WATCH: Twitter Permanently Bans Free Speech Activist for Response to Trans Woman’s Vulgar Tweet About Her Genitalia

/0 Comments/in , /by

In this episode of “Pseudo-Intellectual,” host Lauren Chen talked about Canadian free speech advocate Lindsay Shepherd who was permanently banned from Twitter after an online altercation with a transgender woman named Jessica Yaniv.

According to The Post Millennial, Shepherd claimed, “I got suspended for two tweets (although they didn’t tell me exactly which tweets were the problem so I am giving my best guess): last night, JY tweeted that I have a loose vagina from pushing a 10 pound baby out, but he still has a “tight p***y” (in reality, JY still has male genitalia according to the proceedings of the current human rights tribunals he’s been testifying in; and in reality I had a C-section and a 6 pound 10 oz baby).”

Shepard reportedly replied by saying, “This is something a man who has no functional romantic relationships with women would say.” After Yaniv sent an additional mocking tweet, she added, “at least I have a uterus, you fat ugly man.”

Radical Proposal: Rashida Tlaib Calls for $20-An-Hour Minimum Wage

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., called for a federal minimum wage of $20 per hour at an event in Detroit on Sunday night, prompting mockery from conservatives and threatening to force mainline Democrats in the 2020 presidential race to address the issue in upcoming debates.

Tlaib’s comment came during remarks to the Restaurant Opportunities Center of Michigan and the labor rights group One Fair Wage, and were recorded by the conservative political action committee America Rising. The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives passed a $15 federal minimum wage bill last week, but it has little chance of passing the GOP-controlled Senate. . .

“Think about that for one minute. People cannot live on those kind of wages, and I can’t allow people to be living off tips, you know, relying on tips for wages. It’s just not enough to support our families. … By the way, when we started it, it should have been $15,” she said at the event, titled “Server for an Hour.”

“Now I think it should be $20 — make sure America Rising hears that,” she continued, to applause. “It should be $20 an hour — $18 to $20 an hour at this point. … They say all of this is going to raise the cost, but I can tell you, milk has gone up, eggs have gone up, everything has gone up. The cost of a lot of things that we need has gone up already.”

In a 231-199 vote along party lines on Thursday, the House passed legislation that would increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour, more than double the current rate of $7.25. In an even more drastic increase, the bill calls for having the same minimum wage for tipped workers, raising it from $2.13 an hour.

Major Poll Has Good News for Trump’s 2020 Chances

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new major poll found that President Trump has the highest approval numbers of his presidency and his chances of reelection are virtually the same as former President Barack Obama’s were at the same time in his presidency.

The Marist poll, conducted July 15-17 among over 1,300 Americans, 33% of whom identified as Democrats and 27% Republican, found that President Trump’s approval rating had risen to 44%; the highest previous number for Trump in the Marist poll was 43% in February 2019. 90% of Republicans approved of Trump’s performance, with 42% of independents agreeing and only 7% of Democrats.

39% of national adults said they would definitely vote for Trump in 2020, with a whopping 89% of Republicans agreeing they would vote for him. 33% of independents agreed. . .

And yet another crucial statistic that looks rosy for Trump: 52% of respondents said they approved of his handling of the economy. That compares quite well with Obama, who only reached that level until August 2009, seven months after he took office; after that, Obama never again reached that level, yet was reelected. . .

Age-wise, Trump was strongest with those between 39 and 54; 51% said they would definitely vote for him, as opposed to those aged 18-38, where only 23% agreed. 66% of Evangelical Christians said they would definitely vote for Trump. 55% of respondents from rural areas said they would vote for Trump, as opposed to only 31%of those from big cities.

South Korea Fires Warning Shots as Russian, Chinese Military Planes Enter Airspace

/0 Comments/in , /by

South Korea has reportedly fired warning shots after Russian military planes violated the nation’s airspace on Tuesday, according to South Korea’s Defense Ministry.

The Associated Press reported that, according to South Korea’s Defense Ministry, “multiple Russian military planes violated the South Korean airspace off its east coast” and “Chinese military planes also intruded into South Korea’s aerial identification zone.” . . .

The provocation comes after “two Russian military aircraft violated South Korea’s air defense identification zone [last Thursday], prompting the Air Force to scramble fighter jets in response,” the Korea Herald reported.

The incident comes as North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un “inspected a large newly built submarine, state news agency KCNA reported on Tuesday, potentially signalling continued development of a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) program,” Reuters reported. . .

“We can clearly see that it is a massive submarine — much larger than the existing one that’s been well known since 2014,” said Ankit Panda, a senior fellow at the U.S.-based Federation of American Scientists. “What I find significant about the political messaging here is that this is the first time since a February 2018 military parade that he has inspected a military system clearly designed to carry and deliver nuclear weapons. I take that as an ominous signal that we should be taking Kim Jong Un’s end-of-year deadline for the implementation of a change in U.S. policy with the utmost seriousness.” (Read more from “South Korea Fires Warning Shots as Russian, Chinese Military Planes Enter Airspace” HERE)

Revealed: The Democrats’ Blueprint to Steal 2020 from the Voters of America

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Democrats intend to steal the presidency in 2020. . .

Here’s three strategies they are implementing or have implemented

Participation in the process. This summer the State of New York attempted a two-step process to allow the maximum number of people to vote—whether they were legally allowed to or not. The one-sided, Democrat-controlled State bodies passed the issuing of driver’s licenses to non-citizens/illegal aliens. But that same group of Democrats also nearly passed the automatically completed voter registration of every license issued. Aliens would have had to “opt out.” Just in case they didn’t, the language also included a provision protecting the illegal voter and the authorities from any criminal wrongdoing. This measure passed one chamber, would’ve been signed by the governor, and had it not been for a true watchdog in the Assembly, would’ve already become law. With the enormous push by non-citizens storming our gates to get in, the corrupt powers incentivizing as much, you have to see the roadmap here could have dramatic impact anyway it is adopted.

The dishonest debate. I readily admit there is almost always a fair amount of exaggeration involved in presidential election cycles. But in the 2020 cycle there has existed two levels of dishonesty that is shockingly horrid. On one hand almost none of the things the Democratic candidates are saying are true. Capitalism hasn’t failed. America is not in decline. Our allies respect us more than at any time in the modern era (perhaps only beaten by the days just following 9/11). We have expanded safety, prosperity and liberty to every aspect of American life. The other layer of dishonesty is in the rhetoric of the new voices of the Democrat’s “fresh new faces.” “The Squad” and the followers who prop them up are not willing to work in the system. They claim patently false things. They claim shocking things. They claim to be informed. And they call “racism” to anyone who disagrees. The media seem to love these new voices and look upon them with almost zero scrutiny. The hope for Democrats is that between the “Squad” screaming these false claims loud enough (with the media’s reverberation) they will be able to sway voters to believe the one liar who gets the nomination.

The invisible manipulation and assistance from Big Tech. Senator Ted Cruz opined in a Senate hearing he chaired this past week that he hoped journalists would catch the biggest take away of the day. According to one of the day’s most credible contributors, Robert Epstein, in 2016 Google alone likely manipulated 2.6 million to as high as 10 million voters to choose Hillary Clinton. In 2018 using his perfected methods of monitoring search activity and effective responses with permission-granted use, Google alone may have influenced upwards of 78.2 million votes to be directed to a single party. His concern in 2020 is that upwards of 15-20 million votes may be directed to a single candidate. And lest you question his bonafides, he’s a Harvard educated Ph.D, a research psychologist with 40 years experience, and previous editor at Psychology Today & Scientific American MIND! He also campaigned, endorsed, and supported Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Democratic Mayor Refuses to Raise the Pride Flag

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a surprise display of a politician departing from his party’s line, a Democratic mayor in Reading, Pennsylvania has refused to raise the LGBT rainbow pride flag over city hall, arguing that it sends a non-impartial political message.

“The flag was originally slated to fly on Monday in recognition of Reading’s Pride Celebration and stay up through the following Sunday,” reports LifeSiteNews. “However, the Reading Eagle reports that Mayor Wally Scott blocked it just minutes before it was set to go up. He objected not to the LGBT lobby’s causes, but to the prospect of flying anything representing a live political cause.”

In a statement to reporters, acting managing director Osmer Deming said that Mayor Scott simply does not wish to use government property to endorse current political movements. “The mayor’s position is that he does not support flags being up that support political movements and he views that as a political movement,” he said.

City council president Jeffrey Waltman said that he tried to change the mayor’s mind but ultimately could not persuade him from “concerns about raising the flag.” Councilwoman Donna Reed said that all plans were in place to have the flag fly until Mayor Scott shut it down at the last minute. “I contacted the managing director and was told this flag would fly through the 21st,” Reed said.

“It was obviously an administrative breakdown that showed up at the last minute. It was approved by Osmer and I guess it didn’t get relayed,” Waltman added.

A North Carolina man has died after a powerful ocean wave struck his head while he was on the beach with his family.

Lee Dingle, a father of six, was playing with three of his children when a powerful wave hit him. The force of the wave pounded Lee’s head into the ground and broke his neck, WTHR reported. . .

Oak Island Water Rescue said in a Facebook post that it, other agencies, and bystanders tried to provide life-saving support to Lee within minutes of the accident. But despite their efforts, Lee died one day later. . .

Lee served as president of Atlas Engineering in Raleigh, North Carolina, a firm which specializes in fixing buildings with structural damage, according to the facility’s website.

Atlas Engineering senior partner Tom Caldwell said he had recently received the promotion to president just two weeks before he died, WSLS reported. (Read more from “Video: Man Dies After Being Struck by Ocean Wave” HERE)

Two Police Officers Fired for Facebook Post About AOC

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two police officers in Louisiana were fired Monday for a social media post suggesting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) should be shot.

Charlie Rispoli, a now-former officer of Gretna City Police Department, wrote on Facebook that Ocasio-Cortez “needs a round” and not “the kind she used to serve.” Accompanying his comments was a false story which included a fabricated quote attributed to the New York Democrat that read: “We pay soldiers too much,” according to NOLA.com. The New Orleans news site reports that Angelo Varisco, who was also fired from the Gretna police force, “liked” the post.

“This incident, we feel, has been an embarrassment to our department,” Gretna police chief Arthur Lawson said in a Monday press conference. “These officers have certainly acted in a manner which was unprofessional, alluding to a violent act be conducted against a sitting U.S. [Congresswoman], a member of our government, we are not going to tolerate that.” . . .

According to NOLA.com, Rispoli wrote the post about Ocasio-Cortez on his Facebook page Thursday, and the police department was made aware of it the following evening. Rispoli was placed on administrative leave without pay hours before Lawson notified the media of the pair’s firing. . .

Calls for President Donald Trump’s assassination have been a fixture since the real-estate tycoon announced his bid for the White House in June 2015. Hollywood stars such as Johnny Depp and Madonna, as well as Broadway legend Carole Cook, have mused about the president being killed.

50 Miles of Trump’s Border Wall Has Been Completed

/0 Comments/in , /by

The border crisis still hasn’t been resolved. The Department of Homeland Security needs for funds to deal with the overcrowding at the detention centers; border apprehensions have hit 100,000 or more over the past few months. It’s a crisis that was wholly avoidable if both parties actually agreed on enforcing immigration laws. The impact of the overcrowding also could have been lessened if the Democrats didn’t think this was a manufactured crisis. With the loss of the House to Democrats during the 2018 midterms, any hope for full wall funding or changing of the asylum laws is dead. Trump re-appropriated DoD for portions of the wall, which drove Democrat ballistic. They filed a lawsuit to block the funds, but a judge rejected it. Now, some 50 miles of the wall was announced to be completed by DHS:

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has completed construction of approximately 50 miles of new bollard wall projects authorized by funding from fiscal years 2017 and 2018.

Since January 2017, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have received funding to support construction of up to approximately 201-205 miles of new border barriers through a combination of appropriations and the Treasury Forfeiture Fund (TFF). This funding is supporting the top border barrier priorities for the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP).

Not Backing Down: President Trump Has a New Description of the Socialist Squad

/0 Comments/in , /by

After spending the weekend in New Jersey at his club in Bedminster, President Trump is back at the White House and his feud with “the squad” isn’t over.

On Fox News Sunday, Senior White House Advisor Stephen Miller backed up the President’s statements.

“I think the term ‘racist,’ Chris, has become a label that is too often deployed by the left, Democrats in this country simply to try to silence and punish and suppress people they disagree with, speech that they don’t want to hear,” Miller said. “The reality is that this president has been a president for all Americans, whether you look at historically low black unemployment rates, historically low Hispanic unemployment rates, or if you look at what he’s doing on immigration to protect safety, security, rising wages for all American citizens.”
