HAMMER: Yes, A Palestinian State Is ‘Far More Dangerous To Israel’ Than The BDS Movement

The "Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions" (BDS) movement is a global Jew-hating endeavor that seeks to economically, diplomatically, militarily, and culturally ostracize, undermine, and (yes) destroy the world’s sole Jewish state. It is vile and evil and ought to be solemnly and unequivocally renounced by well-meaning people the world over Period.

Kyl Report: Facebook Faces Workplace Viewpoint Diversity Challenges

“Many interviewees believed that Facebook is a liberal organization with liberal employees, making interviewees skeptical that the platform’s policies are fairly written and enforced.”

The study also noted that interview subjects expressed concern about the composition of Facebook’s board of directors.

“Some interviewees specifically complained that Facebook’s Board of Directors lacks conservative members,” the report says.

While Facebook’s board skews left — its members include CEO Mark Zuckerberg — it has counted entrepreneur Peter Thiel, a supporter of President Donald Trump, among its ranks since 2005.

Facebook responded to the interim report in a separate announcement Tuesday.

“Facebook has recognized the importance of our assessment and has taken some steps to address the concerns we uncovered. But there is still significant work to be done to satisfy the concerns we heard from conservatives,” the company said.

Sen. Kyl’s report noted that in late 2018, Facebook announced its intention to create an oversight board that would review the most difficult and nuanced content decisions with independent judgment.

“Facebook has said that it will ensure that its oversight board represents a diverse range of intellectual viewpoints, as one mechanism for providing an external check on any biases that may be present internally at Facebook,” the report says.

President Donald Trump has stated that tech giants including Facebook and Google should be taken to court over allegations of bias against conservatives.

“We should be suing Google and Facebook and all that, which perhaps we will,” Trump told the Fox Business Network in June.

Fact Check: Elizabeth Warren Crowd Was 6,000 at Most, not 12,000

CLAIM: The presidential campaign of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) claims that she drew 12,000 people to a town hall meeting on the campus of Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Monday evening.

VERDICT: The crowd size was closer to 4,000, and probably 6,000 at most.

Crowd size is often seen — rightly or wrongly — as a proxy for political support. It is not always a good measure: for example, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) drew massive crowds across California in 2016, but lost the state to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by a wide margin.

Still, as the Democratic Party presidential primary heats up, the rival campaigns are touting attendance figures as a sign of momentum. That creates an incentive to exaggerate.

The Warren campaign claims 12,000 attended her town hall at Macalester. That number was repeated by HuffPost, though its source was a tweet by the Warren campaign itself.

The 12,000 figure was never independently confirmed and is probably wrong. It also fits a pattern of (modest) exaggeration by the Warren campaign in recent weeks.

Both Sanders and Warren drew large crowds in town halls across New Hampshire last week. Breitbart News was there to cover both candidates, and estimated that each drew roughly 300 to 400 people at their largest events, respectively.

What was striking was that each campaign reported its numbers differently. The Sanders campaign provided Breitbart News an exact figure of 327 people at the Littleton Opera House; the Warren campaign claimed that 700 people attended her open-air town hall on a farm in Franconia, though Breitbart News estimated “over 300 people” there.

That is still a very good turnout in a rural, mountainous area. However, it seems the Warren campaign hyped the numbers — and to good effect: the figure of 700 was widely reported throughout the mainstream media.

Similarly, the Warren campaign has claimed that 12,000 people attended the Macalester event. Breitbart News has learned that the campaign arrived at that figure by counting people who sent a text message to register for the event.

However, while local news agreed that “thousands” attended the Macalester event, the 12,000 figure seemed high.

The college’s college security staff said they could not provide a crowd estimate. So Breitbart News contacted the office in charge of facilities rental at Macalester. The Warren campaign had initially rented the Leonard Center, which holds 4,000 people. That was deemed to be too small for the event, given expected attendance. So it was moved outside, to Shaw Field — the largest field on campus, with a capacity of 3,000, plus “spillover” beyond.

It seems fair to grant the Warren campaign an attendance of at least 4,000 — i.e. more than the Leonard Center. But given the size of Shaw Field, it is difficult to believe 12,000 people attended. A generous estimate would be 6,000.

Breitbart News has reached out to fire officials in St. Paul, Minnesota, who have yet to provide a figure.

The figure of 12,000 is significant because it is the same size as the crowd President Donald Trump drew to the SNHU Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire, last Thursday (there were 11,500 in the building and 8,000 outside, fire officials confirmed). Warren’s campaign, for understandable reasons, would like people to think that she is drawing the same size crowds as Trump. It is possible that she could do so, once she has the Democratic nomination; there is certainly a great deal of energy on the Democratic side. But the figure of 12,000 is hype.

One thing is clear: Warren and Sanders are each drawing larger crowds than former vice president Joe Biden, who is leading in nationwide polls but struggles to draw an audience. One recent poll put Warren ahead in Iowa.

Facebook Plans on Using Journalists to Control Its News, Again

Ready for a handful of liberal news sources and a maybe a conservative or two? How about a computer program that chooses what stories you should read? Facebook’s upcoming “News Tab” already sounds suspect. Especially, in light of previous attempts by the company to control its news feed. Facebook “will pay dozens of publishers to license content for News Tab, and news from many more will be included.” In Axios’ exact words “A small team of journalists will pick stories for a Top News section.”

ELECTIONEERING: Facebook Pulls Another Trump Campaign Ad, This Time a “Women for Trump” Ad — Comes After Facebook Eliminated Top Pro-Trump Publishers from Their Page

Facebook removed a Women for Trump ad on Monday saying the ad violated Facebook policy.

According to Facebook and Gizmodo: “A Facebook spokesperson told Gizmodo that the ad violated a section of its policies that prohibits “content that asserts or implies personal attributes,” including “direct or indirect assertions or implications” about traits such as race, ethnicity, gender and sexual identity, religion, or financial standing.”

This follows reports in April that Facebook removed “hundreds” of Trump 2020 ads they say were in violation of policy.

In March 2018 Trump 2020 Campaign Manager warned Facebook to keep the playing field level.

In December 2018 Brad Parscale admitted in a tell-all interview with Frontline that the Trump campaign intends on spending millions on Facebook ads again in 2020 to help their candidate.  Parscale was very public about the success of the Facebook ad strategy in the 206 election.

Since that time Facebook has started removing Trump campaign ads.

And, as readers of this website know, Facbebook has eliminated traffic to ALL the top pro-Trump websites since the 2016 election.  Several of the top conservative websites from 2016 are no longer in business.  This was a well thought out strategy by Facebook after the loss of Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Facebook eliminated page views to a majority of top pro-Trump conservative publishers after the 2016 election.

In 2016 suburban voters and women would check their Facebook pages and see conservative news.  That is no longer the case.  And in November these voters chose Democrats.

Facebook continues to wipe out conservative publishers.

In early August Rush Limbaugh brought up how Facebook was censoring The Gateway Pundit page.

Via Rush Limbaugh:

I think it’s a far, far bigger threat that Google and Facebook pose because the threat is that they pose is largely invisible. They’re not on the front lines. Google is not out manning phone banks. They’re not running around town registering voters per se. What they are doing is engaging in constant human manipulation. And I think this is a situation that we’re on the verge of seeing become reality.

Now, we’ve all heard the stories about how Google and Facebook are censoring conservative content. Whole websites, whole blogospheres, individuals, and then an individual tweet. I had a friend who simply clicked on a link to the website the Gateway Pundit and Facebook sent them a warning saying that this is a dangerous site. You should monitor this site. We will be monitoring this site. You should restrict your usage of this website. Gateway Pundit. It’s a conservative blog and website that is no threat to Google or anybody.

Thank you, Rush Limbaugh!

Let’s pray the GOP and Brad Parscale take action soon against Facebook.
Before it’s too late.

How We Can Safeguard Our Election Process

In the freest nation in the world, our system of government and our
very liberty depend on free and fair elections. Whether they’re selecting a mayor
or the president of the United States, every American must be able to trust the
process, or the democratic system itself breaks down.

When someone commits voter fraud, the process is no longer fair, everyone’s
vote gets diluted, and in some cases, election results are changed.

Contrary to the claims of many on the left, voter fraud is a very real
problem. As the Supreme Court noted when it upheld Indiana’s voter ID law, flagrant
examples of voter fraud have been documented throughout this nation’s history.

The National Commission on Federal Election Reform has said that in
many close elections, fraud can absolutely change the outcome. Cases of local
elections getting overturned because of fraud have occurred in New Jersey, Indiana,
and other states.

Although hundreds of people have been convicted in recent years, voter
fraud often goes undetected. And even when it’s discovered, overburdened
prosecutors rarely prioritize these cases.

Fraudsters can steal votes and change election outcomes in several ways, including: voting in someone else’s name, registering in multiple locations to vote multiple times in the same election, voting even though they’re not eligible because they’re felons or noncitizens, or paying or intimidating people to vote for certain candidates.

Unfortunately, many on the left are attempting to make election fraud
easier by fighting laws that require an ID to vote. They’ve pushed to get
noncitizens and jailed inmates to vote. And they’ve sued states that have tried
to purge their voter rolls of people registered in multiple states.

How can we fix the problem?

Since states control much of the electoral process, they must pass laws
requiring government-issued IDs to vote. That ensures people aren’t stealing others’
identities and their right to vote.

States should join voter registration cross-check programs to identify voters registered in multiple places. One cross-check program has identified hundreds of thousands of potential duplicate registrations across 30 states as well as evidence of illegal double voting.

States should also compare voter rolls with government records to
identify convicted felons and noncitizens who should be removed from the rolls.
And the federal government should cooperate with these efforts and make
Department of Homeland Security and other databases available to state
officials.

Preserving this great experiment that is America depends on having free
and fair elections where all Americans can trust the process and the results.

Something as critical as election integrity can’t be left to a simple
honor system. One of the most important roles of government is to safeguard the
electoral process and ensure that every voter’s right to cast a ballot is
protected. That not only protects our right to vote; that’s how we protect the
future of our very republic.

It was two thumbs down from the country’s critic in chief. Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s performance at the podium during her news conference Monday with Rep. Ilhan Omar had everything a television producer could be looking for: High drama; powerful women; and lots, and lots and lots of tears. But there was at least one member…

Report: DNC Chair Tom Perez to Fundraise in Mexico

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tom Perez will reportedly travel to Mexico to hold three party fundraisers with American expatriates next month.

According to Bloomberg, Perez will head up the events in Mexico City on September 28th.

The report says high-end access can cost as much as $15,000:

The events range from happy hour drinks with a $25 minimum student entry to a dinner where tickets range from $1,000 to $15,000.

The registration form on the DNC website require that attendees be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and enter passport or green card numbers. It is illegal for foreigners to contribute to American political campaigns.

DNC spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa confirmed that Perez will be holding the events.

With approximately 1.5 million American citizens residing in Mexico, per State Department figures, the trio of events could prove lucrative at a time when the DNC is being significantly outraised by the Republican National Committee (RNC).  For the month of June, Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show the RNC raised $20.8 millionspent $14.3 million and had $43.5 million in cash on hand, while its Democrat counterpart only took in $8.5 millionspent $7.5 million and had $9.3 million in cash in the bank. However, the DNC also had $5.7 million in debt.

Perez has previously courted the support of Democrats living abroad, having delivered a speech in London in April 2018.
