7/1/2021 In A First, U.S. Warns Of Dangers Of Systemic Racism In Human Trafficking Report by Daphne Psaledakis and Jonathan Landay

in Persons (TIP) Report at the State Department in Washington, U.S., July 1, 2021. REUTERS/Ken Cedeno/Pool
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -An annual U.S. State Department report released on Thursday said discriminatory policies perpetuated human trafficking, drawing a link between the two for the first time.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in the Trafficking in Persons report that systemic racism creates inequities, in turn undercutting Washington’s battle against human trafficking.
“If we’re serious about ending trafficking in persons, we must also work to combat systemic racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination,” Blinken said.
A State Department official said it was the first time the report drew a connection to systemic racism.
The United States has been re-examining its treatment of African Americans since nationwide protests last year sparked by the murder of George Floyd, a Black man, by a white police officer.
U.S. authorities have also warned of increased threats from white supremacist groups.
The report cited the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on human trafficking, as traffickers capitalized on the pandemic and governments diverted resources to fight the health crisis.
The report looked at countries and territories and ranked them into four tiers, downgrading countries such as Ethiopia but upgrading others.
ETHIOPIA
The United States faulted Ethiopia for not demonstrating increased efforts to eliminate trafficking.
The report highlighted the conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray region that has killed thousands of people, displaced more than 2 million people and pushed hundreds of thousands to the brink of famine.
The report said that since the conflict began in November, international organizations increasingly reported armed actors were responsible for committing human rights abuses and gender-based violence, including potential trafficking crimes.
Ethiopians seeking asylum in Sudan were increasingly vulnerable to trafficking and unaccompanied children in the conflict areas may be vulnerable to recruitment by non-state armed groups, the report also warned.
BELARUS
Belarus was cited for “key achievements” even if, as the report said, resident Alexander Lukashenko’s government did not “fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking.”
The report made no mention of Lukashenko’s brutal crackdown on ongoing protests over his claim of victory in a 2020 presidential election widely seen as being rigged.
SAUDI ARABIA
Saudi Arabia, a key U.S. ally in the Middle East, was cited for “making significant efforts” toward eliminating human trafficking, the report said.
However, the government failed to meet minimum standards in a number of areas, including fining, jailing and deporting foreign workers for prostitution or immigration violations even though many may have been trafficking victims, the report said.
ISRAEL
The report said Israel, Washington’s closest Middle Eastern ally, had worked to eliminate human trafficking, but its efforts “were not serious and sustained” compared to the previous reporting period even accounting for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Victim identification policies “sometimes re-traumatized” victims and delayed their access to necessary care, sometimes for years, while the government reduced its overall efforts to investigate, prosecute and convict traffickers, it said.
CHINA
The report repeated past charges that China has “a government policy or pattern of widespread forced labor,” including through the continued mass arbitrary detention of more than one million ethnic Uyghurs and other Muslims in the western region of Xinjiang, where the United States has accused Beijing of committing genocide against the minorities.
TURKEY
The United States added Turkey to the list of countries implicated in the use of child soldiers over the past year, placing a NATO ally for the first time in such a list, in a move likely to further complicate fraught ties between Ankara and Washington.
MALAYSIA
The State Department downgraded Malaysia to the worst ranking after a string of complaints by rights groups and U.S. authorities over the alleged exploitation of migrant workers in plantations and factories.

President Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) recently took aim at the Biden administration for causing the crisis at the southern border. While visiting Texas on Wednesday, the 45th president received a border security briefing and held a roundtable before heading to the wall to get a first hand look at the situation.
During his visit, President Trump spoke about his work securing the U.S. southern border and the success of his administration in stemming the flow off illegal immigrants and drugs. Meanwhile, Abbott called on the Biden administration to address the crisis instead of making it worse.
“Things have changed so quickly and so dramatically under the Biden administration; it has been amazing and disastrous,” stated the Texas governor. “And now we have an open, really dangerous border; more dangerous than it’s ever been in the history of our country and we better go back fast.”
The leaders then headed to the border wall, where progress stopped when Biden took office, to get a first-hand look at the situation. The site has been one of the main areas of entry for illegal immigrants pouring in the U.S.

7/1/2021 Ariz. State Senate To Subpoena Election Routers, Passwords To Complete Audit by OAN Newsroom

Arizona election audit spokesman Randy Pullen said the state senate will subpoena the routers and passwords that are still being withheld by election officials. He announced the state’s plans to issue the subpoena on Wednesday while noting it has been difficult to complete the audit without information on the routers and passwords.
“We have none of that information has been provided to us, and it’s something that the Senate will have to go back to the county and request those items,” explained the spokesman. “So again, it’s very difficult to complete the audit without getting that information.”
Pullen said state senators will determine the timeline for the examination of electronic equipment that was used during the 2020 elections in Arizona. He confirmed the ballot count is now complete, but some electronic data is still raising questions.
“A few minor things still need to be done with respect to some software additions they made,” Pullen stated. “We got some additional information for the county. Apparently there was a difference on how many duplicate ballots there were per batch, so they gave us a new list and so we had to create software that took that data and compared it to our data to deal with the duplicate ballots.”
The state Senate is expected to issue subpoenas in coming days. Additionally, Maricopa County recently announced plans to replace all of its subpoenaed election equipment while noting the county will “never use compromised equipment that could pose a risk to free and fair elections.”
While Arizona Republicans believe it is a step in the right direction, the replacement of equipment is not going to undo the mistakes already made. They argue if the machines are not able to undergo a forensic audit to verify the presidential election results then they never should have been approved to be used in an election in the first place.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) revealed the names of several lawmakers she is appointing to her Jan. 6 commission. At a press briefing on Thursday, Pelosi listed the names of several Democrats.
These included Reps. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), Elaine Luria (D-Va.). Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) and Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.).
Also among the picks were Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) who both led impeachment efforts against President Trump. Pelosi also picked a Republican to fill one of the seats.
“Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) of the Armed Services Committee has patriotically agreed to serve on the committee,” said Pelosi of her Republican choice. “We are very honored and proud that she has agreed to serve on the committee.”
In the meantime, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) will have the opportunity to name five members to sit on the commission. However, his choices will need to be approved by Pelosi.

7/2/2021 State Dept. Voices Concern Regarding China’s Growing Nuclear Arsenal by OAN Newsroom

U.S. officials are sounding the alarm on China’s growing nuclear arsenal. Specifically, the State Department voiced concern over the rapid expansion. During a press briefing on Thursday, State Department spokesperson Ned Price urged Beijing to reduce its nuclear arms.
According to a Washington Post report on Wednesday, Chinese officials have started construction on roughly 100 new missile silos located in a western desert region of the country. Price said the build-up of China’s nuclear arsenal is concerning and is raising questions on their intentions.
“These reports and other developments suggests that the PRC’s (People’s Republic of China’s) nuclear arsenal will grow more quickly and to a higher level than perhaps previously anticipated,” stated the U.S. official. “This buildup, it is concerning. It raises questions about the PRC’s intents and for us, it reinforces the importance of pursuing practical measures to reduce nuclear risks.”
Price went on to stress the importance of nuclear power talks between nations in hopes of reducing nuclear dangers and avoiding miscalculations.
This comes as a report by NBC News alleged the Chinese military has ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The report from last week found a chief Chinese scientist at the Wuhan lab, Shi Zhengli, collaborated with at least two officials with the People’s Liberation Army of China. Her contacts with Chinese military scientists date back to 2018 and 2019. They were related to gain of function research.
The mainstream media has long dismissed the Chinese military’s involvement with COVID-19 as a conspiracy theory, but new evidence appears to confirm such assertions. Meanwhile, congressional Republicans are investigating the Wuhan lab experiments that were reportedly funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) to the tune of $600,000. If the involvement of Chinese military with Wuhan research is confirmed, Dr. Fauci’s actions may raise a national security concern.

A new report by NBC News has confirmed the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s ties to the Chinese military. The report found the lab’s Chief Chinese scientist, Dr. Shi Zhengli, collaborated with at least two officials with the People’s Liberation Army of China.
Dr. Shi is also China’s leading specialist on bat coronaviruses. Her contacts with Chinese military scientists date back to 2018 and 2019. The report noted that they were related to gain of function research. This type of research is used to alter an organism or disease in a way that increases transmissibility.
Mainstream media have long dismissed the Chinese military’s involvement with the outbreak of COVID-19 as a conspiracy theory, but new evidence appears to confirm such assertions.

It appears 130 countries have issued a statement in support of a global minimum tax, in turn, giving backing to a key Biden administration agenda item.
According to reports Thursday, the nations back a plan that was initially discussed during the G7 summit in June. It calls for a global minimum tax rate of 15 percent for corporations headquartered in their countries.
The plan was highly supported by U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen prior to the summit. However, critics have said the plan favors foreign headquartered companies and workers over American ones.
“ That global minimum tax would end the race to the bottom in corporate taxation and ensure fairness for the middle class,” Yellen stated. “And working people in the U.S. and around the world.”
The nations are expected to finalize the plan at the G20 summit later this month.

A Minnesota judge has ordered the city of Minneapolis to address it’s police staffing issues. Reports on Thursday detailed the ruling brought after a group of people sued the city council, citing a rise in crime and stressing the current number of officers is below what the city charter calls for.
Like many departments across the country, officers in Minneapolis have been leaving amid the Black Lives Matter and defund the police movements.
“If the officers themselves are feeling as though they have no support to do their jobs, they’re leaving their jobs. We gotta try harder to come together because this right here, we’re going to destroy this city,” said one of the plaintiffs in a suit against Minneapolis, Cathy Spann.

Officials said the city is expected to have around 670 officers by June 2020, but the judge said the city needs to raise that number to 730. The plaintiffs in the suit called the ruling a “huge victory” for the city’s residents.
Residents say Minneapolis has been in a crisis since the riots in the wake of the death of George Floyd.

New images have surfaced on Hunter Biden’s laptop, calling into question Joe Biden’s claims during his 2020 presidential campaign that he did not discuss international business with his son. Photos published on Thursday appear to show Joe and Hunter Biden with Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim among other executives during a meeting in Washington, D.C.
The photos are believed to have been taken in 2015 when the elder Biden was vice president. The laptop also contains emails that further confirm the meeting took place.
President Trump attempted to draw attention to Hunter’s laptop during his campaign, but was dismissed by mainstream media as a fringe theory.

In an April interview, Hunter claimed there could be “a laptop out there that was stolen from me.” “It could be that I was hacked. It could be that it was the…that it was Russian intelligence. It could be that it was stolen from me,” he said.
Critics have cast doubt on Joe Biden’s claims, accusing both him and his son of a conflict of interest.
7/2/2021 Survey: Majority Of Teachers Say CRT Should Not Be Taught In Schools by OAN Newsroom

Teachers across the U.S. have continued efforts to fight against critical race theory being taught in their schools. Reports on Thursday cited a recent survey showing 55 percent of teachers said the option to teach CRT in K-12 education should not exist.
Parents across the country have also publicly opposed the teachings be added to the curriculum of their children’s education. Almost half of U.S. states have proposed legislation against the indoctrination of children through CRT in public schools.
The survey was conducted by the Association of American Educators and over 1,000 responses from teachers across the country were collected. Results showed 96 percent of schools were not requiring curriculum to include CRT. This suggests the recent frenzy that has been projected by the media does not accurately depict what has been happening in classrooms.
The majority of teachers reported no changes were made to their curriculums regarding race amidst the past year’s CRT movement. In fact, many teachers who submitted to the survey shared concerns the CRT debate was interfering with more constructive discussions addressing race.
Five states have signed bills banning critical race theory from being taught in public schools. Lawmakers in 17 other states have proposed legislation to limit these teachings.

President Donald Trump held a campaign-style rally at the Sarasota Fairgrounds in Florida. Crowds gathered well before the sunrise on Saturday to enter the long-awaited Save America rally.
Taking the podium, Trump condemned the radical left and their intent to defund police departments by slamming Democrats for the mayhem they have brought to their cities. The 45th president urged the crowd to vote red for law, order and justice to be reinstated within the nation.
In addition, Trump took aim at the justice system for targeting people based on their political standing and argued they only seek to prosecute him as well as other Republicans. He went on to slam the Biden administration by comparing his accomplishments while in office.
“But now Joe Biden has intentionally dismantled the border and allowed the cartels, coyotes, child smugglers, woman smugglers…drug dealers, murderers and savage MS-13 gang members to infiltrate our country like never before,” he stated. “It’s never been life this. Think of it six months ago. We had the safest border in history and now we have the worst and most unsafe border in history.”
The 45th president went on to reiterate he won the presidency and added great things will soon happen for our country. His speech was followed by a firework show, with patriotic music and crowds chanting his name.

President Donald Trump took the stage in Sarasota, Florida on Saturday, heading into the Fourth of July weekend, in a massive rally in support of the MAGA agenda. Trump touched on a number of subjects as the 45th president shared his thoughts on everything from the election to China.
Speaking on the southern border, Trump noted how Joe Biden has “intentionally dismantled the border,” allowing cartels, smugglers, drug dealers, murderers and gang members to infiltrate the country. He said just half a year ago the U.S. had the safest border in history and now it has the worst.
“We are witnessing an illegal mass migration that is planned, facilitated, funded, aided and abetted by the far-left Democrats who thanks to a totally rigged and dishonest election, now control the United States government,” Trump announced to the crowd.
Trump went on to call the U.S. election system “sick,” saying he’s not the one trying to undermine American democracy, but rather the one trying to save it. He added, Democrats are working to take away free speech by creating a system for media and online censorship that only showcases the Democrat Party’s view, which he alleged is taking away free speech so the public can’t talk about corrupt elections.

Trump said the Democrats used the COVID-19 pandemic to cheat by illegally changing the rules in key states. Trump also blasted Biden’s tax hikes, calling them the biggest in history while he gave the public the biggest tax decrease in history. He added that before the pandemic hit, he and Republicans built the greatest economy in the history of the world.
“Remember, we passed record-setting tax cuts. We imposed massive regulation cuts. We adopted pro-American energy policies and achieved…oh, it’s so sad to say it because you won’t be seeing it anymore,” stated the 45th president.
Trump also touched on the “defund the police” movement, saying Democrats are using misinformation to put the blame on Republicans. He pointed out how many Jan. 6 protesters have been imprisoned while BLM and Antifa rioters continue to go free.
He also blasted the fraud and conspiracy charges filed against the Trump administration and its’ chief financial officer, calling it a “terrible thing.” Last week, Trump called the charges a “political witch hunt by the radical left,” saying it’s dividing our country like never before.
Trump concluded by saying he’ll continue working to help secure support for Republicans and the MAGA agenda in the 2022 midterms, with the goal of retaking the House and the Senate.
7/4/2021 Ariz. Senators Expect Audit To Reveal ‘Significant’ Fraud

At least two Arizona state senators shared their expectations of the 2020 election audit to reveal significant fraud. In a tweet on Saturday, Sen. Wendy Rogers (R-Ariz.) shared a report, which cited the alleged preliminary results of the Arizona audit.
The report claimed the audit’s results would reveal large discrepancies between the 2020 ballot count and the actual vote.
Rogers stated she and fellow Sen. Sonny Borrelli (R-Ariz.) supported such assessments.
For his part, President Trump has appeared to also support such assessments and asserted Americans have known something was not right with last year’s vote.
“If we lost the election, we would still have a good crowd,” he expressed. “But you know what? I wouldn’t have a crowd that goes beyond what the eye can see, that stays in a thunderstorm…nobody wants to go home.”
Arizona auditors have mentioned their job was not yet finished as they’re set to examine electronic devices used in the 2020 elections.

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) suggested President Trump should testify in front of the January 6 Commission if the investigation led up to that point. Speaking to CNN on Sunday, the Democrat responded to questions as to what would constitute a full investigation of that day.
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made the recent announcement of the members of the committee, seven Democrats and one Republican, who would lead the investigation of the January 6 event. Clyburn believes this pursuit of truth could lead the commission to compel President Trump to testify.
“Oh, if it comes to that, they should go where ever the facts lead,” he stated. “I would not want to see a former president testifying in such a situation as this, but if that’s what it takes in order to get to the bottom of this because this is more than any one person.”
Chair Bennie Thompson of the January 6 committee has yet to rule out Trump to testify. If the 45th president were made to testify, he’d be the first president to testify in front of a congressional committee since Gerald Ford in 1983.
The only Republican currently on the partisan commission is anti-Trump Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.).

New disclosures have shown the Chinese government could have indirectly contributed to Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign. The Biden Center at University of Pennsylvania received $50 million from China after Biden announced his presidential bid in 2018.
According to an analysis conducted by the National Legal and Policy Center, the Biden Center opened in 2017 and received $8 million from China that year. However, after Biden announced he was running for president in 2018, his donations from China soared by nearly 400 percent.
“Federal law requires the disclosure of the source of all donations over $250,00,” Epoch Times investigative reporter Joshua Phillip explained. “It is not clear whether Biden was directly involved in this and the issue of universities accepting large donations from China, including undisclosed donations, is one of the major topics in the US right now.”
Reports citing Hunter Biden’s emails also show Chinese operatives may have been advising Biden’s 2020 campaign in potential violation of U.S. election laws.
7/6/2021 Joe Biden To Send Operatives To Harass Americans Into Taking COVID-19 Vaccines by OAN Newsroom

The Biden administration has threatened to send political operatives to the homes of people who refuse to take an experimental COVID-19 vaccine. On Tuesday, Biden announced his new initiatives to get people vaccinated, which include vaccine stations at gatherings such as sporting events and places of worship as well as door-to-door outreach programs to pressure individuals to get a vaccine.
Biden told reporters he believed mass vaccination would be the only way to stop the virus. He referred to his door-to-door initiative as a way to “help” people, but failed to take into account the possibility most people who wanted to receive the experimental vaccine already have.
“We need to go community-by-community, neighborhood-by-neighborhood, and often times door-to-door,” he announced. “Literally knocking on doors to get help to the remaining people protected from the virus.”
In addition, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki also threatened to send so-called
outreach teams to people’s homes and attempted to justify what some would call an invasion of privacy.
“The President outlined five areas his team is focused on to get more Americans vaccinated,” she explained. “One, targeted community by community door-to-door outreach to get remaining Americans vaccinated by ensuring they have the information they need on how both safe and accessible the vaccine is.”
Biden has failed to achieve his goal of vaccinating 70 percent of Americans by July 4 and currently just under 50 percent have been fully vaccinated.

The identity of the suspected Capitol police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt on January 6 has been named by Babbitt’s family attorney. During an interview on Fox last month, attorney Terrell Roberts said he believed the shooter was the same officer who left his loaded handgun in a public restroom on Capitol Hill back in 2019. Reports identified that officer as Lt. Michael Byrd.
Reports have connected the dots with Officer Byrd’s track record of reckless handling of firearms and suggested he was likely the one responsible for killing Ashli Babbitt. Byrd was also mentioned as being at the scene of the shooting during separate testimony from the Capitol Sergeant at Arms Timothy Blodgett.
“We were in close contact, that situation where officer Byrd was at the door when Ms. Babbitt was shot,” he explained. “It was our Sergeant at Arms employee who rendered the aid to her.”
While the officer has not officially been identified as the shooter, Capitol police did release a statement in his defense, saying “the lieutenant did not know if protesters were armed” and he “believed his life was in danger.” Subsequent investigations found January 6 protesters were unarmed.

Top Democrats seem to be loosening their stance on their opposition to voter identification requirements. During an interview, South Carolina Representative and House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D) said his party is open to the idea as long as it’s “equitable.”
The change in tune comes after West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin (D) proposed a compromise voting rights bill, which pushes for voter I.D. requirements. However, Manchin expands the definition of identification to include using documents like utility bills, not just government issued ID’s and drivers licenses.
Democrats are now jumping to support the Manchin proposal while claiming they supported the measure all along.
“We are always for voter ID, we are never for disproportionate voter ID,” Clyburn stated. “When you tell me that you got to have a photo ID and a photo for a student activity card is not good but for a hunting license it is good, that’s where the rub is.”
However, Democrat lawmakers and activists were quick to criticize several GOP backed voter integrity bills that tout similar requirements as Manchin’s bill.
Several surrogates, including voting rights activist Stacey Abrams, decried a bill in Georgia that called for voter ID requirements and limit mail-in voting. She compared the bill to the suppressive policies enforced in the “Jim Crow south.”
Leftist sympathizers also hailed Democrats in the Texas legislature for walking out on a bill aimed at strengthening the state’s election system, effectively blocking the measure from passing.
Democrats are now trying to switch the narrative by claiming they are only against the most restrictive voter ID rules. They claimed no one has ever opposed voter ID laws, adding it’s been an integral part of the U.S. voting system.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently weighed-in on the state of the country and the direction of America. In a recent interview, he reflected on when people all around the world, including America’s adversaries, all envied the U.S. for being so exceptional in so many ways.
Pompeo went on to discuss the attempts to push Marxist and socialist views to Americans, particularly in universities. He said it’s good for students to be taught about these ideas because they will see those structures have failed in every capacity.
The former secretary of state said a broad array of subjects should be taught in order for students to form judgments, but he’s concerned about some of the things being taught in modern day. He believes critical race theory is just an attempt to divide the country.
“It’s called critical race theory, the 1619 Project, but in the end they’re attacking the central understandings that we have shared together for 245 years,” Pompeo explained. “It’s an attempt to divide the country. If that continues, if that is allowed to flourish and prosper, then we could lose this thing that is so special.”
Pompeo also highlighted how important he believes it is to never take being an American for granted.

President Trump announced a class action lawsuit against tech giants Google, Facebook and Twitter as well as their CEOs. While speaking at a press conference in New Jersey Wednesday, Trump said the suit demands an end to shadowbans and censorship of differing viewpoints.
The 45th president went on to say he believes the case is “very compelling” and has no interest in seeking a settlement before a trial. He added, tech giants are working in conjunction with the mainstream media to suppress opposing views going so far as to ban a sitting president from their platforms.
“There is no better evidence that Big Tech is out of control than the fact that they banned the sitting president of the United States earlier this year, a ban that continues to this day,” Trump stated. “If they can do it to me, they can do it to anyone and, in fact, that is exactly what they’re doing.”
The suit also seeks punitive damages and injunctive relief. Anyone who has been a user of any of the three platforms, have resided in the U.S. between June of 2018 to present day and have had their account banned or censored by the defendants can join the suit.

7/7/2021 White House Deflects Blame For Rising Gas Prices by OAN Newsroom

As Americans continue to voice concern over the sharp rise in national gas prices, it has appeared the Biden administration has different priorities. In a briefing on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked how or if Joe Biden plans to stop this costly trend. This comes as Americans are now paying at least $3 a gallon with prices hitting a 7-year high.
Many Republicans have pointed to Biden’s energy policies, including his restrictions on U.S. oil drilling, as the causes behind the rise in price. However, Psaki went on to say there may be other reasons that the national gas price is up 40 percent since last year.
“I think sometimes there’s a misunderstanding of what causes gas prices to increase and so, to convey to the American people that we’re working on it and certainly the supply availability of oil has a huge impact,” said Psaki.
Meanwhile, during a recent interview, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, Patrick De Haan, said gas prices are expected to increase through August. He predicted they will stay relatively high until the fall. In addition, he believes many Americans who are still grappling with the aftermath of Democrat-led lockdown orders will be forced to dig a bit deeper in their pockets.

President Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, has suggested critical race theory divides children based on the color of their skin. This follows American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten, who accused GOP lawmakers of bullying teachers out of teaching students the truth.
Lara Trump told sources on Thursday, “the bottom line is that anything that would teach us anything but loving our country, loving one another, and judging people based on the content of their character, solely is just flat wrong.” She added, Americans want their children to be taught the truth, but critical race theory promotes judgement based on skin color and is not a positive way of educating young Americans.
Weingarten argued opposition to the implementation of CRT in schools is hurting children’s education, despite major pushback from parents and teachers that believe the curriculum creates more division.
States across the country have passed legislation in response to progressive’s push for CRT in schools, including bills signed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
The legislation DeSantis signed to combat CRT says what is taught “must be factual and objective, and may not suppress or distort significant historical events” Additionally, Gov. Abbott has said laws regarding critical race theory will be a topic Texas lawmakers will revisit during its’ special session.
Meanwhile, Weingarten threated GOP legislation and said she vows there will be legal action to defend teaching what she calls “honest history.”
Critics of CRT, including parents, teachers and lawmakers have continued to fight against its implementation, believing the ideology indoctrinates students, perpetuates division and creates a negative view of America.

According to Rudy Giuliani, Joe Biden’s FBI is unfairly targeting him for exposing rampant fraud in last year’s elections. During an interview Tuesday, the former Trump attorney said asserted that the FBI is not interested is solving actual crimes.
“It’s having raided my house and found nothing,” he stated. “The only incriminating thing in my house are the Hunter Biden hard drives and they wouldn’t take them.”
Giuliani then suggested Democrats have weaponized federal agencies for the purposes of political persecution of conservatives. He also said Hunter Biden committed crimes in several countries, yet the FBI is giving him a pass.
Meanwhile, the former Trump attorney also said he’s fighting the recent suspension of his law licenses in New York and Washington D.C. in court while asserting those decisions were also motivated by politics. On Wednesday, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals suspended Giuliani’s license pending a disciplinary proceeding in New York.
D.C. Bar records show Giuliani was an inactive member in the district and was “in good standing.” Giuliani is currently contesting the decision to ban him from practicing law while citing his investigations into 2020 election fraud as an issue.
“I believe that the real problem here is somebody’s got to fix this double standard justice system, which is not America anymore,” he stated. “This is a one-sided decision not based on evidence, based on newspapers. They haven’t called a single witness. I can call 100 witnesses to support what I’m saying and I’m ready to do it.”
The lawyer claimed the allegations made against him are purely politically motivated and not based on facts. D.C. may reinstate Giuliani’s license following his litigation against his ban in New York.

The FBI quietly released thousands of pages of documents about the murder of Seth Rich.
The files were posted on the FBI Vault website on Thursday following a request by attorney Ty Clevenger.
The heavily redacted documents date back to 2016 when Rich was killed. They include emails between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page who were apparently discussing Rich’s case.
Additionally, unnamed FBI officials were talking about Julian Assange’s assertion that Rich was murdered for leaking Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails. The trove of documents also includes files on the Trump-Russia collusion hoax and the Clinton-tied firm Perkins Coie.br>
It remains unclear why the FBI put those reports together with the Rich murder case.

Joe Biden has fired the Trump-era Social Security Commissioner after he reportedly refused to resign from his position. The White House announced the axe of Andrew Saul amid an ongoing dispute over his stance against unions and conservative policies.
Reports say Biden requested Saul to resign, but the Trump-appointee refused to do so. This led to his official termination.
Saul reportedly questioned the legality of Biden’s decision and argued his position was “term-protected,” while asserting his plans to head into work on Monday.
Many Republican lawmakers have slammed Biden for removing Saul from his position by arguing Saul’s bipartisan backing and warning of Biden politicizing the Social Security Administration. Biden also requested for Social Security Deputy Commissioner David Black to submit his resignation, which Black agreed to.
In response to Saul’s refusal to step down, the White House released a list of grievances against him and claimed his actions undermined the administration’s mission and agenda.

The Pennsylvania Department of State has tried to obstruct the forensic investigation of 2020 elections within the state. Late last week, state election officials sent a directive to individual counties, which urged them to not allow access to outside parties who seek to examine voting systems.
The directive alleged access by forensic teams would “undermine chain of custody.” State GOP lawmakers said the acting Pennsylvania Secretary of State, appointed by Gov. Tom Wolf (D-Pa.), has tried to cover up the evidence of fraud. However, the forensic investigation was set to continue under the subpoena power of the state legislature.
“In the days and weeks leading up to the election last year…we had the Pennsylvania Department of State repeatedly alter the manner in which elections were conducted,” Sen. Doug Mastrian (R-Pa.) explained. “This constantly changing guidance not only contradicted the election code that we voted for, but also conflicted with decisions by both the Pennsylvania and U.S. Supreme Courts.”
State Senate President Jake Corman (R-Pa.) responded to the directive and said it was a partisan decision that contradicts the Senate’s power of oversight.

Several GOP led states have taken steps to block American schools from teaching the divisive critical race theory. According to reports, state lawmakers from six states including Texas, Iowa and Tennessee have successfully passed legislation to ban teaching students that America was inherently racist.
This sparked a nationwide movement aimed at blocking similar curriculums from entering schools. Critics argued the teachings distort U.S. history and violate free speech.
In March, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed a solution to exclude CRT from Sunshine State classrooms. Instead, DeSantis has pushed for a civics education curriculum.
“It’s basically teaching kids to hate our country and to hate each other based on race. It puts race as the most important thing,” he explained. “I want content of character to be the most important thing. I want to treat people as individuals and I want the history of our country taught accurately.”
Meanwhile, several states like Florida are trying to incentivize school boards to drop CRT from their curriculums in ways including giving teachers bonuses for teaching a civics-centered curriculum.
7/12/2021 Biden’s FBI Tells Americans To Report Their Family And Friends, Alleges ‘Homegrown Violent Extremism’ by OAN Newsroom

In a statement on Sunday, the FBI called on Americans to participate in its program to prevent what it called “homegrown violent extremism.” The FBI told people to spy on their relatives and friends and report suspicious behaviors.
This comes after both the FBI and Biden falsely claimed white nationalism posed the biggest threat to homeland security. The statement failed to mention the real threat of Islamic terror, which critics said posed a constitutional problem.
“This must be fake news. They said they’re asking the family to report on their families that they do think some suspicious,” Former Texas Rep. Ron Paul (R) explained. “What if somebody was drinking and was a little bit rude to another member of family? ‘I’ll get you.’ A little bit of that might go on.”
Critics also mentioned the practice of putting friends and family up for persecution by the government was commonplace in East Germany and the Soviet Union. However, political policing comes in contradiction with American freedoms.
“That’s what it’s designed to do, to pit people against other people. To break down the normal bonds we have in community,” Executive Director of the Ron Paul Institute Daniel McAdams asserted. “…Whenever everyone is suspicious of everyone else, the only one you can turn to is the government and that’s what it’s all about.”
Critics went on to say the FBI is helping the Democrat party carry out its political influence, even if it comes at the expense of constitutional freedoms and public trust.

An attempt by Democrat lawmakers in Texas to block election integrity bills by fleeing the state has backfired. On Monday, nearly all 67 Texas state representatives flew in private planes to Washington D.C. in an attempt to block GOP bills that would add stricter voter ID laws.
“As soon as they come back in the state of Texas, they will be arrested,” Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) asserted. “They will be cabined inside the Texas Capitol until they get their job done.”
Rep. Nicole Collier (D-Texas) spoke with press and claimed the only option left was to flee the state because it denied legislature quorum to pass the GOP’s voter reform bills, which aimed to add new ID requirements for citizens voting by mail.
“We had no other option. There was nothing left to give and so we took a stand,” she stated. “We left the state of Texas because that was the best and the right thing to do at the right time.”
However, Abbott said this move could ultimately cost them their job.
“If they do not return to work, they’re risking losing their jobs as state representatives for not showing up,” he expressed. “First of all, I’ll tell you what the House of Representatives can do, the speaker can do, is issue a call to have these members arrested.”
Abbott warned fleeing the state would not stop the voting reform bills to make their way through legislature. He warned he would continue to maintains calls for a special session until elections of next year.
In the coming days, Texas state Democrats plan on begging Joe Biden to weaken federal voter laws and effectively block state legislation for election integrity where more backlash is sure to pop up.

7/15/2021 GOP Bill Aimed At Limiting CRT Moves Ahead In N.C. by OAN Newsroom

Republicans in North Carolina have decided to move forward with a bill that would place limitations on teaching critical race theory in schools. The state’s Senate Leader Phil Berger has voiced his support for the measure.
He said at the core of CRT is indoctrination and that his greatest fear is teaching children that race is determinative of whether or not someone is going to be successful or that it justifies present day discrimination.
Berger added he’s not alone in his quest for answers.
According to the Associated Press, CRT was created in the 70’s and 80’s and claimed racism is systemic in American institutions, meaning white people are the dominant race in society. Although, Berger said he’s always been skeptical of the Democrats’ push for CRT in schools.
He noted that because he shares the same concerns as many other Americans, the goal of the GOP’s proposal is to alleviate those concerns.
“So, if they’re not indoctrinating students then there should be no concern about the bill as drafted because all the bill prohibits is that indoctrination. So, if it’s not happening then they shouldn’t be up in arms about the existence of the bill,” said Sen. Berger.
In the meantime, GOP senators have moved forward with the bill by pinpointing examples of indoctrination being used in the current school system.

Louisiana lawmakers scheduled the first veto override session under the state’s Constitution enacted in 1974. According to vote tallies released on Friday, only 12 of 39 senators and 35 of 104 House members voted to avoid sessions to overturn Gov. John bel Edwards (D-La.) recent vetoes.
Edwards rejected two bills in particular that rallied legislators to support the session. The first was a measure banning transgender athletes from competing on school sports teams of their preferred gender. In addition, the Democrat governor tossed a bill allowing residents 21-years-old and older to carry handguns without a permit.
The Constitutional Carry Bill garnered a lot of support in the predominantly pro-gun state.
“I don’t think that any more criminals will carry than are currently carrying,” explained Dan Zelinka, President of the Louisiana Shooting Association. “What it does allow is the law abiding citizen to carry and law abiding citizens have never been a problem.”
Meanwhile, the state’s historic veto override session is expected to begin on Tuesday and last up to five days.
7/17/2021 Psaki Outlines Steps Biden Admin. Aims To Take With Big Tech To Censor Posts On Social Media by OAN Newsroom

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has responded to concerns over Joe Biden’s aggressive action to censor social media posts. At a press briefing on Friday, Psaki outlined the steps the White House aims to take in connection with Facebook in order to enforce social media policies.
She said the federal government wants to know social media outlets are taking steps to address misinformation they deem dangerous to public health. She added Facebook has not been as proactive as the administration would like.
The Biden administration’s push to censor social media content comes as President Trump has filed a class-action lawsuit against Big Tech giants Facebook, Twitter and Google for suppressing American’s First Amendment right to free speech.
The White House said they’re working with Facebook to take “aggressive action” on problematic social media posts. The administration said they will flag and work to censor anything they deem to be disinformation about COVID-19.
The Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, announced his advisory on the dangers of health misinformation, which he called a public health threat. He called on tech companies to ramp up their efforts to monitor Americans and stop so-called misinformation “super-spreaders.”
Social media companies are recommended by the administration to reduce the number of shares a post deemed false can get. During the briefing, Psaki asserted that Facebook should utilize their algorithm process to promote what they believe to be true.
Psaki claimed there are 12 people who provide 65 percent of vaccine misinformation online who are drowning out other voices. “There are also proposed changes we have made to social media platforms, including Facebook. And there are specifically four key steps,” said Psaki. “One, that they measure and publicly share the impact of misinformation on their platform.”
The other steps include platforms enforcing rules, as well as removing posts. These censoring measures come on the heels of Biden’s door-to-door campaign, which aims to increase vaccination rates in hesitant areas.
Of the many Republicans opposing the efforts, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said “a South Carolinians decision to get vaccinated is a personal one for them to make and not the government’s and pressuring people to get the vaccine is a bad policy.”
Similarly, Missouri’s Gov. Mike Parson said he wants to do more to get his state vaccinated, but stressed going door-to-door would not work and isn’t permitted in the state.
The Democratic National Committee, an ally to Biden, reportedly has plans to work with SMS carriers to monitor text messages and dispel misinformation regarding COVID-19 vaccines. Many critics called these plans an authoritarian form of spying that infringes on the First Amendment.

President Trump said the Arizona Senate hearings have showed there is enough fraud to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. In a statement on Friday, the 45th president said Fox News and other media outlets incorrectly sided with the county election board in reporting “no fraud” found.
He praised Arizona state senators, commending them on willing to fight for the truth. He also noted several senators who said it was time to decertify the election and want to see indictments.
Trump stressed the Arizona audit shows fraud and voting irregularities that exceed the number of fraudulent votes needed to change the outcome of the election.
7/17/2021 Biden Admin. Officials Admit Lab Leak Theory ‘Credible’ by OAN Newsroom

Biden administration officials conducting an intelligence review into the origins of the coronavirus, have reportedly begun opening up to the idea that COVID-19 was leaked from a Chinese laboratory. New reports detailed the shift in perspective, saying officials are admitting the theory is credible after being largely skeptical for most of the past year.
The reports said at this point little evidence has been uncovered to push either the lab leak theory or the natural emergency theory. In the meantime, China has continued to deny there was a leak and instead has suggested the source may have originated from frozen food.

“It was concluded that laboratory leaks are impossible. We will continue to investigate on a global basis, search for the initial cases and study the impact of cold chain and frozen packaging have had on transmission,” Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Lijian said while defending China’s position.
This comes as the chief for the World Health Organization on Thursday, admitted it was “premature” to rule out a potential link between the pandemic and a lab leak. He has since asked China to be more transparent in the search for the virus’ origins.

Joe Biden was blasted by critics after his accusations of Facebook killing its users. The comments came piling in on Friday as the White House announced efforts to fight supposed COVID-19 misinformation in conjunction with the social media giant.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) tweeted Big Tech was partially to blame after censoring early treatments, which cost lives. He said instead of a forum for solutions, social media has become a tool for “big brother.”
Biden was asked his thoughts on platforms like Facebook and supposed COVID-19 misinformation on Friday.
“They’re killing people,” he claimed. “…The only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated and they’re killing people.”
Conservative critics pointed out Facebook has aligned itself with the party that’s blaming it for people’s deaths and every corrupt regime has framed the silencing of citizens as being in the public good. However, Facebook argued the surgeon general praised its work by saying millions have used its vaccine-finder to get vaccinated and it’s helped to save lives.
[I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT JOE BIDEN IS STARTING TO REALIZE ALL THIS LYING IS GOING TO SEND HIS SOUL TO HELL AND IF FACEBOOK HAD NOT HIDDEN THE HUNTER BIDEN CRIMES FROM THE PUBLIC TO VIEW JOE WOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT NOW BECAUSE THE ONES WHO VOTED FOR HIM WOULD NOT HAVE BUT THEN WE DO NOT KNOW IF THEY DID SINCE THEY ARE FINDNG 100,000 VOTES BEING ILLEGALY COUNTED AFTER VOTING POLES ARE CLOSED.].
7/17/2021 GOP Lawmakers Move To Block CRT Training In Military by OAN Newsroom

Republican Sen. Tom Cotton (Ark.) announced legislation to stop military officers from teaching critical race theory. At a Republican dinner on Friday, Cotton said CRT was an anti-American idea that only focused on skin color and opposed the foundations of the democracy.
Cotton has recently worked with other Republicans such as Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) to create the “combating racist training in the military act.”
“Our service members don’t need to be reading arguments that America and our institutions, including the military, are inherently racist and irredeemable,” Crenshaw asserted. “It’s detrimental to the moral of the very men and women who put on the uniform to defend America with their lives.”
Cotton and Crenshaw launched a whistleblower tip line for military members to report evidence of CRT training and have received hundreds of tips just since its inception in May. According to the senator, numerous sailors interviewed in the report have contended the Navy seemed to be prioritizing diversity issues over actual combat.
“…The fact that 94% of all the sailors interviewed thought that the Navy has a crisis of leadership and culture on the surface,” he explained. “They say they have seen little institutional focus in their training over the years in war fighting and legality.”
One Navy lieutenant went on to say, “sometimes I think we care more about whether we have enough diversity officers than if we’ll survive a fight with the Chinese navy.”
Similarly, a recently retired senior enlisted leader said, “I guarantee you every unit in the Navy is up to speed on their diversity training. I’m sorry that I can’t say the same of their ship handling training.”
In February, the Chief of Naval Operations released an updated reading list including “How To Be An Antiracist,” which advocates for supposed “woke teachings.” According to the Republican leaders and those interviewed, the curriculum is reportedly sending sailors into battle less prepared and less focused than their opponents. Republican lawmakers directed this investigation into the Navy after several high-profile losses of sailors and warships occurred.
Critics say not only has the military degraded the effectiveness of its troops by teaching CRT, - it stands in opposition to the 1976 Supreme Court decision that the military would be apolitical or politically neutral under civilian control.

Donald Trump Jr. challenged the White House’s newest approach to work with social media on the crackdown of so-called disinformation. In a tweet on Friday, Trump questioned whether those who considered the Wuhan lab leak theory as plausible would regain access to their accounts in light of the White House’s new social media ideals.
Facebook began reversing its censorship of the lab leak theory in early May after issuing temporary suspensions for those pushing the theory. Critics slammed Facebook for keeping in lockstep with the government in deciding what is and isn’t “disinformation.”
Trump’s remarks came after the White House recently announced plans to work with Facebook to flag and censor social media posts deemed to be so-called disinformation about COVID-19. The Biden administration has recommended social media companies to reduce the number of shares a post with ‘false’ information is able to receive.
Trump went on to question whether consequences would be made for those who have chastised and censored individuals who considered the Wuhan lab leak theory as a plausible explanation.
7/20/2021 Florida man receives 8 months in prison for Jan. 6 insurrection by Bart Jansen, USA TODAY
– A Florida man became the first felon sentenced Monday for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, receiving eight months in prison and being ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution for damage to the building.
Hodgkins, 38, of Tampa faced sentencing guidelines of 15 to 21 months in prison after pleading guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding for interrupting Congress’ counting of Electoral College votes. He spent 15 minutes in the Senate chamber, holding a flag supporting former President Donald Trump and taking pictures.
District Judge Randolph Moss called literally waving the flag for Trump an unmistakable sign of loyalty to a single person rather than the country and democracy. “Although Mr. Hodgkins was only one member of a larger mob, he actively and intentionally participated in an event that threatened not only the security of the Capitol but democracy itself,” Moss said. “That is chilling, for many reasons.”
Hodgkins said he had no plans to enter the Capitol when he traveled to Washington to attend Trump’s rally but he got swept up in the march. Once inside the Capitol, he said, he apologized to police officers for the trouble and he offered medical care to an injured rioter.
“I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I am truly remorseful and regretful for my actions in Washington,” Hodgkins told the court. “This was a foolish decision on my part that I take full responsibility for it.”
Hodgkins is among the first dozen defendants to reach plea bargains, four for felonies and eight for misdemeanors. Two defendants with misdemeanors have been sentenced, one to six months behind bars and one to three years of probation.
At least 535 people were charged in the first six months after the attack, with 165 accused of assaulting, resisting or impeding officers, according to the Justice Department. More than 50 people are charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer, the department said. About 140 police officers were injured.

A heated exchange erupted between Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Dr. Anthony Fauci during a Senate hearing on the pandemic. The tense moments happened during Tuesday’s Senate Health Committee hearing on Capitol Hill.
Paul asserted Fauci lied to congress and questioned whether he was aware it was a crime to do so. Paul cited Fauci’s testimony earlier this year when he claimed there was no known association between the release of COVID-19 into the human population and an NIH grant for a non-profit group linked to the Wuhan lab.
“We’re saying they are gain of function viruses because they were animal viruses that became more transmissible in human and you funded it,” he asserted. “You won’t admit the truth.”
Fauci responded by saying, “you are implying that what we did was responsible for the deaths of individuals. I totally resent that and if anyone is lying here, it’s you.”
The senator went on to add Fauci will be held accountable for funding the Wuhan lab and lying about it.
7/21/2021 House GOP Unveils Bill To Give Funding To Border States That Want To Continue Building Wall by OAN Newsroom

House conservatives have refused to back down against Democrats on border wall funding, saying it’s their “hill to die on.” This week the House Republican Study Committee revealed a bill to give $22 billion directly to border states that want to continue building President Trump’s wall.
Last month, the committee along with President Trump visited a section of the wall in Texas that was almost complete, but was stopped under Joe Biden.
“Within two months, everything could have been completed, not sitting there rotting and rusting” said Trump. “It was all set.”
The RSC’s chairman reiterated President Trump’s comments that steel paid for by taxpayers was rusting on the ground and federal contractors have already been paid not to build the wall. Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) stressed that after his visit to the border, he’s more convinced than ever that continuing to build the wall is the right path.
Meanwhile, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has extended an invitation to other governors requesting they send law enforcement and military resources to the border in order to assist with the migrant crisis.
7/21/2021 Cities Push For More Police Officers As Crime Rates Surge by OAN Newsroom

The mayor of Dallas has called for the city’s budget to allow for more police and increased pay for first responders.
Meanwhile, cities across the U.S. have petitioned for more police officers after Democrat lawmakers promoted “defund the police” movements, which resulted in low moral amongst law enforcement and a flood of resignations.
As many Democrat lawmakers have flipped their stance on defunding law enforcement, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said on Tuesday that he wants to hire 275 police officers in next year’s budget.
“Every officer counts here and when we’re lacking officers, that’s just another place where crime can explode so we really need those numbers to be what they need to be,” said Terrance Hopkins, President of the Black Police Association of Greater Dallas.
Additionally, Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia said the 911 system has been in chaos and crime has increased in the city, citing three people killed over the weekend. Garcia introduced a new crime plan to target habitual criminals and said he believes the budget he is working to prepare will “provide the resources necessary for us to be successful.”
The mayor added he wants salary increases for both police officers and firefighters. This comes after eight residents from Northside Minneapolis won a lawsuit against the city in early July for its lack of police officers during the surge in crime, which has impacted low income and minority neighborhoods.
The ruling determined the mayor and city council must immediately fund a police force of approximately 743 officers.
However, Minneapolis Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey has yet to outline his plan to implement the judge’s orders.

President Trump has put the mainstream media on blast and has accused Democrats of leading America towards communism. On Tuesday, Trump was interviewed on the Michael Savage Show, where he blasted the media for protecting Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats.
Trump went on to criticize Biden for allowing illegal immigrants to flood into the U.S., leading to a crime wave and COVID-19 infection surges in border states. The 45th president also discussed election integrity and the importance of securing U.S. elections against fraud.
He said back in 2016 he was able to catch the establishment off guard, but in 2020 they were ready for him. President Trump did not confirm if he would be running again in 2024, however, he did say his supporters would be happy when he makes his announcement.
Trump said under Biden the U.S. is trending toward a level of leftism never before seen in its’ history.
[WAKE UP AMERICA IF TRUMP HAD NOT BECOME PRESIDENT HILLARY AND THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING JOE BIDEN’S ADMINISTRATION WOULD HAVE ALREADY HAD US INTO THE GLOBALIST SOCIALIST ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING RIGHT NOW SO PRAY TO GOD FOR HELP.].

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has pulled all Republican appointees from Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) Jan. 6 commission. McCarthy made the announcement on Wednesday after Pelosi banned Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Jim Banks (R-Ind.) from serving on the committee.
“With respect for the integrity of the investigation, with an insistence on the truth and with concern about statements made and actions taken by these members, I must reject the recommendations of Representatives Banks and Jordan to the select committee,” said Pelosi.
McCarthy joined other House Republicans in a press conference on Wednesday where he slammed Pelosi for playing politics, calling her move unprecedented and a breach of power.
In a statement earlier, McCarthy also called it a “sham process” and promised Republicans would pursue their own investigation into Jan. 6 if Pelosi didn’t rescind her decision. This leaves Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney as the sole Republican on the committee.

An intelligence expert is breaking down the issues found during the 2020 election in Texas. During an interview on Wednesday, former military intelligence officer Seth Keshel said the data he found suggests at least 675,000 excess votes for Joe Biden in the Lone Star State.
If his analysis is accurate, this would mean President Trump should have won Texas by roughly 55 percent instead of 43 percent. Keshel went on to point out irregularities in Biden’s win in Tarrant County specifically, which hadn’t voted Democrat since 1964.
“Terrent County, Fort Worth 75,000 heavy is my estimate,” he explained. “This is a county where Trump puts up a Republican vote record in a Republican county not lost since 1964 and it is flipped by a vote gain double to the previous Democrat record in Terrent County.”
Keshel is tracking election data from every U.S. state to create a strategy for future forensic audits.

The White House has defended Hunter Biden’s latest business venture, which involves selling so-called art though a Chinese-linked gallerist. On Thursday, Joe Biden’s Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed Hunter will not be directly involved in sales of his art, which would prevent any conflicts of interest.
However, reports found Hunter would meet with prospective buyers at his art exhibitions, which may amount to the sale of political influence on his father, Joe. Psaki has denied such claims.
“I would reiterate that the gallerist will be the only person that handles transactions or conversations in that vein and will reject any offer that is out of the ordinary,” explained Psaki. When asked about the lack of transparency with the buyers, Psaki claimed she nor Hunter would know who they were.
Critics have said Hunter’s paintings have questionable artistic value, but undisclosed buyers are willing to pay as much as $500,000 for them.
[AS I HAVE TOLD YOU ALREADY THE BIG GUY IS GETTING HIS 10% CUT AS HUNTER'S FAKE ART SALES AND CONTINUES THE CORRUPTION THAT SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED JOE FROM BECOMING PRESIDENT AND FACEBOOK SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR COVERING IT UP AS WE HAVE A SHAM IN THE OVAL OFFICE NOW AND ALL HIS FORMER OBAMA ADMINISTRATION CARRY THAT OVER AND IS DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY.].

Joe Biden spoke to a half-empty room during a live CNN Town Hall event in Ohio. On Wednesday, Biden began a night of contradictions as he began by blaming guns for the rise in violent crime across the country.
He focused on his reputation as a pro-gun control senator during his time in Congress, saying he’s looking to get rid of a range of guns. However, he quickly shifted the blame.
He went on to claim that he and other Democrats had never called for defunding the police, saying Republicans who pointed out the left’s support for the movement were liars.
Biden continued on to promote COVID-19 vaccinations for children. At one point, he was asked whether children under the age of 12 should be vaccinated despite their risk of developing COVID-19 being less than 1.9 percent.
The question was posed amid heightened concerns over possible negative side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, which hasn’t yet been fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration. He also downplayed concerns over growing inflation in the U.S. yet again, saying it won’t last long.
According to Biden, a majority of experts suggest it’s highly unlikely inflation will be a long-term problem or that it will even get out of hand.
However, a new poll from the National Republican Congressional Committee showed 70 percent of voters are extremely or very concerned about the rising cost of living. Additionally, another 60 percent also disapproved of Biden’s handling of rising prices.
[THERE IS NO WAY THAT JOE BIDEN WHO HARDLY HAD 60 PEOPLE AT HIS RALLIES DURING HIS RUN FOR PRESIDENT AND HE WAS IN A BASEMENT MOST OF THE TIME HIDING HIS CONDITION AND EVEN STILL HE CANNOT EVEN GET A LIVE EVENT AND BARELY ANYONE THERE TO WATCH IT SO HOW COULD HE GET 80,000,000 VOTES WHEN TRUMP COULD FILL ARENAS AND GOT 70,000,000 VOTES AND HOPEFUL THESE BALLOTS COUNTS IN THE 6 SWING STATES ARE STARTING TO SHOW THERE WAS ELECTION CORRUPTION].

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said his new Justice Department is focusing on five American cities to tackle illegal gun trafficking. On Thursday, while in Chicago, the official announced he’s sending gun trafficking strike forces to the Democrat-led cities of Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco and Washington D.C.
In a statement, the attorney general noted, “all too often guns found at crime scenes come from hundreds or thousands of miles away.” The strike forces represent a bolstering of federal and local law enforcement seeking to disrupt the flow of unlawfully obtained firearms to the places they are ultimately used to commit crimes.
“We are going to try to focus as much of our attention on these problems, not only in Chicago, but in the rest of the country which is also experiencing similar problems,” Garland stated. “And we’re going to try and mesh it up with grants for communities to, as I said, prevent violence, to interrupt violence and to provide the kind of relationship between the police and community necessary to build trust.”
The attorney general said illegal gun trafficking will be a major component of the DOJ’s focus moving forward. He also said the new DOJ force will be experimental, using trial and error to find what works best.
“What want to do is find the programs that really work, help them as much as we can in the cities which are really suffering,” Garland continued. “And then transport that policy around the country to other cities, so that it can help those as well.”
However, the attorney general’s “trial and error approach” is not inspiring a great deal of confidence that the strike force will reduce crime. Even Democrats have slammed the Biden administration while asserting the new task force will not be enough to stop the illegal gun trade.
“It is good news that the DOJ has set up strike forces to come to New York and other cities to deal with the epidemic scourge of gun violence, but DOJ’s plans are insufficient because so many of the guns used in crimes come from other states,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). “So we’re asking them to expand he domain of their task forces.”
Meanwhile, a recent poll produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates shows only 38 percent of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of crime as violence continues to ravage American streets without any sign of yielding.
[IF THE DEMOCRATS THINK THAT JAN. 6TH WAS AN INSURRECTION WAIT TO SEE IF THE DEMOCRATS CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION OF THE US SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO BEAR ARMS IN ANY WAY OR FORM THEY MAY FIND 200 MILLION GUN OWNERS SURROUND THE CAPITOL JUST LIKE THEY DID AGAINST THE ENGLIS/BRITISH TROOPS IN 1770'S AND AG GARLAND WILL BE THE FIRST TO GO.].
7/23/2021 Poll: Biden Losing Support From Voters In 85 Battleground Districts by OAN Newsroom

The Biden administration has lost support on the key issue of border security in 85 battleground congressional districts. A poll conducted by the National Republican Congressional Committee throughout the month of July found that voters believed Republicans in Congress were better equipped to deal with the issue of borer security.
The data highlighted voters trusted Republicans more on the issue in districts represented by Democrats by a nine point margin. In addition, the poll found Independent and Hispanic voters have shown increasing discontent with the Biden border crisis and found they disapproved of his policies by a 23 point margin.
The NRCC added border security has become the second most important issue to voters, which has fallen behind jobs and the economy. Just last week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) gave insight on the severity of the Biden administration’s immigration policies and the crisis created by the progressive left.
“To give you some raw numbers, if you just look overall in the month of April from last year to this year, there has been about a thousand percent increase,” he explained. “In the month of May, there was about an 800 percent increase in the number of people coming across the border.”
According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the surge in illegal immigrants who have entered the country was on track to set an all time yearly record of 1.7 million. The White House encouraged this as they have been trying to reverse President Trump’s effective border policies.
However, Republicans have taken a hard stance against Biden, which has begun to appeal to voters.
“There is another need that has arisen that is a result with my conversation with law enforcement and that is, we want to get away from the Biden administration approach of catch and release,” Abbott expressed. “We want to make sure we arrest and jail people who are coming across the border.”
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has lost support on several other issues, including skyrocketing inflation and violent crime.

GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) has vowed to prosecute Dr. Anthony Fauci if Republicans take control of the House in 2022. During a recent interview, the North Carolina congressman accused Fauci of lying to Congress and being a “pawn of the Chinese Communist Party.”
Cawthorn said he is confident the GOP will take back majority of the House in 2022 and he’ll make sure consequences are doled out. This comes as Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R) announced he’s requesting a criminal referral from the Department of Justice to investigate Fauci and his lies, along with his ties to gain-of-function research.
Cawthorn was passionate on his stance stating, “we want to prosecute this guy to the full ability of the law.”
“To lie to the American people just to get your name in the news, just to get your face on the cover of books, just to get fame and fortune. I’ll tell you, Dr. Anthony Fauci does not deserve either fame or fortune,” said Cawthorn.

House Republicans have accused U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy of colluding with Big Tech to censor medical information. On Friday, Reps. Bob Gibbs (R-Ohio) and Byron Donalds (R-N.Y.) demanded Murthy provide documents and communications regarding efforts to remove opinions and medical information online.
The Republican lawmakers wrote “it is clear that the Biden administration’s goal is to actively censor the American people.” Recently, Joe Biden even insisted that social media misinformation was “killing people.”
Their push back comes as White House officials have ramped up efforts to remove coronavirus information from social media platforms they deem as misinformation.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has endorsed an audit of the 2020 election results in his state. During a recent interview, Paxton said voter fraud occurred everywhere and an audit in Texas would reassure voters and help officials correct any existing mistakes.
“I don’t know why we wouldn’t want to give people confidence in our elections and give them the chance to know for sure that they’ve had an audit and things are good or they are bad,” he expressed. “It give us an opportunity to figure out how we want to correct things.”
Paxton’s comments come after Texas lawmakers introduced a bill to conduct a forensic audit of the 2020 election results in 13 of the state’s most populous counties. The bill, introduced by Rep. Steve Toth (R) and 15 other Republican lawmakers, would require Texas representatives to submit an outline of the issues in question for the balloting and counting processes within the year.
Meanwhile, Paxton’s office has reported 510 active cases of alleged voter or election fraud within the state, which have occurred over various elections.

The newly named staff director for the Jan. 6 House select committee reportedly retaliated against a whistleblower during his time at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). New reports cited a previously unpublished 2019 report saying the CIA was pushed to take action against then CIA Inspector General David Buckley.
The target of the alleged retaliation was a former CIA official who was put on leave and had his security clearance suspended after cooperating with an investigation into potential evidence manipulation. The report recommended the CIA determine if this would affect Buckley’s own security clearance.
Reports said this could potentially have an affect on potential witnesses who would testify as part of the Jan. 6 investigation. In the meantime, the committee is slated to hold its first hearing on Tuesday with eyewitness testimony from four law enforcement officers over the protest.

A Republican congressman proposed a bill that would put a hold on immigration for at least a decade. On Friday, Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar (R) announced his sponsorship of the bill and said a moratorium needed to stem illegal immigration.
Gosar went on to call illegal immigration a “threat to national security” and accused Joe Biden of ignoring federal laws and letting criminals in.
This comes after Biden reversed many policies put in place by President Trump, which some analysts said has fueled the border crisis. Many Republican lawmakers have called on the Biden administration to tighten the reins on border security, while some state governors have deployed National Guard troops and law enforcement to assist Custom and Border Patrol agents with the migrant crisis at the border.
The Biden administration has continued to dodge responsibility for the influx in illegal immigration. Biden announced a “comprehensive regional framework” to address the root causes of migration, while many Americans have expressed disapproval of this so-called approach.
According to federal immigration officials, 188,000 illegal aliens were apprehended in June.

President Trump delivered remarks during Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit in Phoenix, Arizona. The 45th president discussed a variety of topics, which ranged from the economy to the 2020 presidential election.
“As everyone here fully understands, the 2020 election was a total disgrace,” he stated. “It was the most corrupt.”
Trump said our nation was being destroyed and Republicans needed to find out how Democrats cheated “hundreds of thousands and even millions of votes” or the party wouldn’t have a future. He went on to say the facts were coming out, the truth was being uncovered and the “crime of the century” fully exposed.
“The survival of our nation depends on holding these responsible and we have to hold these responsible elections, we have to hold those that are responsible for the 2020 presidential election scam,” he expressed. “It was a scam, greatest crime in history.”
In addition, Trump touched on the problems at the border, the economy and inflation.
Trump added Republicans have been working to break up Big Tech monopolies, shut down Joe Biden’s “border disaster” and end Biden’s war on American energy by ensuring the U.S. remained the dominate energy “superpower” on earth.
The 45th president highlighted the consequences of Democrat polices by claiming illegal aliens were pouring in record numbers, critical race theory was being forced in schools and free speech was becoming crushed. He warned the U.S. was “becoming a communist country,” was beyond socialism and the survival of our nation depended on responsible elections.
“With your help we will stand up for democracy and for justice. We will fight for truth, transparency, and accountability,” he announced.
“We will not stop until we have restored our American birthright of honest, free and fair elections.”
Regardless, Trump vowed not to give up fighting for the American people.

Republican Sen. Pat Toomey (Pa.) said Democrats held a political advantage by continually bringing up the January 6 investigation. In an interview on Sunday, the Pennsylvania lawmaker added he supported a “truly bipartisan” Senate investigation into the January demonstration.
Toomey noted the investigation by a House commission was not meant to be bipartisan. He cited Democrat political consultant James Carville, who Toomey argued has been candid about keeping the protest in the forefront of discussions.
“He’s urged the Democrats, don’t let the election be about Joe Biden and his policies in 2022,” he stated. “Make that election about January 6 and Donald Trump.”
Toomey went on to say it was clear Democrats had an incentive to drive a political message and a purely partisan House commission would likely do that.

Sen. Ron Johnson said federal agencies are helping Joe and Hunter Biden cover up evidence of their corruption, both at home and abroad. On Sunday, the Wisconsin senator said the Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were dragging their feet on Congressional requests to probe Hunter Biden’s corruption.
Johnson added the documents provided by those agencies to Congress have been heavily redacted, which in return has hindered the probes. Johnson and four other members of the Homeland Security Committee have requested documents from federal agencies, which the law says they must provide.
“There’s a law that says, when five members of the Homeland Security Committee request information, the agencies shall turn it over,” said Johnson. However, the senator said agencies within the Biden administration are “just blowing off Congress.”
7/26/2021 Facebook And Tech Giants To Target Attacker Manifestos, Far-Right Militias In Database by Elizabeth Culliford

(Reuters) – A counterterrorism organization formed by some of the biggest U.S. tech companies including Facebook and Microsoft is significantly expanding the types of extremist content shared between firms in a key database, aiming to crack down on material from white supremacists and far-right militias, the group told Reuters.
Until now, the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism’s (GIFCT) database has focused on videos and images from terrorist groups on a United Nations list and so has largely consisted of content from Islamist extremist organizations such as Islamic State, al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Over the next few months, the group will add attacker manifestos — often shared by sympathizers after white supremacist violence — and other publications and links flagged by U.N. initiative Tech Against Terrorism. It will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes, adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.
The firms, which include Twitter and Alphabet Inc’s YouTube, share “hashes,” unique numerical representations of original pieces of content that have been removed from their services. Other platforms use these to identify the same content on their own sites in order to review or remove it.
While the project helps combat extremist content on mainstream platforms, groups can still post violent images and rhetoric on many other sites and parts of the internet.
The tech group wants to combat a wider range of threats, said GIFCT’s Executive Director Nicholas Rasmussen in an interview with Reuters.
“Anyone looking at the terrorism or extremism landscape has to appreciate that there are other parts…that are demanding attention right now,” Rasmussen said, citing the threats of far-right or racially motivated violent extremism.
The tech platforms have long been criticized for failing to police violent extremist content, though they also face concerns over censorship. The issue of domestic extremism, including white supremacy and militia groups, took on renewed urgency following the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Fourteen companies can access the GIFCT database, including Reddit, Snapchat-owner Snap, Facebook-owned Instagram, Verizon Media, Microsoft’s LinkedIn and file-sharing service Dropbox.
GIFCT, which is now an independent organization, was created in 2017 under pressure from U.S. and European governments after a series of deadly attacks in Paris and Brussels. Its database mostly contains digital fingerprints of videos and images related to groups on the U.N. Security Council’s consolidated sanctions list and a few specific live-streamed attacks, such as the 2019 mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand.
GIFCT has faced criticism and concerns from some human and digital rights groups over censorship.
“Over-achievement in this takes you in the direction of violating someone’s rights on the internet to engage in free expression,” said Rasmussen.
The group wants to continue to broaden its database to include hashes of audio files or certain symbols and grow its membership. It recently added home-rental giant Airbnb and email marketing company Mailchimp as members.

7/27/2021 House GOP: Pelosi’s ‘Cherry-Picked’ Jan. 6 Committee Is A ‘Sham’ by OAN Newsroom

House Republican leaders have called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 committee a “sham” that would only produce a “failed report.” In a press conference ahead of Tuesday’s opening hearings in Washington, Republicans insisted Pelosi cherry-picked members for the committee who would stick to her talking points and predetermined narrative for the events of January 6.
“We now have a committee that all of America wants to know the answers to,” explained House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). “…Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi will only pick on people unto the committee that will ask the questions she wants asked. That becomes a failed committee and a failed report, a sham that no one can believe.”
McCarthy went on to say if lawmakers wanted the true answers, they should not be afraid of the questions that would be asked. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) echoed those sentiments.
“Speaker Pelosi said that she doesn’t want those questions to asked so she kicked them off the committee,” he stated.
“She took an unprecedented step of refusing to allow members to be appointed by the minority leader to a select committee. That never before happened in the history of Congress.”
Scalise reiterated Democrats were not aiming at the truth, but instead conspiring to cover up the facts with a narrative prewritten by Pelosi.
Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) said it was only after Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) began to raise questions about Pelosi’s negligent and “potentially nefarious” response to Intelligence reports that she refused to seat them on the committee.
She went on to say, “it is a fact that the U.S. Capitol police raised concerns and rather than providing them with the support and resources they needed and they deserved, she prioritized her partisan political optics over their safety.”
Banks called on the chairman of the committee to bring before the panel the head of the Capitol Police Union, who has repeatedly said both publicly and privately that officers weren’t prepared, despite the intelligence Pelosi was given in December.
“They were not prepared for what happened on January 6 in spite of intelligence reports that date back three weeks before that day,” he asserted. “They weren’t equipped on January 6 with the proper equipment that they needed to handle what happened that day and they weren’t trained for what was going to happen that day.”
Jordan, who like Banks was denied a chair on the committee, questioned why Pelosi ordered the sergeant of arms of the National Guard to remain off Capitol grounds on January 6.
“Pelosi’s office had previously impressed upon the Sergeant of Arms Paul Irving that the National Guard was to remain off Capitol grounds,” he discussed. “Irving told House administration discussions centered around the quote ‘optics.'”

President Trump recently weighed in on several issues facing Americans. On Tuesday, he released a series of statements regarding mainstream media’s crime surge cover up, an attack on a former senator and recent claims by Ohio candidates who say they have his support.
Trump began his comments by ripping into the mainstream media for covering up the nation’s violent crime surge. The 45th president said taxpayers deserve their police back and should be able to feel safe again. This comes as violence eats away at big cities with at least 70 residents shot and 12 murdered in Democrat-led Chicago over the weekend.
“What can Chicago Police officers do? They can continue to be brave and courageous,” stated Chicago Police Department Superintendent David Brown. “My question to you is, ask what the courts can do different?”
However, the 45th president asserted that “fraudulent nightly newscasts have devoted zero minutes to crime recently” because they would rather protect the Democrat’s communist agenda than lives of average Americans.
Trump then went on to denounce the defund the police movement after former California Sen. Barbara Boxer was attacked in Oakland, a city where radical leftists cut funding for law enforcement. He bashed Democrat cities defunding its police, writing that they have “become a paradise for criminals because of Democrats.”
Trump urged lawmakers to empower law enforcement and warned that America will never be safe without strong police forces. His remarks come as police forces see more and more officers walk away from the line of duty.
Meanwhile, Trump criticized Ohio candidates running for Congress who claim he supports them. The 45th president said several candidates who are running in state’s 15th Congressional District claim to have his support when in reality he doesn’t “even know who they are.” Trump clarified he only knows and fully endorses GOP republican candidate Mike Carey who he endorsed last month.
Trump has recently been more outspoken via his website, www.donaldjtrump.com, stoking rumors he may be considering a run in 2024.
7/28/2021 Protesters Shut Down GOP Press Conference Shedding Light On Mistreatment Of Jan. 6 Nonviolent Detainees by OAN Newsroom

In another instance of free speech intolerance, protesters interrupted a press conference organized by Republican lawmakers to discuss the treatment of January 6 detainees. On Tuesday, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) gathered outside the Department of Justice in D.C. to demand a status report on individuals arrested following the January 6 capitol breach.
According to the representatives, their interest in the issue comes as reports emerge revealing mistreatment of non-violent protestors in jail and silence regarding the issue from the Justice Department. Congressman Gohmert, an experienced defense attorney, stated he was there simply to defend “due process.”
“I’m here just to try to see that due process is done and I’m pleased to be standing with other concerned people from Congress about what is happening,” stated the Texas lawmaker. “Are we housing political prisoners? We need to know the answers.”
Congresswoman Taylor Greene shared how she felt seeing the attack on the capitol that day and questioned why nobody was prepared to stop it even though U.S. Intelligence was aware of violent threats beforehand.
“And I have to tell you, as a freshman member of Congress that was the fourth day on my job January 6, I was absolutely shocked at what happened at the capitol,” she stated. “And even more so I am shocked that with the intelligence that there was going to be violence that the National Guard was not present on January 6.”
However, the gathering was cut short as hecklers came too close and were considered a threat to the lawmakers’ safety.
The Republicans had previously penned a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland asking for answers and still have received no response.

Joe Biden recently took aim at unvaccinated Americans despite getting the green-light to impose mandates. He appeared to insult tens-of-millions of U.S. citizens and people in other countries for refusing to take COVID vaccines.
While talking to reporters Tuesday, Biden said he may mandate all federal employees take the vaccine and suggested it’s a smart way to proceed. His comments came after the Department of Justice found vaccine mandates in private and public organizations were not illegal.
In an opinion released Monday, the DOJ said federal law does not prohibit public and private sector employers from forcing workers to take COVID-19 vaccines. The department added, even the Emergency Use Authorization status of the vaccines does not pose a problem.
This came after some entities in California and New York, along with the Department of Veterans Affairs, imposed vaccine mandates despite legal concerns. However, Biden is undeterred as he went on to attack those who refuse the vaccine.
A recent poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found 80 percent of unvaccinated Americans said they will not take the jab no matter what.
7/29/2021 U.S. Congressmen Call On Hilton To Cut Link To Xinjiang Project

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A bipartisan U.S. congressional commission has called on Hilton Worldwide not to allow its name to be associated with a hotel project on the site of a mosque bulldozed by authorities in China’s Xinjiang region, where Washington says minority Muslims have been victims of genocide.
In a letter on Thursday to Christopher Nassetta, president and CEO of Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc, Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley and Representative Jim McGovern raised concerns about reports that a Hampton by Hilton hotel was being constructed on the site of the mosque destroyed in 2018 in Xinjiang’s Hotan prefecture.
“The site is emblematic of the Chinese government’s campaign of widespread destruction of Uyghur religious and cultural sites in the XUAR and official efforts to eradicate Uyghurs’ religious and cultural practices,” the letter said, referring to minority Uyghur Muslims and the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
The letter, a copy of which was made available to Reuters, was co-signed by the senior Congressional-Executive Commission on China Republicans, Senator Marco Rubio and Representative Jim Smith.
Hilton Worldwide did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment.
The letter said the destruction of Uyghur religious and cultural sites had contributed to the U.S. government’s determination that genocide and crimes against humanity were being perpetrated against Muslims in Xinjiang.
“Hilton should not allow its name to be used to perpetuate and promote the cultural erasure and repression of the millions of Uyghurs living in the XUAR,” it said.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, the largest U.S. Muslim advocacy organization, this week called on Hilton shareholders to seek details on the hotel plan, revealed in June by Britain’s Daily Telegraph.
It quoted Hilton as saying the hotel was a franchise development overseen by a Chinese firm, Huan Peng Hotel Management, which said it had purchased the land as a vacant lot via a public auction. The firm added that it would “comply fully with all local laws, authorities and Hilton brand development standards.”
According to CECC research, authorities in Xinjiang demolished or damaged around 16,000 mosques and more than half of the region’s other religious sites such as shrines and cemeteries in recent years.

Political intolerance by the left appears to reach a boiling point as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) directly insults her Republican counterpart. The biggest voices in the House traded verbal jabs over the new mask mandate in the lower chamber.
On Wednesday, Pelosi and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) clashed over the capitol physician’s decision to reinstate a mask mandate on the House floor. Pelosi immediately went with a low blow in response. The top Democrat called McCarthy a “moron” for saying the CDC’s ever-changing guidance on face masks isn’t supported by science.
McCarthy said the reinstatement of masks in the House of Representatives is “about more control.” He argued the new guidance only applies to “hot spots” and that there is a high vaccination rate at the U.S. Capitol.
“This is no different than her (Pelosi) and telling people they couldn’t go out, but she’s getting her hair done,” noted the Republican lawmaker. “Just today I watched her in a private meeting not wearing a mask, so do as she say but not as she does.”
However, Pelosi only doubled down on her verbal assault against McCarthy and failed to apologize. When asked by a reporter if McCarthy was, in fact, a moron, she responded with “science, science, science and science.” McCarthy responded by saying people are tired of “this type” of leadership and that they “want something different.”

House Republicans have refused to follow a newly imposed mask mandate in the House as Capitol Police are now being ordered to arrest any visitors not willing to comply. Capitol Police are to arrest any staff and visitors if they are not wearing masks on the House side of the Capitol and its office buildings. This is according to a memo obtained by Florida Rep. Kat Cammack (R) on Thursday.
Congressional aides, however, do not face arrest as officers are advised to report the noncompliance of lawmakers to the House sergeant-at-arms. This comes after Congress’ chief physician re-imposed mask mandates on Wednesday, causing tensions to rise on the floor.
GOP lawmakers have said Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) directive was tyrannical and an overstep of her authority as speaker of the House.
“I’ve watched the Democrats continue to lie to us. She first said if we were vaccinated, we’d go back to work. If we’re trying to get America vaccinated, what type of message does this provide,” said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). “We were vaccinated…we are not a hotspot, but they’re forcing you to wear a mask, not in the Senate, but in the House. This is just about more control.”
South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace (R) condemned the move on Thursday, accusing Pelosi of “an insane power grab.” Taking to Twitter, the Republican Congresswoman said she would not wear a mask outside of the Chamber because she follows science and not Pelosi.
Mace also criticized the order for Capitol Police to arrest anyone who refused to wear a mask in the House, calling the move “nuts.” Capitol Police released a brief statement on Thursday, saying there is no reason it should ever come to an arrest as long as everyone follows the rules.
In the meantime, U.S. Capitol Police said the department’s requirement for officers to wear masks is for their own health and safety.
7/29/2021 Biden: Federal Employees Will Be Asked To Attest To Their Vaccination Status by OAN Newsroom

The Delta variant has caused a spike in COVID-19 cases across the U.S. In response, Joe Biden announced new initiatives on Thursday in an effort to get more Americans vaccinated.
The Democrat has urged states to utilize pandemic funds to give $100 to anyone who receives the vaccine. He also controversially stated that federal employees would need to get vaccinated or face repeated COVID tests.
“Every federal government employee will be asked to attest to their vaccination status,” said Biden. “Anyone who does not attest or is not vaccinated, will be required to wear a mask no matter where they work, test one or two times a week to see if they have acquired COVID, socially distance and generally will not be allowed to travel for work.”
Additionally, Biden threatened companies with the removal of the federal government’s business if they didn’t vaccinate their employees. Many GOP lawmakers have disagreed with Biden’s tactic to try and force Americans to get inoculated and said they should be given the freedom to decide whether to get the vaccine or not.
Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said scaring Americans into getting the vaccine isn’t going to have a positive outcome, but said the data is strong for vaccine efficacy in combating case upticks, especially for elderly citizens. This comes a day after republican Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) introduced two amendments to prevent the federal government from enforcing a vaccine passport system.

The conservative House Freedom Caucus wants Representatives Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) penalized for cozying up to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her January 6 commission. Members of the caucus gathered for a press conference Thursday to announce their effort to take the two lawmakers out of the House GOP conference.
Congressman Bob Good (R-Va.) defended the removal by asserting they can no longer be trusted in private Republican meetings because they are not real Republicans. He said some have dubbed the two lawmakers as “Pelosi Republicans.” The congressman added, the GOP cannot work with elected officials who criticize their own party more than they do the Democrats.
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) echoed Good’s sentiments while emphasizing Republicans who have that close of a relationship with Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Pelosi should not be allowed to listen in on meetings meant for Republican ears only.
Due to the actions of Cheney and Kinzinger, the Freedom Caucus wants to make the rules stricter. Congressman Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) wants a rule declaring any member who accepts a committee assignment outside the normal procedure “shall immediately cease to be a member of the conference.”
Biggs also renewed a call the caucus made earlier this week for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to make a privileged motion on the House floor to remove Pelosi from her speakership role.

A new poll suggests a majority of Americans want an investigation into last year’s Black Lives Matter protests and riots. According a recent Rasmussen survey, 66 percent of voters would rather see the 2020 BLM incidents investigated over the breech at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
Most of the respondents said they were part of a minority group and an investigation into the riots following the death of George Floyd should be a priority.
Meanwhile, 65 percent of voters also disagree with BLM activists who claim the U.S. flag is a symbol of racism and 63 percent believe participants in the 2020 rioting should be criminally charged.
This comes as GOP lawmakers have decried House Democrats’ January 6 commission as being a purely partisan venture. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) issued a statement slamming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for playing politics and not taking the commission seriously.

GOP House Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has promised to investigate Democrats for fraud and abuse if he’s given the speaker’s gavel after the midterms. In an interview with Breitbart on Saturday, the California Republican said Americans are suffering from inflation while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, seem to be making money however they want.
“Which American would not be worried about inflation? Pelosi wouldn’t be worried about it because her and her husband just made $5 million, not buying stock, but trading options on tech stocks when Congress was actually taking legislation up, $5 million in one month,” said McCarthy.
He pointed out recent financial disclosures showed Pelosi’s husband used call options on Google’s parent company, Alphabet Inc., just before anti-trust legislation came down the pipe. He also brought up Hunter Biden selling his paintings for $550,000 a piece and said he should be investigated by Republicans.
[I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HUNTER BIDEN IS DOING ANY OF THE ARTS AND WHEN THEY CLAIM HE IS OR SHOW HIM ATTEMPTING IT LOOKS STUPID AS HE IS PAINTING WITH A STRAW THIS WHOLE ISSUE IS A SHAM AND MOST LIKELY THEIR WAY FOR THE FUNDS GOING TO THE PURCHASE THE ART WORKS IS THEIR NEW SCAM TO GET PAYOFF MONEY SINCE NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND IT IS ALL ABOUT JOE THE BIG GUY GETS HIS 10% AND HUNTER WHILE IN THE WHITE HOUSE WHICH THE PRESS IS IGNORING.].

Texas congressmen have introduced a measure that aims to help farmers whose properties have been damaged by illegal immigrants. Republican August Pfluger proposed the bill on Friday, which looks to allocate $300 million in unused COVID relief funds to farmers who have felt the brunt of the border crisis.
Farmers have accrued damages, including livestock loss, crop loss, perimeter fence replacements, defacement to physical structures and property loss.
Pfluger was joined by fellow Texas Republican Tony Gonzalez, as well as Texas Democrats Henry Cuellar and Vincente Gonzalez. Gonzalez notably said Texans should not be responsible for bearing the costs of Joe Biden’s border crisis.

Following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recent recommendation to wear masks indoors regardless of vaccination status, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has decided to follow suit with her own mandate on the floor and in the halls of the House. Pelosi has also ordered Capitol Police to arrest anyone from tourists to staff and even to members themselves if they are seen without a mask.
In a recent interview, South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace said she views the mandate as an act of politics and a reach for power. She suggested arresting people for not complying to mask mandates is sending the wrong message and not getting more Americans vaccinated.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) criticized the mandate to which Pelosi referred to him as a “moron.” McCarthy responded to the name calling, saying Democrats are mad with power.
The House has been ahead of the curve when it comes to implementing new mask mandates. Meanwhile, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) didn’t implement an indoor mandate until days after Pelosi’s personal mandate. Additionally, the Senate has still not placed a mask mandate on its members or visitors.
Many other Republicans have made a point to refuse to wear a mask and announced they are taking the fines to court. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) argued that Pelosi doesn’t even wear her mask wherever she goes in the House. He said she thinks she is the queen of Congress.
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) mocked the mandate under the Capitol Rotunda. She also set up her own Checkpoint Charlie in the Capitol, named for the main checkpoint at the Berlin Wall between communism and freedom in Germany.
Pelosi defended her stance as following updated CDC guidance recommending masks indoors regardless of vaccination status. This follows an increase in case counts with cases higher now than at any point since February. However, death counts are at their lowest point since March of 2020 and have not been increasing as significantly as cases increase.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has demanded Nancy Pelosi to be investigated over her role behind the violence that occurred during the January 6 protest. In an interview on Sunday, the representative from Ohio urged Pelosi to testify before her own January 6 commission.
Jordan added the house speaker must answer why there wasn’t better security at the Capitol during the protest. Pelosi’s job has granted her immense power over how Capitol police and national guardsmen were deployed.
Critics condemned her seemingly neglectful preparation for possible violence on January 6.
“Pelosi’s office had previously impressed upon the Sergeant of Arms Paul Irving that the National Guard was to remain off Capitol grounds,” he discussed. “Irving told House administration discussions centered around the quote ‘optics.’ Why were the Democrats so concerned about the optics? Why were they so concerned about how it would look?”
Jordan went on to say Pelosi’s commission was a partisan effort that was not seeking to reveal the truth.

Senior Republican strategist and adviser to Donald Trump Jr., Andy Surabian, insisted government officials have been using COVID-19 to expand their grip on political power. During an interview on Saturday, Surabian said Joe Biden and the Democrats refused to give up the powers they obtained through COVID lockdowns.
He went on to say, “it’s almost been a year and a half of these crazy COVID authoritarian restrictions.”
Surabian added new COVID policies had nothing to do with public health and were purely political.
“If you can’t fight COVID authoritarianism with everything that you have, then we can’t trust you to fight for anything else,” he asserted. “These governors, these Democrats, want to keep our kids masked up in school. They want to keep businesses closed down.”
Surabian went on to say Republicans must take back the House and Senate as well as immediately investigate the handling of COVID-19 by Dr. Anthony Fauci and Democrat officials.

Committee headquarters in Washington. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)
Rudy Giuliani expressed confidence he would handily defeat in court any accusations of crime that have been thrown at him by Democrats. During an interview on Sunday, former attorney for President Trump said he has upheld the rule of law and highlighted his efforts fighting the mafia, terrorist cells and Ed Koch.
This comes after Democrats accused him of criminal conduct in Ukraine for exposing Joe and Hunter Biden’s corruption schemes in that country. Giuliani added any charges and accusations against him have been purely political.
“I’m more than willing to go to jail if they want to put me in jail and if they do they are going to suffer the consequences in heaven. I’m not because I didn’t do anything wrong,” he expressed. “When you see the differences between the way a Cuomo is treated and the way I’m treated and you don’t realize there’s a very, very terrible distortion of justice because that’s not the only example.”
Giuliani went on to say the real wrongdoing was detailed in Hunter Biden’s laptop, which the FBI did not want to look into. He added he expected to be fully vindicated.

Election analyst Seth Keshel discovered at least 8.1 million fraudulent votes nationwide cast for Joe Biden last November. On Monday, Keshel explained how he compared purported election results with voter registration data and demographic trends.
The Intelligence analyst went on to claim the numbers in many states and counties didn’t add up. Keshel said his research has shown Trump apparently won in seven swing states including Georgia, Pennsylvania and Nevada.
“You have people showing up in a drive through voting lane with 15 IDs and here come 15 ballots. Same guy fills all ballots out,” he explained. “…You have these massive unexplainable gains that conflict with your other trends across the nation.”
Keshel went on to say Trump also won by the number of clean votes in Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona. He also asserted elections in California, New York and Virginia were mired in so much fraud, it would be impossible to tell who won there.
8/3/2021 Biden Admin. Blames Trump For Issues At Border, Labels Jan. 6 Protesters As White Supremacists by OAN Newsroom

The secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, is blaming the 45th presdient for the consequences of the Biden administration’s policies and is labeling January 6 protesters as terrorists.
Specifically, he’s blaming President Donald Trump for the border crisis. During an interview Monday, Mayorkas admitted there’s a problem at the southern border, but gave no fault to Joe Biden, Kamala Harris or himself. Instead, he insisted the issue stems from the Trump administration not sending enough money to other countries.
“Let me, if I can share with you what makes the challenge so acute at this point in time,” Mayorkas stated. “We are following an administration that, frankly, dismantled our capabilities to address it and so we are building it from the ground up. We lost four years of investing in the countries from which these individuals are migrating.” The DHS secretary also said the administration’s plan to solve the problem is in place and working, adding he has “remarkable people” addressing the Biden border crisis. Yet, little action has been taken by the his administration to reduce illegal border crossings.
Also in his interview, Mayorkas went on to say “domestic violent extremism” is the biggest terrorist threat to the U.S. pertaining to the January 6 protests. GOP lawmakers have said January 6 protesters are facing political persecution after participating in the rally.
Mayorkas alluded to a political purge suggesting one is underway in the U.S. military. Many warn this is the first time in U.S. history when servicemen and women are labeled as “terrorists,” along with millions of other patriotic Americans.

The White House has targeted Republican officials for the rise in coronavirus cases. Speaking from the White House on Tuesday, Joe Biden specifically blamed Texas and Florida.
He went on to say, “just two states, Florida and Texas, account for one third of all new COVID-19 cases in the entire country.”
Biden went on to denounce the “bad” policy of governors who have made mask wearing and vaccinations optional. He ordered them to “get out of the way.”
“I say to these governors, please help,” he stated. “If you’re not going to help at least get out of the way of people who are trying to do the right thing.”
Critics were quick to refute Biden’s claims by calling them ill-informed and politically motivated. Many have cited the fact that more than 100,000 illegal aliens arrived in Texas last month alone. Many of whom tested positive for COVID or were experiencing viral symptoms.
On Tuesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who may have earned a target on his back amid rumors of his potential 2024 presidential bid, warned Biden mandate interventions have “failed time and time again throughout this pandemic.”
DeSantis went on to correct the record by pointing out hospital admissions in his state were slowing down and COVID mortality has continued to decline.

Top Republicans have pledged to do all they can to stop Democrat efforts in passing a massive $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package. During a press conference on Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) argued the proposal isn’t in the best interests of the American people or the economy.
He asserted passing the package would put the nation’s economic recovery at risk. McConnell went on to point out the economy has already been threatened by raging inflation caused by the COVID-19 relief bill passed earlier this year.
Additionally, Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) warned the bill would be a catastrophe for many Americans.
“We’re going to do everything we can to stop it. And I hope that we have some Democrats that will help because if this is in size and scope and scale of what we hear and believe, it’s going to be catastrophic for a lot of folks around the country, namely a lot of the farmers and ranchers who would get hit with the double death tax,” said Thune.
Under the current markup of the Senate, Republicans would need one Democrat to join them in order to block the budget from being passed through reconciliation. In the meantime, two of the more modest Democrats, Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), have shown opposition towards the $3.5 trillion bill, suggesting they would fight to lower its price tag.

The feud between Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) and Joe Biden has ramped up to a whole new level. On Tuesday, Biden launched criticism targeting the governors of Texas and Florida where he commanded them to help him or “get out of the way.”
During a speech on Wednesday that covered Florida’s economy, DeSantis addressed Biden’s statements and pointed a finger right back at him.
“Joe Biden has taken to himself to try and single out Florida over COVID. This is a guy who ran for president saying he was going to ‘shutdown the virus’ and what has he done? He’s imported more virus from around the world by having a wide-open southern border,” stated DeSantis.
The governor’s point matched that of many lawmakers and health officials who have expressed worry over the effect of the Biden border crisis on the U.S.’s coronavirus infection rate. He went on to expose the hypocrisy of illegals being shipped all over the country, quite possibly spreading the new COVID variants Biden is so watchful of.
DeSantis instructed Biden to do his job and secure our border, adding he doesn’t want to hear a “blip about COVID” out of Biden until that’s done. The governor ended his remarks with a direct response to the man in the White House, letting him know he will stand in the way of the government infringing on Florida’s freedom.
The Biden-DeSantis COVID war comes as the Biden administration has urged states to bring back lockdowns and impose vaccine mandates, while DeSantis leads a number of other governors vowing to follow the science and let people live their lives.
8/6/2021 Legality Of Eviction Ban Extension In Question, Landlord Speaks Out On Lost Funds From Renters And Federal Govt. by OAN Newsroom

Just days after the federal eviction moratorium ended, the Biden administration announced a new halt of evictions set to last until October 3. However, doubts concerning the legality of Tuesday’s extension had Americans question if the administration held the authority to extend the eviction ban, with landlords up in arms over the continued debts they have accumulated.
Earlier this week, the Biden administration said a Supreme Court ruling stood in the way of a moratorium. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki disregarded concerns that Joe Biden was not following the rule of law in that decision during a press conference on Wednesday.
“I’m not sure there are Americans evaluating it to that degree,” she expressed. “…He’s gonna do everything in his power to make sure they can stay in their homes as long as possible.”
The move has been met with heavy criticism from landlords who argued they held the burden of providing free housing and many have not received promised payment from the government during the first eviction moratorium. North Carolina landlord Buddy Shoup said he was out $24,000 in unpaid rent from tenants, while one of his renters purchased three boats during the eviction moratorium.
A study by NBC found of the $46 billion in federal aid given to states, only 26 states have allocated 10 percent of the money given to them due to the inconvenient and lengthy process for residents to apply for the assistance.
Stacey Johnson-Cosby, a Kansas City landlord, explained housing providers have been hurt and many have fallen behind on mortgages because of late rental payments.
“All of a sudden you expect your rental payments to make your mortgage payments and then to be able to maintain your property. The government steps in and not only tells us we can’t do that, but demands that we give our product away for free,” she explained. “You do not see that with any other industry. So while they shut the economy down, the burden is on back of the housing provider to house our fellow citizens free of charge. That is not only not fair, it’s not constitutional and it’s not sustainable.”
Johnson-Cosby added renters needed to be made aware they were still reliable for the funds that haven’t been paid. Prior to the extension, Democrat Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) protested the end to the eviction moratorium by sleeping outside the Capitol building.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration maintains the extension is a short term fix they hope will give states the time to create a better system that allocates funds to tenants in need as well as get landlords caught up on missed payments.
8/7/2021 War Of Words Occurs Between Gov. DeSantis And White House by OAN Newsroom

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) has fired back at attempted verbal assaults from the White House. On Friday, DeSantis responded to Joe Biden dismissively referring to him as “governor who?.”
“Well, I guess I’m not surprised that Biden doesn’t remember me. I guess the question is what else has he forgotten?
Biden’s forgotten about the crisis at the southern border, I can tell you that,” said DeSantis. “Biden’s forgotten about the inflation that’s biting the budgets of families all across the country.”
DeSantis’ comments are just the latest in recent days as the White House has been singularly focusing on criticizing the governor.
The Florida governor has refused to institute mask mandates in schools, contravening official Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance. He even threatened to defund public schools that forced masks on their staff and students in the state. This opposition to new restrictions and forced masking has not sat well with the White House.
Press Secretary Jen Psaki responded to DeSantis’ comment demanding the federal government stay out of the way of Florida’s parents, stating the pandemic is too serious to be name calling. “We’re focused on providing public health data, information to the people of Florida to make sure they understand what steps they should be taking, even if those are not the steps taken at the top of the leadership of that state,” said Psaki.
When the attacks fell flat, Psaki was asked if parents should have the “kind of power” to decide if their kids should be wearing masks or not. Her response was to imply Gov. DeSantis has been doing nothing more than putting kids in danger in order to play politics.
On top of pressure form Washington, Florida is facing lawsuits over the constitutionality of banning forced masks in schools. Meanwhile, DeSantis supporters have praised the governor for standing firm against supposed health officials who have not been honest and forthcoming with citizens and imposed baseless mandates.
8/7/2021 President Trump: Why Did Wis. Wait Until After Election To Cancel 205,000 Voter Registrations? by OAN Newsroom

President Trump questioned why Wisconsin waited until after the election to cancel so many voter registrations. In a statement released on Saturday through his Save America PAC, the 45th president pointed out Wisconsin canceled 205,000 voter registrations because they could not locate the voters.
Wisconsin law has required election officials to identify and deactivate voters who have been absent from voting for a total of 4 years. Trump questioned why officials waited until after the election and asked if it meant he would have won the state.
Trump comments comes as the Chair of Wisconsin State Assembly’s election committee announced she was subpoenaing 2020 election materials in two large counties. This would include physical ballots and voting machines.

Joe Biden has reportedly filed vacancies on the federal bench at a much quicker pace than 45th President Trump. According to recent reports, eight of the 33 nominees the Democrat has put forward have already been confirmed by the Senate, including seven last month.
An expert with the Bookings Institution said Biden has appointed more federal judges than any president, at this point in their tenure, in the last forty years. Additionally, 14 of Biden’s picks for the federal court are waiting for confirmation votes in the upper chamber.
For now, it’s unclear if Biden will catch the 45th president’s count of 234 judges confirmed in his first term.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has called on all Americans to oppose masks and vaccines, along with a new round of lockdowns. The Kentucky senator said the latest Democrat proposals on public health were not based on science and would only increase the power of the government.
Paul argued Democrats have used vast amounts of propaganda and fear to justify their actions. He added Americans could avoid government tyranny by simply standing up for the truth.
“We will make our own health choices. We will not show you a passport. We will not wear a mask,” he asserted. “…Biden, we will not accept your agencies’ mandates or your reported moves towards a lockdown. No one should follow the CDC’s anti-science mask mandates.”
Paul also warned he would block any bill to fund the federal government if the Biden administration were to shut down federal agencies again.
8/11/2021 U.S. Tries Again To Extradite Wikileaks’ Assange From Britain by Alistair Smout

LONDON (Reuters) – A London judge on Wednesday widened the scope of a U.S. appeal against a block on the extradition of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange from Britain and will hear the renewed bid in late October.
A judge ruled in January that Assange should not be extradited to the United States to face criminal charges including breaking a spying law, saying his mental health problems meant he would be at risk of suicide.
Assange faces 18 criminal charges in the United States of breaking an espionage law and conspiring to hack government computers.
WikiLeaks published a U.S. military video in 2010 showing a 2007 attack by Apache helicopters in Baghdad that killed a dozen people, including two Reuters news staff. It then released thousands of secret classified files and diplomatic cables.
The legal saga began soon afterwards when Sweden sought Assange’s extradition from Britain over allegations of sex crimes. When he lost that case in 2012, he fled to the Ecuadorean embassy in London, where he spent seven years.
When he was finally dragged out in April 2019, he was jailed for breaching British bail conditions although the Swedish case against him had been dropped.
The United States had already been given permission to appeal the January ruling on three grounds, but on Wednesday asked that the scope of it be expanded to include a reassessment of the expert evidence used to evaluate Assange’s risk of suicide.
Judge Timothy Holroyde said that it was unusual for an appelate court to reconsider evidence from an expert witness when it has been accepted by a lower court.
But he said it was arguable that the appeal court might make a different assessment, given that a key expert had omitted to disclose what he knew about Assange’s relationship with his partner Stella Moris.
“It is my view arguable that the… DJ (district judge) erred,” he said.
Lawyers for both sides agreed that the full appeal hearing should be scheduled for October 27 and 28.
Assange joined the hearing by videolink, wearing glasses, a facemask and a white shirt.

Joe Biden has nominated Idaho attorney Elizabeth Prelogar to be the next U.S. Solicitor General. On Wednesday morning, the White House confirmed Prelogar had been tapped to serve in the position on a permanent basis.
The attorney has spent the past seven months in the role in an acting capacity. Prelogar also served as a prosecutor for Robert Muellar during his independent probe into now-debunked accusations that President Trump worked with Russia in 2016. Additionally, she clerked for Attorney General Merrick Garland when he was on the U.S. court of appeals in Washington, D.C.
Her nomination is now headed to the Senate for confirmation.

With MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s cyber symposium underway, participants have reported multiple threats that they’ve faced during the three-day event. Lindell opened the third day of the election integrity forum, saying another whistleblower had their house raided with all electronic devices taken from their home.
Lindell also said he was attacked outside his hotel in Sioux Falls after the symposium’s second day. In addition, left-wing operatives have reportedly tried to infiltrate and disrupt the event.
During the forum, Lindell has outlined evidence of cyber meddling in the 2020 elections. “We are never quitting, til we get to the truth,” said Lindell. “We got the truth, just to get it out there.”

Joe Biden has asked the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and Russia to increase oil production after decimating the U.S. energy industry and sparking massive inflation. On Wednesday, Biden addressed OPEC and asked its members to boost output by more than 400,000 barrels per day in order to lower fuel prices in the U.S. and help combat runaway inflation.
His administration also launched a probe into the U.S. energy industry over allegations of price gouging amid short supply.
Earlier this year, Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline and banned drilling on federal lands. As a result, U.S. gas prices surged 42 percent and overall energy costs rose 24 percent. This ultimately lifted the costs of logistics, food and consumer goods.
Experts said Biden’s latest action greatly benefits other countries, including Russia, which is now able to boost oil exports and rake in tens of billions of dollars in additional cash revenue.

Former Secretary of Interior Ryan Zinke criticized Joe Biden’s latest request of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). During an interview on Thursday, Zinke said the U.S. is letting other countries take advantage of its energy needs, especially after canceling the Keystone Pipeline.
He added under the Trump administration, America became the largest energy producer in the world. However, Zinke lamented the U.S. is giving foreign allies the advantage of producing energy on their soil. Additionally, forfeiting the ability to profit from and regulate the world’s energy.
“The Biden administration cancels the Keystone Pipeline, but supports Russian pipelines. This policy is anti-American, and it puts the nation at greater risk as far as national security goes,” said Zinke. “Environmentally, it is better to produce energy in this country under reasonable regulation than watching it get produced overseas with no regulation.”
Zinke’s comments come as he prepares to run for Montana’s newly added Congressional seat, where he claims to have endorsement from President Trump.

Election integrity took center stage at Mike Lindell’s much-anticipated cyber symposium. The MyPillow CEO kicked off his 72-hour event in Sioux Falls and said the last seven months came down to this moment despite attempts by left-wing operatives to derail the effort.
He went on to add how every American should be concerned about the left’s threats toward people who question integrity of the U.S. election.
Meanwhile, political commentator Steve Bannon then ripped into Maricopa County officials for refusing to hand over passwords for their machines, ultimately postponing the audit’s process. However, the day was marred by news that a key witness for Lindell had been subjected to a raid as she attended the rally.
On the final day of the symposium, Lindell’s team expanded on multiple threats they faced over the duration of their time in South Dakota. In addition to the raid of the Colorado clerk, the inventor went on to detail a harrowing incident that had happened while outside of his hotel in Sioux Falls.
Lindell claimed he was attacked around 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday night. “I’m OK. It hurts a little bit. I just want everyone to know all the evil that’s out there,” stated the MyPillow CEO.
Moving forward, future political candidates said they will be referencing the fraud found in the 2020 elections and have promised their potential constituents to never allow an election to be so gravely and widely affected again.

Two Texas judges have blocked separate executive orders imposed by Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas). One federal judge extended a temporary restraining order against the executive order imposed by the Texas governor. On Friday, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone extended the order to Aug. 27, blocking Abbott’s directive for state troopers to pull over any vehicle suspected of transporting migrants who may pose a risk of carrying COVID-19.
A temporary restraining order was granted earlier this month per request from the Justice Department and was originally set to expire on Friday. Abbott has previously defended the measure for the health and safety of Texans, while many opponents have said it could lead to racial profiling.
Meanwhile, a separate Texas judge blocked another one of Abbott’s orders later on Friday, which bans local governments and schools from imposing mask mandates. In a statement to KEYE, Travis County Judge Andy Brown said the order overreaches and limits the ability of county officials and health authorities to protect their communities.
However, earlier this week, Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton criticized “attention grabbing judges and mayors” who defied executive orders when the pandemic first began, adding they’ve lost before.
In the meantime, the Republican governor vowed any school district, local government, or public university that chooses to defy the directive, would be taken to court.
8/15/2021 Teachers’ Union Sues Parent Over Public Records Release by OAN Newsroom

The National Education Association announced it is suing the mother of a kindergarten student after she requested information about the schools’ teaching of critical race theory. The country’s largest teachers’ union filed the suit along with a temporary restraining order with the Rhode Island Superior Court earlier this month.
Nicole Solas said this isn’t the first time she has been targeted by the group. She stressed this is a matter of public concern that is subject to public disclosure.
“Every parent has the right to request this information and every parent should. You can request the communications of NEA members with public school officials and public-school employees, and you can read their emails to see exactly how they are implementing critical race theory,” said Solas.
Solas has not received the information she requested and further, the school district slapped her with a $74,000 so-called “record retrieval bill” for the information she was seeking.
Solas attorney, Jon Riches of the Goldwater Institute, said the public records laws are intended to open government up so that the public knows what the government is up to. He also pointed out they were never meant to be turned around on parents just trying to find out what their kids are learning in school.
Solas said she believes the NEA of Rhode Island is simply hiding how gender and critical race theory is being imposed on kindergarteners, and is shielding teachers from the inevitable public outrage if parents were privy to their curriculum.
Point 70 of the union’s legal complaint reads, “it is likely that any teachers who are identifiable and have engaged in discussions about things like critical race theory will then be the subject of teacher harassment by national conservative groups opposed to critical race theory.”

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia rejected a plea by Joe Biden to increase oil production by maintaining their comfortability with current prices. OPEC officials told reporters on Monday, there was “no need” to put out more oil to the market at this point.
OPEC+ added the latest decision to boost product by 400,000 barrels per day would remain intact, despite Biden’s call for a bigger increase. Last week, Biden begged both OPEC and Russia to help reduce energy prices and inflation by boosting oil output.
However, OPEC+ said International Energy Agency data did not support Biden’s calls for more oil.
“As the OPEC+ group has said in many of their meetings, they’re meeting on a monthly basis so they have the opportunity to continue, to halt, or to even reverse the cuts as required by the market,” Oil Market Division Head Troil Bosoni of IEA explained. “So for now, we think that the market is looking relatively well balanced for the remainder of this year.”
OPEC and Russia reportedly planned to keep oil prices around $70.00 per barrel and possibly reduce output if global demand fell again.

8/17/2021 Biden Defends Afghanistan Decision, Blames Afghan Army’s Unwillingness To Fight by Steve Holland and Nandita Bose

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Joe Biden said on Monday he stood “squarely behind” his decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan despite searing images of chaos in Kabul that exposed the limits of U.S. power and plunged him into the worst crisis of his presidency.
Breaking his silence on the U.S. pullout after scenes of bedlam dominated television news channels for days, Biden blamed the Taliban’s takeover in Afghanistan on Afghan political leaders who fled the country and the unwillingness of the U.S.-trained Afghan army to fight the militant group.
He warned Taliban leaders they would face “devastating force” should they interfere with the U.S. pullout. Biden was forced to send U.S. troop reinforcements to Kabul to ensure a safe withdrawal of American diplomatic personnel and civilians as well as Afghan citizens who worked with the United States and could face reprisals.
The panicked evacuation, coming weeks after Biden predicted the Taliban’s takeover in Afghanistan was not inevitable, has dented America’s image on the global stage just as Biden has sought to emphasize to world leaders that “America is back” after former President Donald Trump’s tumultuous four years.
The pullout has also raised fears that militant groups like al Qaeda could reconstitute under Taliban rule.
Biden, rejecting harsh criticism of his Afghan policy from Republican and Democratic lawmakers, some former generals and human rights groups, was resolute in defending his withdrawal from a 20-year war that endured through four presidencies.
“I stand squarely behind my decision,” Biden said in a televised speech at the White House. “After 20 years I’ve learned the hard way that there was never a good time to withdraw U.S. forces. That’s why we’re still there.”
Biden said he found some of the scenes of chaos in Kabul “gut-wrenching” but that he did not start moving out evacuees sooner because Afghan President Ashraf Ghani did not want a mass exodus.
POLITICAL RISKS UNCLEAR
He acknowledged that the Taliban’s speed in retaking the country was unexpected. The rapid advance stunned American officials who predicted that the Afghan army would either repel the militants or hold them off for months.
“The truth is: This did unfold more quickly than we anticipated. So what’s happened? Afghanistan political leaders gave up and fled the country. The Afghan military gave up, sometimes without trying to fight,” Biden said.
He also doled out criticism to his Republican predecessor, Trump, whose administration negotiated a deal with the Taliban that Biden said left the group “in the strongest position militarily since 2001.”
Critics of Biden have focused on the way the U.S. withdrawal is being carried out, as video showed Afghans flooding runways at the Kabul airport and desperately trying to grab the fuselage of a U.S. plane rolling on the tarmac.
“The president’s failure to acknowledge his disastrous withdrawal provides no comfort to Americans or our Afghan partners whose lives hang in the balance,” Republican Senator Mitt Romney said in a tweet.
Biden singled out for criticism the two main Afghan leaders, Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah, head of the country’s High Council for National Reconciliation, saying they had “flatly refused” his advice to seek a political settlement with the Taliban.
“How many more generations of America’s daughters and sons would you have me send to fight Afghans – Afghanistan’s civil war, when Afghan troops will not? How many more lives – American lives – is it worth? How many endless rows of headstones at Arlington National Cemetery?” Biden asked.
On Monday night, Biden on Monday authorized up to $500 million from an emergency fund to meet “unexpected urgent” refugee needs stemming from the situation in Afghanistan, including for Afghan special immigration visa applicants, the White House said.
The United States is preparing to begin evacuating thousands of Afghan applicants for special immigration visas (SIVs) who risk retaliation from Taliban insurgents because they worked for the U.S. government.
Whether Biden will face a long-term political risk for Afghanistan is unclear. Foreign policy does not typically play a major role in U.S. elections. Many Americans have expressed support for Trump’s and Biden’s decision to leave Afghanistan, America’s longest war. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/americas-longest-war-20-years-missteps-afghanistan-2021-08-16
But Republican Representative Mike McCaul signaled his party might try to frame the Afghan chaos as a national security issue that makes the United States more vulnerable to terrorist attack.
“I think it is going to taint this presidency, to a large degree, on national security,” he said.
The United States and allies invaded Afghanistan following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington and toppled the Taliban, who had hosted al Qaeda militants responsible for the attack.
Biden also said his decision was a result of the commitment he made to American troops that he was not going to ask them to continue to risk their lives for a war that should have ended long ago.
“Our leaders did that in Vietnam when I got here as (a) young man. I will not do it in Afghanistan,” he said. “I know my decision will be criticized but I would rather take all that criticism than pass this decision on to another president.”

8/17/2021 Calif. Nurses Protest Vaccine Mandate by OAN Newsroom

Strict vaccine requirements in California has led health care workers to push-back against the mandate. During a protest Monday, nurses from the Golden State came together outside the state capitol in Sacramento to show their opposition of the mandate.
The demonstration came after Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom said earlier this month that state and health care workers would need to prove full vaccination or be tested at least once per week.
An attendee of the protest, Sacramento nurse Carly Rinaldi, said it’s upsetting to hear fellow nurses be given an ultimatum over their job. Meanwhile, nurse Laura Estrella from Modesto also weighed in by noting she wants the same rights as her patients.
“The principle of forcing a vaccine on someone goes against everything we’ve ever been taught as nurses,” stated Estrella. “When patients come in for procedures, we give them the choice whether or not to submit to the procedure we’re recommending and so they have the right to refuse. That’s in their patient consent form and we just want that same right.”
Additionally, she stressed that nurses should be have the right to decide while asserting it’s somebody’s personal choice whether to receive the vaccine or not.
“You know, if we feel the vaccine’s not right us, we should be able to make that decision for our own body,” Estrella continued. “We never gave up medical autonomy to anyone else. We have autonomy over our own bodies to give ourselves what we feel is proper medical treatment for our condition. And if we don’t want the vaccine, we shouldn’t have to take it.”
As the California state government shows little sign of easing up on any such mandates, however, several organizers of Monday’s protest said they plan to rally until the feel they are being heard.
8/18/2021 Critics Slam Biden For Afghanistan Withdrawal, Question His Competency by OAN Newsroom

Many of Joe Biden’s typical supporters in the media and the Washington D.C. establishment are questioning his competency amid the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.
On MSNBC Tuesday, anchor Chuck Todd admitted Biden’s handling of Afghanistan lost him his so-called “high-marks in competency.” Todd added, Biden was unprepared to retreat from Afghanistan, which is causing a show and muddled response from the American government.
“Joe Biden’s greatest strength against Donald Trump in the campaign was the idea that he’s been around the block, he knows what he’s doing, we’re facing this crisis with COVID, we need some basic competency back in government, no more chaos,” explained the anchor. “He’s lost the competency, the high-marks he was getting at one time, and that’s tough to get back.”
The criticism doesn’t stop there. Even several Obama-era officials are calling out Biden. In an op-ed Monday, former diplomat Brett Bruen said Biden needs to shake up his National Security Council by firing his adviser Jake Sullivan. Bruen asserted that Sullivan has failed to adequately advise Biden and is contributing to the “unnecessarily embarrassing” situation in Afghanistan.
Additionally, a top advisor to Obama, David Axelrod, stressed Biden should have embraced his response to the Taliban’s takeover. Axelrod said the Biden administration can play the blame game all they want. It’s Biden who’s in charge of the withdrawal, however, not former administrations.
“It’s a failure and he (Biden) needs to own that failure; he’s the Commander in Chief,” stated the former adviser. “You know, it’s fine to say the Afghans didn’t fight. That is true. We invested $90 billion or so in their army and the police there. They folded immediately; that is true. You can blame the Trump administration, but he’s the Commander in Chief now.”
Meanwhile, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are pressing Biden to reveal his next steps in responding to the situation in Afghanistan.

According to the 45th president, Joe Biden has humiliated the U.S. more than any other president in his handling of the troop withdrawal in Afghanistan. In an interview Tuesday, Donald Trump called the incident a “terrible time for our country” while likening it to Jimmy Carter’s handling of the Iran hostage crisis in 1979.
He also noted the U.S. was set up by people who are “very great negotiators” and said they likely consider anyone left in the country to be “hostages.” Trump added, he never had confidence in the government of President Ashraf Ghani who he says was only in it for the money.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration is reportedly admitting to being unable to guarantee safety of U.S. citizens who are seeking evacuation from the Middle Eastern country. According to CBS news Tuesday, Americans stranded in Afghanistan are receiving a message instructing them to head to the airport in Kabul.
The message explicitly says the “United States government cannot guarantee your security as you make this trip.” The messages obtained by CBS also contradicts the State Department’s own statements on evacuations.
“Our team is working hand in glove with military colleagues to help load planes safely and securely and as fast as possible,” said State Department spokesperson Ned Price. “We’ve now completed our drawdown to the core diplomatic presence we need and at this time, we will no longer at this time, no longer need to facilitate departures for our embassy personnel. All remaining embassy staff will be assisting departures from Afghanistan.”
At least 10,000 Americans may still be trapped in Afghanistan amid the Taliban’s takeover.
8/18/2021 Universities Fine Students For Not Getting Vaccinated by OAN Newsroom

As students prepare to return to campus, several universities said they are requiring mandatory vaccination. Quinnipiac University in Connecticut announced in an email on Monday that students who aren’t vaccinated without exemption, could see up to a $2,275 fee for not complying.
Along with the fine, students have the potential to also lose access to Wi-Fi and campus networks. Meanwhile, students have until Sept. 14 to fulfill the requirement or face consequences.
West Virginia Wesleyan College has implemented a similar protocol. The university revealed they will now require all unvaccinated students to pay a one time non-refundable fee of $750. Those particular students will also be required to undergo mandatory weekly testing while of course, always wearing masks.
Dr. James Moore explained the fee would be used to cover expenses that come with increased testing and other resources that the college will have to utilize and deploy to keep every student safe.
In June, Rhodes College in Tennessee was the first to mention plans of charging unvaccinated students a fee of $1,500 a semester. Additionally, many colleges have begun a trend of handing out incentives for students to get the vaccine. The incentives include receiving laptops, gift certificates or even help with tuition.
In the meantime, schools like the University of Connecticut have seen backlash from students who have already filed a lawsuit against their vaccine mandates for the upcoming school year.
8/18/2021 Report: Vaccine Booster Shots Expected To Be Available Sept. 20 by OAN Newsroom

Health officials said they expect vaccine booster shots to be available to the public on Sept. 20. That’s according to a statement released on Wednesday that said the availability of the shots is dependent on authorization by the Food and Drug Administration and approval by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Officials said they expect on that date those who were fully vaccinated during the earliest roll out, including health care workers and the elderly, will be eligible for the shot. According to the surgeon general, protection against mild and moderate disease has decreased over time, attributing it to waning immunity and the Delta variant.
“We are concerned that this pattern of decline we are seeing will continue in the months ahead, which could lead to reduced protection against severe disease, hospitalization and death,” said Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy.
All other individuals will be able to receive the booster eight months after their second dose. The initial boosters are said to be for those inoculated with the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, adding those who received the Johnson & Johnson shot will likely need boosters as well.

A state board in Georgia has launched an investigation into election operations in Fulton County. The Georgia Board of Elections voted unanimously on Wednesday to establish a bipartisan panel in order to conduct a performance review of election officials in Fulton County.
The panel is designed to examine maintenance and operation of election equipment, the voter registration and election process, as well as compliance with state law.
One voter integrity group, Voter GA, has advanced a lawsuit to present what it says is evidence of fraud in Fulton County.
“Defendants in the case have now responded and the responses are split. Three of the five defendants have responded with another attempt to dismiss the case,” said Liza Miller. “However, two of the five defendants want to move forward with inspection and are not opposing our efforts to inspect the ballots for counterfeits. This should help us get court approval of the inspection.”
The review will be followed by a hearing on the findings and could lead to the state board suspending the county board if it finds evidence of wrongdoing. Fulton County accounts for 11 percent of Georgia’s entire vote.

GENEVA (Reuters) - Current data does not indicate that COVID-19 booster shots are needed, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday, adding that the most vulnerable people worldwide should be fully vaccinated before high-income countries deploy a top-up.
The comments came just before the U.S. government said it planned to make the booster shots widely available to all Americans starting on Sept. 20 as infections from the Delta variant of the coronavirus rise.
WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan, asked about the need for boosters to increase protection against the disease, told a Geneva news conference: “We believe clearly that the data today does not indicate that boosters are needed.”
Further research was needed, she added.
WHO senior adviser Bruce Aylward, referring to booster shots being administered in high-income countries, told reporters: “There is enough vaccine around the world, but it is not going to the right places in the right order.”
Two doses should be given to the most vulnerable worldwide before boosters are administered to those fully-vaccinated, he said, adding: “We are a long, long way from that.”

8/19/2021 Report: FBI Had Video Of Hunter Biden Saying Laptop Taken By Russians by OAN Newsroom

According to a new report, the FBI may have been aware that Hunter Biden was worried about potential blackmail by Russian intelligence. On Wednesday, the Federalist reported the FBI seized the hard drive of one of Hunter’s laptops back in December of 2019 that contained a video recently released by the Daily Mail.
That video shows Hunter confessing that Russians took another laptop of his during a drug-fueled party in Las Vegas, Nevada a year prior. Hunter also said that device contained videos of him “doing crazy sex” and Russians may use it against him.
The Federalist discovered the FBI knew about that incident and asserted that it makes the whole Biden family a national security risk.
“No no no, because my dad running for president. He is, he is, he is. I talk about it all the time. If they do, he also knows I make like a gazillion dollars.”

The Federalist report also raises questions on whether the FBI briefed the 2020 Biden campaign on the matter. If so, then why did Joe Biden not tell his voters about it ahead of last year’s election?

Joe Biden dismissed concerns about fatalities of fleeing Afghans during a heated interview about the Taliban takeover. On Wednesday, Biden was asked about recently surfaced videos, which show residents falling to their death as they cling to evacuation planes. The Democrat brushed this off as something that happened “four-to-five days ago'” when it was, in fact, only two.
Biden was then grilled for his judgment in July when he predicted a tragedy like this was highly unlikely.
“The idea that the Taliban would takeover was premised on the notion that somehow the 300,000 troops we had trained and equipped was gonna just collapse, they were gonna give up,” he previously stated. “I don’t think anybody anticipated that.”
Biden went on to say he does not believe there was a better way his administration could have withdrawn troops from Afghanistan. However, a Trump-era program, which could quickly airlift Americans from Afghanistan, was found to have been scrapped by his administration.
According to the National Pulse on Wednesday, Biden shut down the State Department’s Contingency and Crisis Response Program earlier this year. The program, implemented by the Trump administration, was designed to provide diplomatic, medical and logistical support to Americans abroad to prevent Benghazi-style situations. Biden’s officials reportedly defunded that program in June as part of its reversals of President Donald Trump’s policies.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Taliban must decide whether it wants to be recognized by the international community, U.S. President Joe Biden said in an ABC interview aired on Thursday, adding that he did not think the group had changed its fundamental beliefs.
Asked if he thought the Taliban had changed, Biden told ABC News, “No.”
“I think they’re going through a sort of existential crisis about: Do they want to be recognized by the international community as being a legitimate government? I’m not sure they do,” he said, adding that the group appeared more committed to its beliefs.
But, he added, the Taliban also had to grapple with whether it could provide for Afghans.
“They also care about whether they have food to eat, whether they have an income that … can run an economy, they care about whether or not they can hold together the society that they in fact say they care so much about,” Biden said in the interview, taped on Wednesday. “I’m not counting on any of that.”
He also added that it would take economic and diplomatic pressure — not military force — to ensure women’s rights.

According to a recent poll, a significant majority of Democrats support government censorship. In Pew Research’s recent censorship poll, 65 percent of Democrats reported they want the government to censor allegedly misleading information online. This shows a 40 percent increase from just three years ago.
The majority of Democrats responded, “the government should take steps to restrict false information, even if it means limiting freedom of information.”
Republicans on the other hand have dropped from 37 percent to 28 percent in support of government censorship. The massive shift by Democrats against free speech indicates Americans are now about evenly split on the issue of state censorship, with just half of all citizens opposing government control of speech.

The U.S. Secretary of Education is preparing to launch investigations on states that are banning mask mandates. During an interview on Sunday, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said the Office for Civil Rights would be investigating claims to ensure students keep their rights.
“The Department has the authority to investigate any state educational agency whose policies or actions may infringe on the rights of every student to access public education equally,” said Cardona. He added states banning mask mandates are “needlessly placing students, families and educators at risk.”
Florida and Texas are just two of several states that have implemented bans on enforcing masks in schools. Cardona added school districts who defy governor bans on masks would receive federal funding.
This comes as Joe Biden asked Cardona to “access all available tools” that can be used against states going against public health measures.

Several GOP state attorneys general are opposing the Biden administration’s efforts to regulate gun parts. In a recent letter to the acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), 20 officials argued the agency doesn’t have the legal authority to regulate parts of incomplete guns, rather only complete firearms.
They also contend individuals and businesses have the right to assemble firearms for their own use under federal law.
Additionally, the group pointed out the agency has acknowledged the proposal would put many gun part makers out of business.
“The Second Amendment is a core tenant of our Constitution, and this regulation would treat the activity of assembling firearm parts as a problem to be stamped out, rather than a right and tradition to be respected,” said West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey in a statement.
This comes as the Biden administration has yet to finalize the rule, which seeks to target homemade firearms that are also referred to as ghost guns.
8/26/2021 China Criticises U.S. ‘Scapegoating’ Over COVID Origin Report by Gabriel Crossley and Michael Martina

BEIJING/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -China on Wednesday criticized the U.S. “politicization” of efforts to trace the origin of the coronavirus, demanding without any evidence that American labs be investigated, ahead of the release of a U.S. intelligence report on the virus.
The U.S. report https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-review-covids-china-origin-unlikely-solve-vexing-questions-2021-08-24 is intended to resolve disputes among intelligence agencies considering different theories about how the coronavirus emerged, including a once-dismissed theory about a Chinese laboratory accident.
“Scapegoating China cannot whitewash the U.S.,” Fu Cong, director-general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ arms control department, told a briefing.
U.S. President Joe Biden received a copy and was briefed on the classified report on Tuesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Wednesday.
The intelligence community has been “working expeditiously” to prepare an unclassified version for the public, Psaki said without giving a timeline for its release.
U.S. officials say they do not expect the review to lead to firm conclusions after China stymied earlier international efforts to gather key information on the ground.
China has said a laboratory leak was highly unlikely, and it has ridiculed a theory that coronavirus escaped from a lab in Wuhan, the city where COVID-19 infections emerged in late 2019, setting off the pandemic.
Beijing has instead suggested https://www.reuters.com/article/china-diplomacy/analysis-china-pushback-on-covid-19-rights-trumps-push-for-better-relations-with-west-idUSL4N2OV1TJ that the virus slipped out of a lab at the U.S. Army’s Fort Detrick base in Maryland in 2019.
“It is only fair that if the U.S. insists that this is a valid hypothesis, they should do their turn and invite the investigation into their labs,” Fu said.
Fu said China was not engaged in a disinformation campaign.
The fringe idea once put forward by individual Chinese officials – which lacks any public evidence – has become a Chinese government talking point as it attempts to deflect criticism about its possible role in the origins of the virus.
On Wednesday, the Chinese embassy in Washington posted the calls for World Health Organization investigations at Fort Detrick and at the University of North Carolina to its website after it said U.S. media had rejected its editorial submissions.
And on Tuesday, China’s envoy to the United Nations asked the head of the WHO for an investigation into U.S. labs.
A joint WHO-Chinese team visited the Wuhan Institute of Virology but the United States said it had concerns about the access granted to the investigation.
“The early days of the pandemic were irrefutably in China, yet China continues to obfuscate and deny the international community the needed access,” a senior U.S. administration official said, adding that if a future pandemic were to originate in the United States, it would insist on a “swift and transparent” evaluation.
“If there were sound, technically credible reasons for a U.S. investigation, we would of course support it. But there are none,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio, who has argued a Chinese lab leak was plausible, in a statement urged the Biden administration to immediately declassify the report.
“The American people deserve to know what our government does and does not know about the origins of COVID-19,” Rubio said.
A key Congressional panel has been advised it may receive a copy of the classified report on Thursday, according to a Congressional official.

New reports are sparking serious concern about the safety of Americans stranded in Afghanistan. A Thursday Politico exclusive alleged the Biden administration gave the Taliban a list of Americans and allies who need to enter the Kabul airport.
This prompted Republicans like congressman Dan Bishop (R-N.C.) to say handing this information to a terrorist group dead set on killing Americans is “insane.” He took to Twitter to express his concern on the matter.
During a press conference on Thursday, Joe Biden did not deny allegations from the report. Instead, he fumbled through a response suggesting it very well could have happened.
“I cant tell you with any certitude that there’s actually been a list of names, there may have been,” he stated. “But I know of no circumstance…doesn’t mean it didn’t exist, that here’s the names of 12 people that are coming, let them through…it very well could have happened.”
Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) also weighed in by calling on Congress to immediately investigate this safety risk to hundreds of Americans still in Afghanistan. He noted on social media, “this is deeply concerning and reckless behavior, putting American citizens and our allies at risk.” Only time will tell if this concerning issue gets addressed.

Lawmakers and political figures on both sides of the aisle suggest missteps by the Biden administration may have left Americans vulnerable to the suicide bombing at the Kabul airport on Thursday.
In a video statement Friday, former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard said America’s powerful elite have downplayed the threat of ISIS and Al-Qaeda for reasons she could not detail because of her active-duty status.
“This incident should remind the American people that ISIS and Al-Qaeda are alive and well,” Gabbard stated. “And are actively continuing to use terror to try to force the world to accept their demand that we convert to their interpretation of Islam.”
In an interview Thursday, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said Afghanistan is a “tinderbox” right now and cautioned that the violence would likely escalate in the near future.
“Now it’s a tinderbox and quite honestly, we have to be very careful,” he stated. “We’ve heard reports of additional bombs later this afternoon. I think the situation’s going to get even more desperate in the coming days.”
Tillis surmised that Biden’s lack of planning has exponentially complicated the situation.
“Well, my position is we should have never had a date and we should have had more contingency plans than putting over 5,000 service members in a box canyon called Kabul airport,” the senator continued.
The Armed Services Committee member said his office has been dedicated 24-hours a day to getting people out of Afghanistan. He’s questioning the administration’s readiness or plans to extract Americans left in the region after the deadline.
“What’s the solution?” Tillis asked. “It’s not enough to exit on August the 31st and ‘say hey we did what we could.’
There are American citizens, there a green card holder, there are people who have been issued as SIV visas and there are thousands in the pipeline who deserve to have them and deserve to get evacuated.”
The Republican lawmaker is concerned that the Biden administration is not taking all of those individuals into account.
“I think that we’re underestimating the number of people who are at risk of being stranded in Afghanistan,” he explained. “I think American citizens, certainly green card holders and absolutely special immigrant visa holders.”
Also on Thursday, House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik said Joe Biden has blood on his hands. She added, “this horrific national security and humanitarian disaster is solely the result of Joe Biden’s weak incompetent leadership…he is unfit to be commander-in-chief.”

The Pentagon confirmed a recent strike targeting ISIS-K members actually killed two terrorists in Afghanistan. In a statement on Friday, U.S. Central Command initially reported that an unmanned airstrike in the Nangarhar Province killed one ISIS-K member. There is no known civilian casualties.
In a briefing on Saturday, officials said the strike took out two high-profile planners and wounded another.
The over-the-horizon counterterrorism operation comes after the terrorist group claimed responsibility for the deadly bombing outside the Kabul airport that took the lives of 13 U.S. service members. Following the attack, Joe Biden vowed “we will hunt you down and make you pay.”
In the meantime, the U.S. military has yet to comment on whether the targets were directly connected to Thursday’s terror attack. Additionally, Maj. Gen. Hank Taylor warned Americans to stay away from the Kabul airport.
“Because of security threats at the Kabul airport, we continue to advise U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates.”
Officials said the evacuation mission continues with 1,400 individuals screened for flights out of Kabul on Saturday. Over the last 24 hours, a total of 66 flights have taken 6,800 evacuees out of the city with a total evacuation number of more than 117,000.

North Carolina has inched one step closer to imposing harsher punishments on individuals who engage in rioting and vandalism. House Bill 805 recently passed the Senate along party lines in a 25 to 18 vote.
The proposal sought to punish rioters with felony charges as well as jail time and heft fines, especially on participants causing injury or damages exceeding $1,500.
The measure would also create penalties for assaulting emergency responders and inciting others to a riot. GOP Sen. Danny Britt (N.C.) said the bill only seeks those who willfully engage in damage to property or damage to a person.
“What this law is doing is it is keeping our cities safe, our property safe,” he expressed. “While also allowing folks to exercise their First Amendment right, their First Amendment freedoms to protest.”
The new measures are in response to the violence seen in the wake of the death of George Floyd, which was estimated to have caused millions of dollars in damage in North Carolina alone. Critics however, call it an anti-democracy bill.
“We’re saying don’t do it. Even if you remain peaceful you could get arrested and spend two nights in jail,” expressed Sen. Natalie Murdock (D-N.C.). “Your protests for change are not welcome here. It sends a message that will cause people to police themselves and simply stay at home.”
Meanwhile, Saturday reports say the bill returned to the Republican controlled House where it’s expected to pass before heading to Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper’s (N.C.) desk.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Joe Biden will meet with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy at the White House on Wednesday in a show of solidarity between the two countries, the White House said on Sunday.
The meeting is taking place two days later than originally scheduled, as Biden oversees the response to Hurricane Ida and the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.
“This visit will affirm the United States’ unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia’s ongoing aggression,” a White House statement said.
Kyiv and Moscow have been at odds since Russia annexed the Crimea peninsula from Ukraine in 2014 and backed separatists in a conflict in Ukraine’s eastern Donbass region, which Ukraine says has killed 14,000 people.
The leaders will also discuss energy security as well as the White House’s “backing for President Zelenskiy’s efforts to tackle corruption and implement a reform agenda based on our shared democratic values,” the statement added.
The meeting comes after the Biden administration announced a deal https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-germany-deal-nord-stream-2-pipeline-draws-ire-lawmakers-both-countries-2021-07-21 last month with Germany intended partly to allay Ukrainian concerns about the Nord Stream 2 pipeline being built under the Baltic Sea to carry gas from Russia’s Arctic region to Germany.
U.S. ties with Ukraine were in the spotlight over Zelenskiy’s unwilling involvement in events leading to the first of two impeachment trials for Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump.
Trump was impeached in 2019 over what White House aides described as an effort to withhold nearly $400 million in aid and a coveted White House visit unless Ukrainian officials announced investigations into Biden, then a Democratic presidential candidate, and his businessman son, Hunter Biden.

House Democrats have continued to target President Trump, his family and Republican lawmakers as part of a probe into the Capitol protests. Reports on Monday revealed the January 6 Committee planned to request phone companies preserve records of the 45th president and his GOP allies in connection with the “Stop the Steal” rally.
Notices to phone companies have been set to go out this week, but the move would likely face legal challenges. GOP lawmakers have responded to these requests by asserting they had nothing to hide, while arguing the committee did not have the legal power to use the subpoena authority to collect private records.
This comes just days after the panel sent requests to eight government agencies for communications and documents from within the Trump White House. The committee also made demands for 15 social media companies to submit records related to January 6.
Trump vowed to fight for what he has called a “partisan sham” by claiming executive privilege over the records.

8/31/2021 Polish Court To Rule On Primacy Of EU Law Amid Deepening Row With Brussels by Alan Charlish

WARSAW (Reuters) -Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal is set to rule on Tuesday on whether the country’s constitution or European Union treaties take precedence, a judgment that could further strain Warsaw’s already troubled relationship with the bloc.
The catalyst for the ruling has been a long-running dispute with the EU over changes to the court system in Poland, with Brussels angered by what it sees as attempts to undermine the independence of the judiciary. Warsaw accuses Brussels of unjustified meddling in its internal affairs.
The primacy of European laws over national ones is a key tenet of EU integration. Opposition politicians in Poland say Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki’s challenge to this tenet not only jeopardises the country’s long-term future in a union that has helped drive its economic growth, but also the stability of the bloc itself.
“If at some point Poland stops implementing the rulings of the European Court of Justice, the whole EU system falls apart,” an EU official told Reuters.
The Polish government argues the EU treaties do not give Brussels the right to interfere with the judicial systems of member states and that Poland is being treated unfairly as other European countries organise courts in a similar way.br>
“The constitution is the highest law in our country,” Cabinet Minister Michal Wojcik said in a statement to Reuters. “If it were otherwise, it would mean that we are not a sovereign state. We did not agree to this in the EU treaties.”
POLEXIT?
While some lawyers use the term “Polexit” to describe what they say are Warsaw’s efforts to remove itself from the EU’s legal framework, Poland is unlikely to leave the bloc for the foreseeable future.
There is no legal way to throw countries out of the EU and surveys show an overwhelming majority of Poles support membership.
But some government critics say Poland risks an eventual loss of EU funding.
The government has been accused of politicising key bodies in the judicial system, including the Constitutional Tribunal itself. Poland’s ruling nationalists, the Law and Justice party (PiS), counter that the reforms were needed to remove communist-era influence, asserting that many judges regarded themselves as above the law.
The EU’s top court also ruled last month that a Polish disciplinary chamber for judges was illegal, a day after the Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw ruled that Poland should ignore a previous demand to stop the chamber operating.
Following a threat of possible financial penalties from the European Commission, Poland said it would disband the chamber, but failed to detail how it would replace it. Brussels has yet to comment on Warsaw’s response other than to say that it is analysing it.

9/1/2021 Report: Biden Praised Afghan Military Before Collapse To Taliban In Phone Call To Afghan President Weeks Before Takeover by OAN Newsroom

A transcript obtained by Reuters has recently revealed Joe Biden told Afghan President Ashraf Ghani that his country’s military would be able to fight off the Taliban. The 14-minute conversation took place on July 23, just weeks before the Taliban took over the country.
Biden had also told Ghani they would help the Afghan government survive, but stated there was a perception problem with its government. However, 24 hours after the last U.S. troop left the region, Biden has continued to defend his disastrous pullout.
Meanwhile, more than a hundred Americans are still stranded in Kabul, despite the decades long war coming to an end.
Biden addressed the nation from the White House for the first time since the U.S. completely pulled out of Afghanistan.
He was two hours late for Tuesday’s speech, which came 24 hours after the war officially ended. Biden took a combative and defensive tone after critics in the media lambasted his strategy as chaotic following the loss of 13 U.S. service members and more than 180 Afghan citizens.
However, Biden called it a great success.
“The extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of the United States military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals.”
Biden said the decision to pull troops out abruptly was that of a unanimous recommendation by leaders in the State Department, the Department of Defense and other commanders in the field. He added it was time to end this decades long war and acknowledged the terrorist presence in Kabul would remain strong.
Looking forward, Biden has vowed to look after those, especially women and children, who are trapped under the Taliban’s rule. “We’ll continue to support the Afghan people through diplomacy, international influence and humanitarian aid,” said Biden.
Though there are no more U.S. personnel left in the war-torn country, Biden has signaled the U.S. will continue to be active in Afghanistan as long as there’s still a terrorist threat.
[BASED ON WHAT IS ABOVE BIDEN MADE CONTINUOUS MISTAKES ON REMOVAL OF TROOPS AND KNEW MORE THAN HE IS TELLING AND IF THAT IS TRUE THEN WE MAY ASSUME THAT THEY WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN WHICH HAS LED TO CHINA, RUSSIA, AND THE TALIBAN TO HAVE GAINED LAND CLOSER TO THE EUPHRATES RIVER TO BRING THE REVELATION 16:12 FOR THEIR ATTACK ON THE WESTERN COUNTRIES AND WE MAY SEE A WORLD WAR III AFTER ALL THANKS TO THEIR TREACHERY.
Revelation 16:12 "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared."
We can only assume that the vial would cause some type of catastrophe that would have the Euphrates River to dry up or change its direction so that the kings of the east could cross over it. The river starts from Armenia where the Mountain Ararat is and where the Bible states in Genesis 8:4 "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."].

Gen. Mark Milley has attempted to tamp down anxiety being felt by thousands of veterans in the wake of the botched Afghanistan withdrawal. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff wrote a letter to the entire American Joint Force on Tuesday, expressing gratitude for their service in Afghanistan over the past two decades. He told U.S. troops they can hold their head up high for preventing an attack on the homeland.
Additionally, Milley spoke publicly for the first time since U.S. troops withdrew from Afghanistan during a retirement ceremony for Gen. Robert Adams where he also acknowledged the cost of war.
“All of us are conflicted with feelings of pain and anger, sorrow and sadness combined with pride and resilience,” said Milley. “But one thing I am certain of, for any soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine and their family…your service mattered and it was not in vain.”
Milley added, a long chapter in American history is now closed.
“This mission was historic and each of you who participated in this operation demonstrated compassion, character, commitment and exceptional competence in the execution of this high risk mission in a very fluid, dynamic, and dangerous operational environment,” stated Milley.
9/3/2021 Jan. 6 riot defendant returned to jail for using internet
IOWA CITY, Iowa – A federal judge on Thursday ordered a prominent participant in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol to return to jail after he was caught accessing the internet to watch false conspiracy theories about the presidential election. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly said that Doug Jensen, 42, of Des Moines, Iowa, had violated the strict conditions that were set when he released Jensen from jail on July 13, including prohibitions on accessing the internet and using a cellphone.

Government watchdog group Judicial Watch is fighting against injustice by filing a lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) over its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a new Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, the oversight group is demanding that the HHS release the emails of NIH Director Francis Collins relating to gain-of-function research, the Wuhan lab and hydroxychloroquine.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton alleges the HHS was not transparent about the funding of bat virus research in Wuhan by the NIH. Additionally, Judicial Watch is seeking documents about HHS assessments of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19. The group argues the HHS may have covered-up the truth about COVID-19 for political reasons.
Judicial Watch is also leading an inquiry into what it calls suspected “collusion” between The Gates Foundation and China regarding the sale of Chinese-made medications worldwide.
“On the approach for leveraging China’s resources to help others, Gates Foundation is working with Chinese government on donations to its neighboring countries and African countries such as anti-malaria medications,” Fitton stated. “…More specially, it helps Chinese companies to gain prequalification of medications, so that Chinese company manufactured drugs can be sold outside of China.”
The watchdog group went on the claim U.S. and China are working hand-in-hand to pass egregious health policies while accusing the Gates Foundation of acting as a foreign agent for the communist country.

All around in Washington D.C. they're trying to track me down.
They say they want to bring me in guilty.
For the killing of a Babbitt.
For the life of a Babbitt, but I say.
I shot the Babbitt, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the Babbitt, and they say it is a capital offense.
Republicans always hated me.
For what I don't know.
Since there were two officers behind her.
Every time that I pulled my gun out without a threat.
He said, "Kill the riot before it grows."
He said, "Kill it before it grows", I say.
I shot the Babbitt, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the Babbitt, but I swear it was in self-defense.
Freedom came my way somehow by corrupt security officials.
And I started out of town.
All of a sudden I see Ashli Babbitt.
Aiming to threaten me down.
So I shot her in the head, I say.
I shot the Babbitt, but I did not shoot a Democrat.
I shot the Babbitt, but I did not shoot a Democrat.
Reflexes got the better of me and what is to be must be.
Every day the bucket goes to the well.
But one day the bottom will drop out.
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out, but I say.
I shot the Babbitt, but I did not shoot a Democrat, oh no.
I shot the Babbitt, but I did not shoot a Democrat, oh no.

Joe Biden announced an executive order to declassify documents related to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In a statement released on Friday, Biden said as the U.S. approaches the 20-year mark since the attacks, he’s going to begin the process of releasing documents from America’s investigation.
The information is slated to be revealed over the next six months as the Attorney General’s office prepares the documents.
“Although this development followed the U.S. District Court rulings upholding the government’s privilege assertions, the FBI has decided to review its prior privilege assertions to identify additional information appropriate for disclosure,” said a Justice Department spokesperson. “The FBI will disclose such information on a rolling basis as expeditiously as possible.”
During Biden’s presidential campaign, he had promised to ensure the maximum degree of transparency.
“As I promised during my campaign, my administration is committed to ensuring the maximum degree of transparency under the law, and to adhering to the rigorous guidance issued during the Obama-Biden administration on the invocation of the state secrets privilege,” said Biden in a statement.
He added the nearly 3,000 innocent people killed will always be remembered and said the attacks left a hole in the hearts of many.
“My heart continues to be with the 9/11 families who are suffering, and my administration will continue to engage respectfully with members of this community. I welcome their voices and insight as we chart a way forward,” said Biden.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said there was no leverage for Americans during the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal. In an interview on Friday, Pompeo said the U.S. had actual leverage when we held Bagram Air Base and had troops on the ground. However, that leverage no longer exists.
He added he believes when the Biden administration officials talk about leverage, they actually mean money, implying the U.S. would pay the Taliban to let remaining Americans out. Pompeo also suggested that in conversations with Afghan leadership, Biden was informed the Afghan military would collapse without U.S. support. Therefore, showcasing the Biden administration’s dishonesty.
In addition, Pompeo called Biden and former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani’s phone conversation regarding Afghan military preparedness, “unforgiveable.”
“Biden knew the truth; he knew the truth that the Afghan army still needed continuous American support. The intelligence community, our military leaders were all very clear during our entire four years that they continue to need our support in spite of all that we had done for them,” Pompeo said in an interview.
9/4/2021 Biden Sends Mixed Messages On Lackluster Economic Recovery by OAN Newsroom

Joe Biden said the economy was recovering well, despite August’s lackluster jobs report. According to Friday’s report, only about 230,000 jobs were created in August, while predictions said three times as many should have been created.
This would mean unemployment dropped only two tenths of a percent as it now sits at 5.2. Biden blamed the worst of the results on the Delta variant as well as people who have refused the COVID-19 vaccine.
Even with these problems, Biden said he believed the so-called Biden plan was working to bring the economy back from lockdown ruin.
“Despite the impact of the Delta variant, and I’ll talk a little more about that in a minute, what we’re seeing is an economic recovery that’s durable and strong,” he claimed. “The Biden plan is working. We’re getting results. America is on the move again.”
To fix ongoing issues with the recovery, Biden said taxes on the wealthy needed to be raised and noted the amount of billionaires that have grown during the COVID-19 crisis. Biden added the raised taxes would be used to fund new entitlement programs, which he claimed would help level the playing field.

9/6/2021 Over 1,000 Await Flight Clearance To Leave Afghan City Of Mazar-I-Sharif - Organizer

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – About 1,000 people, including Americans, have been stuck in Afghanistan for days awaiting clearance for their charter flights to leave, an organizer told Reuters, blaming the delay on the U.S. State Department.
The confusion was the latest flashpoint following a chaotic U.S. military withdrawal completed after Taliban Islamist insurgents seized power in Kabul on Aug. 15, after the Western-backed government collapsed.
Exasperated by the delays, the organizer said the State Department had failed to tell the Taliban of its approval for flight departures from the international airport in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif or validate a landing site.
“They need to be held accountable for putting these people’s lives in danger,” said the organizer, who sought anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
Reuters could not independently verify the details of the account.
A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, challenged the idea that Americans were at risk, saying the U.S. government “has not confirmed any Americans are in Mazar-i-Sharif trying to leave from the airport.”
Asked about charter flights, a State Department spokesperson did not address specific accusations but stressed the United States did not have personnel on the ground and so lacked a reliable means to confirm the basic details of charter flights.
That includes verifying the number of U.S. citizens and others aboard, the accuracy of the rest of the manifest or “where they plan to land, among many other issues.”
The spokesperson added, “We will hold the Taliban to its pledge to let people freely depart Afghanistan.”
Earlier on Sunday, the senior Republican on the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, Mike McCaul, told “Fox News Sunday” that six airplanes were stuck at Mazar-i-Sharif airport with Americans and Afghan interpreters aboard, unable to take off as they had not received Taliban clearance.
He said the Taliban were holding passengers “hostage for demands,” but multiple sources disputed that account, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity.
Another Republican U.S. representative, Mike Waltz, called on the State Department to work with non-government groups he said were trying to clear charter flights to evacuate Americans and Afghans at risk.
There were manifested charter flights “available, funded, and ready to fly” people out, Waltz told Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a letter, citing remarks of several NGOs.
The United States’ two decades-long invasion in Afghanistan culminated in a hastily organized airlift that left behind thousands of U.S.-allied Afghans. Washington completed the withdrawal on Aug. 31.

9/6/2021 EU Warns Polish Regions They Could Lose Funding Over ‘LGBT-Free’ Zones

WARSAW (Reuters) – The European Commission has written to five Polish regional councils urging them to abandon declarations that they are “LGBT-free” in order to receive funding, one of the councils affected confirmed on Monday.
The European Union executive is at loggerheads with Poland and Hungary over issues ranging from LGBT rights to press freedoms. In July it launched legal action against both countries over measures it says discriminate against the gay community.
Polish LGBT activists posted a scan of the letter on social media and on Monday a spokesman for the Lubelskie region confirmed receiving it. A European Commission spokeswoman in Warsaw also confirmed the letter had been sent.
“The Commission would like to stress that declaring LGBTIQ-free/unwelcome territories, workplace or services constitutes an action that is against the values set out in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union,” the letter said.
It added that extra funding under part of the bloc’s COVID recovery fund would be put on hold pending the regions’ responses to the Commission’s concerns.
The funds are part of REACT-EU (Recovery Assistance for Cohesion and the Territories of Europe), a package of additional cohesion funds under which Poland has been allocated a total of over 1.5 billion euros.
“At the moment, it (the letter) is being analysed in order to prepare an answer,” the Lubelskie region spokesman said in an email.
Lubelskie and Malopolska regions have both recently voted to remain free of “LGBT ideology.”
Gay rights is a deeply divisive issue in predominantly Catholic Poland.
Many religious conservatives see the fight for LGBT equality as an attack on traditional values. In 2019 numerous local authorities declared themselves free of “LGBT ideology,” seeking to ban what they see as the promotion of homosexuality and other minority sexual identities, especially in schools.
A European Commission spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment on the letter. The Polish Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
Poland has also angered Brussels by asking its Constitutional Tribunal to rule on whether its constitution takes primacy over EU law.
The primacy of EU law is a key tenet of European integration, and European Economic Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni said Poland’s questioning of this principle was holding up the acceptance of its spending plan for recovery funds.

9/6/2021 Democrats Demand Federal Law To Enshrine Roe V. Wade by OAN Newsroom

Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. (Photo by Patrick Semansky-Pool/Getty Images)
Pro-life Americans celebrated Texas the ban of abortions after a heartbeat could be detected in a fetus. Over the holiday weekend however, Democrats unified around a message about what actions were required to respond to the ban.
Many Democrats have demanded federal legislation to enshrine Roe V. Wade into law as it has been only a Supreme Court precedent without legislative backing. Texas Rep. Veronica Escobar (D), who cosponsored the proposed pro-abortion legislation, said she believed Texas’s abortion ban made the state a dangerous place for women and children.
“Texas is now a very dangerous place for women and children,” she claimed. “We are gonna see more states basically import this law and do everything possible to create the most hostile conditions for women in our country.”
When the Supreme Court denied a request to block the Texas law, Escobar demanded the court be expanded and the filibuster abolished. Taking a similar tack, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) noted without 60 votes in the Senate, she too believed the filibuster must be abolished to pass a federal abortion law.
“I believe we should abolish the filibuster,” she stated. “I do not believe an archaic rule should be used to allow us to put our heads in the sand.”
Democrats calling for the end of the filibuster to pass through their political priorities has been nothing new. However, the same Democrat holdouts who refused to get rid of the constitutional measure, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz), have not said they would reconsider just because of the abortion ban.
On top of the 60 vote requirement to pass the law through the Senate, the law could be rendered unnecessary by the court at a later date. Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy (La.) noted the court’s ruling had nothing to do with the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade itself.
Rather, he believed the Supreme Court might overturn the Texas law and added Democrats have used the narrow ruling to rile up their own base for fundraising purposes.
“The ruling on SCOTUS was that the plaintiffs did not have standing. It had nothing to do with the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade. It was only on if the plaintiffs had standing. People are using it to gin up their base to distract from the disastrous policies in Afghanistan,” he expressed. “I think the Supreme Court will swat it away once it comes to them in an appropriate manner.”
Amid Democrats push to expand abortion, pro-life groups are saying they feel emboldened to fight to keep Texas’s law on the books, while also bringing similar abortion bans to other states.
[WELL I HOPE YOU ARE RIGHT FOR ONCE VERONICA THAT THIS WILL SPREAD TO OTHER STATES AS IT SHOULD AND REPUBLICANS WILL NOT USE POLITICS TO TRY TO WIN YOUR CASE WHICH WE DID WITH THE JUDICIAL AND OF COURSE YOUR CONCEPT IS TO REVISE OUR CONSTITUTION TO CHANGE THE COUNTRY.].

9/6/2021 Archbishop Condemns Biden, Pelosi For Supporting Abortion by OAN Newsroom

The archbishop of San Francisco condemned “self-proclaimed Catholics” Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for their hypocritical support of abortion. In a recent op-ed, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone defended Texas’s ban on abortions after six weeks.
Cordileone characterized abortion as the “preeminent human rights issues of our time” and said more than 60 million lives have been lost to abortion since the Roe vs. Wade decision. He added pro-abortion politicians should be denied Holy Communion.
“You cannot be a good Catholic and support expanding a government-approved right to kill innocent human beings,” he stated. “The answer to crisis pregnancies is not violence but love, for both mother and child.”
Last week, Biden called Texas’s law an “unprecedented assault” and directed his administration to look for ways to protect abortion access after the Supreme Court refused to block the law.
9/7/2021 New Anti-Biden Chant Spreads Among College Students Nationwide by OAN Newsroom

A key Biden voter demographic has seemed to be turning against him. Over the past few days, a new anti-Biden chant was heard among college students across the U.S.
College football fans at the Texas A&M Game, as well as at the Coastal Carolina and Virginia Tech games, could be heard singing their opposition to Biden and his policies. The chants were also recorded at several concerts, bars and restaurants in recent days. They have since gone viral on social media.
“It does go to show that your average college football fan is not supportive of the current administration and of the people who pushed to cancel football. Granted, Joe Biden was not president when the coronavirus pandemic started,” explained sports commentator David Hookstead. “He was not president when they restricted fans in 2020, but Fauci and Biden are tied together. In the eyes of many, Fauci and Biden are tied together.”
Students said they have become frustrated with Biden’s lockdowns, poor handling of COVID-19, the botched Afghanistan withdrawal and harmful economic policies of the current White House. In addition, many homeowners have put up flags featuring the same anti-Biden slogan.
This comes as Biden’s approval rating continues to drop.

The State Department tried to take credit for the private rescue of Americans from Afghanistan. An American mother known as Mariam accused the State Department of exaggerating its role in the evacuation of her family.
Veteran Cory Mills and others led the effort to rescue Mariam and her three children. The team was first notified about the stranded family by Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson (R) and worked for weeks on the dangerous mission.
Both Jackson and Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) took to Twitter to comment on the false claims.
“This a flat out lie. The Biden administration abandoned them,” Mullin expressed. “Let’s be clear, it was our team of patriots who worked around the clock for two weeks to get them out, despite the many roadblocks from the State Department.”
Following the successful mission, the State Department said it was happy to announce it facilitated the rescue of four Americans. However, those actually involved said the government deserved little to no credit for the family’s escape.

9/7/2021 Texas Election Reform Bill Signed Into Law By Gov. Greg Abbott by OAN Newsroom

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed a sweeping election reform bill into law after a contentious battle with Democrats. Abbott signed the bill on Tuesday, which marked just days after it cleared both chambers of the state legislature.
The legislation would restrict absentee voting as well as ban 24-hour and drive-through voting. The bill would also set specific hours for early voting and implement voter ID requirements for mail-in ballots.
“One thing that all Texans can agree, and that is that we must have trust and confidence in our elections,” Abbott expressed. “The bill that I’m about to sign helps to achieve that goal. One thing that it does is, it insures that every eligible voter will have the opportunity to vote.”
The passage was held up last month when a group of Texas Democrats fled the state to Washington D.C. in an effort to prevent passage of the Republican-backed bill. Abbott responded by calling for two special sessions and after the Texas House reached a quorum, Republicans were able to pass the legislation.
The bill has been set to take effect just before next year’s primaries.

(Changes reference from COVID-10 to COVID-19.)
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A misinformation campaign on social media in support of Chinese government interests has expanded to new languages and platforms, and it even tried to get people to show up to protests in the United States, researchers said on Wednesday.
Experts at security company FireEye and Alphabet’s Google said the operation was identified in 2019 as running hundreds of accounts in English and Chinese aimed at discrediting the Hong Kong democracy movement. The effort has broadened its mission and spread from Twitter, Facebook and Google to thousands of handles on dozens of sites around the world.
This expansion suggests Chinese interests have made a deeper commitment to the sort of international propaganda techniques Russia has used for several years, experts said.
Some of the new accounts are on networks used predominantly in countries that have not previously been significant Chinese propaganda targets, such as Argentina. Other networks have users around the world but with a large proportion in Russia or Germany.
False information about COVID-19 has been a major focus. For example, accounts on social networking sites vKontakte, LiveJournal and elsewhere in Russian, German, Spanish and other languages have asserted that the novel coronavirus emerged in the United States before China and that it was developed by the U.S. military.
Multiple Russian-language LiveJournal accounts used identical wording: “U.S. Ft. Detrick was the source of COVID-19,” referring to the U.S. Army’s Fort Detrick installation in Maryland.
In addition to promoting false information on the virus, researchers said priorities for the group include criticizing fugitive Chinese propagandist Guo Wengui and his ally, former Donald Trump strategist Steve Bannon, and exploiting concerns about anti-Asian racism.
“We have observed extensive promotion of Russian, German, Spanish, Korean, and Japanese-language content on U.S. and non-U.S.-based platforms, in addition to the typical English and Chinese-language activity that has been widely reported on,” FireEye said in a report published Wednesday. Many of the accounts link to each other or use the same photos, helping the researchers see connections among them.
Many of the posts echo claims in state-controlled Chinese media, and they are consistent with other government propaganda efforts. The researchers do not have proof of involvement by a specific arm or ally of Beijing. The Chinese embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment.
So far, the accounts on the main U.S. platforms and major networks elsewhere such as Russia-based vKontakte have gained little interaction with authentic users, the researchers said.
“A lot of it is tweeting into the void,” said John Hultquist, vice president of intelligence analysis at FireEye.
Some of the posts urged protesters to demonstrate against racism in the United States. In addition, they called on protesters to rally in April outside what the accounts said was the New York home of wealthy expatriate Guo, but there was little evidence that people showed up.
The coordinated fake accounts took that in stride, instead distributing doctored photos of a different protest in a different place.
“It’s almost like they are being paid by volume,” instead of engagement, said Shane Huntley, director of the threat analysis group at Google.
Alphabet’s YouTube has been removing about a thousand channels a month tied to the campaign, though most promote Chinese entertainment more than political views or misinformation.
The production quality is improving, with higher-resolution video and better subtitles, suggesting an investment for the long haul.
Though the accounts have not been successful at blending in and attracting native followers, Hultquist said he was concerned that the dedication of resources would lead to improved technique and more convincing misinformation spreading.
“They’ve clearly got a wide mandate that’s global. Someone is giving them pretty broad orders,” Hultquist said.

Cybersecurity firm FireEye found the Chinese Communist Party led a concerted effort to incite violent riots in the U.S.
In a new report, FireEye found China orchestrated an influence campaign across social media platforms in order to mobilize U.S. protesters in 2020.
Chinese-backed accounts promoted the narratives of systemic racism, coronavirus fears and anti-Trump sentiments. In addition, some COVID misinformation in Russian and German language posts were found to be written by nonnative speakers of those languages.
The accounts were found to be interconnected in the sense they posted similar content, and in many cases identical messaging. It was also reported the accounts engaged in coordinated sharing across 30 social media platforms and over 40 other websites and online forums.
The FireEye report suggested China drove division between the U.S., Europe and Russia. Additionally, it sought to motivate real world activity in those countries.

White House officials appointed by the 45th president are resisting Joe Biden’s push to force them out of office. Reports on Wednesday found the Biden administration told Trump appointees to either resign from military academy boards or face termination.
The move would reportedly affect up to 18 officials including Kellyanne Conway, Sean Spicer and Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought. Vought has already released a statement saying he’s serving a three-year term and Biden has no authority to remove him.
Conway also responded to reports saying she’s not resigning, but Biden should instead.
Meanwhile, Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated, “I will let others evaluate whether they think Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer and others were qualified, or not political, to serve on these boards, but the President’s qualification requirements are not your party registration, they are whether you’re qualified to serve and whether you’re aligned with the values of this administration.”
Critics added the dismissal of Trump officials from the military advisory boards is disappointing and against tradition.

9/9/2021 Top Rights Lawyer Who Fled Russia Decries Political ‘Purge’ by David Chkhikvishvili

TBILISI (Reuters) – A top human rights lawyer who defended jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny’s team and announced this week he had fled Russia accused authorities on Thursday of a mounting campaign to purge the political landscape of people they see as undesirable.
Defence lawyer Ivan Pavlov, 50, gained prominence for taking on politically sensitive cases and defending people charged with treason or espionage by the Federal Security Service, the successor to the Soviet KGB.
He said on Tuesday that he had left for neighbouring Georgia, saying his work had become impossible due to a criminal investigation against him, a set of restrictions placed on him and state pressure on the legal outfit he founded.
He is one of an array of people to flee during a crackdown on supporters of Navalny – a fierce critic of President Vladimir Putin – and on media outlets seen by authorities as hostile and foreign-backed ahead of Sept. 17-19 parliamentary elections.
“An attempt is under way to purge the space of politically undesirable people,” Pavlov told Reuters in an interview in the Georgian capital Tbilisi. He said the stream of people leaving was growing.
“This stream until recently looked like a stream, but it now looks like a violent mountain river. People are not leaving one by one, but whole teams are leaving, whole media outlets,” he said.
Among those to emigrate this year are most of Navalny’s closest allies, whose network was banned as “extremist” in July, journalists for media outlets declared “foreign agents” or banned as “undesirable,” and several anti-government activists.
The Kremlin denies its opponents or critical media outlets are targeted for political reasons and says any criminal action against individuals is the result of them breaking the law.
Moscow’s “foreign agent” and “undesirable” designations are needed to prevent foreign meddling, it says.
Pavlov came under criminal investigation in April, accused of disclosing classified information in his legal defence of former journalist Ivan Safronov, who is being held on treason charges, which he denies.
This summer, Pavlov led the defence of Navalny’s political network at a series of hearings that were closed to the public, which resulted in the groups being banned as “extremist.”
He said he did not think he had been targeted because of his work for Navalny, but for his years of legal wrangling with the Federal Security Service. He denied being a critic of the Kremlin and said his role had been that of a lawyer.
His Komanda 29 legal outfit had its website blocked by authorities this summer and was accused of circulating banned content. It announced it was closing back in July. Pavlov said the writing was already on the wall by then.
“After this we realised they wouldn’t let us work and that this might be the last such signal that we need to leave the country,” he said.

9/9/2021 Biden Admin. Confronted By Decision To Work With Taliban by OAN Newsroom

Members within the Biden administration are working to downplay the U.S. cooperation with the Taliban. During her briefing on Wednesday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki attempted to deny that the White House is close to recognizing the Taliban as a legitimate international authority.br>
“First of all, no one in this administration, not the president nor anyone on the National Security team, would suggest that the Taliban are respected and valued members of the global community,” she asserted. “They have not earned that in any way and we are not, we have never assessed that.”
In the same answer, however, Psaki explained to the bewilderment of the Press Corps that the U.S. government is indeed engaging with the group despite the fact the new Taliban government includes wanted terrorists. This includes their new Acting Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani, leader of the Haqqani network, who’s wanted for a bombing that killed six people, including an American. Haqqani is also believed to have participated in cross-border attacks against U.S. troops.
“What we’re working to do is to engage with them because they oversee and control Afghanistan right now,” she stated. “To get American citizens, legal, permanent residents, SIV applicants out of Afghanistan, we have to engage with them.”
Meanwhile in Germany, Secretary of State Antony Blinken also attempted to downplay any efforts made by the U.S. to engage with the terrorist group. He claimed any international legitimacy or any support from the U.S. would have to be earned by the Taliban. Blinken went into further detail about a problem the administration is having despite “engagement” efforts.
While the administration continues to try and downplay the decision to deal with one of the world’s most prominent terrorist groups, they have yet to explain how they plan to deal with a government made up of terrorists that were released from U.S. custody by the last Democrat to occupy the Oval Office.

9/9/2021 Biden Using Executive Power To Enact Sweeping COVID Mandates by OAN Newsroom

Joe Biden is using his executive authority to enact sweeping new COVID mandates targeting the unvaccinated, private companies and state governors who disagree with him. Speaking from the White House on Thursday, Biden outlined six steps he’s taking to combat the coronavirus.
Biden began his speech by stating the Department of Labor is in the process of developing an emergency rule that would require all companies with 100 or more employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine or receive a negative test every week. Biden then claimed “it’s not about freedom or personal choice.” He instead argued “it’s about protecting yourself and those around you.”
He also said the Department of Labor would require employers to offer paid time off to receive their vaccinations. As for all federal employees and contractors, Biden said they would be required to get vaccinated without the option to provide a negative test instead.
The nationwide mandates would reportedly affect 100 million Americans.
Biden also highlighted how he’s already used his “federal authority” to require vaccinations of all nursing home workers treating patients on Medicare and Medicaid. In addition, he said he would also be expanding the requirement to those working in hospitals and other medical facilities.
“If you want to work with the federal government, you must be vaccinated. If you want to do business with the government, you must vaccinate your workforce,” said Biden.
Further, Biden took aim at the maskless, saying he’s doubling federal fines for airline passengers who refuse to wear masks. He even promised to go after governors who opposed this federal overreach and stated he would “get them out of the way.”
His third step would require all teachers in the Head Start program to get vaccinated and said he wants all governors to require teachers in their states to get vaccinated as well. Biden said another step would be to increase production of at-home rapid tests and offer free testing at select locations.
Biden closed by explaining steps that include the protection of economic recovery by expanding COVID injury disaster loan programs in order for small businesses to obtain loans for their business to survive. Finally, he said he would increase surge response teams and add more monoclonal antibody treatment centers across the country.
Biden claimed his mandates will keep the economy strong and ensure safety in schools. He did not take questions upon his announcement.
[Biden is using a weak example of OSHA for his unconstitutional new federal safety regulations calling businesses with more than 100 workers to require vaccinations against the coronavirus and affirm mandates already in place at many companies and give cover to employers that had yet to decide requiring workers to be inoculated or face weekly testing and will mandate that the businesses offer employees paid time off to get vaccinated to some 80 million workers are affected imposed by the Department of Labor and its Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and already requiring this — United Airlines, Disney, Tyson Foods, and Fox News and I hope this changes not the 80 million but the ones who voted for him if anyone legally did.].

FBI Director Christopher Wray reflected on September 11 and how it changed the bureau forever. Speaking during a 9/11 remembrance ceremony in Virginia on Friday, Wray said the agency had become stronger, smarter and better able to confront any threats.
Wray added under the leadership of former director Robert Mueller, the FBI adopted the mentality of doing everything it could to prevent regrets. However, he admitted the agency was clearly shaken immediately following the attacks.
“For a time after those attacks when the shock and the sorrow were still so very raw, we lived in a haze of days that almost seemed almost like September 12 over and over again,” he stated. “We all kept asking ourselves what could we have done better, what should we have done better.”
Wray went on to say the recent terror attack in Kabul was a reminder foreign terrorists were still trying to launch large scale attacks on the U.S.
[MANY OF US DO NOT FEEL SAFER WITH YOU IN CHARGE OF THE FBI AFTER WE FOUND OUT YOU WERE FIGHTING AGAINST TRUMP FROM THE DAY HE TOOK OFFICE AND WERE BROUGHT TO REPLACE THE ONE WHO KNEW OF THE CORRUPTION TO COVER UP ALL CRIMES COMMITTED BY THE DEMOCRAT PARTY SO NO ONE FEELS SAFE FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND THE DEEP STATE IS DESPERATE AS I THINK THE PEOPLE ARE CATCHING ON TO YOU NOW AND THE DEEP STATE AND SWAMP PLUS ON THIS DAY OF THE 20TH YEAR 911 ANNIVERSARY AND YOU ARE INVOLVED IN THE VERY PEOPLE WHO WILL ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW THIS COUNTRY WHICH IS PRESENTLY UNDER ATTACK BY THE GLOBALIST SOCIALIST ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT AND YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS STILL BLIND OF THE REAL THREAT WHICH IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU WHO HAVE ALREADY LAUNCHED AN ATTACK ON THE U.S. SINCE 2009 AND TO TODAY.].

Critics have bashed the Biden administration for its latest mistake as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced several Afghan evacuees tested positive for a deadly disease inside the U.S. On Friday, Psaki confirmed an outbreak of measles cases among Afghan escapees has temporarily halted new flights from bringing more people into the U.S.
Critics have continued to slam the Biden administration for seemingly failing at every point in their botched Afghanistan withdrawal. Despite a measles vaccine being required for entry, Psaki said the cases still happened.
“Let me give you the information we have at this point, or I have I should say. Operation ‘Allies Welcome’ flights into the United States have been temporarily paused,” she announced. “…These individuals are being quarantined in accordance with public health guidelines and the CDC has begun full contact tracing. All arriving Afghans are currently required to be vaccinated for measles as a condition of entry into the United States.”
Meanwhile, Americans were still reportedly stranded in Afghanistan as the Biden administration called the Taliban “business-like and professional.”

Joe Biden has continued to pressure Americans to get the COVID-19 vaccine just one day after he told unvaccinated Americans the federal government’s patience was “running thin.” On Friday, Biden’s Twitter account released a message saying, “what more do you need to see?”
On Thursday, Biden made headlines with an address in which he announced a legally questionable vaccine mandate for private businesses. Employers with over 100 employees would be required to mandate their workers to receive the vaccine or be tested on a weekly basis.
“Over 200 million Americans have gotten at least one shot,” he stated. “We’ve been patient, but our patience is running thin and your refusal has cost all of us.”
In response, Republican governors across the country vowed to file lawsuits against Biden’s latest mandates.

Joe Biden has come under scrutiny after he walked back his coronavirus vaccination promise. On Thursday, Biden said businesses with more than 100 employees must require staff to be vaccinated.
The mandate has the potential to affect at least 100 million Americans. Critics quickly pointed out Biden’s sweeping mandate stands in stunning contrast to his promises from less than a year ago. This includes last December when he said this type of order is not necessary.
“Just like I don’t think masks have to be made mandatory nationwide,” Biden was quoted saying in addition to saying he wouldn’t demand COVID vaccinations be mandatory back in 2020.
However, now Biden has warned he’s lost patience with the 80 million Americans who have yet to get the vaccine.

The scientist behind the creation of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine said she didn’t believe boosters were needed at the moment. In a recent interview, Professor Sarah Gilbert acknowledged boosters could be needed in the elderly or those who were immunocompromised.
However, she argued she didn’t think boosters were needed for everyone by stating “immunity is lasting well in the majority of people.” She added the first dose was the most crucial for immunity.
This comes as Britain’s medical regulator gave the thumbs up on Thursday for Pfizer and AstraZeneca to be used in any future booster programs. Immunocompromised individuals have already been permitted to receive a booster shot once available.
The U.K. Vaccine Advisory Committee has been expected to make an announcement on the need for booster shots in the near future.
9/10/2021 GOP To Sue The Biden Admin. Over Nationwide Vaccine Mandates by OAN Newsroom

GOP states are reacting to Joe Biden’s new nationwide vaccine mandate. Following Biden’s statement on Thursday, GOP states have been discussing why they’re opposed.
Following Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) announcement to fight Biden’s order, GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel (Texas) declared the Republican National Committee would be suing the Biden administration.
In their release, McDaniel stated Joe Biden lied when he promised he wouldn’t impose vaccine mandates once he was elected. Additionally, the RNC said for small businesses and workers who don’t have the money to stand up for themselves, they would take matters into their own hands by suing the administration to protect Americans’ rights.
Prior to the announcement, GOP governors began expressing they would also be taking action. Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said the federal government’s actions are not welcome in his state, as working families could see serious consequences.
In addition, Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon warned his attorney general to prepare to take action in opposing the administration’s “unconstitutional overreach of executive power.” Further, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster stated the American dream is no more and that the Biden presidency has made it a nightmare. He added “we will fight them to the gates of Hell” in order to protect the liberties of South Carolinians.
In the meantime, the GOP is waiting for the order to go into effect so they can take their next step, which they say is to pursue legal action.

President Donald Trump has continued to strongly assert the 2020 election was corrupt, predicting it would eventually be decertified due to alleged voter fraud.
“We won the election by a lot and they rigged it and its a terrible thing and I do believe they are going to decertify this election,” stated Trump.
During an interview on Friday, he cited the coronavirus pandemic and mail-in voting as reasons the election was “rigged.” The 45th president also pointed to the audit in Arizona, suggesting similar efforts could be conducted in other states.
He also called out the mainstream media for not wanting to cover the issue of alleged election irregularities. “Our media is corrupt as can be, but the people know what’s going on and another poll came out. 70 some percent thought the election was, to put it very nicely, tampered with,” said the 45th president.

Top GOP state officials are decrying Joe Biden’s new vaccine requirements as they gear up to take on the federal government. On Sunday, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said the move by the Biden administration would cause issues.
This comes as Biden recently announced businesses with 100 employees or more would need to mandate vaccines or have employees tested weekly. However, some workers won’t have the chance to opt out of taking the vaccine. The rule is reportedly set to be issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) soon.
“When you look at the OSHA statutes that are being used, I think they’re really on shaky ground as to whether they can really force this or not. So, it’s subject to legal challenge,” said Christie.
Others, including Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R), have said Biden’s mandate is an overreach of the federal government’s authority. While Hutchinson supports vaccinations, he said federal mandates on private businesses are not the solution.
“I’ve never seen this type of federal action in terms of healthcare, in terms of vaccinations. It’s always been done at the state level and let’s think about this for a second, we have some very aggressive governors from blue states, but I’m not aware of any governor from any state that said we want to mandate businesses to require vaccinations,” stated Hutchinson. “None of them have done that and yet the federal government steps in.”
Other GOP governors have vowed to sue the government over new vaccination measures in which Biden said recently, “have at it.”
The dismissal to threats comes as Biden has openly criticized those who remain unvaccinated, blaming them for COVID cases continuing to spread. Biden’s plan also includes fines of up to $14,000 per violation to employers that refuse to comply. Lawyers said that now the public will have to wait and see what OSHA’s final version of the mandate will say, warning there’s a long road ahead.

and Pensions Committee hearing on April 5, 2017 at on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. (Photo by Zach Gibson/Getty Images)
Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb has suggested the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate is unnecessary and may even be counterproductive. During an interview on Sunday, Gottlieb said a lot of businesses that might have mandated vaccines are now just going to wait for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to finalize their rule on the matter.
He also pointed out the regulation would take time to enforce and would also have a slow rollout because it will be litigated. Gottlieb disagreed with the administration’s move and said he believes local communities should have the final say on vaccine mandates.
“I don’t think we have to reach down to the level of small businesses with 100 or more employees and put a federal requirement on it,” stated Gottlieb. “I don’t think the federal government should be dictating this. I also don’t think governors should be preventing small businesses from making these determinations on their own.”
This comes as a number of GOP governors have already indicated they plan to take legal action against the administration over the mandate.

9/14/2021 Blinken To Host Event Marking Anniversary Of Israel-Arab Normalization Deals by Matt Spetalnick

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will host a virtual meeting on Friday with his counterparts from Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco to mark the first anniversary of normalization agreements between the Arab countries and Israel, officials said.
The event will be the Biden administration’s highest-profile display of support for the so-called Abraham Accords, which were widely seen as a diplomatic success for former President Donald Trump.
President Joe Biden has backed the deals since taking office in January, and senior aides have said they were working to get additional Arab countries to normalize relations with Israel after decades of enmity. But the administration until now had been cool to the idea of commemorating the anniversary of the accords.
A State Department official and an Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed plans for the meeting, which was first reported by the Axios news website.
The leaders of Israel, the UAE and Bahrain signed the Abraham Accords at the White House in September of last year. Israel and Sudan announced in the following month that they would normalize relations, and Morocco established diplomatic ties with Israel in December, after Biden defeated Trump in the U.S. election.
Palestinian officials said they felt betrayed by their Arab brethren for reaching deals with Israel without first demanding progress toward the creation of a Palestinian state. Until last year, only two Arab states – Egypt and Jordan – had forged full ties with Israel.
The agreements have led to a slew of trade and investment deals.
“The event will commemorate the one-year anniversary of the signing of the Abraham Accords and discuss ways to further deepen ties and build a more prosperous region,” the State Department official said.
Avi Berkowitz, the former Middle East envoy who helped broker the accords together with Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, wrote on Twitter: “Thank you to the Biden administration and specifically @SecBlinken for supporting the Abraham Accords.”

Afghanistan during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. (Photo by SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images)
Secretary of State Antony Blinken made his first of two scheduled appearances before Congress this week over the Afghan withdrawal. Blinken was grilled on Monday by the House Foreign Affairs Committee over the policy and Intelligence failures leading to the deadly pullout from Afghanistan last month.
This has made Blinken the first Biden administration official to testify before Congress on the exit from the country. In his opening statement, ranking Foreign Affairs Committee Republican Rep. Michael McCaul (Texas) criticized the Biden administration over what he called its unconditional surrender to the Taliban after a 20-year war.
“This was an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions,” he asserted. “I never thought in my lifetime that I would see an unconditional surrender to the Taliban.”
McCaul added this withdrawal has only worked to make our enemies stronger and was a disgrace to the American people.
“Mr. Secretary, the American people don’t like to lose, especially not to the terrorists,” he stated. “That is exactly what has happened.”
During his opening testimony, Blinken attempted to defend the deadly pullout, which led to the death of 13 U.S. service members, by saying Intel assessments did not show the Afghan government would fall as quickly as it did.
“Even the most pessimistic assessments did not predict that government forces in Kabul would collapse while U.S. forces remained,” he explained. “As General Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said, nothing I or anyone else saw indicated a collapse of this army and this government in 11 days.”
Republicans also took aim at Blinken over the State Department’s role in evacuating refugees from the country.
Blinken sidestepped a question over just how many Afghans, who did not qualify for special immigrant visas, have been allowed to enter the U.S.
Rep. Scott Perry (R-Penn.): “How many Afghans, not meeting the qualifications of SIV have been brought to the United States?”
Blinken: “We’re in the process now going through.”
When asked by New Jersey Rep. Chris Smith (R) whether he could assure that Americans still stuck in Afghanistan haven’t been killed or mistreated by the Taliban, Blinken said he could not.
“I have not heard from those people that concern raised,” he stated. “I can’t say whether there are any American citizens, who are not in contact with or don’t know of, who may have been mistreated in some fashion in Afghanistan.”
The secretary of state is now scheduled to testify before the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday.
9/13/2021 Gov. DeSantis Promises To Fight Biden Vaccine Mandate by OAN Newsroom

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) vowed to fight against Joe Biden’s coronavirus vaccine mandates by promising to protect the jobs of those who have chosen not to be vaccinated. In a press conference on Monday, the Republican made clear he would especially defend the state’s first responders who worked throughout the pandemic to make sure the people of the state were safe and healthy.
On the topic of personal choice, the governor insisted the vaccine should not be forced onto people.
“This is not something that should be coerced onto people,” he expressed. “It should be something they have access to and can make that decision for themselves.”
Personal choice being a major theme of his talk, he explained how Biden’s mandate could very likely do more harm than good.
“I also think that what their doing is very harmful. If they honestly want more people to do this, they are causing a lot of people to dig in their heels,” he discussed. “They are causing a lot of people to question and it’s totally counterproductive.”
DeSantis also talked about how the policies of the Biden administration have been attempting to hurt the state throughout the pandemic.
“They shut down our cruise industry. We beat them in court on that and got that going, but that was the CDC just acting unilaterally,” he asserted. “Congress never legislated that.”
Overall, the Republican made it clear the mandate is a massive overstep of federal power, which has been something the government has been doing throughout the pandemic.
“It’s beyond just a mandate,” he explained. “What they’ve been doing throughout all of COVID, they go back and find some statute from decades ago. They find some obscure regulation and then they take that as a pretext to be able to do ridiculous, unforeseen expansions of government power.”
One of the governor’s solutions to combat mandates is to fine cities or counties which mandate the coronavirus vaccine $5,000 per infraction. DeSantis concluded these jobs matter, these livelihoods matter and people shouldn’t be coerced out of a job through government power.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Secretary of State Antony Blinken beat back criticism of the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan on Monday at a contentious congressional hearing where at least two Republicans called on him to resign.
In five hours of often testy exchanges with lawmakers, Blinken defended President Joe Biden’s decision to pull out and pushed back on accusations that the State Department should have done more to help Americans and at-risk Afghans to be evacuated, blaming the previous administration for lacking a plan.
He repeatedly noted that Republican former President Donald Trump had negotiated the withdrawal agreement with the Taliban, and said Biden’s administration could not renegotiate because of threats from the group to resume killing Americans.
“There’s no evidence that staying longer would have made the Afghan security forces or the Afghan government any more resilient or self-sustaining,” Blinken said.
“We inherited a deadline. We did not inherit a plan,” Blinken said, referring to the Trump administration’s agreement to remove all U.S. forces from Afghanistan by May 1.
Members of Congress – Biden’s Democrats as well as opposition Republicans – have pledged to investigate since the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan last month after a rapid advance.
Blinken appeared on Monday before the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee and was to testify on Tuesday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the first Biden administration official to testify publicly to lawmakers since the Islamist militant group’s takeover.
Fireworks had been expected, given the amount of finger-pointing over how the two-decade-long war ended. Many Republicans, particularly those closely allied to Trump, interrupted or even shouted over Blinken during the House hearing, a departure for a committee known for bipartisan cooperation.
Others offered harsh criticism.
“The American people don’t like to lose, especially not to the terrorists. But this is exactly what has happened,” said Representative Michael McCaul, the panel’s top Republican.
McCaul asked why assets like the Bagram Air Base were not maintained and why the administration had not reached counterterrorism agreements with neighboring countries.
“This is a national security threat as China moves in. For all I know they make take over Bagram,” McCaul said.
Blinken said the United States was actively working to identify threats.
MANY QUESTIONS
Lawmakers asked a long list of questions about the rapid collapse of the U.S.-backed Afghan government and scramble to evacuate 124,000 people.
Democrats expressed concern about Americans and at-risk Afghans who still wish to leave, but backed the withdrawal as necessary, if painful. “I would welcome hearing what exactly a smooth withdrawal from a messy chaotic 20-year war looks like,” said Representative Gregory Meeks, the committee’s chairman.
Blinken praised the evacuation as “a heroic effort.” He pledged that the United States will continue to support humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, but through non-governmental organizations and U.N. agencies, not the Taliban.
Afghanistan is at risk of running out of food as it faces a terrible drought in addition to political upheaval. “We need to do everything we can to make sure the people of Afghanistan don’t suffer any more than is already the case,” Blinken said.
He said he had not spoken personally to members of the Taliban leadership. “Any legitimacy that they may seek from the international community … is going to be contingent on their actions,” he said.
Blinken said he would name a senior State Department official to focus on support for Afghan women, girls and minorities.
Republicans grilled Blinken about what happened at Kabul’s airport during the evacuation ahead of the administration’s Aug. 31 deadline to leave. Thirteen U.S. troops and dozens of Afghans were killed in a suicide bombing amid the chaos.
Democrats said they wanted to address not just the seven months Biden was president before Kabul fell but all 20 years of U.S. involvement in the country – under presidents from both parties.

A Democrat congressman called out Joe Biden’s State Department while stating they have not given him an answer on how many Americans are still in Afghanistan.
While appearing on CNN on Monday, Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said he has seemingly been ignored by the Biden administration after he asked about the status of Americans in the crisis-stricken region. The Virginia Democrat said “there are tens of thousands” of people left in Afghanistan and Biden’s White House needs to reveal a plan to get them out.
“In addition to Americans or people with American residence, legal residence, who wanted to get out…we still need a comprehensive answer in terms of the status of each and every one of those individuals,” he stated.
When asked about decision’s made by Secretary of State Antony Blinken in regards to the situation, Connolly suggested the official relied on intelligence and “military conventional wisdom” that he believes was “flat out wrong.” He continued by suggesting a thorough examination is needed to determine exactly what went wrong, specially in regards to the Intelligence Community with those who got it really wrong being held accountable.
This comes as the Biden administration continues to try and explain the decisions that led to its botched pull out from Afghanistan, where unknown numbers of Americans remain.

U.S. bound flights for Afghan evacuees have been paused due to a measles outbreak. The Biden administration made the announcement on Monday, which could stall evacuee relocation for up to a week.
As many as 12,000 refugees will remain in Air Force bases in Germany and Qatar, while the CDC attempts to stop the spread as soon as possible. Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby explained the discovery of stateside cases.
“There have been five diagnosed cases of measles among new arrivals so far and we are closely monitoring just in case more emerged,” he stated. “We already announced one case that was confirmed last week at Fort McCoy and three cases were confirmed on Thursday night among new arrivals who flew into Dulles Airport here in the D.C. area.”
Infected evacuees already in America will be quarantined while the CDC will be performing contact tracing to try to identify any future cases. Measles vaccines are now mandatory for all refugees before coming to the U.S.
“So all arriving Afghans are currently required to be vaccinated for measles as a condition of their humanitarian parole and critical immunizations, including MMR, are being administered for Afghans at safe havens on military bases in the United States,” Kirby continued. “We will soon be vaccinating Afghans for MMR while they are still overseas.”
Evacuee relocation could be stalled for more than a week.
9/14/2021 GOP Senators Grill Secy. Of State Blinken Over Biden’s Afghan Fiasco by OAN Newsroom

Secretary of State Antony Blinken was grilled over the Afghanistan crisis by senators on both sides of the aisle. On Tuesday, Blinken testified for the second time this week in front of members of Congress in a hearing conducted by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R) lambasted Blinken for the disastrous pullout by noting Intelligence reports warned of an imminent collapse.
“Let me suffice it to say that there are numerous pieces that would be categorized as ‘it’s going to hit the fan,'” he stated. “…We had every reason to believe and to plan for the rapid collapse of the Afghan military and Afghan government.”
Rubio went on to suggest the Afghan military had lost thousands of troops to Taliban attacks and were using U.S. and NATO support as a crutch. He stressed taking away massive amounts of support could only lead to disaster.
However, Blinken claimed the reports he was privy to didn’t suggest Afghanistan would crumble in less than a week, which dismissed the situation as a bad investment.
“We collectively over 20 years invested extraordinary amounts in those security forces and in that government,” he expressed. “Hundreds of billions of dollars of equipment, training, advice, support and based on that as well as based on what we were looking at real time, again, we did not see this collapse in a matter of 11 days.”
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R) stressed he couldn’t imagine the “colossal incompetence” leading to the worst military disaster in U.S. history. Paul highlighted more than $80 billion worth of military equipment was left in the country and the 13 U.S. service members who were killed during the pullout.
The Kentucky Republican went on to warn the Biden administration wanted to send $64 million worth of humanitarian aid to the Taliban run government Afghanistan.
“To add insult to injury, this week you now released $64 million in aid to Afghanistan. Don’t we have some prohibition against giving aid and comfort to the enemy?” he questioned. “…Well the Taliban has a history of taking this.”
Paul asked America’s top diplomat if he knew a recent strike was an ISIS-K terrorist or a civilian aid work.
Paul: “So you don’t know or won’t tell us?”
Blinken: “I can’t because we’re reviewing it”
Paul: “You’d think you’d kind of know before you off somebody with a predator drone whether he’s an aid worker or an ISIS-K.”
The GOP senators stressed throughout the hearing their concern with the lack of accountability from the Biden administration. They warned the event caused a massive blow to the image of America as a top leader on the world stage.
Several senators expressed a desire to replace several officials with fresh personnel.
Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.): “So I want to ask you, have you submitted your resignation regarding this issue?”
Blinken: “I have not.”
Hagerty: “The lack of accountability here, the lack of accountability in this administration is shocking to me.”
Blinken assured the upper chamber the State Department was conducting a thorough review on what went wrong in Afghanistan. He noted all of the broad strategic decisions were coming from Joe Biden himself and this his thinking was crystal clear.
The secretary of state went on to say there would be no cooperation with the Taliban if they failed to abide by international norms.
9/14/2021 President Trump: Many Say Obama Is Running Biden Admin. by OAN Newsroom

President Trump said he suspected former President Barack Obama was covertly running the Biden administration. Trump said during an interview on Tuesday, he believed Obama and his surrogates could be exerting control over the White House.
The 45th president said several people have confirmed this theory, but he did not disclose his sources. In the past, Trump has repeatedly questioned Biden’s apparent mental decline and fitness for office.
His remarks come as Senate Republicans raised the question of why Biden’s public announcements appeared to be directed by someone else.
Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho): “It’s been widely reported that somebody has the ability to push the button and cut off his sound and stop him from speaking. Who is that person?”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken: “There is no such person. Again, the president speaks for himself.”
President Trump also stressed Biden was even worse than Obama in almost every aspect of his handling of domestic and foreign affairs.
[WAKE UP AMERICA IT IS NOT JUST OBAMA IT IS THE GLOBALIST SOCIALIST ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT THAT WAS ALSO RUNNING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION FOR 8 YEARS WHERE ALL OUR CORRUPTION STARTED IN 2009 AND AT 2016 THEY ATTACKED TRUMP FOR 4 YEARS BECAUSE HE INTERFERED WITH THE TAKEOVER AND NOW AFTER STEALING AN ELECTION CONTINUING IT IN BIDEN’S PUPPET JOE ADMINISTRATION AS SEEN BELOW].

The White House killed video feed of Joe Biden as he appeared to go off script. Biden’s speech was abruptly cut off on Monday in Idaho amid his rocky speech about so-called climate change.
The White house has developed a reputation for cutting off video feed during Biden’s briefings without public explanation. This time, the feed was cut as Biden tried to answer an unapproved question.
“Can I ask you a question?” Biden stated. “One of things that I have been working on with some others is…” *screen goes blank*
This comes days after White House staffers reportedly admitted to switching off or muting Joe Biden’s public appearances out of anxiety over what he would say.

9/15/2021 Ivermectin use for COVID-19 grows - Ivermectin use for COVID-19 grows There is no evidence drug makes a difference by Jessie Christopher Smith, The Oklahoman USA TODAY NETWORK
Karla Houchin and her husband, Shannon, live at their cattle ranch in Lone Grove, about 8 miles west of Ardmore in southern Oklahoma. She and her husband work in the oil business, although Houchin primarily works from home as call support.
For Christmas, Houchin and her husband gathered with their immediate families, but they realized something was wrong the next morning. Fevers came, body aches followed, and tests that day confirmed they had contracted COVID-19. That’s when her husband heard of a peculiar remedy.
'We had friends calling us already that have cattle as well, and they said, ‘Hey, do you have any injectable ivermectin?’' Houchin said. 'My husband said, ‘No, I’ve got the pour-on kind,’ because we always kept the pour-on around. And they said, ‘Well, you need to put some on your wrist or on a vein somewhere and let it get in your bloodstream, and it’ll help you.’ We said, ‘What?’ They said, ‘No, it’ll help you; we’re being serious!’'
The pain was so great for Houchin’s husband, he decided to give it a try and 'rubbed it on his wrist on Sunday (Dec.27), and by Monday evening, he was fine,' Houchin said. And when her own condition worsened Tuesday morning, Houchin said she did the same as her husband, 'and within a day or two, I was good, too.'.
There is no evidence the ivermectin made the difference for the Houchins, and medical professionals have steadfastly warned against using it to treat COVID-19.
Yet despite the warnings, the Houchins are among a growing number of people in the state and nationwide to turn to the unproven treatment even as they have avoided FDA approved vaccines.
The anti-parasitic drug is commonly used in livestock, like the Houchins’ longhorn cattle. Ivermectin also has been approved for human use, but it is prescribed to treat head lice or skin conditions, not COVID-19.
Not wanting to spread the virus to others, the couple continued to quarantine as instructed, but days before the end of the 14-day period, the Houchins were not exhibiting any flu-like symptoms. The COVID-19 may have been mild and simply run its course, but the Houchins are convinced ivermectin played a role.
'We lost our taste and smell for about four or five days, but as far as aching, fever, throwing up, and trouble breathing, we didn’t have any symptoms like that,' Houchin said.
Potential adverse effects from use of ivermectin intended for livestock, like dizziness or nausea, did not show up in Houchin or her husband, she said.
Others who have used ivermectin to treat COVID-19 symptoms haven’t been as fortunate.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, poison control centers throughout the United States have recently seen a steep increase in emergency calls of human exposure to veterinary ivermectin.
Some medical and health professionals are baffled as to why, despite their strong advisories to avoid it, the anti-parasitic drug has become a popular over-the-counter treatment for COVID-19.
Dr. Douglas Drevets, chief of infectious diseases at OU Health, said he splits the ivermectin users into two different groups: those who are vaccinated against COVID-19 but want to try additional alternative treatment, and those who have declined to take the vaccine but are willing to take ivermectin.
'In the latter group, … I think that either they think that they have looked at the evidence or they have talked to others in their Facebook group, their friends circle, national figures who they trust, who have thrown doubts on the efficacy or safety of the vaccine but are advocating ivermectin,' Drevets said.
'I think that they fundamentally don’t have either the training, or the people they trust don’t have the training, to adequately evaluate the data that are freely available that show how effective and how incredibly safe the vaccines, and particularly the mRNA vaccines, are.'
The Houchins, by their own admission, fit into this latter group.
'Me and my husband have not personally taken the vaccine,' Houchin said. 'I don’t know enough about it. I don’t know enough about the side effects. But we truly believe that the ivermectin kept us from having to go to the hospital.'
Drevets said he also believes vaccinated people who are also experimenting with ivermectin are wanting to do everything they can to fight the virus and simply want to exhaust every option.
'I have more understanding of that, particularly if they’re scared or if they’ve watched a loved one struggle with COVID,' Drevets said. 'I could understand wanting to do something, in trying to do everything that’s available. It’s unfortunate that, I think, they go that way, but again I can understand that position pretty easily, and have a lot of sympathy with it.'
In 2015, the Nobel Peace Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to the scientists who discovered ivermectin and successfully used it to treat roundworm parasites in humans.
Last year saw an increase of ivermectin use against COVID-19 in Peru, Guatemala and other Latin American countries, to the point that health care workers openly distributed about 350,000 doses of the drug to residents in northern Bolivia.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has repeatedly issued warnings that ivermectin has not been approved or proven for COVID-19 treatment. But that hasn’t stopped the huge increase in sales of the drug at livestock feed and tack stores throughout Oklahoma and elsewhere.
Dr. Wändi Bruine de Bruin, provost professor of public policy, psychology and behavioral science at the University of Southern California Sol Price School of Public Policy, said she has not researched why people use ivermectin against coronavirus.
'What is important to keep in mind, though, is that everyone is likely doing what they think is best for their health and that of their loved ones,' said Bruine de Bruin. 'People’s continued use of ivermectin suggests that there is a serious lack of trust in public health officials, in some communities.'

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden denied on Tuesday a media report that his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, last week turned down an offer from Biden for a face-to-face meeting.
The Financial Times cited multiple people briefed on a 90-minute call between the two leaders last week as saying Xi did not take Biden up on the offer and instead insisted that Washington adopt a less strident tone toward Beijing.
“It’s not true,” Biden said when asked by reporters if he was disappointed that Xi did not want to meet with him.
Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said in a statement earlier on Tuesday that the report was “not an accurate portrayal of the call. Period.”
A source who was among those briefed on the call confirmed the report was accurate.
“Xi apparently intimated that the tone and atmosphere of the relationship needed to be improved first,” the source told Reuters.
China’s embassy in Washington did not immediately respond when asked to comment.
The Financial Times quoted one of its sources as saying Biden had floated the summit as one of several possibilities for follow-on engagement with Xi, and he had not expected an immediate response.
It cited one U.S. official as saying that while Xi did not engage with the idea of a summit, the White House believed that was partly due to concerns about COVID-19.
The G20 summit in Italy in October has been talked about as a possible venue for a face-to-face meeting, but Xi has not left China since the outbreak of the pandemic early last year.
In his statement, Sullivan added: “As we’ve said, the Presidents discussed the importance of being able to have private discussions between the two leaders, and we’re going to respect that.”
The call between Biden and Xi was their first in seven months and they discussed the need to ensure that competition between the world’s two largest economies does not veer into conflict.
A U.S. official briefing before the conversation called it a test of whether direct top-level engagement could end what had become a stalemate in ties, which are at the worst level in decades.
The White House said afterward it was intended to keep channels of communication open, but it has announced no plans for follow-on engagements.
Chinese state media said Xi had told Biden that U.S. policy on China imposed “serious difficulties” on relations, but added that both sides agreed to maintain frequent contact and ask working-level teams to step up communications.

9/16/2021 Biden ‘Confident’ Congress Will Deliver Spending, Infrastructure Bills by OAN Newsroom

Speaking from the White House on Thursday, Joe Biden said he’s confident Congress will deliver both an infrastructure and supplementary spending bill to his desk. His speech comes as Democrats are in the process of marking up a $3.5 trillion spending bill funding community college and other social programs. Additionally, they are debating a $1 trillion infrastructure bill.
However, the Democrat acknowledged there’s still a long way to go.
“Here’s the simple truth, and for a long time this economy has worked great for those at the very top. Ordinary, hardworking Americans, the people who built this country, have been basically cut out of the deal,” said Biden. “And I’ve said this from the time I announced I was going to run, I believe this is a moment of potentially great change. This is our moment to deal working people back into the economy.”
Biden went on to tout his nationwide vaccine mandate saying it’s projected to help businesses stay open and get Americans back to work. Although, he did take aim at Republican leaders. He said the governors of Florida and Texas are doing everything they can to undermine his requirements.
This comes as both Govs. Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott have offered antibody treatments, which are reportedly highly effective, to citizens hesitant on getting the vaccine. The Florida governor said 90,000 treatments have been administered at 25 different sites in the state, saying they’ve kept thousands of people out of the hospital.
In the meantime, as the $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill continues to lack Republican support, Democrats must convince their own members to back the bill in order to get the majority vote.

Special counsel John Durham has filed new charges in his ongoing probe into the Russia investigation. According to the Washington Post on Thursday, a grand jury working with Durham handed up an indictment against attorney Michael Sussmann.
Sussmann, who is employed by a firm with close ties to the Democrat Party, is accused of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 2016. He reportedly cited concerns about a possible tie between a Russia-based bank and a computer server at one of President Trump’s companies.
According to the indictment against him, “Sussmann lied about the capacity in which he was providing the allegations to the FBI. Specifically, Sussmann stated falsely that he was not doing his work on the aforementioned allegations for any client,” misleading the FBI’s general counsel.
However, attorneys for Sussmann have denied any wrongdoing. Additionally, they claimed “any prosecution here would be baseless, unprecedented and unwarranted deviation from the apolitical and principled way in which the Department of Justice is supposed to do its work.”
Meanwhile, Durham is also reportedly pursuing a theory that Sussmann was secretly representing Hillary Clinton’s campaign as well. The indictment mentions that Sussmann was working with the Clinton presidential campaign on cybersecurity matters at the time.

- People Tied to the DNC or Clinton Campaign That Should Be Investigated And Are Presently Working in the Biden Administration from the original Obama Administration which I showed you the crooks in 2018
- Perkins Coie, a law firm, was paid by the Clinton campaign to serve as a go-between to hide the fact that Hillary’s campaign was paying Fusion GPS to push the Trump-Russia smear, and it is an international law firm headquartered in Seattle, Washington, and founded in 1912. It is the oldest and largest law firm headquartered in the Pacific Northwest and has offices across the United States and in Beijing, Shanghai and Taipei.
-
Marc Elias, is a lawyer at Perkins Coie, who hired Fusion GPS for the Clinton campaign.
-
Michael Sussmann, is another lawyer at Perkins Coie, who received a story about a Russian bank, Alphabank, communicating with a server in Trump Tower from Fusion GPS. Sussmann went directly to the FBI with that story—to James Baker, who was general counsel of the FBI under Comey—prompting reports midway through the 2016 campaign that hinted Trump had nefarious ties with Russia.
Although it was widely debunked, the server angle again showed up in media stories, including in New York Times and Slate articles, right before the election in September of 2016. Hillary Clinton even tweeted that Slate article when it posted.
-
Robbie Mook, was a top Hillary Clinton campaign official. As Fusion GPS was working on the dossier, Perkins Coie was getting the information from Steele and briefing Mook. It is important to note that Mook was the first Hillary official to publicly say that Russia wanted to help Trump win. Mook said this right before the Democratic National Convention.
This is more evidence that Clinton’s campaign is the entity that started the Russia investigation, by alleging that Trump had nefarious ties with Russia to distract from the DNC and Clinton campaign’s mistreatment of Bernie Sanders, as was revealed by the DNC email theft that was leaked by WikiLeaks right before the Democrats’ 2016 national convention, an American former political campaign strategist and campaign manager. He was the campaign manager for Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful 2016 presidential campaign. He is currently a CNN political commentator. Mook worked on state campaigns, leading up to Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign.
-
Jake Sullivan, is another top advisor in Clinton’s campaign, who played a role in forming the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
-

9/17/2021 Grenell: New Charges In Durham Probe An Important Development by OAN Newsroom

Former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Richard Grenell called the new charges in the John Durham probe an important development. In an interview on Wednesday, Grenell called the probe a “swamp situation,” saying while the charges are an important development, they aren’t the key to the whole investigation.
“I hope that we have a lot of time to focus on these issues going forward,” stated Grenell in an interview. “The media that pushed this, I don’t believe that the FBI officials were duped by an outside lawyer working with Hillary Clinton who lied about his client.”
On Wednesday, Durham handed up charges against attorney Michael Sussmann, accusing him of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 2016. Grenell said there’s a treasure trove of people lying under oath in the transcripts released while he was DNI. He added how scary it is to think politics permeated the Department of Justice and FBI just because everybody in Washington wanted Clinton to win the 2016 presidential election.
“Everybody in Washington…lobbyists, newsrooms, a whole bunch of people…wanted Hillary to win. So what did they do? They allowed this opposition research to become part of the DOJ and FBI,” argued Grenell. “That is what we call political prosecution, and when it happens in third world countries we call it out.”
Grenell called out Sussmann for presenting so-called evidence to the FBI that he said was from a source unrelated to Clinton, even though the evidence being presented was coming from a source that worked for her.
“Sussmann claimed it was a tip from a cybersecurity expert who had nothing to do with Clinton, even though he worked for her. Total coincidence,” he said.
The latest indictment accuses Sussmann of hiding his involvement with the Clinton presidential campaign during a conversation in 2016 held with the FBI’s general counsel. Due to Sussmann’s lack of transparency, he is accused of “depriving the FBI of information that might have permitted it to more fully assess and uncover the origins of the relevant data” according to the indictment filed by special counsel Durham.
However, Sussmann’s attorneys have claimed their client was indicted because of “politics, not facts.”

9/17/2021 WhatsApp Instructions, Mexican Struggles: How Haitians Ended Up In Texas Camp by Alexandra Ulmer

CIUDAD ACUÑA, Mexico (Reuters) – Haitians camped out under a Texas bridge followed instructions circulated on WhatsApp to get there, according to a dozen migrants who said the tips delivered to their phones helped them evade checks by Mexican authorities.
Over 10,000 migrants, most of them Haitians, were as of Friday sleeping on the ground in a squalid camp under the Del Rio International Bridge connecting Ciudad Acuña, Mexico to Del Rio, Texas, hoping to apply for U.S. asylum.
The camp’s quick growth – at least 2,000 people arrived on Thursday alone – has sparked questions about why groups were converging on Del Rio specifically.
In interviews, Haitians spoke of starting their journeys where they had been living under difficult conditions for some time in South America. They showed Reuters several guides they had been following on their phones – some just lists of Mexican towns and others detailed instructions on what buses to take – that all culminated by the Rio Grande in Del Rio, Texas.
James Pierre, 28, shared a WhatsApp list of 15 stops through Mexico – starting in Huixtla, Chiapas, and ending in Ciudad Acuña – that he said was circulating among Haitian migrants.
“Those ahead sent directions by phone. I helped people coming behind me,” Pierre said. Still, he said he got lost for days in the mountains and survived on little but water and fruit.
One image shared by a migrant who arrived on Friday included detailed instructions on bus routes through Mexico, including which terminals to get off and where to buy tickets. Several other Haitians also reported receiving the same instructions.
The instructions said: “These are the routes for which you will not be asked for any paperwork when buying travel tickets.”
Groups of Haitians and other migrants who were frustrated with a long wait for travel documents tried to leave https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/hundreds-migrants-depart-southern-mexico-caravan-protest-slow-asylum-process-2021-08-28 southern Mexico in caravans https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/new-migrant-caravan-sets-off-us-southern-mexico-2021-09-04 weeks ago.
Those groups were broken up https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/mexican-officials-cut-off-new-migrant-caravan-breaking-up-main-group-2021-09-05 by security forces that in some cases deployed excessive violence. One video widely circulated on social media showed Mexican immigration agents https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/mexico-condemns-violent-actions-by-migration-agents-caught-video-2021-08-30 knocking to the ground and repeatedly stamping on a migrant. The two agents have since been suspended.
U.S. border officials have been struggling with a growing number of migrant crossings. They have reached 20-year-highs along the U.S.-Mexico border, topping 195,000 encounters in August.
LEAVING SOUTH AMERICA
Many of the Haitians interviewed by Reuters said they used to live in South America, often Brazil or Chile, but decided to move on because they could not attain legal status there or struggled to secure decent jobs. Some Haitians also said they were encouraged by videos they saw on social media about obtaining asylum in the United States.
Their Caribbean homeland long has been plagued by economic and political instability and repeated natural disasters. Most recently, Haiti’s president was assassinated in July and in August the country was battered by both a 7.2 magnitude earthquake and a powerful storm.
Haitian Alexandro Petitfrere, 30, said that when he left a difficult life as a construction worker in Brazil last July, he hoped Mexico might prove a better home.
But Petitfrere said police officers robbed $100 from him as he was crossing into Tapachula, in the south of the country, in August. Reuters was not able to confirm his allegation.
He said he then had to sleep in queues to get a permit to stay in the area, could not find work, struggled to afford accommodation and said there was rampant discrimination against Haitians.
“If Mexico had given me an opportunity, I would have stayed. But because they mistreated us, I decided to come here,” Petitfrere said.

The Pentagon admitted it made a “tragic mistake” after 10 civilians were killed in a U.S. airstrike in Kabul. Top officials acknowledged the error on Friday, saying the strike killed three adults and seven children and not ISIS-K terrorists as originally reported.
The target believed to be linked to the terrorist group turned out to be an innocent aid worker. Reports said military intelligence had tracked the target and his car for around eight hours after reportedly discovering it at a compound associated with ISIS-K. In addition, they said they also saw what they believed was explosives being loaded into the car, which turned out to be containers of water.
U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie said the Aug. 29 strike was a mistake, adding they believed the victims posed an imminent threat to U.S. forces and evacuees at the Kabul airport. However, when he addressed the nation he said “we now assess that it is unlikely that the vehicle and those who died were associated with ISIS-K or a direct threat to U.S. forces.”
Targeting two ISIS-K operatives following last months deadly suicide bombing, the Pentagon maintained the strike was a success. The targeted vehicle was being driven by Zemari Ahmadi and all victims were from the same extended family.
McKenzie took full responsibility for the tragic outcome, offering his profound condolences to the victim’s families.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin also shared an apology for the strike, saying he’s conducted a “thorough review of the investigation.” He added the review would also consider the degree to which strike authorities, procedures and processes need to be altered in the future.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz slams Joe Biden after 10,000 illegal immigrants gather at the border. Cruz visited border city, Del Rio, Texas slamming Biden for his failed border policies.
Late on Thursday, Cruz traveled to the Del Rio International Bridge reporting there were over 10,000 illegal immigrants huddled underneath. In a scathing video posted to Twitter, Cruz blasted Biden saying “this man-made disaster was caused by Joe Biden.”
Cruz said the already horrible border crisis reached new levels when the Biden administration announced they would discontinue certain deportations.
“Just over a week ago, there were fewer than a thousand people here under the bridge…averaging between 700 and a thousand. And on Sept. 8, the Biden administration made a decision to cancel deportation flights back to Haiti,” said Cruz.
According to the senator, this triggered a wave of new illegal immigrants seeking to enter the U.S. Cruz said Biden could easily solve the problem, but instead he’s playing politics. Cruz added despite what Biden and other Democrats would have Americans believe, open borders are inhumane and harmful to everyone involved.
9/18/2021 Poland’s Kaczynski Says Primacy Of EU Law Undermines Sovereignty

elections at a polling station in Warsaw, Poland, October 13, 2019. REUTERS/Kacper Pempel/File Photo
WARSAW (Reuters) – The European Union’s insistence on the primacy of EU law over national legislation undermines Poland’s sovereignty, ruling party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski said in a letter quoted by state news agency PAP.
The European Commission, the guardian of EU treaties, asked Warsaw in June to withdraw a motion filed with Poland’s constitutional court seeking a ruling on whether the country’s constitution or EU treaties were more important.
“This is an unbelievable demand that undermines the foundations of our sovereignty, our constitutional order, the right of the Republic of Poland to success,” Kaczynski said in a letter read out at a conference for readers of the right-wing newspaper Gazeta Polska, PAP reported.
Kaczynski, the leader of the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party and a deputy prime minister, said the Commission’s request was part of the “opposition’s fight to overthrow the democratically elected government” and a “tool to impose a new, revolutionary order in Europe”
The primacy of EU laws over national ones is a key tenet of European integration.
Opposition politicians say Poland’s challenge to the primacy of EU law not only jeopardises the country’s future in the EU, but the stability of the bloc itself.
Poland’s constitutional court proceedings on the matter, originally set for July, were adjourned until September 22.
EU Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni said earlier in September that Poland’s legal challenge was the reason 57 billion euros in EU recovery funds to Warsaw had been held up.
Most of the bloc’s 27 countries have already won European Commission approval for their national spending plans, unlocking access to tens of billions of euros from the bloc in COVID-19 recovery funds.

9/18/2021 U.S. Says Kabul Drone Strike Killed 10 Civilians, Including Children, In ‘Tragic Mistake’ by Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A drone strike in Kabul last month killed as many as 10 civilians, including seven children, the U.S. military said on Friday, apologizing for what it called a “tragic mistake.”
The Pentagon had said the Aug. 29 strike targeted an Islamic State suicide bomber who posed an imminent threat to U.S.-led troops at the airport as they completed the last stages of their withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Even as reports of civilian casualties emerged, the top U.S. general had described the attack as “righteous.”
The head of U.S. Central Command, Marine Corps General Frank McKenzie, said that at the time he had been confident it averted an imminent threat to the forces at the airport.
“Our investigation now concludes that the strike was a tragic mistake,” McKenzie told reporters.
He said he now believed it unlikely that those killed were members of the local Islamic State affiliate, ISIS-Khorasan, or posed a threat to U.S. troops. The Pentagon was considering reparations, McKenzie said.
The killing of civilians, in a strike carried out by a drone based outside Afghanistan, has raised questions about the future of U.S. counter-terrorism strikes in the country, where intelligence gathering has been all but choked off since last month’s withdrawal.
And the confirmation of civilian deaths provides further fuel to critics of the chaotic U.S. withdrawal and evacuation of Afghan allies, which has generated the biggest crisis yet for the Biden administration.
In a statement, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the drone strike had killed a Mr. Ahmadi who worked for a non-profit called Nutrition and Education International.
“We now know that there was no connection between Mr. Ahmadi and ISIS-Khorasan, that his activities on that day were completely harmless and not at all related to the imminent threat we believed we faced,” Austin said in the statement.
“We apologize, and we will endeavor to learn from this horrible mistake.”
While it is rare for senior Pentagon officials, including the defense secretary, to apologize personally for civilians killed in military strikes, the U.S. military does publish reports on civilians killed in operations around the world.
Reports had emerged almost immediately that the drone strike in a neighborhood west of Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport had killed civilians including children. Video from the scene showed the wreckage of a car strewn around the courtyard of a building. A spokesman for Afghanistan’s new Taliban rulers, Zabihullah Mujahid, said at the time that the attack killed seven people, and that the Taliban was investigating.
The strike came three days after an Islamic State suicide bomber killed 13 U.S. troops and scores of Afghan civilians who had crowded outside the airport gates, desperate to secure seats on evacuation flights, after U.S.-trained Afghan forces melted away and the Taliban swept to power in the capital.
Following the suicide bombing at the airport, the U.S. military launched a drone strike in eastern Afghanistan that it said killed two Islamic State militants. That strike is not under review.
The second, mistaken strike came as the U.S. military was on heightened alert, with officials warning they expected more attacks on the airport, including from rockets and vehicle-borne explosive devices, as the Pentagon wrapped up its mission.
General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, appeared to blame the fog of war, even as he acknowledged in a statement that the civilian deaths were “heart wrenching.”
“In a dynamic high threat environment, the commanders on the ground had the appropriate authority and had reasonable certainty that the target was valid,” Milley said.
The authority to carry out strikes in Afghanistan — against al Qaeda or Islamic State — will not rest any more with U.S. commanders in the region, a U.S. defense official told Reuters, adding Austin himself will have to authorize any future strikes.
Still, the intelligence failure exposed in America’s last military strike of its war in Afghanistan raises hard questions about the risks going forward. These include whether the United States can keep track of al Qaeda and Islamic State threats, and act quickly on any information it gets.
McKenzie played down the impact the latest civilian casualties would have on future actions in Afghanistan.
“I don’t think you should draw any conclusions about our ability to strike in Afghanistan against ISIS-K targets in the future based on this particular strike,” he said.>br>

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) pledges to “work like hell” to ensure his constituents have access to monoclonal antibodies to fight COVID-19. The statement on Thursday was in response to the Biden administration clamping down on shipments of the antibodies to the Sunshine State.
Health and Human Services seized control of the supply lines this week and limited Florida’s deliveries by half.
DeSantis claimed such sudden disruption would cause patients to suffer.
The Biden administration has experienced a lot of pushback from Republican governors, including DeSantis. “We’re facing a massive, massive cut in monoclonal antibody treatments abruptly,” said the governor. He added how Biden said there would be a 50 percent increase, however now they’re seeing more than a 50 percent cut in Florida.
Meanwhile, the Republican governor is looking to go around the federal government and buy directly from the source.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said capitalism isn’t serving the U.S. as it should. On Friday at the Chatham House in London, the Democrat explained how the U.S. economy hasn’t benefited from capitalism. She insisted the U.S. can’t have a system that benefits some by depending on the exploitation of workers and the environment.
“In America, capitalism is our system, it is our economic system, but it has not served our economy as well as it should,” said Pelosi. “And so, what we want to do is not walk away from it, but improve it and make sure it serves us.”
Pelosi further explained the U.S. must improve the system with a strong middle-class rather than departing from it.
This comes on the heels of Joe Biden’s push for a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill. Meanwhile, Biden has continued to push the bill, planning to fund the legislation through tax increases on corporations and the wealthy.
[So this is scary: What makes a strong middle class? The middle class includes: professionals, managers, and senior civil servants. The chief defining characteristic of membership in the middle-class is control of significant human capital while still being under the dominion of the elite upper class, who control much of the financial and legal capital in the world.]

Georgia’s secretary of state is pushing for an amendment to the state’s constitution, granting only U.S. citizens the right to vote. On Thursday, Brad Raffensperger signed his name on a petition launched by grassroots organization “Americans for Citizen Voting.”
In 2020, the organization led the charge in helping pass amendments in Florida, Alabama and Colorado to ensure illegal immigrants couldn’t vote in their elections.
“We were successful with this initiative in 2020 in Florida, Alabama and Colorado. The people there amended their constitutions to say that only United States citizens should vote and so we want that opportunity here in Georgia,” said Americans for Citizen Voting President Christopher Arps.
Meanwhile, opponents of the change have argued non-citizens don’t have the right to vote in Georgia already. However, Raffensperger has argued the language needs to be more clear and direct.
For the amendment to be passed a two-thirds majority in both the State House and Senate would need to vote in its favor.

Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley (R) has called for a federal investigation into the botched Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe into disgraced former USA Gymnastics coach Larry Nassar. In a statement on Friday, Grassley implored Attorney General Merrick Garland to assign a federal prosecutor or a special council on the case.
He said the public needs to know what the FBI knew and when they knew it while Nassar sexually abused hundreds of female gymnasts. “These brave gymnasts and all Nassar survivors deserve accountability, especially from the Justice Department,” said Grassley as he called upon Garland.
“Attorney General Garland should assign a federal prosecutor or special counsel to uncover what the FBI knew and when, as well as to seek prosecutions of those involved in the cover-up.”
His comments come two days after a Senate judiciary panel heard testimony from multiple U.S. Gymnastics stars over the FBI’s handling of its probe into Nassar’s misconduct. During the hearing, Aly Raisman called for a “complete and full independent investigation” of the FBI’s interactions with USA Gymnastics.
Meanwhile, Nassar is currently serving 100 years in prison relating to sexual abuse.

Hundreds of law enforcement and protesters gathered for the “Justice for J6” rally at the U.S. Capitol. Several hundred demonstrators gathered outside of the nation’s Capital to support those jailed for taking part in the Jan. 6 protest.
Speaking to the crowd Saturday, organizer of the event Matt Braynard said it was about the many protesters who have not been charged with violence, haven’t been accused of assaulting a police officer or destroying property and the “disparate treatment they’ve received.” He added “this is all about equal treatment under the law.”
More than 600 people have been arrested in the months following the protest and more than 50 have pleaded guilty to a variety of federal charges. Supporters showed frustration towards the treatment of the “political prisoners,” saying it’s inhumane and political prosecution.
Supporters were heavily outnumbered by law enforcement as Capitol Police brought hundreds of officers into Washington, D.C. in order to prevent any possible violence. However, demonstrators emphasized keeping the peace and condemned the violence seen on Jan. 6.
“The overall message is that we condemn violence. That’s not America. We need to make sure that we do a peaceful voice to be heard. Not a protest that is in violence. We condemn that. So, the resounding message that we’re trying to bring is that we can go out, have our voices be heard, and not have to do it violently,” said Jeff Zink, candidate for Congress in Arizona.
While the crowd was less than expected, the Look Ahead America organization previously estimated about 700 people would attend.

Hospitals across the U.S. are facing shortages over vaccine mandates. While some public health experts have said new vaccine mandates may not show its impact for several months, hospitals are already facing staffing shortage as workers are refusing to be vaccinated.
In New York, hospital and nursing home employees are required to get vaccinated in the coming weeks or face the possibility of losing their jobs. President and CEO of Thompson Health, Michael Stapleton, said the vaccine mandate could lead to even more of an increase in job openings as there are workers who still haven’t received the COVID-19 vaccine.
“We’re going to lose people over this mandate. That breaks my heart,” said Stapleton. “These are great people who have cared for our community over and over again. They’ve dedicated their careers to taking care of people and now they’re not going to potentially be able to. That’s horrible.”

Meanwhile in Texas, Brownfield Texas Regional Center said they could close down if they lose too many workers over forced vaccinations. In addition, CEO of Seminole Hospital District, Larry Gray, said that while vaccinations are encouraged for his staff, he doesn’t believe mandating the vaccine is appropriate.
“I think the mandate is just a terrible message because if the vaccinations are working, why do you have to mandate people to get the vaccines? What happens to individual choice and medical decisions between the patient and their doctor, which is all of the things we’re trying to support,” conveyed Gray.
A growing number of health care workers have also begun questioning how vaccine mandates can be enforced. Kasie Barrett, a Duke Health employee, said she’s curious as to how anyone could have the authority to mandate anything on another individual. Barrett went on to say she had a right to choose.
In the meantime, while many are hopeful vaccine mandates will be helpful, others believe the mandates will backfire and people will continue to resist.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden mapped out a new era of vigorous competition without a new Cold War despite China’s ascendance during his first United Nations address on Tuesday, promising military restraint and a robust fight against climate change.
The United States will help resolve crises from Iran to the Korean Peninsula to Ethiopia, Biden told the annual U.N. General Assembly gathering.
The world faces a “decisive decade,” Biden said, one in which leaders must work together to combat a raging coronavirus pandemic, global climate change and cyber threats. He said the United States will double its financial commitment on climate aid and spend $10 billion to fight hunger.
Biden did not ever say the words “China” or “Beijing” but sprinkled implicit references to America’s increasingly powerful authoritarian competitor throughout his speech, as the two nations butt heads in the Indo-Pacific and on trade and human rights issues.
He said the United States will compete vigorously, both economically and to push democratic systems and rule of law.
“We’ll stand up for our allies and our friends and oppose attempts by stronger countries to dominate weaker ones, whether through changes to territory by force, economic coercion, technical exploitation or disinformation. But we’re not seeking – I’ll say it again – we are not seeking a new Cold War or a world divided into rigid blocs,” Biden said.
Biden came to the United Nations facing criticism at home and abroad for a chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan that left some Americans and Afghan allies still in that country and struggling to get out.
‘A NEW ERA’
His vow for allied unity is being tested by a three-way agreement among the United States, Australia and Britain that undermined a French submarine deal and left France feeling stabbed in the back.
“We’ve ended 20 years of conflict in Afghanistan and as we close this era of relentless war, we’re opening a new era of relentless diplomacy,” Biden said.
Biden vowed to defend vital U.S. national interests, but said that “the mission must be clear and achievable,” and the American military “must not be used as the answer to every problem we see around the world.”
Biden, a Democrat, hoped to present a compelling case that the United States remains a reliable ally to its partners around the world after four years of “America First” policies pursued by his Republican predecessor Donald Trump.
Overcoming global challenges “will hinge on our ability to recognize our common humanity,” Biden said.
Biden added that he remains committed to peacefully resolving a dispute with Iran over its nuclear program. He vowed to defend U.S. ally Israel but said a two-state solution with the Palestinians is still needed but a distant goal.
He said the United States wants “sustained diplomacy” to resolve the crisis surrounding North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. North Korea has rejected U.S. overtures to engage in talks.
Discussing oppression of racial, ethnic and religious minorities, Biden singled out China’s Xinjiang region where rights groups estimate that one million Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities have been interned in camps.
In response to Biden’s reference to Xinjiang, China’s mission to the United Nations, told Reuters: “It’s completely groundless. We totally reject. The U.S. should pay more attention to its own human rights problems.”
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who begins a second five-year term at the helm of the world body on Jan. 1, warned earlier of the dangers of the growing gap between China and the United States, the world’s largest economies.
“I fear our world is creeping towards two different sets of economic, trade, financial and technology rules, two divergent approaches in the development of artificial intelligence – and ultimately two different military and geopolitical strategies,” Guterres said.
“This is a recipe for trouble. It would be far less predictable than the Cold War,” Guterres said.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) gave remarks at the Del Rio border crossing to address the ongoing crisis as thousands of Haitian migrants have flooded that area of the border. During his speech on Tuesday, Abbott slammed the Biden administration for its open border policies.
Around 8,600 migrants have remained at the Del Rio crossing, which was down from a peak of 15,000 over the weekend as federal officials rushed to send people back to their home countries. Abbott said the state has spent upwards of $3 billion on protecting the border in the absence of any help from the Biden administration.
Abbott went on to say, “because the Biden administration has been promoting and allowing open border policies, it has been the state of Texas that had to step up and address this challenge and work with the local mayor, the local county judge and the local sheriff.”
Border security officials also spoke at the conference, with both the president of the Border Patrol Council and the director of the Texas Public Safety Department criticizing Biden for abandoning the border. They also praised Abbott for stepping up to the plate to take on the migrant crisis.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) responded to the Senate parliamentarian’s ruling against the Democrat immigration agenda. On Monday, the senator said he was frustrated by the ruling, which confirmed a pathway to citizenship for immigrants cannot be in the reconciliation package.
Schumer said despite the decision, Democrats will continue to push “alternative proposals.” He also said he will be meeting with the parliamentarian soon to discuss the matter more closely.
“Last night’s ruling was extremely disappointing,” stated the the New York lawmaker. “It saddened me, it frustrated me, it angered me because so many lives are at stake. But make no mistake, the fight continues. Senate Democrats have prepared alternative proposals.”
In the meantime, Democrats such as congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) are suggesting that Schumer ignore the ruling and put a pathway to citizenship in the reconciliation package anyway.
According to a White House spokesperson, Joe Biden also fully supports including the measure and “fully expects our partners in the Senate to come back with alternative proposals for the Parliamentarian to consider.”

A Democrat congressman seemingly broke ranks by calling the southern border is a “humanitarian crisis.” On Monday, Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) said conditions at the southern border are unacceptable.
Aguilar, who serves as co-chair at the House Democrat Caucus, said the crisis at the southern border has a massive impact on nearly every country in the Americas. According to the California Democrat, migrants at the border need to “know the rules” and follow them.
“Many of the individuals are Haitian immigrants as well, so we need to make sure that we are dialoguing with all of these countries,” he stated. “Making sure that individuals know the rules of the road and exercise those, and ensure that we have humanitarian abilities to help because clearly what is happening is not ideal.”
Congressman Aguilar went on to say the U.S. needs to work with other countries to combat the recent flood of immigrants at the southern border. Meanwhile, another large group of illegal migrants are on their way to the U.S. border.
According to reports Monday, a group of 6,000 migrants from Haiti are making their way through Mexico in hopes of reaching the U.S. In recent days, thousands of Haitian migrants have crossed the C back and forth allegedly to avoid the Department of Homeland Security’s attempts to deport them.
At least 12,000 Haitian migrants have traveled to Del Rio, where they are gathering in makeshift camps under the International Bridge. They are facing dehydration, hunger and disease. In this light, some migrants choose to stay in Mexico.
“The Americans are grabbing Haitians and deporting everyone to Haiti,” stated migrant Jean Philipe Samus. “Haiti has no president, no jobs. There is nothing. In the earthquake a lot of people died. It’s not right over there. I’m going back to Mexico.”
Despite booking deportation flights back to Haiti and other countries, officials have said migrants are arriving quicker than they can be deported.

The Senate Homeland Security Committee held a hearing to evaluate U.S. security 20 years since the 9/11 attacks. FBI Director Christopher Wray testified on Tuesday, in which he said the number of domestic terrorism cases in the U.S. has more than doubled since spring of last year.
Wray said about 2,700 domestic terror cases have been under investigation and added the greatest threat in the U.S. was from lone actors. He also said foreign terror groups have continued to attack the U.S. as the bureau has kept an eye on the evolving situation in Afghanistan.
“Our adversaries are committed and they are hoping to succeed just once, while we are working to bat a thousand,” he stated. “We’re working with our partners to identify and stop would be attackers before they act.”
Wray went on to say during the past two years, the Bureau has thwarted potential terror attacks in major cities including Las Vegas, New York City, Cleveland and Kansas City. He added preventing terrorist attacks in the U.S. would remain the FBI’s top priority.

A new book has revealed the controversies around Hunter Biden’s laptops are legitimate as it sheds light on Joe Biden’s activities in China and Ukraine. The book, written by Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger, cites that the emails about Joe Biden’s 10 percent cut in foreign business deals are real.
The book was previewed by investigative reporter Glenn Greenwald. It found Ukrainian and Chinese businessmen were, in fact, offering Hunter Biden kickbacks to be held for “the big guy.” Greenwald said the suppression of these revelations by the media and Big Tech ahead of 2020 elections was a “grave assault.”
“In general, journalists do not care where the material comes from if its (A) authentic and (B) newsworthy,” explained the investigative reporter. “So this idea that journalists are using is ‘oh my god, this might have come from Russia, therefore we shouldn’t report it’…there is a complete corruption of the journalistic function.”
Greenwald also said the book proves that the CIA lied when it said Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation.”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A senior U.S. Democrat said on Thursday that multiple congressional committees will investigate a drone strike that killed 10 Afghan civilians last month, to determine what went wrong and answer questions about future counterterrorism strategy.
“This is an issue that several committees are going to look at, and we’ve already started to do that,” Representative Adam Schiff, chairman of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, told reporters.
The U.S. military apologized on Friday for the Aug. 29 drone strike in Kabul that killed as many as 10 civilians, including seven children, calling it a “tragic mistake.”
The Pentagon had said the strike targeted an Islamic State suicide bomber who posed an imminent threat to U.S.-led troops as they completed their withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The intelligence failure raised hard questions about future risks, particularly whether the United States can keep track of threats from Afghanistan without a presence in the country.
“Particularly as we are going to be moving to an over-the-horizon strategy, we need to understand exactly what went wrong and what that means in terms of the limits of what we are able to do,” Schiff told a meeting with journalists sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.
“Over-the-horizon” refers to counterterrorism efforts from outside Afghanistan, such as drone strikes from bases located 1,000 miles from their targets.
The confirmation of civilian deaths provided further fuel to critics of the chaotic U.S. withdrawal, which generated the biggest foreign policy crisis yet for President Joe Biden’s administration.
Many of Biden’s fellow Democrats, as well as Republicans, have criticized the conduct of the withdrawal. Congressional committees have scheduled hearings with top administration officials.
Schiff said he backed the withdrawal. “We can’t occupy everywhere,” he said. “Today there is a greater risk in other parts of the world than there is in Afghanistan.”

Police officers clashed with Australians protesting compulsory vaccinations for construction workers. Sky News Australia reported Victoria Police censored media coverage of Melbourne’s protests by banning the livestreaming of aerial footage.
Meanwhile, social media has shown officers firing pepper spray and rubber bullets in the backs of fleeing protesters. Some in Australian media have come out against the blackout by calling it a pathetic attempt by an overzealous police force, which has lost control of its own city.
“We have to be able to show people what is happening. It’s not what we do,” stated Darren Wick, news director of Nine News. “We are not a police state, so it’s very unprecedented and it’s very uncomfortable the decision being made to ban the helicopter coverage of this for the next several days is over reach and its a very dangerous precedent.”
Protests across Australia have been the most active largely due to the restrictions by left-wing Premier Dan Andrews.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel on Friday of destroying the two-state solution with actions he said could lead Palestinians to demand equal rights within one binational state comprising Israel, the occupied West Bank and Gaza.
Addressing the U.N. General Assembly via video link from the West Bank, Abbas, 85, urged the international community to act to save the two-state formula that for decades has been the bedrock of diplomacy for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Abbas said Israel was “destroying the prospect of a political settlement based on the two-state solution” through its settlements on West Bank land it captured in the 1967 Middle East war.
Most countries view the settlements as illegal; a position Israel disputes.
“If the Israeli occupation authorities continue to entrench the reality of one apartheid state as is happening today, our Palestinian people and the entire world will not tolerate such a situation,” Abbas said. Israel rejects accusations of apartheid.
“Circumstances on the ground will inevitably impose equal and full political rights for all on the land of historical Palestine, within one state. In all cases, Israel has to choose,” Abbas said from Ramallah, the seat of his Palestinian Authority, which has limited self-rule in the West Bank.
There was no immediate Israeli comment on Abbas’ remarks.
Critics say internal Palestinian divisions have also contributed to the deadlock in U.S.-sponsored peace talks, which collapsed in 2014.
Under interim peace accords with Israel, Abbas’ PA was meant to exercise control in Gaza as well. But his Islamist rivals Hamas seized the coastal enclave in 2007 and years of on-and-off talks have failed to break their impasse.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, a far-rightist who sits atop a cross-partisan coalition, opposes Palestinian statehood. His government has vowed to avoid sensitive choices towards the Palestinians and instead focus on economic issues.
In his U.N. address, Abbas threatened to rescind the Palestinians’ recognition of Israel if it does not withdraw from the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem within a year.
“If this is not achieved, why maintain recognition of Israel based on the 1967 borders? Why maintain this recognition?” Abbas said.
While some Palestinians and Israelis support the idea of a single binational state, most have very different ideas of what that entity would look like and how it would be governed.
Most analysts contend a single state would not be viable, for religious, political and demographic reasons. Israeli governments have viewed a one-state concept as undermining the essence of an independent Jewish state.
U.S. President Joe Biden reiterated his support for the two-state solution during his own U.N. address on Tuesday, saying it would ensure “Israel’s future as a Jewish, democratic state living in peace alongside a viable and democratic Palestinian state.”

Pennsylvania’s attorney general has sued to stop a subpoena from being enforced in the Republican-backed probe of the state’s 2020 presidential election results. In the lawsuit filed on Thursday, Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) asked a court to block a subpoena to election officials, which request voter information as part of an investigation into the election.
In the filing, Shapiro claimed the subpoena has no legitimate legislative purpose. Shapiro also claimed requests for information on voters is “illegal, unconstitutional and unenforceable.”
“We plan to argue in court that these subpoenas violate those rights without any justifiable legislative purpose,” said Shapiro.
This comes as state GOP lawmakers have contended Shapiro is trying to stop them conducting oversight of the executive branch. Republican leaders have argued the subpoenas are necessary in order to delve deeper into their investigation and to ensure fairness in future elections.

Joe Biden doesn’t plan to use executive privilege to conceal Trump-era documents from the Jan. 6 committee. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki made Biden’s stance clear during a press conference on Friday.
Executive privilege is a president’s ability to withhold certain executive documents and information from the judicial or legislative branches. Far from blocking the committee’s investigation, Psaki said the administration would work in tandem with the commission regarding the day in question.
“We will respond promptly to these questions as they arise and certainly as they come up from Congress,” said Psaki. “And certainly we have been working closely with the congressional committees and others as they work to get to the bottom of what happened on January 6, an incredibly dark day in our democracy.”
This comes after the committee issued subpoenas to several Trump aides on Thursday. Meanwhile, Trump has vowed he would fight the subpoenas and records request using executive privilege and other grounds.
“We will fight the subpoenas on executive privilege and other grounds, for the good of our country,” said the 45th president in a statement.

Joe Biden delivered remarks regarding his response to COVID-19, the crisis along the southern border and the stalled $3.5 trillion Democrat spending package. Speaking from the White House on Friday, Biden touted efforts to get COVID-19 vaccine booster shots out to the public. He announced anyone who received the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine is eligible to receive a third one after six months.
“My message today is this, if you’ve got the Pfizer vaccine January, February, March of this year, and you’re over 65 years of age, go get the booster,” said Biden. “Or if you have a medical condition like diabetes or you’re a frontline worker, like a health care worker or a teacher, you can get a free booster now.”
Biden said the goal is to keep those that are already fully vaccinated, protected from the virus.
“The bottom line is if you’re fully vaccinated, you’re highly protected from severe illness even if you get COVID-19. In fact, recent data indicates there’s only one confirmed positive case per 5,000 fully vaccinated Americans per day,” claimed Biden. “You’re safe as possible. You’re in good shape and we’re doing everything we can to keep it that way, which is where the booster comes in.”
Biden then shifted the focus of his remarks to two other issues plaguing his presidency. He first addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding the use of horse patrols at the southern border to dissuade migrants from coming across. The controversy began when a photo circulated showing an agent appearing to use the reigns of his horse on a migrant.
Despite Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas refuting the claim, explaining that the reigns were long so that agents could better control their horses and they weren’t used on migrants, Biden condemned the agents.
Switching from an international crisis to a domestic one, Biden attempted to drum up support for the Democrats two massive spending bills. “I support a lot of these proposals. We don’t need all of the things I support to pay for this, but I do support that,” Biden said.
Although, while the coronavirus, border and Capitol Hill crises continue, Biden headed to Camp David to spend the weekend far from Washington and far from the issues causing his approval rating to plummet.

Cyber security contractors said an administrator account deleted the entire Maricopa County general election results the day before the audit began. Digital forensic auditors Ben Cotton and Doug Logan presented their findings to Arizona Senate President Karen Fann in Phoenix on Friday.
In his technical analysis, CyFIR founder Ben Cotton maintained the EMS server was connected to the internet February 1 and SQL logs indicated election records were wiped that day right before two audits were due to begin on February 2.
“There’s also a correlation to the purging of the database. It’s the day before the audit,” he announced. “Almost the same time exactly. Obviously, this requires an explanation.”
Cyber Ninjas founder Doug Logan confirmed this finding of the forensic audit.
Logan went on to explained, “some individual went into an application and they chose specifically to run something that would clear all records in the system that was used to generate the official results, the day before an audit started.”
The intentional overwrite of the security logs was cleared by the EMS administration account. The account was not assigned to any one particular individual, which presented the unique challenge of pinpointing the culprit.
However, Cotton said they luckily had data they were able to backtrack and align with video feeds.
He went on to say, “we have captured screen shots of Maricopa County people at the keyboards during those time periods.”
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich has said he would take all necessary actions that were supported by evidence and where he had legal authority.

The audit of 2020 elections in Arizona found 49,000 votes raised questions of authenticity and legitimacy of election outcomes. According to the audit report, more than 23,000 votes came from people who no longer lived at the address where their mail-in ballot was sent.
In addition, 9,000 more mail-in ballots were received than sent out by the county, while another 5,000 voters potentially voted in several counties. State lawmakers said they would refer these findings for criminal prosecution.
“You’re looking at jail time, whether that’s a second-degree misdemeanor, third degree misdemeanor. It doesn’t matter to me. As long as there is a penalty behind it and I would really love to see a fine,” expressed Rep. Mark Finchem (R-Ariz.). “If somebody knows that there’s a $10,000 fine for filling out that form or doing that thing that will interfere with somebody else’s election, somebody else’s election to be governed.”
Auditors also found election files were deleted several times after the election. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich says he’s now looking into the matter.

The Deep State has appeared to still be firmly opposed to President Trump amid the speculation of his possible run for presidency in 2024. In an ABC interview on Sunday, former senior DHS official Brian Murphy accused the 45th president of “spreading disinformation” and “posing an alleged threat to democracy.”
Murphy failed to provide examples of said disinformation. He went on to detail his recent efforts to stifle political debate in the U.S.
“I have the opportunity to go work for a company called Logically. That’s my next step in life. I am very appreciative of it, where we are going to go combat disinformation at scale across the globe. We’re not the thought police, but disinformation is a deliberative campaign to put out false information,” he stated. “It’s on social media, it’s not rarely understood by a lot of people.

President Trump’s rally in Perry, Georgia posted major attendance numbers in a good sign for the GOP ahead of 2022 midterms. According to local media, at least 20,000 people attended Trump’s Save America rally on Saturday after his purported loss of the state to Joe Biden by 12,000 alleged votes.
Trump went on to say, “most corrupt election in the history of most countries, to be followed by an even more glorious victory in November of 2024.”
The rally featured appearances by GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker, Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.) and Sen. Burt Jones (R-Ga.). Rally attendees said they were unhappy with what has been going on in this country.
“There are a lot of people who are upset not just about the elections, but just kind of the things are going on right now,” Jones expressed. “The price of gasoline has gone up, almost doubled in the last eight months. You got a border crisis going on over on our border. You got an embarrassment that went on in Afghanistan.”
Trump reassured the audience he expected big GOP victories going forward.
9/26/2021 Pelosi: It’s ‘Self-Evident’ Reconciliation Bill Will Be Less Than $3.5T by OAN Newsroom

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) shifted her messaging around the reconciliation package. Going on the weekend talk show circuit on Sunday, the California Democrat said the final proposal would be less than the $3.5 trillion currently proposed.
Pelosi said a reduction in the price tag for the package was self evident.
“Yea. I mean, That seems self evident. That seems self evident,” she said. “So, it’s not just, we have some, shall we say, birdbath, privileged, kinds of things. It’s legislation, so. The fact is that this is the excitement of it all.”
Pelosi has said the bipartisan infrastructure deal, priced at $1.2 trillion, could receive a vote as early as Monday. Before this point, she had tied passage of infrastructure to passage of reconciliation at the same time.
Members of the progressive wing of the Democrats have demanded the two bills be tied together. Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D) said she believed infrastructure would not be voted on without reconciliation because Pelosi knew she didn’t have the votes to pass infrastructure by itself.
Similar to Pelosi, Jayapal said the $3.5 trillion was not a number set in stone. However, she said she believed no alternatives existed to the current price tag.
“Ultimately, I think it depends on what we put in there. We put our proposal out, it cost $3.5 trillion when you add everything up, but if somebody wants to take something out, we need to hear what that is,” she explained. “I don’t know what the alternative proposal is, so it’s difficult for me to say.”
The mixed messages have not been limited to the House side of the debate over reconciliation. In the Senate, where there was no room for defections among the caucus, the confused messages have been strong as well.
West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin (D) said he believed more time was needed before committing to over $3 trillion in new spending. He added current spending was fine to fund necessary programs through the end of the year, so there was no need to even discuss new spending measures.
While Democrats have sent opposing messages about the costs and timeline of passing the spending spree, Republicans have been unified in their opposition to the partisan reconciliation package. Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey (R) appeared on Jake Tapper’s show on Sunday, where he was asked why Republicans won’t vote to raise the debt ceiling.
Toomey said the Democrats needed to take the debt they were creating on their own and noted the massive spending bill would increase the debt solely for Democrat spending priorities.
“Democrats can pass the debt ceiling all by themselves and that’s what should happen and here’s why Jake. They are in the midst of an absolutely unprecedented, very damaging spending spree on a scale that we have never seen,” he asserted. “They want us to come along and authorize the borrowing to help pay for it when we are totally opposed to what they’re doing.”
If Manchin continues committing to a no vote on new spending, the bill will be dead on arrival in the Senate. Speaker Pelosi is not dismayed from pursuing however, by saying she intends to bring the package to the floor by the end of the week.
9/27/2021 At U.N., Israeli PM Bennett Says Iran Has Crossed All Nuclear ‘Red Lines’ by Michelle Nichols, Matt Spetalnick and Stephen Farrell

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said on Monday that Iran had crossed “all red lines” in its nuclear program and vowed that Israel would not allow Tehran to acquire a nuclear weapon.
In his first speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Bennett said Iran sought to dominate the Middle East under a “nuclear umbrella” and urged a more concerted international effort to halt Iran’s nuclear activities.
But he also hinted at the potential for Israel to act on its own against Iran, something it has repeatedly threatened in the past.
“Iran’s nuclear program has hit a watershed moment, and so has our tolerance. Words do not stop centrifuges from spinning,” Bennett said. “Israel will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.”
Bennett, a far-right politician who ended Benjamin Netanyahu’s 12-year run as prime minister in June, wants U.S. President Joe Biden to harden his stance against Iran, Israel’s regional arch-foe. He opposes the new U.S. administration’s efforts to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal that Biden’s White House predecessor, Donald Trump, abandoned in 2018.
Indirect U.S.-Iran talks in Vienna have stalled as Washington awaits the next move by Iran’s new hardline president, Ebrahim Raisi.
Bennett struck a less combative tone before the United Nations than Netanyahu, who often relied on props and visual aids to dramatize his accusations against Iran, an approach that critics derided as political stunts.
But Bennett has been just as adamant as Netanyahu was in pledging to do whatever is necessary to prevent Iran, which Israel views as an existential threat, from building a nuclear weapon. Iran consistently denies it is seeking a bomb.
“Iran’s nuclear weapons program is at a critical point. All red lines have been crossed, inspections ignored,” Bennett said. “They’re getting away with it.”
He called for international action. “If we put our heads to it, if we’re serious about stopping it, if we use our resourcefulness, we can prevail," Bennett said.
Bennett also took aim at Raisi, accusing him of serious human rights abuses against his own people over the years. Raisi is under targeted U.S. sanctions.
BENNETT SPEECH IGNORES ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT
Bennett made not a single direct mention of the Palestinians in his remarks, except to accuse Iran of backing anti-Israel militant groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Bennett, who sits atop an ideologically diverse coalition, opposes Palestinian statehood.
Biden, in his U.N. speech last week, declared renewed U.S. support for a two-state solution, after Trump distanced himself from that longstanding tenet of U.S. policy, but said Israel and the Palestinians were a long way from achieving it.
Biden’s aides are mindful that U.S. pressure for a resumption of long-dormant peace talks or major Israeli concessions could destabilize the fragile Israeli coalition.
Addressing the General Assembly via video link on Friday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of destroying the two-state solution with actions he said could lead Palestinians to demand equal rights within one binational state comprising Israel, the occupied West Bank and Gaza.
Bennett focused instead on what he touted as the benefits of Israel’s landmark normalization agreements brokered by the Trump administration last year with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco. “More is to come,” he said.
Israel has trumpeted its new diplomatic relations, especially with Gulf neighbors, as having helped forge a regional bulwark against their shared foe, Iran.
Palestinian officials said they felt betrayed by their Arab brethren for reaching deals with Israel without first demanding progress toward the creation of a Palestinian state.

9/27/2021 U.S. Top Security Adviser, Yemen Envoy Head To Saudi, UAE

(Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan will travel to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates along with the U.S. special envoy to Yemen, the White House National Security Council said on Monday.
Brett McGurk, the NSC’s Middle East and North Africa Coordinator, will also join Sullivan and Tim Lenderking, the council spokeswoman Emily Horne said in a statement, adding that Sullivan will meet “with senior leaders on a range of regional and global challenges.”
Sullivan will depart on Monday and hold discussions with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about Yemen, according to the Associated Press, which first reported the trip. He is also expected to meet deputy defence minister Khalid bin Salman, a brother to the crown prince, it said, cited unnamed sources.
The United Nations has described the situation in war-torn Yemen as the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. Seven years of fighting have also plunged the nation into an economic crisis, triggering food shortages.
The United States and Saudi Arabia, which leads a military coalition fighting Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi group in Yemen’s conflict, have pledged millions more dollars in additional aid, as have other countries. https://reut.rs/2WewHkn
Biden has taken a tougher stance with Saudi Arabia than his predecessor Donald Trump, criticizing the kingdom over its human rights record while releasing a U.S. intelligence report earlier this year implicating the Saudi crown prince in the 2018 killing of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The prince denies any involvement.
Earlier this month, the FBI released a newly declassified document about its investigation of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States and allegations of Saudi government support for the hijackers, following an executive order by Biden. The Kingdom has long said it had no role in the attacks.

[Just of a reminder: Jake Sullivan, is another top advisor in Clinton’s campaign, who played a role in forming the Trump-Russia collusion narrative so they sent him to try to make the Saudi's admit a crime when he cannot cop to his either and what is scarier is that he may try to screw up the Abraham Accord so Joe can take credit for it.].
9/27/2021 GOP Urges Biden To Show Scientists Behind Murky COVID-19 Probe by OAN Newsroom

House Republicans are demanding to know who led the probe into the origins of COVID-19. During an interview on Sunday, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said it’s hard to have confidence in the investigation when it’s unclear who was involved.
In a letter this weekend, Nunes, along with nine other House Intelligence Committee Republicans, demanded to learn the identities of the scientists who led the “inconclusive” 90-day investigation. They wrote, “this is fundamental oversight of the IC’s work…we need this information to determine whether there was any selection bias in choosing the outside scientists to consult.”
The lawmakers explained that determining the identities of these scientists will help them to detect any possible bias due to conflicts of interest that could have affected their analyses. This comes as the the origins of this coronavirus outbreak remains unclear.
“Evidence shows that the IC’s (Intelligence Community) failures continued in the pandemic’s aftermath,” said Nunes. “Specifically, Republican members are aware of allegations that the IC suppressed dissenting views related to the origins of the pandemic and that the community relied upon ‘outside’ experts with concerning yet undisclosed entanglements.”
The ranking member believes this lack of transparency is the Biden administration’s latest fold to China. He suggested a new report should be written for the American people as “this is another attempt to obfuscate and protect” Beijing.

GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) blasted Joe Biden over his handling of the southern border. In an interview over the weekend, the Tennessee lawmaker said Biden is “turning every town into a border town and every state into a border state” through his decisions.
The Republican asserted that the situation at southern border is not only a national security crisis, but also a humanitarian, health and environmental crisis. Blackburn stressed her constituents are very concerned about the impact of Biden’s approach to illegal immigration.
“This is Biden’s border policy and it’s not a border security policy or a homeland security policy, it is an open border policy,” she stated. “And they are very concerned about the long-term effects of this…of having individuals illegally enter the country, not knowing who is coming in, why they’re coming in.”
Sen. Blackburn also suggested the Biden administration has not properly vetted all Afghan evacuees that have been let into the nation.

Top U.S. military leaders were grilled on Capitol Hill over their roles in the Afghanistan crisis. On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee heard testimony from Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, Secretary of the Department of Defense Lloyd Austin and CENTCOM Commander General Kenneth McKenzie.
“I want to emphasize, all of us here, everyone of us answers to the American people,” asserted Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.). “They deserve transparency and information regarding the administration’s botched and disgraceful withdrawal.”
Senators from both sides agreed the withdrawal from Afghanistan was handled ineffectively by putting the lives of American troops in Jeopardy and diminishing America’s strategic position in the region. However, the military heads argued they prepared for every possible outcome, except for an immediate collapse of the Afghan army and the rapid power shift leaning toward the Taliban.
“In terms of specific planning, especially with respect to NEO, we planned for a contested environment or an uncontested environment, requirement to evacuate a moderate amount of people versus a large amount of people,” Austin stated. “There was a range of possibilities that we addressed.”
Republicans in the upper chamber didn’t buy the defense as they pointed to the 13 dead American service members and mounting threats from the Taliban. Several senators also took aim at the administration’s move to evacuate the military from the country before getting out civilians with ties to the U.S. government.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.): “General Milley, let me direct this to you, did you ever advise in the interagency process that the rapid withdrawal timeline that the White House and Pentagon signed off on, General Miller proposed, effectively getting us to zero by the middle of July, that that would negatively impact any effort to get out our civilians?
General Milley: “Yeah, but it’s more complicated than that.”
In addition, General Milley tried to direct blame at the Intelligence community. He claimed there were many Intelligence reports pointing to a possible overtake by the Taliban happening in 2022 at the latest.
However, he added none of the assessments estimated the Afghan government would fall within 11 days in August. The top general affirmed the Biden White House used the low threat prediction to set the withdrawal date to August 31.
“Is the Intel assessments had two basic things in my view, was the scale and scope plus the speed. All the Intel assessments, all of us, got that wrong,” Milley expressed. “There’s no question about it. That was a swing and miss of the Intel assessment of 11 days in August. There was nobody who called that.”
Hawley pointed out throughout the crisis; the Biden administration was talking out of both sides of their mouths by saying everything was under control when the situation was actually chaotic. He added he believed this strategy was employed to cultivate a positive image to the press.
“At the same time, we had a rapidly deteriorating, frankly disastrous situation in Afghanistan, which resulted in the death of 13 soldiers including one from my own state,” Hawley asserted. “…I think this mission was a catastrophe. I think there’s no other way to say it and there has to be accountability. I respectfully submit it should begin with you.”
Meanwhile, the military leaders vowed to pick up the pieces of the failed withdrawal and set their sights on combating the increasing threat of transnational terrorist activity.

Top military officials testified on the Afghanistan troop withdrawal. On Tuesday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin spoke before the Senate Armed Services Committee, where he said the Biden administration was still working to get Americans out of Afghanistan.
Austin estimated around 100 Americans who have wanted to to leave Afghanistan were still in the country. However, he added the numbers fluctuated daily.
Speaking on the fall of the nation, Austin noted the administration did not plan for the Afghan government collapse in 11 days. He also admitted the administration did not have a full grasp of a number of factors regarding Afghanistan.
“We need to consider some uncomfortable truths that we didn’t fully comprehend the depth of corruption and poor leadership in senior ranks, that we didn’t grasp the damaging effect of frequent and unexplained rotations by President Ghani of his commanders,” he explained. “We didn’t anticipate the snowball effect caused by the deals that the Taliban commanders struck with local leaders in the wake of the Doha Agreement and that the Doha Agreement itself had a demoralizing effect on Afghan soldiers.”
Austin went on to say, “we helped build a state, but we cannot forge a nation.” He added to claim as such would be a dishonesty.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Tuesday that the United States would be at war with the Taliban if Washington had maintained 2,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
Psaki made the comment in seeking to clarify an apparent difference between President Joe Biden’s insistence that there was no split among his military advisers about the withdrawal and a top general’s statement that the U.S. military wanted to leave a contingent of troops in that country.
Psaki said if the United States had left U.S. troops in Afghanistan after Biden’s Aug. 31 pullout deadline, “We would be at war with the Taliban.”

[TELL YOUR FORMER OBAMA PEOPLE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE THOSE TROOPS WOULD HAVE STOPPED THEM AND WATCH THEM RUN LIKE RATS IN THE ALLEYS AND WOULD HAVE GOT ALL AMERICANS AND OTHERS OUT AND DESTROYED REMAINING EQUIPMENT AND THE TALIBAN WOULD BE THE ONLY ONES LOSING LIVES AND WE WOULD STILL HAVE A PLACE TO KEEP AN EYE ON OUR ENEMIES BUT NOW WE HAVE A TOTALLY FAILURE WITH DESTRUCTIVE CONDITIONS.].

Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed military advisors were split over the number of troops to withdraw from Afghanistan. During a press conference after top military leadership testified to a Senate panel Tuesday, she was grilled by the Press Corps over contradicting the testimony.
During the hearing, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley and head of U.S. Central Command Kenneth McKenzie testified that they recommended Joe Biden keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. Psaki said the recommendations were mixed and suggested leaving behind that number of troops would require a surge at a later date.
“Secretary Austin specifically said if you stayed there at a pot force posture of 2,500, certainly you’d be in a fight with the Taliban and you’d have to reinforce,” stated the press secretary. “So what should everybody take from that? There was a range of viewpoints as evidenced by their testimony today.”
Psaki also said that Biden didn’t think continuing the war in Afghanistan was in the best interests of the American people.
“It’s abundantly clear: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ignored the advice from the military and mislead the American people. Biden’s botched Afghan withdrawal could have been prevented and American lives could have been saved.”

Meanwhile more currently, the Department of Homeland Security blocked a charter flight with Americans and green card holders evacuating from Afghanistan. On Tuesday, the founder of the group trying to get the evacuees out said landing rights were denied to his flight because it is an international charter airline.
The flight contained 28 U.S. citizens and 83 green card holders who are trying to get out of the country following the disastrous withdrawal of military forces. An anonymous administration official said he was unaware of the situation, but there is a process to check and verify the flight’s passengers.

A group of Republican senators drafted a bill to restrict vaccine passport requirements by federal agencies. The proposed legislation, titled the “Prevent Unconstitutional Vaccine Mandates for Interstate Commerce Act,” is backed by Sens. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah), among others.
The bill would ban proof of vaccination requirements for the purposes of commerce or travel. The vaccine passport ban would affect the Federal Aviation Administration, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Commerce Department and others.
GOP senators argued vaccine passports would undermine economic growth and infringe on constitutional rights.
“My Prevent Unconstitutional Vaccine Mandates for Interstate Commerce Act ensures that the Biden administration cannot require anyone to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to do business across state borders, and protects Americans’ rights and privacy,” Scott explained.
Meanwhile, Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R) said he plans to introduce a companion bill in the House.
“The last thing that Americans need right now is another mandate that further prevents hardworking citizens from having the freedom to live their lives. Americans should have the right to make the best decision for themselves when it comes to getting the COVID vaccine,” said Crenshaw. “As lawmakers, what we need to do is educate the public in an honest way about the vaccine, and then allow them to make the choice for themselves.”

A candidate for Michigan state legislature, Jacky Eubanks, believes tens-of-thousands of ballots cast in her state last year may be inauthentic. In a recent interview, Eubanks said she conducted a review of a sample of absentee ballots in Chesterfield, Michigan asking actual voters if they cast those ballots.
“We’re looking at an 18 percent to 20 percent irregularity and anomaly rate based on the canvassing we’ve been doing this summer,” stated Eubanks.
This canvass found in certain instances, names and addresses on ballot envelopes were not valid, while other ballots were attributed to voters who said they didn’t vote. Eubanks said this pattern of ghost votes is similar to what was found in Arizona.
“The third and most mysterious kind that we found is people who swear they voted in person at the polling precinct on election day,” said Eubanks. “And even putting their ballot into the tabulator and recall shredding their absentee ballot if it was mailed to them. Yet, there’s still an absentee ballot that’s been counted in their name, according to official records.”
Eubanks also criticized Michigan Republicans, saying they must ramp up efforts to conduct a full forensic audit of 2020 ballots in their state.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Joe Biden lied about the advice he received on keeping troops in Afghanistan. Speaking from the Senate floor on Wednesday, McConnell said Biden “gave our enemies in Afghanistan everything they wanted and got less than nothing in return.”
This comes as Biden has come under fire for publicly misstating the guidance he was given from top generals and rejecting their best military counsel. U.S. Central Command Gen. Frank McKenzie reportedly told Biden to keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. Although, Biden has continued to claim he never received such advice.
“These top generals gave President Biden exactly the advice the President told the American people he had not received,” said McConnell from the Senate floor.
McConnell added the U.S. is now facing a greater terrorist threat from Afghanistan. He noted “we have less intelligence about that growing threat” and fewer tools with which to combat it.

Top military officials wrapped up the second day of testimony on Capitol Hill over Joe Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal. In Wednesday’s House Armed Services Committee hearing, Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin continued to contradict Biden’s public claims about pulling troops out of the country.
Milley said he believed a small troop presence should have remained in Afghanistan a year before the withdrawal, which was a stance directly conveyed to the commander-in-chief.
“In the fall of 2020, my analysis then was that an accelerated withdrawal without meeting specific and necessary conditions, risks losing the substantial gains made in Afghanistan, resulting in a complete Taliban takeover or general civil war,” said Gen. Milley.
On the contrary, Biden claimed he was never advised to leave a small troop presence in Afghanistan. Milley also called the war in Afghanistan a “strategic failure” and warned that the Taliban, now in control of the country, remains a terrorist organization.
