A video showing the head of a San Francisco tech firm verbally abusing an Asian family has caught the attention of ‘cancel’ crusaders, but it appears the witch hunt has already resulted in collateral damage. Michael Lofthouse, the CEO of IT company Solid8, was caught on camera making racist remarks to a family seated next to him at a restaurant. The video begins with one of the family members, Jordan Chan, daring Lofthouse to “say it again,” suggesting that the altercation had already started.

NASA requested that the smell of space be developed decades ago in order to help astronauts become accustomed to the very peculiar odour. One company has now decided to recreate the smell, and if the perfume is successful, it will create another space-themed fragrance. Good news for those who have always dreamt of going into space, but can’t wait for trips to become as affordable as flights on airplanes – a company on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter claims to have developed a perfume that smells like outer space. The Eau de Space team said it has connected with NASA astronauts to […]

General Michael Flynn had to be removed. He knew too much. He had to be shut down and silenced. He was the primary Deep State target. Sidney Powell was on the Vicki McKenna radio show and she dropped another bomb. Per a report from Lifezette, General Michael Flynn’s attorney Sidney Powell shared the following: “He was going to audit the intel agencies because he knew about the billions Brennan and company were running off the books,” Powell said, referring to former CIA Director John Brennan. Powell began her interview noting at the 1:00 mark that when she took over the Flynn […]
There is nothing I love more in this world than my cast iron skillet. It’s by far my favorite pan in the kitchen. People talk a lot about the differences between non-stick and cast iron, and while non-stick pans are great for things like eggs, that’s all they’re really good for (in my opinion). The cold hard truth is that cast iron pans get hotter, they are really easy to maintain, they are easy to clean, and they will last pretty much your entire life if you take care of them properly (which sounds intimidating, but isn’t hard at all). The […]
A cyber-attack targeting Australia’s government system businesses and service providers, confirmed on 19 June by Prime Minister Scott Morrison, was likely orchestrated by China in retaliation for the crackdown on Huawei, Australian media reported earlier. Huawei has condemned former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull for suggesting that his move in 2018 to ban the telecommunications equipment giant from installing the 5G mobile network in his country was now justified, due to recent reports claiming China might be behind a cyber-attack targeting Australia’s government system, reported The Australian Financial Review (AFR). Huawei’s chief corporate affairs officer Jeremy Mitchell issued a statement within hours […]
In November 2018 a faulty electricity pylon triggered a wildfire in the tinder-dry bush of northern California which raged out of control for 17 days, killing 85 people. So who was to blame and how is Pacific Gas & Electric still soldiering on after years of bungling and lawsuits? The CEO of Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), Bill Johnson, appeared in a courtroom in Butte County, northern California, on Tuesday, 16 June, and apologised for his company’s role in the events of 8 November 2018. Around 6.15am that morning a faulty power line near one of PG&E’s hydro-electric dams started […]
A Los Angeles watch company has put out a powerful new ad taking a different tack from the political posturing of craven Democrats: Lauding, not deriding, the police for the work they do. While numerous companies are kowtowing to the anti-law enforcement motif being pushed daily by the mainstream media, Egard Watches put out a YouTube video dedicated to praising police officers. “This world is so imperfect. It’s full of pain and fear,” narrates company owner Ilan Srulovicz, as photos of a burning car and violent clashes play on the screen. The screen cuts to a woman crying. “Despite all the […]
Crypto derivatives platform Seed CX will be axing its exchange arm to focus solely on settlements. Announced Thursday, Seed CX intends to focus on its Zero Hash product, the company’s custody and settlement service. Zero Hash began offering back-office settlement functions for bitcoin forwards contracts in September of last year. “As a start up [sic], you inherently gravitate towards opportunity and that often leads you to take on more, rather than less. However, it is equally important to begin to refine the business focus as certain opportunities develop into a ‘real venture growth business,’” CEO Edward Woodford wrote in a Medium […]

MTX will ensure everyone who comes in contact with individuals these states don’t want you to come in contact […]
Earlier today former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson tweeted out that Amazon had censored and refused to publish his latest book “Unpublished Truths about COVID-19 and Lockdowns.” THEY CENSORED IT! It is based entirely on published government data and scientific papers. It doesn’t say coronavirus isn’t real or doesn’t kill people (in fact, the worst-case death toll is likely to be striking to people). And Amazon won’t run it. — Alex Berenson (@AlexBerenson) June 4, 2020 Of course, this infuriated Alex who then tweeted out on the items still available at Amazon books. TRENDING: WTH?

Ten days ago Acting DNI Richard Grenell walked a “satchel of documents” over to the Department of Justice to hand over to AG Bill Barr. The documents inside the satchel are the cause of much speculation. Some believe the documents relate to the company John Brennan served as CEO for before joining the Obama Administration. J. E.

There is speculation that the firm that corrupt John Brennan was the CEO of, before working as CIA Head for […]
