Eden Prairie Police Department Celebrates Its Own at the Annual Awards Ceremony
The media have a vested interest in helping the Democratic Party. But because they can't just be honest about what the Democrats believe, and say, and do, they have to lie and gaslight and project in order to give the Dems a boost with the public. One of the things the media do, and do well, is painting anyone to the right of Stalin as an 'extremist.' They do it with the abortion issue: it's not the Democrats who support abortion at all nine months for any reason who are extreme, it's the Republicans who prefer European-esque restrictions on the procedure. Which is why the mention of 'political extremism' rose exponentially over the last decade, but only 'Right-wing extremism': Political Extremism was increasingly mentioned over the last decade in American newspapers pic.twitter.com/fn9DUkwre8 This flies in the face of the fact that the most violent crimes of the last decade were done by Left-wing criminals -- like James T. Hodgkinson, the Bernie Sanders supporter who shot Republican Steve Scalise during the Congressional Baseball game practice back in 2017. Or Audrey Hale, the Nashville shooter who was a Left-wing transgender . The “far right” was invented by legacy media YUP. Issue is the label is very loosely applied pic.twitter.com/9d7kpYf4RJ Exactly. And we told you about the actual hard-left shift of the Democrats the other day . The rise in propaganda pushed by the legacy media in recent years has truly been profound. Very profound. And damaging -- to both the media and our body politic. Most of this is fake news and propaganda. Not agreeing with someone's views and having opposing point of view doesn't count as political extremism. To the Left -- who think the worst thing you can do to a person is say mean things (and stuff they disagree with is 'mean'), it is 'extremism.' Newspapers becoming evermore detached from reality as they're bought out by conglomerates who's modus operandi is to increase the state's power. pic.twitter.com/9HWVfYOVtE Bingo. How often have white supremacist/extremist groups been the focus of crime dramas? Watching Hollywood productions, one would believe all gangs in America are white gangs. Of course. The growth of propaganda in legacy media is easily tracked simply by counting word frequency https://t.co/aW6qqOetez Simple, really. But, is anybody actually disputing this? Their political bias isn't just overt now, it's celebrated & shouted all over the airways. https://t.co/4x32k8ly6i They're disputing this. Meanwhile, leftwing intifadas are happening daily across campuses and cities in the West. https://t.co/316GM5Hc5U That's (D)ifferent. Media manipulation https://t.co/eZaTrxk3eJ Pure, unadulterated manipulation. NEWSPAPERS MENTION “FAR-LEFT”AND “FAR-RIGHT” A LOT MORE IN PAST DECADE Has America become more extreme in the last 10-years or has the media just decided it has? https://t.co/aAdinFf8Ui Right-wing America has not become more extreme. Left-wing America has.LEWISBURG — The Union County commissioners are developing a policy to address the growing trend of Right To Know requests submitted through artificial intelligence programs. At Tuesday's public work session, Chief Clerk Susan Greene asked the commissioners to review a policy allowing her to research the requester as the Right to Know officer. The county has seen an increase in Right to Know requests this year, many of which they believe are generated through AI. "It gives me the availability to be able to research if this person is truly a body, an actual live person from the United States," Greene said. "If it can be determined that the request is coming from a citizen of the United States, we will comply with the Right To Know. Up until now, we don't have anything in place to try to navigate and try to answer it." Greene said she responds to the emailed requests if the information is available. In some cases, Greene said she used the contact information to reach out to the requester to determine if they were a live human being. Commissioner Chair Preston Boop said the requesters are "fishing for information" for nefarious purposes. "We're at a point for artificial intelligence technology today where there are unlimited amounts of stuff Sue can be bombarded with that is of little value unless you're trying to figure out how to break into our technology systems," Boop said. "From my point of view that's my other fear. Whether that's legitimate or not, I don't know." Green said at least one request was from FOIA Buddy, an AI web-based business that files open records requests on behalf of paying customers. FOIA refers to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the federal law that allows citizens to seek public records from government agencies. The Pennsylvania Office of Open Records (OOR) released a statement about FOIA Buddy earlier this year. The agency has been contacted by numerous agencies that have received Right-to-Know Law (RTKL) requests from requesters using the AI program. "The OOR has confirmed that FOIA Buddy is operated by people who have a stated goal of efficiently promoting government transparency and accountability in a cost-effective manner for all involved," the office said. "There is no indication that FOIA Buddy is part of any phishing, scraping or scamming activities." The office cannot give specific legal advice on responding to RTKL requests made by or through FOIA Buddy, the agency said. "As with all RTKL requests, each agency is responsible for handling the requests it receives in compliance with the RTKL and pursuant to any of its own policies and procedures that are in accordance with the RTKL," the office statement said. "To the extent FOIA Buddy disagrees with an agency’s response with regard to a request filed under the RTKL, it can file an appeal with the OOR." Appeals involving FOIA Buddy have already been filed and docketed with the OOR, and final determinations can be found on the OOR's website. "Over the past year, the OOR has received numerous inquiries about anonymous requests," the OOR said. "The OOR recommends that agencies review their internal policies regarding the acceptance of anonymous RTKL requests. If an agency has decided to not accept anonymous requests, that policy should be prominently posted on an agency webpage." Boop said Right To Know requests have become "more intense" over the last five years. Some counties have hired employees to deal with such requests on a full-time basis. "This is not unique to Union County," Commissioner Jeff Reber said. "We're all trying to figure it out. I'm not aware of us ever having a conversation here that we don't want to give out information that people are allowed to have." Commissioner Stacy Richards said any new policy should not restrict the ability of citizens to request information nor add inappropriate burdens. She said she would like to have more information before bringing the matter to a vote. Greene said she would work with Solicitor Jonathan Dewald to develop the policy more and bring it to commissioners for further discussion.

Do you know who’s on the holiday naughty list? Scammers! Consumer Reports has a warning about some grinches trying to swipe your cash or steal your identity this holiday season! It’s called the drain scam. Last year, 41,632 cases of gift card draining were reported. This resulted in a loss of $217 million. Here’s how it works. Crooks go to a store, copy the card number and activation code, then reseal the package. When you load money on the card, it goes to Scrooge. Before you buy a gift card, inspect it. Run your finger over the card. Does it look like a sticker has been put over the barcode? Does it look like the package was opened and maybe glued back together? Buy gift cards from behind the counter or buy a virtual gift card. If you receive a gift card, use it as soon as possible. Online shoppers, as you scroll through social media, some deals might seem too good to be true. Passive scrolling is the biggest way people lose money on social media. Type the website name into any search engine or bbb.org. Then type in the word fraud, scam, or review and see what people are saying about it on the social media site. Watch out for delivery text scams where it looks like the post office is saying there’s a problem with your upcoming delivery. Do not click on that link! Swindlers hope you’ll enter your credit card information. You can get tracking notifications, but you must first sign up. Finally, it’s the season to give, but make sure you’re donating to a real charity! You can check Charity Navigator and Give.org to confirm the charity you choose is making the best use of your money.

Wavegate Corporation Announces $26 Million Series A Funding Round Led by UCEA Capital Partners Ltd.CHICAGO (AP) — Mark Scheifele snapped a third-period tie and Kyle Connor had two assists, helping the Winnipeg Jets beat Chicago 4-2 on Saturday in the first game for interim Blackhawks coach Anders Sorensen. Mason Appleton had a goal and an assist as the Jets picked up their second straight win after a four-game losing streak. Nino Niederreiter and Gabriel Vilardi also scored, and Connor Hellebuyck made 12 saves. Sorensen was promoted from the team's top minor league affiliate when Luke Richardson was fired on Thursday. Alex Vlasic scored for the second straight game for Chicago, which has dropped five in a row. Alec Martinez added his first goal of the season. The Blackhawks had a 2-1 lead before Niederreiter converted a backhander 13:10 into the second, beating Arvid Soderblom. It was Niederreiter's 10th of the season. Soderblom entered 11 minutes into the game when Petr Mrazek appeared to aggravate a right groin pull. Appleton had an empty-net goal with 1:41 to play. Jets: Winnipeg outplayed Chicago in the final 30 minutes, not only in shots but in puck possession. Blackhawks: Chicago played with more pace but it still struggled to get the puck to the net. They had only 14 shots on goal. Scheifele beat Jason Dickinson on the face-off that led to Winnipeg’s go-ahead goal. He slid the puck to Connor, then raced to the net for the rebound at 10:18. Blackhawks coaches, interim or full-time, are 6-7-1 in their first game behind the bench since the beginning of the 1995-96 season. Richardson lost his debut at the beginning of the 2022-23 season. The Jets begin a four-game homestand against Columbus on Sunday. The Blackhawks are in New York on Monday night to play the Rangers. AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl
