Bozell, Conservative Leaders Demand Answers From Google CEO After Blacklisting

RESTON, Va. — On Monday, Media Research Center Founder and President Brent Bozell and the MRC’s Free Speech Alliance released an open letter to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai ahead of Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee and the Antitrust Subcommittee hearing featuring Pichai, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
The letter comes less than a week after major MRC’s major sites (including NewsBusters) and other conservative platforms were blacklisted from Google’s search results.
The full text of the letter can be found below:
July 27, 2020
Mr. Sundar Pichai
Chief Executive Officer at Alphabet
1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 USA
Dear Mr. Pichai,
This past Wednesday July 21, several conservative media platforms, including three of Media Research Center’s (MRC) major sites, were removed from Google’s search results. Google’s official response was that this was the result of a technical glitch. 
We don’t believe you. 
We believe Google is lying yet again. It’s the same old game. Censor conservatives, wait for someone else to call you out on it, then blame the algorithms or another technical problem for the censorship. Somehow you never manage to discover your own glitch. It’s always your victims who do. Your approach to this scandal is one of an utter lack of transparency and has become second nature to you and your organization. It’s not merely shameful, it’s a clear and present danger to our civil society. You need to answer for this.
Who at Google was responsible for this latest instance of deliberate censorship against conservatives?
Why did they do it?
What are you doing about your employees who did this and who are trying to undermine our democratic process?
What information are you going to provide to both Congress and those impacted to show what actually happened?
How many more times will Google censor conservatives, and then lie about it before Congress has to take action against your company? The time has passed for lame excuses. If you won’t be honest and fix the problem, then Congress must act decisively to counter the threat to freedom of speech from you and other Big Tech companies. It’s time for the federal government to consider antitrust solutions for companies like Google and the rest of the Big Tech industry that have grown too powerful and too irresponsible.
Your claims that Google is neutral, while your company continues to censor conservatives deliberately and deceptively, are simply not credible.
On Wednesday, July 29, you are appearing before the The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust. Google deliberately censors conservatives. We dare you to deny that under oath.

L. Brent Bozell III

‘Get The Hell Outta The Country!’ Mike Ditka TORCHES Pro Sports Anthem Kneelers

While professional sports leagues have taken it upon themselves to shove a giant middle finger in the faces of American sports fans, one NFL legend is standing up for freedom and the American flag on the pitch.
Over the weekend, all time great Mike Ditka brutalized the latest wave of anti-American flag/anti-national anthem protests that have swept several American sports leagues in the last couple of years. He expressed his frustration for a movement devoted to berating U.S. law enforcement over myths of “systemic racism,” advising that professional anthem kneelers should simply get out. 
Yeah, considering all the chaos that has happened since the death of George Floyd, we’re about as exasperated too. 
After Major League Baseball swung for the social justice fences with their high profile Black Lives Matter kneeling display during the season opener last week, and the Boston Red Sox’s painting of a massive Black Lives Matter sign outside Fenway Park (which came colored in charming jet black, might we add,) the hall of famer made an impassioned address to the idiots who want to cram all this America-hating down sports fans’ throats.
“If you can’t respect our national anthem, get the hell out of the country,” the Super Bowl winning player and coach told TMZ Sports June 26 on a livestream video from his living room. “That’s the way I feel. Of course, I’m old fashioned so I’m only going to say what I feel,” the NFL legend added. 
Though before you all get on the case of the “old-fashioned” 80 year-old, know that his opinion on the flag matter was prompted by TMZ’s question about his new, all-female football league. Ditka had been invited to share his thoughts on becoming the new chairman of the “X League,” an all-female tackle football organization and explained why he thought the venture was a great idea. 
“Women play every sport there is in the country, except football. So why not football? It’s a league where these women have a lot of talent or they’re very good athletes and they like to play football,” he explained. 
How’s that for “old-fashioned?” The dude’s making more strides for social justice than Antifa and BLM could shake a stolen police baton at. Now, here’s women getting some real equality. Though perhaps Ditka should just make a statement by burning a bra or throwing his wife’s rolling pins into the trash compactor along with the stars and stripes and call it a day. That’s what pop culture recognizes as true activism these days anyways.
The outlet then prompted Ditka on whether his all-female league would encourage kneeling and he gave his terse answer. He added, “I think there’s a way that you protest and there’s a way you don’t protest. You don’t protest against the flag, and you don’t protest against this country, whose given you the opportunity to make a living playing a sport you never thought would happen.” 
“I don’t want to hear all the crap,” Ditka concluded. It’s just proof that once a legend, always a legend.

Nolte: Bluecheck Forces Her Teenage Children to Live Outside, Because Pandemic


A member of Twitter’s Blue Checkmark Elite is bragging about forcing her kids to live outside to protect herself from the coronavirus.

Although she has only 5,312 followers, and only because she holds the “correct” thoughts and ideas, Twitter verified Sarah Nadav’s account. She identifies as a “behavioral Economist, Fintech Entrepreneur, Startup adviser” and is now bragging about forcing her 13-year-old and 15 year-old to live outside in a tent to protect herself from the coronavirus.

“My kids got potentially exposed to COVID-19, there is no proper room to quarantine in the house so I got creative and they are camping in the yard. Is this brilliant or ridiculous?”

Included in the tweet is a photo of the camp Mommie Dearest set up for her children, which looks like something you would see on the crowded, homeless streets of Nancy Pelosi’s congressional district.

She adds that “they pee outside … in a massive field behind the house” which sounds like trespassing and every bit as unhealthy as any virus.

She adds that she does “let the kids come in with masks on to use the bathroom,” so presumably they are not defecating outside.

Nadav admits she is taking this drastic and paranoid action (I’ll explain how paranoid in a bit) to protect herself from the virus, but that her act of self-preservation is actually on behalf of her children.

“You know,” she tweeted, “as a parent- you have an obligation to stay healthy FOR THEM. They might get a light case, but you might die. I made this decision because my kids need me to stay well for them.”

Fair enough, so why doesn’t Mommie Dearest move into the tent and pee in a field? Why isn’t Mommie Dearest making the sacrifice for the sake of the children?

Why not spring for a hotel or stay with a friend?

She says her teens’ bedroom doesn’t work “for quarantine for a number of random reasons[.]” So out you two go!

You might argue that kids love to camp. Well, sure, but not for 14 days in your own backyard… Fourteen days of sleeping outside in the heat (she lives in Tel Aviv). That gets old real fast.

Some friends of mine dealt with this after mom caught the virus. The experts told her family of four that living together was no problem as long as everyone slept in separate beds and surfaces were cleaned regularly. After 14 days, no one else got sick and mom was mostly asymptomatic.

As far as the paranoia, get this…

The kids have not been diagnosed with the coronavirus. The kids did not even come into contact with someone who has the coronavirus. No, the kids “were exposed to their Aunt, who was exposed to a 5 year old who tested positive.”

Oh, okay.

She says the kids are happy and healthy, and I believe that, but that changes nothing about how absurd this all is, especially when Mommie Dearest is probably under 50, which means the virus is no more a threat to her than the conventional flu.

But these are our hideous elites folks — anti-science, virtue-signaling lunatics who use social media to brag about their stupid and selfish behavior, complete with photographs.

Violent Seattle Protest: 59 Police Officers Injured, One Hospitalized


Fifty-nine officers have suffered a range of injuries as a result of Saturday’s violent riot in Seattle, according to the Seattle Police Department (SPD) Blotter.

Seattle Police declared a riot and arrested dozens of people on Saturday after a demonstration in the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood — a protest aimed to stand in solidarity with Portland protesters — turned violent. The protest, which saw roughly 1,000 participants, began as a march but descended into a state of anarchy, as rioters set fires, vandalized property, hurled explosives, and assaulted police officers.

According to the SPD Blotter, rioters pelted officers with “explosives, rocks, bottles, and wood,” resulting in injuries ranging from “abrasions and bruising to burns and a torn meniscus.” Fifty-nine officers were injured as a result of the violence, and at least one was hospitalized.

The police department posted bodycam footage from the violent riot, showing assailants hurling objects, including explosives, at officers:

SPD Blotter also provided a series of images of some of the officers’ injuries, as well as property damage, including a hole blown in the wall of the East Precinct:

In all, officers arrested 47 people for “assaults on officers, failure to disperse, and obstruction.”

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan (D) expressed her disapproval of President Trump sending in federal agents to quell the unrest in Democrat-run cities during a Friday appearance on CNN’s Cuomo Primetime.

“We have to assume what’s happening in Portland could happen here,” she said, speaking of Trump sending in federal agents, whom she accused of escalating violence in cities such as Portland “night after night after night”:

She said in part:

You have seen the introduction of a significant number of federal agents who night after night after night have escalated violence and have had a fight a running fight on Portland that has created there a public safety risk and has made the city — it’s incapable for them to move on and get to the healing they need and do what they need to do to make important systemic changes that people are demanding in the streets. And in Seattle we want to make sure that doesn’t happen here.

“Instead of giving us the help we need he wants to send in federal forces and federal agents to escalate tensions,” the mayor said.

“The fabric of America is being shredded before our eyes,” she added.

State-Run Chinese Company Tries To Buy Massive Resource Mine in North American Arctic

Even as China’s activities in the United States are raising fears of the communist nation’s motives, Canadian officials are raising concerns over the planned purchase of an Arctic gold mine by a state-run Chinese company. “This purchase should not go forward,” Richard Fadden, a former national security adviser to both Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau…

Murders Continue to Surge in Democrat-Controlled Cities


Murders continue to surge in Houston, Chicago, St. Louis, Atlanta, and other Democrat-controlled cities around the country.

Former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson tweeted a collection of reports on July 27, which included snippets from media outlets, police departments, and city governments. The message communicated was clear–murder is surging in Houston, Denver, Atlanta, and St. Louis.

Berenson noted that murders are also up in Los Angeles, Boston, and Miami.

The violence is raging in Chicago and New York City as well. Breitbart News reported nearly 60 shot and 3 killed over the weekend in Chicago.

The Chicago Tribune reported that 373 people were shot to death in Chicago between January 1 and July 11. That figure, after just six and a half months of 2020, means 97 more people have already been killed in Chicago this year than were killed in all of 2019.

Thirty-four people were shot and 10 killed over the weekend in NYC. The Minneapolis Start Tribune reported that more people have been killed in Minneapolis at this point in 2020 than were killed in all of 2019.

The mayor of NYC is Bill de Blasio (D) and the mayor of Minneapolis is Jacob Frey (D).

On June 29, Breitbart News reported a Washington Post column which noted that 17 of the 20 most violent cities in America have Democrat mayors. Among the top 20 cities for incidents of violent crime per 1,000 residents, 19 of them have Democrat mayors.
