NewsGuard, the blacklisting arm of Microsoft, is still deliberately misleading Americans into believing debunked Russia Collusion Hoax headlines are credible.
On Monday, Breitbart News reported on the top 51 debunked Russia Collusion Hoax stories spread by the establishment media over the last few years. A spot check of the first 12 stories on that list shows that the NewsGuard’s seal of approval — a big, green checkmark — still appears next to almost all of those stories!
—
The blacklisters at NewsGuard argue that it is not signing off on individual stories. Rather, it only signs off on the news outlets publishing those individual stories. But as you can see in the screengrabs above, that is disingenuous. That big, green checkmark of approval still sits next to some of the most misleading stories in history and it is deliberately placed next to the hoax headline — not the outlet.
This is an obvious attempt to mislead causal news readers into believing proven lies about President Trump are true.
Some of these stories might have been updated, but their misleading headlines remain and each of these stories should have been retracted, not spun into “almost true” or merely amended but still loaded with provably false insinuations.
NewsGuard and its corporate media confederates have so rigged the system that unless the news outlet in question fixes the false headline on its own (as Talking Points Memo did below), the lying headline, the fake news lives on forever.
What’s more, why is NewsGuard giving its seal of approval to news outlets that published lie after lie after lie?
Naturally, NewsGuard is blacklisting Breitbart News (a red checkmark sits next to all of our headlines), even though we got the Russia Collusion story 100 percent correct.
What’s more, unlike all the establishment outlets NewsGuard offers its seal of approval to, Breitbart News also got the Brett Kavanaugh story correct, as well as the Covington Catholic High School, George Zimmerman, and “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” stories.
Nevertheless, NewsGuard marks every single one of our correct stories as inaccurate.
In all my decades of following the media, I have never seen a more Orwellian attempt to mislead people by deliberately labeling lies as truth and truth as lies — all in service to Big Brother, the political establishment.

TEL AVIV – The Trump administration announced Monday that it is offering up to $10 million for any information leading to the disruption of terror group Hezbollah’s financial networks in a bid to bankrupt the terror organization.
It marks the first time that a monetary reward has been offered for intelligence relating to the Iranian-backed group’s funding.
A Forbesreport recently claimed Hezbollah to be the richest terror organization in the world, with an estimated annual income of $1.1 billion.
The announcement comes on the heels of the U.S. increasing pressure on Iran, of which Hezbollah is a proxy. On Monday, the U.S. announced that as of next month it would cease waiving sanctions on countries that purchase oil from Iran, including China, India, Japan, South Korea and Turkey.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said bankrupting Hezbollah was one of the U.S.’s chief aims in its ongoing quest to choke Iran economically.
“We have watched Iran have diminished power as a result of our campaign,” he said. “Their capacity to wreak harm around the world is absolutely clearly diminished. I talked about it with respect to Hezbollah not being able to make payroll in a timely fashion.”
The Lebanon-based terror group is largely funded by Tehran, but has a vast network ranging from business investments, private donors and money laundering activities.
The State Department deemed Hezbollah a Foreign Terrorist Organization in October 1997, and as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist in October 2001.
The U.S. said it would issue monetary rewards for any information identifying and thwarting “a source of revenue for Hezbollah or its key financial facilitation mechanisms … major Hezbollah donors or financial facilitators … financial institutions or exchange houses facilitating Hezbollah transactions … businesses or investments owned or controlled by Hezbollah or its financiers … front companies engaged in international procurement of dual-use technology on behalf of Hezbollah” and “criminal schemes involving Hezbollah members and supporters which financially benefit the organization.”
“I’m confident that the (reward) that we are offering today will provide incentives for people to come forward with information that will help us take down Hezbollah’s financial networks,” said Assistant Secretary for State for Diplomatic Security Michael T. Evanoff in a press briefing at the State Department.
The State Department highlighted three individuals as key Hezbollah financiers or facilitators about whom it seeks information: Adham Tabaja, Mohammad Ibrahim Bazzi and Ali Youssef Charara.
“We will leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of information that will help us clamp down further on these individuals and on others they use to access the international financial system,” said Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorist Financing Marshall Billingslea. “Either directly or via cash smuggling networks and other seemingly legitimate businesses and investments.”
“We will pay for bank records, customs forms, real estate transactions and anything evidencing money laundering or cash smuggling,” he continued. “The United States government is prepared to pay for this information, and we will award up to $10 million for leads that result in financial disruption. Whether by US law enforcement sanctions or other enforcement actions.”
In 2017, Politico published a report called “The secret backstory of how Obama let Hezbollah off the hook” in which it exposed Hezbollah’s money laundering network and other crimes, which the Obama administration allowed to go unpunished as it hoped to close the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran.
TEL AVIV – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday called Ukraine’s newly elected president Volodymyr Zelensky and extended an invitation to him to visit Israel.
Israel’s Ambassador to Ukraine Joel Lion said Netanyahu “congratulated him for his victory, expressed his hope to continue the good relations between our countries and invited him to visit Israel.”
Netanyahu also “thanked outgoing Ukrainian President Poroshenko for his friendship toward the State of Israel and the Jewish people,” he added.
In January, Poroshenko and Netanyahu signed a free trade agreement in Jerusalem.
Zelensky, a 41-year-old TV comedian with no political experience, was elected Sunday in a landslide victory.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said Zelensky’s victory showed Ukraine’s “vibrant democracy” after “five years of unrelenting Russian aggression.”
“The United States maintains steadfast support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its international borders and will continue to stand with Ukraine as it undertakes essential reforms,” Ortagus said in a statement.
“We look forward to working with President-elect Volodymyr Zelensky to advance our two nations’ shared goal of a secure, prosperous, democratic and free Ukraine,” she said.
Zelensky’s appointment means the Ukraine is the only country in the world outside of Israel to have both a Jewish president and a Jewish prime minister.
Ukraine is home to the fourth largest Jewish community in Europe.
In its annual report on anti-Semitism last year, Israel’s government singled out Ukraine for anti-Semitism.
In 2016, Netanyahu canceled the visit of Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman to Israel after Kiev voted to pass an anti-settlements resolution at the UN Security Council.
The Cuban communist regime sentenced Evangelical Pastor Ramón Rigal to two years in prison – and his wife Ayda Expósito to a year and half – on Monday for homeschooling their children, less than a week after their arrest for promoting the practice.
“The family … were given 30 minutes notice before the trial began on 18 April, and went on throughout the afternoon but was then suspended until Monday 22 April,” the aid group Christian Solidarity Worldwide said in a report on their story this week.
Homeschooling is illegal in Cuba, as it is considered a “capitalist” practice and prevents the state from indoctrinating children in Marxist atheism in public schools. Rigal has been homeschooling his children for years, forcing him into consistent confrontations with the Castro regime, and began helping other Christian families homeschool following his arrest in 2017.
The couple, from Guantánamo, faced a summary judgment on their case on Monday, according to the Miami-based Radio Martí. The presiding judge found them guilty of “illicit assembly and incitement to delinquency” for meeting with other families to teach them how to homeschool and “acts contrary to the normal development of minors.”
Martí and Diario de Cuba, a Spanish newspaper, both reported that Cuban state security aggressively prevented friends and family from attending the sentencing. Their oldest daughter, 13-year-old Ruth, confirmed to both outlets that police blocked her from entering the courthouse.
“That was embarrassing, it is shameful what they have done with our parents,” Ruth told Martí. “They took my mother and my father to prison and did not think of the kids, of us, that we are minors, that we need our mother and our father together.”
The court also blocked independent attorney and journalist Roberto de Jesús Quiñones Haces from attending the sentencing. Media covering the story do not agree on whether Quiñones meant to attend in his capacity as lawyer for the family or to report on what happened in the courthouse. What they do agree on is that state security violently assaulted Quiñones to keep him out of the building.
“They punched me in the mouth, my shirt is bloody, and I am detained here now, I don’t know why,” Quiñones told Martí reporter Tomás Cardoso briefly before police confiscated his phone. At press time the lawyer remains in police custody.
The Rigal Espósito family has a right of appeal, though dissidents rarely have their sentences overturned without significant international pressure. Global outrage is precisely what saved them following their initial decision to homeschool in 2017, using a system sent to them in CD and print form by a Christian school in Guatemala. At the time, the government revoked Rigal’s ability to preach as a pastor and sentenced him to a year of hard labor; Espósito received a one-year house arrest sentence.
Rigal described his sentence as “humiliating” while serving it but told Martí in 2017 the Christian faith warns of such punishment by repressors.
“You feel ashamed because they want to humble us, but that is the legacy that the Lord left us: that because of our faith and our principles we will suffer this,” he said.
The government ultimately released the couple and restored Rigal’s ability to legally preach thanks to global pressure from Christian aid organizations on the condition that Rigal and Espósito stop homeschooling and do not expose others to the practice. The two refused and taught several other families at Rigal’s church how to homeschool their children.
Following the first arrest, the family decided to flee the country, but the Castro regime has refused them permission, treating them as criminals instead.
The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) said in a post on their website last week that it had purchased plane tickets to bring the family to the United States after Cuban government agents urged Rigal to leave. As they prepared their departure, however, Rigal told the HSLDA that regime officials demanded he condemn the fellow Christians he shared his homeschooling materials with. Since Rigal refused, he and his wife were arrested.
The Marxist Castro regime regularly represses Christian dissidents, particularly Protestant and Evangelical groups that operate in a more decentralized, and thus harder to control, manner than Catholic associations. In the 1960s, Fidel Castro build labor camps known as Military Units to Aid Production (UMAP) to house Jehovah’s Witnesses and Seventh-Day Adventists alongside other “counter-revolutionaries” such as LGBT Cubans, writers, and other creatives. Today, Cuban police arrest the Catholic members of the Ladies in White dissident group, often violently, on a weekly basis for attempting to attend Sunday Mass, the group’s sole act of protest.
Rigal and Espósito were arrested during Holy Week which culminates in Easter, the most important holiday in the Christian calendar.
CNN’s town hall Monday evening in Manchester, New Hampshire, reinforced a trend that has been visible throughout the Democratic presidential primary race in 2020 thus far: no Democrat wants to be perceived as a “moderate” option.
Instead, every single candidate is running to the extreme left.
Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the pioneer of the “Medicare for All” idea, was always there, but he added an element of crazy when he suggested that even the Boston Marathon bomber should be allowed to vote from prison.
He set himself up for a perfect rebuke from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) — and she passed: “We should have that conversation,” the former California Attorney General said.
Harris also reiterated her support for Sanders’s “Medicare for All” policy, even after being reminded — by CNN host Don Lemon, of all people — that it meant eliminating private health insurance, including employer-based insurance. She also said that Congress should begin the process of impeaching President Donald Trump — even though he was cleared of collusion and the Department of Justice decided there was no factual basis for obstruction of justice charges.
South Bend, Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg once looked like he might offer a reasonable alternative — until he started talking reparations with racist, antisemite kingmaker Al Sharpton and picking a fight over Mike Pence’s Christianity.
There is a massive gap in the Democratic primary race in the center-left, the non-crazy wing of the Democratic Party. But no one seems to be exploiting it — not even former Vice President Joe Biden, who still cannot decide when and where to launch his nascent presidential campaign.
Earlier this month, Biden bemoaned the fact that “progressive” had come to mean “socialist.” The party’s voters, he said, were not so far left. But he still rejected the label “moderate.”
There are three reasons no Democrat seems willing to run to the center. One is that they fear the party’s activists, who control the primary process and use social media to punish dissent. Sharpton and radicals like “democratic socialist” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have seized control of the agenda.
A second reason is that no one wants to play the spoiler — the role that former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, among others, tries to play in internal Republican debates. (Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) seems to be auditioning for the role in 2020.)
But a third reason may simply be that the Democratic candidates lack the talent, or the will, to represent a broader set of ideas. They feint in that direction, on occasion — such as Harris claiming she owns a gun, or Bernie talking about the need for border enforcement.
But none can, or will, do what Bill Clinton did in the 1992 Democratic primary, or what Trump did for Republicans in 2016 — namely, breaking with orthodoxy, while bringing enough of the base along.
At least, not yet.

On April 9, Israeli voters went to the polls and reelected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a landslide to serve a fifth term as prime minister.
The vote was notable for two reasons. First, it was taken in defiance of the clearly expressed will of Israel’s media and its governing elites. Israel’s liberal media outlets essentially served as the campaign directors of Netanyahu’s political opponents.
For their part, Israel’s overwhelmingly liberal bureaucratic elites, represented in the elections by Israel’s Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, made a naked bid to unseat Netanyahu through legal fiat. Barely a month before the April 9 vote, Mandelblit announced that he intended to indict Netanyahu in three criminal probes of specious origins and legal foundations pending a pre-indictment hearing.
The second reason the election results were notable was because in an eleventh-hour appeal to voters, Netanyahu pledged to apply Israeli law to parts of Judea and Samaria.
Judea and Samaria, otherwise known as the West Bank, are parts of the historic land of Israel that Israel took control over 52 years ago in the 1967 Six Day War. Nearly a half million Israelis live in Judea and Samaria today. Perpetual Israeli control over the vast majority of the areas is essential from a strategic perspective. Without control over its eastern frontier and the approaches to its major population and industrial centers, Israel’s very existence will be threatened. This is particularly true in light of the instability of the Arab world.
Since 1993, the future of Judea and Samaria has been the subject of negotiations with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Despite the fact that negotiations ended to all practical effect in 2000, when the Palestinians rejected an Israeli offer to transfer control over 95 percent of Judea and Samaria to them in exchange for peace, and opted instead to wage a massive terror war against the Jewish state, due to international pressure, Israel has been unable to extricate itself from the negotiations framework.
That framework requires Israel to hold Judea and Samaria in effective escrow, harming basic legal rights to the Israelis who live in the areas, in the hope that one day the Palestinians will accept peace. Since 2000, the Palestinians rejected even more generous offers of territory from Israel and from the Obama administration, and opted instead to maintain and escalate their political and terror war against the Jewish state.
Over the past dozen years, as more and more Israelis recognized that there is no Palestinian partner for peace, and that in the face of gross instability in the Arab world, Israel can no longer condition its long-term strategic and national viability on a chimerical peace deal with Palestinian terrorists, a growing chorus of Israeli politicians and opinion shapers, (including this writer) has called for Israel to apply its law to all or parts of Judea and Samaria.
In 2017, Netanyahu’s Likud party endorsed applying Israeli law to the Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria. Fearing an international backlash, Netanyahu refused to back the move.
But three days before the elections, Netanyahu pledged in a television interview that if reelected he will apply Israeli law to the Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria.
And he won, in a landslide.
American Jewish leaders on both sides of the partisan aisle routinely applaud Israel’s democracy. They argue that it is Israel’s democracy that forms the basis of U.S. support for the Jewish state. In light of this consistent position, American Jewish leaders across the partisan divide could have been expected to celebrate the elections and the vibrancy of Israeli democracy and the independent mindedness of Israeli voters.
But this did not happen. While conservative Jewish American groups congratulated Israelis for their open democracy, liberal American Jewish groups responded to the Israeli election results by throwing a collective fit.
This fit took the form of a letter to President Donald Trump by ten liberal Jewish groups. The letter was notable for two reasons. First, the groups that signed it have been among Trump’s worst critics not only in the American Jewish community but in the wider American body politic. The Reform and Conservative religious movements, which together encompass the majority of American Jews, have boycotted conference calls that Trump has held with Jewish leaders.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), another signatory to the letter, has published misleading data regarding antisemitic attacks in the U.S. with the apparent goal of blaming Trump for anti-Jewish violence and discrimination.
In their April 12 letter, the ten groups “strongly urged” Trump to “pledge that any peace initiative your administration proposes will be based upon the principle of a negotiated two-state solution,” and “to clearly express your opposition to unilateral measures outside of this framework, including annexation by Israel of any territory in the West Bank.”
Ironically, the anti-Trump groups insisted that allowing the democratically elected Israeli government to implement the policy it was elected on would “put [Israel’s] core interest in maintaining a Jewish and democratic state at risk.”
The groups’ letter to Trump reveals two distressing facts about the state of these groups and about liberal American Jewry as a whole.
First, while they may represent more than half of American Jews, these organizations are rendering themselves irrelevant. The so-called “two-state solution” to which they maintain slavish devotion has no chance of being implemented. The Palestinians simply do not want it. They don’t want a state that will live side by side with Israel. They want to eliminate Israel.
In all likelihood, these Jewish groups, which overwhelmingly oppose President Trump, are insisting that the administration join them in rejecting any policy other than Israeli surrender of Judea and Samaria to Palestinian terrorists for political reasons. To maintain their position in the Democratic Party, which is rapidly abandoning its traditional support for Israel, these groups are demanding that both Israel and the Trump administration maintain allegiance to Barack Obama’s Middle East policies in relation to the Palestinians.
This is a pathetic position. As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo noted on April 14, the two-state framework has failed for forty years. There is no reason whatsoever to believe that it will ever work. By insisting that it never be abandoned, these liberal Jewish groups are embracing failure.
Moreover, the two-state paradigm, which requires Israel to keep its most vital national and strategic interests in limbo to appease terrorists that will never be appeased, is a policy paradigm that is inherently hostile to Israel. By insisting that the two-state paradigm never be abandoned, these liberal Jewish groups are committing themselves to an agenda that is deeply hostile to the Jewish state.
The liberal Jewish groups’ position is also pathetic because the Democratic Party they desperately wish to support no longer takes their views into consideration in any significant way. The fact that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refuses to condemn Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) despite her open hatred for Jews signals that liberal American Jews are no longer a force to be reckoned with in Democratic politics.
So, too, the fact that no major Democratic presidential hopefuls will take effective action to combat the self-evidently antisemitic BDS campaign against Israel and its American Jewish supporters indicates that the next Democratic presidential nominee will not be pro-Israel.
Beyond the political implications of the move, the letter to Trump reveals a deeper, and even more tragic aspect, of liberal American Jewry. The very fact that this is the battle these groups have chosen to pick indicates that they have either lost sight of their larger role in the lives of American Jewry, or that liberal American Jews no longer believe these groups have a larger role to play in their lives, or both.
The letter was written a week before the Passover holiday began. Passover is the celebration of the birth of the Jewish nation, with G-d’s liberation of the Jews from slavery in Pharaoh’s Egypt. Jews throughout the world, including in the United States, observe Passover. For many U.S. Jews, it is one of the few times each year when they devote themselves to their Jewish identity and faith.
And yet, a week before Passover, the big statement the leaders Reform and Conservative Judaism in America felt it was most critical for them to express was one that had nothing to do with Judaism or Jewish peoplehood or freedom. Indeed, it was a statement antithetical to all of those things.
The fact that a week before Passover the leaders of these groups felt it was a good idea to sign on to a political statement expressing contempt for Israeli democracy and demanding adherence to a policy rejected by the overwhelming majority of Israeli Jews, in order to lock the U.S. into a failed policy that is antithetical to Israel’s most basic interests, shows that they don’t think they can sustain or even need a broader goal than supporting Obama’s anti-Israel policies.
In other words: They care more about Obama’s anti-Israel policies than Israeli democracy. This is the true tragedy of liberal American Jewry.

Administrators at Middlebury College apologized this week for their decision to cancel a lecture by Polish conservative Ryszard Legutko.
According to a report by The College Fix, administrators at Middlebury College are rethinking their decision to cancel a recent lecture by Ryszard Legutko, a Polish politician. An event featuring Legutko was canceled after student protesters urged the administration to reconsider their support for the event. Legutko ultimately gave a “secret” speech in a small classroom on campus.
“As someone who cares about making this campus a better, more thoughtful place, I think it would be irresponsible not to protest against such a person’s presence,” one student told the Middlebury student newspaper in the weeks leading up to the scheduled event. “I intend on exercising my own right to free speech and protest by refusing to allow Legutko to speak here without informing the community of his harmful ideas.”
In a meeting this week, students confronted administrators about their decision to cancel the event. Administrators were quick to apologize. They noted that students were justified in their frustration. They pledged to ensure that future events will not be deterred by student protesters.
“I hear you, and you should be outraged, and we should acknowledge that and apologize because that’s the least we can do right now because we can’t make it right in the moment,” one administrator said during the meeting. “But in the future, we will do everything we can to make it right,” an administrator told the students.
“You are absolutely right, me apologizing is not going to cut it,” the administrator continued. “We have to change, and it’s not up to you to engage, it’s up to us … you should be frustrated. I’m just really frustrated too, and again that doesn’t make this right, doesn’t absolve me of my responsibilities in any shape or form, but we’re going to keep at it because this is not the institution we want.”
Middlebury College was in the spotlight in 2017 after student protesters physically attacked Middlebury Professor Allison Stanger during an event featuring American Enterprise Institute Scholar Charles Murray.

Border apprehensions of illegal aliens entering the United States in the Rio Grande Valley sector has already surpassed 2018’s year-end total, the U.S. Border Patrol says.
In the first seven months of the fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1, more than 164,000 migrants have been apprehended or turned themselves in and applied for asylum in the sector, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Agents in the sector made 162,262 apprehensions in all of the fiscal 2018 year.
“The increase is the result of an ongoing surge of migrants, most of them from Central America, who are crossing the border to seek asylum,” the Texas Tribune reports. “The 2019 total for the Rio Grande Valley includes 15,310 unaccompanied minors apprehended from October through March — compared to 23,760 during the entire 2018 fiscal year — and 79,000 people who were traveling in families during the same time frame, which has already surpassed the 63,280 family members apprehended in 2018 (April figures were not immediately available).”
“The Border Patrol has reported similar increases along the entire southwest border,” the paper wrote.
Last week, former U.S. Border Patrol chief Mark Morgan, who served during the Obama administration, said the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border is the worst “in the history of this country.”
Morgan, who has been defending President Trump in his efforts to stem the flow of illegal aliens into the U.S., gave a frank assessment of the situation in a Monday interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News Business.
“Make no mistake, and I’ve been trying to get out here — this isn’t just a crisis, this is a crisis like we’ve never experienced in the history of this country since we started tracking numbers,” Morgan said today. “And again, we’ve had that talk and that’s because of the demographics. There’s still this very false talking point out there that — well, back in the ’90s, the numbers were higher — over a million.”
Also last week, Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Sector Chief Patrol Agent Rodolfo Karisch said in during a congressional hearing that in his sector alone, border agents have captured people trying to enter the country illegally from more than 50 different countries, including Turkey, China, Bangladesh, Egypt and Romania. “People are traveling across hemispheres to attempt to illegally enter the U.S., using the same pathways as the Central Americans,” he told lawmakers.
“Much media attention has focused on caravans coming across from Central America,” Karisch said. “But the fact is that RGV is receiving caravan-equivalent numbers every seven days.”
Obama’s border chief Morgan blamed “broken asylum laws.”
“With the broken asylum laws and other loopholes that are there, we’re seeing 65 to 70 percent increase in family units, and because of those broken laws, we’re allowing them in. This year, we’re expected to hit a million, but we’re going to let 650,000 into the country. That’s driving this crisis, driving our resources, being overwhelmed. We have to address it,” he said.
Morgan has long supported a border barrier. In November 2016, he told a Senate committee, “Do we need more fencing? Yes. Does it work? Yes. Do we need it everywhere? No. Is it the sole answer? No.”
Morgan added that the current situation “would be like having a high-tech security system, but not having doors or windows in your house.”
Via WFB: New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D.) warned President Donald Trump will win in 2020 unless Democrats are “bold” and “progressive” by embracing ideas such as the Green New Deal, the details of which includes banning “classic” skyscrapers for being environmentally inefficient. De Blasio told Morning Joe New York City had its “own Green […]
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio bragged about how wildly successful “Meatless Mondays” are among elementary school children.
Last month, the Communist Mayor of New York took a page out of Kim Jong Un’s playbook and announced “Meatless Mondays” will be implemented in public schools across NYC.
Bill de Blasio, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Communists in the Democrat party are now trying to control how much meat Americans eat.
De Blasio said in a video he posted to Twitter on Earth Day that the children demanded “Meatless Mondays” and more vegetables in their lunches.
Uh huh.
De Blasio visited a cafeteria in Brooklyn where he claimed he spent time with 4th graders through 7th graders who are passionate about being healthy and saving the planet.
“[T]hey [children] believe in ‘Meatless Mondays,’” De Blasio said. “More vegetables and more fruits, more meatless options are good for everyone and good for the earth, too”
De Blasio added, “We know that we’re going to have to do a lot to fight global warming.”
Right, because nothing says ‘fighting global warming’ like flying a bunch of tropical fruits and vegetables into New York.
“The kids told me that the food tastes better now that they have meatless options…and they’re excited to eat…always want our kids to eat their veggies and now they’re actually doing it.”
Wow. Bill de Blasio managed to find the only children on the planet who prefer broccoli to burgers.
Look — I like a good burger as much as the next guy. But our @NYCSchools students know that livestock farming produces 20 – 50% of greenhouse gas emissions. That’s why they demanded #MeatlessMondays. Saving our planet is about saving their future.#EarthDaypic.twitter.com/dWeHZ1m8nE
The Democrats want to control every aspect of our lives and are waging war on meat eaters by pushing vegan diets onto Americans — Veganism is just a form of starvation.
Bill de Blasio, Cory Booker and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sure sound a lot like North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, who fed his people fake meat dubbed “injogogi,” to help North Koreans survive the decades of famine.
“Injogogi” means “man-made meat” — in other words, it’s similar to what vegan Cory Booker eats and now the Democrat Communist lawmakers want us to eat it too.
