President Trump on Mail-In Ballots: It’s Going to Be a Rigged Election’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Washington Examiner. President Trump once again made his opposition to mass mail-in voting clear, saying involuntary absentee ballots will lead to a “rigged election.” . . .

Trump, who has previously incorrectly stated mail-in voting will lead to fraud, also said it will make it easier for foreign interference after U.S. intelligence assessed China, Russia, and Iran are targeting the upcoming election.

“This whole thing with this mail-in ballot, that’s a rigged election waiting to happen,” Trump said Tuesday on Fox News’s Hannity. “It’s rigged, and everyone knows it. Because you can’t send out 16 million mail-in ballots to everybody, who knows who’s getting them. The mailmen are going to get them, and people are going to just grab batches of them, and you talk about China and Russia, they’ll be grabbing plenty of them. It’s a disaster.” (Read more from “President Trump on Mail-In Ballots: It’s Going to Be a Rigged Election'” HERE)

Cal Thomas: Trump on Voting by Mail — President Is Right for These Reasons

By Fox News. . .Two weeks ago, I mailed an 8-by-10-inch envelope from a Miami post office to an address in New York State. The postage was correct, as was the address and ZIP code.

One week passed and the recipient emailed to say the envelope had not arrived, so I mailed another one. Last week, he wrote to say that the second one had arrived. A few days after that he wrote again to say the one mailed earlier had finally been delivered after a 10-day delay. Normally, a first-class mailing would not have taken more than three business days.

Multiply my experience by the 100 million that could be expected from an all-mail-in election and the problem should be obvious.

President Trump has said the potential for fraud with all mail-in voting is enormous. While he has said absentee ballots are safer, The New York Daily News reported “Systematic failures at the state Board of Elections and U.S. Postal Service resulted in nearly one in 10 absentee ballots cast in the June 23 primary being invalidated.” That comes out to 84,000 out of nearly 319,000 ballots cast.

Many Democrats claim the fear over mail-in ballots is misplaced, but the evidence proves otherwise and in close elections, especially presidential elections, a few votes either way in key states can decide the winner.

Black Man Charged With Shooting and Killing 5-Year-Old White Boy

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Wilson, North Carolina man was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly approached a 5-year-old who was playing outside and shot the child in the head.

Darius Sessoms, 25, was apprehended and charged with first degree murder in connection with his alleged role in ending the life of the toddler, according to WRAL. The 25-year-old ran up to Cannon Hinnant, 5, and shot him in the head in front of his two sisters, aged 8 and 9, while they played outside of their home, witnesses told the local outlet.

“My first reaction was he’s playing with the kids,” Doris Lybrand, who watched the shooting, told WRAL. “For a second, I thought, ‘That couldn’t happen.’ People don’t run across the street and kill kids.”

The 5-year-old was pronounced dead at a local hospital, according to the outlet. Sessoms is reportedly Cannon’s neighbor and residents claim the accused man had dinner with the boy’s father on Saturday and was seen at the family home on Sunday, WRAL reported.

Police have yet to release a motive for the alleged killing, but insist the murder was not random, according to WRAL. (Read more from “Black Man Charged With Shooting and Killing 5-Year-Old White Boy” HERE)

Unnerving: ‘Occupy’ Radicals Now Plan ‘White House Siege’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The activist group behind the Occupy Wall Street protest nine years ago, Adbusters, is planning a 50-day “White House Siege” next month.

“Drawing wind from #MeToo, #BLM, #ExtinctionRebellion and protests against Trump’s lethal bungling of coronavirus, we’ll inspire a global movement of systemic change — a Global Spring — a cultural heave towards a new world order, the activists say in a “Tactical Briefing” posted by Adbusters magazine.

The Adbusters Media Foundation is a Canadian-based anti-capitalist, enviromentalist group founded in 1989. Adbusters prompted the “occupation” of Wall Street in 2011 saying that had “one simple demand — a presidential commission to separate money from politics” that would “start setting the agenda for a new America.”

The activists say the launch date of the “seige,” Sept. 17, is the Occupy anniversary, making it “the perfect day to trigger another global big-bang moment — a massive collective action of the sweetest kind of disobedience.”

They complain that in the nine years since Occupy Wall Street — more than five of which were under Democratic President Barack Obama — “the shadows have only grown longer.” (Read more from “Unnerving: ‘Occupy’ Radicals Now Plan ‘White House Siege'” HERE)

Flynn and DOJ Argue Judge Appears ‘Biased’ in Bid Before Appeals Court to Get Case Quickly Dismissed

/0 Comments/in , /by

In their latest bid to end a protracted legal fight immediately, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s lawyer and the Justice Department argued on Tuesday that the presiding judge in the former Trump national security adviser’s case had the appearance of bias.

Sidney Powell, the former federal prosecutor who took over Flynn’s legal defense last year, and acting Solicitor General Jeff Wall, representing the Justice Department in court following its move to toss the false statements charge against Flynn, clashed with Judge Emmet Sullivan’s attorney, Beth Wilkinson, during a four-hour hearing before 10 skeptical judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

Powell and Wall argued that Sullivan appeared biased against Flynn, including through his appointment of retired New York Judge John Gleeson as amicus, his resistance to drop the case, and his alleged violation of separation of powers, and said the en banc appeals court should agree with the three-judge appeals panel ruling from June that ordered the Bill Clinton appointee to drop the case. Sullivan, who had asked for a rehearing from the entire appeals court, and Wilkinson said Tuesday that Sullivan should be allowed to hold a hearing on the DOJ’s motion to dismiss, saying fears about intrusive questions were speculative.

The lengthy questioning from many of the judges indicated they might disagree with the 2-1 June decision from their colleagues, which has been vacated, and would allow Sullivan to hold a dismissal hearing. If the appeals court doesn’t force Sullivan to drop the case, the politically charged legal fight threatens to extend up to and past the Nov. 3 election.

Democrat Calls for Treating Non-Mask-Wearers as Murderers, While Actual Murderers Are Released From Jail

/1 Comment/in , /by

I pine for a day when we will make Orwell fiction again. What we are seeing today with the COVID cult in this county is not just a disagreement over science and the role of government, but over basic morality. Democrats now believe that a man breathing free air without a mask is tantamount to murder, yet they are using the same virus as a pretext to release real murderers throughout the country. Breathing is now murder and murder is an act of grace?

During an August 5 committee hearing of the Nashville Metro Council, Councilwoman Sharon Hurt compared those who decline to wear masks to attempted murderers and suggested legislation treating them on that level.

So COVID-19 poses such a threat to human life that we must ban uncovered human lungs as murder, but because these very same leftists are concerned their chosen criminals will catch the virus, they are released. Here are a couple of stories you might have missed from the national news that demonstrate how far they are willing to go:

26-year-old Justin Wilson of Montgomery County, Maryland, was released from jail in April after being charged with theft and other crimes. According to Fox 5, he was released due to coronavirus concerns. On July 29, he was arrested and charged with murdering 63-year-old Edigio Ienzi six days earlier in front of his 16-year-old daughter. I checked Montgomery County court records and found dozens of criminal charges – from drugs and theft to assault and armed robbery – dating back to 2012. Once again, we see prior records don’t matter when it comes to jailbreak. In this case, the victim’s relative alleges that Wilson also stole coins from the house of the victim. Isn’t it interesting how those with a record of theft and assault tend to return to those crimes upon release? Remember, Montgomery County is the jurisdiction that is so concerned about human life that it tried to shut down private schools due to coronavirus, while criminals are released to commit murder. Then again, most career robbers like Wilson wear masks, so all is good under today’s redefinition of murder.

Last October, Ibrahim E. Bouaichi was indicted on charges of rape, sodomy, strangulation, abduction, burglary, and malicious wounding after he was accused of brutally raping Karla Dominguez in Alexandria, Virginia. His lawyers argued in April that he was at risk for contracting the virus in the Alexandria jail, so Circuit Court Judge Nolan Dawkins released him on just $25,000 bond on condition that he remain in his home in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Well, house arrest seems to deter only law-abiding business owners from opening their businesses during COVID, not violent criminals from repeating their offenses. On July 29, he allegedly returned to the victim’s home and killed her. He then shot himself to death following a police chase. The intimidation of victims and witnesses is a known problem of jailbreak and makes it harder to eventually get a conviction. To those who don’t believe in prison (except for those who don’t wear masks), that is a feature, not a bug.

In between the Maryland and Virginia corona jailbreak murder cases is a tragic case out of D.C. that resulted in the death of an 11-year-old. Christian Wingfield, one of the accused gunmen in the drive-by shooting at a July 4 neighborhood cookout that left 11-year-old Davon McNeal dead, was released from jail on May 22, despite a criminal record with gun felonies.

Recently, the New York Post reported that among the hundreds of homeless criminals paroled by the city and placed near an upper west side elementary school were six pedophiles.

The L.A. Times reports that California is releasing people serving time for murder, and jailbreak groups are pushing for more. Fox News reports that California has reduced the incarcerated population by 18,000 since March and is planning to release another 17,600.

Here’s the scariest thing about all these releases. With over 100,000 criminals released just from coronavirus jailbreak alone (aside from all the other new lenient policies and early release programs), there is no federal or state policy in place to track recidivism. One can only imagine how much of the increased crime in the majority of America’s largest 50 cities is committed by these repeat offenders who have been released under the guise of saving the lives of criminals, not victims. In New York alone, there have been 1,000 gun victims this year as of August, nearly equivalent to the total victims over that period in 2018 and 2019 combined.

We were promised these would be low-level criminals. But now we know that to these politicians, even murder, rape, and robbery are low-level crimes that are eligible for parole. The only high-level crime is not covering your lungs in public or opening up your business. Orwell is no longer fiction.

WATCH: Cops Handcuff Female Protester, Get Asked If Female Cop Is There for Pat-Down. Male Officer Quips, ‘How Do You Know That I Don’t Identify as a Female?’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Portland police have endured literally months of nightly rioting that left-wing politicians and reporters routinely brushed off as “mostly peaceful protests.” They’ve been getting pelted with rocks, explosives, and other projectiles. . .

Early Sunday morning before the sun rose, a freelance journalist noticed Portland’s finest had handcuffed a female protester.

Video was running as the obligatory pat-down commenced, and the journalist — also a woman — grew suspicious as it apparently looked as though only male officers were on hand.

“Do you have a female officer present while you’re patting her down?” the journalist asked. . .

Then at that moment, a different officer chimed in with a comeback for the ages amid the rioting: “How do you know that I don’t identify as a female?” (Read more from “Cops Handcuff Female Protester, Get Asked If Female Cop Is There for Pat-Down.

WATCH: New Evidence Supports Allegations of Ilhan Omar’s ‘Extensive Spree’ of Felonies

/2 Comments/in , /by

Once again, the media has failed to carry out even the most cursory investigation when it comes to allegations against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). But investigative journalist David Steinberg has been piecing together “32 new, verifiable, archived pieces of evidence” that indicate Omar conducted the “most extensive spree of state and federal felonies by an elected congressperson in U.S. history.” . . .

“It’s over,” Steinberg told Glenn. “There’s really nothing left. It’s all … the publicly available documentation that anyone would need to be convinced that, for eight years, [Omar] married her brother to commit immigration fraud. And this marriage fraud also was in the service of education fraud/student loan fraud. And along the line, we have evidence, that she filed at least two years of fraudulent tax returns, possibly eight [years]. We have evidence that she perjured herself eight times during her 2017 divorce from this man. And along the way, of course, we know she was living in public housing. We also know she was likely receiving subsidized child care.

Trump Says He Would ‘Absolutely’ Fill a Supreme Court Vacancy Before November

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump indicated that he would fill a potential vacancy on the Supreme Court ahead of the election in November, as rumors of a potential retirement loom. In an interview with Hugh Hewitt, Trump said he would nominate a jurist to fill the seat quickly:

The prospect of filling a Supreme Court seat ahead of November sparks controversy on Capitol Hill, as Democrats warn Republicans of adhering to their own standard set in 2016. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) famously declined to hold hearings for President Obama’s final nominee, Judge Merrick Garland. Hedging his bets on a GOP sweep in November of 2016, Leader McConnell argued that a justice should not be confirmed to the high court amidst divided government.

Media Play up Trump Health Policy Tensions, Ignore Resignations in New York, California

/0 Comments/in , /by

While corporate media continues to criticize President Trump and his administration’s handling of COVID-19, they have paid little attention to other significant shifts in COVID-19 policy on a local and state level, including the resignations of health officials over coronavirus management in both New York and California.

Since the beginning of August, corporate media gave Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and President Trump’s critiques of coronavirus task force leader Deborah Birx lots of air time in the New York Times and other major outlets. . .

Early last week, Dr. Oxiris Barbot stepped down as New York City’s health commissioner, claiming that her and others’ expertise was not valued or used to its full extent by Mayor Bill de Blasio.

“I leave my post today with deep disappointment that during the most critical public health crisis in our lifetime, that the Health Department’s incomparable disease control expertise was not used to the degree that it could have been,” Barbot wrote in her resignation letter. “Our experts are world renowned for their epidemiology, surveillance and response work. The city would be well served by having them at the strategic center of the response, not in the background.” . . .

On Sunday, the director of the California Department of Public Health resigned from her position over email in the wake of what state officials say was a computer error causing an undercount in coronavirus cases.

Woman Claims Family Was Kicked off Flight Because Autistic Son Was Unable to Wear Mask

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Texas mother says her family was refused service on a recent Southwest Airlines flight because her 3-year-old son with autism would not wear a face mask.

Alyssa Sadler planned to fly from Midland to Houston with her son and daughter, 1, on Monday when the alleged incident occurred, Click2Houston reports.

The flight initially left the gate, Sadler said, but soon returned after a crew member noticed that the boy would not keep the mask on. . .

“They’re going over the security safety features and all that, and the flight attendant walks by and tells me that he has to put a mask on,” she continued to KTRK. “So, I try to put the mask on him. He is 3 and has autism and sensory processing disorders, so he wouldn’t keep the mask on.” . . .

Sadler said the captain announced the reason for the early return over the loudspeaker, telling the plane that a noncompliant passenger refused to wear a facial covering. From there, Sadler said an escort helped remove her family’s luggage and that airline officials later wrote up her son for noncompliance to the carrier’s policy.
