Author of Report on Google Search Manipulation Corrects Hillary Clinton After Her False Tweet Slamming the President

After President Donald Trump took to Twitter to share information from a report that found Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election, the former First Lady took to Twitter — with lies that have now been brutally debunked.

The failed presidential candidate took issue with Trump’s tweet about the report, though the report was written by one of her fans.

In response, Clinton claimed that “the debunked study you’re referring to was based on 21 undecided voters. For context that’s about half the number of people associated with your campaign who have been indicted.”

However, the study was not debunked and was not based on 21 undecided voters, at all.

The author of the report, Dr. Robert Epstein, responded to Clinton on Twitter with some facts that she may find inconvenient for her narrative.

“I’m a big supporter, BUT… my 2016 monitoring findings were based on an analysis of 13,207 election-related searches, along with the 98,044 web pages to which the search results linked. The pro-Hillary bias was significant at the .001 level,” Dr. Epstein responded, along with a link to his report.

Epstein didn’t stop there, he also wrote that though he’s a fan and hates correcting her, “to my knowledge no credible authority has ever ‘debunked’ either my 2016 and 2018 election monitoring projects or my controlled studies on internet influence.”

Epstein even tweeted out a photo of him and Clinton, and wrote about his disappointment in her “blatant lies.”

Taxpayers are Still Funding Grotesque Frankenstein Experiments Combining Aborted Fetus Remains With Live Animals

While the Trump administration has stopped funding the Internal National Institutes of Health (NIH) experimentation that used aborted human fetal tissue, a taxpayer watchdog group has teamed up with a pro-life group and uncovered $115 million in taxpayer funds being used for another 200 projects by other groups using aborted fetuses for their testing.

For example, at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), scientists recently used $2 million in government funds to transplant intestines removed from 18-24 week-old aborted fetuses onto the backs of 6 to 8-week-old mice.

These terrifying experiments were uncovered in a joint effort between the taxpayer watchdog group White Coat Waste Project and Pro-Life San Francisco.

“In other bizarre Frankenstein study funded by taxpayers, UCSF implanted intact reproductive tracts from 9.5 to 22-week-old human fetuses, including from a pair of aborted twins, into mice dosed with synthetic estrogen,”  the groups wrote in a joint op-ed for the Washington Examiner.

Responding to the findings, Senator Rand Paul’s Chief Strategist Doug Stafford told the Gateway Pundit that taxpayers should not be funding these horrors.

“This is important work by White Coat Waste and Pro-Life San Francisco to shine a light on the expensive and gross experimentation being done with animals and fetuses. Taxpayers should not have to fund these types of tests that sound like something out of a Mary Shelley novel,” Stafford said.

The aborted fetuses are taken from university-affiliated hospitals and harvested for research. While the experiments sound like something out of a horror movie, there is huge money in the bizarre and cruel tests.

“At the University of California-San Diego (UCSD), faculty received nearly $400,000 in taxpayer funds this year for experiments that involve implanting thymus glands from aborted human babies into mice. The mice with human fetal glands were also injected with human fetal liver cells from 17-20-week-old human fetuses. The mice were then killed and dissected. This project has received $2.7 million in taxpayer largesse since 2012 and is scheduled to run through late 2020,” their exposé continued.

In another example of their testing uncovered by the two groups, the USC took kidney tissue from 8 to 18-week-old human fetuses and spent $2.3 million in federal grants comparing it to kidney tissue of fetuses cut from mice.

Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Mark Meadows spoke out about the cruel and wasteful studies last year, saying that “my constituents have a problem with is using their tax dollars to buy baby brains and baby eyes to do research when they find it abhorrent.”

According to a PEW Research poll, 52% of Americans oppose animal testing, and a Fox News poll found that 49% oppose testing using aborted fetuses.

Molecular biologist Tara Sander Lee has argued that these tests are not only abhorrent — they are also unnecessary.

“Contrary to popular belief, fetal tissue from induced abortions is not necessary for research and the development of medical treatments. In fact, to date there have been no cures from abortion-derived human fetal tissue. The oft-cited vaccines for polio, measles, and mumps were never produced using human fetal tissue but rather used monkey cells, chicken eggs, and non-fetal human cells,” Sander Lee said in an interview with the Charlotte Lozier Institute about the ethics of these tests.

Nutball Dem Candidate Marianne Williamson Takes Aim At … Andrew Jackson?

Marianne Williamson isn’t bothering herself with targeting the other 22 candidates running for the Democratic presidential nomination. No, she’s got her eye on one guy — Andrew Jackson.

Forget the fact that the seventh president of the United States has been dead 174 years. Williamson thinks Jackson is a key issue in the 2020 race.

“We will begin by taking that picture of Andrew Jackson off the wall of the Oval Office,” the candidate told the Native American audience at the Frank LaMere Presidential Candidate Forum on Monday. “I am not a Native American woman, but I find it one of the greatest insults. You will not be insulted. You will be more than not insulted. If I am President of the United States, there will be a level of atonement, there will be a level of making amends.”

For laymen, when Democrats saying “making amends” that means they plan to hand out your tax money to “victims.”

Jackson was the son of immigrants who became a war hero in the War of 1812. But as with all early president, Jackson owned slaves and he battled Native Americans, eventually signing into law a bill passed by Congress known as the Indian Removal Act. The act forced the relocation of Native American tribes from their native Georgia to Oklahoma, and under his successor, Martin Van Buren, thousands of Cherokees died as they marched along what is now known as the Trail of Tears.

“It is one of the great shames, the great pockmarks on the heart of the psyche of American history,” Williamson said. “This is not a president who should be shown the honor of his portrait hanging in the Oval Office.”

President Trump has praised Jackson, calling him one of his favorite presidents. “Andrew Jackson had a great history” of “tremendous success for the country,” Trump told NBC News in 2016. Trump also opposed a move to replace the president on the $20 bill with abolitionist Harriet Tubman as “pure political correctness.”

“I want people of the United States to come to understand that what occurred on this planet was one of the great evils of history, but that I believe in redemption for nations as well for individuals,” Williamson said, referring to the federal government’s historic mistreatment of America’s original inhabitants.

“We can atone. We can make amends. And if and when I’m president of the United States, we will,” she added. “We will begin by taking that picture of Andrew Jackson off the wall of the Oval Office, I assure you.”

Amazon facial recognition once again identifies lawmakers as criminals

Jeff Bezos must really be getting tired of these headlines coming up all the time. It seems that their facial recognition software (known as Rekognition) has been subjected to yet another test and come up a little short. Or a lot short, particularly if you happen to be one of the more than two dozen state lawmakers who showed up as hits matching them against a database of known criminals. But hey… when you’re making omelets you’ve got to crack a few eggs, right? (CBS San Francisco)

A recent test of Amazon’s facial recognition technology reportedly ended with a major fail, as some state lawmakers turned up as suspected criminals.

The test performed by the American Civil Liberties Union screened 120 lawmakers’ images against a database of 25,000 mugshots. Twenty-six of the lawmakers were wrongly identified as suspects.

The ACLU said the findings show the need to block law enforcement from using this technology in officers’ body cameras. Meanwhile, supporters of facial recognition say police could use the technology to help alert officers to criminals, especially at large events.

As usual, let’s get the obvious joke out of the way first. If the software is identifying California legislators as criminals, honestly… how broken is it really? (Insert rimshot gif here.)

Getting back to the actual story, the first thing to note is that the “test” in question was performed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). At least that’s how it’s phrased in the CBS report. Last I checked, they weren’t a software development firm, so did they really make up and perform the test themselves or shop the job out to a firm with more direct experience? I’d like to see the details.

Of course, the results aren’t that suspect. Of all the facial recognition software out there that we’ve looked at, Amazon’s seems to be the one that winds up producing the most spectacular (and frequently hilarious) epic fails when put to independent testing. In that light, perhaps the ACLU wasn’t off the mark.

Of course, the ACLU isn’t looking to improve the technology. This test was run so they can continue their campaign to prevent law enforcement from using the software. Democratic Assemblymember Phil Ting of San Francisco (who was tagged as a felon) is quoted as saying, “While we can laugh about it as legislators, it’s no laughing matter if you are an individual who is trying to get a job, for an individual trying to get a home. If you get falsely accused of an arrest, what happens? It could impact your ability to get employment.”

These types of scare tactics are all too common and should be derided. I’ve asked multiple times now and am still waiting for an answer to one simple question. Does anyone have evidence of even a single instance where someone was misidentified by facial recognition and gone on to be prosecuted (or persecuted, as Ting suggests) because the mistake wasn’t discovered? I’ve yet to hear of a case. Did the police show up and arrest Ting after he was misidentified? I somehow doubt it.

Look, the technology is still in its infancy and it’s got a few bugs in it. They’re working them out as they go. Eventually, they’ll get it up to speed and the error rates should drop down to acceptable levels. And if this software can help catch a suspect in a violent crime in a matter of minutes or hours rather than days or weeks after they were spotted by a security camera, that’s a tool that the police need to have.

Miss Nevada State Barred From Miss America Pageant for Being Conservative Speaks to TGP

Army National Guardsman and combat veteran Katie Jo Williams says that she has been stripped of her “Ms. Nevada State 2019” title and barred from competing in the Miss America pageant over her political views.

Williams tells the Gateway Pundit that over the five months that she held the title, the director would frequently call her and tell her that she was being too political on social media and ask her to delete posts.

“Over the course of the five months that I actually had the title, every now and then the director would basically tell me that I’m being too political and she’s not a fan of what I’m saying.”

In other messages, William’s said, the director would tell her to take her sash to events and get photos with political leaders. They wanted her to get photos with Donald Trump Jr. at a Turning Point USA event, for example, but would then hypocritically chastise her for “being too political.”

“I was very confused by this,” Williams said of the mixed messages she was receiving from the organization.

Williams explained that because she has been in the military for 12 years, she knew to have the organization send her all of their requests and demands in writing, “because I learned that if it’s not in writing, it didn’t happen.” She has been posting some of the exchanges to her Twitter account.

On Monday, Williams posted a video explaining that she had been ordered to surrender her crown and sash and remove all mention of the pageant from her social media — as if she had never held the title. She has refused to comply with their demands.

“The pageant’s actually this Saturday,” she said in a video explaining what happened. “So, that means everything’s been paid for. Everything’s been done. All the sponsor money has been collected, and now I don’t get to compete.”

Williams frequently posted about her conservative views, but says the director specifically took issue with posts in which she called Antifa a terrorist organization.

They were also upset about a post in which she wore a “Trump 2020” hat.

“I am so tired of being labeled as this crazy, right wing, whatever you want to call it,” she said. “I just don’t understand how you could censor someone with conservative values when I’m not even really saying anything that’s bad.”

Williams is the second beauty queen to seemingly have their crown revoked over their political views this summer. Conservative commentator Kathy Zhu was also stripped of her crown in Michigan.

Dianne Feinstein Falsely Claims ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Lowered Crime

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) claims the 1994 “assault weapons” ban lowered crime even though a Department of Justice report shows it had no impact on recorded figures.

On August 20, 2019, Feinstein tweeted:

She followed that tweet with a second that said, “It’s long past time to reinstate a ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines before more lives are lost.”

On February 19, 2018, Breitbart News reported the Department of Justice’s National Institute of Justice (NIJ) report showing the federal “assault weapons” ban could not be credited with any reduction in crime.

The NIJ report was authored by University of Pennsylvania professor Christopher Koper. And the Washington Times quoted Koper saying, “We cannot clearly credit the ban with any of the nation’s recent drop in gun violence. And, indeed, there has been no discernible reduction in the lethality and injuriousness of gun violence.”
