Liberal Women’s Groups Slam Amy Coney Barrett, Claim She Will ‘Turn Back the Clock on Equality’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Liberal women’s groups and Planned Parenthood are pulling no punches when going after President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett.

The National Organization for Women, which is connected to a PAC that endorsed the Biden-Harris ticket, said Barrett “will turn back the clock on equality.”

“Donald Trump and the Senate Republicans want to steal another seat on the Supreme Court so that Amy Coney Barrett can help repeal Roe [v. Wade] and shred the Affordable Care Act – but not before she votes with a new, ultra-conservative majority to validate an election he intends to steal,” the National Organization for Women said in a statement.

The president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the political arm of the organization, said nominating Barrett constituted a “particular insult to the legacy of Justice [Ruth Bader] Ginsburg.”

“Barrett’s history of hostility toward reproductive health and rights, expanded health care access, and more demonstrate that she will put Justice Ginsburg’s long record of ensuring that everyone receives equal justice under the law at risk,” Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill Johnson said in a statement.

Kamala Harris Accuses GOP Senate of ‘Ignoring Justice Ginsburg’s Final Wish’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) hit the campaign trail on Monday, as Joe Biden continues to shield himself from the public eye. The newly-minted vice presidential nominee commemorated the life of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and criticized Senate Republicans’ plan to move forward on the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the seat vacated by Justice Ginsburg.

Sen. Harris accused President Trump and Republicans of “ignoring” Justice Ginsburg’s “final wish” by filling the seat.

“It looks like this president and his party are not interested in hearing any of the lessons from Justice Ginsburg,” she said, campaigning in North Carolina. “Already, the president and his party have chosen to ignore Justice Ginsburg’s final wish: to hold off the nomination to replace her until after the next president is chosen. A wish, by the way, shared by the American people.”

Sen. Harris made her opposition to Judge Barrett’s nomination clear, piling onto the fear mongering messaging campaign that her ascension to the Supreme Court poses a threat to coverage for preexisting conditions and women’s rights.

MORE LIES: Joe Biden’s Claim of Having Attended Historically Black College Refuted by School

/0 Comments/in , /by

[Joe Biden] falsely claimed for years that his wife and daughter were killed by a drunk driver, when in fact, police actually believed Biden’s late first wife was at fault. He also falsely claimed to have been the first in his family to go to college—a lie rooted in his plagiarizing a speech by British politician Neil Kinnock.

Last year, Biden claimed on the campaign trail to have attended Delaware State University, one of the country’s historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

“I got started out of an HBCU, Delaware State — now, I don’t want to hear anything negative about Delaware State,” Mr. Biden told the audience of a town hall event in South Carolina before the state’s Democratic primary. “They’re my folks.” . . .

“Vice President Biden did not attend DSU,” Carlos Holmes, director of news service for Delaware State, told the Washington Times. “However he was the Commencement keynote speaker in 2003 and [2016], and during the former he was awarded an honorary doctoral degree.” (Read more from “MORE LIES: Joe Biden’s Claim of Having Attended Historically Black College Refuted by School” HERE)

Donald Trump: ‘I’m Not Joking’ About Debate Drug Test for Joe Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said Sunday that he was not joking about the need for a drug test ahead of the first presidential debate with former Vice President Joe Biden.

“No. I’m not joking,” he said when asked about the idea during a White House press conference. “I’m willing to take a drug test, I think he should too.”

The president said that he watched previous Democrat debates where Biden was clearly “out of it” but that he appeared much better during the final primary debate with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). . .

Trump questioned how Biden turned around his debate performances despite earlier disasters.

“People say he was on performance-enhancing drugs; a lot of people have said that, a lot of people have written that,” Trump said. (Read more from “Donald Trump: ‘I’m Not Joking’ About Debate Drug Test for Joe Biden” HERE)

Trump Accuses Bloomberg of ‘Bribing Ex-Prisoners to Go Out and Vote’ For Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump said Michael Bloomberg might have broken Florida law in his attempt to get in the good favor of Joe Biden.

“Wow, nobody realized how far Mini Mike Bloomberg went in bribing ex-prisoners to go out and vote for Sleepy Joe. He is desperate to get back into the good graces of the people who not only badly beat him, but made him look like a total fool. Now he’s committed a serious crime!” Trump tweeted on Sunday.

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced on Wednesday that she had opened an investigation into Bloomberg at the request of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, noting that Bloomberg might have broken the state’s election bribery laws by offering to pay the legal fines of individuals with felony convictions so that they can vote in the 2020 election. It is illegal in Florida to give money to anyone as “an incentive simply to vote.” (Read more from Trump Accuses Bloomberg of ‘Bribing Ex-Prisoners to Go Out and Vote’ For Biden” HERE)

Mother’s Milk Could Help Fight Coronavirus, Study Finds

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mother’s milk could prevent or treat COVID-19, according to a new study by Chinese scientists.

A research team in Beijing tested the effect of human breast milk on cells exposed to the Sars-CoV-2 virus. The milk was collected in 2017, well before the start of the pandemic, and the cell types tested varied from animal kidney cells to young human lung and gut cells.

The results were the same: most living virus strains were killed by the milk.

The breast milk was “blocking viral attachment, entry and even post-entry viral replication,” the team led by Professor Tong Yigang from the Beijing University of Chemical Technology wrote in two non-peer-reviewed papers posted on biorxiv.org on Friday.

Breastfeeding has previously been seen as increasing the risk of viral transmission. (Read more from “Mother’s Milk Could Help Fight Coronavirus, Study Finds” HERE)

Pompeo Decries Media Coverage of Trump Foreign Policy Achievements

/0 Comments/in , /by

The mainstream media rarely focus on the Trump administration’s foreign policy accomplishments, but the American people “will come to see that the world is safer and their lives are more secure as a result of the way President Trump has done it,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox News’ “Life, Liberty & Levin” Sunday night.

Pompeo made the comment after host Mark Levin asked whether he thought the media understood the significance of the administration’s foreign policy strategy and achievements.

“I couldn’t tell you if they understand it,” Pompeo said. “If they do, it’s willful deceit to the American people how they speak about this.

Pompeo went on, “I’ve watched the accomplishments we’ve achieved. I could tick off half a dozen here as we sit, right, the strike against Qasem Soleimani, the change to the Middle East, the economic power that we have used to influence our allies and friends to be partners with our friends and to deny resources to regimes like the one that sits in Iran….”

Pompeo also praised Trump for strengthening the NATO alliance — an achievement he said the press “refused to share that with the American people. (Read more from “Pompeo Decries Media Coverage of Trump Foreign Policy Achievements” HERE)

Active-Duty Suicides up 20% During COVID-19 Pandemic

/1 Comment/in , /by

Suicides among active-duty U.S. military service members have increased by as much as 20% during the coronavirus pandemic, according to reports.

While the data is incomplete, Army and Air Force officials said they believe the isolation and uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic is adding stress to an already strained force. Senior Army leaders have seen a roughly 30% jump in active duty suicides this year, or 114 suicides this year compared to 88 at the same time last year.

The first three months of 2020 actually saw a decrease in self-inflicted violent behavior and murders, according to Newsweek.

The Pentagon has yet to provide 2020 data, but Army officials said discussions in Defense Department briefings indicate that there has been up to a 20% jump in overall military suicides.

“I can’t say scientifically, but what I can say is—I can read a chart and a graph, and the numbers have gone up in behavioral health-related issues,” Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said in an Associated Press interview published Sunday.

NYPD Line-Of-Duty Injuries Skyrocket Amid Violent Anti-Police Protests

/0 Comments/in , /by

At least 472 cops across all ranks have been injured responding to riots and protests since May 28, department data shows. Officers have been shot at, stabbed, assaulted with rocks, bricks, struck by vehicles and had Molotov cocktails hurled at them, officials said.

Of those injured, 319 cops required hospital treatment and seven, like Lt. Richard Mack, who was badly beaten while making a July arrest on the Brooklyn Bridge, were admitted to hospitals.

“This behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” NYPD spokeswoman Sgt. Mary Frances O’Donnell told The Post.

The 472 hurt cops contributed to 7,528 NYPD line-of-duty injuries so far in 2020, up 47 percent from the 5,133 in 2019, NYPD data through Sept. 24 reveals.

“The average person doesn’t hear about the daily assaults and injuries to police officers,” NYPD Sgt. Joseph Imperatrice, founder of Blue Lives Matter NYC, told The Post. “Officers are hurt every single day whether in regards to being assigned to routine patrol or a riot location.” (Read more from “NYPD Line-Of-Duty Injuries Skyrocket Amid Violent Anti-Police Protests” HERE)
