Dem Lawmakers Sell Out Women, Ban Female Athletes Planning to Testify Against ‘Equality Act’

The Equality Act, one of the Democrats’ most controversial initiatives, passed the House by a 224-206 vote. It’s now headed to the Senate, where some of the people who will be most affected by it won’t be able to testify in hearings on the bill.

As CNS News notes, the bill would modify the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include protections for “gender identity” and “sexual orientation.” This includes a whole raft of controversies with it, but the biggest may be what it does to women’s sports.

“In practice this would mean, among other things, that transgender ‘females’ (biological males) would be allowed to play on girls’ sports teams and use their bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers,” CNS reported.

Last Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings on the Equality Act. Three of the highest-profile individuals who could speak on the girls’ sports issue — Chelsea Mitchell, Alanna Smith and Selina Soule, three Connecticut high school athletes who sued after biological boys were allowed to compete in girls’ track and field events — were blocked from testifying by Democrats even though Republicans had invited them to share their testimony, according to the Washington Examiner.

Same thing with Christina Mitchell, Chelsea’s mother. She’d been invited by the GOP and denied a speaking slot by Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat.

A Democratic aide to the Judiciary Committee said the requests were denied by Durbin because the minority party is typically only given two speaking slots.

However, given the importance of the Connecticut case, the precedent it could set, and the fact it could be completely upended by the Equality Act, one might think it’d be important to hear from them.

Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz called the decision “striking and revealing.”

“They didn’t want the American people to hear, to hear about the unfairness to little girls having girls’ sports destroyed because of the radical policies of today’s Democrats,” Cruz said.

The women were still allowed to submit written testimony, however.

Chelsea Mitchell was a former track athlete at Canton High School in Connecticut who said her state’s policy allowing biological males to compete in girls’ track and field events created an uneven playing field.

Nonprofit Executives Are Profiteers of the Migrant Unaccompanied Minors Program

After a hiatus, a new tsunami of illegal aliens is overrunning America’s border. Most troubling is the wave of unaccompanied illegal minors.

The Human & Health Services is providing billions in grants to nonprofits to accommodate the asylum scam. The nonprofits that provide the services enjoy substantial profit margins due to poor administration and lack of oversight by HHS., resulting in hundreds of millions in waste, fraud, and abuse by nonprofits.

According to HHS grant statistics for the Unaccompanied Alien Children Program (UAC), an Obama Administration creation, has spent over $9.7 billion since 2008. Approximately 407,000 adolescents received services or a $23,800 amount per referral.

In 2020, approximately 85% of unaccompanied minors were from Central American countries, with 68% male. It is doubtful that any youth walked almost 1,500 miles (75 days nonstop at 20 miles per day) to arrive at the U.S. border. The illegal entry is human trafficking funded by clandestine organizations and cartel-supported.

La Raza’s Alter Ego

Southwest Key Programs, located in Austin, Texas, runs the largest network of shelters for migrant children in government care, receiving grants totaling $2.8 billion. Its sole source of funding comes from federal grants. Its Board of Trustees, until recently, had four lifetime La Raza political activists who oversaw the nonprofit operations. The founder and La Raza member, Juan Sanchez, CEO, was forced to resign in 2019 due to allegations of fraud, including exorbitant compensation for him and his wife. Mr. Sanchez sanctimoniously justifies his excessive pay claiming the Trustee Board, which he controlled, and the independent auditors approved the salary.

Location of Origin of COVID-19 Pandemic Identified – Between Two of China’s Biological Warfare Facilities in Wuhan

According to China’s own data, the original hot spot for COVID-19 infections occurred in a residential area in the four miles between the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the Biological Preparations Institute of the China Biology Technology Group Corporation.

Both of those institutions have been associated with China’s biological warfare program and, prior to and since the onset of the pandemic, they have collaborated on vaccine development.

For months after the start of the pandemic in December 2019, China flooded the scientific literature with subtle and sometimes not so subtle messages supporting its narrative that COVID-19 is a naturally-occurring disease that “jumped” from animals to humans in the Wuhan seafood market.

On May 26, 2020, the Wall Street Journal reported that China was finally forced to admit that COVID-19 did not originate in the Wuhan seafood market, a theory now totally discredited, even by the Chinese Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Nevertheless, China’s attempts to cover-up the origin of COVID-19 continue.

Even as recently as February of this year, China has refused to give raw data on early COVID-19 cases to a World Health Organization (WHO) team probing the origins of the pandemic.

The WHO team had requested raw patient data on 174 cases that China had identified from the early phase of the outbreak in the city of Wuhan in December 2019, as well as other cases.

At the same time, Beijing has sought to cast doubt on the notion that COVID-19 originated in China, pointing to imported frozen food as a conduit.

Eventually, the WHO team was pressured by China to include in its report that dubious explanation for the origin of the pandemic.

There is, however, a far simpler and more accurate explanation for the origin of COVID-19, based on China’s own data.

Blinken Urges Collective Action Against 'Aggressive' China In First Address To NATO

Secretary of State Antony Blinken went after China and other "autocratic states" during his first official European engagement Wednesday, addressing a meeting of NATO officials in Brussels. While urging a "collective" response to the China threat, he at the same time told his audience at NATO headquarters that the US doesn't plan to force allies into an "us-or-them" choice when it comes to confronting Beijing (akin to the US longstanding policy on Iran sanctions in which countries are punished for dealing with Tehran).

"The United States won't force our allies into an 'us-or-them' choice with China," he said, and emphasized "there’s no question that China's coercive behavior threatens our collective security and prosperity." He added: "But that doesn't mean countries can’t work with China where possible. The United States will. We can't afford not to – especially on challenges like climate change and health security."

He had earlier told officials in some introductory remarks upon arriving in Brussels, "Whether it is tackling some of the new challenges like climate or the cyber realm, the rise of autocratic states and the challenges that they pose, we have a profound interest in doing it together, doing it collectively, relying on collective security, and that’s what Nato is all about," Blinken said. He urged that NATO should be "focused on some of the challenges that China poses to the rules-based international order."

"We will rely on innovation, not ultimatums," he said while calling on the West to outcompete with China, as opposed to military confrontation.

In the "us-or-them" part of his speech, and the question of whether allies will be coerced in going along with Washington's position, he further sought to assure: "We know that our allies have complex relationships with China that won't always align perfectly with ours. But we need to navigate these challenges together."

And according to Bloomberg on the question of greater shared defense spending which was so much a theme of the prior Trump administration, Blinken is "is offering some wiggle room to allies that haven’t boosted defense spending as much as the US wants."

Setting up Cold War 2.0

Banned experimental stimulants from 1940s found in multiple weight loss, dietary supplements

Researchers are sounding the alarm after a number of experimental, unapproved stimulant drugs from the World War II-era were discovered in weight loss and sports supplements across the US.

In a new study, scientists at NSF International, Harvard Medical School and Cambridge Health Alliance analyzed 17 brands of supplements sold in the US labeled as containing the unapproved drug Deterenol, which boasts such side effects as nausea, vomiting, chest pain, heart attacks and even death.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) previously ruled that the substance is prohibited for use in dietary supplements and yet the scientists discovered Deterenol in 13 of 17 supplements.

However, through the course of their analysis, the researchers discovered another experimental stimulant called phenpromethamine, which was previously used in a nasal inhaler called Vonedrine in the 1940s and 1950s but was never approved for oral use, in four of the supplements analyzed.

They also found numerous other prohibited stimulants throughout their research, including “cocktails” of combined stimulant drugs, the effects of which had never been studied on people, making their sale in supplements tantamount to human experiments.

“Finding nine different experimental prohibited stimulants at the same time was really quite shocking,” study lead author Dr. Pieter Cohen said.

The researchers found as many as four different stimulants in just a single on-the-market supplement.

“The FDA should warn consumers about the presence of cocktails of experimental stimulants in weight loss and sports supplements and take immediate effective action to remove these stimulants from the market,” the study says.

However, the authors warn that the FDA has been slow to sound the alarm to consumers, even after other World War II-era experimental stimulants were previously discovered in dietary supplements as far back as 2004.

Cohen preaches caution when it comes to two main categories of dietary supplements: so-called ‘fat burners’ and pre-workout or muscle-building supplements, excluding protein powders.

“The FDA is dedicated to advancing our strategic priorities for dietary supplements: safety, product integrity, and informed decision-making. We appreciate studies like this for raising awareness and bringing needed attention to these matters,” the FDA wrote in a statement when asked about the findings of the study.

Report: Illegal immigrants to receive more than $4 billion in stimulus checks as part of Biden's COVID relief bill

Millions of illegal aliens are in line to be paid

Millions of illegal immigrants residing in the United States are set to receive $1,400 stimulus checks as part of Biden's coronavirus relief package, according to a new report published this week by the Center for Immigration Studies.

In the report released Monday, the think tank determined that as much as $4.38 billion will be doled out to individuals illegally residing in the country as a part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 due to certain immigrants' possession of Social Security numbers.

During debate over the legislation, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) took issue with that part of the bill's language that he argued would result in payments to illegal aliens. He introduced an amendment to stop that from taking place, but the measure was quickly rejected by the Democratic majority.

At the time, Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin (Ill.) claimed that "undocumented immigrants do not have Social Security numbers, and they do not qualify for stimulus relief checks, period."

But CIS Director of Research Steven Camarota responded to Durbin's claim in the report, stating, "This is incorrect; we estimate that there are 2.65 million illegal immigrants who have Social Security numbers that allow them to receive stimulus checks. We estimate that 2.1 million of these individuals have incomes low enough to qualify for checks, and they have 1.1 million U.S.-born dependent children."

"As a result, illegal immigrants could receive an estimated $4.38 billion in cash payments from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021," he concluded.

What else?

In its report, CIS listed several situations in which illegal aliens could be in possession of valid SSNs, since they are often issued the number upon being granted work authorizations by the U.S. government.

"There are 653,000 illegal immigrants with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and 411,000 with Temporary Protected Status (TPS)," CIS noted, adding, "In FY 2020, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued 882,000 work authorizations and Social Security numbers to other illegal immigrants. Among the categories eligible are adjustment of status, suspension of deportation, and asylum applicants, as well as those given withholding of removal, deferred action (non-DACA), and parolees."

Twitter admits error by censoring photos of detention center at US-Mexico border

Twitter has admitted it made a mistake in censoring photos of migrants sleeping on the floor at a government detention center in Texas, according to a report.

James O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas, posted a video on Twitter Monday showing pictures of the crowded facility but the photos were hidden behind a filter claiming the content was “potentially sensitive.”

“BREAKING: Project Veritas Obtains Horrifying NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN Images From Within Donna, TX Immigrant Detention Center; THOUSANDS of Illegal Immigrants PACKED Into Tight Spaces And Wrapped In Space Blankets On Floor; Insider: ’50+ COVID Positive,'” the post said.

But a spokeswoman for Twitter told Breitbart News that the warning was “incorrectly applied by one of our automated tools and it has since been removed.”

NATO Scientist With Security Clearance Convicted After Spying for China.

A North Atlantic Treaty Organization scientist who obtained a security clearance was convicted for spying on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.

The individual – Estonian researcher Tarmo Kõuts – was recruited by Chinese military intelligence while serving as a member of the Scientific Committee of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Undersea Research Center.

Kõuts, who had a state secret permit as well as NATO security clearance dating back fourteen years at the time of his arrest, was also the Vice President of NATO’s Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation from 2018 to 2020. The center “conducts relevant, state-of-the-art scientific research in ocean science, modeling and simulation, acoustics and other disciplines.”

According to Aleksander Toots, the deputy director of Estonia’s top counterintelligence agency, Kõuts was recruited by China’s Intelligence Bureau of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission in 2018. Kõuts allegedly had an accomplice who was also arrested by police on September 9th, 2020.

Kõuts received cash payments totaling $20,000 from Chinese Communist Party handlers in addition to paid trips to various Asian countries with luxury accommodations and dinners at Michelin star restaurants.

The Chinese Communist Party agents handling him were operating under the cover of a think tank – a common approach used by the Chinese Communist Party targets Western researchers as documented by the National Pulse.

Kõuts was sentenced to three years in prison.

Chuck Schumer: State Voting Laws ‘One of the Greatest Threats We Have to Modern Democracy in America’

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) likened basic election integrity measures embraced by several states, such as voter ID, to the era of Jim Crow and accused the GOP of attempting to suppress voters. He made the remarks during Wednesday’s Senate Rules and Administration Committee hearing on S 1, or the “For the People Act,” which critics warn will strip power from the states and federalize U.S. elections.

Speaking to his colleagues during the hearing, Schumer blasted Republican state legislatures, such as Georgia’s, for pursuing basic election integrity measures, calling it “infuriating” and accusing Republicans of being “afraid” of democracy and trying to prevent people from voting.

“Some of these voter suppression laws in Georgia and other Republican states smack of Jim Crow rearing its ugly head once again. It is 160 years since the 13, 14, and 15th amendments abolished slavery, and Jim Crow stills seems to be with us,” the New York progressive said.

“The laws, their various cousins in Republican state legislatures across the country, are one of the greatest threats we have to modern democracy in America,” Schumer declared before citing the Washington Post:

According to the Washington Post, these laws could strain every available method of voting for tens of millions of Americans, the most sweeping contradiction of ballot access in the United States since the end of Reconstruction. If one political party believes that when you lose an election the answer isn’t to win more votes but rather to try and prevent the other side from voting, we have an existential threat to democracy on our hands. If we don’t stop these vicious and often racist actions, third-world autocracy … will be on its way. That is why the country so badly needs S 1, a bill that would combat all of these voter suppression efforts. A bill that would make it easier, not harder, to vote by automatically registering American voters when they get a driver’s license. By guaranteeing at least 15 continuous days of early voting. A bill that would limit dark money and corruption in our politics and much more.

Schumer said he expects to hear the “same tired canards from our Republican colleagues, many of which have no basis in fact, most of which defy belief.”

“We’re going to hear that it’s a federal takeover of our elections,” Schumer said, telling his colleagues that the founders “wrote in the constitution that the Congress has the power to pass laws to determine the time, place, and manner of federal elections.”

“We’ve been down this road before,” he said, contending that opponents of voting rights throughout history have always said “leave it to the states.”

“Just leave it to the states to discriminate against African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, younger Americans in college. It is shameful our Republican colleagues are proposing these ideas in 2020,” Schumer said.

“Shame, Shame, shame. This is not a usual political argument. This goes to the core of our democracy. The crowning achievement of the American Civil Rights movement was a federal election law,” he continued.

“It shouldn’t matter if a state wants to do it if it’s so, so wrong. If it’s so against the grain of our democracy. Voting rights are sacrosanct,” Schumer said, promising that S 1 “will be a priority in this Congress.”

A HEP and HEP Action survey released this week showed that a majority of registered voters, including a majority of black and Latino voters, support voter ID laws. The same survey found that a majority of voters oppose operatives and organizers harvesting ballots.

German Parliamentarian Implicated in Azerbaijan Laundromat Dies

German lawmaker and member of the ruling Christian Democratic Union, Karin Strenz, died on Saturday while traveling privately from Cuba to Germany. Strenz was implicated in the Azerbaijani Laundromat, a EU-wide lobbying and money laundering scheme revealed by OCCRP in 2017.

According to media reports, Strenz fell unconscious as the plane from Havana to Frankfurt am Main was crossing the Atlantic. Pilots decided to land in Ireland where Strenz was taken to a hospital but upon arrival doctors could only determine her death.

The Laundromat scheme was a complex money-laundering operation and slush fund that handled US$2.9 billion over a two-year period through shell companies registered in the U.K.

Among the many things the money allegedly bought was silence if not praise from western officials even as Azerbaijan’s government arrested scores of human rights and anti-corruption activists as well as journalists.

In 2020 German authorities raided Strenz’s home and office as part of their investigation into her involvement in the scheme. Via a lobbying company, she allegedly received at least $24,270 to lobby for the Azerbaijani regime while she was a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).

WaPo Op-Ed Writer Jennifer Rubin Wants The Biden Administration To Fact-Check The Press

The Washington Post’s opinion writer Jennifer Rubin wants President Joe Biden’s administration to begin fact-checking the White House press corps.

Rubin, once described as The Post’s “conservative opinion writer,” centered her argument around the situation at the border. Reporters have pushed the administration on whether it should be called a “crisis” as the area experiences a surge of migrants and unaccompanied minors.

Despite bipartisan concern regarding the border, Rubin argued “there has been no surge of arrivals outside the normal fluctuation of migration” and criticized reporters for taking “Republicans seriously.” She continued on to suggest the Biden administration fact-check the press in an effort to “debunk and rebut” an apparent “false Republican-driven narrative.”

“The lesson here for the administration is to debunk and rebut a false Republican-driven narrative quickly,” Rubin declared. “As they do with covid-19 hearings, showering reporters with data rather than debating an issue on Republican terms generally works better.”

“It is now also incumbent on the media to review its coverage and come clean with viewers and readers. When its breathless coverage turns out to be deeply misleading, it should explain how and why they got it wrong,” she added.

Rubin also criticized the press for pressing the administration on the subject. She said Biden “is not drama-prone” and suggested reporters have failed to adjust to a post-Trump era.

“Moreover, they seem determined to create the same level of emotion and conflict in an administration that is emotionally contained and de-escalates conflict. The administration is worried! No, it’s struggling! No, make that besieged!” Rubin wrote.

An Axios report published March 22 noted the number of unaccompanied minors in Customs and Border Protection custody has quadrupled over the course of the last week. The administration has been largely reluctant to describe the situation as a “crisis” and has sparred with reporters over allowing access to tour facilities holding migrants.

Dems Intro Bill To Rename FBI HQ To Reflect ‘Diversity’ & ‘Social Justice.’

House Democrats introduced a bill to establish a commission with the power to redesignate the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Headquarters Building to reflect “racial, ethnic, and gender diversity.”

The bill would establish a ‘‘National Commission on Renaming the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Headquarters Building’’ that would “review” building’s current designation and “provide recommendations on the redesignation of such building.”

The Washington, D.C. building is currently named after J. Edgar Hoover, who served as the first director of the FBI and held the position for nearly half a century. And the six-page bill provides no explanation as to why Hoover’s name should be scrubbed from the building.

The bill, introduced by Rep. Gerry Connolly, outlines the criteria for the process, “ensuring that such redesignation reflects […] racial, ethnic, and gender diversity.”

“The mission and values of the FBI” and the “values of the United States Constitution” are also included as criteria if the commission decides the building ought to be renamed.

The commission would be composed of eight members: two people appointed by the president, two people appointed by the Senate Majority Leader, one person appointed by the Senate Minority Leader, two people appointed by the Speaker of the House, and one person appointed by the Minority Leader of the House.

“Each member of the Commission shall have expertise in the history of the Federal Government or social justice issues,” notes the bill, which has been referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure since its February introduction.

“Not later than 30 days after the Commission submits the final report pursuant to section 5(b), the Director of the FBI shall determine whether to redesignate the J. Edgar Hoover F.B.I. Building in accordance with the recommendations of the Commission,” the bill explains.

Sen. Bill Hagerty: Biden’s Open Borders Are ‘Killing Our Kids in Tennessee’ with Drugs Made with Chinese Fentanyl

President Joe Biden’s border and immigration policies are killing Americans by increasing drug trafficking into the U.S. from Mexico, said Sen. Bill Hagerty on Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow, author of Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption.

Americans are dying of overdoses of illicit drugs laced with China-sourced fentanyl, Hagerty stated.

“China is pumping this fentanyl into Mexico … where it’s manufactured and used as a component of drugs that are that are coming in and killing our kids in Tennessee.”

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) told Breitbart News on Tuesday that 30,000 Americans each year are dying of overdoses from drugs smuggled across the southern border.

Hagerty added, “Why did [the Biden administration] remove the Stay in Mexico policy — the Migrant Protection Protocol — that had a dramatic impact of keeping the people that were seeking asylum south of the border? The Mexican government was even protecting the border. Now, they went straight to catch and release.”

“They opened the door and it’s a floodgate, right now,” he continued, “It’s been an open invitation, and when you offer stimulus checks to illegal immigrants, what sort of incentive is that? It’s all the wrong incentives, and that’s why they’ve got a crisis of their own making on their hands, and it’s really threatening the safety and security of states like mine.”

Hagerty said “several sheriffs” had advised him of increases in drug smuggling and human trafficking during Biden’s presidency.

Hagerty contrasted the Biden administration’s treatment of American citizens with its approach to migrants seeking entry across the U.S.-Mexico border in terms of policies ostensibly implemented in response to Chinese coronavirus mitigation.

“We’ve been expected to lock down our communities,” he remarked. “We’ve been expected to shut our kids out of school, yet Biden just opened the border for these folks and let them move in. I presume the answer is that they aren’t testing them — or they certainly aren’t getting them all tested — and I’d like to know how many have tested positive.”

The Biden administration’s separate standards for citizens and non-citizens with respect to restrictions framed as coronavirus prevention policies are driving a political awakening among Americans, Hagerty determined.

“The American public is waking up to what Biden is bringing forth to us,” he claimed. “If we think about just the exposure to COVID that’s coming across the border and how different the treatment is for someone who’s not a citizen versus the treatment that our own citizens and our own schoolchildren are going through, I think this is going to create a groundswell that’s going to force the Biden administration into action.”

BoJo’s Lockdown Did Not Protect Us, But It Will Destroy Us

Britain held a minute’s silence today to mark one of the most shaming moments in her long island story: the day Prime Minister Boris Johnson put the whole nation under house arrest in order, so he claimed, to save the National Health Service.

The initial lockdown lasted just weeks. This was all that was necessary, some suggested at the time, to flatten the curve (or “squash the sombrero”, as Johnson comically put it) of COVID-19’s trajectory. That way, we were told, NHS hospitals would not be overwhelmed and Britain could build up herd immunity, just like it had with every other novel disease outbreak since time immemorial.

One year on, though, Britain remains in lockdown. People are required to wear masks, maintain “social distancing” and to stay at home unless absolutely necessary. There is plenty of evidence of the collateral damage these measures have caused to the economy (which suffered its biggest fall in output in 300 years), to the many businesses it has destroyed, and the lives that have been lost as a result of everything from undiagnosed and untreated cancers to suicide.

Lockdowns have been a disaster not only for Britain but for all the countries that have been foolish enough to adopt them. But then, that was always the intention of the organisation that did most to promote lockdowns as a means of combating Chinese Coronavirus: the Chinese Communist Party.

U.S. lawyer and investigative journalist Michael P Senger suggests lockdowns were essentially a CCP invention, heavily pushed on social media via thousands of fake accounts run by Chinese operatives with the purpose of destabilising the West:

Increasing Numbers of Deported Child Sex Offenders Appearing at U.S. Border

Border Patrol officials along the entire southwest border with Mexico report increasing numbers of previously deported child sex offenders illegally re-entering the U.S. The criminal aliens reportedly include child molesters and child rapists.

As the border crisis continues to grow, Border Patrol officials report they are seeing increasing numbers of criminal aliens attempting to re-enter the United States after being deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The reports come from nearly every sector along the southwest border, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials revealed.

Tuesday evening, McAllen Station agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector arrested a migrant who illegally crossed the border near Mission, Texas, CBP officials stated. During the processing, agents conducted a biometric background investigation that identified one of the men as Jonathan Rivera-Rosales, a Honduran national. The criminal background check uncovered a conviction from a court in Marathon County, Wisconsin, for 2nd Degree Sexual Assault of a Child. The court convicted Rivera-Rosales and sentenced him to ten years probation. Officials did not disclose the age of the child.

12 attorneys general call on Facebook and Twitter to remove anti-vaxxers from their services

A coalition of state attorneys general on Wednesday called on Facebook and Twitter to enforce their community guidelines and rid their services of anti-vaccine misinformation.

The coalition highlights that just 12 accounts and their associated organizations are responsible for 65% of the public anti-vaccine content on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

A coalition of 12 state attorneys general on Wednesday called on Facebook and Twitter to enforce their community guidelines and rid their services of misinformation being spread by accounts promoting anti-vaccine ideas.

“Misinformation disseminated via your platforms has increased vaccine hesitancy, which will slow economic recovery and, more importantly, ultimately cause even more unnecessary deaths,” the coalition of attorneys general wrote in a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

The coalition highlights that just 12 accounts and their associated organizations are responsible for 65% of the public anti-vaccine content on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. In particular, the accounts target people of color to discourage them from getting the Covid-19 vaccines, the letter said.

The letter comes a day before Zuckerberg, Dorsey and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai are set to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on the topic of misinformation on their services.

Head Of WHO Says It’s “Grotesque” That Countries Are Putting Their Own Citizens First

The head of the World Health Organisation has labeled it “grotesque” that countries such as the UK and the US are putting their own populations first when it comes to offering vaccines.

In a video address, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that the planet faces a “catastrophic moral failure” because wealthier countries are focusing on their own people, rather than those in poorer countries.

Tedros called it “shocking” that nations have signed contracts with vaccine manufacturers for their own people, with the UK leading the way, having vaccinated half its population in a matter of months.

The US has said that it will focus on vaccinating its own population, then look to help other countries afterwards.

“We have the means to avert this failure but it’s shocking how little has been done to avert it,” complained the WHO chief.

“The gap between the number of vaccines administered in rich countries and the number of vaccines administered through COVAX is growing every single day and becoming more grotesque every day,” he added, referring to the WHO’s global vaccine coalition with UNICEF, Gavi, and the Vaccine Alliance.

“Countries that are now vaccinating younger, healthy people at low risk of disease are doing so at the cost of the lives of health workers, older people and other at-risk groups in other countries,” Tedros stated, adding “The world’s poorest countries wonder whether rich countries really mean what they say when they talk about solidarity.”

He continued that the situation is not just “a moral outrage” but also “economically and epidemiologically self-defeating”.

“As long as the virus continues to circulate everywhere — anywhere — people will continue to die,” he said, warning “Trade and travel will continue to be disrupted and the economic recovery will be further delayed.”

“If countries won’t share vaccines for the right reasons, we appeal to do them to do it out of self-interest,” Tedros emphasised, promising that things will not return to normal anywhere as long as the virus remains a risk in poor countries.

Tedros previously suggested that coronavirus restrictions will continue even after a vaccine has been made widely available.

AstraZeneca Caught Lying About Covid Vaccine Trials

Motto: If you have a completely meaningless test (PCR), then all your data is meaningless.

Here’s from Reuters:

AstraZeneca’s repeated missteps in reporting vaccine data coupled with a blood clot scare could do lasting damage to the credibility of a shot that is the linchpin in the global strategy to stop the coronavirus pandemic, potentially even undermining vaccine confidence more broadly, experts say.

The latest stumble for the vaccine came Tuesday, when American officials issued an unusual statement expressing concern that AstraZeneca had included “outdated information” when it reported encouraging results from a U.S. trial a day earlier. That may have provided “an incomplete view of the efficacy data,” according to the statement.

AstraZeneca responded that the results, which showed its shot was about 79% effective, included information through Feb. 17 but appeared to be consistent with more up-to-date data. It promised an update within 48 hours.

Moreover: AstraZeneca accused of cherry-picking vaccine study data

So, what does it mean?

Wilfully misrepresented, or simply completely made up the data. Take a look at flu shot data sometime. After the year is over, the efficacy of the shot is usually found to be less than 25%. In some years it’s even less than 10%. That is after decades of research and production.

Do you really believe a brand new “vaccine” can be 90% effective or even 70%?

Remember, none of these vaccines are actually approved. They are under Emergency Use Authorization, and never went through even the most rudimentary efficacy and safety trials. They didn’t even test the things on animals.

We have now been under a declared state of emergency that is supposed to have a 30 day limit, for over a year. That is because without the declared state of emergency, none of the Covid measures and the vaccines could be administered.

The tests couldn’t be run, the lockdowns are still illegal, face diapers, and the rest of the nonsense.

There is no FDA certified Covid test and there is no certified vaccine. EUA is not certification.

There are no variants of SARS-CoV-2. There are however variants of the common cold being called variants of Covid. The EUA has also been administered under false pretences. It is only supposed to be used if there is absolute danger, where the unknown risk is less than the risk of the disease. A 99.6% survival rate, 99.97% under the age of 60, and a near 90% rate of asymptomatic cases does not warrant an EUA.

And then is the Pfizer mRNA extravaganza.

https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/astrazeneca-caught-lying-about-covid-vaccine-trials/

Wearing a mask, quarantining, social distancing, and getting the mRNA vaccine nearly GUARANTEES you’ll catch the next round of morphed COVID-19

From antibacterial everything to bacteria-trapping Covid masks, Americans are setting themselves up like bowling pins for the ultimate strike, and that comes in the form of more virulent strains of a warped and mutated Covid virus. The human body needs to come into contact with bad bacteria in order to establish immunity, but currently, most people are killing all bacteria everywhere, including their own good bacteria. Even the mRNA vaccine is a setup because it’s not natural immunity.

The wild, mutated, morphed and more adaptive virus strains will outsmart the vaccinated body, that’s severely compromised from social distancing, anti-bacterial products (that cause liver damage), bacteria-laden masks, and a newly mutated version of the genetically modified version of the old virus strain, that’s long gone already.

Notice NOBODY caught the “flu” this year? Abracadabra, it’s just magically gone!

There are no cases of the flu to be found anywhere now that the plandemic is in full gear. Remember when Natural News‘ investigative reporters exposed how the flu shot and routine vaccinations weaken the immune system, setting you up to more easily catch the flu and other viruses the following year? Now all is silent on the flu front. Crickets. Anybody with any flu like symptoms is immediately tested for Covid and fake positives almost guarantee you’re Wuhan positive.

Quarantining the healthy is about the dumbest tactic for fighting a pandemic that anyone could possibly come up with. This way, there’s no herd immunity whatsoever, and everybody is locked into their own little bacteria den, with no exposure to anything else, thus creating the ultimate Covid-magnet when they do go out.

False positives everywhere for your paranoia and hypochondriac fears

CDC Ignores Inquiry Into Increasing Number of Deaths, Injuries Reported After COVID Vaccines

VAERS data released today showed 38,444 reports of adverse events following COVID vaccines, including 1,739 deaths and 6,286 serious injuries since Dec. 14, 2020.

Data released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the number of injuries and deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) following COVID vaccines showed 38,444 reports of adverse events since Dec. 14, 2020.

On March 8, The Defender contacted the CDC with questions about how the agency is investigating reports of deaths and injuries after COVID vaccines. We provided a written list of questions asking the status of investigations on deaths reported in the media, if autopsies are being done, the standard for determining whether an injury is causally connected to a vaccine and the known issues with VAERS — namely whether healthcare providers are reporting all injuries and deaths that might be connected to the COVID vaccine, and what education initiatives are in place to encourage and facilitate proper and accurate reporting. We asked for a reply within two days.

As of today, 11 days later, the CDC has not answered our questions. Instead, when we call them, they respond saying, “they have received our email, they will escalate it and it is in the system.” When we asked if we could speak with the person reviewing the email, we were told that information could not be provided. When we emailed them to follow up, we received no response.

Every Friday, VAERS makes public all vaccine injury reports received by the system as of Friday of the previous week. The 38,444 adverse events reported between Dec. 14, 2020, and March 11 include 1,739 deaths and 6,286 serious injuries.

This week’s data included reports of 478 cases of Bell’s Palsy. Of those, 66% of cases were reported after Pfizer-BioNTech vaccinations — almost twice as many as reported (36%) following vaccination with the Moderna vaccine.

The first Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID vaccine was administered in the U.S. on March 2. As of March 11, nine anaphylactic reactions associated with J&J’s vaccine had been reported to VAERS. As The Defender reported earlier this month, the J&J vaccine contains polysorbate 80, known to trigger allergic reactions, The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines contain polyethylene glycol (PEG), also known to trigger anaphylactic reactions.

Senior U.S. Official Acknowledges Washington Has Spent $143 Billion to Destroy Its Own Government in Afghanistan

The U.S.-created and supported government of Afghanistan is on the brink of collapse. It has lost all credibility with its people because of its incompetence and unbelievable corruption. If U.S. military aid and the enormous inputs of international aid were to be withdrawn, the Taliban would be at the gates of Kabul and poised to take over the entire country in a matter of days.

Since President George W. Bush idiotically proclaimed the goal of creating a modern, progressive, pro-Western, stable, democratic state in Central Asia from scratch 20 years ago, the United States has poured $143 billion into Afghanistan reconstruction. And it has all been wasted.

Today, the biggest factor destroying the credibility of the Afghanistan government among its own people is not the attacks and military opposition of the insurgent Taliban: It is the U.S.-dominated and directed international aid which has totally undermined and discredited the very government it is supposed to support.

These elementary truths have been repeatedly pointed out by outspoken critics of the disastrous U.S. military misadventure in Afghanistan over the past two decades. I and many other contributors to this platform have repeatedly made them. But on March 10, they were all stated – clearly and unequivocally – by the most senior U.S. government official charged with monitoring the war effort in that unhappy Central Asian nation, Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) John Sopko himself.

On March 10, Sopko made these very points on the record in prepared remarks delivered at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, DC. He warned that U.S. and international aid is the biggest factor in wrecking it by generating uncontrolled corruption and making that stink in the eyes of the Afghan people.

“(I)nternational donors have, in their own self-interest, entered into a devil’s bargain with successive Afghan governments to provide enormous amounts of financial assistance that paradoxically may end up undermining the entire military and reconstruction effort,” Sopko stated.

“As SIGAR has long reported, foreign assistance has distorted the Afghan economy and exacerbated the corruption problem,” he said.

As a result, “Afghanistan’s endemic corruption provides oxygen to the insurgency and undermines the Afghan state,” Sopko warned.

Nor is this ghastly paradox a sudden or unexpected development, Sopko recalled.

Transgender high school swimmer who was barred from using the boy's locker room after he transitioned is awarded $300,000 in damages

Minnesota's largest school district will pay $300,000 to settle a discrimination lawsuit with a transgender student who was barred from using the boys' locker room.

Nick Himley swam for Coon Rapids High School after he transitioned to male during the 2015-16 school year when he was a 16-year-old freshman. It's not clear exactly when Himley transitioned.

Initially, he was allowed to use the boys' locker room in the first half of the year. But by February, the school board barred him from using it and told Himley he would be disciplined if he did so.

He was then forced to use a segregated locker room that no other students used, causing him mental anguish, his lawyer said.

Satan is smiling at this shit

Francis D. Shelden was a millionaire philanthropist who owned a island that trafficked kids like Epstien. AND YOU CAN'T FIND THIS INFORMATION ANYWHERE

I just found this information listening to a podcast with Jay Dyer and Tim Kelly talking about organized crime. Apparently their was this millionaire real estate and oil man named Francis D. Shelden who owned a island in Lake Michigan and is called North Fox Island. He bought North Fox Island and ran a boy's camp called Brother Paul's Children's Mission which was a front for making child pornography which was sold abroad on the international and national black market. He also was a big brother in the Ann Arbor YMCA's Big Brother program and found victims that way.

On businessinsider.com it says "Most Americans were in denial," Keenan told Business Insider. "Who would believe the abhorrent reality that children were being sexually abused for profit on such a mass scale?" The article goes into how a lot of wealthy players were involved in this operation.

The crazy thing is their is very little information on this man and this case. I googled searched it and found little to nothing. There isnt even a Wikipedia page on this man Francis Shelden very interesting and disturbing. Business insider is the only information I found about this man and this case. Most information about him and this island is SCRUBBED from the internet. https://www.businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstein-north-fox-island-francis-shelden-2019-8

Francis Sheldon was charged and convicted of this crime and disappeared. Apparently he was found dead in Amsterdam of unknown causes. They even did a autopsy and the cause of death is still unknown. Murdered by the cabal mafia and their advanced suicide weapons I would say.

Only other information I found on this guy Francis Sheldon is here. https://wikitia.com/wiki/Francis_Duffield_Shelden

Biden Signs Sweeping New Law Allowing VA to Vaccinate All Veterans, Spouses

President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed into law a sweeping new measure that supercharges the Department of Veterans Affairs' ability to vaccinate millions of Americans.

The Save Lives Act will allow the VA to vaccinate all veterans, veteran spouses, caregivers and Civilian Health and Medical Program recipients, regardless of their VA eligibility.

However, patients enrolled in VA care will get priority. About half of all 18 million living U.S. veterans are enrolled in VA care, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

"This new law expands options for where veterans and their families can receive the COVID-19 vaccine, ensuring that every veteran, spouse, and caregiver will have access to the protection they need from VA," Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., the chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee said in a statement. "This bipartisan bill follows through on our shared goal of getting more shots into the arms of as many veterans as possible."

As of Wednesday, the VA has fully vaccinated more than 1.5 million people, including veterans and employees. Previously, only veterans enrolled in VA could get vaccinated.

The bill's signing comes during a massive concerted effort from the Biden administration to give vaccine access to as many Americans as possible, with the goal of the country starting to return to relative normalcy by Independence Day.

"COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on all American including veterans and their families," Veterans of Foreign Wars National Legislative Director Pat Murray said in a statement. "The end may be near, but we will not come out of this until everybody possible has vaccinations."

Dubai deputy ruler Sheikh Hamdan dies

Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, Dubai's deputy ruler and for decades one of the most influential figures in international horseracing, has died, Reuters reported Dubai's ruler saying today.

Sheikh Hamdan, 75, was the brother of Dubai's current ruler, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum. He had been unwell for months and had surgery abroad in October.

Sheikh Hamdan established his first racing stable, Shadwell Racing, in the United Kingdom in the 1980s and built it into a racing empire with his horses in blue and white silks winning major international races. He owned eight stud farms worldwide, according to local media.

Last June, jockey Jim Crowley completed a treble on the opening day of Royal Ascot with Sheikh Hamdan's Battaash, Motakhayyel and Nazeer.

Dubai's ruler bid farewell to "my brother, my support, my lifelong friend."

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) de facto ruler, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, tweeted: "Today we lost one of the UAE's faithful men after a life rich with giving and true patriotic work."

Funeral prayers for Sheikh Hamdan, who was also the UAE's long-serving finance minister, will be restricted to family members due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dubai Media Office said.

Dubai announced ten days of mourning with flags to be flown at half-mast and a closure of government institutions in the emirate for three days as of tomorrow.

In 2008, Dubai's ruler established the line of succession in the emirate by naming his son Hamdan, 38, as crown prince. His other son Maktoum is also a deputy ruler of Dubai.

Iraq Requests New Talks With US Over Troop Withdrawal

There are currently about 2,500 US troops in Iraq

Iraqi officials told The Associated Press that Iraq sent a formal request to the Biden administration to set a date for talks on the withdrawal of US troops from the country.

Three anonymous Iraqi officials told AP that a memo requesting the talks was delivered to US Ambassador to Iraq Mathew Tueller earlier this month. The Iraqis requested the talks be held in April.

Confirming the report, the White House said on Tuesday that the US will be holding talks with Iraq in April, which will serve to “clarify” Washington’s role in the country. “The meetings will further clarify that coalition forces are in Iraq solely for the purpose of training and advising Iraqi forces to ensure that ISIS cannot reconstitute,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement that made no mention of a possible troop withdrawal.

Iraqi officials have been calling for a withdrawal of US forces since the January 2020 assassination of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani, who was killed by a US drone strike alongside Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, who headed the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF). In the aftermath of the assassinations, Iraq’s parliament voted unanimously to expel US troops.

The Trump administration held talks with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi last year and started drawing down troops, although the exact timetable on a full withdrawal was never clear. There are currently about 2,500 US troops in Iraq.

Part of the reason Trump started negotiations with Kadhimi was the frequent rocket attacks on US bases that stepped up after the killing of al-Muhandis and Soleimani. The PMF militias agreed to an unofficial truce with the US that hinged on an eventual full US withdrawal.

While there were occasional rocket attacks on US bases, the truce held relatively well, and there’s no way of knowing who the perpetrators of the rocket attacks were. All signs indicated the PMF was committed to the ceasefire, although the US is quick to blame Shia militias, like Kataib Hezbollah, under the umbrella of the PMF for any violence in Iraq.

Last month, President Biden bombed Kataib Hezbollah members in eastern Syria over rocket attacks that the group denied responsibility for. More attacks on US bases followed Biden’s airstrikes, but the PMF groups seem like they want to avoid further escalations. A report from Middle East Eye said Iraq’s militias told Kadhimi that they would not attack the US if the prime minister requested a full withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.

Canada slaps sanctions on nine Russian officials over Navalny

The sanctions list includes Russia’s FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration of Russia Sergei Kiriyenko, Director of the National Guard Viktor Zolotov, and other officials

OTTAWA, March 24. /TASS/. The Canadian government has introduced sanctions against nine Russian officials over the situation around blogger Alexey Navalny, a statement by the Canadian Foreign Minister Marc Garneau reads.

The sanctions list includes Russia’s FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration of Russia Sergei Kiriyenko, Director of the National Guard Viktor Zolotov, Chief of the Presidential Domestic Policy Directorate Andrei Yarin, Deputy Defense Ministers Alexei Krivoruchko and Pavel Popov, head of the Federal Penitentiary Service Alexander Kalashnikov and Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov, and Plenipotentiary Representative of the Russian President in the Siberian Federal District Sergei Menyailo.

The sanctions are "part of a concerted diplomatic effort to bring pressure on senior figures in Russia’s administration" in response to the incident with Alexey Navalny, the statement notes. "These actions are in line with measures previously taken by the European Union and the United States," the announcement says.

"Canada stands with the people of Russia in their quest to exercise their rights to freely express themselves and to gather peacefully without fearing reprisals. Canada will continue to work in a coordinated manner with allies and partners to prepare and implement effective and unified measures to condemn the worrying human rights trends in Russia," the statement stresses.

Navalny incident

Alexey Navalny was rushed to a local hospital in the Siberian city of Omsk on August 20, 2020 after collapsing on a Moscow-bound flight from Tomsk. He fell into a coma and was put on a ventilator in an intensive care unit. On August 22, he was airlifted to Berlin and admitted to the Charite hospital. On September 22, Navalny was discharged from the hospital.

On September 2, Berlin claimed that having examined Navalny’s test samples, German government toxicologists had concluded that the blogger had been affected by a toxic agent belonging to the Novichok family. According to Germany, these findings were confirmed by laboratories in France and Sweden.

Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier that Russia was ready for comprehensive cooperation with Germany. He pointed out that no poisonous substances had been detected in Navalny’s system prior to his transfer to Berlin.

Navalny was detained on his return to Moscow on January 17. On February 2, Moscow’s Simonovsky Court replaced Navalny’s three-and-a-half-year suspended sentence in the Yves Rocher case with real jail time due to multiple probation violations. On February 20, the Moscow City Court upheld this decision.

Entering Knesset, far-rightists want to legalize outposts, fight ‘LGBT agenda’

Religious Zionismwill be most extreme party in parliament in decades, with lawmakers who back expelling ‘disloyal’ Arabs and vow to ‘put the Torah first’

An alliance of three far-right, national religious parties is poised to enter the Knesset as one of the most extreme parties in decades after outperforming predictions in Tuesday’s election.

With nearly 90 percent of the vote counted, Religious Zionism has received six of the Knesset’s 120 seats. That figure could still climb to seven by the time the tally is concluded.

How was the alliance formed?

The slate is headed by National Union chairman Bezalel Smotrich, who first won infamy for organizing a so-called “Beast Parade,” to protest the gay pride march in Jerusalem in 2006. His slate split off from Naftali Bennett’s right-wing Yamina ahead of the election, purportedly due to Bennett’s insistence the party remain hyperfocused on addressing the pandemic. Insistent that national religious voters wanted a sectoral party that gave voice to a broad range of issues, Smotrich parted ways with Bennett and began veering hard to the right.

He vowed to “unite the national religious camp” and, until the last minute, refused to merge with the Kahanist Otzma Yehudit and anti-LGBT Noam parties, knowing that the move would scare away more moderate voters.

But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — determined to prevent the “wasting” of right-wing votes that could be used to boost parties willing to back him — placed immense pressure on Smotrich to form an extremist alliance that would be more likely to cross the electoral threshold. The premier freed up a spot on the Likud list for National Union MK Ofir Sofer and reportedly made additional commitments to Smotrich that included a number of promised senior positions in Netanyahu’s coalition if a government is formed.

Biden taps Harris to lead on immigration amid border crisis

This video file cannot be played.(Error Code: 203000)

President Biden has tapped Vice President Harris to lead the administration’s efforts to stem the flow of migrants seeking entry to the U.S. at the Southern border and to form partnerships with Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries aimed at addressing the root causes of illegal immigration.

Harris will spearhead the White House’s immigration portfolio so that Mexico and the Northern Triangle will know “there is one single figure dedicated to this effort,” a senior administration official said.

A White House official said Harris’s work will run along two tracks — first to address the swell of migrants at the Southern border, and second to build long-term partnerships with the Central American countries the migrants are fleeing.

“She’ll work first on the goal of stemming the flow of irregular migrants to the U.S…but at the same time, the real goal is to establish a strategic partnership with these countries based on respect and shared values,” the official said.

Harris’s appointment comes at a critical time for the Biden administration, which is struggling to handle the surge of migrant children seeking entry to the U.S.

The Biden administration is turning away many of the thousands of migrants that have made the dangerous journey from Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

But the U.S. under Biden is accepting unaccompanied minors, who have arrived in record numbers.

The U.S. is in custody of at least 15,000 migrant children and the Biden administration is struggling to provide housing and care for all of them.

Thousands are being kept at Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) cells meant for adults for days longer than is legally allowed. Photos of the CBP facilities show packed cells of migrant children sleeping in crowded pods on hard floors underneath space blankets.

The Biden administration is trying to quickly move the children out of CBP facilities and into housing overseen by Health and Human Services, where they have access to educational, health and legal services.

The administration has opened up several new facilities to handle the surge, including a tent city in Midland, Texas and a convention center in Dallas, to handle the overflow.

“The focus in the near term will be on stemming the flow of migrants to the U.S.,” the official said, a process that will include securing the border, providing a surge in humanitarian assistance, and creating legal pathways for migrants to come to the U.S.

Many migrants are fleeing Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries to escape economic instability violence, corruption, and extreme weather events.

The administration official said the longer term goal will be to address the underlying conditions in those countries by combating corruption, enforcing border security, implementing good governance practices, overseeing diplomatic efforts, and other long term strategies that “get at the root causes of migration.”

“It will take time,” the senior administration official said. “The vice president gets that, and the president gets that.”

You Just Can’t Make This Up: Democrats Argue Removing Dead People from Voter Rolls Is “Voter Suppression”

It’s a reliable voting block.

On Tuesday Democrats held a hearing on the election transformation bill HR1 that will ensure the party that cheats will never lose another election.

Democrats LOVE this package of criminal behavior that makes it possible for anyone to in the United States or vote a hundred times.

According to PJ Media the bill is full of all sorts of wild federal mandates – bans on voter ID laws, prohibitions on cleaning voter rolls, requirements to accept late mail ballots and over 700 more pages of other commands that will lead to election chaos like we had in 2020.

During the hearing on Wednesday one of the Democrat witnesses argued that removing dead people from the voter rolls is “voter suppression.”

He actually said this! The dead people may actually feel suppressed of their right to vote!

Judicial Watch Lawsuit: 2,400 Illegal Alien Criminals Released under San Francisco Sheriff’s Office Sanctuary Policy

(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced today its taxpayer lawsuit against the San Francisco Sheriff’s sanctuary policy uncovered that over 2,400 criminal illegal aliens were released under the department’s policy on communications with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) about criminal illegal aliens in the Sheriff’s custody. (Cynthia Cerletti v. Vicki Hennessy, Sheriff (No. CGC-16-556164)). A court hearing in the court challenge is scheduled for April 5.

Judicial Watch notes in a recent court filing the Sheriff’s office’s policy, “is so effective in regulating immigration and obstructing Congress’ purposes under federal immigration law that, in over 2,401 known instances, it has never resulted in ICE taking into custody a single alien, not even aliens with significant criminal backgrounds wanted for removal.

This is the latest action in the December 2016 lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch on behalf of California taxpayer Cynthia Cerletti. The lawsuit argues that the Sheriff Department’s restrictions on communications with ICE conflict with federal immigration law and attempt to regulate immigration and are therefore invalid.

Judicial Watch’s recent filing includes expert testimony that details specific examples of egregious criminal behavior of illegal aliens that the Sheriff’s office had in custody who were released without consultation with ICE:

A citizen of Cuba faced charges for burglary and a parole violation, with a prior burglary conviction.

A citizen of Vietnam faced charges for robbery, battery, and assault.

A citizen of Ethiopia was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, assault on a peace officer, receiving stolen property, a parole violation, and had prior convictions for stolen property crimes.

Kamala Harris to hold discussion with Bill Clinton on 'empowering women and girls,' igniting criticism

'Is this a … joke?' asked Juanita Broaddrick

Vice President Kamala Harris will hold a joint discussion on "empowering women and girls" with former President Bill Clinton, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women.

The Clinton Foundation announced on Tuesday that the discussion would take place as part of a virtual event with college students from around the world on Friday. Besides Harris, other speakers will include Mayor Muriel Bowser, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, her daughter Chelsea and Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams.

The foundation described the talk as: "A one-on-one conversation with President Clinton and Vice President Kamala Harris on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women, and empowering women and girls in the U.S. and around the world."

The Howard University-hosted talk raised questions about past accusations against Clinton, as well as Harris' previous advocacy surrounding #MeToo and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. One of those women, Juanita Broaddrick, who accused Clinton of rape, balked at the scheduled event.

"Is this a f-g joke?" she asked in one tweet. "This pervert …….. who raped me." In another, she asked if Howard University would like to include her in the talk and included a photo of her book cover reiterating her accusation of rape.
