or opine on that. I think it needs to be stated and noted that it is troublesome because it is a journalist and we expect journalism to be open and transparent and the watch dog for government. And when people take it upon themselves to create harm associated with that profession, I think it’s very important that we put all eyes on and address the case appropriately, such as we did in this case.”’https://theiowastandard.com/blame-trump-democrat-official-murders-journalist-sheriff-asked-if-he-condemns-trumps-comments-about-media/
‘The Iowa Standard recently published a letter to the editor from a reader regarding the proposed Carbon Capture Pipeline projects. And the reader expressed doubt as to the state of the “climate emergency” supposedly impacting the worldwide community.
The reader submitted the letter to the editor to the Ames Tribune as well. If you want to read the full letter, here is the copy we published.
The Ames Tribune, though, had to make a “significant exception.”
A person called Lucas Grundmeier is the opinion editor for the “USA Today Network.” He wrote to the letter writer that he is happy to publish the letter as presented, but noted with the significant exception.
“These two sentences must be deleted:
“‘According to 1100 scientists and professionals who signed a World Climate Declaration, this is no climate emergency. Carbon pipelines representatives are playing with emotions.’”
Grundmeier said the passage is “accurate as written,” but…
“I will not permit the Tribune’s platform to be used to lend credibility to such disinformation as the World Climate Declaration.”
Grundmeier asked the writer to let him know if the edit is acceptable and, if not, he’ll decline the letter.’https://theiowastandard.com/lib-bias-alert-opinion-editor-makes-major-edit-to-letter-to-the-editor/

‘Because both Victoria and the ACT have now introduced laws that threaten parents with jail time if they don’t affirm the biological sex of their children.
And now NSW independent MP Alex Greenwich wants to follow Dan Andrews’ lead… by introducing a similar “equality” bill in NSW that will:
- Jail parents who try to prevent their children from mutilating their healthy bodies.
- Give males an open door to women’s bathrooms and sports.
- Override religious exemptions (so schools can’t adhere to religious teachings of sexuality and gender).
Premier Dan Andrews has put all Australians at risk with his dangerous “change or suppression” legislation.’
These politicians are EVIL!!!!!
‘The Australian Medical Professionals’ Society is a group of doctors wanting an alternate voice to the AMA. They wanted to join the strength of almost 9,000 under the Red Union banner with the likes of the Nurses’ Professional Association and Queensland (NPAQ), Teachers’ Professional Association of Queensland (TPAQ) and the Professional Drivers’ Association of Australia (PDAA).
The AMPS supports:
- The primacy of the doctor/patient relationship with Government bureaucrats being removed from the surgery room.
- Make it easier for doctors to speak out publicly. Doctors are gagged by AHPRA.
- Removal of AHPRA from monitoring doctors on social media and voicing their medical opinions.
- Resisting Government Coercion.
- The ability to speak out about refugee health without fear of de-registration.
- Resisting Government mandates.
- Resisting Government agencies running roughshod over doctors in what they can prescribe and recommend.
The AMPS remains fully committed to defending your right to treat patients as you see fit and respect the enormous amount of medical training undergone to achieve this right. AHPRA and Government must be drastically limited in this space.’https://amps.redunion.com.au/about
‘Academics and university officials have an “ethical” and “professional duty” to “denounce the GOP,” according to one professor at the University of Michigan’s flagship Ann Arbor campus.
“Republicans say professors are the enemy,” Professor Silke-Maria Weineck wrote in an essay for The Chronicle of Higher Education on September 6. “They’re right – we are.”’https://www.thecollegefix.com/academics-have-professional-duty-to-denounce-the-gop-umich-professor/
‘Fringe climate activism group Blockade Australia have used the passing of Queen Elizabeth II to call for the country to be renamed, claiming ‘Australia’ is rooted in oppression.
Blockade Australia have caught the ire of Australians fed up with the radical groups extreme tactics that have caused commuter chaos for thousands of frustrated workers.
The group’s stated aim is to disrupt the country’s critical infrastructure to get its message across, however critics and some environmentalists say its extreme methods damage the cause.
In a series of posts blasted across social media, Blockade Australia took the opportunity to ignite controversy following the Queen’s death.
“Australia is not the name of this continent,” the group boldly declared.
“Australia doesn’t refer to this land, these waters, or the many communities that call this place home.
“Australia is the name of the economic and political systems which work to oppress and exploit this continent and its peoples.
“These systems are complex, corrupt and have been designed to maximise extraction and maintain hierarchies of power.”
Social media users were quick to mock the activists, with some commenters pointing out that the group’s name also includes ‘Australia’. “You’re so stunning, so brave Blockade Australia d-heads,” added another.
The activist group has caused havoc at protests including a blockade at the Sydney Harbour Tunnel this year that caused major traffic delays.
Police arrested 10 Blockade Australia protesters in June when a group of about 50 activists stormed through Sydney’s streets chanting, playing drums, with some pulling down signs, dragging wheelie bins onto the road and blocking intersections.
Eight Blockade Australia protesters were arrested after Police raided the group’s camp in Sydney’s north-west with authorities condemning the activists as ‘not only dangerous to themselves, but they put the lives of members of the public and those rescuing them at risk.’https://www.rebelnews.com/climate_kooks_want_to_rename_australia?
