Cannabis Countdown: Anxiety lingers over impact on impaired driving, organized crime and use among minors

Cannabis Countdown: Anxiety lingers over impact on impaired driving, organized crime and use among minors
With less than a month until the legalization of recreational marijuana, a new study from the Angus Reid Institute finds Canadians are three times as likely to say that measures in the law will fail rather than succeed (57% versus 17%) at preventing minors from accessing cannabis after October 17, and twice as likely to say they lack confidence in the ability of their community police to assess and punish those driving under the influence of marijuana (60% to 32%).

DISGUSTING: Open Borders Claire McCaskill Lies to Missourians on Her Immigration Record in New TV Ad — Is Against Trump Border Wall


DISGUSTING: Open Borders Claire McCaskill Lies to Missourians on Her Immigration Record in New TV Ad — Is Against Trump Border Wall

Liberal Senator Claire McCaskill is a far left hack who has NEVER disappointed the Democrat Party.
When they need a vote — Claire is there for them.
Always.

Claire McCaskill gets most of her donations from Hollywood elites.
But come election time Claire McCaskill comes back to Missouri and pretends to be one of the people.

This past week Claire McCaskill launched an ad with Border Patrol agents pretending to be tough on immigration.
This could be Claire McCaskill’s worst lie to date…

McCaskill has openly and repeatedly mocked President Trump’s border wall.
McCaskill told CBS News that Trump’s border wall is “embarrasing” and “it’s not going to happen.”

It is stunning the border patrol would throw their support behind open borders Claire McCaskill?

Here are the facts on Claire McCaskill and border security.

The Josh Howley campaign released this rebuttal to Claire’s outrageous lie!

COLUMBIA, Mo. – In a new TV ad about border security, Senator Claire McCaskill is lying to Missourians about her record.

Hawley Campaign Press Secretary Kelli Ford said, “Claire McCaskill will do anything to hold on to power, even lie to Missourians about her record on immigration. She isn’t tough on border security. She’s weak and her record proves it. She thinks the border wall is ‘embarrassing,’ has flip-flopped on sanctuary cities, refuses to ask who is and isn’t a citizen, and wants to pass catch-and-release legislation. Instead of standing for security, she stood with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.

“That record would get her re-elected in New York or California, but not Missouri, and Senator McCaskill knows it. That’s exactly why she is trying to deceive voters about her work on immigration. She has richly earned the title of the most unpopular senator on a ballot this fall because she doesn’t stand with Missouri, she only cares about opposing President Trump. And she’s willing to sacrifice our safety and security in order to make that happen.”

CLAIM VS. FACT

CLAIM: She Was One Of Only Four Democrats To Vote To End Sanctuary Cities.

FACT: McCaskill Flip-Flopped On Withholding Certain Law Enforcement Grants For Sanctuary Cities.

In February 2018, McCaskill Voted For Cloture On The Toomey Amendment That Would Make Sanctuary Cities Ineligible For Certain Federal Law Enforcement Grants. (S.Amdt. 1948 To S.Amdt. 1959 To H.R. 2579, Roll Call Vote #34: Cloture Motion Rejected 54-45, 2/15/18, McCaskill Voted Yea; CQ Summary, Accessed 2/16/18)

Previously, McCaskill Voted Twice Against Cloture On The Motion To Proceed To Bills That Would Withhold Federal Law Enforcement Grants For Sanctuary Cities:

  • In July 2016, McCaskill Voted Against Cloture On The Motion To Proceed To A Bill That Would Make Sanctuary Cities Ineligible For Certain Federal Law Enforcement Grants. (S. 3100, Roll Call Vote #119: Cloture On The Motion To Proceed Rejected 53-44, 7/6/16, McCaskill Voted Nay; CQ Summary, 7/6/16)
  • In October 2015, McCaskill Voted Against Cloture On The Motion To Proceed To A Bill That Would Withhold Certain Federal Law Enforcement Funds For Sanctuary Cities. (S. 2146, Roll Call Vote #280: Cloture On The Motion To Proceed Rejected 54-45, 10/20/15, McCaskill Voted Nay; CQ Summary, Accessed 1/15/16)

FACT: McCaskill Also Voted Against Cutting COPS Program Funding For Sanctuary Cities.

In 2007, McCaskill Voted Against The Vitter Amendment That Would Block Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Funding To Communities That Refused To Help With Federal Enforcement Of Immigration Law. (S. Amdt. 3277 To H.R. 3093, Roll Call Vote #370, Motion To Table Agreed To 52-42, 10/16/07, McCaskill Voted Yea; CQ Summary, Accessed 7/21/16)

CLAIM: [McCaskill] Votes To Secure Our Border. We Endorse President Trump And Claire McCaskill Because Of Their Records On Border Security.

FACT: McCaskill Is Not Supportive Of President Trump’s Border Wall.

  • McCaskill On Border Wall: “It’s Embarrassing. It’s Not Going To Happen.” “‘It’s embarrassing,’ McCaskill said. ‘It’s not going to happen. Everybody in Congress knows it’s not going to happen…. It appears the only person who won’t say it out loud is the president.’” (CBS News, 4/5/17)

FACT: McCaskill Opposes Asking Citizenship Status In The U.S. Census.

MCCASKILL: “I do think there’s going to be litigation over it. Yeah, California filed suit saying that it was unconstitutional because it was depressing the count. It is I believe blatantly partisan.” (Claire McCaskill, Remarks, Springfield, MO, 3/27/18)

CLAIM: Take It From Us, No Senator Is Tougher On Securing The Border Than Claire McCaskill.

FACT: McCaskill Is A Current Co-Sponsor Of Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s Open Borders Bill.

Alert: Ted Cruz, Wife Attacked — Escape After Staff Struggle With Door


In an act of “protest” that appeared to verge on a violent attack, a group of liberals drove Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and his wife out of a Washington, D.C., restaurant Monday, the New York Post reports.

The protest was ostensibly about federal Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, and most of the verbal attacks seemed to be directed toward that. Footage of the attack, posted by a group calling itself Smash Racism DC, shows the protesters chanting “We believe survivors” as they chased Cruz and his wife Heidi from the unidentified eatery.

“I know that you’re very close friends with Mr. Kavanaugh,” one of the activists says to Cruz.

“But do you believe survivors, sir? We believe survivors!”

One protester, describing herself as a constituent and “survivor of sexual assault” followed the Cruzes throughout the restaurant and said, “Senator, I have a right to know what your position is on Brett Kavanaugh.”

“God bless you, ma’am,” Cruz replied.

“Vote no on Kavanaugh!” another protester screamed. “Cancel Kavanaugh for women’s rights.”

However, not all of the protesters were exactly concerned about how the Kavanaugh nomination might affect American women: “Beto is hotter than you, dude,” one protester can be heard to say, referring to Cruz’s Democrat challenger U.S. Rep. Robert “Beto” O’Rourke.

Eventually, after having his table surrounded, Cruz decided it was time to leave.

“Let’s go ahead and go,” Cruz said.

They finally managed to get out after a restaurant employee struggled to get the door open, though it wasn’t clear what the problem was.

The group bragged about its thuggishness on Twitter.

“Activists just chased @TedCruz out of a fancy Washington DC restaurant, chanting ‘We Believe Survivors!’” the group’s post read.

“Cruz has been friends with creep Kavanaugh for 20 years. Now Cruz is on judiciary committee hearing his testimony.

Do you think this is a sign of how desperate the left is?

“Fascists not welcome! #CancelKavanugh,” the post concluded.

Just a note, this hasn’t been taken off Twitter or caused any banning, but James Woods remains locked out of the platform as of Tuesday morning for tweeting a joke meme (nothing has been posted to his normally active account since Thursday). Just throwing that out there.

I’m also forced to note not infrequently that this is apparently where we are in 2018 — harassment and confrontation has replaced civilized discourse, and anyone who’s conservative is considered fair game for public intimidation.

This group shouted at Cruz, they blocked his wife, and all over the fact that he’s friends with Kavanaugh. (He’s also said that the judge needs to give a public explanation about the charges leveled against him, but apparently that doesn’t matter.)

In short, Cruz said “God bless you.” In return, they chased him and his wife out of a restaurant. If that doesn’t say everything about the left and how they’re approaching Brett Kavanaugh and everything involved with the GOP, I don’t know what will.

‘Resistance’ Hero Brian Krassenstein Admits to Being Paid for Hijacking Trump’s Twitter Feed in Secret Recording


‘Resistance’ Hero Brian Krassenstein Admits to Being Paid for Hijacking Trump’s Twitter Feed in Secret Recording


by Cassandra Fairbanks
September 25, 2018

In a secret recording published by Los Angeles-based political activist Currie Dobson, “Resistance” hero Brian Krassenstein admits to being paid for his excessive anti-Trump tweets.

Brian Krassenstein

The purpose of this is, he admits, is to spam the president’s feed and prevent positive commentary from being visible at the top when people scroll through the responses.

When asked if being a member of the “Resistance” is a job for him, Krassenstein begins by stating that he has several businesses and that it’s just what he enjoys spending his time doing. He quickly goes on to admit that he also happens to be paid for it.

“Of course we get paid,” Krassenstein admits, laughing. “Of course there’s higher ups paying us.”

Krassenstein is then asked if that’s why he does it, instead of just his “love of country.”

“I mean people pay us — they want us to help sow the division and to take over Trump’s Twitter feed. When [Trump] makes a post they want our tweets to be up there. They don’t want other people, like Trump supporters to be seen,” Krassenstein continues.

Brian Krassenstein and his brother Ed have cashed in hard with their anti-Trump rhetoric, amassing over a million Twitter followers between the duo.

In 2016, the Florida home of the Krassenstein brothers was raided for running online financial scams.

“According to prosecutors, the services the Krassensteins promoted on their websites duped thousands of ‘investors’ into funding Ponzi scheme-type scams and even resulted in some downloading a virus that emptied their accounts on an anonymous online-payment platform used by the Krassensteins themselves, before it was shut down as part of a major federal money-laundering investigation,” the Daily Beast reported in May.

If you thought what Google was doing to conservatives was bad, look at what they are doing in China


Google has drawn a lot of scrutiny, and not in a good way, for biasing search results against conservatives, artificially promoting leftists and leftwing causes, and smearing and blacklisting conservatives.This 2016 account by psychologist, artificial intelligence maven, and tech whiz Robert Epstein gives a superb point-by-point breakdown of what they’ve been up to so far. (Epstein is the same guy in the news two days ago who said there was credible evidence Google manipulated search results to swing the popular vote to Hillary Clinton).


So much for not being evil.



But all of this is nuisanceware compared to what they’ve been caught doing in China and are now trying to cover up. According to Glenn Greenwald’s The Intercept:


Google bosses have forced employees to delete a confidential memo circulating inside the company that revealed explosive details about a plan to launch a censored search engine in China, The Intercept has learned.


The memo, authored by a Google engineer who was asked to work on the project, disclosed that the search system, codenamed Dragonfly, would require users to log in to perform searches, track their location — and share the resulting history with a Chinese partner who would have “unilateral access” to the data.


CNET adds:


According to the report, the so-called Dragonfly search engine would require Chinese citizens to log in to perform searches, track their physical location, and then share all of its data with a Chinese partner company that could presumably share it with the Chinese government. The company would reportedly have “unilateral access” to the data. That might also presumably include Chinese citizens’ phone numbers, as described in an earlier Intercept report. 


Plus, that Chinese company would reportedly be able to independently add new words to the blacklist of searches to be censored, according to today’s report.


Sounds like the Orwellian dream come true. Anyone who wants to have a cellphone and look up information in China would become a target for communist China’s odious secret police, and they will be looking.


Seriously, a device to track your every move and every question asked is right there in the realm of thought control, and amazingly enough, it was an American company, full of leftists, who made such a communist dream a reality. The old Stalin or Mao system of informants and knocks on the door at midnight was just too crude and inefficient. Today’s totalitarians are sleek and efficient, with Google technology powering their capacity to zero in on just the most disruptive people, the better to keep the rest of society submissive, with the least possible effort. This is how code works, deducting, deducting, deducting, and why it’s done so much for America’s productivity revolution. Now it’s being applied to totalitarians’ needs, with Google the big pioneer in it.


Who would have thought it would be American technology and know-how that made just such a system possible. What’s more, who doesn’t think they won’t find a way around it to bring it here?


Business Insider explains why Google doesn’t want anyone to know:


The information within the memo appears to contradicts statements made by Google CEO Sundar Pichai that the company’s efforts on a Chinese search engine were exploratory.


Google’s China efforts mark a major reversal of its 2010 decision to pull its search operations out of China rather than censor information. The project to re-enter China has been hugely controversial inside the company, and several Google employees have resigned in protest.


Losing talent, deceiving shareholders, not a good thing. But from Google’s point of view, China is a big market and from big markets come big profits. I suspect the Googletrons noticed that Yahoo! got off scot-free from cooperating with the Chicoms on email, and decided the risk was nothing while the money-making opportunity for themselves was too good to pass up. Hence, the memo with that sneaky little plan to give the Chicoms the magic tools to go Orwell.


Any questions as to why President Trump just recently warned that Google and its lesser Silicon Valley coevals ‘threaten democracy and online freedom‘? Americans love to dismiss Trump as over the top but after reading this stuff, in retrospect it sounds like he knew something.


Knowledge is power and those guys at Google understand that.

Brett Kavanaugh: Witnesses Contradict My Accusers, I’ve Already Denied ‘Under Penalty of Felony’

Judge Brett Kavanaugh spoke publicly on Monday for the first time since being accused of sexual misconduct, telling Fox News Channel’s Martha McCallum that the accusations against him are categorically false, that he looks forward to clearing his name before the Senate, and that all he asks for is a fair process.
