Governor Offers To Absorb Three Counties From Neighboring State

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Republican West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice announced Friday that three western Maryland counties would be welcome to secede and join his state.

“We welcome these counties and would be tickled to death to have them and the great folks of that incredible state,” Justice said in a press release. State lawmakers representing Allegany, Garrett and Washington Counties submitted letters Thursday to West Virginia Senate President Craig Blair and State House Speaker Roger Hanshaw requesting that the West Virginia legislature approve legislation allowing them to join the state.

Allegany, Garrett and Washington are the three of the most Republican counties in traditionally Democratic Maryland. Then-President Donald Trump won all three, putting up his two highest margin victories in Garrett and Allegany. They were represented in the House by Republican Roscoe Bartlett until 2010, when the Maryland state legislature redrew his district to include Montgomery County suburbs.

Father of Loudon County Assault Victim Labeled Domestic Terrorist; Transgender Suspect Found Guilty Of Assault

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. The Loudoun County father whose daughter was allegedly sexually assaulted by a transgender student in a school bathroom has demanded that the National School Boards Association apologize for suggesting his actions at a June 22 school board meeting were akin to a form of domestic terrorism.

The attorneys for Scott Smith and his family are asking the NSBA for a written apology and full retraction after the organization’s Sept. 29 letter to the White House implied that their client was a domestic terrorist when it asked for federal assistance to curb the “growing number of threats of violence and acts of intimidation” posed against school officials by parents that “could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.”

“We respectfully request that you take the right and proper course of action and issue an immediate and public written apology to Scott Smith for falsely branding him a ‘domestic terrorist,'” The Stanley Law Group said in its letter to the NSBA. “We further demand the NSBA immediately and publicly retract its false and defamatory assertion that Scott Smith is a ‘domestic terrorist’ in its September 29th letter to President Biden.” . . .

“I am a father who cares deeply for his daughter, who would go to the ends of the earth to protect both her and other students who attend public school in Loudoun County from suffering what she has suffered due to the misguided social policies adopted by the Loudoun County School Board. I am not a ‘domestic terrorist,'” Smith said in a press release from his attorneys.

“The NSBA defamed me, impugning my reputation and that of other concerned parents who dared challenge our local school board. I am owed an apology and I deserve one, he continued. “I demand the NSBA retract its statement that I am a ‘domestic terrorist,’ or I will have no other choice but to seek a court to do it for them.” (Read more from “Father of Loudon County Assault Victim Labeled Domestic Terrorist” HERE)

Teen Suspect Found Guilty in Loudoun County School Bathroom Assault

By ABC News 7. The 7News I-Team has learned that the teen suspect in a sex assault at Stone Bridge High School in Loudoun County in May has been found guilty on all charges.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Department confirmed earlier this month that a sexual assault did happen inside a bathroom at Stone Bridge High School on May 28. They said in a statement Wednesday that they arrested a 14-year-old boy in the case.

The victim’s legal team, The Stanley Law Group, tells 7News that the Judge determined that there were facts sufficient that the defendant committed a forcible assault.

Scott Smith, the father of the victim, spoke to 7News investigator Scott Taylor four months after he was arrested at a Loudoun County school board meeting. He said he went there looking for answers after his daughter was assaulted. (Read more from “Teen Suspect Found Guilty in Loudoun County School Bathroom Assault” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , /by

The anti-Biden rallying cry “Let’s Go Brandon” is taking over iTunes, with rapper Bryson Gray’s song poking fun at the president sitting in the No. 1 spot of the music service’s chart on Monday, ranking ahead of pop music superstar Adele’s latest single.

“Let’s Go Brandon,” which takes multiple shots at Biden regarding his chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal, cognitive ability and handling of the coronavirus, features Tyson James and Chandler Crump.

Gray’s “Let’s Go Brandon” music video features the rapper in a “Make America Great Again” hat with an “Impeach Biden” t-shirt as lyrics such as “Let’s go Brandon, when you ask questions they start banning.’” (Read more from “Anti-Biden Rap Song Takes Top Spot on Itunes Chart” HERE)

How Facebook Decides Who Gets Protected From Fake News, Hate Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

Facebook in 2019 began classifying countries in a “tier” system that dictated the amount of resources used to moderate content posted on the platform in those nations, according to a new report.

The prioritizing system placed the United States, Brazil and India in “tier zero” — meaning more resources were dedicated to moderating content and enforcing Facebook’s regulations in those countries, The Verge reported Monday.

Israel, Germany, Indonesia and Iran were categorized in “tier one,” so Facebook committed slightly less to enforcement of its rules and election integrity safeguards, according to the technology news outlet. Facebook reportedly formed “war rooms” for content moderation in those countries, including on elections.

Twenty-two countries were placed in “tier one” but did not have dedicated “war rooms,” and Facebook put the rest of the globe in “tier three,” which meant the platform only took action on rule-violating election-related content if it was flagged by moderators.

Bidenflation Stole Christmas: Consumer Prices Up, Retail Spending Plans Not

/0 Comments/in , /by

There are likely to be fewer gifts under Christmas trees this year thanks to inflation running so much hotter than expected.

Consumers plan to spend $997.73 on gifts, holiday items, and other non-gift purchases for themselves and their families this year, according to the annual survey released Thursday by the National Retail Federation and Prosper Insights & Analytics.

That’s around what consumers spent last year, the National Retail Federation said.

But prices are much higher. Compared with a year ago, consumer prices are 5.4 percent higher. Adjusted for inflation, holiday sending looks set to fall.

To put it slightly differently, if families this year spend just about what they did last year, they are going to have to settle for fewer gifts. (Read more from “Bidenflation Stole Christmas: Consumer Prices Up, Retail Spending Plans Not” HERE)

‘An Outrage Against Democracy’: JFK’s Nephews Urge Biden to Reveal Assassination Records

/1 Comment/in , /by

Two nephews of John F. Kennedy are calling on the Biden administration to release the final trove of secret documents on the 1963 assassination of the former president.

The records were scheduled to be made public Tuesday, but the White House announced late Friday night that it would delay their publication until at least Dec. 15 — and perhaps longer if President Joe Biden determines it’s in the nation’s best interest to keep them confidential.

“It’s an outrage. It’s an outrage against American democracy. We’re not supposed to have secret governments within the government,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told POLITICO. “How the hell is it 58 years later, and what in the world could justify not releasing these documents?”

His cousin, former Rhode Island Rep. Patrick Kennedy, said the records should be released not because of his family, but because American citizens have a right to know about “something that left such a scar in this nation’s soul that lost not only a president but a promise of a brighter future.” (Read more from “‘An Outrage Against Democracy’: JFK’s Nephews Urge Biden to Reveal Assassination Records” HERE)

2nd Day of Hunter Biden’s NYC Art Show Attended by Just 3 Visitors

/0 Comments/in , /by

The second day of Hunter Biden’s art show in New York City featured a small number of attendees, with a total of three visitors allowed entrance to the event.

The art gallery utilized a team of lawyers to vet anyone who desired to see the show, making it nearly impossible for normal visitors to attend the event. Some who were denied access to the event had to peer inside through the windows to get a glimpse of Biden’s art, according to the New York Post. . .

The three who did enter the gallery had mostly positive reviews. A Republican man who identified himself as “Sal” from New Jersey shared positive feelings toward Biden’s artworks, saying, “his paintings were very good.” Though impressed with the artwork, Sal did not say if he intends to buy any of it, the outlet reported.

Osvaldo Jimenez, a visitor denied access to the art gallery, said the best thing the art gallery did “was not let me in.” Pointing in the direction of Prince Street, Jimenez said a booth over there “has better work than this s—t,” according to the outlet.

MLB Moved All-Star Game Out of Atlanta Over Voting Rights. Now the Atlanta Braves Are in the World Series.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Back in April, Major League Baseball decided to punish Atlanta by moving the 2021 All-Star game out of the city in response to a Georgia voting law signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) in March. The game was instead played in Denver, Colorado, which as Katie highlighted, actually has fewer early voting days than Georgia. Well, the Atlanta Braves have gone and made it to the World Series after defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers Saturday night in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS), 4-2.

Gov. Kemp called out his 2018 gubernatorial opponent, Stacey Abrams, who has continued to spread lies about that election.

Hilarious Retraction: Washington Post ‘Forced To Admit They Lied’ After Pretending ‘F**K Joe Biden’ Chant Was ‘Let’s Go, Brandon’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Washington Post, the leftist legacy media outlet whose motto is “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” admitted to publishing fake news about the public’s discontent with floundering President Joe Biden.

During a September speech by Donald Trump Jr. in Georgia, the crowd broke into a “F*ck Joe Biden” chant at the prompting of the former president’s son. The Post, in a story titled “Biden’s critics hurl increasingly vulgar taunts,” falsely claimed the crowd was cheering “Let’s Go, Brandon.”

As GOP strategist Arthur Schwartz pointed out on Twitter, “Let’s Go, Brandon” did not come about until October 2. The chant originated after NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast awkwardly attempted to run cover for the president as she interviewed NASCAR Xfinity Series race winner Brandon Brown after the race. As she spoke to Brown, the crowd in the stands spontaneously broke out in a chant of “F*ck Joe Biden,” live on the air.

Stavast absurdly claimed that the crowd was chanting, “Let’s Go, Brandon.”

“Brandon, you also told me,” Stavast said before being interrupted by the crowd. “As you can hear the chants from the crowd…” she added, before claiming that the crowd was saying, “Let’s Go, Brandon.”

DHS Building 455K Fence Around Biden Property Despite Halting Border Wall Construction

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is building a nearly half a million dollar security fence around Democrat President Joe Biden’s beach home in Delaware.

The move comes after the administration halted construction of the border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and has canceled contracts related to the wall’s construction, which comes as the administration’s policies have been blamed for causing a historic flood of illegal immigration into the U.S. through the southern border.

The New York Post reported:

In September, the department awarded a contract of $456,548 to Turnstone Holdings LLC for “PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF SECURITY FENCING AT 32 FARVIEW, REHOBOTH DELAWARE,” according to USAspending.gov, an online database tracking federal government spending. The contract started Sept. 21 and is expected to end Dec. 31. Construction of the fence is expected to end by that date.

The DHS is listed as the main awarding and funding office of the contract while the US Secret Service is listed as the subagency. Additional information and details about the fence have not been publicly released.
