Trump-Appointed Judge Restricts Biden Officials From Colluding With Big Tech in Bombshell Ruling After COVID Censorship

A federal judge has blocked Biden administration officials from contacting social media companies in a landmark order targeting government censorship and suppression of online postings.

US District Court Judge Terry Doughty, a Trump appointee, determined Tuesday that the White House likely colluded with Big Tech to censor protected speech during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“During … a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth,’” Doughty wrote in his 155-page order.

The judge concluded that the plaintiffs, led by the states of Missouri and Louisiana, were likely to succeed and issued a preliminary injunction limiting dozens of Biden administration officials from attempting to coordinate with social media giants to remove content.

Officials subject to the injunction include White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, employees of the Justice Department and FBI, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.

WATCH: Republican Advocates for 2A With Fourth of July Flamethrower Vid

Rep. Eric Burlison’s (R-MO) affinity for flamethrowing resurfaced for the Fourth of July after the Missouri Republican and vocal Second Amendment advocate first made an impression during his campaign last year for using the fire-breathing device.

Burlison shared the new video to his social media, which showed the lawmaker rolling into the scene on a four-wheeler, praising American independence, shooting an AR-15, and torching a hotdog with the flamethrower.

“Shoot some fireworks, or something else. Enjoy some great outdoor food, but most importantly be unapologetically proud of the greatest, freest nation on earth,” Burlison says in the clip.

Burlison told Breitbart News of the video, “I love this country, I love the principles it was founded on, and I wanted to make a fun video to showcase it.” (Read more from “WATCH: Republican Advocates for 2A With Fourth of July Flamethrower Vid” HERE)

Fourth of July: ‘Squad’ Members Scold America for ‘Stolen Land’ and Slavery

Reps. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Cori Bush (D-MO) used the occasion of America’s independence to “demand reparations now” and push messages about “stolen land” and slavery.

In his Fourth of July message on Twitter, Bowman tweeted, “This July 4th, we must remember that we stand on stolen land toiled by enslaved Africans and recommit ourselves to the fight for freedom, equality, & justice so that these ideals are accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few.”

Similarly, Bush posted a message admonishing the Declaration of Independence and the founders, saying, “The Declaration of Independence was written by enslavers and didn’t recognize Black people as human.”

“Today is a great day to demand Reparations Now,” the Black Lives Matter activist added.

As members of the “Squad,” Bowman and Bush are some of the most liberal Democrats in their caucus, frequently pushing items such as reparations and Green New Deal-style climate measures. (Read more from “Fourth of July: ‘Squad’ Members Scold America for ‘Stolen Land’ and Slavery” HERE)

Biden Slammed After Report Reveals Number of Grandchildren His Aides Instructed To Say Publicly

President Biden is facing backlash from conservatives following a report that his aides have been told to say publicly that he only has six grandchildren, omitting Hunter Biden’s 4-year-old estranged daughter.

The president’s son, Hunter Biden, settled his child support case in Arkansas last week, ending a years-long paternity dispute over his 4-year-old daughter, whom both the president and the first lady refuse to acknowledge as their seventh grandchild.

Announced in a court filing on Thursday, Hunter agreed to give his daughter some of his paintings, and the mother of the child, Lunden Alexis Roberts, agreed to withdraw her counterclaim to change their child’s last name to “Biden.”

The New York Times released a damning report Saturday saying the family dispute is rooted in “money, corrosive politics and what it means to have the Biden birthright.”

White House aides have been told during strategy meetings that the president and first lady Jill Biden have six, not seven, grandchildren, two people familiar with the discussions told the newspaper.

Leaked Photos Show Obamas Were ‘Rage-Tweeting’ About ‘Oppression’ After the SCOTUS Affirmative Action Ruling While on Board a Mega-Luxury Yacht

Former US President Barack Obama and actor Tom Hanks have recently been spotted enjoying a lavish vacation in Greece alongside their families when his wife was tweeting about “oppression,” RadarOnline.com has learned.

The group was seen dining at a glamorous waterfront restaurant on the island of Sifnos earlier this month. Obama’s wife, Michelle, and their daughters, Sasha and Malia, were also present for the meal.

Witnesses told the Daily Mail that the party arrived at the restaurant by dinghy, having come from a luxury yacht that was docked nearby. An anonymous onlooker described the group’s presence as overwhelming, mentioning the excessive security measures that surrounded them.

The timing of the Obamas’ vacation has raised eyebrows, as it coincided with their public comments on the recent Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action.

Michelle took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the decision, while Barack echoed his wife’s sentiments about “fairness” regarding oppressed groups in America. Their tweets sparked controversy, as it was revealed that they were posted while the Obamas were enjoying their luxurious yacht trip in Greece.

Woman Reportedly Disinvites Conservative Uncle From Her Wedding, Then Is Shocked at the Consequences

. . .A woman’s conservative uncle was allegedly still expected to gift her money despite being uninvited from her wedding.

The brazen bride’s mother wrote to the “Ask Amy” column of the Chicago Tribune after experiencing the consequences of acting as her daughter’s mouthpiece.

The apparently politically progressive bride told her mother that her uncle, known to the daughter as “Uncle Dave,” caused her to “feel unsafe.” She requested her mother not invite Uncle Dave due to their political differences.

The mother explained she thought her daughter and Uncle Dave “always had a good relationship” despite his support of “candidates we all abhor.” Uncle Dave was describe to have “always been very nice,” and the mother was surprised by the sudden animus toward him. She, however, ultimately honored her daughter’s request. . .

“In short: Brides who are too afraid of family members to invite them to a family wedding don’t then get the pleasure of receiving their money,” the columnist responded. (Read more from “Woman Reportedly Disinvites Conservative Uncle From Her Wedding, Then Is Shocked at the Consequences” HERE)

Poll: Ahead of July 4, Americans Largely Think U.S. Is Headed Down ‘Wrong Track’; Majority of Americans Have Lost Confidence in Government

By Breitbart. Ahead of the Fourth of July, only 29 percent of likely U.S. voters believe the United States is “heading in the right direction,” a new Rasmussen Reports survey found.

Conversely, 64 percent of voters think the nation is “headed down the wrong track.” Rasmussen Reports conducted the survey with 1,743 likely U.S. voters between June 25-29 with a ± two percent margin of sampling error at the 95 percent confidence level.

“A year ago at this time, 18 percent said the United States was heading in the right direction, while 77 percent said it was on the wrong track,” according to the survey report.

The findings are similar to a new Convention of States Action/Trafalgar Group survey, which found that seven in ten Americans believe the U.S. is in a state of “cultural and economic decline.” (Read more from “Poll: Ahead of July 4, Americans Largely Think U.S. Is Headed Down ‘Wrong Track’” HERE)

Hunter Prosecutor Tied to First Son’s Business Partner

Derek Hines, an assistant U.S. attorney at the Department of Justice working on the Hunter Biden case, reportedly had a close professional relationship with a former FBI director whose firm has extensive business ties to the Biden family.

Hines’s LinkedIn page lists him working for former FBI Director Louis Freeh at his private company, Freeh Group International Solutions, as a special counsel between August 2013 and February 2015. Hines was one of the prosecutors to sign off on Biden’s recent plea deal.

An email had previously revealed that in 2016 that Freeh, then a partner at the Delaware-based law firm Freeh, Sporkin & Sullivan, worked with Biden on a job consulting deal regarding the prosecution of Romanian real estate tycoon Gabriel Popoviciu. Popoviciu reportedly paid Biden at least $1 million for help with his case. In April 2016, Freeh gave $100,000 to a trust for two of President Joe Biden’s grandchildren.

In July 2016, Freeh responded to an email to Hunter Biden, “I also spoke to [Joe Biden] a few weeks ago and would like to explore with him some future work options. I believe that working together on these (and other legal) matters would be of value, fun and rewarding.”

Freeh was a board member of the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children. (Read more from “Hunter Prosecutor Tied to First Son’s Business Partner” HERE)

News Station Director Fired After Asking Journalists to Tone Down Coverage of Pride Events Following Viewer Complaints

The director of a local news station in Michigan has been fired, as has an assistant director, after issuing a memo to journalists asking them to cover Pride events in a more “balanced” way.

WOOD-TV8 — an NBC affiliate based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan — terminated news director Stanton Tang and assistant news director Amy Fox for releasing the intra-office memo regarding coverage of Pride Month events. According to excerpts of the memo, news station officials had received complaints from viewers who were upset by the station’s supposedly fawning coverage of LGBTQ events.

“We know that West Michigan is a Conservative area in many ways,” the memo said, according to reports. “We need to recognize that some stories related to LGBTQ issues are going to be controversial and polarizing in our community. While you personally may not agree with a certain position, people are entitled to their opinions, and they are our viewers.”

The WOOD-TV memo asked journalists to cover Pride events selectively, based on their “newsworthy-ness.” Should a story be deemed newsworthy, journalists should then make every effort to stay “balanced and get both sides of the issue.” Tang reportedly requested the memo, and Fox reportedly wrote and sent it on his behalf.

Newsroom staff apparently responded to the directive with a mixture of defiance and fury. Based on comments from unnamed employees quoted in the Desk, many staff members experienced significant emotional turmoil on account of the memo. “The toxic atmosphere created by Stanton’s behavior has had a profound impact on the well-being and morale of our team,” one employee said in an email to the Desk. Another claimed that emotions at the station were “still raw.” A third employee, identified as a journalist, stated, “This whole situation killed what used to be a very enjoyable job. I have no passion for it anymore.” (Read more from “News Station Director Fired After Asking Journalists to Tone Down Coverage of Pride Events Following Viewer Complaints” HERE)

Army Celebrates Trans Soldier, Claims ‘Coming Out’ and ‘Living as One’s True Self’ Saves Lives — Meanwhile, Military Recruiting Crisis Continues

In the final days of Pride Month, the United States Army highlighted the story of a “transgender female” officer whose life was allegedly saved after “coming out.” Meanwhile, the military is battling the worst recruiting crisis since the beginning of the all-volunteer service in 1973.

The Army featured an article titled “Living Authentically Saves Soldier’s Life,” which featured the “coming out” story of Major Rachel Jones, an Army Sustainment Command Cyber Division chief.

According to the article, Jones “lived every day deeply depressed and suicidal” before publicly coming out as a transgender woman. . .

Stephanie Allers, a program specialist and suicide prevention liaison for the Army, claimed that depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and suicidal ideation risks are twice as high for veterans and active-duty soldiers who identify as LGBT+ but “have concealed their true selves,” the Army’s article stated.

“One reason for this is the chronic, toxic stress experienced by those who need or opt to hide their true self and those who have experienced loss of support or interpersonal and professional relationships because of their identity or sexual orientation,” Allers said.
