The Left Is Wielding a Devastating Weapon Against Free Speech. These Stories Show Dangerous Trend

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Atlantic Editor in Chief Jeffrey Goldberg fired Williamson after left-wing group Media Matters dug up a September 2014 podcast where Williamson reiterated his belief, first articulated in a single tweet, that women who obtain abortions should be prosecuted for murder. Hanging was the conservative writer’s preferred form of capital punishment because “if the state is going to do violence, let’s make it violence,” Williamson said . . .

Media Matters has been waging censorship campaigns against right-of-center voices for years. The group’s left-wing donors, including billionaire George Soros, have allowed it to wage all-out war against conservatives for the better part of a decade.

Fox News fired former hosts Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly after advertisers fled their shows under pressure from Media Matters. Sean Hannity has faced ongoing boycotts since May 2017, as part of a coordinated campaign meant to take down the pro-Trump Fox News host . . .

Two left-wing gun control groups, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense and Everytown for Gun Safety, tried to pressure Amazon, Apple and Google into banning NRA media-arm NRATV from their streaming platforms. So far, those efforts have been unsuccessful.

Another activist group, Sleeping Giants, targeted Breitbart News’ advertisers with overwhelming success: 90 percent of advertisers fled Breitbart in just two months, and the website has continued bleeding advertisers since then.

Former Trump Campaign Manager Explodes in House Intel Probe, Defends Using F-Bomb to Get Through to Thick-Skulled Dems

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Bizpac Review. Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski cursed at Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee during an interview in March, saying, “I’m not answering your f—ing question.”

That’s what four anonymous sources told CNN, who claimed Lewandowski got heated when they kept asking repetitive questions about possible coordination between the Trump 2016 campaign and Russian officials.

Lewandowski did not deny cursing during his interview with the House Intelligence Committee, saying he got annoyed because the Democrats kept asking him the same question over and over again and he had to repeat the same answer.

“I had to repeat on multiple occasions that there was no collusion, cooperation, or coordination because the Democrats couldn’t understand my plain English way of speaking.”

However, Lewandowski insisted that the Democrats cursed at him first, and he merely returned the favor. “I felt the need to respond in kind,” he said. “The language they used in the Committee was appalling.” (Read more from “Former Trump Campaign Manager Explodes in House Intel Probe, Defends Using F-Bomb to Get Through to Thick-Skulled Dems” HERE)

Lewandowski to House Intel Dems: ‘I’m Not Answering Your F—Ing Question’: Report

By The Hill. Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski reportedly shouted and cursed at Democratic lawmakers during an interview with the House Intelligence Committee earlier this month.

CNN reported Thursday that Lewandowski’s interview with the panel became heated and resulted in the former Trump aide swearing at Democrats on the panel, including California Rep. Jackie Speier.

“I’m not answering your f—ing question,” Lewandowski shouted at the lawmakers at one point, according to four CNN sources. They added that the lobbyist “repeatedly” swore at the lawmakers, who were investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and any possible coordination with the Trump campaign.

Speier reportedly pushed back, along with other lawmakers, but were unable to convince him to answer further questions . . .

The meeting between the former aide and the House Intelligence Committee is Lewandowski’s second, after he initially refused to answer questions about his work on President Trump’s transition team during an interview with the panel in January.

Michelle Obama Makes Creepy Comparison to Trump, Says Barack Was the ‘Good Parent’ in White House

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Bizpac Review. Former first lady Michelle Obama took a few jabs at President Donald Trump on Thursday at the Simmons Leadership Conference in Boston, even suggesting that her husband, Barack Obama, was the “good parent” in comparison to Trump.

“I think what we see is what happens when we take things for granted,” Obama told Simmons College President Helen Drinan, according to The Hill. “For the eight years Barack was president, it was like having the ‘good parent’ at home. The responsible parent, the one who told you to eat your carrots and go to bed on time.”

“And now we have the other parent,” Obama continued, referencing President Trump. “We thought it’d feel fun, maybe it feels fun for now because we can eat candy all day and stay up late and not follow the rules.”

Obama’s seemingly innocous”parent” jabs echo the Democrats deep desire for a nanny state.

Like Hillary, Mrs. Obama blamed women for not being brave enough to vote for another woman. She also echoed Hillary Clinton’s Orwellian desire to “shape” children from the Oval Office in her comments about President Obama being a “parent.”

Michelle Obama: My Husband Was ‘the Good Parent’ Compared to Trump

By The Hill. Former first lady Michelle Obama likened her husband’s presidency to having “the good parent” at home at a women’s leadership conference on Thursday.

At the Simmons Leadership Conference in Boston, Obama appeared to take shots at President Trump’s administration in remarks first reported by local TV station WBZ.

The Obama administration “was like having the ‘good parent’ at home,” the former first lady said. “The responsible parent, the one who told you to eat your carrots and go to bed on time.”

“And now we have the other parent,” Obama added. “We thought it’d feel fun — maybe it feels fun for now because we can eat candy all day and stay up late and not follow the rules.”

During the wide-ranging discussion, Obama also offered praise for Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic nominee and the first woman to secure the nomination of a major U.S. political party. (Read more from “Michelle Obama: My Husband Was ‘the Good Parent’ Compared to Trump” HERE)

FBI Seizes Website Linked to Sex Crimes; Owners Donated to Democrats

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. On Friday, the U.S. government seized Backpage.com as part of a law enforcement action by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies after the site came under intense legal scrutiny for allegations of facilitating sex trafficking and underage prostitution.

An FBI official said that there was “law enforcement activity” at the home of Michael Lacey, one of the website’s founders, at his home in Arizona, Reuters reported. The seizure banner on the website stated:

backpage.com and affiliated websites have been seized as part of an enforcement action by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division, with analytical assistance from the Joint Regional Intelligence Center.

Other agencies participating in and supporting the enforcement action include the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, the office of the California Attorney General, and the office of the Texas Attorney General.

. . .

The owners of the website have given tens of thousands of dollars to Democrats in recent years, including a Super PAC backed by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the failed presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, Democratic candidate for governor in Arizona David Garcia, and the Arizona Democratic Party (Read more from “FBI Seizes Website Linked to Sex Crimes; Owners Donated to Democrats” HERE)

Online Advertising Site Backpage.com Was Seized by the FBI

By Business Insider. People navigating to the popular classified advertising website Backpage.com on Friday afternoon were stopped by a notice informing them that the site “and all affiliated websites” had been seized by federal authorities.

The site is known for facilitating adult sex ads, and has recently been involved in a number of lawsuits, including one in which a minor alleged that the company edited the contents of a sex ad that her trafficker posted, in order to make her sound like an adult.

Authorities — including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, five other federal agencies, and four state agencies — involved in the case have not shared the exact reason for the seizure. The Department of Justice declined to comment beyond the information in the notice.

The seizure comes a little over a month after Congress passed a law creating stronger rules and penalties to prevent websites from facilitating sex trafficking. On March 23, Craiglist preemptively removed its personals section in fear of violating the law, which penalizes wrongdoers with a fine, up to 10 years in prison, or both.

A woman from upstate New York has been charged with the gruesome murder of her 7-year-old son.

‘Nightmare Bacteria’ Cases Seen in 27 States

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Fox News. More than 220 cases of a breed of “nightmare bacteria” with new or rare antibiotic-resistant genes, have been found in 27 states, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report released Tuesday.

The CDC has warned of the antibiotic-resistant bacteria for years, but these “nightmare bacteria” are “virtually untreatable” and capable of spreading genes that make them “impervious” to most antibiotics, Scientific American reported.

The nightmare bacteria are particularly deadly in the elderly and people with chronic illnesses, as up to 50 percent of the resulting infections are fatal, Dr. Anne Schuchat, the CDC’s principal deputy director, told the magazine.

Schuchat said at a news conference that the CDC was working to get “in front of them before they do become common,” Live Science reported. (Read more from “‘Nightmare Bacteria’ Cases Seen in 27 States” HERE)

New ‘Nightmare’ Bacteria Are Popping up All Over the U.S.

By Live Science. What’s worse than “nightmare” bacteria that are resistant to nearly all antibiotics? New nightmare bacteria that have the potential to spread their resistance genes to germs in hospitals around the country.

Researchers say that last year, they identified more than 200 cases of these “nightmare” bacteria with new or rare antibiotic-resistance genes, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These rare types of antibiotic-resistant bacteria popped up all over the country, in 27 states.

The good news is that researchers have come up with an aggressive strategy to identify, track and contain these germs, which appears to help stop their spread, according to the report. (Read more from “New ‘Nightmare’ Bacteria Are Popping up All Over the U.S.” HERE)

Explosive Device Detonated in a Sam’s Club; Second Device Found in Suspect’s Car

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. An explosive device was detonated in aisle 4 of the Ontario, California Sam’s Club on Thursday. No one was hurt in the incident.

Initially reported as a structure fire when a 911 caller described a “popping sound” within the store, authorities later discovered that the small explosion was intentionally set.

Witness Norman Svikss recalled the incident, saying “It wasn’t like an earth-shaking big explosion. It was like a slow sound, like ‘boom.’ And there’s no smoke, nothing. Then the employees start running around and then they slowly said, ‘Hey, we have to evacuate the building,’ because it’s fire or something.”

After a brief chase, a male suspect was taken into custody when law enforcement detained the individual in a traffic stop three miles from the Sam’s Club. Authorities searched the vehicle and found another (possibly explosive) device. (Read more from “Explosive Device Detonated in a Sam’s Club; Second Device Found in Suspect’s Car” HERE)

Billionaire Soros Is Receiving Handouts – Taxpayers Aren’t Going to Be Happy About This

/0 Comments/in , /by

By WND. Billionaire hedge fund manager George Soros is known for donating hundreds of millions of dollars to support progressive causes . . .

Now it’s been revealed that American taxpayers are helping foot the bill for Soros causes.

Washington watchdog Judicial Watch obtained 32 pages of records “showing the Obama administration sent U.S. taxpayers’ funds to a group backed by billionaire George Soros, which used the money to fund left-wing political activities in Albania.”

Such work included “working with the country’s socialist government to push for highly controversial judicial ‘reform,’” Judicial Watch said. “The records also detail how the Soros operation helped the State Department review grant applications from other groups for taxpayer funding.”

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said the Obama administration “quietly spent at least $9 million in U.S. taxpayers’ dollars in direct collusion with left-wing billionaire George Soros’ backing of a socialist government in Albania.” (Read more from “Billionaire Soros Is Receiving Handouts – Taxpayers Aren’t Going to Be Happy About This” HERE)

Judicial Watch: State Department Records Show Obama Administration Helped Fund George Soros’ Left-Wing Political Activities in Albania

By Judicial Watch. Judicial Watch obtained 32 pages of records showing the Obama administration sent U.S. taxpayers’ funds to a group backed by billionaire George Soros, which used the money to fund left-wing political activities in Albania, including working with the country’s socialist government to push for highly controversial judicial “reform.” The records also detail how the Soros operation helped the State Department review grant applications from other groups for taxpayer funding.

The records were obtained in a May 26, 2017, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) after both the State Department and USAID failed to respond to March 31, 2017, FOIA requests (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (No. 1:17-cv-01012)). Judicial Watch agreed to dismiss the lawsuit after it received the documents and payment of attorneys’ fees.

The new documents show USAID funds were funneled through that agency’s Civil Society Project to back Soros’s left-wing Open Society Foundations in Albania, particularly the Soros operation efforts to give the socialist government greater control of the judiciary. USAID reportedly gave $9 million in 2016 to the “Justice for All” campaign, which is overseen by Soros’s “East West Management Institute.”

In March 2017, a group of six U.S. Senators led by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) sent a letter to then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson asking that he investigate charges that the U.S. government was using taxpayer funds to assist Soros in Albania. The letter said, “Foundation Open society-Albania and its experts, with funding from USAID, have created the controversial Strategy Document for Albanian Judicial Reform. Some leaders believe that these ‘reforms’ are ultimately aimed to give the Prime Minister and left-of-center government full control over the judiciary.” In the Albanian parliament, opposition leaders have labeled the Strategy “a Soros-sponsored reform.” (Read more from “Judicial Watch: State Department Records Show Obama Administration Helped Fund George Soros’ Left-Wing Political Activities in Albania” HERE)

Nancy Pelosi: When We Take Back the House, I PROMISE We’ll Repeal Those Republican Tax Cuts

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. As soon as Democrats retake the House in November, Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told a town hall meeting Wednesday that the first priority is repealing and “replacing” the GOP tax cut package that passed last December.

Speaking to her constituents in Culver City, California, alongside Hollywood Congressman Ted Lieu, Pelosi pledged to discard the popular bill, which has prompted several major American companies to boost wages, share profits, and in some cases move their production operations back from overseas, because Republicans were so secretive in enacting the bill.

“One of our complaints about what they did with the tax bill is they did it in the dark of night with the speed of light,” Pelosi said.

As soon as they’ve done that, Pelosi said, she’ll “work with Republicans” on a fairer tax measure.

“We’ll sit down at the table and say … what would be a tax bill that creates growth, that creates good paying jobs as it reduces the deficit?” Pelosi said. “It’s not about chipping at this piece or that piece, it’s about a comprehensive look at what our tax policy should be for the future.” (Read more from “Nancy Pelosi: When We Take Back the House, I PROMISE We’ll Repeal Those Republican Tax Cuts” HERE)
