@NoNewLoops You should look up and see what any local groups in your area have going on. Show up for a bit and they'll help you get on the air.

@NoNewLoops We've actually added a few people locally this year and some of them weren't even retirees, hahaha

Hoosier Enquirer Statement: We Are DONE Covering the WNBA

Effective immediately, Hoosier Enquirer is dropping all WNBA coverage.

The league’s pathetic, weak-kneed response — and outright tolerance — of the targeting, cheap shots, and resentment aimed at Caitlin Clark has crossed a line. Clark is the single biggest reason anyone pays attention to the WNBA, yet she’s been met with silence, excuses, and soft defenses while the league cashes her checks. Enough.

Flip the script: If this hostility, rhetoric, and physical nonsense were directed at a Black star player, we all know exactly what would happen. Cities would burn. Businesses would be looted. Murders and chaos would once again be excused as “mostly peaceful” protests.

That’s the toxic double standard staring us in the face. Blanket words and selective outrage do have consequences — they destroy credibility, fuel division, and prove the game was never about fairness.

Hoosier Enquirer refuses to play along. We’ll keep covering real Indiana stories with honesty and accountability. The WNBA can chase its declining relevance without us. We stand with Caitlin Clark.

@NoNewLoops Computer nerds got nothing on ham radio nerds.

It's actually a national event. Pretty interesting if your into that.

In September 1990, my village in Valencia hit 46°C.

It was the exact kind of natural climate volatility this ancient planet has unleashed for billions of years.

Today, Valencia, Rome, and Athens are actually sitting well below their seasonal averages. Yet, the media is in a coordinated meltdown over a standard two-week warm patch in the UK, France, and Belgium.

As a geospatial engineer who wrote a thesis on climatology, I’m positioned better than many to talk about the topic, the entire narrative relies on a broken view of data systems.

The formula is simple: zoom in on a tiny slice of geography, filter out the cool regions that ruin the story, and label a hot afternoon a global catastrophe.

The funniest part is the sheer hubris of the solution.

We are told the Earth's massive climate system operates like a living room thermostat, that if humans just stop CO2 emissions, we can magically freeze the weather at our preferred temperature.

Pretending we can micromanage global macro-cycles with carbon taxes.

But as long as panic funds the machine, and people don’t think by themselves, they’ll keep selling the front-row tickets.

Not near severe enough.

NEWS: Alyssa Thomas has received a Flagrant 2 and a one-game suspension for the contact she made with Caitlin Clark's throat during Wednesday's game, the league announced.

Story TK

[Doc Gray @DocGrayToo]

These are not anecdotal examples, but mounting evidence of the systemic hate promoted by the @WNBA to specifically target @IndianaFever #CaitlinClark

When will the legacy W media and players stand up for what is right? Free the #BabyGoat

INSANITY! Savior of the WNBA, Caitlan Clark Gets Grounded, Punched in the Neck and Kneed to the Groin – Leaves Game with Back Injury

What a photo this is. Alyssa Thomas delivers a fist to the throat of Caitlin Clark. No foul was called. Will the WNBA continue to ignore the way its most marketable, popular and important player is hit and fouled by other players? Or will it finally act — and suspend Thomas?

[Often Surly @OftenSurly]

@SimmonsBart Absolutely!!

@sfchronicle Can we get a piece from the Chronicle with biblical experts explaining why the verse cited by the protester (Matthew 22:39, “Love they neighbor as yourself”) in no way directs people to celebrate and honor their neighbors’ sins?

[Lara Logan @laralogan]

I spent at least 15 years straight reporting from the battlefields of Iraq & Afghanistan for 60 Minutes & CBS News. Over that time I heard the same thing from countless men & women in uniform: “I came here so that we do not have to fight this war at home”. Now we see that the enemies of this country, both foreign & domestic, have successfully brought that war to our door. It looks different in different parts of the country & it does not account for all the decent people who want nothing but to raise their children in freedom & peace, just like the rest of us. But the globalists are determined to use their Islamist-leftist puppets to push us all into a clash of civilizations & we’ll be playing right into their evil hands.

The UK is bloody bonkers

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

Apparently the British government is contemplating banning the harvesting of peat because digging it up releases carbon and the fascists running things in the UK have a goal of being "net zero carbon emissions" by 2050.

Which will result in the destruction of the Scotch whisky industry.

The horror.

[Often Surly @OftenSurly]

Expose it all!!

[Nick shirley @nickshirleyy]

“The fraud is not real”

Today: 455 fraudsters charged, $6.5 billion exposed

*silent*

Society will never improve until people and the media can look at issues with a logical perspective of: Is this right or wrong to be happening?

EXPOSE IT ALL

USAID was a criminal organization that funded bioweapons, censorship & global coups with your tax dollars.

It was never about helping the poor. It was a viper’s nest of radical-left corruption, waste, and anti-America operations.

• $53 MILLION funneled to EcoHealth Alliance for gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab - research that created COVID-19

• Pushed censorship laws across Europe and pressured advertisers to boycott any media that wasn’t left-wing

• Funded Smartmatic election systems + color revolutions to interfere in foreign governments (including Poland’s PiS)

• Threatened Sen. Joni Ernst with lawsuits when she tried to audit their books

• Approved $6 million+ in recent shady contracts (including $1.2M to Deloitte for “HR services”) while massively overcharging taxpayers for circumcisions worldwide

USAID was a Deep State slush fund.

No corporate media outlets in America covered Tulsi Gabbard's release of documents on COVID and Fauci.

That's because America's corporate media outlets are controlled by America's intelligence agencies.

The Trump Admin should cancel their broadcast licenses.
