Report: Grandma-Killer Governor Undercounted COVID-19 Deaths in Nursing Homes

/0 Comments/in , /by

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo lied about the number of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes due to his inadequate leadership and policy that sent infected patients into care facilities during the pandemic.

In a new, lengthy report following months of a highly-anticipated investigation into the deadly neglect, New York state Attorney General Letitia James found that Cuomo, his administration, and the state’s Health Department severely undercounted the number of COVID-related deaths in nursing homes by as much as 50 percent. One example cited in the report shows that a long-term care facility that the state claimed only had 11 deaths from COVID-19 actually lost 40 people to the virus, with more than half occurring at the home. . .

Originally, the state recorded more than 8,500 Wuhan virus deaths of nursing home residents following Cuomo’s March 25, 2020 order, which said elderly patients with COVID-19, discharged from hospitals, should return back to their care facilities. The order extended for more than a month, leading to the infection of thousands of vulnerable people in close quarters with contagious co-residents. These thousands of nursing home infections and deaths were concerning to the families of the patients and to members of the public who questioned the state’s policy to count only COVID-19 deaths that occurred at the facility and ignore the deaths of residents who contracted the virus in their nursing home but later died in the hospital. . .

The attorney general’s finding contradicts an internal report conducted by the state’s Health Department and Cuomo’s claims last summer that the state did nothing wrong and that most of the patients returned to nursing homes “were no longer contagious when admitted and therefore were not a source of infection.” (Read more from “Report: Grandma-Killer Governor Undercounted COVID-19 Deaths in Nursing Homes” HERE)

2020 Election: Maricopa County Officials Approve Forensic Audit of Voting Systems

/0 Comments/in , /by

Maricopa County in Arizona will carry out a comprehensive forensic audit of its voting systems to allay concerns raised by some constituents about the integrity of the November 2020 election.

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously at a Jan. 27 meeting to hire two independent companies to conduct an audit that will review whether voting machines counted votes correctly, and whether they were tampered with or hacked in any way.

The Republican-dominated board defended the accuracy of the county’s election results, while expressing hope that a comprehensive equipment and software audit would dispel concerns that the results were inaccurate. . .

According to information from the meeting, the “multi-layered forensic audit” will include a software, hardware, and financial review of voting systems. A vulnerability analysis will be performed, along with a check for malware and a test to verify that tabulators didn’t send or receive information over the internet. Additionally, a logic and accuracy test of the county’s tabulation equipment will be conducted to verify whether ballots were counted accurately and to confirm that no votes were switched.

Disturbing Court Documents: Ghislaine Maxwell Forced Young Girls to Do Sexual Performances for Jeffrey Epstein

/2 Comments/in , /by

Accused madam Ghislaine Maxwell directed a room full of young girls to “kiss, dance and touch one another in a sexual way” for Jeffrey Epstein’s gratification, according to newly unsealed court documents. The alleged orgy-like performance by underage girls was detailed by an unidentified witness and alleged in 112 court documents that were released late Wednesday.

Shocking new court documents also expose explicit details about the madam and convicted pedophile by Anthony Figueroa, the ex-boyfriend of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the longtime accuser of Epstein and Maxwell.

Giuffre, who has since settled a lawsuit against Maxwell, was allegedly forced into a threesome after “Jeffrey wanted Virginia to have sex with Ms. Maxwell,” the Daily Mail reported. The pair allegedly used sex toys during the romp, court documents say.

“Ms. Maxwell and Jeffrey would obviously be doing stuff, all three of them together,” Figueroa said, according to court documents. “Like I said, that they would all go out to clubs to pick up girls and try and find them to bring back for Jeffrey. And then she told me about how, like I said, her and Ms. Maxwell and Jeffrey were all intimate together on multiple occasions.”

When Figueroa was asked by authorities about the claim that Giuffre was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew three times at the behest the Maxwell and Epstein, he admitted that he could not “recall,” but added it “could be possible.” He said that he only remembers Giuffre mentioning being forced to have sex with “just Ms. Maxwell and all the other girls.” (Read more from “Disturbing Court Documents: Ghislaine Maxwell Forced Young Girls to Do Sexual Performances for Jeffrey Epstein” HERE)

Is Anyone Going to Ask Why Thousands of Troops Are Still in DC After Biden’s Inauguration?

/1 Comment/in , /by

Joe Biden is president. The inauguration is over. So, why do we still have troops in the capital? Nearly 30,000 men were deployed to provide security for the January 20 mostly COVID-safe festivities. . .

The Biden administration is here—and so is the National Guard. They’re staying. Some 5,000 troops will remain to provide security as Congress navigates through Trump’s second impeachment. As Cortney noted earlier, the new measures are not being well-received (via Politico):

Former President Donald Trump’s upcoming Senate impeachment trial poses a security concern that federal law enforcement officials told lawmakers last week requires as many as 5,000 National Guard troops to remain in Washington through mid-March, according to four people familiar with the matter.

The contingency force will help protect the Capitol from what was described as “impeachment security concerns,” including the possibility of mass demonstrations coinciding with the Senate’s trial, which is slated to begin the week of Feb. 8.

Despite the threat, the citizen soldiers on the ground say they have been given little information about the extension and wonder why they are being forced to endure combat-like conditions in the nation’s capital without a clear mission.

Everyone Agrees the New Capitol Security Measure Is Awful

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three weeks after the deadly riots on Capitol Hill, a major change is coming to the People’s House. According to the acting Capitol Police chief, a permanent security fence is going to be installed in front of the Capitol.

“Vast improvements to the physical security infrastructure must be made to include permanent fencing,” Acting U.S. Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman announced. As you can see, the Capitol will not look quite as inviting.

Married Police Chief Exposed on City’s Facebook for Having Two Mistresses

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .A married Texas police chief and father of four has been placed under social media arrest by his girlfriend for allegedly leading a “double/triple life” with at least two mistresses. The scorned woman aired his dirty laundry in a Facebook post with over 37,000 shares.

The scandal came to light after Jason Collier, 41, chief of the Stinnett Police Department, uploaded a since-deleted Facebook post commemorating his anniversary with his wife Opal, the Heavy reported.

Things went south for him after one of Collier’s girlfriends, Cecily Steinmetz — who likely saw the adoring post — exposed his triple-infidelity in the blistering message on the City of Stinnett Facebook page. The post included romantic snaps of Steinmetz and the adulterous cop.

“Chief Jason Collier is living a double/triple life,” wrote the Amarillo native. “I was his girlfriend until yesterday.”

Steinmetz continued, “He lied to me and presented me with fake annulment documents when I found out he was married. I also found out about a 2nd girlfriend, Kristi, last night. He has lied to us, our children, and asked us both to marry him.” (Read more from “Married Police Chief Exposed on City’s Facebook for Having Two Mistresses” HERE)

Oh, for PETA’s Sake! Animal Advocacy Group Denounces Insults Like ‘Chicken’ or ‘Pig’

/0 Comments/in , /by

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals demanded this week that people stop using “speciesist” terms such as “chicken,” “pig” or “rat” as insults for humans — and promptly got ripped as dodos for the stunt.

The PETA tweet was so widely mocked online that it soon boasted an embarrassing ratio of almost 11,000 comments to just over 3,000 likes as of Thursday morning.

“Calling someone an animal as an insult reinforces the myth that humans are superior to other animals & justified in violating them,” the animal-rights advocacy group said in its earnest call to action. “Stand up for justice by rejecting supremacist language.”

PETA social-media reps also included a chart detailing the human “supremacist” terminology and suggesting alternative language such as using “coward” instead of “chicken,” “snitch” in lieu of “rat,” “jerk” rather than “snake,” “repulsive” rather than “pig” and “lazy” to cast aspersions onto someone with sloth-like tendencies.

Needless to say, the majority of commenters deemed the directive a bit cuckoo. (Read more from “Oh, for PETA’s Sake! Animal Advocacy Group Denounces Insults Like ‘Chicken’ or ‘Pig'” HERE)

Insanity: University Professor Says Heterosexuality Is ‘Tragic’ and Causes All Sorts of Societal Problems for Men and Women

/0 Comments/in , /by

A professor at the University of California-Riverside says that heterosexuality is a “tragic” concept that perpetuates misogyny, funnels men into supporting toxic masculinity, and breaks up relationships.

As highlighted by Campus Reform, Jane Ward, a professor of gender and sexuality studies and self-described lesbian, says that “heterosexual relationships” are inherently bad for people and their interpersonal relationships because they highlight inequality.

In an December article for Insider, Ward argued that by all appearances, men and women don’t actually like one another.

Insider’s Julia Naftulin reported, “She feels sorry for straight people, especially straight women, who typically report some of the lowest sexual satisfaction in society, Ward told Insider. But she also feels sorry for straight men, who are pigeon-holed into toxic-masculine culture that teaches them they both need, and yet should also demean, women.”

“It really looks like straight men and women don’t like each other very much, that women spend so much time complaining about men, and we still have so much evidence of misogyny,” Ward told the outlet. “From an LGBT perspective, [heterosexuality] looks actually very tragic.” (Read more from “Insanity: University Professor Says Heterosexuality Is ‘Tragic’ and Causes All Sorts of Societal Problems for Men and Women” HERE)

Colleges Threatening Students Who Ignore COVID-19 Rules

/0 Comments/in , /by

Universities around the U.S. are cutting off students’ Wi-Fi access and their ability to use paid University services if they do not comply with COVID-19 policies.

At the University of Illinois, according to the Daily Illini, students who don’t follow lockdown policies could lose their access to Compass, a tool used to access and submit class assignments.

“And I need to be very clear that students who do not follow all COVID-related expectations face university disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. Please note that this semester, students who are out of compliance may also lose access to university Wi-Fi, Zoom, Compass and other technologies,” wrote University of Illinois Chancellor Robert Jones in a January 20 email to students, which was obtained by Campus Reform.

At Boston University, students who fail to get their mandated coronavirus tests or fail to report their symptoms within 48 hours of a warning will have their Student ID Card and Wi-Fi disabled. These students also can’t participate in classes, even remotely, until they have reported back to the university.

At Baylor University in Waco, Texas, punishments depend on how many tests a student misses. (Read more from “Colleges Threatening Students Who Ignore COVID-19 Rules” HERE)

Proud Boy Leader, Arrested in DC, Was a Federal Informant

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The leader of the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group involved in the Capitol riot, went undercover to assist Miami police and cooperated with the FBI in multiple drug and illegal gambling investigations, a court transcript shows.

The man, Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, 36, began working with the FBI after he was arrested in 2013 on federal fraud charges related to a scheme to sell stolen diabetic test strips well below market value, according to the transcript, which was reviewed by NBC News. . .

In arguing for a reduced sentence, the prosecutor said Tarrio had helped federal law enforcement agencies prosecute 13 other people in two separate indictments. . .

Messages left at the listed numbers for Tarrio, who was arrested in Washington, D.C., two days before the storming of the Capitol, were not returned. In an interview with Reuters, which first reported his role as a law enforcement cooperator, Tarrio denied working with the police. . .

Tarrio’s role as a police cooperator predated the rise of the Proud Boys, which formed in 2016. He became the national chairman of the group, which describes itself as an organization of “Western chauvinists,” in 2018. (Read more from “Proud Boy Leader, Arrest in DC, Was a Federal Informant” HERE)
