George Gascón is often referred to as the “Godfather of progressive prosecutors.” While serving as San Francisco’s District Attorney, he won the support of several liberal financiers, including mega-donor George Soros and several deep-pocketed philanthropists from the Bay Area. Now, they are backing his current campaign to take over the nation’s largest prosecutor’s office in […]
Democrats are freaked out about Amy Coney Barrett joining the Supreme Court. But don’t let their fretting fool you, because as Glenn Beck reveals, the Left is doing just fine in the federal and state courts. In fact, the Left is thriving.
Tonight at 9 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. CT, Glenn shows how Democrats successfully created chaos with their massive push for mail-in voting. Now they’re working overtime to change voting rules across the nation, taking advantage of friendly courts and judges to legislate from the bench. It’s all about election insurance, tweaking the state voting systems to make Joe Biden’s path to victory easier – including, in many states, rigging the ballot.
While Big Tech, Democrats, and the media insist mail-in voting is trustworthy and there’s nothing to see here, Glenn exposes how mail-in voting is already going off the rails in many states and uncovers the left-wing forces behind the massive litigation war being waged by Democrats to permanently change the way you vote.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden told local station WKRC in Cincinnati on Monday that some voters "probably shouldn’t" support him. In this clip, Biden questioned the memory of voters who thought they were better off economically under President Trump than under former President Barack Obama.
"Their memory is not very good, quite frankly," Biden told WKRC.
According to a Gallup poll, 56% of voters felt their financial situation improved under President Trump’s administration.

With the story circulating for hours online Wednesday, the Biden campaign had yet to dispute the veracity of a New York Post story detailing how Hunter Biden had exchanged emails with a Ukrainian energy executive talking about exploiting his relationship with his vice-presidential father, Joe Biden. And being the loyal Democratic foot soldiers that they were, ABC, CBS, and NBC all censored the bombshell from their evening newscasts.
As one would expect, Fox News Channel’s Special Report didn’t play favorites like the liberal broadcasters and covered the possible “October surprise,” as dubbed by anchor Bret Baier. “An explosive story at a critical stage in this presidential campaign, newly released emails allegedly from Joe Biden’s son Hunter’s computer leading to Capitol Hill investigators starting a probe,” announced senior political correspondent Mike Emanuel.
Concerning what the Biden campaign has said about the veracity of what was found on Hunter’s alleged laptop, Emanuel reported they only disputed that an alleged meeting did not take place with Vadym Pozharskyi, a top Burisma official. “The Biden campaign says it has reviewed Joe Biden’s official schedules from the time and no meeting ever took place,” he told viewers.
They don’t seem to dispute another email that showed the exploitation of Hunter’s influence on his father:
There’s also a May 12, 2014 email from Pozharskyi that mentions to Hunter Biden, quote, “we urgently need your advice on how you can use their influence to convey a message, signal, et cetera to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions.”
That’s not to mention the veracity of the other disturbing material found in the computer, as reported by the Post:
Other material extracted from the computer includes a raunchy, 12-minute video that appears to show Hunter, who’s admitted struggling with addiction problems, smoking crack while engaged in a sex act with an unidentified woman, as well as numerous other sexually explicit images.
It’s really no wonder the liberal networks were hiding this extremely damaging information from their viewers. Especially since there could be a federal investigation underway in Delaware.
“We understand that it’s has been in the FBI’s possession since December 2019, it’s not entirely clear how this ended up getting to an attorney with ties to Rudy Giuliani,” Emanuel reported. “The FBI is not talking about its possession of it, it turned over to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Delaware which would not confirm nor deny that an investigation was underway.”
And since they refused to cover the Post’s bombshell, by extension they couldn’t talk about Orwellian censorship from Facebook and Twitter as they tried to frantically stop the story from spreading. That was covered by Fox News Channel’s media correspondent Howard Kurtz.
But Baier also spoke with Louisiana Senator John Kennedy (R) about how serious the allegations were. And in typical Kennedy fashion, he found them “as serious as four heart attacks and a stroke.” He went on (Click “expand”):
SEN. JOHN KENNEDY (R-LA): Three points, Bret. Number one, these accusations are as serious as four heart attacks and a strokes. Now, we are talking about a major party nominee for president of the United States of America with an election right around the corner. And every single responsible news organization needs to be investigating the veracity of these allegations and these emails.
Number two, The New York Post is a responsible, reputable news organization. It is subject to the libel laws and the defamation laws of our country. It’s social media it’s playing favorites and trying to pick winners and losers and discriminating against The New York Post because it doesn’t like the article. That is wrong, if that’s what’s going on.
Number three, while we’re trying to figure this out, here’s what we do know and it’s important. President Obama put Vice President Biden in charge of America’s foreign affairs with two countries, Ukraine and China. And in both cases, his son, Mr. Hunter Biden walked away with millions of dollars of contracts. I’m not accusing anybody of anything, but I’m telling you this: This is the message that is sent to the rest of the world. The foreign policy of the United States of America can be bought like a sack of potatoes and that’s a disservice to America and to the world!
As Kennedy was wrapping up his comments, he demanded that the press also look into the allegations. Baier assuring him, “we promise you we are in the process of digging as well.”
The complete network blackout to protect their candidate for president was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Fisher Investments on ABC, Allegra on CBS, Downy on NBC. Their contact information is linked so you can tell them about the biased news they’re funding. CBS Evening News has also asked people to text anchor Norah O’Donnell at this number: (202) 217-1107.

Fox News Channel’s Special Report
October 14, 2020
6:00:18 p.m. Eastern
BRET BAIER: Good evening and welcome to Washington, I’m Bret Baier. Breaking tonight: We are following two major stories. There are serious questions for Joe Biden this evening following the publication of emails allegedly belonging to his son Hunter that contradict or seem to the nominee’s insistence that two never discussed business dealings with Ukraine.
There are concerns about the authenticity about how this hard drive makes it to the FBI, but as we look into that, two social media giants are hitting pause on the potential viral story until fact-checkers way in and that’s creating its own uproar. We’ll look into that as well.
(…)
6:04:11 p.m. Eastern
BAIER: The election cycle tradition of an October surprise possibly being fulfilled tonight by the allegation that Joe Biden may have had a meeting he has vehemently denied, the Biden campaign still denies it tonight. But emails allegedly from his son Hunter Biden said the meeting was at least being set up. This about Hunter Biden and a powerful Ukrainian businessman.
We’re looking into this story, but we have Fox team coverage tonight. Howard Kurtz tells us how social media is dealing with what many are saying censoring this story. But first, senior political correspondent Mike Emanuel has the specifics. What do we know Mike?
MIKE EMANUEL: Well Bret, good evening. An explosive story at a critical stage in this presidential campaign, newly released emails allegedly from Joe Biden’s son Hunter’s computer leading to Capitol Hill investigators starting a probe.
[Cuts to video]
The Senate Homeland Security Committee is now investigating a hard drive brought forward by a whistle-blower. An attorney for Rudy Giuliani tells Fox News a computer repair man came forward with a laptop and hard drive that he says belong to Hunter Biden. He claims it was dropped off at a shop and never picked up.
Fox is told it had an estimated 40,000 emails, 1,000 text messages, and salacious photos, and videos of the former Vice President’s son. Now investigators are working with the whistle-blower to confirm the information. He is legally blind, uses a monocle to do his job, and cannot confirm it was Hunter who dropped off the laptop.
SHOP OWNER: I saw stuff. And I was concerned. I was concerned that somebody might want to come look for this stuff eventually. And I wanted it out of my shop.
REPORTER: And the stuff were images? Or the stuff were, was text? Emails?
SHOP OWNER: A little bit of both.
EMANUEL: Fox News has obtained an April 17, 2015 email, a source tells Fox it came from the computer in question, it’s from Vadym Pozharskyi a senior official from Ukrainian energy firm Burisma. He thanks Hunter Biden for inviting him to Washington and, quote, "Giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent some time together." When Joe Biden was vice president. The Biden campaign says it has reviewed Joe Biden’s official schedules from the time and no meeting ever took place. But this has been a very sensitive subject.
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE: Do you think it was wrong for him to take that position–
JOE BIDEN: No.
GUTHRIE: — knowing that it was really because that company wanted access to you?
BIDEN: Well, that’s not true. You’re saying things you do not know what you’re talking about, no one said that. Who said that?
[Crosstalk]
BIDEN: Who said that?
EMANUEL: There’s also a May 12, 2014 email from Pozharskyi that mentions to Hunter Biden, quote, “we urgently need your advice on how you can use their influence to convey a message, signal, et cetera to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions.”
At that time, Hunter Biden was reportedly being paid up to $50,000 per month by Burisma while his father, the Vice President was the point man for the Obama administration on Ukraine.
BIDEN: I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.
EMANUEL: Less than a year after that alleged 2014 meeting where Hunter evidently introduced Pozharskyi to his father, a Ukrainian prosecutor was fired, something Joe Biden bragged about in 2018.
BIDEN: Now look, I said, we’re leaving in six hours, if the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch, he got fired.
[Cuts back to live]
EMANUEL: The Trump campaign notes the Biden campaign doesn’t dispute the authenticity of the emails. Fox has reached out to Pozharskyi to ask if these are his emails and we have not gotten a response. Bret.
BAIER: Mike. So, we know the owner turns it over to the FBI, do we know the providence of that, how it happens, when it happens?
EMANUEL: We understand that it’s has been in the FBI’s possession since December 2019, it’s not entirely clear how this ended up getting to an attorney with ties to Rudy Giuliani. The FBI is not talking about its possession of it, it turned over to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Delaware which would not confirm nor deny that an investigation was underway.
We understand that there was some concern about whether the FBI had kept it, whether they had fully scrubbed it or what. And so, a guy kept a copy of it and then passed it on to Rudy Giuliani’s camp and thus it is ended up in public domain, at least part of it.
BAIER: 20 days from an election.
(…)
6:25:23 p.m. Eastern
BAIER: All right Senator, I want to ask you about this other story that’s breaking in The New York Post, I’m sure you’ve read it, about these emails allegedly from Hunter Biden’s computer that talk about a meeting with Joe Biden and what the company expects Hunter Biden to do for it. There’s other stuff on that computer as well.
We can’t get to the provenance of how it gets to the FBI and how it gets to Rudy Giuliani through an attorney. We’re trying to dig into this and a lot to learn. But Twitter and Facebook have prevented people from linking to it, I want to get your take on the story and about the social media reaction to it.
SEN. JOHN KENNEDY (R-LA): Three points, Bret. Number one, these accusations are as serious as four heart attacks and a stroke. Now, we are talking about a major party nominee for president of the United States of America with an election right around the corner. And every single responsible news organization needs to be investigating the veracity of these allegations and these emails.
Number two, The New York Post is a responsible, reputable news organization. It is subject to the libel laws and the defamation laws of our country. It’s social media it’s playing favorites and trying to pick winners and losers and discriminating against The New York Post because it doesn’t like the article. That is wrong, if that’s what’s going on.
Number three, while we’re trying to figure this out, here’s what we do know and it’s important. President Obama put Vice President Biden in charge of America’s foreign affairs with two countries, Ukraine and China. And in both cases, his son, Mr. Hunter Biden walked away with millions of dollars of contracts. I’m not accusing anybody of anything, but I’m telling you this: This is the message that is sent to the rest of the world. The foreign policy of the United States of America can be bought like a sack of potatoes and that’s a disservice to America and to the world!
BAIER: We’re this close to an election, we’re trying to get to the authenticity of these emails — the Biden campaigns says the meeting didn’t happen by their calendar, they haven’t pushed back on the authenticity of the computer. But do you have problems, Senator, that the Treasury Department called the man that was meeting with Rudy Giuliani an active Russian agent for more than a decade, do you have problems with the story 20 days to the election as we are looking into the authenticity of all of this?
KENNEDY: Well, I think many people have questions right now, Bret. We want to get this right, it’s important that we get this right but there is an answer. Every responsible news organization in America and frankly the world needs to be investigating the veracity of these accusations and those emails. This is important and we need to get this right. And that’s why we have the First Amendment and why we have a free and fair — supposedly fair media.
BAIER: Senator Kennedy, we appreciate your time, we promise you we are in the process of digging as well.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas argued that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) is applied too broadly to social media companies in a recent letter. The law, which was passed at the beginning of the dot-com era, allows internet companies to avoid liability for content that has been posted by users on their platform. According to Thomas, “many courts have construed the law broadly to confer sweeping immunity on some of the largest companies in the world.”
According to a report by Axios, Justice Clarence Thomas suggested that Section 230 of the CDA should be narrowed. Section 230 grants broad legal protections to social media companies with regard to content posted by users.
In a statement issued in response to a petition for writ of certiorari, Justice Thomas argued that Section 230 declares that social media platforms are not “publishers,” which means that they cannot be held liable for content posted by their users. Some industry analysts have suggested that platforms should be responsible for certain content on their platform, and for the censorship of content from their platforms, an act that makes them a publisher instead of a platform.
Enacted at the dawn of the dot-com era, §230 contains two subsections that protect computer service providers from some civil and criminal claims. The first is definitional. It states, “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” §230(c)(1). This provision ensures that a company (like an e-mail provider) can host and transmit thirdparty content without subjecting itself to the liability that sometimes attaches to the publisher or speaker of unlawful content.
Justice Thomas went on to argue that many courts around the nation have construed the law too broadly, offering liability protection to some of the most powerful companies in the world.
“When Congress enacted the statute, most of today’s major Internet platforms did not exist. And in the 24 years since, we have never interpreted this provision,” Justice Thomas wrote. “But many courts have construed the law broadly to confer sweeping immunity on some of the largest companies in the world.”
Breitbart News reported in June that the Department of Justice was preparing a proposal that would repeal Section 230 of the CDA. A reversal would likely have a major impact on popular social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
Stay tuned to Breitbart News for more updates on this story.
Former White House physician Ronny Jackson believes that former Vice President Joe Biden lacks the “mental capacity” required to be commander in chief. “He is not up to the job,” Jackson told reporters Tuesday in a conference call organized by President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, The Washington Times reported. “I’ve watched Joe Biden on the…
Former Vice President Joe Biden’s official public schedule shows several gaps during which he could have met with a Burisma adviser in 2015, despite claims by the Biden campaign that the meeting could not have happened because it was not on Biden’s “official schedules.”
On Wednesday morning, the New York Postreported that Biden had met with an official from Burisma, the corrupt Ukrainian energy company on whose board Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, served in a highly-paid position.
The Post cited an email it obtained from an abandoned hard drive that appeared connected to Hunter Biden.
The former vice president had previously denied ever speaking to his son about his overseas business interests. The campaign pushed back against the Post report, saying there was no such meeting on Biden’s “official schedules.”
But Breitbart News contribute Peter Schweizer told conservative radio host Mark Levin on Wednesday evening that Biden’s schedule had enough gaps in it that day to hold other meetings.
The date of the meeting would appear to be April 16 or 17. The Post reported that the email was sent on April 17, 2015:
The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.
“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.
The time of the email was 6:00 a.m. PDT — 9:00 a.m. EDT. It refers tossing Hunter Biden “yesterday,” so the meeting likely occurred on the 16th, though it could have happened early the 17th, or earlier in the week.
Biden’s schedules for that week leave ample room for other meetings, in between speeches and official events.
As Breitbart News reported earlier Wednesday, Biden has certainly taken other meetings that were not on his official schedule.
Schweizer told Levin that the gaps in the schedule make Biden’s denial implausible.
“Now, if you’re gonna have a sleazy meeting with somebody, are you gonna put that on your official schedule?” Levin asked.
“You can look at Joe Biden’s schedule that day. You know what it has? It has two gaps that are three hours or more.”

"This Is Straight Up Election Interference" – Furious Conservatives Slam Facebook For Suppressing Hunter Biden Expose Tyler Durden
Wed, 10/14/2020 – 11:29
Update (1150ET): More high-profile conservatives have lashed out at Facebook for censoring the story about Hunter Biden.
This is straight-up election interference by @Facebook, being announced by their comms person who touts in his bio numerous past jobs with Dems. Big Tech is openly trying to rig this election for Biden & should be held accountable immediately. @FCC@senjudiciary@SenateCommercehttps://t.co/NO2eG6D6K0
Holy bleeping bleep. Facebook explicitly admitting it is protecting Biden — and interfering in the presidential election — by censoring media outlets and limiting discussion of today’s breaking news about Biden’s engagement with Burisma. https://t.co/nF07qqyc5J
Facebook is openly admitting its interference in a U.S. presidential election by blatantly censoring media outlets that print negative facts about their preferred presidential candidate, Joe Biden. Terrifying. https://t.co/nF07qqyc5J
The most Pravda-like thing is that the immediate pushback by Biden’s many allies in Big Media and Big Tech serve as confirmation of the story and how damaging it is to the Biden campaign. If it weren’t true, they’d just say that, rather than censor its distribution.
Of course, Facebook isn’t alone: Twitter is also keeping the story out of its trending topics menu.
Twitter clearly also part of Big Tech’s presidential election interference and their censorship of the negative facts surrounding Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. https://t.co/2bGKIEv5K5
Update (1145ET): Rumor has it that one of the lewd videos mentioned earlier features Hunter Biden smoking crack and having sexual relations with an unidentified woman.
11. Allegedly, the laptop Hunter "forgot" to pick up also contains a 12 minute video of him smoking crack and having sex with an unidentified woman.
Update (1115ET): In a surprising move to censor a mainstream media outlet known for leaning conservative, Facebook’s platform managers have decided to actively suppress distribution of the latest Hunter Biden expose.
While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.
— Trump War Room – Text TRUMP to 88022 (@TrumpWarRoom) October 14, 2020
Republicans and conservatives across Twitter and elsewhere also expressed their dismay at the decision.
While CEO Mark Zuckerberg has acknowledged that Facebook has some obligation to censor or root out "misinformation", this story isn’t what that is. Keep in mind, Facebook censored ZERO stories about the Russia investigation and its origins, even as some key elements of the NYT’s early reporting were found to be false.
Facebook, as a matter of policy, is now censoring stories detailing documented corruption by Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.
At no point did Facebook ever seek to throttle the reach of any Russian-disinformation-fueled stories falsely alleging collusion. https://t.co/N8ktaqCn2J
Twitter is censoring the president and shadow-banning conservatives, Facebook is blocking negative stories about Joe Biden and his crackhead son, and Google is kow-towing to communist China, in case you were wondering whether Big Tech is conspiring to steal the 2020 election.
To be sure, mainstream media are abiding with a near-blackout, just as we had anticipated.
Any time legacy media drops a supposed "bombshell" on Trump, it immediately hits the front pages.
Still waiting on NYT, WaPo, and CNN however to write anything on the @nypost‘s actual bombshell on Joe Biden lying about what he knew of his son’s overseas business interests. pic.twitter.com/amcilH0cv0
It’s like veteran political journalist Matt Taibbi (hardly a conservative) has argued: best-case, enforcing "misinformation" is a laborious game of whack-a-mole. But right now, it’s just simply opening the companies to accusations of bias because that’s what they are showing.
* * *
Update (1006ET): Due to the gravity of its claims, the NY Post’s Hunter Biden scoop has overshadowed the third day of ACB’s confirmation hearings to become the major political story of the day.
So far, the MSM’s most cogent objection is: ‘if all of this is real, then why wasn’t it in the Senate report? And how long has Giuliani had a copy of the hard drive?’
Things that are sketchy in NYP story on Hunter Biden – why wasn’t this in Ron Johnson report if it’s been in possession for awhile? When did Giuliani acquire it? Giuliani has been everywhere on the but this has been kicking around since late last year and unreleased till now?
And while the NY Post published numerous photos from the hard-drive ranging from the banal to the bizarre, photos of Hunter Biden with a crack/meth pipe in his mouth have gone viral on social media.
Update (0900ET): The White House is celebrating the Wednesday morning NY Post bombshell…
?? BOMBSHELL ? ?
Hunter introduced Joe Biden to a top executive at the Ukrainian energy firm he received $50K/month from!
BIDEN: “I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses. Period.”@JoeBiden LIED. PERIOD‼️ pic.twitter.com/zDy75fxauq
The ‘smoking gun’ email in the NY Post story — even if it is authentic, given the massive red flags — doesn’t actually say what the story says it does.
MSM organizations may have largely ignored findings from a Senate Intel Committee report, released last month, which claimed that some of Hunter Biden’s activities in Ukraine raised "counterintelligence and extortion" concerns. On the day that report dropped, Rep Adam Schiff brushed it aside, accusing his GOP colleagues in the Senate of "promoting the same Russian disinformation", per the New York Post.
Well, we’d be interested to hear what Schiff & Company have to say about this.
In a shocking report based on documents collected by the FBI – but which haven’t been previously disclosed in the press – the New York Post reveals that Hunter Biden introduced his father – then the Vice President of the United States – to a top executive at Burisma, the shady Ukrainian energy firm where Biden once served as a board member.
Emails contained in the report shed new light on Biden’s claims that he successfully forced former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire a public prosecutor named Viktor Shokin. Biden bragged about leveraging $1 billion in US aid to force Poroshenko to fire Shokin, who was opposed by both the US and the EU. However, Shokin was reportedly working on an investigation into the management and executive board of Burisma, a group that included Hunter Biden, and his former business partner Devon Archer, whose conviction on securities fraud charges in the US was recently reinstated.
The emails offer evidence that Hunter Biden did in fact introduce his father to a top executive at Burisma less than a year before the vice president moved to oust Shokin, thereby quashing an investigation into the firm. The meeting is referenced in emails between Vadym Pozharskyi, an advisor to the board of Burisma, who sent Biden an email on April 17, 2015 thanking him for the introduction.
Another email also shows Pozharskyi, believed to be the No. 3 exec at Burisma, asking Biden about how the political scion could "use your influence" to help Burisma.
All of this would seem to undermine Biden’s claim that he has "never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings", which also included extensive dealings in China.
Another email dated on May 12, 2014, shortly after Hunter joined the board, shows Pozharskyi attempting to pressure Biden to use his "political leverage" to help the company. The message included the subject line "urgent issue" and also references an attempted "shakedown" by Ukrainian prosecutors under Poroshenko. According to Pozharskyi, prosecutors in the country had approached a man referred to as "NZ", who was identified by the Post as Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky, who went by the Americanized name "Nicholas".
When "NZ" rebuffed their threats, they proceeded with "concrete actions" including "one or more pretrial proceedings," Pozharskyi wrote.
“We urgently need your advice on how you could use your influence to convey a message / signal, etc .to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions,” he added.
The timing of the email is also notable: It was sent just as Burisma was announcing Biden’s decision to join the executive board.
It’s merely the latest piece of evidence suggesting that the company brought Biden on to manage its "legal affairs" because it likely believed his pull with the US would protect Burisma from these types of prosecutorial "shakedowns".
In addition to the emails, the drive contained photos, some of which were shared with the Post. They spanned from family snaps of Hunter with his father and his kids, to selfies of Biden smoking cigarettes in a variety of unusual poses.
According to the Post, the images and correspondence were taken from the hard drive of a laptop that was dropped off at a repair shop in Delaware, and never retrieved. After seeing what was on the hard drive, the owner of the shop copied it, and turned it over to a lawyer connected with former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani reportedly turned it over to the NY Post over the weekend.
We imagine the MSM will cover up this report, as is standard practice for any concerning information involving Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.
