WATCH: Doctors Arrested for Ripping Down Senior Citizen’s Trump Flag, and It’s All Caught on Video

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Florida couple was arrested for ripping down a senior citizen’s pro-Trump flag from his property in Gulf Breeze, Florida, and records indicate they both work as doctors.

The ill-fated political vandalism was caught on 67-year-old David Brannen’s surveillance camera and was widely circulated on social media.

Police say the man and the woman drove up to the property in a golf cart with their children on April 7.

The surveillance video shows a man and a woman grabbing a ladder to reach the flag while a child implores them to stop. The child cries, saying that they were afraid the parents would go to jail.

Police later booked 41-year-old Geoffrey Michael Fraiche and his 38-year-old wife Laura Webb-Fraiche for the vandalism.

The World Requires Voter ID, but George Soros and Hillary Clinton Are Determined the U.S. Won’t; State Lawmakers Override Veto of Voter ID Measure; Tucker Carlson: ‘Democrats Encourage Voter Fraud Because It Helps Them Win Elections’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By National Review. It’s been over seven years since the Supreme Court, in a 6–3 decision that was written by liberal favorite John Paul Stevens, declared that voter-ID laws don’t constitute an undue burden on people attempting to vote. But that hasn’t stopped liberals from fighting in legislatures and courts against those laws and other efforts to promote voter integrity. The lawsuits are often brought by Marc Elias, who doubles as the attorney for Hillary Clinton’s campaign. And their efforts have paid off: Only about 18 states currently require a photo ID to vote.

Last month, the New York Times reported that billionaire liberal George Soros was largely bankrolling the multi-million-dollar effort. Democratic-party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz has accused Republicans of trying to bring back Jim Crow because “photo I.D. laws, we think, are very similar to a poll tax.”

Election observers in other countries find this kind of rhetoric preposterous. Almost all industrialized democracies — and most that are not — require voters to prove their identity before voting. . .

The vast majority of countries require voter ID — usually photo ID — to prevent fraud and duplicate votes at the polls. Our neighbors do. Canada requires voter ID. Mexico’s “Credencial para Votar” has a hologram, a photo, and other information embedded in it, and it is impossible to effectively tamper with. Confidence in the integrity of elections has soared since its introduction in the 1990s.

State Lawmakers Override Veto of Voter ID Measure

By AP. Republican lawmakers in Kentucky swept aside the Democratic governor’s veto of a bill to require the state’s residents to show a government-issued photo ID in order to vote.

Votes to override Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto easily cleared the GOP-led Senate and House as lawmakers reconvened Tuesday for a wrap-up session amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky promptly said it will consider filing legal action to try to halt the measure. (Read more from “State Lawmakers Override Veto of Voter ID Measure” HERE)

Tucker Carlson: ‘Democrats Encourage Voter Fraud Because It Helps Them Win Elections’

By Daily Caller. Fox News host Tucker Carlson argued that Democrats “encourage” making voter fraud easier “because it helps them win elections.”

Carlson began the Tuesday night “Tucker Carlson Tonight” monologue by pointing out that those, including Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, who consider the current crisis an “opportunity.” After listing several bills Northam signed over Easter weekend and calling them an “entire rundown from an MSNBC weekend show all signed into law,” the Fox News host pointed out one “that ought to worry you, even if you’re lucky enough not to live in Virginia.” . . .

“Government IDs aren’t racist,” Carlson insisted, pushing back against the claim. “They’re mandatory. You can’t live here without one … Pretty much every person in America has a government ID. And in fact, in February 2019 a paper coauthored by professors at Harvard and the University of Bologna found that voter ID laws had no effect whatsoever on voter turnout for any subgroup they measured — whether it was by age, or gender, or party or yes, by race. This is a complete and utter crock.”

“So why are they continuing to say it?” he continued. “Because voter ID laws stop voter fraud. Democrats encourage voter fraud because it helps them win elections.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson: ‘Democrats Encourage Voter Fraud Because It Helps Them Win Elections’” HERE)

Leaked Emails Show Fauci Was Called Hillary’s ‘Doctor Admirer,’ Wanted Hillary to Know ‘We All Love Her’; Speculation Grows About Fauci’s Future

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Western Journal. . .Emails obtained by hackers and released by Wikileaks years ago are still guiding part of the national conversation in 2020, and they demonstrate Fauci had a great admiration for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

In an email sent to Clinton aide Cheryl Mills on Jan. 23, 2013 — the date Clinton testified before Congress about her knowledge of the 2012 Benghazi consulate attack — Fauci showed his support for the embattled Democrat, who was also facing questions about her health at the time.

“Anyone who had any doubts about the Secretary’s stamina and capability following her illness had those doubts washed away by today’s performance before the Senate and the House,” Fauci wrote to Mills. . .

In forwarding the email to Clinton, Mills wrote that the message was “From your doctor admirer.” (Read more from “Leaked Emails Show Fauci Was Called Hillary’s ‘Doctor Admirer,’ Wanted Hillary to Know ‘We All Love Her'” HERE)

The Memo: Speculation Grows About Fauci’s Future

By The Hill. Anthony Fauci looks to be skating on thin ice with President Trump, despite — or perhaps because of — a growing sense that he is the most trusted expert on the coronavirus crisis.

The White House moved on Monday to squash suggestions that Fauci could be ousted from the president’s task force on the crisis.

And Fauci himself sought to shore up his position during the White House press briefing, when he walked back remarks he had made at the weekend.

During a CNN interview on Sunday, Fauci had suggested that mitigation measures would have been more effective had they been put in place earlier but that there had been “pushback” against them.

After Trump invited Fauci to the lectern within minutes of beginning Monday’s press briefing, the doctor said that his reference to “pushback” was “the wrong choice of words.” (Read more from “The Memo: Speculation Grows About Fauci’s Future” HERE)

Chicago Hospital Phlebotomist: 30%-50% of Those Tested Have Coronavirus Antibody

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A phlebotomist working at Roseland Community Hospital said Thursday that 30% to 50% of patients tested for the coronavirus have antibodies while only around 10% to 20% of those tested have the active virus.

Sumaya Owaynat, a phlebotomy technician, said she tests between 400 and 600 patients on an average day in the parking lot at Roseland Community Hospital. Drive-thru testing is from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. each day. However, the hospital has a limited number of tests they can give per day.

Owaynat said the number of patients coming through the testing center who appear to have already had coronavirus and gotten over it is far greater than those who currently have the disease. . .

If accurate, this means the spread of the virus may have been underway in the Roseland community – and the state and country as a whole – prior to the issuance of stay at home orders and widespread business closures in mid-March which have crippled the national economy.

In addition, those who show signs of already having had the illness should be able to re-enter society — albeit with some modified social distancing measures in place — rather than sheltering at home as they are no longer in danger. Of those who contract the coronavirus, around 25 percent may be asymptomatic. (Read more from “Chicago Hospital Phlebotomist: 30%-50% of Those Tested Have Coronavirus Antibody” HERE)

Woman Tests Positive for Coronavirus but She Hasn’t Left Her House for Three Weeks

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Charlotte woman is reported to have contracted COVID-19, even though she has not left her house in three weeks. Given that the virus is transmitted through human contact, the situation poses quite the conundrum. . .

“I’m absolutely terrified,” Rachel Brummert told MSN. “This is the sickest I’ve ever been, and it’s the most scared I’ve ever been. From what I’m hearing about ventilators, it’s scary stuff. I’m really hoping I can wait this out at home.”

Brummert is a high-risk patient as she already has an autoimmune disorder. That’s why she made sure to listen to the experts and stay at home. Brummert indicated that she hadn’t left her house once in three weeks. . .

The only people Brummert had come in contact with were the pharmacist, her husband, who is temporarily living in a separate room, and a woman who volunteered to drop off groceries. Unfortunately, that woman later tested positive for COVID-19. . .

Brummert also insists that she wears gloves when having any contact with the outside world such as getting her mail. In general, however, she avoids all external contact and won’t even order take-out meals. (Read more from “Woman Tests Positive for Coronavirus but She Hasn’t Left Her House for Three Weeks” HERE)

AG Barr Just Signaled That Things Are About to Get Ugly for the Russia Collusion Team; Nunes Says There May Be More Criminal Referrals; It Looks Like Putin Conned the FBI Into the ‘Russiagate’ Probe

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Hill. “Travesty” is not a nice word. It usually is applied to gross perversions of justice, and that apparently is the context Attorney General William Barr desired when he dropped it into an interview answer the other day in the breezy courtyard of the Department of Justice (DOJ).

His composed, understated delivery almost disguised the weighty magnitude of that disturbing word and the loaded adjective that preceded it. “I think what happened to him,” he said, referring to the president and the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into his campaign, “was one of the greatest travesties in American history.”

Okay, it’s important to pause for a moment and absorb what the AG said. He just called an FBI investigation not just a travesty but one of the “greatest” travesties in the nation’s history. It was an unprecedented statement by an attorney general about his own department’s premier agency. . .

Is the AG’s assessment fair? The answer is entwined in his next statement: “Without any basis [the FBI] started this investigation into [Donald Trump’s] campaign … .”

Oops, stop again right there. Mr. Barr is making a definitive statement about that which many of us have speculated all along, namely that the weirdly unprecedented investigative team put together by former FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe did not have adequate legal reasons to open a case into the Trump campaign in the first place. The attorney general just confirmed that. (Read more from “AG Barr Just Signaled That Things Are About to Get Ugly for the Russia Collusion Team” HERE)

Devin Nunes Says There May Be More Criminal Referrals Following Declassified Footnotes

By PJ Media. After Friday’s revelation that the FBI used Russian government disinformation to get secret warrants to spy on the Trump campaign, Congressman Devin Nunes says you can expect more criminal referrals against those who plotted to take down Trump.

The information that many thought likely is now confirmed in black and white in the declassified footnotes of the Inspector General’s report on the FISA court abuses.

On Fox and Friends on Saturday morning, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee said the revelations reported on Friday before the holiday weekend mean that he’ll be calling for more criminal referrals.

“People should go and look at the footnotes that are now public, ok? Because likely we’re going to have more criminals referrals based on these.

We know the Democrats were spreading disinformation, Russian disinformation, which we were saying the whole time. It never made sense he would have a political operative – the Clinton campaign working with Fusion GPS, hiring a former foreign spy – that they know is supposedly getting information from a Russian intel folks.

It Looks Like Putin Conned the FBI Into the ‘Russiagate’ Probe

By New York Post. It is becoming increasingly clear that the Russia investigation launched and conducted by James Comey’s Federal Bureau of Investigation deserves to rank as one of the agency’s great blunders — at best.

President Trump famously calls the probe a hoax, a label he uses liberally, but in this instance, it may literally be true.

We’ve spent years obsessing about Russian meddling in our politics, and now it turns out that the original FBI investigation into the Trump campaign that morphed into the Mueller probe may have been instigated, in part, by Russian disinformation.

In other words, the Kremlin may have succeeded in getting us to turn even more viciously against ourselves and conduct our politics in an atmosphere characterized by screaming headlines, dark insinuations and endless investigations — all by feeding a few lies to a private eye hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign to dig up dirt on Trump.

Woman Arrested for Entering Airport Naked Amidst Coronavirus Lockdown

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .A woman was recently arrested after allegedly arriving at the Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans completely naked. According to local reports, she refused to leave when the airport staff told her that she could not fly with no clothes on.

Mariel Vergara, a 27-year-old from Pueblo, Colo., walked into the airport naked and approached the Spirit Airlines counter on April 4th, NOLA.com reports. Authorities were called to the scene and by the time they arrived, Vergara had reportedly put on a dress.

A deputy on the scene, however, reportedly said Vergara was not wearing underwear and that the dress did not properly cover her up. This meant that she was still violating public decency laws. . .

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office says that on April 4th, Vergara was charged with obscenity, resisting an officer, battery of a police officer, simple battery and remaining in the airport after being forbidden. On April 9th, she was charged with resisting police and battery of a police officer. (Read more from “Woman Arrested for Entering Airport Naked Amidst Coronavirus Lockdown” HERE)

It’s Time for Revolt Against Intolerable and Indefensible Tyranny

/0 Comments/in , , /by

We no longer have a government that is legitimately deriving its powers from the consent of the American people on any level. Illegal aliens and criminals are getting standing in court for benefits while we are suffering from the worst tyranny in our nation’s history. When will the American people rise up?

Our Founders fought the concept of “taxation without representation.” Shouldn’t we rise up against government worker compensation without representation until this coronavirus fascism is ended?

One thing is clear: After this economic Hiroshima has settled, all jobs will be gone except for government jobs. As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, every government worker – regardless of how important and essential his job is at any time, much less at a time like this – will receive 100 percent of his salary. Yet all those small businesses and the lifetime of dreams, tears, toil, and sweat that went into them will be gone. Isn’t it time for government officials to share in the pain of the shutdown their bosses are imposing on the private sector? To that end, the citizenry must rise up and demand that their county councilmen, state legislators, and Congress convene and pass the following propositions:

All top government officials should not get paid until this is over.

State taxes should be suspended.

All nonessential government workers should have their salaries and hours cut back 30 percent for every week this goes on.

All county councilmen and state legislatures must permanently strip executives of emergency powers beyond 24 hours without consent from a legislative body.

No regulations on individuals or family activities that are not in violation of CDC distancing guidelines.

No federal bailouts for the states.

Putting the economic effects aside, the assault on our way of life is even worse. This virus, coming from China, has turned us into China. Just over the past few days, we have witnessed the Michigan governor ban all travel to a friend or relative’s home. The same governors who would sue the president for banning travel from countries with terrorists now violate the most inalienable right of freedom of movement.

We’ve seen a 12-year-old girl cited for playing basketball alone. We’ve witnessed the Louisville mayor ban drive-through church services for Easter and the Kentucky governor sending out police to check the licens plates of those parked in church parking lots.

We all watched with horror as a dad in Colorado was handcuffed for playing ball with his 6-year-old daughter and a man was dragged off a Philadelphia subway car for not wearing a mask. Just like in China. The only clause of the Bill of Rights still left intact is freedom of speech, if not freedom of assembly, although Facebook has already censored an article of mine and Medium has taken down very well-written articles by doctors questioning the strategy behind the shutdown.

The Stamp Act and Intolerable Acts were much more tolerable that what is going on today. And remember, they are just getting started. Dr. Fauci, who seems to be running the country, is talking about possibly getting back to some “degree of normality” … by November. Remember, as C.S. Lewis warned, “Those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

Throughout all of this, we must ask: Where is President Trump? The other side has tyrannical state and local officials, but where is our voice at the federal level, and why is Fauci able to rule over us?

Trump supporters must demand the following from the president:

Immediately fire Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Promise never to give another penny to state governments prolonging this shutdown, as Maryland Governor Larry Hogan asks for another $500 billion to bail out his mendacity.

Threaten federal lawsuits against states violating civil rights.

Threaten to call in the National Guard to enforce the Constitution against those state officials needlessly implementing martial law, the same way President Eisenhower did in Arkansas when state schools resisted desegregation.

Amid all the tyranny, we ironically have a large degree of anarchy, as criminals are released and go undeterred. Police boast about going after everyday Americans for violating the lawless lockdown edicts of governors, but seem impotent in dealing with dangerous criminals. Also, illegal aliens, who don’t belong in this country to begin with, continue to be released by judges, while Americans are treated like illegal aliens outside their homes.

Our Declaration of Independence established our right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and governance by consent. It also established the principle that that “whenever any Formof Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

This is our right to self-government. As it states in the Maryland Declaration of Rights: “Trustees of the Public, and, as such, accountable for their conduct: Wherefore, whenever the ends of Government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the People may, and of right ought, to reform the old, or establish a new Government; the doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.”

If we choose to “to suffer while evils are sufferable,” we might not get another chance. It’s time to party like it’s 1776. (For more from the author of “It’s Time for Revolt Against Intolerable and Indefensible Tyranny” please click HERE)

Despite Initial Agreement, Biden Reveals Details of Phone Call With President Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Though President Donald Trump and former vice president Joe Biden said they had agreed to keep the details of their Monday phone call private, Biden appears to have reneged on the agreement. The Democratic nominee has now divulged several details about the exchange in media interviews and a meeting with donors.

Biden said during his first interview after the call that he and Trump agreed they “wouldn’t go into detail” on what was said during the call between the political rivals. Biden in the days since has laid out the specifics of the five suggestions he made to Trump on how the administration could improve its coronavirus response and even began to detail to donors at a fundraiser how Trump responded.

Biden told a local Philadelphia news station on Tuesday that he and Trump “agreed we wouldn’t go into detail” beyond acknowledging they had a phone call to discuss the pandemic. In that same interview, however, Biden disclosed the recommendations he offered the president. “The generic suggestion I made is the federal responsibility, a federal response is necessary,” Biden said. “And that I thought we needed one supply commander, nationally, and identifying where all the product needed was and how to distribute it around the country.”

In a Tuesday night interview on CNN, Biden was pressed to break his silence by anchor Chris Cuomo, who asked Biden, “Why is it a good thing for the American people for you guys to talk but us not really know what happened?” The former vice president responded by detailing exactly what he recommended to the president.

“I laid out the five things I thought he should be doing now and suggested how I thought he should go about doing,” Biden said before laying out his suggestions, which beyond the appointment of a supply commander were to fully implement the Defense Production Act, open up enrollment for Obamacare, ramp up testing, and collect more data on African Americans who have caught the coronavirus.

Muslim Stabs, Murders Three Women in Tennessee at Truck Stop

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Idris Abdus-Salaam, 33, a truck driver from Durham, North Carolina, on Tuesday pulled into the Pilot Travel Center on Strawberry Plains Pike in Knoxville, Tennessee, got out of his truck, pulled out a knife, and went on a stabbing spree. He stabbed three women to death and injured a fourth. When confronted by police, Abdus-Salaam refused to drop his weapon and was shot dead. According to Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) spokeswoman Leslie Earhart, authorities are still trying to determine his motive. But will they miss an obvious clue that is right in front of their faces?

The three women Abdus-Salaam killed were all employees of the Pilot Travel Center. The fourth victim, who is in the hospital fighting to recover from the wounds Abdus-Salaam gave her, was a customer. If Abdus-Salaam knew any of them personally, the fact has not been reported. It may emerge that he did, but as of this writing, this looks like a random act of violence.

Predictably, investigators are pursuing the possibility that Abdus-Salaam was mentally ill. In this, they are following the lead of numerous authorities in the U.S. and Europe, who have ascribed incidents in which Muslims behaved violently to mental illness, often ignoring their jihad statements in order to do so. According to news reports, investigators found a notebook in his truck containing writings that suggested he was mentally ill, but none of these writings were released. . .

However, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported that Walidah Abdus-Salaam said that her son was “a practicing Muslim,” although “his loved ones had no reason to believe he had become radicalized by any sort of religious fanaticism.” (Read more from “Muslim Stabs, Murders Three Women in Tennessee at Truck Stop” HERE)
