California Sees Spike in Gun Ownership Amid Increase in Violence

/0 Comments/in , /by

California has seen a surge in gun ownership since the coronavirus pandemic began as concerns about the recent spike in violence intensified, a new study shows.

Since the pandemic began, California has seen roughly 47,000 new gun owners, while an estimated 110,000 people acquired a firearm, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of California, Davis and other institutions.

Among reasons cited by respondents was an increased fear in being the victim of a robbery as a result of the pandemic. Others reported they were “very worried” about violence happening within their neighborhoods. Some respondents said they purchased a firearm out of fear of racially motivated attacks.

The most common reasons given for firearm acquisition because of the pandemic was a fear of lawlessness, which was cited by 75.9% of respondents. More than half of the respondents said they worried about prisoner releases and nearly 50% of respondents worried the government had gone too far, according to the study.

Respondents who already owned a firearm said they purchased more ammunition during the pandemic because they also feared that there will be violence, the study showed. (Read more from “California Sees Spike in Gun Ownership Amid Increase in Violence” HERE)

WATCH: Chelsea Clinton Claims President Trump Is Obsessed With Hillary

/1 Comment/in , /by

Chelsea Clinton claimed President Donald Trump is “obsessed” with her mother, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and that he is still miffed that she beat him in the popular vote.

“He’s obsessed with her!” Clinton said in a Monday interview on “The Real,” a daytime talk show. “I mean, he talks about her all the time. He talks about her in interviews. He talks about her in rallies. He tweets about her,” she added while the hosts nodded in agreement.

“I think it’s really clear that he has never gotten over the fact that she won the popular vote by more than 3 million votes,” Clinton continued, adding that she believes Trump is intimidated by strong women. “I don’t think it’s an accident that we saw kind of how he reacted to Kamala Harris’ extraordinary debate performance, which similarly, he felt quite threatened by.”

Clinton also said she wishes Trump would think less about her mother and more about the COVID-19 crisis.

WATCH: Fed-Up Trump Supporter Delivers Wake up Call to Black Voters

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A Republican congressional candidate in California shared a video of an epic schooling of black supporters of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Tamika Hamilton, the GOP candidate for California’s third congressional district, shared a video of a black woman’s fiery message to Biden supporters as she set the record straight on what President Donald Trump has actually accomplished for the black community in his first term. . .

“What do you want?” the woman in the video demanded of African Americans and their “allies,” calling out the hypocrisy over calls for action that have been attacked, citing recent examples such as the cancel culture’s meltdown over rapper Ice Cube for helping the Trump administration.

“You say you want black men to step up. They’re trying to step up but every time they step up you tell them they’re stepping wrong,” the woman added.

She called out members of the black community slamming Trump amid demands to vote him out, asking how they “can’t take four more years” while they quietly took 47 years under Biden’s political career. (Read more from “WATCH: Fed-Up Trump Supporter Delivers Wake up Call to Black Voters” HERE)

WATCH: UK Women and Equalities Minister Torches BLM Movement

/0 Comments/in , /by

The UK’s Women and Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch, a member of the Conservative Party, delivered a strong condemnation of the Black Lives Matter movement and critical race theory on the floor of the House of Commons — saying such ideologies have no place in British schools. . .

“What we are against is the teaching of contested political ideas as if they are accepted fact,” Badenoch explained. “We don’t do this with communism, we don’t do this with socialism, we don’t do it with capitalism — and I want to speak about a dangerous trend in race relations that has come far too close to home to my life, and it’s the promotion of Critical Race Theory, an ideology that sees my blackness as victimhood and their whiteness as oppression.”

“I want to absolutely clear,” she continued. “This government stand unequivocally against Critical Race Theory.”

Badenoch then went after BLM, saying, “Some schools have decided to openly support the anti-capitalist Black Lives Matter group, often fully aware that they have a statutory duty to be politically impartial.”

“Black lives do matter, of course they do,” the minister said. “But we know that the Black Lives Matter movement — capital B.L.M. — is political. I know this, because at the height of the protests, I have been told of white Black Lives Matter protesters calling — and I’m afraid … I apologize for saying this word — calling a black armed police officer guarding downing street a ‘pet n*****.

CNN Analyst Reportedly Caught Masturbating on Zoom Call That Led to New Yorker Suspension Had Sordid Sex History

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Fox News. A new report on the suspension of New Yorker staff writer and CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin claims the legal pundit was masturbating during a Zoom call with colleagues.

Vice reported on Monday that the magazine is investigating an incident where the legal pundit exposed himself to members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio staffs during a Zoom call last week.

“Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended while we investigate the matter,” a spokesperson for the New Yorker confirmed to Fox News. . .

The call, which was described as an “election simulation,” featured Toobin’s New Yorker colleagues including Jane Mayer, Masha Gessen, Andrew Marantz, Jelani Cobb, Evan Osnos, Sue Halpern, and Dexter Filkins playing various roles in potential 2020 outcomes including President Trump, Joe Biden, “establishment Republicans,” ‘establishment Democrats,” and “the military.” Toobin was playing “the courts.”

According to two sources, Toobin was seen masturbating in what was supposed to be a 10-minute “strategy session” along party lines, but that it “seemed like Toobin was on a second video call.” (Read more from “CNN Analyst Reportedly Caught Masturbating on Zoom Call That Led to New Yorker Suspension” HERE)

Toobin Had Sordid Sex History Even Before Masturbating on Zoom Video

By Kate Sheehy. Jeffrey Toobin’s alleged masturbation on a work video call is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of his reported sordid sex past.

The New Yorker magazine star and top CNN legal analyst — who is suspended from the publication and on leave from the network after being accused of performing manual labor in an online meeting with fellow mag talent — was outed for having an extramarital affair and getting his girlfriend pregnant about a decade ago. . .

When news of the pair’s affair made headlines around 2010, the now-defunct website Gawker published an item about Toobin’s alleged sexual habits titled, “Too Hot For Print: CNN Anchor Jeffrey Toobin’s Rumored XXX Sex Fetish.’’

Toobin opened up his story with the sentence, “A sign inside the front door of Miami Velvet, a night club of sorts in a warehouse-style building a few minutes from the airport, states, ‘If sexual activity offends you in any way, do not enter the premises.’ ”

Toobin’s personal life again took center stage over his career Monday when Vice reported on his alleged cringeworthy Zoom fail. (Read more from this story about the failed CNN Analyst HERE)

After Twitter Shut Down Biden Corruption Reports, Democrats Boost Blatant Disinformation

/1 Comment/in , /by

Democrats complain about “far-right disinformation campaigns,” and advocate for social media giants to censor and fact-check any claim they disagree with, but fail to recognize their own role in actively spreading falsehoods and misinformation.

Despite Twitter and Facebook’s reported devotion to fact-checking and limiting the spread of misinformation, including censoring the New York Post’s story revealing Joe Biden’s knowledge of his son’s foreign business dealings, a number of other misinformation campaigns recently peddled by Democrats have gone unchecked.

Vox’s Aaron Rupar contributed to the Democrats’ spread of disinformation in a now-deleted tweet alleging that Trump engaged in a quid pro quo with ExxonMobil, offering them permits in exchange for campaign money.

“I call the head of Exxon. I’ll use a company. ‘How are you doing? How’s energy coming? When are you doing the exploration? Oh, you need a couple of permits, huh? But I call the head of Exxon I say, ‘You know, I’d love you to send me $25 million for the campaign.’ -Trump #QuidProQuo,” the tweet read.

In reality, Trump was speaking in the hypothetical on Monday afternoon at a rally in Arizona, offering the crowd with an example of how he could raise more campaign donations than his opponent Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden if he wanted to.

Struggling Bar Owner in New Biden Ad Is Actually a Wealthy Democratic Donor

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden team is under fire for releasing a TV campaign ad last week depicting a Michigan bar owner struggling to keep his business afloat during the pandemic.

What the ad fails to mention is the man is actually a wealthy tech investor who made contributions to the former vice president’s campaign. He also supported Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home orders that kept businesses shuttered longer.

The ad, which was posted to YouTube on Thursday and aired Sunday on CBS during NFL games, features Joe Malcoun, who is listed as the “co-owner” of The Blind Pig, a once-popular bar and music venue in Ann Arbor, Mich. Malcoun blamed his business’ economic downturn on President Trump’s COVID-19 response. . .

After inheriting money from his wife’s grandfather, which he likened to “winning the lottery,” Malcoun said he founded CKM Capital Partners in 2013 and eventually became an “angel investor” in local tech companies, according to a 2018 interview with Click On Detroit.

He’s also served as CEO of Nutshell, a customer relationship management software company, since 2014, and under his leadership the firm raised at least $5.5 million in angel and venture capital, according to his Crain’s Detroit Business 40 under 40 profile.

Trump Campaign Demanded Change to Final Debate Topics

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Breitbart. The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) has adopted a new rule ahead of Thursday’s second and final presidential debate and will silence the microphone of the candidate who does not have the floor during the uninterrupted two-minute periods at the start of each segment.

The Commission cited their prior announcement to consider “additional structure” to future debates following the first presidential debate with moderator Chris Wallace. The first debate saw several interruptions from both candidates and Wallace. While Joe Biden (D) set the tone by interrupting first, Wallace later stated that Trump bore the “primary responsibility” for what occurred during the debate.

“The Commission has determined that it is appropriate to adopt measures intended to promote adherence to agreed upon rules and inappropriate to make changes to those rules,” it said in a statement, detailing its plan to enforce the rule:

Under the agreed upon debate rules, each candidate is to have two minutes of uninterrupted time to make remarks at the beginning of each 15 minute segment of the debate. These remarks are to be followed by a period of discussion. Both campaigns this week again reaffirmed their agreement to the two-minute, uninterrupted rule. The Commission is announcing today that in order to enforce this agreed upon rule, the only candidate whose microphone will be open during these two-minute periods is the candidate who has the floor under the rules. For the balance of each element, which by design is intended to be dedicated to open discussion, both candidates’ microphones will be open.

Trump Campaign Demands Change to Final Debate Topics

By The Hill. The Trump campaign is demanding that the Commission on Presidential Debates adjust the topics for the final presidential debate so that the meeting focuses on foreign policy.

Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien penned a letter to the commission Monday raising objections with the topics announced by moderator and NBC News correspondent Kristen Welker last week, saying the commission should observe “long-standing custom” by making foreign policy the central focus of Thursday’s debate. Stepien also claimed the campaigns had agreed to the third debate being focused on foreign policy.

“As is the long-standing custom, and as has been promised by the Commission on Presidential Debates, we had expected that foreign policy would be the central focus of the October 22 debate. We urge you to recalibrate the topics and return to subjects which had already been confirmed,” Stepien wrote.

Stepien accused Democratic nominee Joe Biden of being “desperate to avoid conversations about his own foreign policy record” and said the commission was trying to alter the course of the final debate in order to “insulate Biden from his own history.”

“The Commission’s pro-Biden antics have turned the entire debate season into a fiasco and it is little wonder why the public has lost faith in its objectivity,” he wrote. (Read more from “Trump Campaign Demands Change to Final Debate Topics” HERE)
