Myanmar Military Promise to Return Power After Free and Fair Election

 

Earlier in the day, reports suggested that the leader of Myanmar, as well as the country's president and other senior officials from the incumbent administration, had been detained after days of a looming threat of a coup stemming from a disagreement by the Myanmar military with the results of the general election.

 

Sean Turnell, an Australian academic who serves as an adviser to Aung San Suu Kyi, confirmed to the Financial Times the reports of the arrests and said that internet and mobile services in the capital were down.

 

"All the people in Naypyidaw have been cut off, so it looks like the reports about Aung San Suu Kyi and the president being detained appear to be true," Sean Turnell told the Financial Times from Yangon. "There has been no statement from the military yet."

 

According to NetBlocks, a non-governmental organisation that tracks internet shutdowns, there were serious disruptions in internet service in the early hours of Monday in Myanmar.

 

In January, Myanmar's military raised the prospect of a coup d'etat after what they believed was widespread voter fraud during the November 8 election, which was the country’s second general election since the end of military rule in 2011.

Hollywood Heavyweights, Including Jason Bateman, Jennifer Aniston, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Among Top Donors to Lincoln Project

 

Several left-wing Hollywood heavyweights, including A-list actors Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston, and Dreamworks co-founder and Quibi CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, are among the top donors of the embattled Lincoln Project, the anti-Trump super PAC whose co-founder faces accusations of sending provocative messages to young men.

 

The organization, founded by anti-Trump Republicans, drew support from Democrats throughout the presidential election, with the shared objective of booting former President Trump out of office. Several celebrities contributed thousands to the organization, which now appears to be pleading ignorance following one of its co-founders, John Weaver, facing accusations from 21 men who say Weaver sent them sexually explicit messages, and even allegedly offered advice to some in exchange for sensual favors. One of the accusers claimed that Weaver sent him such messages when he was 14 years old.

 

An October report from the Hollywood Reporter detailed some of the celebrity bigwigs who contributed to The Lincoln Project. Those include Aniston, actor and FOX’s The Mask Singer and I Can See Your Voice host Ken Jeong, Ozark star Jason Bateman, and Transamerica actress Felicity Huffman, all of whom have donated thousands to the PAC:

 

But even among The Lincoln Project’s more rank-and-file donors, notable names from the world of Hollywood are present. Jennifer Aniston donated $5,000, Felicity Huffman donated $9,300, Ken Jeong donated $3,000 and Jason Bateman donated $6,000.

 

Meanwhile, executives, writers and directors have also helped to fill the PACs coffers, including AMC Theaters CEO Adam Aron and MGM chairman Michael De Luca, who each donated $5,000, and Jumanji and Bad Teacher director Jake Kasdan who also donated $5,000.

 

According to FEC records, Bateman donated another $5,000 to the organization post-election.

 

At the time, the Hollywood Reporter identified Dreamworks co-founder David Geffen as a top contributor to the anti-Trump organization, donating at least $300,000 to the Lincoln Project. The most recent FEC data shows his contributions standing at $500,000.

 

Additionally, Dreamworks co-founder and Quibi CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg has donated $100,000.

 

According to Forbes, other major donors include notable billionaires:

 

Sequoia venture capitalist Michael Moritz, another earlier donor, gave another $50,000 in July. Walmart heiress Christy Walton first gave to the group in January. She donated another $10,000 in July, bringing her total contributions to $40,000. The Lincoln Project raised $39.4 million between July and September, according to filings. At least 3% of that came from billionaires. In total, the Lincoln Project has raised $58 million this year.

 

“The PACs biggest individual donor is businessman and oil heir Gordon Getty, who contributed $1 million,” according to the outlet.

 

Actress Debra Messing and anti-Trump filmmaker Rob Reiner were some of Hollywood’s biggest promoters of the Lincoln Project on social media, with the New Yorker specifically identifying Reiner as a donor. FEC data shows Reiner donating $10,000 to the organization in June 2020.

 

In a Sunday statement, the Lincoln Project expressed outrage toward Weaver, contending that he “led a secret life that was built on a foundation of deception at every level.”

 

“He is a predator, a liar, and an abuser,” the PAC stated.

 

However, suspicions span all the way back to 2004 but were dismissed.

Second Wave of Haitian Migrants Arrive at West Texas Border

 

A non-governmental shelter within the Del Rio Sector reports via social media their efforts to address the humanitarian needs of the recent asylum seekers.

 

In addition to addressing the immediate needs of this vulnerable population, local authorities in Mexico were left working to reunite an abandoned toddler during a previous illegal entry attempt. On January 30, Contra Punto Noticias Acuna reported the discovery of an abandoned two-year-old child on the banks of the Rio Grande River in Acuna, Coahuila. Ciudad Acuna sits directly across the border from Del Rio, Texas. This toddler is more than likely related to a large group of suspected Haitian Nationals that illegally entered the United States on that same day.

 

A spokesperson with the Border Patrol in Del Rio confirmed the entry and arrest of more than 100 migrants Monday morning.

“We’re In A World of Complete Irrationality” – Dr. Scott Atlas on How the States Are Distributing Vaccines Under Biden

 

Last week Dr. Scott Atlas was on the Larry O’Connor Show in Washington, D.C., and he refuted Biden’s claims that the previous Administration left Biden with a mess in regards to COVID.

 

Dr. Scott Atlas was on the Larry O’Connor Show on WMAL last week and he shared that the claims by Joe Biden that the prior administration was a mess in regards to how it handled the China coronavirus were false. Then he shared:

 

I’m not a politician so I usually answer the questions directly. This is all, you know, I don’t even want to get into the politics of things. It’s a challenge certainly to get all the people vaccinated…The goal should be to giving the vaccine to people who are at risk to die. That’s the purpose of the vaccine. And yet there are only a handful of states that have given most of the vaccinations to the people who are over 65 or elderly people. Which again, nothing is, we’re in a world of complete irrationality, apparently, particularly in the United States. There’s no reason for that, that most vaccines are given to people who are not at high risk to die.

 

With 40,000 reported COVID deaths in the last 10 days, it doesn’t look like Biden has room to talk.

Lincoln Project Rocked by Trumpian Levels of Scandal, Disarray

 

Sinking ship: Three cofounders cut ties before John Weaver allegations came to light

 

The Lincoln Project looks an awful lot like the Trump administration these days. The controversial Super PAC, ostensibly dedicated to restoring decency in American politics, is struggling to contain the fallout of a disturbing sex scandal as a growing number of founding members seek to distance themselves from the group.

 

After refusing for weeks to acknowledge credible allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct against cofounder John Weaver, senior Lincoln Project officials finally weighed in on the scandal over the weekend in response to a New York Times report on Weaver's predatory behavior. The report detailed efforts to solicit boys as young as 14 and Weaver's explicit offers of "advice, counsel, [and] help with bills" in exchange for sex.

 

The Lincoln Project's first substantive response to the allegations, issued two weeks after Weaver admitted to having "inappropriate" sexual conversations with young men, utilized some of Donald Trump's favorite tactics for weathering scandals, such as throwing a former ally under the bus, playing the victim, and denying everything with maximum indignation.

 

"[John Weaver] is a predator, a liar, and an abuser," the Lincoln Project said in a statement. "Like so many, we have been betrayed and deceived by John Weaver. We are grateful beyond words that at no time was John Weaver in the physical presence of any member of the Lincoln Project."

 

Lincoln Project senior adviser Jeff Timmer promoted the group's statement on Twitter, while adding some commentary of his own. "All you trolls: Read this. Then fuck off," he wrote.

 

Steve Schmidt, the Lincoln Project cofounder whose signature political achievement was convincing John McCain to choose Sarah Palin as a running mate in 2008, told the Times that he and his colleagues had heard "chatter" regarding Weaver's relationships with young men but denied any knowledge of "inappropriate behavior."

 

Informed observers were quick to call BS on the Lincoln Project's assertion of ignorance. Journalist Ryan Girdusky, who published one of the first detailed accounts of the allegations against Weaver, insisted that Lincoln Project officials "absolutely knew" about Weaver's "predatory behavior."

 

"EVERYONE knew for years what John was about," wrote journalist Yashar Ali. "The challenge was the young men wouldn’t talk to reporters even on background (which I understand, they feared retaliation). But this was no secret. Everyone talked about it."

 

Allegations that Weaver, who has a wife and children, has behaved inappropriately around young men date back decades. A New Republic profile of Republican strategist Karl Rove published in 2009 mentions that Rove "spread a rumor" in the 1980s about Weaver's behavior in an apparent effort to take down a rival GOP operative.

These Are the Official Space Force Ranks

 

The U.S. Space Force finally has an official rank structure for its enlisted members and officers, a service spokesman has confirmed to Military.com.

 

A leaked memo first posted on the popular Facebook page Amn/Nco/Snco detailed the new ranks, which nearly mirror Air Force ranks.

 

Instead of "airman," junior enlisted members between E-1 and E-4 will be called specialists, according to the document. The Army is the other service with a specialist rank, for troops in the E-4 paygrade.

 

While the Air Force has staff and technical sergeants, the Space Force E-5 rank will be known as sergeant, followed by technical sergeant for E-6. Officer ranks second lieutenant to general will remain the same as its sister service.

 

The new rank structure takes effect Feb. 1, the memo states.

 

The most senior member is the Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force, an E-9 rank, the memo adds. Chief Master Sgt. Roger Towberman, the senior enlisted adviser to the service, will officially assume that title effective next week, the spokesman said.

 

There will be no changes to benefits entitlements, according to the memo.

 

Some speculated that the Space Force, which is part of the Department of the Air Force, would adopt its parent service's rank structure; others argued for using the Navy's rank system – which is what some lawmakers intended.

 

In July, Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, proposed an amendment in the fiscal 2021 National Defense Authorization Act requiring "the same system and rank structure as is used in the Navy" for the Space Force, according to a House summary of the text.

 

Space Force officials said they were ready to move forward, but because of the measure, the service halted announcing its decision at that time.

 

A Navy rank system would make sense for the Space Force, experts have said. Other space enthusiasts have noted on social media that "Space Admiral just sounds better."

 

"A good reason to use Navy ranks in the Space Force is to better distinguish [Space Force] personnel from Air Force personnel, kind of like [the Marine Corps] using different ranks than the Navy," Todd Harrison, director of the Aerospace Security Project at the Center for Strategic & International Studies, said in July following Crenshaw's proposal.

 

But last month, lawmakers ultimately ditched Crenshaw’s provision on naval ranks.

 

Even William Shatner the actor who portrayed Capt. James Kirk of the USS Enterprise in the original "Star Trek" series initially backed Crenshaw's idea.

 

In an op-ed titled, "What the heck is wrong with you, Space Force?" published in Military Times in August 2020, Shatner said there is historical precedence in the entertainment industry, anyway for space commanding officers to take naval ranks.

 

"When you unveiled the Space Force logo, many immediately saw it as an homage to 'Star Trek' (even though our Delta was an homage to the previous military space insignias). Why not borrow back from 'Star Trek' and adopt our ranks as well?" he wrote. "We took them from the Navy for good reason."

 

While its rank structure seems to be set, the Space Force still lacks an official dress uniform, physical fitness uniform and mess dress uniform; an official song; patch and insignia wear.

Biden’s ‘Buy American’ Clean Energy Conundrum

 

President's climate actions kill American jobs while boosting China, experts say

 

President Joe Biden's latest climate-focused executive order promises a bustling clean energy sector backed by "good-paying union jobs." That sector's supply chain, however, is largely dominated by China.

 

Issued on Wednesday, Biden's order calls on the federal government to purchase union-built, American electric vehicles. But both Chevrolet and Nissan's top electric offerings fall well below the federal government's domestic "component test" to determine American-made status, and Ford's latest electric SUV, the Mustang Mach-E, will be built in China and Mexico. China also controls much of the world's lithium battery supply, including 77 percent of global cell capacity and 60 percent of global component manufacturing, a September BloombergNEF report shows.

 

Biden climate envoy John Kerry, meanwhile, suggested Wednesday that disgruntled oil and coal workers could simply find new jobs in the solar sector. The clean energy industry's reliance on foreign markets and companies extends to solar energy. China controls roughly 60 percent of the industry's total supply chain and manufactures 75 percent of the world's polysilicon—a raw material used to make solar cells—according to research firm Wood Mackenzie.

 

The White House did not return a request for comment.

 

China's grip on clean energy means that Biden's push for a green American economy will likely benefit the Communist nation, sparking national-security concerns among Republican lawmakers. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R., Wash.), the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, told the Washington Free Beacon that Biden's "radical" climate actions will "kill jobs and increase our reliance on China."

 

"The national-security implications here are incredibly concerning. These Green New Deal-style mandates will constrict America's energy independence—something all Americans fought hard to achieve over the last few years," McMorris Rodgers said.

 

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.) echoed the Washington Republican's sentiment, adding that Biden's energy policies "will advantage our adversaries and hurt American workers and the American taxpayer."

Dozens Of Former Bush Officials Leave Republican Party, Calling It A ‘Trump Cult’

 

Dozens of Republicans who served in former President George W. Bush’s administration are reportedly leaving the party, unhappy that fellow members are not disavowing former President Donald Trump after he claimed fraud cost him the 2020 election – a claim that ignited a violent riot at the U.S. Capitol last month.

 

The officials had hoped that when Trump lost, party leaders would “move on from the former president and denounce his baseless claims that the November presidential election was stolen,” Reuters reported. “But with most Republican lawmakers sticking to Trump, these officials say they no longer recognize the party they served. Some have ended their membership, others are letting it lapse while a few are newly registered as independents, according to a dozen former Bush officials who spoke with Reuters.”“The Republican Party as I knew it no longer exists. I’d call it the cult of Trump,” Jimmy Gurulé, who was Undersecretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence in the Bush administration, told the news agency.

 

“If it continues to be the party of Trump, many of us are not going back,” Rosario Marin, a former Treasurer of the U.S. under Bush, told Reuters. “Unless the Senate convicts him, and rids themselves of the Trump cancer, many of us will not be going back to vote for Republican leaders.”

 

One former official, Suzy DeFrancis, a veteran of the Republican Party who served in administrations including those of former presidents Richard Nixon and George W. Bush, said she voted for Biden in November. “I totally understand why people are frustrated and want to leave the party. I’ve had that feeling for four years,” DeFrancis said.But she said the Republican Party needs to return to its core principles, such as limited government, personal responsibility, free enterprise, and a strong national defense.

 

The Reuters report came as an Illinois Republican lawmaker called on members of the party to give up the division and conspiracy theories spurred by Trump.

 

“The biggest danger right now is that we’ve become a party that dabbles — not just dabbles — we traffic in conspiracies and we traffic in lies,” Rep. Adam Kinzinger, according to The Los Angeles Times.

 

On Sunday, Kinzinger posted a video on the website country1st.com. “Our country’s future is truly unlimited. After all, we are the party that ended slavery, secured women’s suffrage, and won the war against communist tyranny. Now we must be the party that lifts up the rural town and the inner city. We must be the party that empowers every student to soar and every family to thrive,” the website says.

 

Kinzinger was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump last month.

 

“Republicans must say enough is enough. It’s time to unplug the outrage machine, reject the politics of personality, and cast aside the conspiracy theories and rage. It’s time to turn back from the edge of darkness and return to the ideals that have long been our guiding light,” he said in the recorded video. “It’s now or never. The choice is ours. I’ve made mine, and I hope every Republican, and every American who shares our values, will choose to join me. Let’s take back our party.”

#BidenLied Trends on Twitter as Angry Libs Realize They Aren't Getting What They Wanted

 

In December and January, as he barnstormed around Georgia for Senate runoff candidates Jon Ossoff and the Rev. Raphael Warnock, then-President-elect Joe Biden made a promise: Elect these two and you get $2,000 stimulus checks.

 

The day before the election, he made it abundantly clear: “By electing Jon and the reverend, you can make an immediate difference in your own lives, the lives of the people all across this country,” he said at a rally.

 

“Because their election will put an end to the block in Washington on that $2000 stimulus check, that money would go out the door immediately, to help people who are in real trouble.

 

“Think about what it will mean to your lives. Putting food on the table, paying rent, paying part of your mortgage, paying down the credit card, paying the phone bill, the gas bill, the electric bill.”

 

https://youtu.be/KbDJJ782MfY

 

Now that he’s in the White House, Biden’s COVID-19 relief package includes $1,400 relief checks, not $2,000. The Democrats’ line is that $600 + $1,400 = $2,000. What part of that don’t you understand?

 

The part one doesn’t understand is that, well before Biden was saying this, then-President Donald Trump had signed off on the $600 checks and they’d already started going out on Dec. 29, according to Forbes.

 

Biden himself — or whoever runs his Twitter account — seemed to acknowledge the distinction between the $600 checks that were going out the door and the $2,000 checks that he was promising.

Jailed 'Cowboys for Trump' Leader Moved to Solitary Confinement for Refusing COVID Procedure

 

The leader of the group Cowboys for Trump is being held in isolation in a Washington, D.C., jail after refusing to take a coronavirus test.

 

Couy Griffin, a commissioner of Otero County in southern New Mexico, also has been refusing to meet with a court-appointed attorney or the judge handling his case, according to KVIA-TV in El Paso, Texas.

 

Griffin has been charged with participating in the Capitol incursion and was arrested on Jan. 17 after returning to Washington from New Mexico.

 

U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui has threatened Griffin with contempt of court if he does not start abiding by the rules, KVIA reported Sunday.

 

“On January 17, 2021, law enforcement arrested the defendant. The defendant refused to take a COVID-19 test upon his admission to the jail. Doing so forced authorities to place the defendant in 14-day isolation to protect the prison population and staff from the risk of exposure,” Faruqui wrote in an order.

 

The judge said things got no better four days later.

 

“Jail staff provided the defendant with a headset to participate in this hearing remotely. The defendant refused to participate in the hearing and stated on the record that he did not wish to speak with the judge,” Faruqui wrote in the order.

 

“On January 25, 2021, an attorney for the D.C. jail informed the Court that they attempted to set up a call with the defendant and Mr. Smith that day,” the judge said, referring to court-appointed attorney David Smith. “During the call, the defendant refused to speak to Mr. Smith. The defendant then yelled at the officer who attempted to assist with the call and began banging on his cell door.”

Faruqui said enough is enough.

 

“The defendant shall appear via phone or video on February 1, 2021 for his initial appearance. Neither he nor his counsel may waive this right. This matter will not move forward to a detention hearing until the defendant appears. Failure to comply with such order may result in a finding of contempt,” he wrote.

 

Faruqui noted that Griffin can end isolation any time he wants.

 

“Simply taking a COVID-19 test, something hundreds of millions of people have safely done across the world, will allow the defendant to exit isolation,” he wrote.

Former Business Partner of Hunter Biden’s Criminal Defense Attorney Is Picked for a Top Justice Department Position

 

The former business partner of Hunter Biden’s attorney has been picked as a top Justice Department official by the Biden Administration.

 

The news came out last week:

 

Fox News host Tucker Carlson reported a former business partner of Hunter Biden’s criminal defense attorney has been picked as a top Justice Department official in President Biden’s new administration.

 

It has already been revealed that Nicholas McQuaid, a former federal prosecutor, was picked as acting chief of the Justice Department’s criminal division. Hunter Biden confirmed in early December, after his father won the 2020 election, that he was under federal investigation.

 

Carlson said on his show Friday night that McQuaid worked with Christopher Clark as partners at Latham & Watkins and worked on cases together right until McQuaid took the job at the Justice Department.

 

“On Jan. 21 of this year, the same day Nicholas McQuaid was featured in the Justice Department press release, Latham & Watkins filed a motion in court to withdraw McQuaid as an attorney [in a case] he was working on with Christopher Clark. So that means Joe Biden put at the head of the criminal division the partner of the guy his son had hired to defend him against the criminal division. Whoa,” Carlson said.

 

“We reached out to the Justice Department for a comment on this,” Carlson added. “They refused to say whether McQuaid would recuse himself for matters involving Hunter Biden and his former partner, who is representing Hunter Biden. It’s all pretty amazing. Another reminder, there’s a lot going on within the Biden family.”

 

Law.com refers to the new position as follows:

 

Nicholas McQuaid, a former federal prosecutor in Manhattan who served as a White House lawyer during the Obama presidency, has been named the acting leader of the U.S. Justice Department’s criminal division, a role that will come with oversight of the Biden administration’s early white-collar enforcement efforts and the ongoing crackdown on coronavirus-related fraud, according to people familiar with the move.

Biden Threatens Sanctions Against Burma Following Military Coup — Press Secretary Says It’s A ‘Message’ To China, Other Countries

 

President Joe Biden threatened Monday to reimpose sanctions against Burma after military leaders staged a coup in the Southeast Asian country over the weekend.

 

“The military’s seizure of power in Burma, the detention of Aung San Suu Kyi and other civilian officials, and the declaration of a national state of emergency are a direct assault on the country’s transition to democracy and the rule of law,” the president said in a statement. “In a democracy, force should never seek to overrule the will of the people or attempt to erase the outcome of a credible election."

 

“The international community should come together in one voice to press the Burmese military to immediately relinquish the power they have seized, release the activists and officials they have detained, lift all telecommunications restrictions, and refrain from violence against civilians,” he continued. “The United States removed sanctions on Burma over the past decade based on progress toward democracy. The reversal of that progress will necessitate an immediate review of our sanction laws and authorities, followed by appropriate action. The United States will stand up for democracy wherever it is under attack.”

 

Biden additionally noted that the U.S. is “taking note of those who stand with the people of Burma in this difficult hour” and “will work with our partners throughout the region and the world to support the restoration of democracy and the rule of law, as well as to hold accountable those responsible for overturning Burma’s democratic transition.”

 

The Burma coup took place just ahead of a new parliamentary session over the weekend, when commander-in-chief Min Aung Hlaing seized power and detained chief ministers from Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) party. Former General Myint Swe was additionally installed as president.
