Welcome to the future, citizen, where employees not replaced by robots will be granted raises based on their predicted performance by a computer.
And no, this is not some dystopian vision of the future: IBM is already doing just that – using their “Watson” artificial intelligence to look at an employee’s “experiences and projects” and integrating data from their internal training system to assess whether an employee has gained new skills.

The name of México has several hypotheses that entail the origin, history, and use of the name México, which dates back to 14th century Mesoamerica. The Nahuatl word Mexicomeans place of the Mexica but the ethnonym Mexicatl itself is of unknown etymology.[1] An alternate possibility is that the name may come from the word mexixin, a cress that grew in the swamplands of Lake Texcoco.[citation needed] It was an edible grass that the Aztecs or Mexica survived on as they settled where today lies México City.

Australia’s Minister for Social Service, Dan Tehan, announced July 1st, the Australian Government will monetarily penalize any citizen whose children are not up to date on their vaccinations. The penalty, in the form of a reduction of government payments, amounts to $56 (AUD) monthly.
Called the “No Jab No Pay” program, Australia aims to increase compliance with government mandated vaccination programs by taking money away from its citizens. Parents who refuse to vaccinate their children may continue to do so under religious or medical grounds, but will not be allowed to keep the money they were previously receiving from the government.

Every illegal immigrant parent whose child was separated at the border has now been able to at least speak by telephone, the government said in a new court filing Friday.
And some parents have already been moved to new detention facilities to put them closer to where their children are being held, preparing for final unification and, in many cases, release from custody.

Donald Trump’s personal driver for more than 25 years says the billionaire real estate developer didn’t pay him overtime and raised his salary twice in 15 years, clawing back the second raise by cutting off his health benefits.
Noel Cintron, who is listed in public records as a registered Republican, sued the Trump Organization for about 3,300 of overtime that he says he worked in the past six years. He’s not allowed to sue for overtime prior to that due to the statute of limitations. Continue reading “Trump’s Personal Driver for 25 Years Sues for Unpaid Overtime”
Hundreds of thousands of migrants are waiting in Libya to cross the Mediterranean to Europe, according to Britain’s National Crime Agency.
It warned that Italy’s refusal to take stranded ships had created a bottleneck of 700,000 waiting in the North African country.

Port-au-Prince (AFP) – Scenes of anarchy alternated with tentative signs of a return to normal life in Haiti’s capital, with calls for a general strike Monday after two days of deadly looting and arson triggered by a quickly-aborted government attempt to raise fuel prices.
With the death toll rising to four, protesters in the impoverished Caribbean country called for a two-day general strike, despite the government’s climbdown over the price increases. Continue reading “Haiti between anarchy, normalcy after deadly fuel-price violence”

The transgender war on cultural norms is not just about restrooms and pronouns. It’s about denying biological fact and quotidian reality. It’s about an epidemic of irrationality, a cultural contagion, a mass delusion claiming more victims every day. It’s about silencing free thinkers who refuse to bow to the radical “gender” ideology.
Absurd theories that deny scientific fact have been adopted by the mainstream press, the entertainment industry, the medical establishment, public schools,universities, corporate management, and government agencies. People who fear social isolation and charges of bigotry are following along. Continue reading “Opposing the Transgender Movement”

Moments after Neo eats the red pill in “The Matrix,” he touches a liquefied mirror that takes over his skin, penetrating the innards of his body with computer code. When I first learned about the controversial new digital drug Abilify MyCite, I thought of this famous scene and wondered what kinds of people were being remade through this new biotechnology.
Otsuka Pharmaceuticals and Proteus Digital Health won Food and Drug Administration approval to sell Abilify MyCite in late 2017. This drug contains a digital sensor embedded within the powerful antipsychotic drug Abilify, the brand name for aripiprazole, which is used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder. The goal of the digital sensor is for doctors to monitor their patients’ intake of Abilify MyCite remotely and ensure that the patient is adhering to the correct drug dose and timing.

DETROIT – Given that the best way to store your car keys at night is by putting them in a coffee can, what’s an ex-FBI agent’s advice to protect cars from theft during the day?
Wrap car fobs in aluminum foil.
“Although it’s not ideal, it is the most inexpensive way,” said Holly Hubert, a cybersecurity expert who retired in 2017 from the FBI in Buffalo, New York. “The cyber threat is so dynamic and ever changing, it’s hard for consumers to keep up.” Continue reading “Why you might want to wrap your car key fob in foil”
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has issued an effective shutdown order to a New Mexico-licensed driver who was involved in a fatal crash earlier this year. Investigators say Evaristo S. Mora, who was served with the federal order July 3, was operating in violation of an out-of-service order and was in egregious violation of hours of service limits, says FMCSA.
The agency says that on June 13, Mora was driving in a work zone on U.S. 54 in Pratt County, Kansas, when his vehicle veered into a lane of oncoming traffic, colliding head-on with another tractor-trailer. The driver of the other vehicle was killed, as was a passenger in Mora’s truck cab. Continue reading “Driver involved in fatal crash while over hours limits shut down by FMCSA”
The Organic Prepper – by J.G. Martinez D.
Having overcome a few personal incidents that rocked the boat these last few weeks, I want to write now about one of the most important experiences regarding the psychological aspect of prepping. Looking back as a Venezuelan prepper, there are things I would have done differently if I had fully known what was coming our way.
Enduring what we have gone through, even after having a proper approach to prepping, sort of conventional in a sense: gensets, water tanks, storage capacity, dry supplies for a few months, and other stuff, all of these are into the field of the conventional and regular prepping.

Well, in case you were wondering if Sacha Baron Cohen’s still got it, the comedian’s new Trump-skewering Showtime series, which appears to be titled Who Is America?, just dropped a new promo in which his (still as-yet unseen) journalist character asks former vice-president Dick Cheney to sign a waterboarding kit, which Cheney does with a smile.
Now why, in this year of our Lord, in this time in American politics, after more than two decades of faux political comedy shows humiliating their interviewees, would Dick Cheney agree to jokingly sign a waterboard kit in front of a television camera?
