Former NBA Player Fined for Not Looking at Chinese Flag During Anthem in China

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former NBA player Guerschon Yabusele has been fined for bowing his head and not looking at the Chinese flag during the national anthem before a game on Dec. 6.

Yabusele, who plays for the Chinese Basketball Association’s (CBA) Nanjing Monkey Kings, was fined 10,000 yuan ($1,422) by the basketball association, CNN reported.

“I have the same routine, I’ve been doing this my whole career and I wanted to apologize for the people that took it Personnal [sic] because it was not my point,” Yabusele told TMZ Sports. “I will show my respect during the Chinese national anthem and keep my head up for now on, Love you guys.”

The former Boston Celtics was born in France and had a brief career in the NBA from 2016 to 2019. He was waived by the team this year, after which he joined his current team in China.

The fine comes amid controversy of forcing NBA players to have to stand for the Communist flag when they play their games in the country, which the NBA desperately wants. In order for that to happen, players cannot protest the Chinese government in any way. (Read more from “Former NBA Player Fined for Not Looking at Chinese Flag During Anthem in China” HERE)

Singer Taylor Swift Calls out George Soros in Award Speech

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Pop singer Taylor Swift called out billionaire investor George Soros in a Thursday speech, saying the Democratic megadonor and his family bankrolled the exploitation of her music.

Swift’s attack came amid a public feud with music executive Scooter Braun. She said Soros’s financial backing of Braun’s purchase of the rights to her music catalog “enabled” Braun to mistreat her. Braun has cited those rights to block Swift from performing her own songs.

“The fact is that private equity enabled this man to think, according to his own social media post, that he could ‘buy me.’ But I’m obviously not going willingly,” Swift said while accepting the Woman of the Decade award at Billboard’s “Women in Music” event.

“After I was denied the chance to purchase my music outright, my entire catalog was sold to Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings in a deal that I’m told was funded by the Soros family, 23 Capital, and the Carlyle Group,” Swift said.

“Yet to this day, none of these investors have bothered to contact me or my team directly to perform their due diligence on their investment, on their investment in me. To ask how I might feel about the new owner of my art, the music I wrote, the videos I created, photos of me, my handwriting, my album designs,” she continued.

Bernie Takes Back Endorsement of Candidate Who Wanted to Legalize Bestiality

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders retracted his endorsement of Democratic congressional candidate Cenk Uygur just one day after announcing it.

Uygur, founder of the left-wing media outlet “The Young Turks,” has come under fire for past comments, including one where he said certain kinds of bestiality should be legal. Despite this and multiple videos showing crude comments about women, the Vermont senator endorsed the congressional candidate Thursday.

“As I said yesterday, Cenk has been a longtime fighter against the corrupt forces in our politics and he’s inspired people all across the country,” Sanders said in a statement announcing his retraction Friday. . .

Videos posted by M. Mendoza Ferrer on Twitter in November show Uygur making inappropriate remarks about women. He discussed a rating system for women, adding in what “score” the woman would have to be for her to “suck your dick.” Another video from 2013 shows Uygur discussing bestiality and talking about how “hot” women from the Dominican are.

“Here comes the controversial part I shouldn’t say,” Uygur said, according to one of the videos. “I believe that if I were the benevolent dictator of the world, I would legalize bestiality where you are giving, you are pleasuring the animal.” (Read more from “Bernie Takes Back Endorsement of Candidate Who Wanted to Legalize Bestiality” HERE)

More Than a Million People Sign Petition Bashing Netflix Movie Implying Jesus Christ Is Gay

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than one million people have signed a petition against a Netflix movie that implies Jesus Christ is gay.

“The First Temptation of Christ” is reportedly a satirical representation of Jesus Christ, his mother Mary, and his father Joseph, in which Jesus returns home for his birthday party with a friend named Orlando, according to the New York Daily News. The publication reports that Orlando continuously hints in the film that he and Jesus are more than friends. . .

The comedy group Porta dos Fundos (which translates to Back Door) created “The First Temptation of Christ” following their International Emmy Award-winning production of “The Last Hangover,” a movie which satirizes the biblical Last Supper, the last meal Jesus Christ shared with his disciples before he was crucified.

As of Friday afternoon, more than 1.4 million people had signed a Change.org petition demanding that the film be removed from Netflix and saying that the film “seriously offended Christians.” (Read more from “More Than a Million People Sign Petition Bashing Netflix Movie Implying Jesus Christ Is Gay” HERE)

Supercut of Media Declaring Discredited Steele Dossier Is Legitimate (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The release of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on alleged misconduct by the FBI in its investigation of the Trump campaign in 2016 shredded any hint of legitimacy of the infamous Democrat-funded anti-Trump dossier compiled by Christopher Steele. The extensive IG report’s utter dismantling of any claims to the legitimacy of the dossier has given previous mainstream media coverage of the “dirty” document some rather devastating context.

The Steele Dossier, Horowitz’ investigation found, played a “central and essential role” in the FBI’s decision to surveil the Trump campaign. “We determined that the Crossfire Hurricane team’s receipt of Steele’s election reporting on September 19, 2016 played a central and essential role in the FBI’s and Department’s decision to seek the FISA order” targeting Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, reads the report.

Though it played a pivotal role in the decision to move forward with the surveillance of the Trump campaign, the dossier — created by oppo research firm Fusion GPS and funded by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign — was viewed by the CIA as based on “internet rumor” and was largely discredited by intelligence officials by the time it was used to help begin the surveillance of the Trump campaign, Horowitz explains. . .

Initially, mainstream outlets repeatedly assured their viewers that substantive details in the dossier had been “corroborated,” a claim that Horowitz made clear is false. When more and more claims in the Democrat-funded dossier were discredited, the media shifted to asserting that it hasn’t been “conclusively disproven.”

Scandal Reopens? Court Papers on Democrat IT Aide Make New Revelation

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice said this month that it could not release records on Democrat technology aide Imran Awan due to “technical difficulties,” but later admitted in court documents that it could not release records on him because there is a secret ongoing case related to the matter.

“Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit Nov. 7, 2018, for 7,000 pages of Capitol Police records related to the cybersecurity investigation, and Aug. 2, the DOJ agreed to begin producing records by Nov. 5,” Daily Caller News Foundation investigative reporter Luke Rosiak reported. “That deadline came and went with no records being produced; on a Nov. 13 phone call, the DOJ said ‘technical difficulties’ had resulted in a delay, Judicial Watch stated in a court filing.” . . .

The DCNF noted that the DOJ had said it closed the investigation into Awan in 2018 in which Awan entered a plea deal where he pleaded guilty to one count of bank fraud.

After the DOJ closed the case, President Donald Trump weighed in on the matter, tweeting, “Our Justice Department must not let Awan & Debbie Wasserman Schultz off the hook. The Democrat I.T. scandal is a key to much of the corruption we see today. They want to make a ‘plea deal’ to hide what is on their Server. Where is Server? Really bad!”

U.S. Attorney Benton Peterson told U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta, who is presiding over the FOIA lawsuit that was filed by Judicial Watch, that DOJ was set to release a “cache of documents,” but that he was informed of a “sealing order” in the case and that he “couldn’t discuss the sealing order.” (Read more from “Scandal Reopens?

Every Qualifying Dem Candidate Threatens to Boycott Debate

/0 Comments/in , /by

Every Democratic presidential candidate who has met the threshold for participating in next week’s primary debate has threatened to skip the event, after it came to light that the venue owner is currently in a labor dispute with its food workers’ union. . .

The debate is scheduled to take place next Thursday at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, but the union representing the school’s food service workers announced Friday that contract negotiations with the university broke down.

“Now the leading contenders for the Democratic nomination will be greeted with picket lines at their replacement venue,” the union threatened, after noting that the debate had already been moved from a prior location due to a separate labor dispute.

Each of the seven qualifying candidates reacted by promising not to cross the picket line. Former Vice President Joe Biden, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, businessman Andrew Yang, billionaire Tom Steyer, and Sens. Amy Klobuchar (Minn.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.). all voiced their support of the union and promised not to enter the venue if the workers’ protest was still ongoing.

Terrorists Who Shot up Kosher Market Intended to Attack Jewish School for Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop said Friday that he believes the two suspects behind the Tuesday attack at a Jewish kosher market intended to target children at a Jewish school attached to the market. . .

The attack reportedly carried out by David Anderson and Francine Graham — who were both allegedly affiliated with the Black Hebrew Israelite movement — took the lives of at least six people, including a police officer and both suspects. . .

“It is pretty apparent that he goes to the adjacent door first and then turns,” Fulop said. “Secondly, it is pretty apparent from the amount of firepower and weapons he brought to that location. Clearly he had intentions of doing more damage than just murdering three people in a deli.”

Fulop promised the public that he would be forthcoming to the public with regard to any information about the attack.

“We will never know with 100 percent certainty as they are deceased, but based on those facts, it is pretty easy to conclude,” Fulop said.

California’s Ammo Background Checks Are Blocking Legal Gun Owners from Purchase

/0 Comments/in , /by

California’s new background check requirements for ammunition purchases appear to be stopping far more legal gun owners than prohibited purchasers, according to the Sacramento Bee.

The Bee reported Wednesday that numbers from the state’s Department of Justice show that nearly 1 in 5 attempted ammunition purchases were rejected by state authorities between July 1 and November.

California’s ammo background check law went into effect at the beginning of July. The California Department of Justice administers the program, which cost buyers an extra $1 on top of the cost of their purchase and requires store clerks to check purchaser information against two different databases. The measure was passed by a California voters in 2016 as Proposition 63. The California Department of Justice lists the requirements for ammunition purchase eligibility on its website.

In total, more than 345,000 ammunition background checks were performed in the July-November time frame, according to the figures, but only 101 of those checks flagged someone legally prohibited from buying ammunition. Outside of those prohibited purchasers, there were another 62,000 purchasers who were turned away because the information on their I.D. cards didn’t match what was in the state’s system or hadn’t been entered into it.

One of those rejected purchasers was Sutter County Sheriff’s Deputy Zachary Berg, who was barred from buying shotgun shells at hardware store ahead of a hunting trip last month because his information didn’t match what was on the state database.

Accused Cop Killer Who Bragged About Prior Releases From Jail Offered Bail AGAIN

/0 Comments/in , /by

Who says crime doesn’t pay? Tavores Dewayne Henderson, who is accused of killing a female Houston police officer earlier this week, clearly felt no deterrent against committing crimes, as he previously bragged about the ease with which he posted bail. That sentiment was validated last night when a Harris County judge offered him bail, even after being charged with murdering a cop.

Sgt. Kaila Sullivan, 43, was attempting to arrest Henderson Tuesday night on a domestic assault warrant when he broke free, went back into his vehicle and allegedly ran her over, killing her. He was a fugitive until police found him on Thursday.

Sullivan’s murder, like most murders in this country, could have been prevented had Henderson been properly punished and deterred from his past crimes. Yet he barely served a day in jail, and he bragged about it.

According to court records, Henderson was charged with theft in Galveston County and with fleeing from police in Montgomery County. Then, in February, he was charged with domestic violence in Harris County after a woman accused him of pointing a gun at her head and then choking her. He never served time in jail and was out free pending disposition of those cases. Henderson was previously arrested on weapons and drug offenses in Fort Bend County in 2016, but never served a day because he was a juvenile.

Henderson was so proud of his jailbreak that after he bonded out of Harris County jail earlier this year, he posted a video on Instagram showing off his bail. “Y’all thought the kid wasn’t coming home. Over three counties … over three (expletive) bonds … over three cases,” he said as he showed the cash on camera, according to KHOU.

Well, guess what? Even after Henderson was caught on Thursday and charged with a homicide that should never have happened, a Harris County judge offered him bail! Harris County magistrate Colin Amann offered Henderson $150,000 bond, which means he could likely be released after coming up with 10 percent of that sum. This is a capital murder case of a police officer, which almost always results in the suspect being held without bond or at least on $2 million bond. I’ve never seen anything like this before, especially from a repeat offender who has already skipped court dates.

Joe Gamaldi, president of the Houston Police Officers’ Union, wan irate and took to twitter to call on the judge to resign.

The sad thing is that the bipartisan consensus from the two liberal political parties is that not enough people are let out of jail and that the system is somehow too tough on criminals. Harris County is on its way to abolishing bail just like New York did.

Sullivan was the second Houston police officer murdered by a repeat offender let out of prison in just a few days. On Saturday, Houston Police Sgt. Christopher Brewster was responding to a domestic violence call when Arturo Solis, 25, allegedly shot him in cold blood. The police chief, Art Acevedo, who is a tool for the liberal political leadership of Houston, blamed the incident on guns and the NRA. But this case, like almost every other murder, is really about criminal control, not gun control.
