Conservatives welcome. Libs & RINOs go away. It's all of you destroying the society and conservatives must no longer appease you!
The news media has a shaky grasp of the Constitution. It’s true the 1st Amendment promises freedom of the press, but the Constitution does not promise immunity to criticism. President Trump is free to voice his opinion of journalists.

Facebook has come under fire lately from right-leaning users for censoring and banning conservative content.
Social Media Giants are silencing millions of people. Can’t do this even if it means we must continue to hear Fake News like CNN, whose ratings have suffered gravely. People have to figure out what is real, and what is not, without censorship!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 24, 2018
Scott wrote Gateway Pundit: Facebook said the story behind the Star Spangled Banner on Youtube is spam. This is the same message Facebook is using to remove millions of conservative posts. Yes, the image is on my Facebook page – Roger Scott. I had more than a dozen posts spammed by Facebook but thought the Star Spangled Banner was the most inappropriate. Other bans included Breitbart posts.

Love him or hate him, radio show host Alex Jones has an undeniable knack for marketing. Even with tech giants targeting his Infowars empire, Jones has turned lemons into lemonade, capitalizing on what some refer to as the “Streisand Effect.”
Earlier this month, multiple platforms removed Jones’ content. According to UPI, “Google’s YouTube removed Jones’ InfoWars channel Monday after taking other action in previous months. The move followed similar decisions by Apple and Spotify, which removed Jones’ podcasts shortly before Facebook removed Jones’ fan page and the one for his radio show InfoWars on Monday.”
Twitter did not follow suit, much to the outrage of some. CEO Jack Dorsey explained in a tweet thread that Jones had not violated any rules that would allow for such a move:
We didn’t suspend Alex Jones or Infowars yesterday. We know that’s hard for many but the reason is simple: he hasn’t violated our rules. We’ll enforce if he does. And we’ll continue to promote a healthy conversational environment by ensuring tweets aren’t artificially amplified.

Anyone, tech giants included, who thought what appeared to be a coordinated effort to silence Jones would work, is in for a huge disappointment. According to data from website traffic statistics tracking site Alexa, Infowars is thriving. In fact, it is continuing to improve.

Back in October 2017, Infowars had a global rank of 3136. Its ranking in the United States was 1001.

Just days after the massive hit from social media platforms in early August 2018, Infowars’ global rating jumped to 3,513 after experiencing a major drop off in July. In the United States, its rating was even better than it had been in October, at 699:

Today, August 24, 2018, the numbers are even better. The global ranking for Infowars is 3167. And the U.S ranking is 591, which is significantly better than it was in October:

According to The Economist, when singer and actress Barbra Streisand sued in 2013 to have photos of her Malibu home removed from the California Coastal Records Project archives, she inadvertently gave birth to the “Streisand Effect.” Essentially, “trying to hide something makes it more visible.”
Her action drove scores of people to seek out the images, creating the opposite effect of what she wanted. The efforts of the tech giants to keep the public away from Jones and his content did the same thing. They created a “Streisand Effect” for Jones.
Jones has been capitalizing on the attacks, and it has been paying off for the “conspiracy theorist” who already regularly opines on the efforts of the global elite to shut down him and others who have similar views. The appearance of a coordinated attack on Jones only added to the outrage of some who are against the global elite.
But he is not alone in driving traffic to his site. Free speech advocates have also been aiding his cause, by defending his right to speak and have his platform, even if they personally disagree with him.
One example comes from television show host Bill Maher, who told his audience, “If you’re a liberal, you’re supposed to be for free speech.” He added, “That’s free speech for the speech you hate. That’s what free speech means.”
Just as with the backfiring of attacks on the NRA drove new members to join, new support for Jones has materialized, some just on principle, alone. For some, the more the left attacks a thing, the more they will push back, even if they weren’t originally customers or supporters:
I just joined the @NRA. I don’t even own a rifle, but I’m just sick to death of #Obama‘s gleeful degradation of constitutional sanctity.
— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) December 7, 2015
Chick-fil-A, the NRA and Alex Jones are just a few of the examples the left has yet to learn from. As long as they continue to attack freedom, there will always be those among us pushing back to preserve it.

In July, CNN rolled out another story using anonymous sources wherein they reported Michael Cohen claimed Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting with Veselnitskaya in advance.
Cohen told the Senate Intel Panel last year in a closed-door interview that he didn’t know about the Trump Tower meeting in advance and didn’t know whether Trump did either.
This dumpster fire of an article was published just a couple weeks after Cohen hired sewer dweller and Clinton fixer Lanny Davis to be his lawyer.
CNN said in their report that Cohen was ready to spill the beans to Mueller that Trump not only knew about the meeting with Veselnitskaya, but approved it.
Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, claims that then-candidate Trump knew in advance about the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower in which Russians were expected to offer his campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton, sources with knowledge tell CNN. Cohen is willing to make that assertion to special counsel Robert Mueller, the sources said.
CNN was giddy to report that Cohen’s information contradicted Don Jr.’s testimony and repeated denials his father knew about the meeting.
As usual, CNN was reporting fake news and curiously Lanny Davis himself confirmed to being one of the anonymous sources at the time it was published.
Lanny Davis confirmed to The New York Post that he was one of the anonymous sources and lied when he told them that CNN’s report was accurate.
Now Lanny Davis is walking back his claims and went on the record admitting he lied to the media.
Imagine our shock.
The New York Post reported:
“I regret that I wasn’t clear enough to The Post. I should have been more clear. I could not independently confirm the information in the CNN story,” he said.
“I’m sorry that I left that impression. I wasn’t at the meeting. The only person who could confirm that information is my client.”
Besides @jonathanvswan, are any other national news reporters (at NYT, WaPo, NBC, BuzzFeed, Politico, Daily Beast, CNN, etc) going to report on Lanny Davis’ Trump Tower walk-back? It was a *massive* allegation that spurred all sort of collusion talk. But it’s now been debunked.
— Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) August 24, 2018
CNN still has not retracted their fake news story.
The last time CNN screwed up this badly on a story (the Don Jr. Wikileaks story), @oliverdarcy wrote a corrective piece for CNN. On this one, there’s not a peep from the network. https://t.co/ClyxpwTbvq
— Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) August 24, 2018
Lanny Davis apologized to the @nypost for confirming a Trump Tower report that he did not know to be true.
TLDR: He lied
This further demonstrates the need for @CNN to correct their report and clarify how their sources fed them false information. https://t.co/DBMd2XZsRS

A CNN interview with White House adviser Kellyanne Conway turned into a tendentious debate when host Chris Cuomo told her that the difference between CNN and the Trump administration is “integrity.”
“Where in the [Paul] Manafort trial is Russia collusion Trump?” Conway challenged Cuomo.
“I don’t care,” Cuomo replied.
“You should care,” she responded.
“The president lied about what he knew about these women,” Cuomo said. “He should not lie to the American people, in their face, time and again. The Washington Post does a blow by blow take-through, it’s the first lie they’ve ever flagged in their fact-check.”
“Just because you are saying that, wait, I have a very simple question for you,” Conway said. “Why is it not important for you to replay and talk about the president’s own words, why don’t you show him answering that question?”
“Because he’s lying,” Cuomo said.
“No, you don’t want people to see him answer the question,” she charged.
Cuomo disagreed, and then played the tape secretly recorded by Cohen, but it was not the tape Conway wanted played.
“Yeah, he knew later on, he knew before, he’s lying!” Cuomo said emphatically about Trump’s contradictory statements about the payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
“Is that Michael Cohen and President Trump talking about …”
“You know what tape I want to hear?” Conway interjected.
Cuomo sighed in desperation.
“Excuse me, tell us what’s on the tape of Chris Cuomo and Michael Cohen?” she asked, “What’s on the two-hour tape with the two of you?”
“Tons of stuff,” he responded.
“OK, well tell us! Transparency, accountability, facts first, why?” Conway mocked.
“I’ll tell you why I can’t,” Cuomo responded, “because I’ll tell you why, because there’s a little difference you and me, and the shop you’re working for, integrity…”
“The White House? How dare you!” she exclaimed.
“You should admit he’s lying,” Cuomo fired back, “and you don’t, and that’s why people don’t trust you. That’s why, right there.
Cuomo continued to say that Cohen took steps to make sure Cuomo wasn’t recording the conversation, but then himself recorded. He added that he would not betray Cohen’s confidence even though he had kept their conversation private.
The rest of the debate descended into Cuomo and Conway interrupting each other and talking over each other.
“What is it about powerful, articulate women on TV that bother you as guests?” Conway asked at one point.
“C’mon Kellyanne, you don’t have to play cheap with me, just own what’s real,” Cuomo responded.
Michael Cohen, Trump’s former private lawyer, pleaded guilty and claimed that he violated campaign finance rules at the behest of then-candidate Trump. Many have claimed that this pushes the political pendulum towards impeachment of the president, but few Democrats are openly calling for what would be a very divisive act of Congress.

“This is a familiar story [about] the revolving door; turning public service into self service,” said Bruner. “We followed the money. We followed it to the top, and we found that these choir boys or boy scouts — as the media likes to depict them — James Comey and Robert Mueller, they’re really no better than anyone else in the swamp. They use their public service [and] their contacts and they cash in through the revolving door.”
Bruner described Lockheed Martin’s — the country’s largest national defense and security contractor — hiring of James Comey in 2005 to the dual position of general counsel and senior vice president as unusual. Comey was 44 at the time and without requisite corporate experience.
Listen to the discussions below:
Bruner added, “[James Comey] wasn’t just consulting Lockheed Martin, he was their general counsel and a senior vice president at the corporation, which begs the question, why would you choose a young James Comey? He’s got no corporate experience of that kind.”
Bruner drew on a 2012 Huffington Post article describing Next Generation identification — a proposed biometric database and facial recognition system commissioned by the FBI via Lockheed Martin — as a “billion-dollar boondoggle.” He noted that Comey “signed off” on the project as a Lockheed Martin executive and chief legal counsel in 2012, and the project’s authorization by then FBI Director Robert Mueller.
Bruner spoke of Comey’s and Mueller’s complementary roles in expanding “the surveillance state.”
“James Comey and Robert Mueller have this long history together going back to the nineties at the DOJ,” recalled Bruner:
They’ve been very concerned with matters relating to surveillance, especially FISA and the Patriot Act. We see repeatedly throughout the early 2000s and all the way up through today [that] Robert Mueller and James Comey wanted to “tear down the wall,” so to speak, between intelligence agencies, and had issues with what they call “the going dark problem,” where they didn’t have enough information. So they really rapidly expanded [what I describe as] “the surveillance state” which is now, of course, being used against journalists, citizens, and even now a presidential candidate.
Schweizer explained how government officials leverage their roles towards self-enrichment: “What this highlights is this problem, happens at Health and Human Services, it happens at DoD, where you have government officials, who basically, while they’re in government, create demand for their own services when they leave.”
Schweizer continued:
So in the case of Jim Comey, he goes to Lockheed Martin from the Department of Justice. At the Department of Justice, he helped establish some of these very programs that Lockheed Martin was getting contracts to implement and carry out. So he sets up these programs, who is Lockheed Martin going to look for to give a paycheck to who understands this program better than anybody else? The government official who helped put it together, and that is sort of a tried and true story in Washington, DC, and the point is, you played that clip at the beginning of James Comey talking about how sensitive he is to the appearances of doing something wrong or wrongdoing, the fact of the matter is, this is a very familiar story, unfortunately, in the swamp.
Schweizer concluded, “What Seamus shows is this pattern where, when Mueller is in the private sector and Comey is in government, there seem to be contracts and resources that flow in that direction, as well. It’s kind of a tag team arrangement that these two have. It speaks to the financial underbelly that exists even at the Department of Justice. … There are lots of ways in which these officials self-enrich themselves.”

A democratic socialist candidate identifying publicly as a Jewish immigrant was actually born in Miami and was a devout Christian campus leader until only a few years ago.
Julia Salazar is a Democratic community activist running for New York State Senate. Before running for office, she cut her teeth as a Jewish anti-Zionist, writing articles critical of Israel for left-wing sites like Mondoweiss and serving as senior editor for a blog affiliated with the pro-BDS Jewish Voice for Peace.
According to a profile by Jewish magazine Forward, Salazar has "a unique Jewish background. She was born in Colombia, and her father was Jewish, descended from the community expelled from medieval Spain. When her family immigrated to the United States, they had little contact with the American Jewish community, struggling to establish themselves financially."
A 2014 post by Salazar likewise strongly suggested a Jewish upbringing. "Like most American Jews, I was raised with the delusion that Israel was a safe haven for me, perhaps even the only safe place for Jews," she wrote.
But Tablet reports that Salazar’s brother told them in an interview both he and his sister were born in Miami, and their father was not Jewish. "There was nobody in our immediate family who was Jewish… my father was not Jewish, we were not raised Jewish," he said.
Tablet also found a funeral posting that showed that the elder Salazar’s funeral service was held at a Catholic church, and that public records showed he resided in Miami for a decade before Julia was born.
As late as 2013, Salazar was also a pro-life, pro-Israel Christian and the leader of several Christian groups at Colombia University. She even appeared on The Glenn Beck Show as a campus leader of Christians United for Israel. By 2014, she had apparently converted to Judaism and became vocally anti-Israel after a visit to the West Bank.
After publication, Salazar replied on social media that the piece was wrong, saying she was Jewish despite not being raised religious, and that she does not present herself as an immigrant.
Hi. You could just @ me next time if you were genuinely curious about this. To every reporter who’s ever asked, to every person, I have always said that I was not raised religious, that I didn’t have a bat mitzvah, that *I am* Jewish, but never would claim that my big brother is.
— Julia Salazar (@JuliaCarmel__) August 24, 2018
It really bends over backwards to try to put words in my mouth, instead of seeking to understand that my US-born mother and Colombian-born father had two different kids and raised us between two different places. I don’t present myself as an immigrant nor as a non-citizen.
— Julia Salazar (@JuliaCarmel__) August 24, 2018
In fact, Salazar’s own campaign website reads, "As a proud immigrant myself, I know how important it is to protect the rights of immigrants and ensure that everyone can fully participate in the life of New York State without threat or persecution."
In an interview with socialist magazine Jacobin, Salazar likewise claimed that "My family immigrated to the US from Colombia when I was a baby."

This week, a faction of Los Zetas called Cartel Del Noreste (CDN) and the Gulf Cartel went to war in Los Guerras, Tamaulipas, immediately south of the border from Starr County, Texas. Los Guerras is a short distance from Miguel Aleman, Tamaulipas, one of the main crossing points used by the Gulf Cartel to move people and drugs into Roma, Texas. The region south of Starr County, Texas, is commonly known as “La Ribereña” as a reference to the Rio Grande.
While authorities have not released any official information, law enforcement sources revealed to Breitbart Texas that the most intense fighting took place in the early morning hours of Tuesday along rural dirt roads, where convoys of gunmen from both groups clashed. The number of casualties remains unclear, however, residents reported hearing gunfire for close to four hours in one of the clashes. During the fighting, cartel gunmen used “mounstros” or “monsters,” a term referring to the makeshift armored vehicles gunmen use to move in battle. Mexican authorities found some of the vehicles along dirt roads. Some had bloodstains on them, while others were burned out.
The area near Los Guerra is considered a border of sorts with the CDN to the west and the Gulf Cartel on the east. The new violence comes at a time when the Gulf Cartel spent over a year in a fierce internal war where factions from the border city of Reynosa fought with the splinter from Matamoros over territorial control. In a similar fashion, the CDN has been at war with another group of Los Zetas called “Vieja Escuela.”
Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas’ Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by “A.C. Del Angel” from Tamaulipas.

Craig confirms all of James’s worst suspicions about the pointlessness of (most) further education. And if you think it is bad in the U.S., wait until you hear how much worse it is in the U.K.: Mickey Mouse degree courses at third-rate universities with huge dropout rates – all ultimately serviced by the hapless taxpayer.
Then there are those poor kids who leave even more stupid than when they arrived – indoctrinated by a toxic mix of post-modernism and neo-Marxism, which turns them into cry-bully unemployables with a huge sense of entitlement but no obvious qualifications for the world of work.
