Kanye West reportedly had secret meeting with Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump
August 12, 2020
Independent presidential candidate Kanye West secretly met with President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner last weekend, according to a new report.
The billionaire rapper had been camping with his family, including superstar wife Kim Kardashian West and their four children, in Colorado when he flew out to Telluride to meet Kushner and his wife, first daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump, according to the New York Times.
The paper reports that Kushner and Ivanka had been traveling in Telluride that weekend. The sneaker mogul was not joined by his wife during the meeting.
Reached by the Times for comment on his meeting with Kushner, the rap superstar took to Twitter.
“I’m willing to do a live interview with the New York Time [sic] about my meeting with Jared,” he wrote on the social media platform, adding that they discussed “PowerNomics,” a book about black empowerment by Dr. Claude Anderson.
The paper reported that West declined to elaborate on his meeting with the first son-in-law in a follow-up phone interview, but did “express anger about abortion rates among Black women” before saying he “didn’t reflexively support Democrats.”

"…people on computers in basements."
He seems to talk about basements a lot. Must be an east coast thing.
Tax consumption, not productivity!
It's a fake site but it is sort of true that the CDC did say,
"A positive test result shows you may have antibodies from an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. However, there is a chance a positive result means that you have antibodies from an infection with a virus from the same family of viruses (called coronaviruses), such as the one that causes the common cold."

Yes, mostly on non-essentials but it is only slightly higher and we won't be paying income taxes at all. One great equalizer is that everyone buys things and so everyone will then pay taxes, not like it is now where 50 percent of Americans don't pay any income tax. Corporations and manufacturers will also have to pay higher percentages of taxes on their "costs of goods sold" but they won't be paying it on their income. This also means that there will be "value added" taxes (VAT) that are assessed incrementally. Just a short explanation.
One of the first successful Russian-backed misinformation efforts of the 2020 election tricked Donald Trump Jr. and Ted Cruz into helping spread false claims about Portland protesters
Tyler Sonnemaker 29 minutes ago
Several high-profile conservatives including Donald Trump Jr. and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas shared Russian misinformation, the The New York Times reported Tuesday.
In Portland, Oregon, protests against police brutality have continued for more than 70 consecutive days. The protesters themselves have been largely peaceful, but have also on some occasions lit bonfires.
In one of those instances, footage from Ruptly, the video arm of Russian state-backed media outlet Russia Today, showed some protesters using a Bible and American flag to start a fire, which others eventually put out, according to The New York Times.
Multiple local media outlets reported that the protests had been peaceful throughout the day and that the fire was started only at the end of the night as a dwindling crowd of somewhere between a few dozen and 100 people spoke about the Black Lives Matter movement, while only one mentioned a Bible being involved at all.
But Ruptly, which has livestreamed the protests and published highlight clips nightly, focused its summary video that night on the burning of what appeared to be a single Bible, The New York Times reported. Twice, it tweeted the video, noting the Bible being set ablaze both times.
A Twitter user with just a few followers also tweeted the video shortly before deleting their account, but not before right-wing agitator Ian Miles Cheong retweeted them, adding his own false claim that the protesters burned "a stack of Bibles."
Cheong's tweet then went viral, sparking coverage from prominent and conservative media outlets and blogs including the New York Post, The Federalist, Gateway Pundit, and The Blaze, as well as retweets from Trump Jr. and Sen. Cruz.
The success of Ruptly's misleading coverage of the Portland protests reveals how Russia's misinformation tactics have evolved since the 2016 presidential election, where American intelligence agencies have repeatedly concluded that Russia interfered with the aim of hurting Hillary Clinton's candidacy.
