Video Footage of Jussie Smollett with Rope Around His Neck Released by Chicago Police

/0 Comments/in , /by

Chicago police released hundreds of files and nearly 70 hours of video footage on Monday from the investigation into Jussie Smollett’s claim back in January that he was attacked by two men — a claim that police later characterized as a hoax.

In one of the videos, police body-cam footage showed Smollett — with his face blurred — wearing a white rope that he told detectives his attackers looped around his neck. When one of the officers asked Smollett if he wanted to take the rope off of his neck, the 37-year-old actor did while stating: “Yeah. I do. I just wanted you all to see it.” . . .

Investigators went on to tell him that they were recording the visit, to which he said: “I don’t want to be filmed.” The officers then turned off their body cams.

Many files contained surveillance-camera footage that police collected as they launched what they initially called a hate-crime investigation. They also included footage from what appeared to be the route police said the two brothers who participated in the alleged staged January attack took to and from the scene.

The release marked the latest chapter in a story that began with Smollett’s allegations that he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack. He eventually was arrested on charges that he lied to police, but prosecutors later dismissed the charges.

Google Censors Video Exposing Google

/0 Comments/in , /by

Google-owned video platform YouTube took down a video from Project Veritas showing a senior employee at the company appearing to admit that the company plans to interfere in the next presidential election to stop Donald Trump.

The video, which is still available on the Project Veritas website featured undercover footage of a top Google employee, Jen Gennai, stating that the company shouldn’t be broken up because only they can prevent the “next Trump situation.”

Via the video:

Elizabeth Warren is saying we should break up Google. And like, I love her but she’s very misguided, like that will not make it better it will make it worse, because all these smaller companies who don’t have the same resources that we do will be charged with preventing the next Trump situation, it’s like a small company cannot do that.

This corroborates other leaks from Google. Earlier this year, former Google software engineer Mike Wacker published emails appearing to show that a manager at the tech giant told one of their subordinates that the company had to stop “fake news” and “hate speech” because “that’s how Trump won.”

Pompeo Arrives in Middle East to Build ‘Global Coalition’ Against Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is in the Middle East this week to build a “global coalition” against Iran amid intensified tensions between Washington and Tehran.

The likelihood of a military confrontation between Iran and the United States has increased in recent days, notably after Iranian troops shot down an American drone last week. . .

Before leaving the U.S. capital for the Middle East, Pompeo told reporters that he would talk with the two U.S. Sunni Arab allies Saudi Arabia and the UAE:

[A]bout how to make sure that we are all strategically aligned and how we can build out a global coalition, a coalition not only throughout the Gulf states but in Asia and in Europe that…is prepared to push back against the world’s largest state sponsor of terror.

Echoing President Trump, Pompeo noted that the United States is willing to negotiate with Iran without preconditions to ease tensions between the two longtime rivals. Iran, however, has indicated it is not interested in dialogue. (Read more from “Pompeo Arrives in Middle East to Build ‘Global Coalition’ Against Iran” HERE)

Iran Says Latest US Sanctions Ends ‘Channel of Diplomacy Forever’

By Fox News. A spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry said in a tweet Tuesday that the new U.S. sanctions that target Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other Iranian officials permanently end any chance of diplomacy between countries.

The U.S. and Iran have seen tensions increase exponentially in the past few weeks after an initial U.S. sanctions squeeze that Washington said led to the attacks on two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. The situation became increasingly dire last week after Tehran admitted to downing a $100 million U.S. Navy drone.

Abbas Mousavi took to Twitter to call out President Trump’s latest decision to impose additional sanctions and said the sanctions means “closing channel of diplomacy forever,” according to Reuters.

“Trump’s desperate administration is destroying the established international mechanisms for maintaining world peace and security,” the tweet read. (Read more from “Iran Says Latest US Sanctions Ends ‘Channel of Diplomacy Forever'” HERE)

Police Threaten Concerned Moms at Drag Queen Event with Chest-Binding Raffle for Preteens

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Saturday, a library in the Seattle area hosted a “Teen Pride” event for children ages 9-19. The event featured drag queens, all sorts of explicit adult-themed advice, and a raffle for dangerous transgender chest binders. Three local moms, concerned about children being exposed to such things at a taxpayer-funded library, filmed the event in order to expose it. Police escorted the mothers out by force, warning that they were guilty of “criminal trespass.”

The “Teen Pride” event was billed as “a pride celebration designed by teens for teens!” According to the library website, it was suitable for “teens and tweens,” an age range of roughly 9 to 19 years.

“Obviously, we have some really big concerns,” local mom Lynn Meagher told PJ Media. “There wasn’t any restriction on any ages. It was just horrifying to us that they would use the library, the taxpayer public building, to fund this indoctrination of kids. So we are intending to go on the record and expose what they’re doing because we don’t think that anyone should be doing this in a public arena with children.” . . .

“We didn’t talk to any of the kids, we didn’t harass anybody. We were polite,” Meagher said. “I saw kids that looked like they were ten,” and those kids asked confused questions about the explicit materials around them.

Meagher was most horrified by the chest binder raffle. The “Teen Pride” event raffled off eight chest binders to young girls. Girls who identify as masculine use the binders to flatten their chests to appear male. The binders may cause serious harm, such as lung damage, The Christian Post reported. One study reported in The New York Times found that “97.2 percent of the group that bound reported at least one negative physical symptom, such as back pain, overheating, chest pain and shortness of breath. Other symptoms included numbness, bad posture and lightheadedness.”

New York Parents with Unvaccinated Children Threatened with CPS Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new law in Albany, New York, requiring all school children, public and private, to be vaccinated by July in order to continue their education is causing confusion and panic. Parents in the Deer Park area have received a letter from Assistant Superintendent James Cummings explaining that “In the event that you do not follow this mandate we will be reaching out to Child Protective Services to alert them of your non-compliance.”

PJ Media reached out to Cummings and confirmed that this is the letter he sent out on June 18. Cummings responded by email and contradicted his letter, saying, “The district will not be contacting CPS in these cases, but must uphold the new mandate of requiring vaccines to enroll or remain enrolled in the school.” He chose not to explain why this letter says the opposite but did say a new one is going out today or tomorrow. Cummings declined to give PJ Media a copy of the new letter or expand on why the threat was included in the original.

Parents across New York who do not vaccinate for religious reasons and were using the religious exemption to place children in schools are receiving letters daily from educational institutions informing them they must comply or get out. Some parents have also received letters from summer camps disinviting their children, though the bill does not specify summer camps as included in the mandates, although the Department of Health issued a letter to summer camps demanding that they comply with the bill that targets schools. Further, parents with disabled children are being told their students will lose their IEP services if they homeschool. One parent reported on social media, “Our school district, Hilton, told me over the phone that anyone who isn’t up-to-date on vaccinations, or doesn’t comply with the CDC catch up schedule (even if their doctor recommends a different schedule), will not receive IEP services by law, not even homeschoolers.” This appears to contradict state law regarding children with disabilities.

Eric Swalwell’s Race-Baiting: ‘If You’re Hispanic,’ Trump Will ‘Cage Your Children’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Political attacks seem to get coarser and coarser, but 2020 Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) seemed to redefine disgusting race-baiting rhetoric over the weekend. On Saturday, he warned all Hispanic Americans that President Donald Trump would break up their families, put their children in cages, and “erase” their existence in the census.

“If you’re Hispanic, there’s nothing [Donald Trump] wont do to break up your family, cage your children, or erase your existence with a weaponized census. And there’s nothing we won’t do in the streets, courts, and at the ballot box to stop him,” Swalwell tweeted.

In this one tweet, Swalwell repeated the blatant lie about “kids in cages,” and used race-baiting in a ridiculous attempt to demonize Trump and gain support for his longshot presidential bid. He also seemingly insulted all Hispanic Americans — by suggesting that none of them are legal inhabitants of this country. Perhaps he should meet prominent Republican Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), former presidential candidates who are themselves Hispanic and legal citizens who oppose illegal immigration. . .

As for “kids in cages,” this frequently repeated Democrat smear comes from a viral photo of a child in a cage. That photo did not come from Trump’s immigration policy, but rather from an orchestrated protest against the Trump administration. Other photos came from 2014, during the Obama administration.

Last May, Trump tweeted, “Democrats mistakenly tweet 2014 pictures from Obama’s term showing children from the Border in steel cages. They thought it was recent pictures in order to make us look bad, but backfires. Dems must agree to Wall and new Border Protection for good of country…Bipartisan Bill!” PolitiFact rated his statement “True.” (Read more from “Eric Swalwell’s Race-Baiting: ‘If You’re Hispanic,’ Trump Will ‘Cage Your Children'” HERE)

YIKES: CNN Interview with Trump Rape Accuser Goes off the Rails

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday morning, CNN’s “New Day” anchor Alisyn Camerota interviewed Elle magazine advice columnist E. Jean Carroll —and it was a doozy.

Carroll, who claims in her new book that President Donald Trump attempted to sexually assault her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room more than two decades ago, changed her rationale for not pressing charges against Trump and stumbled over answers in a disaster interview with CNN’s Alisyn Camerota Monday.

President Trump has vehemently denied the accusations, claims he doesn’t know Carroll, and has publicly thanked Bergdorf Goodman for “confirming they have no video footage of any such incident.”

In the first part of the interview, Carroll detailed the alleged rape, telling Camerota, “When we walked into the lingerie department there was nobody there, which is strange. It was in the evening, so — and on the counter were three really fancy boxes and a see-through bodysuit. He walked right to the bodysuit and snatched it up and said, ‘Go put this on.’ Now, that struck me as so funny because here I am, a 52 — I am not going to put — my idea was — I said, ‘No, you put it on.’ And he said, ‘No, it looks like it fits you.’ I said, ‘No, it goes with your eyes.’ So I am spinning a comedy scene in my head.” . . .

When asked if she would press charges against Trump, since she apparently still has the dress she wore during the alleged attack, Carroll claimed she would not because the statute of limitations has since run on the incident.

Mexico Deploying 15,000 Troops to U.S. Border to Stop Illegal Immigration into U.S.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mexican Secretary of Defense Luis Sandoval said on Monday that Mexico is deploying thousands of soldiers to the U.S.-Mexico border to help stop the massive flow of illegal immigration into the United States.

“Mexico has deployed almost 15,000 troops to the US-Mexico border to curve migration flow,” CNN reporter Nick Valencia tweeted. “An additional ~2,000 National Guard elements have also been deployed across the country’s southern border with Guatemala & Belize.: MX Secretary of Defense Luis Sandoval.”

The move by Mexico comes after the Trump administration increased pressure on the Mexican government to significantly increase its efforts to stop the seemingly endless flow of migrants that are illegally entering the United States.

Trump announced at the end of last month that Mexico would face tariffs that would devastate their economy if they did not step up to the table and make serious efforts to help stop the problem.

Trump tweeted: “On June 10th, the United States will impose a 5% Tariff on all goods coming into our Country from Mexico, until such time as illegal migrants coming through Mexico, and into our Country, STOP. The Tariff will gradually increase until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied, at which time the Tariffs will be removed. Details from the White House to follow.”

Don Jr. Confronts AOC’s Concentration Camp Remarks with Video of Actual Holocaust Survivors

/0 Comments/in , /by

Over the weekend, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., continued to get blowback over her now-infamous comments in which she compared U.S. government facilities to concentration camps used by the Third Reich. This time it came from Donald Trump Jr.

“Guess who knows more about concentration camps than you?,” the president’s son tweeted at the New York congresswoman. “These Holocaust survivors. They have a message for you. Why don’t you listen — for once[?]”

Trump’s tweet included a video from Turning Point USA in which Holocaust survivors David Tuck and Sami Steigmann address the freshman Democrat’s recent controversial comparison of ICE detention facilities to World War II concentration camps.

“I was in four concentration camps,” said Tuck, who shows the number on his arm to the camera. “We have no concentration camps here. This is just a political comment.” He later said, “don’t talk to me about concentration camps.”

“I went through it,” Steigmann — who was subjected to Nazi medical experiments — says in the video. “How can you, looking at my face, tell me that the camps that we have in the south are concentration camps? What you are doing, you are insulting every victim of the Holocaust. Shame on you.”

The tweet and video are available here.

Since making her remarks last week, in which she said that overburdened ICE detention facilities are “exactly like” concentration camps used during the Holocaust, Ocasio-Cortez has been invited to educate herself on the matter by visiting the camps by both Polish government officials and a Holocaust remembrance group. She declined the latter invitation over the weekend, claiming that it was a “far-right” move for “political gain.” (For more from the author of “Don Jr. Confronts AOC’s Concentration Camp Remarks with Video of Actual Holocaust Survivors” please click HERE)

Bernie Sanders Proposes Plan to Wipe out College Debt for About 45M Americans

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) announced on Monday that he will introduce legislation that would eliminate the estimated $1.6 trillion worth of student debt held by around 45 million U.S. citizens.

Sanders claimed that this massive expenditure can be funded by a 0.5 percent tax on all stock trades, a 0.005 percent fee on derivative trades, and a 0.1 percent tax on bond trades. According to the Washington Post, Sanders believes these taxes would raise $2 trillion over a 10-year period. He did not indicate whether or not his plan included research on if this would have an impact on the stock market or stock trading itself.

The proposed plan would also make community colleges and public four-year colleges free. It is not clear at this point what the full cost of Sanders’ plan would be, when subsidies for public colleges is factored in. The debt forgiveness portion of this legislation would necessarily also have some degree of administrative costs. The plan to cancel student debt appears to be a a one-time offer, and not something that would apply to all holders of student debt in the future.

This bill is in line with other proposals for massive government intervention from Sanders, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist.

Sanders called the plan “truly a revolutionary proposal.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) will introduce similar legislation in the House of Representatives. The legislation also has the support of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who joined Sanders at a news conference Monday morning to announce the proposal.

Fellow presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has also proposed a similar plan for student debt forgiveness. However, unlike Warren’s plan which would eliminate only a percentage of student debt based on the household income of the person holding that debt, Sanders’ plan would eliminate all of the debt for every student in the country. regardless of personal wealth or household income level.

Sanders introduced a similar bill, the “College For All Act,” in 2016. (For more from the author of “Bernie Sanders Proposes Plan to Wipe out College Debt for About 45M Americans” please click HERE)
