China: ‘Radical’ Trump Administration Building ‘New Iron Curtain’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump’s administration is a “radical” group bent on provoking “a second Cold War” with Beijing, a senior Chinese diplomat argued while attempting to woo European powers.

“In modern history, the progress of human civilization has been halted several times by radical forces,” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the French Institute of International Relations in Paris. “What we are seeing now is that some are again maneuvering to draw a new Iron Curtain, erect another Berlin Wall, and start a second Cold War. The China-U.S. relationship is in its most testing time since the establishment of diplomatic relations.”

The Chinese envoy offered that denunciation to cap a week of overtures to European nations, a diplomatic swing that came on the heels of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s most recent round of warnings about the threats posed by Chinese espionage and economic influence. Wang called attention to disputes between U.S. and European officials, especially around climate change policy and the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, while urging the French audience to overlook the Chinese Communist Party’s authoritarian nature.

“Despite the difference in social systems, China and the EU are meant to be comprehensive strategic partners, not systemic rivals,” he said, referring to the European Union’s landmark 2019 warning about China.

Trump: Plane ‘Loaded With Thugs’ Under Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump said a group of “thugs” in “dark uniforms” who traveled on a plane to Washington, D.C., is under investigation.

During an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham that aired Monday night, the president said “somebody” got on a plane and made a trip to the Republican National Convention last week. While convention meetings took place in Charlotte, North Carolina, Trump and his wife, first lady Melania Trump, delivered speeches at the White House during the virtual prime time portion of the event.

Trump said that “like seven people” were on the plane who intended “to do big damage,” but it was unclear if the original “somebody” was one of them.

“We had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend, and in the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs, wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms, with gear and this and that. They’re on a plane,” Trump told the host.

He also said the matter is “under investigation” and couldn’t talk about it further. “I’ll tell you sometime,” he told Ingraham when she pressed for more details. (Read more from “Trump: Plane ‘Loaded With Thugs’ Under Investigation” HERE)

Kyle Rittenhouse Lawyers Claim Self-Defense

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Lawyers for Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who allegedly shot three and killed two people during a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, this week, issued a lengthy statement Friday evening after delaying his extradition from Illinois to face trial for murder.

“Kyle did nothing wrong,” attorney John Pierce of Pierce Bainbridge wrote. “He exercised his God-given, Constitutional, common law and statutory law right to self-defense.”

Rittenhouse was charged Thursday with six criminal counts — including two counts of first-degree murder. One of the two charges carries a potential sentence of life imprisonment. . .

In the first case, a man had allegedly pursued him, thrown an object at him, and attempted to seize his weapon. In the second case, several people had allegedly chased him; one had allegedly struck him with a skateboard; and another had allegedly approached him with a firearm.

Later, Pierce wrote, Rittenhouse was “accosted by multiple rioters who recognized that he had been attempting to protect a business the mob wanted to destroy.” That, he said, led to the violent confrontations that followed. (Read more from “Kyle Rittenhouse Lawyers Claim Self-Defense” HERE)

What We Know About CNN Host Chris Cuomo’s ‘Shocking’ Conversation With Michael Cohen

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Fox News host Tucker Carlson told his audience on Friday that next week he intends to share details of a conversation that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen secretly tape-recorded with CNN’s Chris Cuomo.

This tape is one of many that have been “floating around” for some time but have never aired publicly, Carlson said before noting with a chortle that Cuomo, who is the brother of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was captured on at least one of them.

“Cohen and the governor’s brother had a pretty shocking conversation. Bottom line, Chris Cuomo is not the person he pretends to be on CNN. And there is more. This is a developing story. We’ll have all of it for you next week. Tune in,” Carlson said as video played of Cuomo lifting weights at a gym.

Although the tape has yet to leak publicly, Cuomo was pressed to talk about it in the summer of 2018 after the FBI seized materials from Cohen, who later that year pleaded guilty to charges of tax fraud, bank fraud, and campaign finance violations for hush-money payments to two women during the 2016 campaign who claimed to have had affairs with President Trump. Trump has denied those relationships.

On July 24, Cuomo played on his show, Cuomo Prime Time, a recorded conversation between Trump and Cohen about buying the rights to former Playboy model Karen McDougal’s story about her alleged affair with Trump.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .The Farmers’ Almanac recently released its extended forecast for the 2020-2021 season, which shows this upcoming winter could be brutally cold and snowy for much of the country.

“Based on our time-tested weather formula, the forecast for the upcoming winter looks a lot different from last year, quite divided with some very intense cold snaps and snowfall,” editor Peter Geiger said in a statement.

According to the forecast, those who live in the northern half of the country should get ready for extended bouts of cold.

Long-range forecasts from the periodical are calling for normal to below-normal temperatures in areas from the Great Lakes and Midwest stretching westward over the Northern and Central Plains and into the Rockies.

Areas around the Great Lakes are also expected to see a “fair share of snow,” but above-normal snowfall is also expected farther west from the western Dakotas into northern portions of Colorado and Utah, as well as Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and central and eastern sections of Washington and Oregon.

WATCH: Barista Creates a Poisonous ‘Blue Lives Matter’ Drink for Law Enforcement

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Barista that works at a Starbucks inside a Target in Indianapolis posted a TikTok video of a poisonous concoction he created for law enforcement officers. The Starbucks cup has the words “Blue Lives Matter” written on the side of the cup. The recipe includes more than a cup of bleach.

According to The Police Tribune, the video – which has since been deleted – had a caption on the video that said “All I want for Christmas is more dead cops.”

The Barista, identified as Van Greyson Hart, went through a step-by-step process to make the so-called drink.

“Hi guys, I updated my recipe for the Blue Lives Matter drinks,” the voice behind the camera said.

“First we’re gonna start with bleach, all the way to the third line,” he said, pouring bleach into the Starbucks cup. “Then we’re gonna add ice because, you know, cops love ice.” (Read more from “WATCH: Barista Creates a Poisonous ‘Blue Lives Matter’ Drink for Law Enforcement” HERE)

Black Professor: ‘They Have Deputized All White People to Murder Us’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A University of North Carolina professor posted a tweet Sunday accusing Republicans of “deputiz[ing] all white people” to murder black Americans. After coming under scrutiny on social media for this outlandish and frightening falsehood, the professor mocked commenters and defended her statement. Her initial tweet has garnered nearly 8,000 likes.

Tressie McMillan Cottom, an associate professor at UNC, expressed outrage after Sen. Ron Johnson expressed support for “citizen soldiers.” The tweet she responded to stated, “Sen. Ron Johnson just said he supports ‘citizen soldiers’ in Kenosha. Kyle Rittenhouse, who murdered 2 people, is a citizen soldier. #CNNSOTU.” In a reply, Cottom said, “They have deputized all white people to murder us.”

Cottom then doubled down on her stance, saying “oh the racists are big mad about this one, I see,” in reference to her earlier tweet.

Cottoms describes herself on her website as supporting “radically progressive local candidates for public office, community bail funds, and removing memorials to oppressive racist fictions.”

Biden Praised for Copying Pence’s RNC Remarks on Violent Riots

/1 Comment/in , /by

With polls showing that Democrats’ embrace of violent protest movements is hurting them politically, Joe Biden was pressured into condemning some of the violence gripping cities across the country.

And when he did, his supporters in the media praised him for it, even though he was just copying what Vice President Mike Pence had said days earlier at the Republican National Convention. . .

What was amazing was that Biden merely restated what Pence had said days earlier, without pressure.

In his speech at Ft. McHenry August 26, Pence said:

President Trump and I will always support the right of Americans to peaceful protest, but rioting and looting is not peaceful protest; tearing down statues is not free speech. And those who do so will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Pharmacy Workers Told Not to Call Patients About Medication Handled by Sick Employees

/0 Comments/in , /by

CVS Health clarified its policy on Monday after one of the company’s district leaders in Georgia allegedly instructed local pharmacy employees not to notify customers whose prescriptions had been filled by someone who tested positive for COVID-19.

In a leaked email provided by a CVS pharmacy technician in Georgia, a district leader told workers to remove prescriptions that had been filled by an employee who tested positive from shelves, Business Insider reported. Workers were apparently told not to call customers who had already picked up the affected prescriptions.

CVS Health spokesman Michael DeAngelis said the instructions dictating when or when not to contact customers did not originate from the company’s corporate office and was not indicative of a company-wide policy. He confirmed CVS policy calls for employees to quarantine and replace any medication handled by someone who has tested positive for coronavirus.

“It is not our policy to prohibit our pharmacies from informing patients if their prescription was filled when an employee who tested positive for COVID-19 worked in the pharmacy,” the CVS spokesman said.

Scandal-Ridden WHO ‘Listening in’ on Online Conversations to Counter ‘Fake COVID-19 News’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The scandal-plagued World Health Organization (WHO) is working with an analytics company to “social listen” and monitor “millions” of people’s social media accounts to combat “coronavirus misinformation.”

According to an August 25 WHO news post titled “Immunizing the public against misinformation,” the WHO, which is the health arm of the United Nations, claims there is “an overabundance of information and the rapid spread of misleading or fabricated news, images, and videos” regarding the coronavirus.

“We’re not just battling the virus,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was quoted as saying in the news release. “We’re also battling the trolls and conspiracy theorists that push misinformation and undermine the outbreak response.” . . .

The WHO held its first “Infodemiology Conference” in June and July, at which they called for the “adaptation, development, validation and evaluation of new evidence-based measures and practices to prevent, detect and respond to mis- and disinformation.”

According to the WHO in February, well before most nations even began locking down due to the coronavirus, they met at Facebook’s headquarters “about how to promote accurate health information about COVID-19.” (Read more from “Scandal-Ridden WHO ‘Listening in’ on Online Conversations to Counter ‘Fake COVID-19 News’” HERE)
