Bill Clinton Pictured Getting Neck Massage From Epstein Victim, ‘Would You Mind Giving it a Crack?’

 

Pictures of former President Bill Clinton getting a neck massage from Jeffrey Epstein’s victim have surfaced.

 

The Daily Mail exclusively obtained photos of Slick Willie enjoying a neck massage from 22-year-old massage therapist, Chauntae Davies.

 

Clinton was reportedly complaining of a stiff neck after falling asleep on Epstein’s private jet dubbed “Lolita Express” during a ‘humanitarian’ trip to Africa in 2002.

 

Clinton reportedly said to the massage therapist, ‘Would you mind giving it a crack?’

 

The Daily Mail reported:

 

Bill Clinton is seen with a satisfied smile as he leans back to enjoy a neck massage from a Jeffrey Epstein victim in never-before-seen photographs obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.

 

The pictures emerged as Clinton is set to make a rallying speech in support of Joe Biden at the Democratic convention on Tuesday night.

 

In the photos, the former President sits comfortably and laughs as Chauntae Davies, then a 22-year-old massage therapist who acted as Epstein’s personal masseuse, rubs her hands into his shoulders to get out the kinks in his neck.

 

Clinton, then 56, had complained of having a stiff neck after falling asleep on Epstein’s infamous private jet, nicknamed The Lolita Express, while on a humanitarian trip with the pedophile to Africa in September of 2002.

 

Epstein’s accused madam Ghislaine Maxwell, who is now in prison on sex trafficking charges, repeatedly encouraged Davies to give Clinton a massage while the group was refueling at a small airport in Portugal after flying in from New York.

 

After Maxwell’s insistence, Clinton asked the twenty-something: ‘Would you mind giving it a crack?’

 

Last month a judge unsealed Ghislaine Maxwell documents revealing a witness spotted Bill Clinton on Epstein’s St. James Island with two young girls.

 

Epstein’s pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell is currently in federal custody awaiting trial.

 

A witness interview revealed Bill Clinton was at Epstein’s pedophile island with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and “2 young girls.”

 

Clinton released a statement claiming he has never been to Epstein’s pedophile island.

As EU talks sanctions, Putin warns Merkel & Macron foreign interference in Belarus’ affairs is ‘unacceptable’ & could backfire

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin has told his German and French counterparts Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron that any attempt by outside forces to intervene in the political crisis in Belarus would be counterproductive.

 

In two separate phone calls on Tuesday, initiated by Berlin and Paris, Putin stressed that placing external pressure on the leadership in Minsk is unacceptable. Russia and Belarus have formal military and political alliances, via the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) and a 'union state' agreement.

 

According to the German side, Chancellor Merkel told Putin that Alexander Lukashenko's government must stop using violence against peaceful demonstrators, enter into a dialogue with the opposition, and immediately release political prisoners.

 

The chancellor's comments came amid various discussions among European Union members about how to address the situation in Belarus. EU ministers agreed last Friday to draw up a list of targets for a new round of sanctions, and politicians in Poland and Lithuania, and other states, have pushed for interventions, to various degrees.

 

“The parties thoroughly discussed the situation in Belarus following the presidential election,” the Kremlin statement read. “Russia pointed out that foreign attempts to interfere in the country’s domestic affairs were unacceptable and could further escalate tensions.”

 

“Hope was expressed that the situation will improve as soon as possible,” it concluded.

 

Later the same day, a second call took place with President Macron, in which Libya was also discussed.

 

“When discussing the complicated situation in Belarus, Vladimir Putin stressed that interference in the internal affairs of the republic and putting pressure on the Belarusian leadership would be unacceptable," the Kremlin explained. "Both sides expressed a desire for an early solution to the problems that have arisen."

 

Belarus is arguably Russia's closest ally and is a full member of two Moscow-dominated alliances which serve as alternatives to the EU and NATO in Europe – the EEU and the CTSO, in addition to the ‘union state’ agreement.

 

By contrast with some of the rhetoric from Western Europe, the official response from Moscow has been measured. Numerous Russian experts have expressed the view that the Kremlin would prefer if the situation in Belarus did not become another ‘East versus West’ geopolitical struggle.

Senate Panel Releases Final Report On Russian Interference In 2016, Says Manafort Posed "Grave Counterintelligence Threat"

 

The Senate Intelligence Committee has released a 966 page final report on Russian election interference in the 2016 presidential election, and outlines "Counterintelligence Threats and Vulnerabilities" during the race.

 

The panel interviewed over 200 witnesses and reviewed over 1 million pages of documents, according to The Hill - finding that while Russia made efforts to interfere in the election through disinformation and cyber campaigns, there was insufficient evidence that the Trump campaign 'colluded' with the Kremlin, as we were promised was the case by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the MSM over the course of several years.

 

"No probe into this matter has been more exhaustive," said acting Senate Intelligence Chairman Marco Rubio (R-FL) in a statement, adding "We can say, without any hesitation, that the Committee found absolutely no evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russian government to meddle in the 2016 election."

 

Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the Committee's Vice Chairman, had a different interpretation - saying "At nearly 1,000 pages, Volume 5 stands as the most comprehensive examination of ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign to date — a breathtaking level of contacts between Trump officials and Russian government operatives that is a very real counterintelligence threat to our elections."

 

And while there was no evidence of coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia, the panel found that Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's contacts with 'Kremlin-linked' officials (as the Washington Post describes them) posed a "grave counterintelligence threat."

UN-backed tribunal names main culprit behind 2005 bombing of Lebanese PM Hariri, didn’t find proof of Syria or Hezbollah links

 

The Special Tribunal for Lebanon has convicted a suspected Hezbollah member for playing a lead role in the killing of Lebanese PM Rafik Hariri 15 years ago, but found no proof Syria or the militant group were behind the bombing.

 

Rafik Hariri, then prime minister of Lebanon – and a Sunni Muslim billionaire who enjoyed close ties with the US and Gulf monarchies – fell victim to a devastating bomb attack on February 2005. The blast destroyed his motorcade as it drove past the St. George Hotel in Beirut, killing Hariri and over two dozen people.

 

Over 15 years later, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), established by the UN, has handed out a 2,600-page verdict in The Hague where the court is headquartered.

 

The Tuesday hearing was centered around four defendants, all alleged members of the Lebanese Shiite militia group Hezbollah, who were tried in absentia since none of them was ever found by the authorities.

Gaza shuts down its only power plant after Israel suspends fuel shipments

 

Gaza hospitals and vital facilities are said to be at risk after the lone power plant in Hamas-run Gaza shut down, less than a week after Israel suspended fuel shipments to the Palestinian enclave.

 

Israeli authorities made the decision after dozens of incendiary balloons launched from Gaza caused brush fires in southern Israel. The Israeli military warned it will not tolerate the balloon incidents and carried out airstrikes over the past week against positions held by Hamas and other factions.

 

Israel cites security concerns in imposing restrictions in Gaza. Fuel shipments were stopped on August 13 “in light of the continued launching of incendiary balloons from the Strip toward [Israel] and of the undermining of security stability,” the Defense Ministry said.

 

Gaza officials said the closure of the power plant on Tuesday will cause disruptions at hospitals, which will have to rely on generators.

Rice: U.S. Will Be ‘Unsalvageable,’ ‘Irreparably Damaged’ if Trump Reelected

 

Monday on CBS’s “The Late Show,” former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice said if President Donald Trump is reelected in November, America “would be unsalvageable.”

 

Rice said, “I think people may not fully appreciate just how much we have lost in terms of our national security and our standing in the world over the last four years. Our allies don’t know what to make of us. We’re not leading them with confidence based on principle and shared values. We’re lying from the White House. The president of the United States is a liar, and the whole world knows it. We are incompetent. We are supposed to be the most scientifically advanced country in the world, and we have been at the bottom of the heap in dealing with the pandemic. The president praises Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un and thinks Xi Jinping, the leader of China, is the great leader to be emulated. It’s just nuts. Everything is upside down.”

 

She added, “I’m deeply, deeply concerned that, if we had four more years of this, we would not be an America that anybody can recognize. The situation would be unsalvageable. Our national security and standing in the world, irreparably damaged. It’s a life and death situation we’re in. It’s not too extreme a statement to make both domestically and internationally.”

Deborah Birx wishes US lockdown looked like Italy's, where people couldn't leave their homes without gov't permission

 

America drew a line

 

If you thought the coronavirus lockdown last spring was oppressive or find the various mask mandates to be a bridge too far, then be thankful White House Coronavirus Task Force coordinator Deborah Birx's hopes did not come true.

 

Birx said Monday that she wished the United States had gone into a lockdown that looked like the one Italy's government imposed: a lockdown that forced Italians to remain in their homes for days or weeks at a time — except for "essential" activities.

What did she say?

 

During a roundtable COVID discussion led by Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) on Monday, CNN reported, Birx shared what she had learned as the task force continued to monitor and make recommendations as the pandemic spread across the U.S.

 

One thing that stood out to her was how Americans reacted to restrictions and what they would put up with to fight the spread of the virus. She went on to lament that the country was not able to implement a lockdown like the one in Italy.

 

"I wish that when we went into lockdown, we looked like Italy," she said.

 

What was so great about the Italy lockdown, at least in Birx's mind? It was strict, as in you-have-to-have-a-special-certificate-to-be-out kind of strict.

 

"When Italy locked down, I mean, people weren't allowed out of their houses," Birx said. "And they couldn't come out but once every two weeks to buy groceries for one hour, and they had to have a certificate that said they were allowed."

 

Then she noted the obvious difference between Italians and Americans.

 

"Americans don't react well to that kind of prohibition," Birx noted.

 

She went on to tell the roundtable that, knowing the U.S. can't do an Italy-style lockdown, there are things Americans should be doing and not doing, CNN reported.

 

Birx praised the moves Arizona made to battle a sudden surge in cases earlier this summer, in which limited numbers of people were allowed to go to malls and restaurants while gyms and bars were forced to stay closed. Also, masks were mandated and groups of more than 10 people were banned.

 

She claimed that Arizona's efforts "probably" caused the number of cases to drop "by more than 80%," CNN said and added that what Arizonans did could be replicated by all Americans in order slow the virus.

 

"Tens of thousands of lives can be saved if we wear masks, and we don't have parties in our backyards … taking those masks off," Birx said, CNN reported.

 

Italy has outperformed the U.S. on the number of confirmed cases per capita. Since COVID tracking began, Italy has seen 421 cases per 100,000 people compared to 1,667 per 100,000 in the U.S., according to the New York Times. Over the last seven days, the United States has seen 108 cases per 100,000, while Italy has seen six per 100,000.

 

But numbers of COVID-related deaths are much closer. In fact, since the beginning of COVID trading, Italy has had 59 COVID deaths per 100,000, while the U.S. has had 52 per 100,000. Over the last seven days, the U.S. has had two deaths per 100,000 and Italy has had less than one per 100,000.

California confirms 1st case of PLAGUE in 5 years, health officials urge residents to take precautions

 

California health officials have reported that a resident of South Lake Tahoe has tested positive for plague, marking the first such case in the state in half a decade. The individual is recovering at home.

 

It’s believed that the person was infected by a flea while walking their dog, El Dorado County’s Health and Human Services Agency said in a statement. The individual is being treated by medical professionals but did not require hospitalization. An investigation into the matter is still ongoing.

 

The uncommon but potentially lethal bacterial disease is usually transmitted by fleas found on infected squirrels and other rodents in the wild. Plague can be treated with antibiotics if detected at an early stage.

 

The state has gone for several years without a confirmed case of plague. The last instance, in 2015, involved two people who contracted the disease at Yosemite National Park. Both individuals made a full recovery.

Per CDC Data the COVID-19 Death Rate Peaked in the US in April – There are More Pneumonia Deaths Than COVID-19 Deaths in 2020

 

We all agree that the data is a mess but based on what the CDC is reporting, COVID-19 peaked in April this year and has been going down ever since.

 

The CDC reported data as of the middle of August related to COVID-19 and pneumonia deaths year to date. The most recent data shows as follows:

 

What we clearly see from the current data is that both COVID and pneumonia peaked in April. The increase of reported deaths in July was minor and certainly not a material event. Also, what is apparent from the data is that there are more pneumonia deaths to date this year (159,990) than COVID deaths (153,727). This is apparent in the chart as COVID deaths were not reported until March while pneumonia deaths started earlier in the year.

 

The Democrats and the MSM want you to believe that COVID-19 is on fire right now and it clearly is not.

 

President Trump held a press conference Saturday night and he shared the following:

 

Eighty-five percent of reporting jurisdictions report a steep decline in Wuhan virus cases, despite almost 70 million tests. This number of tests is greater than those administered in all of Europe combined.

Nationwide, cases declined by 6%.

Test positivity is 6.5%, which is a 71% reduction from April and a 15% reduction from mid-July.

Hospitalizations have been halved since April.

Nursing home and long-term care facilities have 1% of the U.S. population but account for almost 50% of fatalities.

Retail spending is at an all-time high, with auto production alone surging 28%.

The stock market is peaking again, and the NASDAQ is at an all-time high.

China is struggling and has been buying massive amounts of corn, soybeans, and cattle from America.

The administration continues to cut regulations.

Small business optimism is higher than at any month in the Obama administration.

Industrial production is increasing at the fastest rate ever recorded.

 

You really can’t believe almost anything reported in the MSM these days. They want Americans to believe that COVID-19 is getting worse all the time.

It is not.

The only economies which are not growing now in the greatest recovery ever are those in inner Democrat led cities and states. The rest of the US is in an economic rebound never seen before in history.

Nolte: Andrew Cuomo Rushes to Release Book About His Coronavirus ‘Leadership’

 

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) is rushing the pre-election release of a book that will detail his “leadership” during New York’s coronavirus crisis — which is not over, by the way; but let’s not dwell on semantics.

 

Here’s a look at the cover:

American Leadership: Lessons and Leadership from the Covid-19 Pandemic will hit bookstores on October 13, but not in New York City, where most of the bookstores are either boarded up or closed due to the fact that if New York were its own country, Cuomo’s lessons in leadership led that country to being — by every possible metric — the worst hit in the world.

 

At least now we know how Cuomo spent his time when he wasn’t on CNN playing grab-ass with his brother, Typhoid Fredo.

 

Random House describes the book as “A powerful testament to true leadership in times of extreme crisis.”

 

The chapters I’m most looking forward to are…

 

Chapter 4: How My Leadership Killed all the Grandmas and Why that Was Necessary

Chapter 5: How My Leadership Spread the Virus To Swing States — You’re Welcome, Joe!

Chapter 9: To Clean or Not to Clean the Subways

Chapter 11: How My Leadership Drove New York City Into Chapter 11

 

What’s next on Random House list of releases…

 

Barack Obama’s Lessons and Leadership on Racial Healing?

 

Joe Biden’s Lessons and Leadership on Public Speaking?

 

Nancy Pelosi’s Lessons and Leadership on Undetected Plastic Surgery

 

Jerry Nadler’s Lessons and Leadership on Rocking a Speedo?

 

Ted Kennedy’s Lessons and Leadership on Defensive Driving?

 

James Comey’s Lessons and Leadership on Integrity?

 

We all know what’s going on here… Even though Andrew Cuomo’s “leadership” devastated his state with plague… Even though Andrew Cuomo’s “leadership” has turned New York City — once the most vibrant city in the world — into a desolate ghost town, the fake news media intend to use the book as a club to bludgeon Trump to death with. The fact the book hits the streets just weeks before the election is no coincidence.

 

Wonder how much Cuomo will make off this particular ghost-written propaganda?

 

When you consider his previous memoir, 2014’s “All Things Possible: Setbacks and Success in Politics and Life’’ sold only 3,200 copies and netted Cuomo a cool $783,000 — which works out to $245 per book for a book with a list price of $29.99 — I smell a windfall coming.

 

Go back and re-read this entire piece and let it serve as a reminder of how the left has rigged the entire system….

 

You see, if you’re one of them, you can’t lose… Even if your state is the biggest coronavirus holocaust on the planet, even if you pour death into nursing homes, even if your lockdown policies destroy a once-great city, even if your crummy book only sells 3,200 copies.

 

The system is so rigged, even a proven failure like Andrew Cuomo always lands on top.

Canadian Finance Minister Resigns Amid Scandal, Replaced By Trump-Critical Deputy PM

 

Canadian Finance Minister Bill Morneau has resigned his ministerial post and his parliamentary seat amid the growing WE Charity scandal that has engulfed the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

 

Mr Morneau announced his resignation on Monday, stating it was his decision and he was not pushed out of government by the Prime Minister.

 

“Since I’m not running again, and since I expect that we will have a long and challenging recovery, I think it’s important that the prime minister has by his side a finance minister who has that longer-term vision,” Morneau said, the CBC reports.

 

Both Morneau and Prime Minister Trudeau are at the centre of the WE Charity scandal and are subject to an investigation by Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion.

 

The investigation comes after the Trudeau government earmarked $43.53 million to the charity to run a nearly billion-dollar student grant programme, while family members of both Trudeau and Morneau had received funds from WE.

 

Prime Minister Trudeau’s mother Margaret Trudeau, for example, received nearly $500,000 in cash and expenses for speaking at WE charity events, while Trudeau’s brother Alexandre received around $32,000 from the charity.

 

Now former Finance Minister Morneau was also revealed to have had to repay travel expenses to WE amounting to $41,366. Morneau’s daughter Grace also works directly for the charity, while his other daughter Clare has spoken at WE events in the past.

 

Morneau has also presided over the largest deficit in modern Canadian history, with the government spending creating a record $343.2 billion deficit in 2020, much of that spending in response to the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic outbreak.

Nelson Statue Vandal Walks Free After Judge Lets Him Off With Conditional Discharge

 

Jae Ikhera, who repeatedly vandalised a statue of Admiral Lord Nelson in Norfolk, has been allowed to walk out of court with a conditional discharge despite being convicted of two counts of criminal damage.

 

The 19-year-old vandalised the memorial to the British icon, who dealt crushing defeats to Revolutionary France and Napoleonic France at the Battle of the Nile and the Battle of Trafalgar, which put an end to Napoleon’s dreams of conquering the Holy Land and Great Britain, respectively, among many other battles — two of which claimed his right eye and right arm — on two separate occasions.

 

But despite being convicted of desecrating the monument near Norwich Cathedral, a judge opted to let him walk out of court with nothing but a 12-month conditional discharge and an order to pay a victim surcharge of just £22, with no requirement to cover pay for costs or compensation, the Eastern Daily Press reports.

 

Ikhera’s defence lawyer, Simon Nicholls, had argued that “Jae has always accepted responsibility for these two actions. Jae intended to start a debate about Lord Nelson which Jae has been successful in doing.”

 

Nicholls added that “Even the cathedral said ‘although a national hero (Lord Nelson) was also like all of us, flawed in some ways’,” as if that justified defacing the memorial, dating all the way back to the 1800s — an argument which the judge seemingly found persuasive, given the lightness of Ikhera’s sentence.

UK: Alleged Jihadi Terror Plotter Tells Court ISIS ‘Created by America’ to ‘Increase Islamophobia’

 

An alleged Islamist terror plotter has told an English court he viewed terrorist videos only as “research” and that the Islamic State was fabricated by the U.S. to encourage Islamophobia.

 

26-year-old Hisham Muhammad, who is alleged to have been modifying a drone to drop a “harmful device” and planning an armed “lone wolf attack”, possibly against members of the military or police officers, said of the Islamic State: “I don’t believe it exists, I believe it was created by America. I believe it was created by America to take away the rights of Muslims.”

 

“I have long held the suspicion as a devout Muslim that much of the material about Islamic State is misrepresented or exaggerated in order to increase Islamophobia, especially in countries like the UK where there is a desire to restrict Muslim immigration,” Muhammed said, according to a Bury Times court report, adding that there needs to be “a lot more research” on the terror organisation.

 

Prosecutor Anne Whyte QC told the court Muhammed had watched scores of extremist videos including “nasheed” chants, covering such themes as “jihadis speaking of holy war” and including such lyrics as “by the knife of horror we cut their necks”.

 

“You are not conducting research, you are motivating yourself,” Whyte said of Muhammed, who also performed web searches on suicide belts and machetes.

 

“It’s not true, it’s not true”, he responded.

 

The Whitfield resident, who viewed extremist material “umpteen” times, according to Whyte, said he did not support the songs’ sentiments, and merely “liked the tune”.

 

“I listen to gangster rap but I don’t support it,” he claimed by way of explanation.

 

The trial continues.

Public Health England replaced by new institute charged with protecting UK from ‘external health threats’

 

UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock has unveiled a new organization tasked with protecting the public from infectious diseases and other health threats. The government agency will absorb Public Health England.

 

The National Institute for Health Protection (NIHP) will spearhead the country’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, Hancock said on Tuesday. The organization will merge Public Health England, NHS Test and Trace, and the Joint Biosecurity Centre, putting the three agencies under a single leadership team.

 

The new institute “will have a single and relentless mission to protect people from external threats to this country's health such as biological weapons, pandemics and of course infectious diseases of all kinds,” the health secretary said.

 

He noted that, while the three agencies were already working together closely, he wanted their integration to be “seamless.”

 

In a press release, the UK government said that the new organization will begin work immediately but won’t be “formalized” until spring 2021. Baroness Dido Harding, appointed earlier this year to lead the government’s contact tracing program, will serve as the interim executive chair of the institute. She will report directly to the health and social care secretary, according to the government statement.

“This is a Warning For What’s Coming!” – Veteran and California Business Owner Fed Up with Covid Lockdown Orders Puts County Board of Supervisors on Notice

 

A veteran and business owner living in Shasta County, California is completely fed up with the authoritarian Covid lockdown orders so he gave a stern warning to the Board of Supervisors.

 

Residents and business owners last week held a rally outside of the Board of Supervisors chamber and demanded Shasta County re-open and lift its ridiculous mask mandate.

 

Shasta County officials however pointed the finger at Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom.

 

“Our local health officer has not made any restrictions over and above what the state of California has, so we are doing all that we can to keep the county as open as possible,” Shasta County Health and Human Services Agency Director Donnell Ewert said, according to Redding.com. “We are one of roughly 20 counties that still are not on the (state) monitoring list…so Shasta County is open; it is, again, in the category of most open counties in California.”

 

Ten people have died from Coronavirus in the Northern California county so the residents have had it with the tyranny.

 

More than 80 citizens spoke last week asking the Board of Supervisors to open up Shasta County, but one business owner stood out for his bravery and stern warning to the tyrants.

Giuliani: De Blasio ‘Pathetic,’ Trump Should Declare BLM ‘A Domestic Terror Organization’

 

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani ripped New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio as “pathetic” and “an idiot,” during a Monday interview with Fox News host Martha MacCallum, and claimed Black Lives Matter should be labeled a domestic terrorist organization.

 

MacCallum began the segment by playing a clip of President Donald Trump saying of the leadership in New York City, “They’ve just let it go to hell. And I don’t know: is it because they’re bad people or they have no common sense or they just don’t know what they’re doing, but our beautiful diamond of this country has been let go to hell.”

 

MacCallum noted the staggering rise in crime in New York City, then played a clip of de Blasio responding to Trump, saying, “The president blusters and the president tries to draw attention to himself and rarely has much to back it up.”

 

MacCallum asked Giuliani, “What would you say to Mayor de Blasio?”

Giuliani answered:

 

Mayor de Blasio is pathetic. There are times in which a public official can be so incompetent, and he is, that people actually die as a result of his being in office. And that’s been the case with Mayor de Blasio, both during the pandemic and now with the irresponsible left-wing socialist actions that he’s taken. He’s driven by a ridiculously failed philosophy, which somehow robs him of the ability to see reality.

 

So how would you, in the middle of a crime wave, disband the most effective part of your police department, the anti-crime unit? How would you let 8,000 people out of prison during a period of time like that? Or not go crazy over the new bail law that he and (Andrew) Cuomo put into effect so that all the rioters that were arrested would be put back out on the street within a day?

 

“If I had this city for one month, I could change it around in one single month if I could be allowed to do what I had to do and all of it would be legal,” Giuliani continued. “He’s an idiot, he’s an incompetent, and he’s a communist.”

 

MacCallum noted the mayhem in major cities across the nation, noting the fact that many people who don’t live in those urban areas do not hear about it. Giuliani replied, “I don’t know any other way to describe it than it breaks my heart. I spent eight years as mayor, four years preparing to be mayor, twelve years of my life with the sole focus being how to reduce crime which I was told could not be done.”

 

He segued to de Blasio: “You have to understand: the man is limited. He’s not that smart; he is a silly left-winger, meaning he went on his honeymoon to Cuba and he supported the Sandinistas. Now if you’re that silly, you really shouldn’t be running a government. And in my view, and I know this is a very broad one, Democrats don’t know how to run cities. They’re too impractical.”

Is herd immunity closer than scientists first thought? Experts now believe pockets of New York and London could be immune from Covid-19 and as few as 10% of people may need to be infected

 

Herd immunity against Covid-19 could be closer than scientists first thought and as little as 10 per cent of people may need to be infected for the virus to fizzle out, experts say.

It means pockets of London and New York and countries like India may already be immune to the life-threatening disease, should a second wave hit.

 

Cases may not rise so drastically as they did during the first peak of the pandemic earlier this year because the disease has run out of room to spread, or the disease may be less severe if immunity is short-lived, scientists believe.

Previously it's been speculated 60 to 70 per cent of the population would need to suffer Covid-19 or be vaccinated to gain 'herd immunity' status. But that would be devastating and cause millions of deaths, which is why Britain quickly dropped the controversial strategy in March.

 

And scientists still do not have any firm proof as to how long immunity actually lasts once a person has fought off Covid-19, mainly because it is still shrouded in secrecy and has only been known to exist since the start of the year.

Modelling studies have started to suggest that a far lower threshold is needed to achieve herd immunity — with researchers believing it could be between 10 and 43 per cent.

 

The calculations account for swathes of people who are less likely to get infected. Immunity among the most socially active people could protect those who come into contact with fewer people, scientists say.

 

The true size of the pandemic is a mystery because millions of infected people were not tested during the height of the crisis, either because of a lack of Covid-19 swabs or because they never had any of the tell-tale symptoms.

Counting how many people who have coronavirus antibodies through blood tests is, therefore, considered the most accurate way of calculating how much of the population has already been infected.

 

But research has suggested that antibodies decline three months after infection — meaning only a fraction of true cases during the peak of the crisis may have been spotted and exactly how much immunity the world has developed is unknown.

 

And scientists say immunity in the UK is likely to be far higher than what Government antibody testing shows because it doesn't account for T-cells. Top immunologists have said the infection-fighting cells are typically more durable and long lasting than antibodies.

President Xi Jinping is facing widespread opposition within his Communist Party and leading China into 'disaster', insider claims

 

A retired Chinese professor of the country's top political school has revealed that President Xi Jinping is facing widespread opposition within his own party.

 

Cai Xia, who had taught democratic politics at the Central Party School of the Chinese Communist Party, also accused President Xi of 'killing a country' and leading China into 'disaster' in an interview with the Guardian.

 

Ms Cai made the remarks after being expelled from the Chinese Communist Party for allegedly calling President Xi a 'mafia boss' and his party a 'political zombie'.

Beirut blast ‘100 percent Israeli job’: Advisor to Iran’s Leader

 

Iran’s former defense minister and current military advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the recent deadly explosion in Beirut was “100 percent an Israeli job” meant to pit the Lebanese nation against Hezbollah and disarm the resistance movement.

 

In an interview with China’s Phoenix Television broadcast on Sunday, Hossein Dehqan stressed that nothing is expected from the Tel Aviv regime other than crime.

 

Asked about the August 4 blast in Beirut, Dehghan replied, “I think what happened is 100 percent an Israeli job” as it targeted food stocks.

 

“What is the message when you destroy the lifeline of a crisis-hit country that already has problems in this regard, except to put pressure on the people to create room for another purpose? In my opinion, this is 100 percent an Israeli job,” he added.

 

Dehqan also said that when the Israelis do something, they quickly make up a story to divert attention from it.

 

“For example, it is said that Hezbollah and the resistance are the cause of all problems of the Lebanese nation and that these explosives belonged to them. This is while the Lebanese nation considers Hezbollah as part of themselves and Hezbollah serves their security interests. Hezbollah has never acted against the Lebanese people,” he noted.

 

He further said Israel's goal is “to rally the Lebanese nation against Hezbollah and eventually disarm it.”

 

Almost 180 people are so far confirmed to have lost their lives, while more than 6,000 others were wounded in the powerful explosion that ripped through the Beirut port.

 

The blast took place in Beirut port warehouses storing highly explosive material, specifically ammonium nitrate, commonly used in both fertilizer and bombs.

 

The blast — one of the biggest non-nuclear explosions the world has ever seen — flattened much of the strategic port and left buildings in ruin.

Willie Brown admits it: Kamala Harris slept her way to the top

 

Kamala Harris, that vaunted self-righteous feminist candidate who's using her 'year of the woman' chops to challenge President Trump in 2020, has a little problem: She slept her way to the top.

 

You know, the mistress thing, not exactly moving on up based on hard work or merit, that little advantage of good looks (President Obama called her the 'best-looking' state attorney general), employed to their optimal practical use. Her political patron, former lawyer to pimps, Mayor of San Francisco, and State Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, admitted he helped her get her political start, writing in his bloggy San Francisco Chronicle column:

 

Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago. Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker.

 

And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco. I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians.

 

Now you know where we get these people from. Somehow Harris, who was in her late 20s or at most 30 when she dated the 60-year-old married Brown around 1994 did so because he was just so very irresistable. Here's how the San Francisco Chronicle reported it on Twitter:

 

WILLIE BROWN: "I’ve been peppered with calls from the national media about my 'relationship' with Kamala Harris, particularly since it became obvious that she was going to run for president. Yes, we dated."https://t.co/xkzR0YhIl0

— San Francisco Chronicle (@sfchronicle) January 26, 2019

 

That of course, was in exchange for certain kinds of favors. Her rival, Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren got her start playing fake Indian. Kamala went the old fashioned way, sleeping her way to the top. Democrats have some pool of candidates here in this 'it's our turn' year of the woman and out to Get Trump offerings.

 

Willie Brown, of course, was California's most powerful politician, which might have had something to do with why Harris was out 'dating' the married man twice her age. And it's interesting because Brown, a former attorney for pimps in his pre-political days, seems to have a taste for the kind of women often seen in a positive light by pimps, such as this one - who represents Brown's taste in women. Not that it mattered that he was married, he's always had a girlfriend in the picture, according to the article. And well, Kamala was one of them.

 

Other reports say that once Kamala got the office she wanted from Brown, she dumped him. Brown made a cutesy reference to Kamala saying she was going to ticket him for jaywalking, which sounds like overkill, probably the kind of statement someone with a guilty conscience would make, not wanting anyone to know about how she got her office. What's more, Harris has kept virtually all references to Brown out of her numerous memoirs on the market.

Missing ‘Young Democrats of Maryland’ Leader Found Dead in Washington DC

 

The president of the Young Democrats of Maryland was found dead in Washington DC on Sunday, a week after he went missing.

 

Joseph Kitchen, 34, was found dead one day after the Prince George County Police Department asked the public’s help in finding him.

 

It is unclear how Kitchen died.

Joseph Kitchen was last seen in-person in a state park in Annapolis on August 8.

 

The following Tuesday Kitchen participated in a Zoom meeting with fellow Democrat colleagues and it was shortly after the video conference that his brother said he went dark.

 

Kitchen’s brother could not get a hold of him and said his phone would go straight to voicemail — his social media was not active, which his brother said was unusual.

 

The Metropolitan Police Department in DC is leading the investigation into Kitchen’s death.
