Twitter Complains It’s Being Censored in Foreign Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

After permanently banning President Trump and other prominent conservatives last Friday, Twitter condemned the blocking of social media and messaging apps by Uganda during the African nation’s election, prompting many Twitter users to point out the irony.

“Ahead of the Ugandan election, we’re hearing reports that Internet service providers are being ordered to block social media and messaging apps,” said a tweet from the account of Twitter’s Global Policy Team.

“We strongly condemn internet shutdowns – they are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights and the principles of the #OpenInternet,” Twitter said.

Twitter acknowleged that earlier this week, “in close coordination with our peers,” the social media giant “suspended a number of accounts targeting the election in Uganda.”

“If we can attribute any of this activity to state-backed actors, we will disclose to our archive of information operations,” Twitter said. (Read more from “Twitter Complains It’s Being Censored in Foreign Election” HERE)

U.S. Sanctions 2020 Election Meddlers Tied To Giuliani

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Trump administration on Monday issued a fresh round of sanctions on a Russia-backed network of individuals who attempted to influence the 2020 election by spreading false information about Joe Biden, according to an announcement by the Treasury Department.

The sanctions target several people linked to Andrii Derkach, the Ukrainian lawmaker who helped Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani disseminate negative stories about President-elect Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, during the 2020 election cycle. Derkach, a leading pro-Moscow voice, was sanctioned in September, and the new measures are part of an effort by the U.S. government to crack down on his associates, who are tied to election interference as well. The sanctions target seven Ukrainians believed to be part of the Derkach-led network that sought to sway last year’s election through a series of online influence operations.

The United States maintains Derkach and his allies disseminated and promoted “fraudulent and unsubstantiated allegations involving a U.S. political candidate,” now widely known to be Biden. Derkach knowingly pushed false information about Biden’s dealings in Ukraine, the Treasury Department claimed in a statement that was notable for its rebuke of Russian sympathizers known to have worked with Giuliani, a top Trump adviser. Derkach, the government said, was acting “as an agent of the Russian intelligence services to influence the 2020 U.S. Presidential election.” The campaign was meant to “advance disinformation narratives that U.S. government officials have engaged in corrupt dealings in Ukraine.”

The statement was vague on details, however, about what information the United States specifically deemed to be false. Hunter Biden is currently under federal investigation for his work with Ukrainian energy company Burisma, giving credence to claims that he inappropriately profited from his family name.

Meghan McCain Suggests Capitol Rioters Be ‘Sent To Gitmo,’ Treated ‘Like Any Other Terrorists’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Co-host Meghan McCain says the Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol building last week should be “prosecuted like any other terrorists who have attacked our homeland,” and suggested that those found guilty even be sent to prison in Guantanamo Bay.

During ABC’s “The View” on Monday, McCain and her co-hosts were discussing the prospect and timeline of impeaching President Donald Trump when she interjected, “I just think we need to treat domestic terrorists the way we do actual terrorists.”

“I think we need to consider all, all, all possibilities,” she continued. “I’m not against sending these people to Gitmo. And that may sound extreme, but these are domestic terrorists who attacked our own republic, they should be treated the same way we treat Al Qaeda.”

McCain delivered a similar statement on Twitter ahead of the show, writing, “The MAGA terrorists should be prosecuted like any other terrorists who have attacked our homeland and be given the same severity of consequences. They should also be tried for treason. No mercy.”

What’s Happening to a Public School Teacher Who Attended the D.C. Protest Should Worry Us All

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters gathered in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday to protest an election many consider to be unfair. One of those attendees, a public school teacher in Allentown, Pennsylvania, has been relieved of duty pending a formal investigation into his attendance at Wednesday’s protest.

“Because of the emotion and controversy stirred by the events of January 6, 2021, the teacher has been temporarily relieved of his teaching duties until the School District can complete a formal investigation of his involvement,” reads a statement from Allentown School District Superintendent Thomas Parker. . .

“Yesterday’s events have added to the confusion and uncertainty our students are experiencing during this unprecedented time,” Thomas continued. “To that end, we are reminding our staff to think carefully about what they share online and how it could affect their students and fellow community members. While we all have the right to express ourselves, it is important to do so respectfully. We ask the same of our students and families.” (Read more from “What’s Happening to a Public School Teacher Who Attended the D.C. Protest Should Worry Us All” HERE)

Manatee Found With ‘Trump’ Scrawled on Its Back in Florida

/1 Comment/in , /by

A manatee was found with the word “TRUMP” scrawled on its back in a Florida swimming hole, prompting an investigation from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, reports said Monday.

The defenseless animal was spotted with the political inscription over the weekend in the Blue Hole headwaters of the Homosassa River in Citrus County — about 80 miles northwest of Orlando, the Citrus County Chronicle reported.

Witnesses reported the animal to federal authorities, the outlet said.

“It’s been my experience that this is very out of character for this community,” Craig Cavanna, a senior federal wildlife officer in charge of the investigation, told the outlet.

“Wildlife conservation is a core value in Citrus County. That’s why it’s called the Nature Coast.” (Read more from “Manatee Found With ‘Trump’ Scrawled on Its Back in Florida” HERE)

Kevin McCarthy Claims President Trump Said He Bears Some Responsibility for Capitol Riot

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said during a call with House Republicans Monday night that President Donald Trump told him he bears some of the responsibility for the Washington, DC riots.

A source with knowledge of the matter confirmed to Breitbart News regarding McCarthy’s conversation with House Republicans.

The subsequent chaos from the Capitol building riots led to calls for Trump’s ouster from both Republicans and Democrats.

Republicans such as Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) have called for Trump to resign from office.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) subsequently called for Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. After Pence would not remove the president, Pelosi and House Democrats have moved to draft Articles of Impeachment against Trump.

‘Snowflakes’ Want Trump Scene Removed From Classic Movie (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the novel 1984, whenever the Ministry of Truth wanted to destroy or rewrite history, it was the job of party members at the Ministry of Truth to make the necessary modifications and then destroy the original documents by shoving them into a memory hole where they are incinerated.

In the year 2021, tolerant liberals are calling for Donald Trump to be digitally removed from Home Alone 2: Lost In New York, in which he has a brief cameo when Kevin McAllister, played by Macauley Culkin, asks him for directions to the lobby in the Plaza Hotel in New York City, which Trump owned at the time the movie was filmed.

The Left has been triggered by Trump’s movie cameos for some time now, but since he got banned from Facebook and Twitter, the Left seems to be pursuing all sorts of Orwellian measures as if they want to erase Trump from history and eventually, memory.

CBC TV in Canada has already cut Trump’s cameo from its annual broadcast of the movie. According to the network, the scene “was edited to allow for commercial time within the format,” which the network had been doing since 2014. But, false claims that Trump incited an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol have ignited calls for Trump’s removal from the movie.

WATCH: Pilot Threatens to ‘Dump’ Trump Fans in Kansas After They Start Chanting ‘USA’ on His Flight

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two days after what began as a pro-Trump protest ended up with rioting at the U.S. Capitol, one American Airlines pilot made it clear he had had his fill of Trump supporters.

The flight from Washington to Phoenix turned into a mini-Trump rally as passengers waited to leave D.C. behind, according to a video tweeted by Mindy Robinson, who lost her race for Congress in November.

“Wow. I’m on a plane full of patriots flying from DC to Phoenix and we started chanting “USA” …and the Captain came on said told us he’d drop us off in Kansas if he had to if we didn’t obey their every single rule. American Airlines is everything but America,” she tweeted, including a video of the chanting.
