Month: July 2020

Facebook has reportedly banned all ads on behalf of Laura Loomer, the frontrunner in the GOP primary race for House candidate in Florida’s 21st district.

Loomer’s personal account is banned on Facebook, as well as on Facebook-owned Instagram, and her campaign was prevented from creating a page to reach voters on Facebook last November. Now the campaign is being banned from running ads on the platform as well.

Loomer’s most recent ad can be viewed on YouTube:

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has previously said it’s not right for “private companies to censor politicians.”

“The Laura Loomer for Congress Inc. Campaign represents more than just Laura Loomer, the candidate,” said Karen Giorno, chief strategist for the Loomer campaign and formerly the campaign manager for Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign in Florida.

The Loomer campaign, said Giorno,  “embodies a national movement, that radiates from within President Donald J. Trump’s home district, FL-21 and is made up of millions of voices from across the country. Many have become volunteers, donors and have pledged to vote for Laura Loomer in the August 18th primary and again in November to retire the radical, elitist, entrenched Democrat incumbent, Lois Frankel. ”

“This community of citizens that are Republican, Democrat and Independent are choosing to support Laura Loomer for Congress to represent them in Washington, because she embodies their values, their mores, their beliefs and their norms.  By Facebook banning Laura Loomer for Congress Campaign ads from running, they are essentially going against their own policy, and canceling millions of voices as well.”

“This is a perfect example of how Big Tech is committing blatant election interference in the form of illegal in-kind contributions to the Democrat party and their candidates in a race that is taking place in the President’s backyard.”

“As proven by the Trump 2020 re election campaign’s $47 million expenditure on Facebook this season, Facebook is a very important part of a digital campaign strategy,” said Loomer in a comment to Breitbart News.

“Jared Kushner considered Facebook advertising vital to President Trump’s historic 2016 victory.  Yet for me, I’m the only federal candidate in the nation banned from advertising on Facebook.  My competitor, Lois Frankel is running ads on Facebook to reach voters, and my campaign is shut out. That is illegal election interference.”

“Facebook is giving illegal in-kind contributions to my opponent. I demand Facebook reverse course or even the playing field by banning my competitor from advertising. If the idea of banning Lois Frankel from advertising on Facebook outrages you, you should be equally outraged over the fact that my campaign is universally deplatformed and is being denied equal access to run ads on Facebook.”

When Jeffrey Epstein, the renowned financial maven and friend to the rich and powerful, was arrested for underage sex-trafficking, I knew that his days on the planet were numbered.  Epstein simply knew too much to live.

What undoubtedly happened was that a lot of money changed hands, deals were made, prison guards and possibly their superiors were bought, cameras were surreptitiously disabled, and Epstein’s murder was declared a suicide by bedsheet, an official conclusion that exactly zero people bought.

And now that Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s pal, paramour, and fellow pervert, is behind bars for her part in the sex scandal, her eventual “suicide” is a certainty.  We’ll never know exactly what went on between Epstein and his famous friends.

Did Epstein and Woody Allen discuss Manhattan, Allen’s ode to sex with a 16-year-old?  Did Jeff and former president Clinton talk about bjs in the Oval Office?  How about the esteemed lawyer Alan Dershowitz?  Did he and Jeff discuss legal strategies?  We’ll never know.

Whatever Epstein and Kevin Spacey discussed, I’d rather not know.

No, the powerful will be protected.  Ghislaine Maxwell must die.  But how will she do it?

I assume that your average inmate has access to dental hygiene products.  Will Ghislaine stab herself to death with her toothbrush, hara-kiri à la Sonicare?  Or possibly strangle herself with dental floss?  Glide floss is amazingly strong.  You can floss your entire mouth with one piece without it breaking.

Anything’s possible, really.  Maxwell might break her neck practicing yoga; downward dog does carry certain risks.  Or she may contract rabies from a prison rat — that was placed in her cell.  Let’s face it: we don’t know how Ghislaine will commit “suicide,” only that she will.

And then all the usual suspects will tut-tut about the lack of supervision, official investigations will find no wrongdoing, and certain folks’ bank accounts will suddenly grow fat.  Most important, certain people will breathe a big sigh of relief.

I put the over-under on Maxwell’s demise at two weeks, but do check the Vegas odds before laying down your money.

And say a prayer for Ghislaine.  She surely knows what’s coming and is probably terrified — terrified not only by her imminent death, but also by her appearance in God’s Court.  Unlike on Earth, divine justice will simply not be denied.

President Trump delivered the speech of his presidency at Mount Rushmore Friday, a magnificent affirmation to Americans on their 244th national birthday that what they have always cherished is still cherished, along with a warning shot to those who hate and despise all the United States stands for. It was non-partisan — there was no mention of Democrats or Joe Biden. It was inclusive – celebratory of people of all races, and celebratory in particular of the singularity of America being great for such diversity. It was also big-hearted, magnanimous, celebrating all the ranges achievements of the country. Yet it also did the thing Trump does best, which is to call out and identify authentic enemies, stating that he knows who they are, what their game is, and that he won’t let them win. In this era that was necessary shadow.

Trump began by restating the entire meaning of the holiday:

Our founders launched not only a revolution in government, but a revolution in the pursuit of justice, equality, liberty, and prosperity. No nation has done more to advance the human condition than the United States of America and no people have done more to promote human progress than the citizens of our great nation. It was all made possible by the courage of 56 patriots who gathered in Philadelphia 244 years ago and signed the Declaration of Independence. They enshrined a divine truth that changed the world forever when they said, “All men are created equal.” These immortal words set in motion the unstoppable march of freedom. Our founders boldly declared that we are all endowed with the same divine rights, given us by our Creator in Heaven, and that which God has given us, we will allow no one ever to take away ever.

He then delved into an especially wonderful appreciation of America’s presidents on Mount Rushmore, the memory of which has apparently grown so forgotten in the wokester educational world that it became fresh and new as Trump spoke of it, beginning with George Washington:

Before these figures were immortalized in stone, they were American giants in full flesh and blood, gallant men, whose intrepid deeds unleashed the greatest leap of human advancement the world has ever known. Tonight I will tell you and most importantly the youth of our nation the true stories of these great, great men. From head to toe George Washington represented the strength, grace, and dignity of the American people. From a small volunteer force of citizen farmers, he created the Continental Army out of nothing and rallied them to stand against the most powerful military on earth. Through eight long years, through the brutal winter at Valley Forge, through setback after setback on the field of battle, he led those patriots to ultimate triumph. When the army had dwindled to a few thousand men at Christmas of 1776, when defeat seemed absolutely certain, he took what remained of his forces on a daring nighttime crossing of the Delaware River. They marched through nine miles of frigid darkness, many without boots on their feet, leaving a trail of blood in the snow. In the morning, they seized victory at Trenton after forcing the surrender of the most powerful empire on the planet at Yorktown, General Washington did not claim power but simply returned to Mount Vernon as a private citizen.

When called upon again, he presided over the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia and was unanimously elected our first president. When he stepped down after two terms, his former adversary, King George called him the greatest man of the age. He remains first in our hearts to this day, for as long as Americans love this land, we will honor and cherish the father of our country, George Washington. He will never be removed, abolished, and most of all, he will never be forgotten. 

Since this sort of thing is no longer taught in schools, it was a stellar reminder. Yet he didn’t stop at the four presidents depicted – he did what he always does which is celebrate the heroic people from all walks of life – Clara Barton, the Tuskegee Airmen, Wild Bill Hickok, Alan Shepard, Elvis Presley, Harriet Tubman – an amazing and wonderful array.

Even the mild #neverTrumps, such as Rich Lowry, were impressed.

Here’s the full transcript, with broken up little videos of the different passages.

Yet in the midst of that, that reminder of what made America great — something that was common knowledge in the pre-COVID, pre-wokester era – the New York Times could only call the speech ‘dark and divisive’ and express its deep upset that Trump didn’t spend his Fourth of July speech at Mount Rushmore talking about the coronavirus instead. Here’s the paper of record’s funhouse mirror take:

The paper was especially upset that he called out ‘far-left fascism.’ Apparently any rejection of looters, rioters, cancel culture, and all the cultural rot in our educational system is ‘divisive’ and these miscreants just wanted to be included, and not including them hurt their feelings.

Nope, not in the real world it didn’t. Some of them probably took it as a compliment. But divisive it was not, given that they’re the ones doing the rejecting by their outrageous acts and dirty libels. And as for dark, yes, dark on the dark forces because they are encroaching right now, toppling our statues, targeting our museums, erasing our history, yet the lion’s share of the speech was devoted to light and praise for the things Trump is passionate about, which is all the people and institutions that make America great. It was a speech loaded with uplift for everyone except those who hate the place.

The Times wasn’t the only one seeing ‘dark and divisive’ - here’s longtime AP guy, turned Atlantic essayist Ron Fournier with a cynical take:

Here’s CNN’s self-beclowning bid to appear woke:

Ted Cruz easily took down this CNN pinhead:

Here’s more seething:

Here’s a nakedly partisan canard, long discredited, from someone who’d rather take ‘patriotism’ lessons from Antifa:

The hypocrisy was palpable.

Lowry pointed out the Times’ double standard:

Here’s more double standard: Mount Rushmore was considered a wonderful place when President Obama visited – and marveled at the sculptures, and when Bernie Sanders visited, and also was impressed.

Now Mount Rushmore itself is being reviled because President Trump is visiting it:

It’s all a sputtering sheet show from the press and its political allies who sense danger to their position. Yet it’s also disgraceful. Here Trump was, offering them all a golden opportunity to dissociate themselves from the fascist left, and embrace the things they have always embraced – America’s singularity, its heroes, its achievements – and they’d rather sit in the mud and take potshots at Trump and even Mount Rushmore, just because President Trump went there. They’re crazed with their hatred of Trump and it makes them hate the entire country as a result. Voters should remember this in November.

President Donald Trump will hold an Independence Day celebration at Mount Rushmore on Friday evening.

A fireworks show will follow Trump’s remarks.

Trump and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R) have been ripped for not requiring masks and social distancing at the event. Activists are also protesting the existence of Mount Rushmore, saying it was built on stolen land by a KKK sympathizer, and warning that the fireworks show (the first since 2009) could cause wildfires.

Tribal Leaders Want Mount Rushmore Removed:

Former White House Physician Dr. Ronny Jackson told The Kyle Olson Show that former Vice President Joe Biden needs to take a cognitive assessment and release the results, but that his campaign won’t let that happen.

“I’m not comfortable with him being my president,” Jackson said.

“I think he’s got some cognitive issues,” he continued, before adding that he’s not diagnosing the former vice president and has not examined him.

“But as a concerned American who also happens to be a physician, I’m just going to say it’s concerning to me that he sometimes is not able to complete a sentence, not really know where he’s at or what he’s doing and we’ve seen that countless times now,” Jackson said.

After saying some age “more gracefully” than others, he said, “If he was going to be president someday, that window seems to have closed in my mind.”

Jackson, who was White House Physician during both the Barack Obama and Donald Trump administrations, gave the Montreal Cognitive Assessment to President Trump in 2018 at the President’s request, so Trump could quell criticisms from his foes that he was mental unfit.

“The President didn’t have anything to hide,” Jackson told The Kyle Olson Show, so he consented to the assessment.

“I knew he was cognitively intact,” he said, so he didn’t worry about what the results might be.

“It’s never been done for a president before,” Jackson said, “obviously no president has ever had any cognitive testing done.”

Jackson said he delivered the results to the White House Press Corps. during a lengthy briefing, and he said the room was packed with medical experts and correspondents.

“They were obviously there that day as assassins to bring me down and undermine the President’s physical,” he recalled.

The press were unsuccessful in doing that, he said, and now they can’t bring up Trump’s mental fitness to be President with Biden as the presumptive Democrat nominee.

Jackson now thinks Biden’s “crazy comments” warrant him taking the same test.

The doctor cited Biden’s regular brain freezes, confusion over his physical location and office he’s seeking as reasons to do so.

“I want my President, my Commander-in-Chief, my head of state to be a little bit sharper mentally than Joe Biden currently is,” Jackson said.

“Maybe he would have been fine ten years ago, but I legitimately think Joe Biden’s window … has closed,” he told The Kyle Olson Show.

“I think that he’s old enough now that he’s having cognitive difficulties and that just happens. It’s part of growing old,” Jackson said.

The doctor disputed Biden’s recent claim that he’s cognitively superior to Trump.

“If (Trump) goes head-to-head with Joe Biden cognitively, there just wouldn’t be much of a comparison. It would be very one-sided,” Jackson said.

He suspected that’s why Biden hasn’t been in public much lately and said he thought the Biden campaign will try to get out of the three debates they have agreed to.

“They cannot afford to put Joe Biden on the stage side-by-side with President Trump. It will be an unmitigated disaster for their party,” Jackson said.

The doctor believes Biden should take the MoCA, detailed here, because “the standard has been set and it’s been pushed by the far-left and the liberal press.”

He pointed to a group of psychiatrists who called on Trump to be examined by a “panel” of them.

Jackson said they asserted “from now on, anybody who’s considered for President of the United States should be submitted to a screening exam” by a number of psychiatrists as a way to get Trump.

“Now that they’ve got Joe Biden as their candidate, nobody is saying that. It’s crickets,” he said.

Jackson asserted Biden is “flawed on many fronts with regards to his cognitive prowess,” and Jackson is “disgusted with the double standard.”

He added those who have called on Trump to be examined should have “some urgency” in demanding the same thing for Biden.

Jackson said many people have suspicions “something’s wrong and he wouldn’t do well” on the test and that he’s “not cognitively sharp enough to be our President right now.”

He added that Biden’s campaign is “not going to let” him take it.

“They will do everything in their power to prevent that from happening. They will not let him be examined because it’s not going to be good for him,” Jackson said.

“It doesn’t take a neurosurgeon, it doesn’t take a psychiatrist to realize that Joe Biden does not possess the mental acuity right now to lead this country,” he told The Kyle Olson Show.

Watch live as President Donald Trump speaks at Mount Rushmore on Friday evening in Keystone, South Dakota. The event will be part of an Independence Day celebration, which will see the return of fireworks to the national monument for the first time in over a decade.

The president’s speech comes as protesters continue to tear down historical monuments and statues across the country, ranging from Confederate monuments, to President George Washington, to Christopher Columbus.

Now, even Mount Rushmore has been called into question. On Wednesday, the New York Times attempted to cancel the mountain in support of protesters who are demanding the removal of historic monuments.

On Friday, CNN joined the hordes of woke social justice warriors by proclaiming that the sculpture has a “dark history,” adding that the mountain will take “center stage” during the president’s speech on Friday night.

Prior to Friday night’s event, anti-Trump protesters blocked the road leading to Mount Rushmore, using cars with slashed tires, while holding signs reading, “You Are On Stolen Land” and “Sacred Sites Over National Monuments. Give It Back.”

While much of President Trump’s speech is expected to contain traditional July Fourth praise of America’s values, the president is also expected to be adding condemnation of those who topple statues and historical monuments.

The overwhelming majority of likely U.S. voters, including a majority of black Americans, oppose the tearing down of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial featuring Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, a poll finds.

While rioters, as well as some Republican and Democrat lawmakers, have sought to remove monuments, statues, and flags associated with the Civil War and the nation’s presidents, the overwhelming majority of Americans say they are opposed to such plans.

The latest Rasmussen Reports survey finds 75 percent of likely U.S. voters oppose closing or changing Mt. Rushmore in Keystone, South Dakota. Less than 20 percent said they support the removal of Mt. Rushmore.

By a 56-percent majority, black Americans said they oppose tearing down Mt. Rushmore, while only about 35 percent said they support removing the monument. Likewise, more than six-in-ten Democrats, 76 percent of swing voters, 82 percent of white Americans, and 88 percent of Republican voters said they oppose tearing down Mt. Rushmore.

The Rasmussen Reports survey also asked likely voters if they opposed or supported removing statues in honor of Presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson from public places. More than 70 percent of all likely voters said they opposed tearing down statues dedicated to the two men.

Majorities in every racial, income, age, gender, political, and educational attainment group said they oppose tearing down statues and buildings honoring Washington and Jefferson — including 54 percent of black Americans, 78 percent of white Americans, 57 percent of Democrats, 83 percent of Republicans, and 75 percent of swing voters.

For years, Americans by huge majorities have opposed a post-structuralist agenda to tear down and remake the nation’s historical monuments and statues. In a 2017 Rasmussen Reports survey, nearly 90 percent of Americans said they oppose tearing down monuments honoring former presidents.

The poll surveyed 1,000 likely U.S. voters from June 29 to 30 and has a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.
