Month: September 2020

Former Democratic presidential candidate and socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) warned Friday of several plans to ensure that President Trump would be evicted from office next month, though he refused to elaborate on what exactly they entailed.

Appearing on Real Time with Bill Maher, Sanders decried rampant wealth inequality, systemic racism, climate change, and “a whole host of problems,” before addressing a scenario where President Trump refuses to concede an electoral loss.

“There are things that we have to do now to make sure that Biden wins and if Trump attempts to stay in office after losing, there will be a number of plans out there to make sure that he is evicted from office,” he said.

When addressing the same scenario in April, Sanders said he would “mobilize the American people in a way that they’ve never been mobilized before.”

Maher pressed Sanders to stipulate an actual detailed plan, something he claimed Democrats have been relatively silent on.  

“Well, you haven’t heard it because it’s never happened before in American history, so you are asking for a plan to do something that no one has ever had to do before,” Sanders responded.

When pressed further, Sanders stated that the first step is to defeat Trump “badly,” and if he refuses to leave “then we got plan number two and it’s a little bit premature to talk about it.”

While Sanders remained mum on the issue, Democrats have been setting the stage for grim scenarios this coming November whereby even a “clear Trump win” is deemed illegitimate and likely a result of “foreign interference and voter suppression.”

As reported by Breitbart News earlier this month, a massive network of well funded left-wing activists and progressive groups have been training, organizing, and planning to mobilize millions of Americans should President Trump “contest the election results,” refuse to concede, or claim an early victory.

With progressive groups preparing to mobilize for what has been described as a “political apocalypse” full of violence and chaos, and with Hillary Clinton urging Biden not to concede the election “under any circumstances,” the dire “forecasts” of the left are set to become self-fulfilling prophecies.

In case of a Biden win, Sanders also described his intention to punish Republicans who showed “support of authoritarianism,” warning them not to “obstruct us” or “lecture us.”

Once in control of the Senate, the Democrats intend to use it “to represent the needs of the working families of this country,” he stated, adding that only a Democratic-led Senate will “restore faith in American democracy.” 

Planned revenge against Republicans for supporting President Trump has already manifested in a recent plan by Democrats to kill the Senate filibuster, a move which could advance controversial legislation on topics such as gun control and abortion.  

On Saturday, President Trump reiterated his wish for a peaceful, legal electoral process.

“I want to see a very peaceful transition, but it’s got to be a legal process,” said Trump.

Despite focusing on a backlash among U.S. citizens over misconduct strictly on the part of President Trump, Maher admitted that regardless of who wins “there will be trouble in the streets.”

A Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, official appointed by Democrat Mayor Jim Kenney was charged with fraudulently obtaining American citizenship via marriage fraud and stealing $15,000 through bank embezzlement, federal prosecutors allege.

Liberian-born Christian Dunbar, 40-years-old, was appointed as Philadelphia City Treasurer last year by Kenney after spending years as a top financial adviser at Wells Fargo. In charging documents, United States Attorney William McSwain accused Dunbar of fraudulently obtaining American citizenship and committing bank embezzlement while at Wells Fargo.

According to prosecutors, Dunbar and his Senegal-born wife each entered into sham marriages with American citizens to obtain green cards, and eventually American citizenship, for themselves and their family.

In December 2006, Dunbar and his wife each married American citizens in separate ceremonies. The two individuals who married Dunbar and his wife were classmates of theirs at Temple University and the officiant of the marriages was a Temple University professor.

Dunbar, prosecutors allege, applied for a green card in February 2012. Months later, in October, he was granted a green card by the United States Citizenship and Immigration (USCIS) before applying to become an American citizen in 2015.

Prosecutors allege that Dunbar and his wife married each other in her native country of Senegal in June 2013 while Dunbar was still legally married to an American citizen in the U.S. Dunbar and his wife are listed as the married parents of their child, born in 2014.

Then, in January 2016, Dunbar was able to secure American citizenship. Two months later, Dunbar filed for divorce with the American citizen he originally married in 2006.

Before becoming Philadelphia City Treasurer, a job he has since been fired from, Dunbar allegedly stole $15,000 from two of his Wells Fargo clients by embezzling the money into his own personal bank account in December 2015 and January 2016.

Dunbar, prosecutors allege, got both clients to sign documents, including blank withdrawal slips, that he later used to withdraw cash from their bank accounts in order to redirect the money into his account.

Dunbar faces up to 45 years in federal prison and $1.5 million in fines if convicted.

A family in Stow, Ohio, got the surprise of a lifetime during a high school football game over the weekend.

Sgt. First Class Michael Jarosz has been deployed in Kuwait with the National Guard for the past 18 months, according to News 5 Cleveland.

That changed Friday night thanks to some help from the community.

Jarosz’s daughter, Erica, was drumming with the Stow-Munroe Falls High School band at halftime. After the performance she and her family were pulled in front of the crowd, WTSP reported.

“I thought I was in trouble, I really did,” she recalled. “I started freaking out, I thought someone in my family passed and I was freaking out.”

However, when someone removed the Bulldog mascot’s head, it was not a student wearing the costume, but her beloved dad who was not supposed to come home until next week.

The crowd erupted in cheers and applauded as the family hugged each other and cried, overjoyed to be together again after such a long separation.

“We needed this,” said Jarosz’s wife, Jen, who helped plan the surprise.

“It’s like heart-warming, it’s like a tear-jerking moment. It’s hard to explain. You can’t put it into words, it’s just a good feeling,” her husband commented.

The sergeant does not like a lot of attention but told the Akron Beacon Journal it was worth it, especially for his younger children.

“Hopefully, they don’t knock me down,” he said prior to the event.

Jarosz will be at home until his next deployment, but noted he did not know when that would happen.

In the meantime, he and his family will enjoy their time together.

“It’s a feel-good story that a lot of people need right now,” said Stow Athletic Director Cyle Feldman, who also helped plan the reunion.

Left-wing Hollywood celebrities wasted little time Saturday launching a social media offensive against President Donald Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to succeed the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the U.S. Supreme Court. Not only did they attack her judicial record, they also launched personal insults.

“Amy is like a hybrid of Aunt Lydia and a Stepford wife,” Grammy-winning singer Diane Warren tweeted, referring to the Aunt Lydia villain in The Handmaid’s Tale.

“How much chalk can one blackboard stand?” actress Ellen Barkin tweeted, referring to Barrett’s voice.

“RBG turning in her grave,” actor Adam Goldberg tweeted.

Amy Coney Barrett, 48, currently serves as a judge on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. A former clerk for Justice Antonin Scalia, Barrett takes a strict “originalist” view of the Constitution that prioritizes the original text over subsequent interpretations. Her nomination is President Trump’s third pick for the high court, following Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

Left-wingers fear Barrett’s positions on the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, as well as abortion, due to her strong Catholic faith. Some have already launched smears against her and her family, questioning why Barrett and her husband adopted two children from Haiti.

Hollywood elites eagerly joined the left-wing pile-on. Singer Diane Warren compared Barrett to Aunt Lydia from The Handmaid’s Tale, while also likening her to a Stepford wife.

Actress Ellen Barkin mocked Barrett’s voice and used the hashtag #stfuacb — as in, “shut the fuck up, Amy Coney Barrett.”

Actor Adam Goldberg claimed that the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg would be upset about Barrett’s nomination, even though Ginsburg was a close personal friend of Scalia.

Actor Jeffrey Wright called Barrett’s nomination “disgraceful.”

Actor Alec Baldwin insisted that Judge Barrett “is only another card that the Psycho turns over to destroy the Constitution.”

Debra Messing claimed that the president is pushing Barrett’s nomination so that “she can vote him in w/ contested election results.”

Actor Jon Cryer called Republican senators “lying, racist hypocrites” for their decision to hold a vote on Barrett’s nomination.

Actress Patricia Arquette appeared to allude to Barrett’s stance on abortion.

Comedian Sandra Bernhard tweeted the hashtag #NoSCOTUSforAmy.

Actor Ethan Embry claimed that Barrett is “unqualified” despite her impressive career on the bench and respect from those who disagree with her decisions.

Actress Kristen Johnston said that women are “fucked,” referring to Barrett’s association with the Catholic community known as People of Praise.

General Hospital star Nancy Lee Grahn spread the debunked theory that People of Praise was the inspiration for The Handmaid’s Tale. Novelist Margaret Atwood has written that she was inspired to write the novel after visiting Afghanistan and seeing the oppressive Islamist clothing that women were forced to wear.

Delaware State University (DSU) has refuted Joe Biden’s claim that he attended the historically black institution — the latest example of Biden being caught embellishing his academic credentials.

Biden made the little-noticed claim in October 2019, as he was campaigning in South Carolina:

The Washington Times reported Friday:

Carlos Holmes, director of news service for Delaware State, said that Mr. Biden was never a student, although he has made appearances twice on campus for commencement speeches at the public university in Dover, one of the nation’s historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

“Vice President Biden did not attend DSU,” said Mr. Holmes in a Thursday email. “However he was the Commencement keynote speaker in 2003 and [2016], and during the former he was awarded an honorary doctoral degree.”

Mr. Biden made the claim ahead of the South Carolina Democratic primary during a town hall held Oct. 26, 2019, at historic Wilson High School in Florence, which was founded in 1866 by the Freedmen’s Bureau for Black children seeking an education.

“I got started out of an HBCU, Delaware State — now, I don’t want to hear anything negative about Delaware State,” Mr. Biden told the audience, drawing laughter, as shown on video. “They’re my folks.”

In his 2007 biography, Promises to Keep, Biden never mentions Delaware State University, though he describes his experience at the University of Delaware.

The university’s website notes:

DSU enjoys a long history as one of America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Founded in 1891 as the State College for Colored Students, DSU is proud of our heritage as one of the country’s first land-grant educational institutions. Today, we’re a welcome center of learning for students from many backgrounds. Our current population includes a 63% African-American enrollment and an increasing number of Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian and other international students.

Public statistics suggest that nearly 10% of the student body today is white.

Biden’s false claims about his academic record helped destroy his first presidential campaign in 1987. Among other claims, Biden said he had graduated in the top half of his law school class. He graduated near the bottom.
