Twitter Deplatforms Website That Released Audio of Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Discussing FIRING VIKTOR SHOKIN Who Was Investigating Hunter Biden

An audio tape was released by Creative Destruction Media in May where Joe Biden is heard pressuring former Ukrainian President Poroshenko to fire former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

The men discuss the firing of then State Prosecutor Shokin in order to prevent the continued investigation into Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and other criminal actions.

Victor Shokin was investigating Joe Biden’s son Hunter at the time and his work at Burisma Holdings.

Joe Biden was US Vice President under Obama.

Poroshenko eventually complied and fired Shokin.

This presentation with the phone call audio was revealed in May by CD Media.

Transcribed from the Video——-

Poroshenko: (7:10 mark) I have some good news… Yesterday I went and seat with the general prosecutor’s office.

Joe Biden: Yes.

Poroshenko: …. I especially asked him to resign… as his position as a state prosecutor… He promised to give me statement of his resignation… One hour he gave me statement of his presentation.

Joe Biden: Great!….

Joe Biden: (10:20 mark) I am prepared to a public signing for a commitment for a billion dollars. Again I am not suggesting you want it or don’t want it. I am suggesting that is what I am prepared to do. Again it won’t be finalized… Let me when you and I finished speaking let me huddle with my team… I agree with you there is a sense of urgency here.

Joe Biden — (14:30 minute mark from November 2016 call) Congratulations in getting the new Prosecutor General. I know there’s a lot more to that. I really think that’s good. It is going to be critical that he works to repair the damage of Shokin. I’m a man of my word. Now that the new prosecutor general is in place we’re ready to move forward to signing the one billion dollar loan guarantee. And I don’t know how you want to go about that… I’ll leave it to you to how you want it done and where you want it done.

Here is the section where Joe Biden starts talking and Joe Biden mentions Donald Trump!

From the audio — Joe Biden tells Poroshenko: We will help you get the vote… Let me ask you one thing before I forget, Privatbank… This is getting very, very close. What I don’t want to have happen. I don’t want Trump to get into *** where he thinks he’s about to buy into a situation… where it is about to collapse where he is going to pour more money into Ukraine… So anything you can do to push the Privatbank to closure so that the IMF loan comes forward I stress this is critical to your economic and national security.

CD MEDIA PROMISED THERE WAS MORE COMING!

Do Not Forget — DEMOCRATS IMPEACHED TRUMP OVER AN ALLEGED QUID-PRO-QUO.

Virginia Plans Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccinations For All Residents

As Friday's hospitalization numbers across the Sun Belt appear to confirm CDC head Dr. Robert Redfield's assertion that the American COVID-19 outbreak has peaked and is starting to fade, the State of Virginia is setting a new precedent by seriously discussing forcing Virginians to be vaccinated with whatever rushed-to-marked candidate the FDA approves first.

During an interview that aired on Friday, the state's health commissioner said he planned to invoke state law to make vaccinations mandatory - once a western product is available, presumably.

Here's more from ABC News 8:

State Health Commissioner Dr. Norman Oliver told 8News on Friday that he plans to mandate coronavirus vaccinations for Virginians once one is made available to the public.

Virginia state law gives the Commissioner of Health the authority to mandate immediate immunizations during a public health crisis if a vaccine is available. Health officials say an immunization could be released as early as 2021.

Dr. Oliver says that, as long as he is still the Health Commissioner, he intends to mandate the coronavirus vaccine.

"It is killing people now, we don’t have a treatment for it and if we develop a vaccine that can prevent it from spreading in the community we will save hundreds and hundreds of lives," Oliver said.

Pro-medical-choice activists in the state argue that the issue is a matter of medical choice, and that the hasty "expedited" approval process being implemented by the FDA is grounds for concern. State health authorities insist, meanwhile, that they would never mandate a vaccine that hadn't already proven to be safe.

Virginia Freedom Keepers Director of Communications Kathleen Medaries, a mother of three from Chesterfield, says this is a matter of medical choice.This is not a Republican or Democrat issue. It’s not a pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine issue," Medaries said. "For me, it’s an issue of being able to assess each vaccine for myself and my family one at a time."

[…]

"He shouldn’t be the one person to make a decision for all of Virginians,”"Medaries responded.

The state's top medical official is opposed to a bill that has been put forth in the state assembly that would create more exemptions to the mandatory vaccination power, allowing exemptions on religious and other grounds.

Oliver believes that COVID-19 is a public health emergency that should take precedent over everything else, and that vaccine-assisted herd immunity is the state’s best and only real defense.

The decision comes after Massachusetts said it would make the flu vaccine mandatory this year as part of a campaign to protect the state's medical system. We suspect Virginia and Massachusetts won't be the only states to discuss mandatory COVID and/or flu vaccination in the coming weeks, as the school year begins.

Chicago Mayor Defends Policing Double Standard: 'I Have a Right to Make Sure That My Home Is Secure'

The George Floyd protests have devolved into violent and destructive riots in cities across America as Democratic politicians have carried water for the rioters, insisting they are merely “peaceful protesters” demonstrating against “police brutality.” They have ordered police to stand down in the face of violence and condemned President Trump for sending federal law enforcement to protect the federal courthouse in Portland. Yet many of these leftist politicians are quick to defend their own homes and families from the violence they publicly deny exists. The Chicago police have banned protests of any kind in front of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s residence, for instance.

Lightfoot, who has vocally supported the protesters, defended her double standard in a press conference on Thursday.

“I think that residents of this city, understanding the nature of the threats that we are receiving on a daily basis, on a daily basis, understand I have a right to make sure that my home is secure,” Lightfoot said, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Reporters pressed Lightfoot on the issue at a press conference focused on an unrelated topic. The police ban on protests in front of the mayor’s house surfaced in a July email from then-Shakespeare District Cmdr. Melvin Roman to officers under his command.

“Please be advised that we are no longer allowing (any) protesters across the street from mayors (sic) residence … please make sure every officer in the house knows that if anyone shows up to protest (they) are to be immediately told that it is against the city code and state law to protest on a residential neighborhood,” Roman wrote. “They need to be told to leave immediately.”

Lightfoot’s predecessor, Rahm Emanuel, never enjoyed such protection, while former President Barack Obama’s residence was shut down for everyone except residents after his election in 2008.

The mayor insisted that such comparisons “don’t make sense” amid the George Floyd riots.

“I’m not going to make any excuses for the fact that, given the threats I have personally received, given the threats to my home and my family, I’m going to do everything I can to make sure they’re protected,” Lightfoot declared. “I make no apologies whatsoever for that.”

Since the order and even before it, Chicago cops have used barricades to repeatedly block protesters from accessing the block around Lightfoot’s residence. In one standoff, police even brought in an armored vehicle to secure the area.

In addition to the police presence on her block, Lightfoot receives 24/7 protection from police, including officers stationed at her residence. Sources told the Tribune that the policing has “sometimes siphoned away resources from the area’s police district … leading to quiet grumbling.”

Chicago law bans protests in residential neighborhoods, but Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown admitted that the cops do not always enforce it. He said the city tries to give “wiggle room” for protesters.

Yet Brown defended the police presence on Lightfoot’s block by citing the fact that peaceful protests have been “hijacked” by agitators. “We have seen very peaceful First Amendment protests for the most part but embedded in each of those protests have been very violent people. And they’re embedded. They put up umbrellas. And they come for a fight,” he said. “So we have to prepare for what we’ve seen.”

He did not explain why other Chicago residents do not enjoy the privilege of having police “prepare for what we’ve seen” by protecting their neighborhoods.

Joe Biden's mysteriously disappearing "Dislikes" on YouTube

The number of DNC convention 'Dislikes' on video streams dropped Friday below where they stood Thursday night, causing suspicion YouTube might be suppressing negative engagement for Biden.

During Joe Biden's presidential nomination acceptance speech Thursday night, both his personal YouTube page and the Democratic Party's YouTube page saw strong, negative reactions from live audiences. In fact, "Dislikes" outnumbered "Likes," in real time.

Yet both pages' "Dislikes" mysteriously dropped in the hours after the Democratic National Convention (DNC) had concluded. The changing statistics led some on social media to wonder if the Google-owned YouTube platform was protecting Biden.

The number of Democratic convention stream "Dislikes"or people pressing a button saying they did not like the content onscreendropped on Friday below where they stood on Thursday last night. The removed Dislikes could be a signal that YouTube is concerned about fake accounts or bots trying to influence the election or indicative of something else, experts said.

Tech giants have for years been in the crosshairs of Republicans for perceived anti-conservative bias.

There were many more "Dislikes" than "Likes" on DNC proceedings Thursday, but many of those "Dislikes" later disappeared, and the ratio shifted in the other direction. Monday's DNC proceedings, however, on Friday evening had more "Dislikes" than "Likes," though the ratio had tightened.

Just the News observed the drop in "Dislikes" in real time between Thursday evening and mid-day Friday, a trend observed by additional YouTube users as well.

A video posted by YouTube user "nina e" illustrated screen shots of the number of '"Dislikes" for the 2020 Democratic National Convention Livestream dropping.

"After seeing many dislikes disappearing on videos of the DNC Conventions, i [sic] decided to do a screen record to document the censorship in favour of Joe Biden. On this video you can see me refreshing/reopening the page of the video of the 4th DNC Convention , the dislike were 5,9k, and when I reopened the page, 2,1k dislikes magically disappeared🤷🏻‍♀️ while likes even increased…later on, the erasing grew bigger but i didn't document it. It is unknown if dislikes are being frozen by continuously erasing them as they appear.

"This is CENSORSHIP to hide Joe Biden's unpopularity, in order to motivate people to vote for him and suppress Trump voters."

Neither representatives from Google (which owns YouTube) nor the Biden campaign responded to requests for comment from Just the News.

"We have all these new metrics and we're trying to figure out what they mean," said data expert and pollster Scott Rasmussen, who conducts the Just the News' Daily Poll. "And we know that there's a lot of trolling that goes on with online social media platforms. So it's hard to know how to interpret these numbers, obviously, you would never like to have more negatives than positives. But at the end of the day, Joe Biden's challenge is that Joe Biden is never going to be a beloved candidate. His challenge is to be less disliked than Donald Trump, his challenge is to be less disliked than Hillary Clinton, and his entire campaign is about focusing attention on Donald Trump, and so all the rest of this has to be seen in that perspective."

Rasmussen noted that in 2016, many people said they voted for candidate Donald Trump because they were opposed to Democrat Hillary Clinton rather than being enthusiastically pro-Trump, and he said there could be a reverse now with many voters "holding their noses" to vote for Biden because they're anti Trump.

"Certainly there will be people who who do that, absolutely," Rasmussen said. "Many of them will be supporters of Bernie Sanders, and some of them will be 'Never Trumpers.' But yes, I would expect that will happen."

Rasmussen said that in 2016, there were 15% of voters who said that both major candidates were unqualified for the job, and that two-thirds of those voters voted for Trump.

"And I think this time around we may see a similar dynamic, where there will be a significant portion of the electorate, whether it be bigger or smaller than before who says both candidates are unqualified for the job," Rasmussen said. "And the question will be, can Biden reverse those numbers? Will two-thirds of the people be holding their nose to vote for him, or will two thirds be elected in 2016 and voting for Trump?

Mayor Jenny Durkan vetos measure by Seattle City Council to defund the police and cut up to 100 police officers

The fight isn't over yet in Seattle

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said she would veto budget changes passed by the Seattle City Council to defund the police. The proposals could have cut up to 100 officer positions.

The proposals follow upon demands from Black Lives Matter protesters to "defund the police" and reroute the funds to social services, the lack of which is said to be the root cause of crime and violence.

Durkan indicated that she was open to something similar to what the council had passed, but that they had not collaborated enough with her office before passing he measure.

"This veto was because the bills as passed did not have the type of collaboration that I think we will have going forward, and that I'm hopeful we will have going forward," she explained on Friday.

The proposal would have only cut $4 million from the department's $400 million budget. Seattle has about 1,400 police officers.

Sawant dissents

Kshama Sawant, one of the most far left progressive members of the city council, voted against the measure, but only because they didn't go far enough to defund the police.

"Seattle Mayor Durkan remains hostile to defunding police. Democratic Councilmembers completely failed to keep their public promises of 50% defunding in the Summer budget vote, furthermore, approved an austerity budget after having promised anti-austerity," Sawant tweeted on Thursday.

Criminal justice alternatives

Durkan however, appeared to approve of seeking community-based alternatives to traditional policing methods as a response to crime in the city.

"We must stop gun violence," Durkan emphasized.

"We know that enforcement and policing is only one part of the work that needs to be done to do so," she added. "We also have to work with trusted community partners, who can work both to de-escalate situations, and provide alternatives to the criminal justice system."

Durkan also noted that there's been a 50% increase in shootings since June 1st in the beleaguered city.

The Democratic mayor made headlines in June when she angrily denounced Black Lives Matter protesting at her home and vandalizing it after she had previously shown support for the movement.
