Attorneys File Suit for 8 Convington HS Students Against 12 Top Liberal Elite Figures Including Liz Warren and Loudmouth Ana Navarro

Attorneys Robert Barnes and Kevin Murphy filed suit for eight Covington High School students against twelve top liberal elite figures including: Liz Warren, CNN’s Ana Navarro and New York Times crank Maggie Haberman.

Law and Crime reported:

Lawyers for eight Covington Catholic students (John Does 1-8) filed a defamation lawsuit on Thursday in Kentucky’s Kenton County Circuit Court against 12 individuals — lawmakers, journalists/media figures and social media personalities included.

Attorneys Robert Barnes (disclosure: Barnes has written columns for Law&Crime) and Kevin Murphy began the suit by going back to January 18, 2019, when, they say, “A field trip to our nation’s capital for a group of minors from Covington, Kentucky turned into a social media nightmare that changed their futures forever.”

This was when MAGA hat wearing high school students (Nick Sandmann, in particular) came face to face with a 65-year-old Native American man identified as Nathan Phillips. The lawsuit said that the defendants jumped to conclusions, painting the plaintiffs as racists, lying about an event they didn’t witness firsthand, and libeling the minors. (Note that these minors are bringing this lawsuit through their parents.)

From the lawsuit:

“Several of our Senators, most-famous celebrities, and widely read journalists, collectively used their large social media platforms, perceived higher credibility and public followings to lie and libel minors they never met, based on an event they never witnessed,” the lawsuit said. “These defendants called for the kids to be named and shamed, doxxed and expelled, and invited public retaliation against these minors from a small town in Kentucky.The defendants circulated false statements about them to millions of people around the world. The video of the entire event, known to the defendants, exposed all of their factual claims against the kids as lies. The defendants were each individually offered the opportunity to correct, delete, and/or apologize for their false statements, but each refused, continuing to circulate the false statements about these children to this very day on their social media platforms they personally control.”

The defendants have been named as follows (Law&Crime is not including a copy of the lawsuit here so as not publicize their addresses): 2020 presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Rep. Deb Haaland (D-New Mexico), CNN’s Ana Navarro, Maggie Haberman of the New York Times, comedian Kathy Griffin, ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd, Reza Aslan (formerly of CNN), Kentucky entrepreneur Adam Edelen, Princeton University History Professor Kevin M. Kruse, activist and journalist Shaun King, Mother Jones editor-in-chief Clara Jeffery and Rewire.News editor-in-chief Jodi Jacobson.

Gillette CEO: $8 Billion Loss over Woke Ads ‘Worth Paying’

Gillette CEO and president Gary Coombe is defending the $8 billion write-down Procter & Gamble experienced last quarter related to his brand, saying in a recent interview that it was “worth paying” and that he doesn’t mind alienating some customers.

Coombe told Marketing Week that the loss was “a price worth paying” as the 188-year-old maker of razors, blades and other grooming products contends with dwindling sales.

“It was pretty stark. We were losing share, we were losing awareness and penetration, and something had to be done,” Coombe said. He said Gillette decided to “take a chance in an emotionally-charged way.”

Gillette debuted a commercial in January that not only spotlighted the #MeToo movement but attacked traditional masculinity. In a series of scenes, the commercial depicted men and boys engaging in sexual harassment, bullying and workplace condescension towards women.

“Is this the best a man can get?” the commercial asked, inverting Gillette’s famous tagline “the best a man can get.”

Another ad debuted in May showing a transgender male youth learning how to shave. Gillette also attacked traditional feminine beauty in ads for its Venus razors for women, featuring obese and transexual models.

The commercials received widespread pushback on social media. Coombe told Marketing Week that the backlash was more intense than he expected, but that he doesn’t regret running them.

“I don’t enjoy that some people were offended by the film and upset at the brand as a consequence. That’s not nice and goes against every ounce of training I’ve had in this industry over a third of a century,” he said.

“But I am absolutely of the view now that for the majority of people to fall more deeply in love with today’s brands you have to risk upsetting a small minority and that’s what we’ve done.”

Coombe said the ads were an attempt to capture millennial consumers, many of whom have defected to competitors like Dollar Shave Club and Harry’s.

“The worst thing during that period was, we also lost connection with the millennial generation. Gillette quickly became the brand of the millennial generation’s dads,” he said.

Gillette reported a $8 billion write-down during the recent fiscal fourth quarter, pushing its parent company Proctor & Gamble into a loss for the period.

The company blamed the loss on currency fluctuations as well as “market contraction” due to the continued fad of men growing out facial hair.

Katy Perry ordered to pay $2.7 million to Christian rap artist

As I said earlier this week, I’m not a closet Katy Perry fan. What interests me about this story is that something that almost never happens has happened. A pop star with all the money and lawyers she could want has lost a court battle to a relatively unknown artist (and his co-writers) who convinced a jury his music was stolen for her hit song. Earlier this week, a jury decided that all six of Perry’s songwriters plus the companies that distributed her music were liable. The trial then moved to a penalty phase which concluded rather quickly:

Katy Perry and her collaborators at her record label have to pay $2.78 million after a federal jury found the pop star copied one of her hit songs…

The amount fell well short of the nearly $20 million sought by attorneys for Gray and the two co-writers of “Joyful Noise” — Emanuel Lambert and Chike Ojukwu — but they said they were pleased…

Perry herself was hit for just over $550,000, with Capitol Records responsible for the biggest part of the award — $1.2 million. Defense attorneys had argued for an overall award of about $360,000.

Perry’s attorney, Christine Lepera, said they plan to vigorously fight the decision.

So expect some sort of appeal and maybe the amount will get knocked down or maybe the entire decision will be overturned. Still, for this moment it looks bad for Perry and the small army of people who prop up her career.

Of course, whether you think Perry deserves this will depend on whether you think she, or more likely her producers, actually stole part of someone else’s song. The jury didn’t prove that did happen on that it could have happened based on the popularity of the rap song in the Christian market around the time Perry’s tune was being written.

As for the similarity between the two tracks, that’s definitely there, though musicologists who testified in Perry’s defense claimed any overlap was attributable to people playing with the same basic building blocks of music. Maybe so but they really do sound a lot alike. If you want, you also click back and hear each song separately. Here’s the video I posted earlier which slows down the rap tune a bit so it matches the tempo of Perry’s song exactly. They blend really well:

Here We Go: Dems Pushing to Replace Dan Coats with Brennan BFF Sue Gordon After Ratcliffe Withdraws Nomination


Sue Gordon

All of the Deep State Democrat swamp creatures are pushing for Sue Gordon to not only sit in as the Acting DNI, but to actually replace Dan Coats and be confirmed as the next Director of National Intelligence.

Last weekend President Trump announced he nominated GOP Congressman John Ratcliffe to replace outgoing DNI Dan Coats.

The Democrat-media complex, along with RINOs attacked Ratcliffe, an honorable former US Attorney who has served in the House for many years.

Because of the nonstop attacks, Ratcliffe decided to withdraw his name from consideration and stay in Congress.

Sue Gordon is currently the number 2 at the intel agency and President Trump said he may name her as acting director of national intelligence after Ratcliffe decided to withdraw his name.

House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff on Friday said that Sue Gordon is “superbly qualified” for the job and called for her to replace Dan Coats.

Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who plotted to wear a wire to record President Trump and oust him via the 25th Amendment, jumped into the fray Friday morning and endorsed Sue Gordon.

The highly corrupt Vice Chairman of the Senate Intel Committee Mark Warner also called on Trump to name Sue Gordon as acting DNI.

That’s all we need to know about Sue Gordon — she’s the choice for the Deep State coup plotters.

Donald Trump Jr. said, “If Adam Schiff wants her in there, the rumors about her being besties with Brennan and the rest of the clown cadre must be 100% true.”

Labor Union President Blasts Democrats for Globalist Free Trade Agenda

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka blasted Democrats during a private meeting this week for their globalist free trade agenda where 2020 Democrat presidential primary candidates have continued to embrace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

During a private meeting with Democrat National Committee (DNC) members, including Chairman Tom Perez who pushed TPP while working for President Obama, Trumka blamed a coalition of elected Republicans and Democrats for the country’s entering into a multitude of free trade agreements that have gutted America’s working and middle class while outsourcing those jobs to China, the Phillippines, Vietnam, and India.

“It’s time to do better,’ Trumka said, scolding Democrat Party leaders, according to the Huffington Post. “I believe you can. I believe you will. And working people are hungry for it. But you can’t offer campaign rhetoric or count on workers’ votes simply because you have a ‘D’ next to your name.”

Trumka said Democrats can blame President Trump “all we want,” but that the GOP/Democrat coalition for a globalist-libertarian economic policy “isn’t new” and has prevailed for years under Democrat control of the House, Senate, and White House.

During the meeting, Trumka effectively begged the DNC to take a pro-worker approach to their economic agenda, though leading 2020 Democrat presidential primary candidates like former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) have vowed to end tariffs on Chinese imports and continue to support multilateral free trade.

“You need to prove that this party is the one and only party for working people,” Trumka said, according to the Huffington Post. “And recognize that unions and collective bargaining are the single best way to make this economy work for everyone.”

Trump has sought to protect and create American working and middle-class jobs by imposing tariffs on China and other foreign imports. Likewise, during his first year in office, he ended the Obama effort to enter TPP — which would have eliminated millions more U.S. jobs by allowing multinational corporations to outsource them directly to Vietnam and Malaysia.

Meanwhile, Biden has continued to defend NAFTA, which he claimed in 1993 would add American jobs to the American economy but actually helped eliminate nearly five million U.S. manufacturing jobs and resulted in the closure of nearly 50,000 U.S. manufacturing facilities. A number of American towns and small cities were left economically destroyed and have yet to recover.

During the most recent Democrat debate, Biden promised to renegotiate TPP to add more countries to the free trade agreement.

Harris committed to rolling back Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports and other foreign products, falsely claiming that tariffs are taxes on American citizens.
