RELEASE THE TRANSCRIPT! CNN In Panic/Delete Mode Over Biden-Ukraine Phone Call Disaster

/in , , , , /by

According to leakers close to the story, and reported by CNN, the call, which lasted an hour and 20 minutes, and described as “candid” by the two leaders, saw Biden and Zelensky butting heads on the threat posed by Russia.

CNN In Meltdown Mode Over Biden-Ukraine Phone Call Fiasco

By Tyler Durden,  Zero Hedge, Jan 28, 2022:

Update (2023ET): CNN journos doing damage control after the network’s Natasha Bertrand panicked and deleted tweets containing harsh comments reportedly made by President Biden to Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky – namely that a Russian invasion was “imminent,” that the Capital city of Kyiv could be “sacked,” and to “prepare for impact.”

Now – none of that apparently happened according to CNN‘s Jim Sciutto, the White House, and apparently Ukraine itself. Of note, CNN claims their source was a “senior Ukrainian official.”

Human Events‘ Jack Posobiec lays it out:

We may have just caught a CNN reporter deleting a war report that exposed the truth about the White House and Ukraine

And it now looks like the White House pressured them to pull it.

Bertrand apparently didn’t get the message to CNN‘s Jake Tapper and Senior International Correspondent Matthew Chance, who repeated the now-disputed report – which CNN just deleted.

And the White House disputes:

Now, Posobiec reports that Zelensky’s office is also denying CNN’s report.

CNN‘s Alexander Marquardt gives a master class in walking back misinformation:

[ … ]

In their Thursday afternoon phone call which the White House called “a check-in”, it seems President Joe Biden took the opportunity to continue with an alarmist posture as he told his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy that a Russian invasion is “now highly certain” – according to CNN.

Further, “President Biden reaffirmed the readiness of the United States along with its allies and partners to respond decisively if Russia further invades Ukraine,” according to the White House call readout. But it remains that two conflicting narratives have emerged, given just prior to the call it was being reported that Zelensky was expected to request that the US be more cautious in its messaging surrounding a potential Russian attack, per source–particularly the word “imminent,” as it risks causing panic and negative economic consequences for Ukraine. That was also according to CNN.

But the statement immediately after the call of Zelensky himself was much more toned down compared to the White House rhetoric…

“Discussed recent diplomatic efforts on de-escalation and agreed on joint actions for the future,” Zelenskiy said in a tweet. “Thanked President Joe Biden for the ongoing military assistance,” he said, also affirming that the US offered further financial support to Ukraine, which was highlighted in the Biden statement.

CNN and mainstream media in general have of late seemed intent on hyping and stoking tensions to the point of armed conflict.

The “long phone conversation” with Biden was Zelensky’s second one this month. Again, compare the low key statement of Ukraine’s president himself with what Biden reportedly said to him concerning the “level” of the threat, supposedly with Kiev itself in the crosshairs…

The Ukrainian side appears to have leaked that Biden informed Zelensky that it’s “virtually certain” that Ukraine’s capital could be “sacked” and that Russian forces are looking to occupy it.

Here’s more from CNN:

Zelensky has been particularly concerned about the US’ rhetoric that war could be “imminent” — a word White House press secretary Jen Psaki used earlier this week to describe the US’ assessment of Russia’s plans — and the recent disclosures of intelligence to US media, the source said, which “is causing panic and economic disaster for Ukraine.”

Zelensky is expected to convey to Biden that he believes the US and its allies have to be more careful with their messaging surrounding the conflict, the source added. 

Zelensky during the call reportedly told the US president to calm down…

It seems the two leaders were openly at odds over the true level of the threat, with the White House now being accused of grossly inflating the threat. Indeed this has been the messaging of the Ukrainians all week, especially after the US took the dramatic step of telling some of its embassy staff in Kiev to leave the country over the Russian troop build-up near Ukraine.

On this issue, Biden had some explaining to do which likely didn’t make matters any better. Biden “made clear that despite the departure of American family members of embassy personnel, the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, remains open and fully operational,” according to the US readout.

Nazi Collaborator George Soros dishing out $125M to help Democrats in November’s midterms

/in , , , , , /by

The black hand strikes again. For the last several years, Nazi collaborator and radical left billionaire George Soros has been quietly financing a revolution, doling out tens of millions of dollars to progressive, anti-America candidates. Soros should be banned from this country – like Qaradawi was. And his filthy lucre should most certainly be prohibited from influencing American elections.

The whole of the country is under siege by a shadow government and the black hand of Soros, Dear Father of the Global left.

The ruin of this great nation is a long term project for Nazi collaborator George Soros, who described his work confiscating property from the Jews as “the happiest days of my life.”

Billionaire George Soros dishing out $125M to help Democrats in November’s midterms

Soros spent $80M of own money to support Democratic candidates and causes in 2020 election cycle

By Paul Steinhauser, Paul Conner, Fox Business, January 28, 2022:

Fox Business Flash top headlines are here. Check out what’s clicking on FoxBusiness.com.

Billionaire philanthropist and Democratic mega donor George Soros is pumping $125 million into a super PAC to support Democrats running in November’s midterm elections and beyond.

The 91-year-old Soros, who made his fortune in hedge funds, is infusing the money into the Democracy PAC, which he set up in 2019 to serve as his main political action committee to support Democratic causes, candidates and committees. Soros channeled roughly $80 million into the group during the 2020 cycle.

Soros said the massive new infusion of money will back pro-democracy “causes and candidates, regardless of political party” who are invested in “strengthening the infrastructure of American democracy: voting rights and civic participation, civil rights and liberties, and the rule of law.”

Soros, who shared his statement first with Politico, added that the money was designed as “long-term investment” that would support efforts well past November’s midterms.

Soros’ son Alexander Soros will serve as the PAC’s president.

The new donation will likely place the elder Soros among the top political donors in the 2022 midterms and makes him one of the few who’ve contributed an eye-popping nine figures in recent election cycles.

Watch: Widow of Slain NYPD Officer Gets Standing Ovation After Ripping Woke Manhattan DA in Powerful Eulogy

By The Federalist Papers, January 28, 2022

Dominique Luzuriaga, widow of fallen New York City Police officer Jason Rivera, drew a standing ovation while speaking at her husband’s funeral Friday after letting Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg have it for his soft-on-crime policies.

Luzuriaga struggled to maintain her composure as she spoke before the thousands of police officers, public officials, family and friends at Rivera’s memorial at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in midtown Manhattan.

She lamented that she and her husband had argued before he went to work on Jan. 21, when an assailant shot and killed Rivera, 22, and his partner Wilbert Mora, 27.

“You know it’s hard being a cop’s wife sometimes. It is hard being patient when plans were canceled or we would go days without seeing each other or when you had to write a report that would take forever because you had to voucher so many things,” Luzuriaga said.

Rivera and Luzuriaga were high school sweethearts, who married in October, the New York Post reported.

After learning that two police officers had been shot in Harlem, “My heart dropped,” Luzuriaga recounted.

“I immediately texted you and asked you, ‘Are you okay? Please tell me you’re okay. I know that you are mad right now but just text me you are okay. At least tell me you are busy.’ I get no response,” she said.

“We used to share locations on ‘Find My iPhone’ and when I checked yours I see you are at Harlem Hospital. I thought maybe you were sitting on a perp. But still, nothing. I called and then called again and then called one more time. And this time I felt something wasn’t right.”

Then Luzuriaga received a phone call telling her to rush to the hospital.

When she arrived, seeing all the people staring at her “was the scariest moment I’ve experienced,” she said.

“Dozens of people were surrounding me and yet, I felt alone. I couldn’t believe you left me. Seeing you in that hospital bed wrapped up in sheets and not hearing you when I was talking to you broke me,” Luzuriaga recalled. “I was lost. I’m still lost.”

It’s still a nightmare that has left her angry and hurting, but she pledged her husband’s death would not be in vain.

“You have the whole nation on gridlock. And although you won’t be here anymore, I want you to live through me,” Luzuriaga said.

She then directed some of her anger toward Bragg.

“The system continues to fail us,” she said. “We are not safe anymore, not even the members of the service [NYPD]. I know you were tired of these laws, especially the ones from the new DA. I hope he is watching you speak through me right now,” she continued, which drew a standing ovation in St. Patrick’s.

“I’m sure all of our blue family is tired, too, but I promise, we promise, that your death won’t be in vain. I love you to the end of time. We’ll take the watch from here,” Luzuriaga concluded, once again prompting a standing ovation.

Media Attack Investigative Reporter for Investigating and Reporting on Hamas-Linked CAIR

/in , , , , , /by

When accusations first emerged that Steven Emerson’s Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) had an informant inside the Ohio office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), it was clear that the media had missed the story entirely. Instead of bemoaning “spying” by a “mole” inside the most high-profile Islamist group in the nation, the headlines should have read “Moderate Muslim Infiltrates Islamist Organization.”

The story was pretty straightforward. A Muslim named Romin Iqbal had given information about his employer to a think-tank founder and investigative journalist. But when Iqbal’s cover was blown, and he did what he had to do to avoid being exiled by his “community” (or worse), the Ohio media acted as though they had discovered and exposed a scandalous and potentially illegal espionage scheme, and then the national media followed blindly in their footsteps.

Rather than shunning and slandering Emerson for investigating CAIR (which in 2008 was characterized, in the Dallas Morning News, as having been a front for Hamas in 1993 and whose founding members included former members of the Islamic Association for Palestine, which funneled money to Hamas before disbanding in 2004), the Ohio press should be celebrating him. Rather than distorting Emerson’s record and accusing him of being an “Islamophobe” running a hate group, the lazy writers in Ohio and elsewhere should emulate him and do some research of their own.

Like newsreaders regurgitating the words that appear on a teleprompter, Ohio reporters mostly repeated what CAIR told them, sometimes going a half step beyond to quote the Clinton-Podesta outfit known as the Center for American Progress. Not a single Ohio reporter that I found seemed to have taken time even to look at Wikipedia to learn about “allegations of Islamist ties.”

And those ties are more than alleged. Though CAIR will smear as “Islamophobes” any who call attention to its checkered history, the government of one nation, the United Arab Emirates, designated it a terrorist organization in 2014. The Simon Wiesenthal Center put CAIR on its Global Anti-Semitism 2021 Top Ten list. According to the Independent Sentinel, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (presumably safe from the charge of “Islamophobe”) once asserted that CAIR’s co-founders, Nihad Awad and Omar Ahmad, had “intimate links with Hamas” and that “we know [CAIR] has ties to terrorism.”

Prominent CAIR members convicted of terrorism-related charges include Abdurahman Alamoudi, Bassen Khafagi, Ghassan Elashi, Muthanna al-Hanooti, Randal Todd Royer, and Nabil Sadun-see. Others, like Siraj Wahhaj and Mousa Abu Marzook, are unindicted co-conspirators in terrorism cases; in fact, CAIR itself is listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism-funding case ever. And CAIR has long championed a number of terrorists, from Sami al-Arian to Aaifa Siddiqui (also known as “Lady Al-Qaeda”), the muse of Malik Failsal Aakram, who targeted Jews worshiping at a Texas synagogue earlier this month.

Even in identifying the two parties involved, one after another Ohio scribe was entirely uncritical about CAIR and libelous when it comes to Emerson and the IPT.

Sheridan Hendrix of the Columbus Dispatch called CAIR “a Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization” and the IPT “a known anti-Muslim group.”

Emily DeLetter at the Cincinnati Inquirer called CAIR “a national nonprofit civil rights organization” and the IPT “a known anti-Muslim hate group.”

Tana Weingartner of WVXU, Cincinnati’s NPR affiliate, also called the IPT “a known anti-Muslim hate group” and added that Emerson is a “key misinformation expert” (a phrase she filched from the Center on American Progress).

Writing for Axios Columbus, Tyler Buchanan called CAIR “an Ohio Muslim organization” and stood out slightly from the rest of the “copy and paste” Ohio press by adding a veneer of objectivity identifying that the IPT is “considered to be an anti-Muslim group” (though he failed to indicate exactly who considers it so).

Maybe this flawed reporting is just an unfortunate side effect of the hollowing out of local news, which has hit Ohio as much as elsewhere. But readers expect better from a national publication such as the Washington Post. Unfortunately they would be disappointed to read the exposé published there by Michelle Boorstein and Hannah Allam, who engage in equally uncurious, lazy reporting of innuendo when it comes to IPT and Emerson and in uncritical, gullible, and evasive writing when it comes to CAIR.

Boorstein’s and Allam’s “scoop” is that the IPT had a “mole” not only in the Ohio office of CAIR but also in the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center, where another moderate Muslim, Tariq Nelson, had infiltrated the infamous al-Qaeda-friendly mosque. They also allege that the Dar Al-Hijrah informant was compensated for his efforts, implying that paying informants (as law-enforcement agents and intelligence officers do all the time) is a grievous breach of ethics if not of law. But even the high and mighty New York Times acknowledges that “checkbook journalism” is acceptable when it’s “in the public interest” and when it “serves democracy.”

Their “exclusive” also included a new source, their own “mole” who used to work at the IPT and told them a tale of being “tricked into believing that we were working for a patriotic cause,” while merely “protecting a foreign government — Israel.” I wonder if Boorstein and Allam (or CAIR) paid this “informant.”

Boorstein and Allam make two erroneous assumptions: that investigative journalism is akin to government surveillance (a comparison they repeatedly make) and that there is something devious about a reporter researching Hamas “communicating with the Israeli government.”

There is more. Read the rest here.

Three Laws Every American Politician Must Follow

/in , , , , , , /by

“There is nothing so eternally adhesive as the memory of power.” ― Isaac Asimov, I, Robot

American science fiction writer and professor of biochemistry at Boston University Isaac Asimov in his 1950 book “I, Robot” formulated three laws governing a robots’ behavior. Asimov’s idea was to protect mankind from a robot’s superior ability to do harm. Asimov wrote,

“Because, if you stop to think of it, the three Rules of Robotics are the essential guiding principles of a good many of the world’s ethical systems.”

Today we have a new form of robot called a politician. It seems today that many of our American politicians have abandoned some or even all commonly held essential “ethical principles.”

These American politicians follow, like robots, their party lines. At times these politicians seem more interested in money, power and control rather than protecting the interests of those who elected them. They are programed to obey their political party’s policies, slogans, lies and myths. They don’t think of their constituents and only think about how they can keep themselves in office, for ever!

Today politicians seem to want to fundamentally transform Americans rather than serve as good stewards in service to the American people.

We have decided, using Asimov’s model of Laws for Robots, to create our own Laws for Politicians.

Three Laws for American Politicians

Here are our Three Laws:

First Law

A politician may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

Second Law

A politician must obey the orders given it by human beings who elected them except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

Third Law

A politician must protect his/her own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

These three laws can and must be put into place immediately to keep politicians from further harming we the people.

Today, politicians have allowed harm to come to human beings in many ways. Among them are:

  1. Endless Wars, which by their very nature violate the First Law.
  2. Government Tyranny, which by definition violates the First Law.
  3. Political Gain, e.g. eliminate the opposition, violates the First Law.
  4. Government mandates, edicts and laws that violate the First Law.
  5. Policies that are the antitheses of the rights contained in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights and therefore by definition violate the First Law.

The Bottom Line

Isaac Asimov write,

“It is always useful, you see, to subject the past life of reform politicians to rather inquisitive research.”

We have, using “inquisitive research,” created these Three Laws for American Politicians.

If not us then who? If not now then when?

Politicians demand we obey their laws, but exclude themselves from obeying their own laws. Examples abound of politicians imposing laws that they exempt themselves from. Laws including: Obamacare, to insider trading, to vaccine mandates, to travel mandates, to mask mandates, slavery in the form of human trafficking, incarceration of those who disagree with the politician’s will, to the murder of tens of thousands in the name of public safety.

Time for some simple laws for politicians that even they can understand.

Have you seen this documentary ‘Nefarious Merchant of Souls by Exodus Cry’?

/in , , , , , , , /by

We received this compelling video from Exodus Cry. If you have any compassion for those who are being sex trafficked then please watch this documentary.

ACCORDING TO EXODUS CRY

Not long after Exodus Cry was founded, we began working on a short informational video about human trafficking. But the deeper we dug, the more we realized this was a subject that deserved everything we could pour into it.

Nineteen countries, four continents, and four years later we had Nefarious: Merchant of Souls, a raw, yet redemptive feature-length film that has illuminated the true face of sex trafficking for millions of viewers around the world.

Movieguide described it this way:

“One of the most powerful, compelling, and transformational documentaries ever made.”

After receiving 24 awards, this film was screened in venues around the world, including for the UN, the US Congress, Canadian Parliament, and has helped shape critical legislation regarding human trafficking.

But what’s even more inspiring is hearing the stories from viewers, like you, who’ve been impacted by it, and who joined the fight against trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation after watching it.

One viewer told us,

“Ten years ago this month I watched Nefarious… It changed my life forever. From there I dedicated my life to the cause… and became a Federal Special Agent that investigates human trafficking cases. Thank you for your work inspiring others to take action.”

We were also thrilled to learn recently that a major news network is now regularly highlighting this film on their site.

It’s National Human Trafficking Prevention month here in the US and it’s a great time to watch Nefarious—now free on YouTube—share it with a friend, and help strengthen the movement to uproot trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.

We’re also working on several more paradigm-shifting films that expose trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation, and you can help bring them to life by giving here.

Together for freedom,

Tech Mate: How Silicon Valley’s China Pals Compromise America

/in , , , , , , , /by

He calls it “the scariest investigation I’ve ever conducted.” And anyone reading through the bombshell revelations of Peter Schweizer’s new book are bound to agree. Most Americans knew the Chinese Communist Party was quietly trying to infiltrate our colleges, financial institutions, tech companies — even our military. What they didn’t know is who’s helping them: Big Tech. Turns out, Silicon Valley isn’t just sympathetic to the evil regime — they’re accessories to it.

There are a lot of jarring moments in Schweizer’s Red Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, but the overall picture is deeply disturbing — young, Silicon Valley billionaires eager to indulge their friends at the highest levels of China’s government. Of course, that’s just fine with the regime, who would like nothing more than access to our technology so they can compete with and overtake us. “Science and technology is a national weapon,” Chinese President Xi Jinping has insisted. “We should seize the commanding heights of technological competition and future development.”

CEOs like Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg have been all too anxious to help — forging close relationships with the regime’s bad actors that could spell disaster for America. Zuckerberg is so infatuated with the communist leader that when he finally met the dictator face to face, he asked him to name their unborn baby. Taken aback, Xi said it was “too great a responsibility.” Over the years, the young mogul’s affection for the communist system has only deepened. He learned Mandarin, agreed to controversial projects with Beijing, and allowed himself to be seduced by men desperate to understand and surpass U.S. technology.

“They’re quite explicit about [their agenda],” Schweizer explained on “Washington Watch.” “They have a strategy called elite capture. And basically… their goal — and they’ve stated this openly — is to surpass the United States and to become the supreme power on the planet. And rather than going toe to toe with the United States and our powerful economic system, they simply want to co-opt elites. So they call it ‘elite capture.’ And their theory is if they can neuter our elites, they can effectively win this competition without having to go head-to-head with the United States.”

Thanks to pliant targets like Zuckerberg, China’s gameplan — wooing the Valley’s biggest players — seems to be working. Zuckerberg is so enamored with the regime that when a Chinese official named Lu Wei visited Facebook headquarters, Schweizer writes that he was surprised to see a copy of The Governance of China, a compilation of Xi’s speeches, sitting on the CEO’s desk. Why was it there, Wei asked? Zuckerberg replied that he wanted to educate his staff. “I want to make them understand socialism with Chinese characteristics,” he insisted.

And he’s not alone. Almost every Silicon Valley titan seems desperate to “suck up to Xi,” Schweizer says. “We know that Microsoft [and] Google are doing joint research projects where they are putting… intellectual capital into China — and those research projects are with institutions linked to the Chinese military.” In other words, top U.S. companies are helping to arm and inform America’s biggest rival. Along with research on artificial intelligence, “Bill Gates, for example, [has] personally invested in Chinese companies [like] BYD, which is involved in developing missile technology for China.” In the old days, that would be called treason. Today, it’s a flashing red sign that these tech executives don’t have an allegiance to the United States.

“They don’t seem to be particularly concerned that they are subsidizing and helping the Chinese military… In fact,” Schweizer pointed out, “Microsoft is a company that actually takes interns from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. I mean, it’s that blatant.”

And while some of the motivation is money — China is a major revenue stream for companies like the NBA, Disney, Apple, Hollywood, and others — there’s something much more dangerous at work. “… A lot of these executives in Silicon Valley and on Wall Street have an admiration for the dictatorial regime in China. They’ll use phrases like, ‘The Chinese government is so much more efficient than the United States. They make decisions so much more quickly.’ Well, of course, autocratic governments have that advantage, so it’s about more than just money. I think there is actually an attraction — not so much to the ideology, but to the efficiencies of an autocratic government. Plus, the fact that, of course, the Chinese government gives all kinds of awards and accolades to these business executives.”

The obvious problem — one that could haunt America for decades to come — is that these naïve tycoons are jeopardizing U.S. national security. America’s top brass has been sounding the alarm for years that these partnerships could be deadly. In 2017, Marine General James Dunford, then the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff, bluntly told a U.S. Senate committee that “the work Google is doing in China is indirectly benefitting the Chinese military.” Then, thinking twice, he corrected himself. “Frankly, ‘indirect’ may not be a full characterization of the way it really is. It’s more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military.”

In one instance, Google and Facebook teamed up on an underwater cable that would run from San Francisco to Hong Kong. The two tech giants partnered with a Chinese company called Dr. Peng Telecom & Media Group that was financially backed by the Chinese government and reportedly worked closely with Huawei and military defense contractors in China. It was such a radical idea that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, in a very rare move, blocked it after the FBI and Justice Department decided that it would be a gateway to Chinese espionage. The scary part, Schweizer points out, is that the people at Facebook and Google probably know “a lot more about technology than the DOJ. So if the Department of Justice knows that this has created an unprecedented opportunity for espionage, you can bet that Google and Facebook knew that from the beginning. But I think honestly, they just didn’t care because they’re blinded by their ambitions as it relates to China.”

Add that to the leverage the regime has over Joe Biden and family, and America has never felt more vulnerable. The villains who unleashed COVID on the world, who built a network of Uyghur torture chambers, who makes outspoken tennis stars vanish is on the verge of global dominance. And we have no one but ourselves to blame. It’s time to stop Big Tech’s anti-American elitists from undermining their own country. Our future security depends on it.

A Bridge too far!

/in , , , , , /by

“Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.” – Khalil Gibran

Now, I am not a huge conspiracy theory kinda guy. I do not believe in coincidences. I also have an inherent distrust of government, especially this particular left wing extremist administration.

I live in a realistic world where I understand big government is not our friend. This administration actually goes way beyond that by, I believe, being a true domestic enemy and filled with treasonous, terrorist and vile snakes whose sole aim is the permanent destruction of our constitutional republic.

Anyway! Back to the subject of this blog and my earlier statement on coincidences.

What are the chances of senile old Joe heading to Pittsburgh to promote a hugely obscene $1 trillion infrastructure bill, and a bridge just so luckily collapsing that day? I think that without physical help from some evil Americans, that chance is zero.

Watch: Bridge collapses in Pittsburgh:

Biden has used the rhetoric from that bridge collapse all day. As has his evil group of lying, treasonous and definitely anti American MSM. Pittsburgh’s own commie Mayor, Ed Gainey, emphasized the importance of Biden’s visit after the bridge collapse. His left hand was out for some of that free tax payer money but now, both hands were out as he realized his trade union work force and other corrupt individuals would be made so much richer! What a great collapse that old bridge performed! And look, no deaths as yet! Just a great photo opportunity with his buddy, corrupt Joe! Plus he ran on a platform of good paying, good benefit trades union jobs!!! After all, he owed them for backing his campaign!

A lot of Americans will believe him. They will just accept that the bridge just so happened to give up the ghost and collapse conveniently just as Sniffer Joe arrives! That everyone needs a handout to support the commie controlled trade union workforce that will spend at least 200% more to fix the bridges than the true cost. After all – there are so many officials with their hands out to get some of that free federal money.

Don’t believe the hype America! This administration is full of lies and hot air. They are supported by a MSM that would not know the truth, or how to find it, if it were in front of them with huge neon flashing signs!

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Thursday on Twitter, Missouri Rep. Cori Bush (D) confirmed reports that her car was struck by gunfire over the weekend in the St. Louis area.

“I’m touched by everyone who has reached out,” Bush tweeted. “Thankfully no one was harmed. But any act of gun violence shakes your soul. That’s why our movement is working to invest in our communities, eradicate the root causes of gun violence, and keep everyone safe.”

Bush was not injured in the shooting, as the vehicle was parked when it was hit. A source reported that Bush apparently was not the target of the gunfire. There was evidence that someone tampered with the door handles on other cars near Bush’s vehicle at the time of the shooting.

This is the second time Bush’s car has been struck by gunfire. In June 2020, she tweeted, “My car took the bullets. I am safe. A bullet went through my door handle on one side of the car, another went through my tire on the other side.”

Bush happens to be a loud advocate of the idiotic Democrat call to defund police departments, not to mention a raging hypocrite. After the Federal Election Commission revealed that the congresswoman spent over $130,000 on personal security services, she angrily shot back at critics, asking if “they would rather I die? You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see? You want to see me die? You know, because that could be the alternative.”

“I have private security because my body is worth being on this planet right now,” she added. But her constituents’ bodies apparently aren’t worth the basic security of taxpayer-funded police protection.

Paying Massive Sums of Money for Personal Security Guards While Advocating Police Defunding

During an interview with CBS on August 4, 2021, Bush responded to those who had criticized her as a hypocrite for advocating the defunding of police while spending some $70,000 of her campaign funds on private security protection for herself during a three-month time period: “You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see? You want to see me die? Because that could be the alternative. So, either I spend $70,000 on private security over the last few months and I’m here standing now and able to speak, able to help save eleven million people from being evicted, or I could possibly have a death attempt on my life. And we’re also talking about the same exact people who say horrible things about me, who lie to get — to build up their base, and then because they lie about me, I receive death threats.”

Added Bush: “I’m going to make sure I have security. Because I know I have had attempts on my life, and I have too much work to do. There are too many people that need help right now for me to allow that. So, if I end up spending 200,000, if I spend ten more dollars on it, you know what, I get to be here to do the work. So, suck it up. And defunding the police has to happen. We need to defund the police and put that money into social safety nets. Because we’re trying to save lives.”

SISSY WATCH USA: Tim Cook and Apple’s Pregnant Man Emoji

/in , , , , , , /by

“No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.” – Plato

This edition of Sissy Watch USA is brought to you by Apple Corporation and its CEO Timothy Donald Cook. It appears Mr. Cook and his team have decided that men can get pregnant and in order to get ahead of the pregnant man curve they have produced a pregnant man emoji. But of course Tim is a sissy him/her/itself.

Watch: As Apple CEO Tim Cook in a November 19th, 2018  CNN interview says he “wanted to show kids it’s ok to be gay.”

You may want to reconsider getting your sons or daughters any Apple products for their birthdays, e.g. an iPhone.

WARNING: Tim is after your kids.

Gender and Computer Code is Binary

You would think that the people at Apple who spend a lot of time coding for Apple products would understand that gender, like computer code, is binary. Wouldn’t you?

This new pregnant man emoji fits in perfectly with the notion that gender is non-binary, even though every Apple product uses binary code. Strange wouldn’t you think?

Of course it would take a woman to point out that this is not only biologically impossible it is absurd. As U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) notes, “Men still can’t get pregnant.”

We are learning that what the government has told us about Covid, the vaccines and the negative effects of getting jabbed is “disinformation” and many social media sites censor those who point out otherwise. But isn’t Apple and the gay/bisexual/sodomite/non-binary community pushing disinformation about the negative effects of their lifestyles?

Disinformation is rampant today. Watch how Tucker Carlson deals with Apple’s pregnant man emoji:

Here’s the scientifically absurd notion that this pregnant man emoji has brought to the forefront.

The Bottom Line

With the new IOS 15.4 update, there will new emojis available on Apple iPhones. Among them will be a “pregnant man” and “pregnant person” emojis.

The myth of a pregnant man began in 2008 when Thomas Trace Beatie became world-famous for being the first “pregnant man” in history, giving birth to a girl naturally. But Thomas Trace Beatie was biologically a female. According to The History of Yesterday,

Thomas Trace Beatie was born in 1974. He was assigned female at birth, that is why his name is also Trace.

[ … ]

As Beatie reached her teenage years, he started realizing that being a woman didn’t feel right. That is why in 2002 Thomas had sex-reassignment surgery and legally changed his gender from female to male.

[ … ]

This surgery was a bit more special as Beatie decided to keep his female reproductive organs as he always wanted to bear a child as his wife at the time Nancy wasn’t able to. With a testosterone level still low allowing a pregnancy to occur, all that was left to do is find a sperm donor suitable for the couple.

Tim Cook is part and parcel of the “cancel culture” and “culture war” being waged against the truth and our children. Apple has the perfect tools to push their agenda because you wear their products on your wrists, i.e. Apple watch, and keep you keep your iPhone in your back pocket, if your a male, or in your purse if you are a female, or purse carrying sissy who believes in the non-binary tripe.

George Orwell, in his dystopian novel 1984, wrote,

“Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.” 

Tim Cook is tearing apart our children’s minds and putting them back together to push his gay agenda.

So, there you have it.

Apple’s mythological pregnant man emoji and Sissy Watch USA’s second star Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, Inc.

BTW: Apple is also into the unrealistic myth of carbon neutrality.

Court finds Pennsylvania mail-in voting law unconstitutional

by: George Stockburger, ABC 27 News, Jan 28, 2022:

(WHTM) – The Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania has found the commonwealth’s no-excuse mail-in voting law, Act 77, is unconstitutional.

According to court documents, 14 members of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives filed a petition to block the 2019 law that would allow any qualified voter to vote by mail.

The law allowed voters to submit a ballot by mail up to 50 days before an election and placed voters on a list to permanently receive a ballot application by mail. It also established 15 more days to register to vote and extended amil=in and absentee submission deadlines.

Act 77 also outlined rules for voting machine decertification and appropriated funding for voting machine upgrades that provide a verifiable paper trail.

Acting Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Veronica Degraffenreid argued that the challenge to no-excuse mail-in voting lacked standing and that the challenge was untimely filed.

‘Defund the Police’ Radical Among Names to Replace Justice Breyer

/in , , , , , , /by

And the lumbering, double-dealing, RINO reprobates will sign off on this monster.

Defund the Police’ Activist Among Names to Replace Justice Breyer

Among the Black women being discussed as President Joe Biden’s possible nominee to fill the Supreme Court seat of retiring Justice Stephen Breyer is a civil rights lawyer who has backed the ”defund the police” movement.

By: Newsmax, January 28, 2022;

Lawyer Sherrilyn Ifill, 59, was mentioned by The Associated Press and number of Democrats, progressives in particular, as a candidate. Ifill is president and director-counsel at the Legal Defense Fund of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Biden vowed during the 2020 campaign debates to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court, because it was “time” for a Black woman to have “representation.”

Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., an avowed Black Lives Matter activist, tweeted: “.@POTUS you promised us a Black woman on the Supreme Court. Let’s see it happen.”

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, mentioned Ifill specifically among those that should be “weighed and considered” to replace Breyer, tweeting:

“On behalf of the constituents of Texas’ 18th Congressional District and Texas, I thank him for his leadership and wish him all of the best. I strongly believe that his retirement presents the perfect opportunity for President Biden to follow through on his campaign promise to appoint the first Black Woman to the Supreme Court. While there are many qualified contenders to fill the vacancy of this seat on the court, the candidacy of Ketanji Brown Jackson, Leondra Kruger, J. Michelle Childs, Wilhelmina ‘Mimi’ Wright, Eunice Lee, Candace Jackson-Akiwumi and Sherrilyn Ifill should all be weighed and considered.”

Ifill has been open in her support of the defund the police movement after George Floyd was killed by a police officer and amid 2020 election year protests, telling “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert“:

“It’s been interesting to see how this phrase ‘defund the police’ makes people very anxious and very nervous. This is our opportunity to do something that’s long overdue, which is to fundamentally re-imagine what public safety looks like in this country.

“What we have done is we have turned over armed law enforcement officers the right to enter our communities to solve a set of community conflicts that actually don’t require an armed officer. Rather than turn the entire public safety regime over to armed law-enforcement officers, we need to look at that funding, reduce that funding, and use it to support these other services.

“I think the anxiety is about the phrase and actually not anxiety about the concept. We should be looking at budgets. We should recognize that this over-reliance on police has given us a regime that we can see is not working.”

Ifill tweeted June 7, 2020, shortly after Floyd’s death sparked nationwide outrage:

“Drastically reducing police funding shld not only result in those funds going to other existing social svc agencies (b/c some may also be dysfunctional). This is a chance to re-imagine public safety w/support for new community-based measures that can be transformative.”

President Joe Biden had suggested at times during his 2020 campaign he would support redirecting police funding, but he denies ever calling for defunding the police. Just this week, White House press secretary Jen Psaki acknowledged “underfunding” of police in some cities has fueled a crime surge.

Biden State Department admits Trump’s Iran envoy is facing ‘serious and credible threats’

/in , , , , , , , /by

Yet they continue to negotiate in good faith in Vienna with the Islamic Republic. Why?

Biden Admin: Former Trump Iran Envoy Facing ‘Serious and Credible’ Threats

by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, January 26, 2022:

The Trump administration’s Iran envoy is facing “serious and credible” threats to his safety, according to a non-public assessment produced this month by the State Department and viewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The determination was delivered to Congress amid a campaign of public death threats by Iran aimed at former president Donald Trump and top administration officials.

The State Department in an unclassified but non-public assessment provided to Congress on Jan. 11 determined that a “specific threat persists with respect to former special representative [for Iran] Brian Hook,” who helmed the Trump administration’s maximum pressure campaign on Tehran and was instrumental in the assassination of Iranian terror leader Qassem Soleimani. The document does not name the actors behind the threats, describing them only as a “foreign power or the agent of a foreign power.”

Iran, however, has repeatedly threatened to kill Trump administration officials, including Hook, as payback for the 2020 drone strike on Soleimani. The State Department determination indicates that Hook has been under a “serious and credible” threat since at least January 2021, when Trump and former secretary of state Mike Pompeo were still in office. The Biden State Department determined on three separate occasions, most recently November 2021, that the threats persist, according to the notification.

The State Department’s latest assessment comes amid public comments by top Iranian leaders that threaten the lives of Trump and senior members of his administration. Iranian government accounts on Twitter and other social media sites promised multiple times this month to assassinate Trump, with the regime issuing an official video that depicts a drone strike on the former president. The Biden administration says it takes these threats seriously and will do everything it can to protect former and current officials.

The State Department’s notice to Congress was issued just days after a former top Iranian official bragged about the death threats against Hook in the Iranian media. Hussein Mousavian, a former member of Iran’s nuclear negotiating team who works as a Middle East security and nuclear policy specialist at Princeton University, sparked a media firestorm when he was seen touting the threats against Hook in a documentary produced by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

“I went to America and an American told me that Brian Hook’s wife can’t sleep, she cries and trembles, she told Brian, ‘They’ll kill you,’ since Hook was a partner in the death of Haj Qassem [Soleimani], that’s how much they were trembling,” Mousavian said in the documentary 72 Hours, produced and released this month by a company tied to the corps.

Iran has tried multiple times during the past several years to assassinate and kidnap enemies outside its borders, including in the United States. Four members of an Iranian intelligence network were indicted last year in a New York federal court for attempting to kidnap a prominent regime opponent, highlighting Tehran’s reach into the United States. Iran also tried to assassinate the U.S. ambassador in South Africa, as well as Saudi Arabia’s ambassador in Washington, D.C.

Mousavian’s comments—as well as his close ties to the Iranian ruling regime—put Princeton in the hot seat, with U.S. advocacy groups calling on the high-profile university to fire him. Mousavian, who regularly travels between Iran and the United States, has worked at Princeton since 2009 and has served in senior roles for the Iranian regime. His perch at Princeton demonstrates how Tehran has been able to mainstream its allies into prominent positions at U.S. universities and other American outposts, such as D.C.-based think tanks….

Biden Admin Now Running Biggest Human Trafficking Operation in History

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Fox News published an infuriating report on January 25 which featured footage of a mass release of single adult migrants into U.S.

Here is an important excerpt:

Several of the migrants told Fox that they had crossed illegally that morning, paying approximately $2,000 per person to cartel smugglers. They also said they were flying to destinations including Miami, Houston and Atlanta.

Single adults are typically being expelled via Trump-era Title 42 public health protections. The Biden administration kept Title 42 in place but is not applying it to unaccompanied children or most migrant families. However, single adults have long been the easiest category of migrant to deport.

In a statement to Fox News, the city of Brownsville said its Office of Emergency Management, through federal assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), works to facilitate “the transfer of these migrants to their final destination by allowing them to use services to contact their families, NGOs, or a taxicab.”

It confirmed that the parking garage serves as a staging area for migrants to be given travel information to “facilitate their transfer to their final destinations.” Migrants can also be given a health screening there, a spokesperson said.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said its agency was not involved in the release. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) source who viewed the footage said they believed it was an ICE release.

The development comes just as CBP officially released its December border numbers — showing 178,840 encounters in December, a slight increase over November, but significantly higher than the 73,994 encountered in December 2020.

While shocking and disturbing, the insanity reported upon was not an isolated incident.

I recently wrote an article, “The Midnight Flights of the Biden Administration,” that was partially predicated upon another Fox News report that included a video from Lou Barletta, a former congressman and current candidate for the governorship of Pennsylvania, showing images of suspected ‘ghost flights’ arriving in Wilkes-Barre on Christmas.

In my previous article, I contrasted the patriotic actions of Paul Revere and others who rode out on horseback back in 1775 to warn the colonists of an impending British invasion with the current invasion that has been sanctioned — and indeed, encouraged — by the Biden administration.

Lou and I have known each other for many years, going back to when he was the mayor of Hazleton, PA, and sought help from the George W. Bush administration when a violent gang of illegal aliens from the Dominican Republic moved into his quiet town and began selling drugs on the playground. They committed the cold-blooded murder of a resident of Hazleton who told them to not sell drugs where his children were playing.

The Bush administration refused to provide any assistance and consequently Lou became the first mayor to promulgate ordinances to punish those who provided jobs or housing to illegal aliens. Not surprisingly, the ACLU immediately launched a lawsuit against the statutes. I was the final witness at the federal trial in defense of those important ordinances.

A few days ago, Lou and I taped a discussion we had about the so-called ‘ghost flights’ he captured on video and the broader immigration crisis that has been exponentially amped up by the Biden administration.

That video is well-worth watching.

The point is that the open borders advocates are quick to attack anyone who supports immigration law enforcement and securing America’s border against the uninspected entry of people and commerce.

Open borders advocates who are the “Profiteers of Biden Administration’s Open Borders Policy” can be found in both political parties — because for them our borders are not America’s first and last lines of defense but instead impediments to their immense wealth!

Around the world, most borders were decided upon after wars and bloody conflicts. Borders are not written in chalk or crayon but blood!

Nevertheless, Rep. Nancy Pelosi came to refer to the border barrier that President Trump sought to construct as being a “wall of hate.”

In reality, the wall was not designed to stop anyone from entering the U.S. but instead to simply funnel all traffic into our ports of entry so aliens could be vetted to ensure those who posed a threat to public health, national security, or public safety were not permitted to enter the U.S. The vetting process is guided not by supposed “xenophobia” or “racism” but by a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S. Code § 1182.

My recent article, “AG Garland Ignores Vital Immigration Law Enforcement,” included the preface of the official report, “9/11 and Terrorist Travel,” which begins with the following paragraph:

It is perhaps obvious to state that terrorists cannot plan and carry out attacks in the United States if they are unable to enter the country. Yet prior to September 11, while there were efforts to enhance border security, no agency of the U.S. government thought of border security as a tool in the counterterrorism arsenal. Indeed, even after 19 hijackers demonstrated the relative ease of obtaining a U.S. visa and gaining admission into the United States, border security still is not considered a cornerstone of national security policy. We believe, for reasons we discuss in the following pages, that it must be made one.

That article was predicated on a Department of Justice news release on January 21 titled, “Attorney General Merrick B. Garland Delivers Remarks at the U.S. Conference of Mayors,” which provided a transcript of his remarks as they were delivered.

It is frustrating and disheartening, to say the least, that while Garland promised to provide mayors with resources from various federal agencies, there was absolutely no mention of including agencies charged with enforcing our immigration laws.

In writing my article, I called upon my 30 years of real-world experience as an INS agent. Half of those years invoked my being assigned to the Unified Intelligence Division of the DEA and my promotion to the position of Senior Special Agent and assigned to the Organized Crime, Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF), where my unique perspectives and authorities as an INS agent were invaluable to the successful investigation and prosecutions of major international drug smuggling and human trafficking organizations.

Incredibly, AG Garland abjectly ignores the way immigration law enforcement could act as a force-multiplier to combat violent crimes, including where international terrorism and transnational gangs are concerned.

The Attorney General should review 8 U.S. Code § 1324 (Bringing in and harboring certain aliens), which deems the actions of any person or organization acting as the Biden administration currently is as felonies.
