Fox News: Wife of Network;s Heir Calls Trump a Dictator, Wrote 'We Did It' After Media Declared Biden Winner

 

As quesaton remain about the partisan calling of Arizona on Election night there is a mass exodus from FOX News Channel as the news site takes a radical turn to the Left.

 

If you think that FoX News has taken a kneejerk turn to the ideological Left you are not alone. In the aftermath of FoX’s Decision Desk to call Arizona for Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden with only one percent of the vote counted, FoX walked the fine line of attempting to influence the election. Now we know, at least partly, why this has come to pass. Kathryn Murdoch, the wife of heir to the FoX News apparatus James Murdock, is a dedicated Progressive activist and one who holds obvious sway over her husband. Just before the election, as she was advocating for the Biden campaign on social media, she tweeted, “What will you tell your children or your future self about the part you played in history?” alluding to the notion of being on the wrong side of history if one was a Trump supporter. Kathryn eliminated all doubt that she felt herself personally invested in a Trump defeat Saturday when she tweeted, “We did it!!!!”

 

Questions remain as to the validity of her husband James’ resignation from the board of FoX News’ parent News Corp in July, citing disagreements with the news outlet’s editorial content. Many close to the situation believe that Kathryn’s influence over him moved James to resign. In subsequent tweets Saturday, Kathryn Murdoch referenced “Trump’s authoritarian antics” and “Surviving the gravest threat to our system of government since the Civil War,” the ideological beliefs shared by those who support Antifa and Black Lives Matter, as well as the Marxist-Progressives of “The Squad,” led by US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). Kathryn, 47, also full-throatily supported the notion floated by former journalist and now anchorman for CNN, Jake Tapper, that there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. On Friday, Tapper said, “The Murdochs and the people at FOX have an obligation to put their country above their profits. It is very important that people make it very clear – that there is no credible evidence of widespread fraud.” Evidence of massive voter fraud has been gathered by President Trump’s legal team and lawsuits have been files in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Michigan with more to be filed on November 9, 10, and 11.

Roberts, Kavanaugh signal willingness to preserve ACA in Supreme Court case

 

Nov. 10 (UPI) Two Supreme Court justices signaled a willingness to preserve the Affordable Care Act on Tuesday during arguments in a landmark case challenging its constitutionality. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh each suggested they were inclined to favor "severing" the so-called individual mandate from the rest of the ACA, which has provided affordable medical coverage to tens of millions of Americans over the past decade. In the case, California vs. Texas, the high court is seeking to determine whether eliminating the mandate the part of the law that required all uninsured Americans to buy health insurance through ACA exchanges or pay an income tax penalty – renders the entire healthcare law, known colloquially as Obamacare, unconstitutional.

 

Kavanaugh, considered a swing vote on the issue, suggested the ACA could still pass constitutional muster without the mandate. In an exchange with an attorney defending the law on behalf of the House of Representatives, Kavanaugh said, "I tend to agree with you this a very straightforward case for severability under our precedents, meaning that we would excise the mandate and leave the rest of the act in place." Roberts later said he disagreed with a coalition of 18 Republican-led states headed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who argue the ACA was rendered unconstitutional by President Donald Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which removed the penalty and declared it illegal. "It's hard for you to argue Congress intended the entire act to fall if the mandate was struck down if the same Congress that lowered the tax penalty to zero did not even try to repeal the rest of the act," he told an attorney representing Paxton.

 

Some experts and observers consider the matter the most important case the Supreme Court will decide this term, which began last month and ends at the end of June. Striking down the ACA would cost as many as 20 million Americans their medical coverage and bring a tax cut to the wealthy. Trump has been trying to repeal the ACA since he stepped into office while President-elect Joe Biden, who helped craft the 2010 law, said during his campaign that he would enhance and expand it. Biden plans to deliver a speech on Tuesday reiterating support for the law. The part of the ACA that required uninsured people to buy coverage has helped the law stand up to legal scrutiny in the past. The Supreme Court upheld the law's constitutionality in a 2012 ruling, in which Roberts said the mandate was within Congress' taxing authority. However, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year upheld a lower court ruling that said the individual mandate was unconstitutional as "it can no longer be read as a tax and there is no other constitutional provision that justifies this exercise of congressional power." The Democratic-led House of Representatives and a group of 20 Democratic states have asked the Supreme Court to overturn the lower court decisions, arguing that the Trump administration's stripping of the individual mandate had another impact on the case it made the tax issue entirely moot. "[The law] may encourage Americans to buy insurance, but it does not require anyone to do anything," they wrote in their brief. "Individuals still have a choice: Buy insurance or don't." In addition to deciding if the individual mandate is unconstitutional, the court will also have to decide whether the provision invalidates the law as a whole. Republicans and the Texas-led coalition say it does.

 

They argue that Congress intended for the ACA to work as an integrated whole. The Democrat-led group, however, counters that Congress consciously decided to leave the rest of the landmark law intact three years ago when it agreed to remove the individual mandate. In previous Supreme Court rulings on the ACA, Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito Jr. said the law could not be separated or salvaged from the unconstitutional portions. Roberts and Kavanaugh, Trump's second high court appointee, noted that the court must closely examine whether the remainder of the law can be severed from the unconstitutional part and remain in place. "Constitutional litigation is not a game of gotcha against Congress, where litigants can ride a discrete constitutional flaw in a statute to take down the whole, otherwise constitutional statute," Kavanaugh wrote.

Vatican: Pope John Paul II knew of sex abuse claims against cardinal

 

Nov. 10 (UPI) – Defrocked Cardinal and Archbishop Theodore McCarrick says Pope John Paul II elevated him in the Catholic Church nearly 20 years ago even though he knew about accusations of sexual misconduct, a Vatican report said Tuesday. The 461-page report said the former pope elevated McCarrick to cardinal in 2001 despite knowledge of the numerous accusations. The accusations say McCarrick had sexual contact with at least one priest and multiple children. They also say he shared his bed with young adult men and, later, adult seminarians at a beach house in New Jersey. McCarrick, 90, who served for years in the 2000s as the church's Archbishop in Washington, D.C., denied the accusations to Pope John Paul II around the turn of the century. He retired as archbishop in 2006 but remained as a cardinal until 2018. "At the time of McCarrick's appointment, and in part because of the limited nature of the [Vatican's] own prior investigations, [we] had never received a complaint directly from a victim, whether adult or minor, about McCarrick's misconduct," the report states. "For this reason, McCarrick's supporters could plausibly characterize the allegations against him as 'gossip' or 'rumors.'"

 

McCarrick continued denying the claims when they continued into the period of church leadership by Pope Benedict XVI in 2005, according to the assessment, and Pope Francis didn't receive any documents about accusations involving McCarrick until 2017. In July, McCarrick and other clerics were sued by a man who accused them of sexual abuse and said they were part of a "sex ring" that operated out of a New Jersey beach house in the early 1980s. The suit said McCarrick and five other officials used the beach house to abuse young boys in 1982 and 1983. Two months earlier, a series of leaked emails indicated that McCarrick had been disciplined by the church over past accusations of misconduct but he still allowed to travel and work under Pope Benedict and Pope Francis. Former Vatican diplomat Carlo Maria Vigano said Francis was aware of restrictions placed on McCarrick after he was accused of sleeping with seminarians. In 2019, McCarrick was found guilty by the Vatican of sexually abusing minors and dismissed from the clergy. At the time, he became the highest-ranking Catholic official in the United States to be expelled during over long-running accusations of sex abuse within the church.
