Twitter ‘Mistakenly’ Censors Photos of Overflow Cells

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twitter censored exclusive photos from Project Veritas showing thousands of immigrants sleeping on the floor in tight quarters at a Texas detention center, hiding the content behind a filter marked “potentially sensitive.” Twitter later reversed the censorship, calling it an error.

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe posted a video featuring a compilation of the photos to Twitter on Monday morning. The video was promptly hidden behind a filter claiming the content was “potentially sensitive,” requiring users with the sensitive content filter to click through the warning message in order to see it.

A Twitter spokeswoman told Breitbart News that the “potentially sensitive content” warning was “incorrectly applied by one of our automated tools and it has since been removed.” (Read more from “Twitter ‘Mistakenly’ Censors Photos of Overflow Cells” HERE)

Holy Bible Blasted as ‘Bigoted Document’: Equality Act ‘Explicitly Targets’ Scripture

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Democrats’ Equality Act “explicitly targets” the Bible with provisions that erase any allowance for differences between men and women, warns Yaakov Menken, the managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values. . .

The Equality Act would ban Jews from gathering to celebrate such religious education “or any other occasion, in accordance with their beliefs.”

“The reason is simple: not only prayer services, but family lifecycle events of all kinds – from circumcisions to bar mitzvahs to weddings to funerals – are commonly divided by biological sex in traditional Orthodox Judaism. This is true whether or not ceremonies are held in synagogues,” Menken explained. . .

“Stripping this protection from religious practice cannot be described as incidental. The Equality Act claims the notion that marriage is between a man and a woman is merely a ‘sex stereotype,’ and that opposition to same-sex marriage is inherently discriminatory. Any ‘discrimination’ on the basis of ‘gender identity’ is likewise prohibited, even in the private sector,” said Menken.

“Thus, the Equality Act explicitly targets the Bible, calling it a bigoted document filled with discriminatory stereotypes. These include the idea that male and female sexes are biological, not psychological (Genesis 1:27), created with procreation in mind (1:28), and that marriage is the unique, holy contract between man and woman forming the environment in which that procreation is intended to take place (2:24). And one cannot forget that which the Bible proscribes as an ‘abomination’ in Leviticus 18:22.

Judge Denies Ghislaine Maxwell’s Third Bail Request

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge ruled against Ghislaine Maxwell’s third attempt for bail Monday.

Maxwell’s latest proposition, giving up her French and British citizenship, among other things, would not change U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan’s assessment that the British socialite with ties to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is a flight risk.

Maxwell “poses a risk of flight and that there are no combination of conditions that can reasonably assure her appearance,” and noted that she “continues to have substantial international ties, familial and personal connections abroad, substantial financial resources, and experience evading detection,” the judge said, according to the Washington Post. . .

Her first attempt at making bail occurred after she was arrested initially, and the second effort took place in December 2020 when she tried to post a $28.5 million with the assistance of “a handful of close family and friends” but was subsequently rejected by the Manhattan Federal Court.

Discrimination: Health Insurance Company Asks Managers Not To Hire White Men

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Cigna — one of the country’s largest heath insurance providers — has reportedly encouraged hiring managers to avoid hiring white males at the company.

According to a Friday report from the Washington Examiner, employees at the company have been “asked not to consider white men in hiring decisions.”

Citing leaked training documents and chat logs, the outlet noted that Cigna employees are also expected to undergo “racist and discriminatory” sensitivity training on topics such as “white privilege,” “gender privilege,” and “religious privilege.”

“Chat logs between an employee and a hiring manager viewed by the Washington Examiner detail an incident where a minority candidate with strong credentials performed exceptionally well in an interview,” the outlet noted. “When that employee suggested to the hiring manager that the company wave the candidate through to the next step in the process, the hiring manager dismissed the candidate under the assumption he was white.” . . .

One employee told the outlet, “Given the hiring practices they have in place where white, male candidates are blocked, regardless of qualifications, I have to say, ‘Yes, there’s obvious discrimination at this company.'” (Read more from “Discrimination: Health Insurance Company Asks Managers Not To Hire White Men” HERE)

With Children Fully Indoctrinated, Schools Have a New Target

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s no longer a surprise to hear about public schools using their access to impressionable children to push divisive ideas about politics and race. But now it has escalated to a new level: using their taxpayer-funded budgets to shape the views of adults who live nearby.

For example, in Pennsylvania, Seria Chatters, Director of Equity and Inclusivity for the State College Area School District, wrote to parents to have them “learn more about race and racism… through the Parent and Community Book Club!” The book club would not be for cultivating a love of literature; rather, the choices were “White Fragility” by Robin DiAngelo, “Between the World and Me” by Ta-Nehisi Coates, “EveryDay AntiRacism,” edited by Mica Pollack, and “Race Talk and the Conspiracy of Silence” by Derald Wing Sue.

Even more surprising, it is often the Parent Teacher Association (PTA), a group that seemingly represents parents’ interests, that has instead taken to gathering adults so they can be influenced by the growing mass of school race or “equity” departments.

In Pinellas County, Florida, diversity honchos are subjecting parents of elementary school students to optional anti-racist training. The recurring event “Let’s Talk About Race: An educational series for North Shore families, friends, and teachers,” is “a training series hosted by the North Shore Elementary PTA about race and racism [and] how it affects almost every aspect of American life,” according to materials obtained by The Daily Wire.

Federal Judge: ‘One-Party Control of the Press and Media Is a Threat To a Viable Democracy’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The control of major media by one political party is a dangerous threat to the country, a federal judge warned in a blistering dissent that called for courts to revisit libel laws that generally protect the press from being held liable for their reporting.

“It should be borne in mind that the first step taken by any potential authoritarian or dictatorial regime is to gain control of communications, particularly the delivery of news,” wrote Judge Laurence Silberman of the D.C. Circuit for the Court of Appeals. “It is fair to conclude, therefore, that one-party control of the press and media is a threat to a viable democracy.”

Silberman argued that it’s time for courts to revisit New York Times v. Sullivan, which has shaped press law in favor of media outlets for more than five decades. The New York Times and the Washington Post “are virtually Democratic Party broadsheets. And the news section of The Wall Street Journal leans in the same direction,” Judge Silberman wrote in his March 19 dissent.

He said that orientation also controls the Associated Press and most large papers in the country, including the Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, and Boston Globe. “Nearly all television—network and cable—is a Democratic Party trumpet,” Judge Silberman added.

Silicon Valley also has “enormous influence” over the distribution of news and it “similarly filters news delivery in ways favorable to the Democratic Party,” wrote Judge Silberman, highlighting the shocking suppression of stories about Joe Biden and his family when he was running for president.

Trump Believes Kamala May Replace Joe as President

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump on Monday said that he expected President Biden’s fall on the steps of Air Force One — and that he also believes Biden’s mental state may be diminished to the point that he may not understand what he’s signing, opening the door to Kamala Harris replacing him. . .

Trump told Newsmax host Greg Kelly that he believes that Biden may also be in mental decline and too confused to read the papers he signs containing presidential dictates.

“There’s something going on, it’s crazy. What’s happening is crazy and you wonder whether or not all of the things that he’s signing, whether or not he understands what he’s signing, because this is worse than Bernie Sanders at its worst point. We never thought this could happen. Bernie Sanders on steroids wouldn’t be signing what this guy is signing,” Trump said.

Trump frequently said during the presidential campaign last year that Biden, 78, is “gone” mentally and taunted that Democrats were interested in using the 25th Amendment to replace him shortly after the election with Harris.

The former president told Kelly he still believes it’s possible, acknowledging Biden’s gaffe last week in which he addressed the vice president as “President Harris.” (Read more from “Trump Believes Kamala May Replace Joe as President” HERE)

‘Fake News’ N.Y. Times: Satire Site Babylon Bee ‘Trafficked In Misinformation’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Babylon Bee is a satire site that has poked fun at conservatives and evangelicals over the years, but the New York Times isn’t laughing about the Bee’s regular use of ironic humor to illuminate the ideas and policies of the political left.

The Times published a story on the inability of Facebook’s “fake news” algorithms to distinguish satire from regular news stories, noted the Media Research Center’s Newsbuster’s site.

The Times headline, “For Political Cartoonists, the Irony Was That Facebook Didn’t Recognize Irony,” indicated the paper finally was defending the Bee after “ham-handed censorship” by Facebook, Newsbusters said. . .

But Times technology reporter Mike Isaac, Newsbusters said, “uncorked another Times attack on the satire site, again ludicrously attacking it as ‘misinformation,’ an angle the paper would never consider with the leftist satire of The Onion.”

The Times said: “The Babylon Bee, a right-leaning site, sometimes trafficked in misinformation under the guise of satire.” (Read more from “‘Fake News’ N.Y. Times: Satire Site Babylon Bee ‘Trafficked In Misinformation'” HERE)

Colorado Is One of Few U.S. States with Universal Background Checks for Gun Purchases

/0 Comments/in , /by

Colorado is one of the few states in the Union that has the Democrats’ highly desired universal background check gun controls.

Gabby Giffords’ gun control group describes Colorado’s background check gun control as “universal background checks,” which means private sales require the same background check as a retail sale.

Moreover, firearm dealers “may charge a fee of up to $10 for conducting a background check” on a private sale.

Colorado adopted universal background checks in 2013, just months after the heinous attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School. . .

Despite universal backgroud checks, suspect Ahmad Alissa, 21 of Arvada, CO, allegedly opened fire on customers at a Boulder grocery store Monday. (Read more from “Colorado Is One of Few U.S. States with Universal Background Checks for Gun Purchases” HERE)

Republicans Drawing New Battle Lines in Heated Defense Budget Fight

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans are pushing hard for a large defense budget in the face of growing military threats from China.

Members of the House Armed Services Committee said a reduction or stagnation in the country’s defense spending would play into Beijing’s hands. China continues to catch up to the United States in key areas of military strength, such as naval power, high-tech weapons, and infrastructure, as well as its nuclear weapons stockpile. Early reports indicate President Joe Biden’s first Pentagon budget could bottom out at around $696 billion, below the $722 billion recommendation from the Trump administration for the 2022 fiscal year.

Rep. Don Bacon (R., Neb.) said failing to support a large defense budget would be “reckless” and threaten to undo years of progress.

“We spent four years digging out of a readiness and training hole and getting our modernization on track. Now the far left wants to take us backward,” Bacon said. “They don’t believe in peace through strength, and their call for deep cuts is reckless to our nation’s security.” (Read more from “Republicans Drawing New Battle Lines in Heated Defense Budget Fight” HERE)
