The New York Times Gaslights About Political Prosecutions

/0 Comments/in , /by

The New York Times published a 5,000-word article asserting that Donald Trump is a unique threat to democracy because a second term Trump Department of Justice could potentially prosecute members of the Democrat Party.

Authors Emily Bazelon and Mattathias Schwartz make this argument not only after a first Trump term with zero political prosecutions by Trump appointees but after a shocking and unprecedented nationwide lawfare campaign by Democrats against Trump and other Republicans.

The Times headline is “Why Legal Experts Are Worried About a Second Trump Presidency.” The subhed added, “In a survey of 50 members of the D.C. legal establishment, many warn that Trump could follow through on his threats to prosecute his political adversaries.” The term “gaslighting” has gained popularity in recent years, a reference to the 1944 movie “Gaslight” about a husband who manipulates his wife into thinking she is insane. Even in a sea of media manipulation, there is perhaps no better example of gaslighting than this piece.

The article begins with an unsubstantiated claim that Trump seeks to engage in political prosecutions. The only quote offered in support of this claim is Trump saying people who violate federal election laws will be prosecuted and sentenced. They inaccurately characterize this as “Donald Trump could not be clearer about his plans to use the Justice Department to seek revenge against his enemies.”

The opening paragraph also references Trump supporters chanting “Lock Her Up!” of Hillary Clinton, who had gotten away with setting up a secret server to mishandle classified information. Left unsaid by the New York Times is that Trump didn’t go after Clinton during his time in office, saying it would be “divisive” to pursue political opponents. The New York Times also doesn’t mention that the Democrat National Convention featured chants of “Lock Him Up!” when Hillary Clinton spoke.

Harris Tells Black Men Trump Is ‘Weak’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s live radio town hall with Charlamagne tha God of The Breakfast Club featured a wide-ranging conversation about the Democratic nominee’s efforts to shore up support among black men.

The event, filmed in Detroit, Michigan, one of the “blue wall” states that Harris must win to secure victory on Nov. 5, featured multiple questions from black men who questioned the vice president on her record serving under President Joe Biden and before as the junior California senator.

Black male voters are the second most loyal voting block for Democrats behind black women. But former President Donald Trump’s overtures to black men and some polling showing black male support for Harris is behind Biden’s 2020 support have worried some Democrats with just three weeks until the election. . .

When discussing the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and the fallout, Harris branded Trump as “weak” and “unfit” to serve another term as president.

“One of the things that I think is really ironic, but at play, Donald Trump, through his way of trying to name call and demean and divide, tries to project as though those things are a sign of strength, when in fact, the man is really quite weak,” said Harris. “He’s weak. It’s a sign of weakness that you want to please dictators and seek their flattery and favor.” (Read more from “Harris Tells Black Men Trump Is ‘Weak’” HERE)

Biden’s Latest Betrayal is ‘Deeply Disturbing’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s administration is threatening the Israeli government with a full arms embargo if they don’t “improve” the humanitarian situation — sparked by Hamas’ decision to start a war on October 7 — in the Gaza Strip within 30-days.

In a letter sent to a number of Israeli ministers Monday, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken made the demand.

The letter conveniently ignores that the majority of humanitarian aid delivered to Gaza, including by the United States through air drops and a disastrous, now defunct pier, is stolen by Iranian backed Hamas.

‘Yacht Killer’ Inmate Got Taxpayer-Funded Sex-Change With Kamala Harris’ Blessing: Report

/1 Comment/in , /by

A transgender [“woman”] convicted of killing a couple to try to get money for [his] sex change ended up having the procedure covered by California taxpayers — thanks to radical policies backed by VP Kamala Harris.

The notorious so-called “Yacht Killer” — who was born John Jacobson Jr. and now goes by Skylar Deleon — is currently serving life without parole after initially being sentenced to death for the slaying of Thomas Hawks, 57, and his wife Jackie, 47, in 2004.

Deleon, 45, duped the couple into letting them and several associates board their 55-foot yacht and take them out on it after feigning interest in purchasing the vessel.

While out at sea somewhere between Newport Harbor and Santa Catalina, Deleon used a stun gun to incapacitate the couple and forced them to give up their bank-account information and sign over the boat’s title — before tying them to the anchor and tossing it overboard.

Last year, nearly two decades after the murders, the killer finally got a sex-change operation — courtesy of California taxpayers. [He] is now waiting to be transferred to a women’s prison.

JD Vance Has an Even Stronger Case for a Rigged 2020 Election in the Number of Illegal Ballots

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The legacy media continues to push Sen. J.D. Vance to say Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, with Martha Raddatz on Sunday’s “This Week” being the latest in a string of interviewers pressing the vice-presidential candidate on that question. While Vance responded as before, that “of course Donald Trump and I believe there were problems in 2020,” the full exchange revealed that the fundamental flaw is in the question — not Vance’s answer.

For a full two minutes during yesterday’s interview, Raddatz demanded Vance say Trump lost the 2020 election. “Why won’t you say that?” she asked, to which Vance replied: “Because, Martha, I believe that in 2020, when Big Tech were censoring American citizens, that created very serious problems.”

“I don’t understand why you won’t just say that you believe it?” Raddatz retorted. “Did Donald Trump lose? That’s the question, and you know that’s the question.”

It was here that an exasperated Vance made his point clear: “Martha, I’ve said repeatedly I think the 2020 election had problems, you want to say ‘rigged,’ you want to say, ‘he won,’ use whatever vocabulary term you want.” What happened, Vance stressed, was the “censoring of fellow citizens in a way that ‘violated our fundamental rights,’” and that was a bigger problem, Vance explained, than what words he used to frame the issue.

This exchange proves key to understanding why Vance refuses to say, “Donald Trump lost the 2020 election,” and why the liberal press continues to demand an answer to that question.

Biden-Harris DOJ Sues to Stop Virginia From Taking Noncitizens off the Voter Rolls

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Biden-Harris Justice Department filed a lawsuit on Friday alleging that Virginia’s removal of noncitizens and other ineligible registrants from its voter rolls is illegal.

“The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy and the Justice Department will continue to ensure that the rights of qualified voters are protected,” Kristen Clarke, the hyper-partisan head of the agency’s Civil Rights Division, contended in a melodramatic statement.

The suit comes in response to efforts by Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin and the Virginia Department of Elections (ELECT) to ensure only eligible U.S. citizens are on the state’s voter registration lists.

In an August executive order directing commonwealth agencies to undertake election security efforts ahead of the November election, Youngkin revealed that ELECT had removed 6,303 noncitizens from Virginia’s voter rolls from January 2022 to July 2024. The directive also included instructions for ensuring accuracy within the state voter rolls.

In its lawsuit, the DOJ — which has regularly been weaponized to target Republican-led election integrity efforts since Joe Biden became president — alleged that the state’s removal of foreign nationals from its voter registration lists violated the “Quiet Period Provision” of the 1993 National Voter Registration Act. That law requires states to complete “not later than 90 days prior to the date of a primary or general election for Federal office, any program the purpose of which is to systematically remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters.” (Read more from “Biden-Harris DOJ Sues to Stop Virginia From Taking Noncitizens off the Voter Rolls” HERE)

Report: Tensions Rise Between Biden Staff and Harris Campaign; Biden Allegedly Sabotaging Kamala Harris’ Presidential Campaign

/6 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Tensions are rising between President Joe Biden’s administration and Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign, with Biden’s senior staffers being labeled as too “in their feelings” to fully support Harris after he was pushed out of the race, inside sources revealed to Axios.

Biden and Harris have struggled to remain on the same page since she announced that she would be taking his place at the top of the Democrat ticket in July, with Biden holding an impromptu press conference just as Harris was about to hold an event in Michigan on Friday, “ensuring” that she would get less live coverage.

Prior to that, Harris slammed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for declining her call about Hurricane Milton — which he denied receiving — just before Biden undercut her by praising DeSantis for being “gracious” and “cooperative,” Axios reported.

An inside source told the outlet that Biden had not been briefed on Harris’s jabs at the Republican governor when he made those comments.

On top of those public fumbles between the current administration and the campaign, a close Harris ally told the publication that senior Biden aides are not fully on board with supporting the new presidential ticket after feeling slighted.

Biden Sabotaging Kamala Harris’ Presidential Campaign After Being Forced to Drop Re-Election Bid, Pundits Say

By New York Post. . .President Biden is so bitter about being forced to drop his re-election bid by top members of his own party that he’s deliberately sabotaging Kamala Harris’ campaign, according to a growing chorus of political pundits

Since being pressured out of the race in July over fears about declining cognitive abilities, Biden has done little for Harris beyond endorsing her, and has largely been a no-show at his vice president’s campaign events.

He’s also pulled the spotlight from his intended successor on numerous occasions, including delivering his own comments last week on how the White House is responding to Hurricane Helene — even after Harris cancelled a Las Vegas campaign event and hurried back to DC to be briefed on the storm’s impact.

The lame-duck leader has also served up a plethora of cringe-worthy actions that have left Donald Trump-loving conservatives salivating. They include sporting a “Trump 2024” cap during a 9/11 anniversary event last month, and praising Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Tuesday for how he’s prepped the Sunshine State to handle Hurricane Milton — one day after Harris complained that DeSantis didn’t take her call.

Meanwhile, there’s been growing tension in recent months between Biden’s advisors and Harris’ over her dueling interest of remaining loyal to the unpopular president while also promoting herself on the campaign trail as representing change, according to multiple reports.

Biden-Harris Admin Paves Way for Bureaucrats to Take Gender-Confused Kids From ‘Non-Affirming’ Parents

/1 Comment/in , /by

“Transphobia is child abuse,” Alex Roque, who runs the Ali Forney Center for homeless LGBTQ youth in New York City, asserted on a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) webinar last fall.

In less than three minutes, he cast a vision for completely transforming child protective systems nationwide. Family rejection of a child’s gender identity cannot be dismissed as a personal view, he argued. Non-affirmation must be treated as abuse. “If they were denying them food or denying them access to school or denying other things, there would be headlines,” Roque continued. “There would be prosecution.”

Among gender activists the Biden-Harris administration has enlisted to shape its policies, Roque’s definition of abuse is not fringe, and his vision for reshaping the system is not hypothetical.

While crafting its foster care rule finalized in April, HHS officials took inspiration from social workers in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, who spent years pioneering a program that strong-arms parents into affirming whatever confused beliefs children express about their gender. Parents who decline risk losing a voice in their child’s life.

The program developed in Cuyahoga County using federal grant funds provided the HHS’ Administration for Children and Families (ACF) with an ideal model for infusing gender ideology into foster care and social services, the Daily Caller News Foundation discovered in reviewing hundreds of documents and emails obtained via public record requests.

Fani Willis Moves to Restrain Former Special Prosecutor’s Testimony Before Congress

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is attempting to restrict what her former special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, can tell congressional investigators in Washington this week about the Georgia 2020 election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his allies.

On Monday, the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee released an October 11 letter from Willis stating her office told Wade, who left the RICO case earlier this year after a romance between him and the DA was revealed, about certain restrictions it wanted to place on his closed-door testimony.

Willis wrote that Wade has been informed her office was asserting “all legal protections and privileges related to information that he possesses about ongoing criminal prosecutions” and he was “instructed not to answer any questions that seek to solicit information about his role or underlying evidence” in the 2020 case.

To Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Willis said, “I am concerned that your demand for Mr. Wade’s testimony would force him to improperly divulge confidential information that is protected” by the DA’s office. She also raised concerns about Wade being pressed to violate State Bar of Georgia rules governing the conduct of attorneys.

Kamala Harris Appears to Propose New Race-Based Payments

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled a new proposal Monday all but promising to distribute forgivable small business loans on the basis of race as she struggles to gain the support of black men.

The Harris campaign rolled out its “Opportunity Agenda for Black Men,” which proposes to give one million $20,000 loans to black entrepreneurs and “others who have historically faced barriers to starting a new business or growing an existing business.” The policy is aligned with the Biden administration’s broad effort to prioritize or otherwise incorporate race into several major government programs and initiatives, such as its payments to black American farmers who faced discrimination before 2021 and its Justice40 agenda stipulating that 40% of the benefits of certain environmental spending and programs flow to “disadvantaged communities.”

“Drawing on insights from her experience throughout her career and her Economic Opportunity Tour, today Vice President Harris is laying out an Opportunity Agenda for Black Men to provide them with the tools to achieve financial freedom, lower costs to better provide for themselves and their families, and protect their rights,” the Harris campaign wrote in its new plan. “This pathbreaking agenda includes: Providing 1 million loans that are fully forgivable to Black entrepreneurs and others to start a business.”

Specifically, the Small Business Administration would team up with “trusted partners on the ground” to distribute the business loans to recipients under Harris’ new proposal. The forgivable loans are designed to boost “entrepreneurs who have a good idea but don’t have the resources, connections, or access to capital to get their business off the ground, as well as entrepreneurs locating in underserved communities.”

The forgivable small business loans are just one part of the new “Opportunity Agenda for Black Men.” Other proposals include enhancing job training programs for black men, launching health initiatives focused on conditions like cell disease that disproportionately affect black men and legalizing recreational marijuana and helping black Americans capitalize on that industry.
