Why Did Alan Dershowitz Push Trump for Ghislaine Maxwell Pardon?

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Former Jeffrey Epstein attorney Alan Dershowitz lobbied then-President Donald Trump to pardon madam Ghislaine Maxwell before she could face trial, according to a report.

The 83-year-old lawyer — himself long accused of having sex with one of late pedophile Epstein’s teen accusers — pushed for the pardon after UK media heiress Maxwell was arrested in July 2020 for the sex-trafficking crimes she was convicted of last month, the Times of London said.

The retired Harvard law professor was able to use his close ties to Trump, whom he also represented during his impeachment trial, the paper said.

One of the convicted madam’s brothers, Ian Maxwell, 65, confirmed to the UK paper that he had discussed the possibility of clemency with Dershowitz, who got Epstein his controversial wrist-slap 2008 plea deal on sex offenses with underage girls.

Pfizer Partnered With Chinese Vaccine Passport Platform Before COVID

/0 Comments/in /by

One year before the pandemic, Pfizer began partnering in the implementation of “vaccine passports’ in China with an online payment platform affiliated with the Communist Party.

The pharmaceutical giant boasted of its cooperation with Chinese leaders and Alipay in a June 6, 2018, tweet, reported The National Pulse.

“We are proud to stand with China leaders & @Alipay to introduce new, digital solutions to improve disease education and vaccine access-creating a brighter future for Chinese children,” Pfizer said. . .

The National Pulse noted Alipay was founded as an offshoot of the Chinese Communist Party-linked company Alibaba. . .

Pfizer said in its annual review for 2018 that it was using the Alibaba spinoff Alipay “to provide much needed education about disease and vaccinations” and improve payment options for vaccination. (Read more from “Pfizer Partnered With Chinese Vaccine Passport Platform Before COVID” HERE)

The former Playboy model, Raiders cheerleader, and Baywatch actress who was detained after assaulting a maskless fellow passenger during a Delta Air Lines flight was blasted online for her now-viral outburst, with many highlighting her past and blaming current “COVID lunacy” attitudes for contributing to such behavior.

After Patricia Cornwall, who also goes by Patty Breton, appeared in a viral video clip on Saturday in a spat with an elderly man, apparently over masking, she faced heavy criticism online over her conduct.

The 51-year-old ex-Playboy model, who later worked as a realtor, is now facing federal assault charges after allegedly striking an 80-year-old man while on a flight from Tampa to Atlanta last week. . .

Judge Halts Biden Vaccine Mandate for Health Workers in 10 States

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A federal court on Monday temporarily halted the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health workers at hospitals that receive federal funding.

The ruling by a Missouri-based federal judge applies to health care employees in the 10 states that sued to block the administration’s Nov. 5 rule. Those states are Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.

U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp, a Trump appointee, appeared persuaded by the states’ argument that the mandate would lead to staffing shortages.

“The scale falls clearly in favor of healthcare facilities operating with some unvaccinated employees, staff, trainees, students, volunteers and contractors, rather than the swift, irremediable impact of requiring healthcare facilities to choose between two undesirable choices — providing substandard care or providing no healthcare at all,” Schelp wrote in a 32-page order.

WATCH: Former West Point Cadets’ Reasons for Leaving Academy Should Horrify Every Red-Blooded American

Former West Point Cadet Says Military Academy ‘Glorifies Ignorant Submission and Unethical Behavior’

By Fox News. Former cadet at the United States Military Academy Hannah MacDonald said that West Point “glorifies ignorant submission and unethical behavior” Thursday on “Hannity,” joining two other former cadets in their criticism of the academy.

For MacDonald and her fellow former cadets Nickaylah Sampson and Willow Brown, enrolling at the nation’s oldest service academy was a dream come true. . .

Sampson remembered talk of briefs about “White rage” and “extremism.” The former cadet found such discussions “ridiculous,” saying “[i]t really had nothing to do with…bettering yourself as an Army officer.”

MacDonald recounted tutoring students writing essays about critical race theory and socialism this fall, explaining that the students “didn’t agree” with such ideas but “thought their professors would enjoy [their essays] because [they were] in line with the books they were reading.”

Her disappointment was especially profound given her Christian upbringing, in which she said she was taught that “there’s no greater love than to lay down your life for someone else.” (Read more from “Former West Point Cadet Says Military Academy ‘Glorifies Ignorant Submission and Unethical Behavior’” HERE)

Former West Point Cadets’ Reasons for Leaving Academy Should Horrify Every Red-Blooded American

By Biz Pac Review. On Fox News’ “Hannity” Thursday, host Sean Hannity spoke with three former West Point cadets who were effectively driven from the military academy because of its philosophical shift in values as well as for refusing to submit to the COVID vaccine.

Although the stated policy of the academy was that vaccinations were optional for cadets, the trio nevertheless endured targeting and harassment which eventually took a toll on their well-being and paralyzed their military career endeavors. It all came to a head on September 27th, following the U.S. government-imposed vaccine mandate.

Cadets were then “instructed in a meeting to either get vaccinated, file for an exemption or separate from the academy,” Hannity said. According to several cadets in attendance, they were denied legal counsel after being assured they could acquire it.

Willow Brown, who left the academy in the spring, explained the reasoning behind her decision to leave West Point.

“I went to the academy hoping to serve my country and bring the fight to the enemy. I found myself instead in the classroom learning about how to be more sensitive, and this woke ideology that had taken over West Point really surprised me.” (Read more from “Former West Point Cadets’ Reasons for Leaving Academy Should Horrify Every Red-Blooded American” HERE)

GOP Rep. Visits Jan. 6 Detainees at D.C. Jail, Says They Are ‘Suffering Greatly’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Thursday visited the D.C. jail and reported that detainees charged in connection with the Capitol riot were “suffering greatly.”

The Georgia Republican said her visiting the detainees in the “Patriot” wing of the D.C. Central Treatment Facility “was like walking into a prisoner of war camp and seeing men [whose] eyes can’t believe someone had made it in to see them.”

Mrs. Greene said they have “virtually no medical care, very poor food quality, and [are] being put through re-education which most of them are rejecting.”

She said the detainees “have felt forgotten and hopeless” and that she was “greeted by men with overwhelming cheers who rushed out to meet me with tears streaming down their faces.”

The lawmaker is planning to release a report about the visit and said she is committed to bringing an end to this “political war.” (Read more from “GOP Rep. Visits Jan. 6 Detainees at D.C. Jail, Says They Are ‘Suffering Greatly’” HERE)

Evil Biden Administration Pushes Supreme Court to Halt Texas Heartbeat Law

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Biden administration on Monday asked the Supreme Court to block the Texas Heartbeat Act, accusing the state of “nullifying” the constitutional rights of its citizens.

The Texas law, also called S.B. 8, allows private citizens to sue abortion providers if they perform abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detectable. A 5-4 Court in September refused to block implementation of the law, rebuffing an emergency appeal from abortion clinics in Texas. The Justice Department says its claim is different because the federal government has a special duty to stop end-runs around the Constitution.

“The United States has a sovereign interest in ensuring the supremacy of federal law by preventing a state from suspending a constitutional right within its borders,” the government’s emergency appeal reads.

The Biden administration has taken the lead in the legal fight against the Texas Heartbeat Act. Apart from Monday’s emergency appeal, Attorney General Merrick Garland has promised to step up prosecutions under a federal law that forbids injuring, intimidating, or interfering with patients or workers near abortion clinics. And President Joe Biden has promised a “whole-of-government” response to the law.

The Justice Department also suggested the Court should add the Texas case to its regular docket and resolve the case through normal process. The justices would hear arguments sometime in early 2022, with a decision to follow by summer. (Read more from “Biden Pushes Supreme Court to Halt Texas Heartbeat Law” HERE)

Under Biden Administration Plan, Poor Would Be Three Times More Likely To Get IRS Audit Than 1 Percenters

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Under a new Biden administration proposal, the Internal Revenue Service is three times more likely to audit a citizen making less than $25,000 rather than someone in the top 1 percent of wealth.

The new proposal, which would require financial institutions to annually report customers’ account deposits and withdrawals at $600 or more, gives the IRS more leverage over those making less than $25,000, because they are more likely to have irregular income. Over the next decade, the reporting on more than 140 million bank accounts would raise an estimated $700 billion in tax revenue — which would cover social spending in the Reconciliation Bill.

Discussion of raising the threshold to $10,000 has not eased any tension. More than 40 banks urged lawmakers to vote against such a proposal in a letter addressed to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. The banks warned against the mandatory collection of most Americans’ financial information “without proper explanation of how the IRS will store, protect, and use this enormous trove of personal financial information” could result a “tremendous liability” (Read more from “Under Biden Administration Plan, Poor Would Be Three Times More Likely To Get IRS Audit Than 1 Percenters” HERE)

YouTube To Censor All Anti-Vaccine Content

/0 Comments/in , , /by

YouTube is cracking down on anti-vaccination content on its site, taking down several channels from high-profile anti-vaccination activists.

Channels belonging to activists such as Dr. Joseph Mercola and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are among those that YouTube will be taking down in its efforts to police anti-vaccination content on the social media site, according to the Washington Post . Any video content that claims “commonly used” vaccines already approved by health officials and the medical community might be life-threatening or ineffective will be banned from the site as part of YouTube’s new set of policies.

“Developing robust policies takes time,” Matt Halprin, YouTube’s vice president of global trust and safety, said of the decision not to act sooner. “We wanted to launch a policy that is comprehensive, enforceable with consistency, and adequately addresses the challenge.”

The Biden administration has encouraged social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to get better at policing anti-vaccination content, especially posts that could sow misinformation about the coronavirus vaccine.

President Joe Biden previously slammed social media companies, such as Facebook, as partially at fault for people dying from the coronavirus due to the misinformation content on their sites, stating that “they’re killing people.” Following criticism, Biden later walked back this comment, explaining that he wanted Facebook to do more to patrol the amount of misinformation about the coronavirus vaccines on its site.

The Horrific Afghanistan Withdrawal Re-Opened Our Nation’s 9/11 Wounds; Biden Marks 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Criticizing ‘Dark Forces’ in America Against ‘Peaceful Religion’ of Islam

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

By The Federalist. The 9/11 tragedy and two decades of responses to it will never rest easy in the minds of those who lost loved ones, or still suffer scars from the trauma of the deadliest attack on our own soil. This year’s anniversary has most outraged about the reemergence of the Taliban, the irresponsible way this administration exited Afghanistan, but mostly the idea that some Americans and allies are expendable.

We broke our promise, we violated our honor, and we have invited harsher terrorist attacks in the future, with our own hardware. President Biden’s foolish decisions dishonor the memory and heroism of the thousands of people who died in the towers, in the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania, and the many more brave Americans in the military who died in the 20-year War on Terror.

To be fair, the Bush administration also made hasty mistakes amid a desire to spike the ball and declare “Mission Accomplished.” But lessons are supposed to be learned so mistakes are not repeated. For Team Biden, it should never have been about when we would leave Afghanistan, but how.

Unfortunately, Biden has allowed his administration to be overrun with overconfident, ideological warriors, who may read intelligence reports but do not believe or learn from them. Replete with the best degrees, and long pedigrees earned by slavish commitment to all the politically correct causes, there is a ruling class in this administration that always knows best, blames America, and cynically relies on national media to cover up for all the errors and omissions of socialism, globalism, and elitism.

It is all so depressing and alarming and predictable. Our president is barely able to read cue cards, and the vice president has no-clue cards.

This national shame and confusion run contrary to the way Americans responded to 9/11. We came together with a near-universal belief that those who attacked America needed to be brought to justice. We took pride in our country and honored those who protected us from terrorism. (Read more from “The Horrific Afghanistan Withdrawal Re-Opened Our Nation’s 9/11 Wounds” HERE)

Biden Marks 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Criticizing ‘Dark Forces’ in America Against ‘Peaceful Religion’ of Islam

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden marked the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks by criticizing Americans for the anti-Muslim anger that occurred in the United States after the attacks took place.

“We also witnessed the dark forces of human nature. Fear and anger. Resentment and violence against Muslim-Americans — true and faithful followers of a peaceful religion,” Biden said in a prerecorded video published for the occasion.

The president said that the principle of “unity” in the country was endangered by the attacks but ultimately prevailed. . .

Biden released his pre-recorded video, as the White House confirmed Friday he had no plans to address the nation on the 20th anniversary of the attacks. (Read more from “Biden Marks 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Criticizing ‘Dark Forces’ in America Against ‘Peaceful Religion’ of Islam” HERE)
