The Trump Administration Is Moving to Implement a 4-Month Eviction Moratorium for Tenants Earning Under 100k a Year

The Trump administration is moving to implement an immediate four-month eviction moratorium that would expire at the end of December for tenants earning below $99,000 a year.

The White House is drawing on federal public health laws under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s purview in an attempt to keep people in their homes, arguing it’s necessary to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

“Today’s announcement from his administration means that people are struggling to pay rent and risk further spreading of exposure to the disease, due to economic hardship,” White House spokesman Brian Morgenstern said in a statement.

The policy applies to single tenants as well as couples earning under $198,000 each year, and doesn’t exclude people who received a stimulus check earlier this year.

Renters must sign a document stating they can’t pay the full rent because of a job loss or medical expenses stemming from the pandemic and say they will pay what they can in the short-term. But it doesn’t waive any rent payments. (Read more from “The Trump Administration Is Moving to Implement a 4-Month Eviction Moratorium for Tenants Earning Under 100k a Year” HERE)

New Strzok-Page Emails Show FBI Investigated President Trump’s Tweets Critical of Obama and FBI

Judicial Watch announced today that it received 323 pages of emails between former FBI official Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page. The records include an email from Strzok to other FBI officials about Trump’s tweets regarding them spying on him, as well as their interaction with other media outlets including CNN.

The records were produced to Judicial Watch in a January 2018 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed after the DOJ failed to respond to a December 2017 request for all communications between Strzok and Page (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-00154)). The FBI is only processing the records at a rate of 500 pages per month and has refused to process text messages. At this rate, the production of these emails will not be completed until late 2021 at the earliest.

On March 18, 2017, Strzok emails his boss, then-Asst. Director for the Counterintelligence Division Bill Priestap, along with colleagues Jon Moffa and Page, about his research into President Trump’s tweets about being wiretapped:

Sending the tweets in question along with posting times. Doing some research, time stamping in Twitter can be glitchy … [T]he tweet times below were all -3 hours from east coast time, which I adjusted (ie, the first listed as 3:35am). I think I recall reporting at the time described the tweets as occurring around 630, not 330.

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism! – Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017 6:35 AM

It Looks Like Biden Is Listening to Those Who Don’t Want Him to Debate Trump (VIDEO)

Building on the groundwork laid by liberals like Nancy Pelosi and the New York Times’ Thomas Friedman – who implored Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to skip the upcoming presidential debates with President Trump, unless Trump agrees to be real-time fact-checked by a media that hates him – Joe Biden called for live fact-checkers on Wednesday. . .

“What I’d love to have is a crawler at the bottom of the screen, a fact-checker as we speak,” Biden continued. “If we really wanted to do something, I think that would make a great, great debate if everything both of us said was instantly fact-checked by an agreed-to group of people out there that we move forward, but that probably wouldn’t get very far in the debate.”

Biden did say that he was looking forward to debating the president, but Biden’s call for “fact-checkers” shows that Biden is clearly listening to voices on the Left who only see disaster ahead for Biden in the live televised debates.

Barr: Advocates of Mail-In Voting Jeopardize Confidence in Election

Attorney General William Barr warned that advocates of mass mail-in voting are preventing public confidence in the upcoming election.

During an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday, Barr said the reason why the United States has not seen examples of widespread voter fraud is because it has not tried mass vote-by-mail. Citing a bipartisan commission on federal election reform, chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker III, he said that the system could enable widespread fraud.

“He said if you expand mail-in voting, this is the president, it’s reckless,” Blitzer said to the attorney general, conveying the concerns of President Trump’s critics.

“Wolf, this is sort of cheap talk to get around the fundamental problem, which is the bipartisan commission, chaired by Jimmy Carter and James Baker, said back in 2009 that mail-in voting is fraught with the risk of fraud and coercion,” Barr responded.

“And since that time, there have been in the newspapers, in networks, academic studies saying it is open to fraud and coercion. The only time the narrative changed is after this administration came in. But elections that have been held with mail have found substantial fraud and coercion,” Barr continued. “For example, we indicted someone in Texas, 1,700 ballots collected from people who could vote. He made them out and voted for the person he wanted to. OK? That kind of thing happens with mail-in ballots.” (Read more from “Barr: Advocates of Mail-In Voting Jeopardize Confidence in Election” HERE)

Why Is NFL Player Drew Brees Wearing the Name of an Alleged Rapist on His Helmet?

Last Friday, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and his team broke with the pack to hold practice as nine other NFL teams canceled theirs in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake. They put Blake’s name in big black letters across the front of their helmets in what Sporstcasting.com writer Stephen Sheehan called “a powerful visual signal.” . . .

If Blake were an innocent family man who just happened to twitch during a tense encounter with police, this would all seem perfectly appropriate. There’s just one problem: not only was Blake aggressively resisting arrest in the incident that’s left him paralyzed, but he also had a warrant out for his arrest due to a charge of sexual assault.

According to research by The New York Post, Blake was forbidden from being at the Kenosha home where he was shot because of an incident at the same residence on May 3, for which there was an open warrant for his arrest. Based on police records, The New York Post describes the alleged assault:

The victim, who is only identified by her initials in the paperwork, told police she was asleep in bed with one of her children when Blake came into the room around 6 a.m. and allegedly said ‘I want my sh-t,’ the record states.

She told cops Blake then used his finger to sexually assault her, sniffed it and said, ‘Smells like you’ve been with other men,’ the criminal complaint alleges.

Antifa ‘Commander’ With Flamethrower Burst Into Tears During Arrest

An Antifa leader known as Commander Red was busted carrying a flamethrower to a Wisconsin Black Lives Matter rally — and “dropped into the fetal position and began crying” when stopped by cops, officials said.

Matthew Banta, 23, is “known to be a violent Antifa member who incites violence in otherwise relatively peaceful protests,” a criminal complaint in his Green Bay arrest record insisted, according to WBAY.

He was carrying stickers and a flag for the controversial group — the name of which is short for “anti-fascist” — along with “military-grade 5-minute” smoke grenades, fireworks rockets, and a flamethrower, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

Banta was stopped after being spotted with “a whole bunch of white people with sticks, baseball bats and helmets” heading toward a BLM event in Green Bay, police said in the criminal complaint.

The others fled when a cop blocked them with his squad car, but Banta was stopped and “dropped into the fetal position and began crying,” the police report said. He complained that the officer got on top of him, which police denied, WBAY said. (Read more from “Antifa ‘Commander’ With Flamethrower Burst Into Tears During Arrest” HERE)

Jacob Blake Sr. Has Long History of Racist, Antisemitic, Anti-Christian Posts; Set to Meet Joe Biden

Jacob Blake Sr., the father of the man shot Aug. 23 by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, appears to have a long history of racist, antisemitic, and anti-Christian posts on Facebook. He is set to meet with Democratic Party presidential nominee Joe Biden on Thursday.

Blake Sr. has been a ubiquitous presence on television and at Black Lives Matter protests since his son, Jacob Blake Jr., 29, was shot seven times while allegedly resisting arrest. The younger Blake is currently hospitalized, paralyzed from the waist down. Riots erupted in Kenosha in the aftermath of the event, destroying many businesses and leading to a deadly shooting.

Blake Sr.’s social media posts, particularly on Facebook, reveal radical political views and extreme racist rhetoric. On Instagram, where Blake Sr. appears to have had a much more limited presence, he posted a video about the Sep. 11, 2001 terror attacks: “Man, I give a f*** about 9/11.” He went on to cite the killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice by police in Cleveland in 2014. . .

A search through the other posts on that Facebook account reveals a timeline replete with bigoted statements, such as:

– “A jew can’t tell me s**t period”

Report: Woman Assaulted Child Over Trump Yard Sign

Boulder police are investigating a report that a 12-year-old boy was assaulted over a President Donald Trump yard sign.

According to Boulder police, the assault occurred at 3 p.m. Monday at Folsom Street and Glenwood Drive.

Police said the boy was riding his bicycle with the Trump sign when a woman on a moped saw the sign and turned around to confront the boy.

Boulder police spokeswoman Shannon Aulabaugh said the suspect drove up to the boy and said something to the effect of “you want something to look at,” and used a closed fist to strike the boy in the back of the head and arms four to five times, and scratched him. . .

The suspect was described as a white female in her 20s or 30s wearing a tan jacket, blue shirt and blue jeans. The moped she was riding was gray or blue in color. (Read more from “Report: Woman Assaulted Child Over Trump Yard Sign” HERE)

Bloomberg-Funded Group: Trump May Win Election Night, But Joe Biden Will Win Days Later Due to Mail-in Votes; Mass Vote-By-Mail Really Does Invite Fraud — We Need to Guard Against It

By Breitbart. An analytics firm bankrolled by billionaire Michael Bloomberg is predicting that while President Trump will appear to win on November 3, Democrat Joe Biden will actually win the election days later due to mail-in voting.

Josh Mendelsohn, the CEO of Hawkfish — funded by Bloomberg and currently working for various pro-Biden super PACs — told Axios that his firm predicts a “red mirage” where Trump wins on election day but Biden wins the election days later when mail-in votes are counted:

The reason we talk about a red mirage is in fact because we believe that on election night, we are going to see Donald Trump in a stronger position than the reality actually is. We are sounding the alarm and saying that this is a very real possibility, that the data is going to show on election night an incredible victory for Donald Trump. That is likely to be what we see.

Mendelsohn claims it could take weeks before Trump’s election night victory is chipped away at by mail-in votes that will show Biden as the winner.

Specifically, Hawkfish’s models predict that 4-in-10 voters this year will vote by mail. Electorally, Hawkfish’s models predict Trump could win 408 electoral votes on election night to Biden’s 130 if 15 percent of total mail-in votes are counted.

Mass Vote-By-Mail Really Does Invite Fraud — We Need to Guard Against It

By New York Post. Voting fraud, especially via mail-in ballots, is a cinch to pull off, warns a top Democratic operative, who’s done it repeatedly. Yet voting by mail will be a huge part of the November election. Which is why officials need to plug the holes now.

Fixing ballots “is a real thing” and plenty common, says the insider in Jon Levine’s eye-opener in Sunday’s Post. States, he pleads, need to address major security gaps to protect the November election.

Indeed, as few as 500 or 1,000 votes can be enough “to flip” entire states, notes the source, who (as The Post confirmed) has worked in numerous legislative, mayoral and congressional races across the tri-state area. . .

Thanks to the pandemic, 20 states (including New York) have changed their rules to make it far easier to vote by mail, The Washington Post reports. Even before that, 34 states let anyone vote absentee.

So 83 percent of voters nationwide can vote by mail this fall; nearly 100 million will get applications or ballots automatically, a massive opening for fraudsters. (Read more from “Mass Vote-By-Mail Really Does Invite Fraud — We Need to Guard Against It” HERE)

Tucker Carlson Airs Audio Secretly Recorded by Michael Cohen of Cuomo Denying Sexual Harassment Allegations

Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired a damaging private audio clip of CNN’s Chris Cuomo discussing sexual harassment claims made against him on his Fox News show Tuesday.

Cuomo appeared to be talking to Michael Cohen, the former friend and attorney to President Donald Trump, on the recording.

“You know, I’m always careful when I talk to media. Do you know how many f***ing phone calls I’ve gotten from people at ABC who say that reporters are calling and lying about things they’ve heard about me, to try to get stories about me when I was at ABC?” Cuomo said on the recording.

“Guys calling and saying, ‘I heard he was the Charlie Rose of ABC. He used to invite women to a hotel and open his bathrobe.’ Do I look like the kind of f***ing guy who’s gotta do that?” Cuomo asked. . .

“Women who do work there saying, ‘Oh yeah, you know, some of these men,’ naming me with other guys. ‘You know, we bumped into each other once in the elevator, and he put his hand on my shoulder, and he made me really uncomfortable,'” Cuomo continued on the recording.
