“F*ck Trump!” – Antifa Terrorists Burn Bibles, American Flags in Front of Federal Courthouse in Portland

 

Antifa-BLM terrorists Friday night burned a stack of Bibles and American flags in front of the federal courthouse in Portland.

 

Further proof that the rioting has nothing to do with the death of George Floyd and everything to do with destroying the Judeo-Christian values that shape the US.

 

Authorities said the militants on Friday night set several fires.

 

WATCH:

Antifa screamed, “F*ck Trump!” as they burned an American flag.

 

After more than 60 days of non-stop rioting in Portland, Barack Obama this week slammed the Trump Administration for sending federal officers to quell the riots.

 

Obama and Biden refer to these Bible-burning, American flag-burning terrorists as “peaceful protesters.”

Amazon, Jeff Bezos, And The Influential Washington Post

 

After Jeff Bezos and several other CEOs testified before the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee over anti-competitive conduct the following article has taken a huge leap in importance. The Washington Post is an influencer with great power. What is the definition of an influencer? The definition of an influencer is a person or entity that exerts influence. An influencer inspires or guides the actions of others The old theme of laziness and mellowness runs counter to today's influencers, who are business-people and upscale inspirational promoters. During recent years several of the tech giants have come under fire for skewing and manipulating public opinion but sliding below the radar is the Washington Post. This means few people question the newspaper's findings, stories, articles, or opinions.

 

The Washington Post is by far the most influential newspaper in America. Its subtle ability to influence, shape, and mold the opinion of Americans cannot be overestimated. Day after day those working for the Washington Post are quoted time and time again as experts and authorities as they appear on talk-shows and news-feeds spreading their message. Much in the way a stone hitting the water sends out ripples, this amplifies their spin and in many ways determines the focus and direction in how we view issues. The Washington Post's power goes far beyond just reporting the news but it has the ability to plant an idea like you would a seed. It then shapes public opinion utilizing various tools and even coordinating the timing to maximize their impact.

 

Power Corrupts

 

Almost as frightening as the concentrated power held by companies such as Facebook and Google is the fact Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon and the world's richest man, is the person who owns and controls the Washington Post. It is silly to think Jeff Bezos purchased the Washington Post in 2013 because he expected newspapers to make a lucrative resurgence. It is more likely he purchased the long-trusted U.S. newspaper for the power it would ensure him in Washington when wielded as a propaganda mouthpiece to extend his ability to both shape and control public opinion.

 

To be blunt, the Washington Post controls much of the narrative put before the American people. Jeff Bezos, the epitome of a person who rises to the top in unregulated capitalist systems where money rewards people who are comfortable with exploiting and harming others should not be wielding such power. The fact is, when you couple the voice of the Washington Post with Amazon, a company so deeply involved with discovering and archiving detailed files and information about individuals and politicians across America you command far too much muscle and clout.

 

It is not a coincidence that the Washington Post has broken many big stories that move the needle of public opinion in huge ways. This is done over the years with a cumulative effect, meaning that while many of these stories don't immediately wow us they seem to rapidly spread throughout the mainstream media taking on a life of their own and eventually have huge ramifications that can be so subtle they go unnoticed by the average American. The propaganda they dish out can be very seductive, they simply add in a few gentle jabs to embarrass their enemies and then stir the power of suggestion.

$100 Fine: Gatherings of More Than Three People on Sidewalks Banned in DC Suburb Arlington County, VA over Coronavirus Concerns

 

Gatherings of three or more people on sidewalks and streets were banned by the Arlington County Board on Friday to enforce social distancing measures to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 China coronavirus. Pedestrians could be fined up to $100 for that and for violating a six foot social distancing order.

 

Arlington County is located in Northern Virginia across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., with the historic city of Alexandria on its southern boundary. In recent decades the county was transformed into a dynamic mix of young couples raising families, hipster singles and immigrants accompanied by strong business development. The five members of the Arlington County Board are all elected Democrats.

 

Text of the announcement by the board:

The Arlington County Board today adopted an emergency ordinance prohibiting groups of more than three people from congregating on streets and sidewalks posted with the restrictions, and requiring pedestrians to maintain at least six feet of physical separation from others on the posted streets and sidewalks. Violators could face a traffic fine of up to $100. In adopting the measure, the Board cited the difficulty of securing voluntary compliance with social distancing requirements as coronavirus cases surge nationwide.

 

“While most Arlingtonians are adhering to requirements to wear masks and maintain social distancing, unfortunately, some are not,” Arlington County Board Chair Libby Garvey said. “They are putting themselves and our community at risk of serious illness or death during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Board hopes that this step will make it clear to our entire community that this pandemic is far from under control and that we are serious about maintaining social distance to slow its spread and save lives. We hope that through outreach and education, we will get voluntary compliance and will not have to issue a single ticket.”

 

The Board voted unanimously to adopt the emergency amendment to the County Code, saying enforcement will begin after a period of outreach and education, and after signs are posted in the areas of enforcement. The Board acted under the state of emergency declared by Governor Ralph Northam and the County in response to the spread of the coronavirus.

 

In adopting the emergency amendment, the Board noted that “since the inception of Phase Three,” of Arlington and the Commonwealth’s emergence from the Governor’s Stay-at-Home order, “Arlington county has experienced significant crowding inside restaurants and on the public sidewalks, rights of way, and adjacent public spaces where patrons gather for oftentimes prolonged periods awaiting admission into the restaurants,” without wearing face coverings and practicing physical distancing, “thereby creating a significant potential for spread of COVID-19.”

 

In accordance with state law, the Board will hold a public hearing on the amendment at its September 2020 County Board Meeting, before voting on whether to make it permanent.

 

Governor Northam declared a state of emergency in Virginia on March 12, 2020, in response to the spread of the novel coronavirus. County Manager Mark Schwartz declared a local emergency on March 13, 2020, and the Board consented to his declaration on March 14, 2020. Arlington entered Phase Three of reopening on July 1, 2020.

It's Raining Cocaine: Plane Overloaded With Drugs Crashes in Papua New Guinea

 

According to authorities, the plane had flown to Papua New Guinea from Mareeba in Far North Queensland, flying at about 3,000 feet to avoid being detected by radar.

 

A light Cessna aircraft overloaded with cocaine crashed on take-off on its way to Australia, CNN reported on Saturday, quoting police.

 

According to the channel, the plane went down during take-off in Papua New Guinea on 26 July.

 

The crash exposed a Melbourne-based crime syndicate and resulted in the arrest of five men who allegedly had links to the Italian mafia, the report says. They have been charged with plotting to import over 500 kilos of cocaine, as well with other related offences.

 

The detainees are facing a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, if found guilty. The pilot surrendered himself to police a couple of days after the accident and was arrested, too.

 

The total street-value of the cocaine was estimated at about 80 million Australian dollars ($57M USD), authorities said.

New Jersey gym owners, who were arrested for defying shutdown, kick down gov't-installed barriers to reopen

 

'You can do this safely'

 

The owners of embattled Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey, were arrested on Monday for reopening their gym in defiance of Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy's lockdown order. The arrests came after a judge ruled New Jersey could forcibly shut down the gym.

 

However, Murphy couldn't keep the gym owners down for long.

 

On Saturday, just days after being released from jail, owners Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti kicked down government-installed barriers to reopen the gym.

 

Just happened: Owners of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, closed by the state in dispute over pandemic regulations, kick in… https://t.co/c5CpUzen04

— jim walsh (@jim walsh)1596281233.0

 

"Gov. Murphy has weaponized the police force against us over and over," Smith said, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. "I think he looks foolish, the way he's treating us — he's pulling out all the stops. You have to ask, how far will one man go to destroy a small business?"

 

Atilis Gym has faced an uphill battle since defiantly reopening in May. Law enforcement has forced the gym to shut down several times.

 

In fact, the government is so determined to keep the gym closed that, according to the Inquirer, Bellmawr officials will consider revoking the gym's business license at an upcoming meeting on Tuesday.

 

If their license is revoked, Atilis Gym may have to shutter its doors permanently.

 

The decision to reopen the gym despite their recent arrest was popular with locals. From the Inquirer:

 

Around 8 a.m. Saturday, Smith and Trumbetti kicked and forced in the boards as supporters and gym members cheered them on, then replaced the doors on their hinges. Several dozen people watched from the parking lot, many waving American flags and listening to patriotic music blasting from speakers in front of the gym. Several attendees had traveled from other parts of New Jersey, and some waved anti-Murphy signs or wore pro-Trump accessories.

 

However, Smith and Trumbetti did not reopen without first ensuring that members would be safe.

 

Although they did not require members to wear masks, they limited the gym capacity to just 25% — which equates to 40 to 50 members working out at once — constantly monitored members' temperatures, asked members to sign waivers, and gave each member their own disinfectant spray. They also installed a new air purification system.

 

"You can do this safely," Smith told the Inquirer. "You can't say that all gyms have bad ventilation. Some might — but to put them all in one category shows you don't understand discrepancies and nuance. It shows you're not actually interested in helping small businesses."

 

All told, the gym spent thousands of dollars on safety upgrades before reopening.

Democrats’ Policies Are Unfit For The Presidency

 

In 2016, the news-minding public endured an endless chant branding Donald Trump’s character and personality as “unfit” for office.

 

It was a slogan deployed against him by no less than President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Clinton debuted it in a major campaign speech echoed in a campaign ad featuring conservative writer Charles Krauthammer. In her speech, Clinton called Trump “tempermentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability, and immense responsibility. This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes.” Obama said, “the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president.”

 

People who called Trump “unfit” for office in 2016 include Joe Biden; 2008 and 2012 Republican presidential nominees John McCain and Mitt Romney, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, USA Today’s editorial board in its first presidential endorsement ever, later presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, Sen. Rand Paul; RedState editor and “lifelong Republican” Leon Wolf, author of the debunked “Fire and Fury” novel Michael Wolff, TV personality Omarosa, 2020 presidential candidate Rep. John Delaney, Republican former Sen. Gordon Humphrey, and the United Kingdom’s now-Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

 

It didn’t end when Trump took office, of course. This week, Trump’s niece Mary Trump has a new tell-all book just like all the others, also insisting he’s “unfit.” In the intervening time, we’ve heard the same buzzword from the FBI director Trump fired, Jim Comey; the national security advisor Trump fired, John Bolton; writer Andrew Sullivan; New Hampshire Sen. Maggie Hassan; and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

 

Clearly, Democrats have been trying to cement in voters’ foreheads the idea that Trump’s personality is unfit for office. Perhaps that’s because Democrats’ policies never have been as unfit for the office as they are now.

 

Just this week, in his first semi-public appearance in months, presidential Potemkin village candidate Joe Biden promised to be the farthest-left president in American history.

 

Reminder: Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are two sides of the same socialist coin.

That’s quite a claim, if you know any history. Together, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson slow-motion wrecked the United States’ institutions, replacing a society of individual accountability and responsibility with a society of buck-passing generational theft and an anti-American shadow Constitution. Even if your history knowledge only goes back four years, Obama’s presidency:

Paris prosecutors push to re-open rape case against film star Gerard Depardieu

 

A rape probe against French movie star Gerard Depardieu collapsed in 2019 due to lack of evidence. His accuser, who claims she was assaulted and raped in Depardieu’s home, now wants the investigation reopened.

 

An actress in her 20s accused Depardieu in 2018 of assaulting and raping her in his Paris mansion. The 71-year-old actor denied “having committed the slightest offense” against the girl, and the case fell apart less than a year later after prosecutors failed to substantiate her claims.

 

The woman’s lawyers have now relaunched their case as a civil one, a move that forces authorities to reinvestigate, according to French media. AFP reported the news on Saturday.

 

Depardieu, a prolific actor with more than 170 film credits, has not yet commented on the case.

 

Aside from the rape case, Depardieu has grabbed headlines in recent years for criticizing his native land. He lamented France’s apparent transformation into a “Disneyland for foreigners” in 2017, and called the country a “sad” place in 2013. That same year, he was granted citizenship in Russia, where he enjoys huge popularity. Critics accused him of taking the passport to dodge his taxes, but Depardieu claimed instead to love Russia’s people and culture.

TikTok's biggest stars react to Trump's plan to ban app in US

 

The potential ban comes amid heightened tension between the U.S. and China

 

TikTok stars around the world are speaking out after President Trump announced plans to ban the popular social media platform from the United States as early as Saturday.

 

The move comes amid heightened tension between the U.S. and China over the coronavirus, trade, Hong Kong and the closing of consulates over accusations of spying.

 

The company has denied it gives data from the app to the Chinese government. “While we do not comment on rumors or speculation, we are confident in the long-term success of TikTok,” TikTok said after Trump's statement.

 

TikTok has become wildly popular with millions of Americans in the last few years, especially teenagers, who use it to make short videos. Some of the platform's biggest stars, who have amassed millions of followers on the platform, mourned it coming to an end late Friday into Saturday morning.

 

Baby Ariel, real name Ariel Martin, is known as one of TikTok's most-followed users, having amassed 34.5 million followers on the platform.

 

"i hate donald trump," the 19-year-old, who is also a singer, tweeted on Saturday.

 

Whoops! We couldn't access this Tweet.

Whoops! We couldn't access this Tweet.

 

YouTube star Larri Merritt who gained over 10 million on his larrayeeee TikTok account reacted to the news by asking his followers to support fellow users.

 

"on a serious note if tiktok is actually getting deleted. Please support your favorite smaller tiktok creators. follow them on YouTube, Instagram etc. some of these kids really do have talent and deserve everything."

 

Addison Rae, who along with her mom, Sheri Easterling, became a viral sensation on the app, hinted at her discontent with the upcoming ban on Friday afternoon, tweeting, "UGH."

 

Rae continued to post about her sadness without specifically identifying the reason. "Allow yourself to be sad," she wrote before sending out two additional tweets, writing, "remind yourself to be happy" and "its ok 2 cry."

Ten Thousand anti-Netanyahu Protesters Rally in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Across Israel

 

Protesters call on Netanyahu to resign at official residence in Jerusalem, private home in Caesarea; Five detained for harassing protesters, one for throwing a stone

 

Thousands gathered Saturday evening outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's official residence in Jerusalem, his private home in Caesarea and junctions throughout the country in the latest in a wave of protests calling for his resignation over the criminal corruption charges against him and what demonstrators claim is the government's mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Some ten thousand people are protesting near the prime minister's official residence in Jerusalem and began marching through the city center.

 

The protest and march were approved by the Israel Police, which is present in large forces and says it will allow protest for all but "will not tolerate any disturbances of the public order.” Last week, five protesters were injured after being attacked by far-right counter demonstrators.

 

The police have also been accused of using excessive force against peaceful protesters, deploying riot control units, as well as undercover officers, mounted units and water cannons.

 

Hundreds also gathered outside Netanyahu's private residence in Caesarea, alongside heavy police presence. One protester, a resident of the luxurious suburban town, called on Netanyahu “Stay in Caesarea, we’d love to have you here. But you must vacate the official residence in Balfour.”
