Democratic congressman tells ex-Hunter Biden associate Bobulinski he’d defend him over ‘partisan hack’ claim

 

Donor records show that Bobulinski has contributed money to Democrats – including Rep. Ro Khanna

 

Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna told Hunter Biden’s former business associate Tony Bobulinski in a new message that he would defend him against claims that he is a “partisan hack” in the wake of his claims about the Biden family's business ventures, according to an email obtained by Fox News.

 

Bobulinski who says he was once involved in a joint-business venture with Hunter Biden and Jim Biden has come forward with documents, including emails and text messages, claiming that he met twice with former Vice President Joe Biden. Those claims conflict with the Democratic nominee's statements that he has had no involvement with, or discussions about, his family’s overseas business ventures.

 

Critics have slammed Bobulinski for going public with the accusations and documents with some accusing him of being a partisan of trying to take down Biden but the businessman has maintained that the “American people should be demanding that this is investigated.”

 

Donor records show that Bobulinski has contributed money to Democrats – including multiple times to Khanna, a California lawmaker, since 2013.

 

Fox News obtained an email from Khanna on Friday Oct. 30, to Bobulinski, offering him well wishes and support – while saying he isn't commenting specifically on his claims. A spokeswoman for Khanna confirmed the email to Bobulinski from the congressman is authentic.

 

“Tony, hope you are doing okay. I did give an on the record statement to The NY Times that I know you, you have always acted honorably with me, and you and other family members supported me,” Khanna wrote. “I have told any media outlets that have asked the same thing.”

 

Khanna wrote that he has “refused to comment on the details of your allegations because I don’t have personal knowledge about that, but have said I respect your service to our country and that you have never been a ‘partisan hack’ in our interactions and have talked about putting country over party.”

 

“I also have made it clear that I do not think you are a Russian agent,” Khanna wrote. “I will continue to make that statement to any media that asks.”

Michigan Democratic Rep. Dingell: 'So many' auto workers are choosing Trump over Biden==

 

Dingell also speculated that Trump will visit the state multiple times before Election Day.

 

Michigan Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell warned this week that a significant numbers of auto workers are again turning away from their traditional support of the Democratic Party and voting for President Trump.

 

Dingell, who represents Michigan's 12th congressional district, told CNN host Alisyn Camerota on Thursday morning that discussions with voters indicated that the critical auto union vote may swing notably for Trump this year, as it did in 2016 when reportedly as much as 30% of such workers voted for the then-GOP presidential nominee.

 

"So many auto workers who I thought were going to go back to Joe Biden … were very clear with me last night they were voting for President Trump," she said, while also urging grassroots campaign workers to "turn out their votes."

 

"President Trump is coming back [to Michigan] on Friday," she continued. "My grapevine tells me he'll probably be back again before Election Day."

 

Michigan was one of the states Trump won by a razor-thin margin in 2016, beating Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton by 0.23%, or about 10,600 votes.

Hundreds protest at Temple Mount against Macron, Muhammad cartoons; 3 arrested

 

Police say suspects held for disorderly conduct; French president’s vow to protect the right to caricature the Prophet Muhammad continues to roil the Muslim world

 

Hundreds of people protested at Jerusalem’s Temple Mount on Friday against French President Emmanuel Macron’s vow to protect the right to caricature the Prophet Muhammad, with three arrested after scuffles with police.

 

The protestors chanted, “with our souls and with our blood we sacrifice for our prophet, Muhammad,” and what Israel Police described as “nationalist slogans.”

 

Protesters also called Macron “the enemy of God.”

 

Police said they dispersed the “rioters” and arrested three people for disorderly conduct.

 

Hundreds of Palestinians also reportedly participated in a march condemning Macron’s remarks in Jerusalem’s Kafr Aqab neighborhood and in the neighboring Qalandiya refugee camp.

 

Demonstrators wore headbands declaring insulting Muhammad to be a red line and waved flags emblazoned with the Islamic declaration of faith.

Election Violence Fears Rise: California Prepares For Civil Unrest; Walmart Pulls Guns From Stores

 

California State, Walmart, and Facebook are bracing for potential civil unrest on Election Day

The retail giant pulled out all guns and ammunition for the floors of its stores

The move comes as multiple voters reportedly experienced voter suppression tactics

 

California Governor Gavin Newson said Thursday that they are preparing for possible civil unrest on Election Day amid the rising tensions due to the coronavirus pandemic, voter suppression, and an emotional presidential race.

 

The governor did not elaborate on what actions they may take to brace for potential protests following the release of election results. However, he said the state is prepared to address different scenarios that may occur, Politico reported.

 

"As it relates to making sure people are safe, making sure not only the process of voting is a safe and healthy one, but keeping people safe after the election for whatever may occur, the answer is yes, we are always gaming out different scenarios and making sure that we are prepared," Newsom said.

 

The governor's statement comes as Walmart began removing guns and ammunition from the floor of its stores. The major retailer cited civil unrest incidents due to the racial tension across the country as the reason for the move.

 

Walmart took similar action in June after "Black Lives Matter" demonstrations turned violent in some cities, with many looting retail giants. While guns and ammunition would not be available on sales floors, they could still be purchased at the stores, Buzzfeed News reported.

 

"We have seen some isolated civil unrest, and as we have done on several occasions over the last few years, we have moved our firearms and ammunition off the sales floor as a precaution for the safety of our associates and customers," the statement read.

 

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg also cited steps the social media platform has taken in response to the possibility of civil unrest. During a call discussing the company's earnings, he said they had implemented precautions, such as blocking ads that delegitimize the election results, providing Facebook users with information about the election, and banning content focused on the QAnon conspiracy theory, CNBC reported.

 

"This is not a shift in our underlying philosophy or strong support of free expression. Instead, it is a reflection of the increased risk of violence and unrest," Zuckerburg said.

 

The move comes after many voters, especially people of color, have reportedly experienced a wide range of tactics to suppress their votes.

 

On Oct. 21, voters in St. Petersburg, Florida, said two armed guards — a man and a woman — stood outside an early voting site. Local media reports claimed the Trump campaign hired them, but a spokesperson for the president denied any connections with the armed guards.

Jake Tapper suggests NYPost should delete original tweets with Hunter Biden exposé

 

CNN anchor Jake Tapper tried playing peacemaker between The New York Post and Twitter on Friday when he suggested possible options both sides could take to swiftly end their ongoing feud.

 

Earlier in October, The Post published in an exposé emails belonging to former Vice President Joe Biden‘s son, Hunter, that were obtained via a hard drive from a laptop that had been given to a Delaware repair shop. The emails alleged that Hunter, while on the board of the corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma, had leveraged his father’s position as vice president in his foreign business dealings. Since the emails were originally published, they have since been connected to the younger Biden.

 

Twitter suppressed the ability for users to spread the exposé on its platform because the publishing of these emails, in its eyes, violated it policy on sharing “hacked materials.” Additionally, it locked The Post out of its account. After fierce backlash from across the platform, Twitter eventually updated its policies. The Post‘s account remains locked.

 

Tapper, seeing that this situation is still unresolved, tweeted in a five-part thread that if The Post were to delete the then-rule-breaking tweets and then just “tweet them out again” while also saying that Twitter could just as easily unlock its account since the tweets no longer violate the rules.

 

Assuming either side heeds Tapper’s advice, perhaps he should consider moonlighting as a diplomat.

 

Check out Tapper’s full thread:

 

Since twitter has locked out the NYPost for violating rules that no longer stand as rules (but twitter won't revisit past enforcement decisions) the NY Post COULD end this standoff by deleting the tweets that broke the rules (thus unlocking its account) then tweet them out again

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) October 30, 2020

 

3/ And yes twitter could end this immediately as well given that these rules are no longer rules. I’m just suggesting a possible way to end this. ✌️ pic.twitter.com/1ZfV8E45dS

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) October 30, 2020

 

5/ I also don't think twitter should have blocked them to begin with. But this would be a way for NYPost to have cake and eat it too — and get its twitter feed back. Just an idea. Don't like it? That's fine too.

Over 10,000 Robinhood Account Credentials Are Being Sold On The Dark Web, Bloomberg Discovers

 

Robinhood's account security issues look like they have just gone from "bad" to "worse".

 

When reports about Robinhood hacks started making their rounds earlier this month, the company said it only affected a "limited number" of accounts. Now, it looks as though that may be far from the truth.

 

Upon investigation by Bloomberg, it was discovered that a marketplace on the dark web is selling alleged access to over 10,000 email login credentials for Robinhood accounts. The number of Robinhood e-mail accounts available for purchase outnumber other brokerages by a factor of "5 to 1", according to the report.

 

Eli Dominitz, chief executive officer of Q6 Cyber, an e-crime intelligence firm explained to Bloomberg why he thought Robinhood emails were so much more prominent: “If they feel that Robinhood gives them greater upside than trying to steal money from Bank of America, that’s what they’re going to do.”

 

In other words, hackers likely think that Robinhood's response is going to be lackluster.

 

Robinhood offered up the following excuse: “It is not uncommon for cyber-criminals to target customers of financial-services companies by attempting to use information sourced from the dark web.”

 

"This is a very common occurrence in corporations as large as ours. You have nothing to worry about."​​​​

 

Robinhood also said there were "no signs" that its systems had been breached. But, again, this appeared to be the same boilerplate response we saw earlier this month after many accounts were confirmed to have been breached.

 

 

While dark web data being sold isn't always accurate, it often is, Dominitz noted. One of the latest offers made on the marketplace for the tranche of 10,000 emails was for just $3.50 per email.

 

One Robinhood user, Ryan Bordner, hired an identity theft protection service after being hacked in mid-August. They told him that his information was "among those whose email credentials were sold on the dark web."

 

Recall, in mid-October we pointed out that 2,000 Robinhood accounts had been hacked, with some having funds siphoned off to external accounts.

 

Days prior to that report, we published a story about Robinhood users who had seen their accounts looted and were at their wits' end with the company's customer service. Many affected claimed they were unable to contact anyone at the company after logging into their accounts and seeing their funds withdrawn. Robinhood claimed it was only “a limited number” of accounts that had been affected.

Mountain Of Evidence Confirms Common Pesticide Hazardous To Children’s Health

 

Chlorpyrifos insecticides were introduced by Dow Chemical in 1965 and have been used widely in agricultural settings. Commonly known as the active ingredient in the brand names Dursban and Lorsban, chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide, acaricide and miticide used primarily to control foliage and soil-borne insect pests on a variety of food and feed crops. Products come in liquid form as well as granules, powders and water-soluble packets, and may be applied by either ground or aerial equipment.

 

Chlorpyrifos is used on a wide variety of crops including apples, oranges, strawberries, corn, wheat, citrus and other foods families and their children eat daily. USDA’s Pesticide Data Program found chlorpyrifos residue on citrus and melons even after being washed and peeled. By volume, chlorpyrifos is most used on corn and soybeans, with over a million pounds applied annually to each crop. The chemical is not allowed on organic crops.

 

Non-agricultural uses include golf courses, turf, green houses and utilities.

Human health concerns

 

The American Academy of Pediatrics, which represents more than 66,000 pediatricians and pediatric surgeons, has warned that continued use of chlorpyrifos puts developing fetuses, infants, children and pregnant women at great risk.

 

Scientists have found that prenatal exposures to chlorpyrifos are associated with lower birth weight, reduced IQ, the loss of working memory, attention disorders and delayed motor development. Key studies are listed below.

 

Chlorpyrifos is also linked to acute pesticide poisoning and can cause convulsions, respiratory paralysis and sometimes, death.

FDA says food and drinking water exposures unsafe

 

Chlorpyrifos is so toxic that the European Food Safety Authority banned sales of the chemical as of January 2020, finding that there is no safe exposure level. Some U.S. states have also banned chlorpyrifos from farming use, including California and Hawaii.

 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reached agreement with Dow Chemical in 2000 to phase out all residential uses of chlorpyrifos because of scientific research showing the chemical is dangerous to the developing brains of babies and young children. It was banned from use around schools in 2012.

 

In October 2015, the EPA said it planned to revoke all food residue tolerances for chlorpyrifos, meaning it would no longer be legal to use it in agriculture. The agency said “expected residues of chlorpyrifos on food crops exceed the safety standard under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.” The move came in response to a petition for a ban from the Natural Resources Defense Council and Pesticide Action Network.

 

In November 2016, the EPA released a revised human health risk assessment for chlorpyrifos confirming it was unsafe to allow the chemical to continue in use in agriculture. Among other things, the EPA said all food and drinking water exposures were unsafe, especially to children 1-2 years old. The EPA said the ban would take place in 2017.

Oil Firm Whistleblower Faces Puzzling Extradition to Monaco

 

A British national who blew the whistle on the Dutch Oil firm SBM Offshore eight years ago faces “imminent extradition” to Monaco in what his lawyers call retaliation for exposing a massive bribery and corruption scandal that led to hundreds of millions in fines.

 

The whistleblower, Jonathan Taylor, was detained when he arrived at a Croatian airport on a vacation with his family in response to an Interpol Red Notice issued by Monaco authorities, his lawyers said in a press release updated on Thursday.

 

His lawyer, Toby Cadman of Guernica 37 International Justice Chambers, called on the international community to block the extradition, which he called a “clear act of retaliation.”

 

According to the BBC, it is unclear why Monaco is seeking Taylor’s extradition now. The news outlet was told by the country’s police department that it could not comment on the matter.

 

Taylor, who worked for SBM Offshore Monaco for nine years, provided evidence of bribery and corruption at the firm in 2012. The company is alleged to have paid out millions in bribes to public officials in exchange for lucrative contracts.

 

This helped lead to the collection of over US$800 million in fines from various governments including the U.S. and the Netherlands, along with the imprisonment of three individuals who were directly involved.

 

The Guernica 37 press release added that if Taylor is extradited and faces trial in Monaco, it “could send a chilling message to whistle-blowers and investigative journalists the world over. ”

 

The anti-corruption organization Transparency International reiterated this concern on Twitter, writing that “this kind of intimidation deters others from reportingcorruption,” and shows why we need strong laws to protect whistleblowers.

 

Taylor’s counsel also called on the UK government to intervene, arguing that “it must do so in cases where there is a risk of abuse of process and “a flagrant denial of justice.”

 

“When there is a risk of an abuse of process, there is an obligation to intervene to protect brave revealers of corruption,” the Platform to Protect Whistleblowers in Africa (PPLAAF) wrote regarding the news on its Twitter account.

 

Taylor’s wife, meanwhile, just wants him home. "We are very proud of him. But our lives are in tatters - the children all worry and can't understand why this is happening to us when he's done the right thing," she told the BBC.

DoD canceled its diversity training audit to comply with new White House rules

 

The Defense Department’s inspector general has canceled an audit of its diversity, inclusion and equal opportunity training just a month after first announcing it.

 

As part of a series of initiatives born of his desire to get a handle on how prejudice and discrimination affect service members at work, the IG set out to evaluate whether these programs are effective. But a White House memorandum issued last month, banning any diversity training that discusses white people’s role in systemic racism, has forced DoD first get its existing training in compliance.

 

“[The] Uniformed Services should not teach our heroic men and women in uniform the lie that the country for which they are willing to die is fundamentally racist,” President Trump wrote in a Sept. 22 executive order. “Such teachings could directly threaten the cohesion and effectiveness of our Uniformed Services.”

 

More broadly, the memo targeted any federal training that references critical race theory, the idea that in order to achieve an egalitarian society, the society must acknowledge inequities and hold accountable those responsible for perpetuating them.

 

“This ideology is rooted in the pernicious and false belief that America is an irredeemably racist and sexist country; that some people, simply on account of their race or sex, are oppressors; and that racial and sexual identities are more important than our common status as human beings and Americans,” Trump wrote.

 

DoD instead plans to launch a new project, according to a Tuesday announcement, that focuses on implementing the White House memo.

 

“The objective was to determine whether the Military Departments provide military personnel with diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity training that aligns with the DoD’s diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity goals, and to determine whether the training is effectively implemented across the Military Departments in accordance with Federal and DoD policies,” Theresa Hull, an assistant inspector general, wrote in the Sept. 24 memo first announcing the project.

 

Her Tuesday follow-up memo does not explain why the first project must be canceled in favor of the second, only that the new focus is on the White House’s guidance.

 

A DoD IG spokeswoman declined to make a statement about the change.

Lady Gaga: Vote ‘If You Want the Country to Be Different Than It Is’

 

Pop star Lady Gaga, donning a collection of her most outrageous outfits, urged Americans that they must get involved in the election, go out, and vote if they “want the country to be different than it is.”

 

“So. The election. This coming Tuesday. We’re almost there. We need to talk,” the singer, who backed and campaigned for Hillary Clinton in 2016, said in three-minute video message to those who have yet to cast their vote in the presidential election. “I believe no matter how you feel right now about the election, you are still accountable,” the “Stupid Love” singer said.

 

“Maybe you’re sick of all the fighting or you’re frustrated by COVID and don’t want to deal with it. Or maybe you dislike all the candidates. Or maybe you feel so discouraged by the state of our nation that you’ve decided you don’t believe in voting because you feel it’s better not to be a part of the system — the system you don’t like.”

 

“If you want to change this system, if you want this country to be different than it is right now, you have got to participate in this election,” she pleaded, wearing a collection of her most recognizable outfits, including a piece paying homage to her infamous 2010 meat dress. “When they announce who has won the election, it will be very clear what this country has become.”

 

“The government is not going away tomorrow, and unless you have a plane ticket to another country this is going to be your home,” she continued. “I’m telling you that no matter how you feel, your future is still in your hands with this vote.What you choose to do will affect you,” Gaga told her 82 million Twitter followers, encouraging them to — in the very least — vote in honor of others.

 

“Let’s be real. You know who I voted for,” the singer, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, said. “But believe me and listen to me now. Even if you disagree with me, your vote still matters to the world.”

 

The A Star Is Born actress emphasized that she has “never been shy to make my voice heard.”

 

“I’ve said a lot of things in a lot of different ways, wearing a lot of different outfits, makeup, hats, dresses made our of meat,” she continued, adding, “I may have seemed to shift and change, but one thing that has never changed is my voice and what I believe.”

 

The “Shallow” singer, who alleged that there is deep-rooted racism in America, said in a September interview with Billboard that those who are born in America “all drink the poison that is white supremacy.”

 

“I am in the process of learning and unlearning things I’ve been taught my whole life,” she said.

Fraudster and crook Clive Palmer and his perjuring wife Anna ramp up the lies for the Queensland election

 

Billionaire fraudster and thief Clive Palmer is again telling lie after lie in the Queensland election and this time with the help of his wife Anna who is running in the electorate of Currumbin, which also happens to be my electorate, and his held by Laura Gerber who is an LNP member.

 

Clive Palmer is currently facing criminal charges for funnelling money out of his companies to help run his federal election campaign in 2013. (Click here to read more) Given the situation, you would think that Clive Palmer would keep a low profile instead of openly and blatantly committing election fraud by lying to voters as nothing more than a spoiler campaign against the Labor Party to gain favours with the Liberal National Party.

 

Once again Clive Palmer is using company money to fund the Queensland election with The Guardian reporting:

 

Clive Palmer’s mining company has tipped more than $4.5m into his spoiler political party with more than 50 donations to his Queensland election candidates disclosed in the past week.

 

Queensland voters are being subjected to a barrage of anti-Labor adverts from Palmer’s United Australia party on television, in newspapers and on social media, and in the form of text messages from his mining company Mineralogy.

 

Since late August, Mineralogy has pumped $4.6m into Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party and its candidates.

 

The bulk of the donations from Mineralogy are in the form of cash transfers, with smaller amounts declared as in-kind wages from company staff helping the party. (Click here to read more)

 

If Clive Palmer is using his business’s money to run the political campaign, he obviously wants a business/political return on investment.

 

Clive’s wife Anna, who is also a qualified lawyer, is in the ad below telling blatant lies about the Labor Party, who are in power in Queensland, bringing in a death tax and death duties.

Federal Government to ramp up its vaccine diplomacy in the Pacific, South-East Asia

 

The Federal Government is dramatically ramping up its vaccine diplomacy in the region, pledging another $500 million to help eradicate COVID-19 across South-East Asia and the Pacific.

Key points:

 

The Australian Government already committed $300 million in the Budget to provide economic aid to the Pacific

It says the additional funds will go towards fulfilling the aim of "full immunisation coverage" in Australia's region

Vaccines have become a theatre of diplomatic competition, with Australia and China vying for influence in the Asia Pacific

 

The initiative comes on top of a $300 million Budget commitment to assist Pacific countries struggling with the economic impact of the pandemic.

 

The Government wants to use the new money to distribute millions of COVID-19 vaccine doses to countries across the region, as well as providing technical support to ensure those doses are safely administered.

Lessons from the last big vaccine race

The flags of the Us, China, the EU and Australia tiled behind a hand holding a syringe.

 

Billions are being poured into the race to find a coronavirus vaccine, with the winner owning a powerful political tool. During the last pandemic an Australian company got there first.

In a joint statement Foreign Minister Marise Payne, Health Minister Greg Hunt and Minister for International Development Alex Hawke said the initiative would help ensure the Pacific achieved "full immunisation coverage" as well as making a "significant contribution" to immunisation efforts in South-East Asia.

 

"Ensuring countries in our region can quickly recover from the health and economic impacts of this devastating global pandemic is vital to ensuring our shared economic future in the post-pandemic world," they said.

 

"A fast, safe vaccine rollout in the Pacific and South-East Asia will mean we are able to return to more normal travel, tourism and trade with our key partners in the region."

Win or Lose, Dems Have Big Plans for America

 

Only a victory large enough to preclude the theft of the presidency by the Democrats and their minions in the media can forestall their plans for America’s future.

 

The rioting, physical violence, and destruction of property estimated in the billions of dollars experienced by Americans since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis on Memorial Day was merely practice for the left’s coming exercise of power whether Biden wins or loses.

 

“It cannot happen here” has been the mantra of those blessed by God with the grace of living in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Yet, aphoristically, “past is prologue” and history is replete with the ruins of civilizations whose citizens believed the same.

 

Democrats thought their long march through the institutions had succeeded in giving them permanent power. They were convinced when Barack Obama pulled off the unique trick of descending from the heavens to ascend to the presidency.

 

Academia had long become a social justice warrior training ground with the supremacy of critical theory, implicit bias training, and a cadre of professors better than 90% steeped in leftist dogma having provided an army of reliable Democrats.

 

During the Obama Presidency, media, always biased and comprised of reporters and editorialists politically mirroring that of academia dispensed with even the pretense of “objectivity” to become nothing more than the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. Truth had become a matter of opinion with talking heads providing the opinions.

 

Intelligence bureaus, the administrative state, top military leadership, and every regulatory agency was purged of anyone not steadfastly liberal.

 

The left deluded themselves into believing that cradle-to-career indoctrination, deliberate media misinformation, and politically forced demographic change had finally created a permanent Democratic majority. They were “bigly” surprised when they lost more than 1.000 federal, state, and local elections. Donald Trump was the straw that broke the spavined camel’s back.

 

They refused to accept the condign defeat of all they worked so hard to trick or treat Americans into believing. What followed was four years of one confected attempt after another to execute a slow-motion, multipronged coup concluding with a failed impeachment on grounds so slim, had it been tried on a President Biden, it would have elicited a collective “C’mon man” from the variegated components of not only the leftist machine but the American population as well.

 

Fair-minded Americans are not only cognizant of the rules, but willing to obey them. Not so afflicted, the left follow rules only when winning – when they lose, the rules must change.

NYC mayorde Blasio Ready to lock the city down if infection rate gets to 2%, and its at 1.92%

 

Mayor de Blasio warned Thursday that the city has seen a “meaningful jump” in the COVID infection rate, saying there could be a return to “huge restrictions” if the situation is not brought under control.

 

He pointed to a key metric for gauging the outbreak, the seven-day average rate at which New Yorkers are testing positive. The latest figure came to 1.92%, and Hizzoner previously said if the number reaches 2%, the city will consider ending indoor dining at restaurants, though the decision is ultimately left to the state government.

 

“This is the first time the number has taken a meaningful jump, to 1.92%,” de Blasio said at a press conference. “That alone is not a number that would overwhelm us, but the growth is what worries me and we cannot allow that number to keep growing.”

El Paso police refuse to enforce county judge’s order limiting business due to virus outbreak

 

EL PASO, Texas – A police spokesman said Friday that the El Paso Police Department would not be enforcing an order issued by County Judge Ricardo Samaniego restricting business operations to essential services only.

 

Samaniego said he issued Thursday evening's order in the hopes of containing the spread of Covid-19 throughout El Paso, which has seen record numbers of infections and overloaded hospitals in recent days.

 

Sgt. Enrique Carillo cited an advisory opinion issued by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton that contends the judge's order is "unenforceable" because it conflicts with prior directives from the governor.

 

The AG's opinion - issued hours after Samaniego imposed his order Thursday evening - was done at the request of Mayor Dee Margo, who is publicly feuding with the judge over the added restrictions.

 

Paxton's opinion advised that the judge should "rescind or revise his order" or face a potential lawsuit from the state. Samaniego said county attorneys helped him draft the order and contended he is on solid legal ground.

 

Citing the attorney general's views, Carillo said, "As such, the El Paso Police Department will not be enforcing the El Paso County Judge's order."

The evidence is clear: Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey must be arrested and charged with racketeering and treason

 

After years of dismissing Big Tech’s censorship of the independent press, Congress is finally taking it seriously now that Big Tech is censoring mainstream doctors and mainstream news agencies. Google, Twitter and Facebook have become so extreme with their politically-motivated censorship, the platforms now coordinate their attacks, targeting scientific and conservative topics in real time and eliminating them from social media discussion and distribution. This censorship suppresses public involvement in democracy and distorts the free flow of information. Their censorship has not only become outright election interference, but their suppression of information now aids and abets criminal acts committed exclusively by Democrats. When the platforms censored a bombshell New York Post report on Biden family corruption, Big Tech’s actions became criminal in nature.

 

Now Senate Republicans are issuing subpoenas to the CEOs of Silicon Valley, including Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. Congressional Democrats cheer on the censorship as “eliminating misinformation” while Congressional Republicans see the censorship for what it is.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey caught red-handed, must be indicted for racketeering and treason

 

When questioned by Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey doubled down and said that the New York Post’s account will remain locked until the newspaper deletes their original tweet about Hunter Biden’s business dealings overseas. The censored report details how Hunter Biden arranged a meeting between him, his father and a Ukrainian gas executive in Washington.

 

A whistleblower who worked with the Biden’s for years came forward and attested that Joe Biden, the former vice president, was deeply involved in his son’s oversea affairs. He confirmed that the “Big guy” in the Hunter Biden emails is Joe Biden. Joe enjoyed kickbacks from his son’s foreign business deals, which included deals with Chinese firms that sought to influence American government. A Senate investigation of this whistleblower has confirmed all of the whistle blower’s allegations. Twitter’s suppression of the press and the subsequent investigation is therefore election interference and a criminal act.

Yes, Media Are Rigging The Election Against Half The Country. Here’s How

 

Will all this be enough for mass media to win the day? People will find out next week.

 

Even if Donald Trump had lost the 2016 election, instead of won it in a surprise, the media’s coverage of his campaign and supporters would have been a horrific failure. They presented that race as unwinnable for Trump and as if his support was inexplicable.

 

Their response to their 2016 failures has been not to improve their journalism in any way, shape, or form, but to decide that they didn’t do enough to bias that election in their preferred direction. Their nearly four-year temper tantrum has resulted in far worse 2020 campaign coverage than even the depths of their 2016 coverage. It’s as if they looked to the Candy Crowley debate in 2012, when she went out of her way to back Barack Obama when he said something false, and viewed it as a model, not an embarrassment.

 

Once again, regardless of the outcome next week, Big Media is actively at war with half of the American people and are desperately working to rig an election against them. Here are just five ways they’re doing that.

  1. Refusing to Do Journalism on Joe Biden

 

On October 14, the New York Post published a story about how Hunter Biden had introduced his father to a top Ukrainian businessman. This contradicted Joe Biden’s oft-repeated claim to have had no knowledge whatsoever about his son’s overseas business affairs.

 

Hunter Biden was paid handsomely by Burisma, a Ukrainian energy concern, while his father was vice president. Hunter had no business acumen or relevant experience in the energy sector, but was paid millions of dollars by Burisma at the time his father was in charge of U.S. policy toward Ukraine.

 

The story was sourced to a laptop computer allegedly left by Hunter at a Wilmington computer repair store. Big Tech moved immediately to squash the blockbuster story on both Twitter and Facebook. Twitter has banned the New York Post from tweeting and Facebook publicly announced they were suppressing the story, pending journalistic fact checks.

 

It’s been more than two weeks since Facebook announced it was suppressing the story pending fact checks. It has not shared who it tasked with the fact checks, and the only journalistic checks on the information have confirmed the story. One of the recipients of an email found on the laptop confirmed it was real, on the record. Government officials said it was not Russian disinformation. No information has come to light to suggest it was Russian disinformation. And last night, the key email in question was verified as legitimate by a cyber expert who was given access to the metadata for the email.

Epstein sleaze empire fallout continues as head of International Peace Institute resigns over dealings with pedophile

 

The head of the International Peace Institute (IPI), Terje Rød-Larsen, has resigned in disgrace after admitting he accepted donations and a personal loan from the disgraced financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

 

The think tank chief says accepting the donations from foundations related to Jeffrey Epstein was “poor judgement” on his part as was a personal loan from the millionaire financier-cum-human trafficker in 2013.

 

“Epstein’s crimes were horrific. The notion that IPI would in some way be associated with such an ugly type is contrary to the institution’s core values,” the New York-based lobby group said in a statement, following an extraordinary board meeting on Thursday.

 

Chairman of the board Kevin Rudd was damning in his criticism of Rød-Larsen’s actions.

 

“Neither the loan nor the repayment of it had previously been disclosed to the board or to me as chairman,” Rudd, a former Prime Minister of Australia, said to the Norwegian newspaper Dagens Næringsliv.

 

“Rød-Larsen has apologised to the board for what he has described as a serious misjudgment. I am deeply disappointed that the board has had to find out so much of this through the media,” Rudd added.

 

In November 2019, the IPI announced it would match any donations received from Epstein-affiliated foundations and re-donate the funds to “programs that support victims of human trafficking and sexual assault,” to the tune of a reported $30 million.

Emmanuel Macron is selling out French sovereignty to the EU with a second total lockdown

 

President Macron’s decision to return France to lockdown could have serious repercussions, particularly if he has to borrow heavily from the European Union to compensate struggling businesses.

 

It’s common for French hospitals to be overwhelmed by seasonal viruses. French newspaper headlines dating back to January 2017 and January 2018 refer to hospitals being overwhelmed by the simple flu. The government has never bombarded those of us who live in France with daily infection rates, then sent healthy citizens into house arrest for months – until now. It’s worth asking why.

 

At the beginning of September, two high-ranking sources – one retired from the French Interior Ministry, the other a retired general – said that France would be sent back into total lockdown by the beginning of November. Their assertion was hard to believe, given that, at that point, everything had nearly returned to normal in the wake of the two-month total lockdown from March to May, which relegated the entire country’s population to their homes for 23 hours per day under the pretext of Covid-19. One even proposed a date for the next lockdown: October 29.
