Month: July 2020

In an exclusive comment to The Gateway Pundit, an inaccurate account by Howard Fineman and another smear from the Washington Post, two noted proponents of the Mueller witch-hunt and part of the coup effort to overthrow President Trump, has drawn a strong rebuke from Trump advisor Roger Stone.

Fineman alleges that Stone helped Trump cover up for some imagined crime by President Trump. The deranged leftist journalist’s twitter is littered with hate for both President Trump and his longtime friend Roger Stone, who’s sentence to nearly 4-years in prison, by a corrupt Obama-appointed judge and all Democrat DC jury,  President Trump bravely and courageously decided to commute.

“I have made clear repeatedly that I would never bear false witness against President Trump. The media have disingenuously and shamelessly spun my comments regarding my refusal to do so to suit their own agenda. Howard Fineman’s reporting in particular is based solely on his own twisted version of my words. At no time did I imply that I knew of misconduct on the President’s part or that I remained silent regarding misconduct in return for an act of clemency. That is not true.”

Since Stone’s commutation, the left-wing media and Democrats have launched an aggressive attack on President Trump and Stone, insisting that both be charged with new imaginary crimes and dragged before extremely biased grand juries.

“It was not a revelation that Mueller was trying to get to the President through other people. Dozens of witnesses have said so. In fact, during a March 14th, 2019 trip to D.C., A.U.S.A. Jeannie Rhee asked to see my counsel at the U.S. Attorney’s office where she informed them that the prosecutors wanted me to cooperate with the Muller investigation by providing evidence that I communicated with the Russians to help the Trump campaign win the 2016 election. In return they would have provided me with unspecified leniency. I would not lie to fit their narrative. Thus I refused to bear false witness against the President. I have said this repeatedly and it has been widely reported which is why I said the President is aware of it.”

Unlike many others surrounding Trump, like his former attorney Michael Cohen, Stone never bended to the demented will of the hyper-partisan Mueller hit-squad of politically motivated prosecutors and investigators. Despite the loss of his life-savings, health insurance, home, and the safety of his family and friends… Stone courageously refused to agree to bear false witness against President Trump.

Even though Mueller’s team had nearly three years to prove their case, this new effort to launch another investigation into Stone and Trump confirms that they never had any evidence or documentation to back up their claims of Russian-collusion or wrong-doing in the 2016 election from the get.

“Mueller with full subpoena power examined all of my emails, text messages, and phone calls, as well as all of my records and found no evidence to support this claim by Mr. Fineman. If the case were otherwise, they would have charged me accordingly and the Mueller Report would have highlighted that. Even when unredacted, the Mueller Report does not make this claim against either the President or me.”

Concern over mail-in balloting is rising as the presidential election approaches. Last month, we highlighted California Governor Gavin Newsom’s brazen mail-in ballot scam: an executive order mandating mail-in ballots “to preserve public health in the face of the threat of Covid-19.” Judicial Watch challenged the executive order in federal court, prompting the state legislature to pass a law ensuring that mail-in balloting would take place.

The Washington Redskins have bigger problems than their team name.

Rumors have swirled all week that The Washington Post is set to publish an exposé on the team, which reportedly will contain numerous bombshells. But the internet can’t wait: Speculation hit full boil on Thursday, prompting a few stories to boot (for the record: we don’t know a thing and are just passing along all the speculation.)

“Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder faces sex trafficking allegations; Internet says, ‘He was on Epstein’s list,’” Meaww.com wrote.

National Football League team Washington Redskins’ majority owner Daniel Snyder has found himself in trouble yet again and this time it’s allegedly for sex trafficking. The minority shareholders are apparently looking at bringing him down citing inappropriate and unchaste behavior as one of the major reasons…

“… users on the internet wondered if the article would be about his alleged involvement in sex trafficking as one user wrote, “Dan Snyder was sex trafficking? Yeah I knew he was an unlikeable ass but I didn’t think it would be that extreme. My god.” Another added, “Dan Snyder. The Washington Redskins owner is getting popped for sex trafficking. He was on Epstein’s list too.”

Floating around somewhere out there is a list of people who had flown on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, dubbed the Lolita Express. Prince Andrew flew on a Epstein and his alleged 17-year-old sex slave Virginia Roberts, the pilot has claimed. Bill Clinton did, too, either a couple times or a lot (logs suggest Clinton took at least 26 trips on the private vessel between 2001 to 2003, but his top aides say not true). Disgraced actor Kevin Spacey flew on the plane, as did comedian Chris Tucker and famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz.

“Dan Snyder ousted by scandal?” CalvinAyre.com wrote.

Dan Snyder started to trend on Twitter on Thursday morning, and those deep into the team’s gossip have some suspicion as to why. Rumors have it that the Washington Post is working on a piece that will expose a huge scandal that could force Snyder into selling the team … The Washington football scene, both on Twitter and Reddit, is going wild with speculation. What could be a scandal big enough that could force Snyder out? Drugs? Mismanagement of funds? Player harassment?

Meaww.com noted that Snyder is no stranger to controversy.

Daniel had been at the center of similar controversies back in the day when the Redskins cheerleaders were sent off to Costa Rica for a week-long trip that included topless photoshoots. In a Times story, several unnamed girls shared detailed accounts of what went down at the resort they were put up in. This was followed by a spate of accusations against the Redskins’ management team that they were pimping out cheerleaders to male sponsors and suite holders. “At one of my friend’s shoots, we were basically standing around her like a human barricade because she was basically naked, so we could keep the guys from seeing her,” a cheerleader told Times.

Bodies are already falling all over the FedEx field. The Redskins fired Director of Pro Personnel Alex Santos and Assistant Director of Pro Personnel Richard Mann II, who allegedly will be named in whatever mess The Post reveals. Chief Content Officer and “voice of the Redskins” Larry Michael also suddenly announced his retirement on Wednesday after 16+ years with the club.

Twitter was abuzz with speculation. “They pimped out their cheerleaders to season ticket holders while holding their passports from them in a foreign country and nothing happened to Dan Snyder. The dude is made of Teflon. I’ll believe that he’ll be forced to sell the team when I see it actually happen,” one user wrote.

There is much more going on at Redskins Park than a name change.

I’m told by a source there will be some more news that comes out tomorrow other than the name change.

And it’s not good.

I did not get specifics, but get ready people.

And one other rumor: The Washington Post is owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos. Should Snyder be ousted, Bezos could well buy the team — with his walking-around money. Food for thought.

Twitter was rocked by a massive “security incident” yesterday, and in its wake purported blacklisting tools may have been exposed.
Big Tech’s infamous lack of transparency has outraged leaders on both sides of politics, but the  incident appears to have blown the platform wide open. “A Twitter insider was responsible for a wave of high profile account takeovers on Wednesday, according to leaked screenshots obtained by Motherboard and two sources who took over accounts,” Vice Motherboard summarized July 15. 
Screenshots were revealed of the various buttons Twitter moderators purportedly have access to, including: “Trends Blacklist” and “Search Blacklist.” Critics have asked if this is proof Twitter indeed has the capability to shadowban users.
ReclaimTheNet observed that what these blacklist buttons reveal, while alarming, is not a surprise to those who have watched Twitter’s clear descent into liberal partisanship. 
ReclaimTheNet reported that Twitter had made shadowbanning functionally part of its Terms of Service and recounted how “undercover video from a January 2018 Project Veritas report shows a former Twitter engineer discussing the tactic almost two years before it was added to the terms.”
ReclaimTheNet quoted Twitter engineer, Abhinov Vadrevu’s comment from the aforementioned Project Veritas report that “One strategy is to shadowban so that you have ultimate control.” The same video also allegedly featured former Twitter executive Olinda Hassan stating: “It’s something we’re working on. We’re trying to get the sh*tty people not to show up. It’s a product thing we’re working on.”
Twitter’s latest Terms of Service indeed state that “We may also remove or refuse to distribute any Content on the Services, limit distribution or visibility of any Content on the service, suspend or terminate users, and reclaim usernames without liability to you.”
Vice Motherboard Editor-in-Chief Jason Koebler alleged that “Twitter just locked my account and made me delete a tweet about how this hack worked.” Koebler later added:
Earlier, Twitter told us that it was only locking accounts that posted private personal information. The screenshot I tweeted has no personal information in it and was censored, it just shows how an internal Twitter tool.
Free speech YouTuber Tim Pool commented in response to the apparent cyberattack, suggesting that Twitter’s will and ability to censor conservatives is now a proven “fact”:
I don’t get why anyone bothers arguing about social media bias against conservatives, its a fact
Twitter’s best response to me last year was “thank you for the feedback”
Now we can see in the leaked screenshots they seemingly do shadowban and black list people.
Pool later posted a 2018 screenshot of Legal, Policy and Trust & Safety Lead Vijaya Gadde and Twitter product lead Kayvon Beykpour denying that Twitter shadowbans users. 
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) promptly sent an open letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey demanding he “give the public an accounting of how much of their personal info you lost today.”
High-profile accounts including “Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Uber, and Apple” were allegedly compromised as a result of the incident and “tweeted cryptocurrency scams in an apparent hack.” 
Conservatives are under attack. Contact Twitter’s leadership by tweeting at the official @Twitter account and demand that the platform provide transparency: Companies need to design open systems so that they can be held accountable, while giving weight to privacy concerns. If you have been censored, contact us at the Media Research Center contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

On December 17, 2014, Rebecca Taylor received a call from the school nurse in her daughter Scarlet’s Tacoma, Washington, school saying that Scarlet had a fever and Rebecca should pick her up. Two days later, and after just four hours of being in the hospital from what should have been a routine flu in an otherwise healthy child, Scarlet was dead.

While this was a rare tragic story, it’s less rare than parallel stories of COVID-19, yet nobody ever thought to shut schools during the flu season.

Adam Ratner, an NYU physician of pediatric infectious disease, noted that so far this season he has had young patients who have developed life-threatening pneumonias and needed surgeries to drain abscesses in their chests — and most of these children were perfectly healthy before they got the flu.

That is a quote from a CNN article on January 7 about the deadliness of the flu season to children in a year when the seasonal flu killed 174 school-age children. Yet, like most facts that can be gleaned through extensive research online, if it’s not published incessantly in daily headline news and obsessed about by the media-political complex, people don’t know about it. And if they don’t know about it, they are not scared of it.

The reality is that every flu season, many more children die from this common ailment than have from COVID-19. And unlike with COVID-19, where the rare pediatric deaths are among those who have serious conditions, many of the flu deaths occur in perfectly healthy children. According to the CDC, “influenza is dangerous to children,” and during the 2017-2018 flu season, which everyone forgets was considered a pandemic, the federal agency estimates that the actual number of pediatric deaths was closer to 600.

A 2018 CDC study of six flu seasons concluded that half of flu-related deaths occurred in otherwise healthy children, 22% of whom were fully vaccinated. Thus, even with a vaccine, the flu is still much more deadly for children, especially perfectly healthy children.

Just how scary is the flu to children, if we were to apply the same lack of context and perspective as we do with this virus? Perfectly healthy children could die so quickly, the parents don’t even see it coming. From the 2018 CDC study:

Nearly two-thirds of children died within seven days of developing symptoms. Over one-third died at home or in the emergency department prior to hospital admission. In fact, children without other medical conditions that would predispose them to serious flu complications were more likely to die before hospital admission.

Moreover, other kids get seriously ill and develop side effects, such as blindness. One four-year -old girl in Iowa was left blind by the flu this past season. Even those who suffer no serious consequences are often bedridden for a week or longer with high fever, muscle ache, and incessant coughing, unlike with COVID-19, where almost every child who develops it is asymptomatic or very mildly symptomatic.

Thus, if we are going to limit or modify or schooling and mandate that kids wear suffocating masks all day, shouldn’t this be done every year from November to April – by a factor of 10? And given that the flu does linger for all months of the year at least at the threat level of COVID-19 to children during the off months, if schools are closed for COVID-19, shouldn’t they always be closed because of the flu?

In other words, if you give me control of the media and medical academia for a month, I will have every parent in America easily convinced that children must be locked down forever. If the threat level of COVID-19 to children is the new threshold for shutdown, we are done as a civilization, even if this particular virus becomes extinct tomorrow. Remember, unlike with this virus, where children barely contribute to community spread, with the flu, children contribute substantially to the spread and pick it up most often from other kids in school.

This is a glimpse into the context and perspective that is lacking in the hyper-focus on the worst outcomes in any group of people in a country this size.

Just consider the statement from California Superintendent of Instruction Tony Thurmond. “I do think that, if school had to open tomorrow, most of our districts would open in distance learning,” he said during a briefing earlier this week as county governments in L.A. and San Diego closed schools in September. “And that is a decision that I think is a good decision if conditions don’t change.”

If conditions don’t change? Not a single child has died of COVID-19 in the state of California. Not one in this state of 40 million people. Kids are not only more likely to die of the flu, but are more likely to die in a car crash on the way to school or in a playground accident at school.

Also, consider the fact that they are insinuating that schools can’t return to normal until there is a vaccine. Well, when was the last time we had a foolproof vaccine for a respiratory virus? Notice how the flu is much more dangerous for children than COVID-19, even though there already is a vaccine. According to the California Department of Public Health’s Influenza Surveillance Report, there were 187 reported ICU and fatal cases of the flu among children during the 2017-2018 season. Among those cases with available influenza vaccination information (120 cases), 61 (50.8%) received the 2017–2018 influenza vaccine.

Not only does that show the flu is more deadly, but it also demonstrates that even once we get a vaccine for a respiratory virus, they are often not nearly as foolproof as other vaccines. Thus, if zero pediatric deaths in California is too much of a risk to assume, then a half-baked vaccine won’t exactly matter.

Finally, we already know that children almost always get the virus from adults and that the primary location for transmission is at home. So, if we are really concerned about an infinitesimal degree of risk to children, who’s to say that school closures would mitigate that degree of risk? As a Johns Hopkins analysis of mass quarantine in 2006, which was co-authored by famed smallpox eradicator D.A. Henderson, noted, “When schools closed for a winter holiday during the 1918 pandemic in Chicago, ‘more influenza cases developed among pupils . . . than when schools were in session.’”

What is truly driving the agenda to close schools?

A statue of Jesus Christ has been decapitated at a Florida church, as a wave of vandalism and arson at churches continues across the nation.

Archbishop Thomas Wenski is requesting that the vandalism be investigated as a hate crime.

The statue at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Southwest Miami-Dade was found vandalized and knocked from its pedestal on July 15.

“This incident has saddened the parish community,” Good Shepherd said in a statement. “It is too soon to arrive to any conclusion, but we have seen other churches vandalized around the country.  We totally ‘condemn’ this action. We invite our community to pray for peace.”

The police are now investigating and the church has hired an overnight security guard.

“Archbishop Thomas Wenski is requesting this investigation be considered a hate crime,” Mary Ross Agosta, director of communications for the Archdiocese of Miami told Fox News. “The statue, located outside the church, was on private and sacred property.”

This is just one of many attacks on churches, primarily Catholic, over the past week.

In Tennessee, a statue of the Virgin Mary was also decapitated. The head remains missing.

Another statue of the Virgin Mary was vandalized in Boston.

“We don’t know if this was the targeted desecration of a sacred statue and our Catholic faith, or some kind of misguided prank, but it hurts,” Jim Wogan, director of communications for the Diocese of Knoxville, said in a statement. “For whatever reason, we are living in a very chaotic time, and anger seems to be the default setting for people.”

Three churches have also burned across the nation.

A fire destroyed Faith Tabernacle Pentecostal Church in Elkmont, Alabama Friday night.

On Saturday a man drove into a church in Ocala, Florida, before lighting it on fire.

Next, a fire destroyed the roof of 249-Year-Old San Gabriel Mission Church in California.

If these attacks were happening to any other faith it would be headline news for weeks.
