Left-Wing Dark Money Groups Unite to Undo Trump’s Judicial Legacy

/0 Comments/in , /by

Progressives are mobilizing to undo President Donald Trump’s judicial legacy through a new dark money initiative.

The effort, called Unrig the Courts, is spearheaded by a coalition of eight left-wing groups: Demand Justice, Take Back the Courts, People’s Parity Project, 51 for 51, Demos Action, Indivisible, Just Democracy Coalition, and Stand Up America. The coalition will push to add seats to the Supreme Court, impose term limits on its justices, expand the lower courts, and create “improved ethics and transparency requirements.”

Demand Justice, led by former Hillary Clinton aide Brian Fallon, is perhaps the best-known member in the coalition. Fallon’s group is a project of the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a dark money fiscal sponsor managed by D.C.-based consulting firm Arabella Advisors, whose funds raked in $715 million for liberal groups and causes in 2019.

The coalition hopes to build popular support for the overhauls as it lobbies Biden and Congress. The public largely opposes adding seats to the bench, but Biden, who said he is “not a fan” of court packing, is moving to create a bipartisan commission to study judicial reforms.

Democrat Aides Begging for Trump Conviction

/1 Comment/in , /by

By Breitbart. Over 370 Democrat aides banned together and signed an open letter to members of the Senate on Wednesday, begging them to convict former President Trump for inciting an “attack on our workplace.”

“We are staff who work for members of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, where it is our honor and privilege to serve our country and our fellow Americans,” the Democrat aides began in the letter, sharing their experiences from the day of the January 6 Capitol protest. The aides expressed the unequivocal belief that both Trump and his political allies incited the attack — a narrative championed by the Democrat-led House lawmakers who voted in favor of impeachment.

“Many of us attended school in the post-Columbine era and were trained to respond to active shooter situations in our classrooms. As the mob smashed through Capitol Police barricades, broke doors and windows, and charged into the Capitol with body armor and weapons, many of us hid behind chairs and under desks or barricaded ourselves in offices,” they said, detailing their experience.

Trump, they claimed, “broke America’s 230-year legacy of the peaceful transition of power when he incited a mob to disrupt the counting of electoral college votes. They again stated that the crowd was “inspired by lies told by the former president and others about the results of the election in a baseless, months-long effort to reject votes lawfully cast by the American people.”

The Democrat aides presented two choices, proclaiming that people either “stand with the republic or against it.” (Read more from “Democrat Aides Begging for Trump Conviction” HERE)

Hundreds of Democratic Staff Plead With Senators to Convict Trump in Impeachment Trial

By NBC News. Hundreds of Democratic staffers from both chambers of Congress are pleading with senators to convict former President Donald Trump in his upcoming impeachment trial for his part in the events leading up to the deadly riot at the Capitol last month.

On Jan. 6, “our workplace was attacked by a violent mob trying to stop the electoral college vote count,” the 370 staff members wrote in an open letter. “That mob was incited by former president Donald J. Trump and his political allies, some of whom we pass every day in the hallways at work.”

The staff members come from more than 100 House and 15 Senate offices and include those on the Judiciary, Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees. They said they hope the senators will take their trauma seriously when the chamber weighs whether to convict the former president.

“The attack on our workplace was inspired by lies told by the former president and others about the results of the election in a baseless, months-long effort to reject votes lawfully cast by the American people,” they wrote.

Investigators Struggle to Build Murder Case in Death of U.S. Capitol Police Officer

/1 Comment/in , /by

Investigators are struggling to build a federal murder case regarding fallen US Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, vexed by a lack of evidence that could prove someone caused his death as he defended the Capitol during last month’s insurrection.

Authorities have reviewed video and photographs that show Sicknick engaging with rioters amid the siege but have yet to identify a moment in which he suffered his fatal injuries, law enforcement officials familiar with the matter said.

Soon after Sicknick died on January 7, prosecutors in Washington opened a federal murder investigation, dedicating a team inside the US attorney’s office to build out a case, authorities have said.

To date, little information has been shared publicly about the circumstances of the death of the 13-year veteran of the police force, including any findings from an autopsy that was conducted by DC’s medical examiner.

Parler CEO Says He Has Been Fired

/0 Comments/in , /by

Parler CEO John Matze said he has been fired by the board of the social media company, which has not been running since the deadly siege against the Capitol last month.

Matze revealed his apparent departure in a memo to colleagues that was obtained by Fox Business on Wednesday. In it, he said that the decision to leave the social media company, which was favored by supporters of former President Donald Trump, was out of his hands.

“On January 29, 2021, the Parler board controlled by Rebekah Mercer decided to immediately terminate my position as CEO of Parler. I did not participate in this decision,” he said. “I understand that those who now control the company have made some communications to employees and other third parties that have unfortunately created confusion and prompted me to make this public statement.”

Amazon removed Parler from its cloud-hosting service because it said the social media platform was not effectively moderating and removing violent material, including “egregious content” related to the Capitol violence on Jan. 6. (Read more from “Parler CEO Says He Has Been Fired” HERE)

First Federal Mass Vaccination Centers To Open

/1 Comment/in , /by

The first mass vaccination centers planned by the federal government are set to roll out in California.

The first two locations — staffed by employees of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Health and Human Services — will be at the Oakland Coliseum and the campus of California State University, Los Angeles.

Jeff Zients, President Biden’s COVID-19 czar, said the facilities are strategically located next to communities that have been hardest hit by the pandemic, according to NBC News.

“These sites in California are just the beginning,” Zients said. “We are working with, in partnership, in states across the country to stand up new sites and will have more to say on that in the coming weeks.” (Read more from “First Federal Mass Vaccination Centers To Open” HERE)

Actor Denzel Washington Defends Cops Amid BLM Movement

/1 Comment/in , /by

Academy Award-winning actor Denzel Washington said he has “the utmost respect” for cops — while taking a shot at anti-police protesters.

The 66-year-old “Malcolm X” actor said he’s had a first-hand look at the value of police work, after playing law enforcement in several roles throughout his career.

“I have the utmost respect for what they do, for what our soldiers do, (people) that sacrifice their lives. I just don’t care for people who put those kind of people down,” Washington told Yahoo! Entertainment.

“If it weren’t for them, we would not have the freedom to complain about what they do.” (Read more from “Actor Denzel Washington Defends Cops Amid BLM Movement” HERE)

U.S. Admiral Warns of ‘Real Possibility’ of Nuclear War

/0 Comments/in , /by

The admiral who heads the US Strategic Command — which is responsible for nuclear deterrence — is calling on the nation’s military and civilian leaders to seek new ways to face threats by Russia and China, including the “real possibility” of nuclear conflict.

Adm. Charles Richard warned that Moscow and Beijing have “begun to aggressively challenge international norms” in “ways not seen since the height of the Cold War.”

“There is a real possibility that a regional crisis with Russia or China could escalate quickly to a conflict involving nuclear weapons, if they perceived a conventional loss would threaten the regime or state,” he wrote in the February issue of Proceedings, the US Naval Institute’s monthly magazine.

“Consequently, the U.S. military must shift its principal assumption from ‘nuclear employment is not possible’ to ‘nuclear employment is a very real possibility,’ and act to meet and deter that reality.”

He added: “We cannot approach nuclear deterrence the same way. It must be tailored and evolved for the dynamic environment we face.” (Read more from “U.S. Admiral Warns of ‘Real Possibility’ of Nuclear War” HERE)

Prostate-Cancer Treatment Leaves Men Disease-Free

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Most people have probably heard or seen examples of sound waves so powerful they can break glass. Now, a new cancer treatment is using sound to destroy tumors and cure men dealing with the disease. The new, noninvasive technique for prostate cancer focuses sound waves on the tumor area, heating the cancer calls until they are blasted out of existence.

“The results so far have been very good,” says the University of Toronto’s Dr. Sangeet Ghai in a media release by the Radiological Society of North America.

“We treated a smaller area using this device, yet still had very good results. At the same time the patients preserved their erectile and urinary function.”

Researchers say the focused treatment is more effective than surgery or radiotherapy, especially for patients whose cancer is still confined to the prostate. (Read more from “Prostate-Cancer Treatment Leaves Men Disease-Free” HERE)

Dems Push Psychological Evaluations for Family Members of Gun Owners

/0 Comments/in , /by

A massive Democratic gun-control plan that could be called the “head shrink job protection bill” would require weapon owners and their family members to undergo “psychological evaluations.”

Gun owners also would have to pay the government $800 in “insurance” fees, and a long list of weapons simply would be banned. .

The bill from U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, follows Joe Biden’s promise during his campaign to put Beto O’Rourke in charge of his gun-control policy after the onetime presidential candidate said, “Hell, yes, we are going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.”

Jackson Lee says the bill should be known as the Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act

It gets right to the point, requiring a “psychological evaluation” that follows standards established by the attorney general. It’s to be done by a “licensed psychologist approved by the attorney general” and to include interviews with “any spouse of the individual, any former spouse … and at least 2 other persons who are a member of the family of, or an associate of, the individual.” (Read more from “Dems Push Psychological Evaluations for Family Members of Gun Owners” HERE)

This COVID Vaccine Is Causing Bizarre Side Effects

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The side effects of COVID-19 vaccinations already have been documented to include a sore arm at the point of the shot, feeling tired, headache, feeling achy, feeling sick, but they are expected not to last more than a week.

But now there’s a new one: COVID arm.

It’s caused by Moderna’s vaccine, and The Sun reports it appears around a week after getting a shot. . .

“We want to reassure people that [COVID arm] is a known phenomenon,” explained Dr. Esther Freedom, of Massachusetts General.

“Having a big red splotch on your arm for a couple of days may not be fun but the reality is there’s no need to panic and no reason not to get your second shot.” (Read more from “This COVID Vaccine Is Causing Bizarre Side Effects” HERE)
