Lego instructs California police department to stop using Lego heads to mask identities of suspects

(Worthy Insights) – In an Instagram post from Tuesday, the Murrieta Police Department explained that it was placing Lego head images over suspects’ faces to mask their identities in accordance with state law.

“On January 1st, a new law went into effect that restricts the how and when law enforcement agencies in California share suspect photos & mugshots,” the post reads. “The new law, Assembly Bill 994 & Penal Code 13665, now prohibits law enforcement from sharing suspect photos for nonviolent crimes, unless specified circumstances exist. Additionally, the new law requires agencies to remove suspect mugshots from social media after 14 days, unless special circumstances exist.”

The Murrieta Police Department prides itself in its transparency with the community, but also honors everyone’s rights & protections as afforded by law; even suspects. In order to share what is happening in Murrieta, we chose to cover the faces of suspects to protect their identity while still aligning with the new law. [ Source (Read More…) ]

Fallout Continues Over Trump “Bloodbath” Media Hoax

(Worthy Insights) – The fallout is continuing over the media hoax claiming that Trump warned of a “bloodbath” if he didn’t win the election, when in reality he was speaking in economic terms.

During his speech in Ohio, on Saturday, the former president made comments regarding the car industry, Mexico and China.

“If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now…you’re going to not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the cars to us, no. We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected,” Trump said.

“Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it,” he added. “It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories,” he added.

Despite the context being clear, the media reported the story as if Trump had threatened a violent bloodbath in America. [ Source (Read More…) ]

No longer afraid of sparking war, Israel takes gloves off against IRGC in Syria

(Worthy Insights) – Israel’s years-long air campaign against Iran-linked groups and weapons in Syria appears to have shifted into high gear in recent months, with strikes on high-value targets at a pace that is “changing the rules of the game,” according to experts.

Although Israeli attacks on Iran-sponsored weapons transfers and Tehran-backed militias, including Hezbollah, go back to at least 2013, the air force is now unleashing more frequent operations that include assassinations of Iranian officials. Those on the ground have taken notice.

In just the last few days, Israeli jets hit two members of the Hezbollah terror group traveling in a truck near the Syrian-Lebanon border Sunday morning, and bombed a residential building in an upscale neighborhood of the Syrian capital Damascus frequented by leaders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, killing two people, according to local news sources. Tehran’s media sources claimed that no citizens of the Islamic Republic were killed. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]

New AllSides Study Shows Google News Pro-Leftist Bias Got WORSE

(Worthy Insights) – “Be Evil” should be Google’s new motto these days. The anti-free speech Big Tech giant has continued its sordid habit of suppressing right-leaning media sources while inundating users with left-leaning content.

A new analysis from media solutions company AllSides once again found that Google News is overwhelmingly elevating news media from “the left” while burying news media from “the right.” AllSides monitored Google News’ homepage over a two-week period in 2023 and uncovered that a whopping 63 percent of 494 articles came from sources “on the left.” By contrast, only a negligible six percent came from sources “on the right.” In addition, the group also analyzed stories generated through Google News’s search results based on specific prompts like “Economy” and “Abortion,” which likewise produced heavily skewed results favoring the left.

CBS faces uproar after seizing investigative journalist’s files

“Anyone who isn’t confused really doesn’t understand the situation.” Those words, from CBS icon Edward R. Murrow, came to mind this week after I spoke with journalists at the network.

There is trouble brewing at Black Rock, the headquarters of CBS, after the firing of Catherine Herridge, an acclaimed investigative reporter. Many of us were shocked after Herridge was included in layoffs this month, but those concerns have increased after CBS officials took the unusual step of seizing her files, computers and records, including information on privileged sources.

The position of CBS has alarmed many, including the union, as an attack on free press principles by one of the nation’s most esteemed press organizations. [ Source (Read More…) ]

Tony Bobulinski testifies Joe Biden participated in family’s Chinese business deal

(Worthy Insights) – One of Hunter Biden‘s former business partners told Congress in a closed-door interview this week that he witnessed firsthand how President Joe Biden was involved with his family members’ business dealings with a Chinese energy conglomerate and discussed how Joe Biden met with associates to further the dealings.

Tony Bobulinski said, according to a transcript released by House Republicans on Friday, that he himself met with Joe Biden “multiple times” in 2017 and that Hunter Biden had introduced them in the context of Bobulinski’s work with the energy company.

That company, CEFC, was tightly interwoven with the Chinese government, and Bobulinski said he remembered asking Joe Biden’s brother James, who was also involved in their venture, how the family was getting away with using Joe Biden’s political prominence and influence to secure work with CEFC.

Fauci’s former boss says COVID lab leak theory was not a conspiracy after calling it ‘distraction’

(Worthy Insights) – Dr. Francis Collins, the former National Institutes of Health director, told a congressional subcommittee on Friday that the coronavirus-lab Wuhan leak theory was not a conspiracy after calling it a “distraction” in 2021.

“Dr. Collins agreed with Dr. Fauci’s concession that the COVID-19 lab leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy,” Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, chairman of the House Select Subcommittee on Coronavirus Pandemic, wrote following Collins’ closed-door testimony on Friday.

“Dr. Collins minced words over the definition of gain-of-function research in an effort to hide the NIH’s involvement in funding the dangerous research in Wuhan. This wordplay mimics Dr. Fauci’s profuse defense of his previous Congressional testimony where he claimed the NIH did not fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan,” Wenstrup also wrote.

‘Experts’ Say New COVID Strain Will Cause Global “Heart Failure Pandemic”

(Worthy Insights) – A new strain known as JN.1 will cause many people to suffer from “reduced cardiac function,” according to the report.

“Japan’s top research institute Riken has now issued a warning in the new report, which states that the ACE2 receptors, which the coronavirus clings to within human cells, are ‘very common’ in the heart,” reports GB News.

“Even though conclusive clinical evidence that persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with declined cardiac function has not been reported so far, the proof-of-concept study of the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 persistent infection of the heart and the potential risk of opportunistic progression of heart failure should be validated by a three-dimensional human cardiac tissue model which would serve as the alarm bell for a global healthcare risk,” states the report.
