“COWARDS! New Board! New Board!” – Scottsdale Unified School District Board Shouted Out of the Building Over COVID Restrictions

Local Arizona patriot, Ka’rin Royster attended The Scottsdale Unified School District Board Meeting on Tuesday night where cowardly board members abandoned their post.

Ka’rin arrived on the scene at 5:15 PM for the 6 PM meeting and there was already a line of angry parents out the door. About 100 or more people attended this hearing.

Most of the parents were not wearing masks and the school board ordered them to put masks on before the meeting began. Parents refused to comply and they argued with the board for about 20 minutes.

The board said that if one refuses to comply, they will be escorted out of the building. The parents stood their ground causing the board to adjourn the meeting and abandon their post.

That’s when the parents started chanting, “COWARDS!” and “New Board!… New Board…” The school board was then escorted out of the room by 4 police officers.

Instead of facing the taxpayers who demand answers, the board just left the room.

Who do they really answer to?

It’s obviously not their constituents.

UPDATE– Danny Schayes sent more information on the meeting last night. The school board was pushing Critical Race Theory in the Scottsdale school system.

Leisa B. wanted me to forward this to you. Hopefully, you will be able to open it. As she mentioned, my wife Wendy is an Olympian and National Champion springboard diver. She is also a very concerned parent and patriot as is Leisa.

The video clearly shows the school board person shutting down the meeting using the lame excuse of attendees not wearing masks. The meeting was to discuss teaching Critical Race Theory in the Scottsdale school system. Many parents were incensed as you can see. I am also attaching the flyer that was handed out by the parents’ group led by Amy Carney, whose husband Keith was a long-time NHL hockey player.

Steve Bannon had a different video on the War Room broadcast sent by another parent but this one shows the events much more clearly. You can use this however you like or share if needed.

Biden Condemns Erdogan's Gaza Tirade As "Anti-Semitic" & "Reprehensible"

On Monday Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave a fiery speech to supporters which blasted Biden's "inaction" over the Gaza crisis, addressing Joe Biden to specifically say the US president has "blood on his hands". He was further reacting to the recent reports that Biden approved a $735 million dollar weapons sale from the United States to Israel, essentially accusing the US of supporting genocide against the Palestinians. Erdogan had also lashed out at Europe, accusing Austria in particular trying to make Muslims "pay the price of their own genocide against the Jews" - after an Israeli flag was seen flying over a federal building.

In response the State Department has come out swinging, condemning "Erdogan's recent anti-Semitic comments regarding the Jewish people" which the US finds "reprehensible," according to State Department spokesman Ned Price on Tuesday.

Some of Erdogan's rhetoric had included the following: "They are murderers, to the point that they kill children who are five or six years old. They only are satisfied by sucking their blood," the Turkish president had stated earlier, AFP reported.

35 House Republicans Vote for Bill to Establish January 6 Commission

Thirty-five House Republicans voted Wednesday to establish a commission to investigate the riots and protests on January 6.

The House passed H.R. 3233, the National Commission to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol Complex Act, with 252 votes in favor and 175 votes against the bill.

While the bill featured strong Democrat support, the legislation also had surprisingly strong support from House Republicans.

Thirty-five House Republicans voted for the legislation, even though House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) came out against the bill. He criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for not negotiating in good faith.

The 35 House Republicans who voted for the bill reportedly include:

Tom Rice (R-SC)

Dan Newhouse (R-WA)

Cliff Bentz (R-OR)

Tom Reed (R-NY)

Peter Meijer (R-MI)

Adam Kinzinger (R-IL)

John Katko (R-NY)

Dusty Johnson (R-SD)

Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)

Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH)

Jamie Herrera Beutler (R-WA)

Chris Jacobs (R-NY)

Steve Womack (R-AR)

Stephanie Bice (R-OK)

Andrew Garbarino (R-NY)

Liz Cheney (R-WY)

David Valadao (R-CA)

Chris Smith (R-NJ)

Fred Upton (R-MI)

Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA)

Rodney Davis (R-IL)

Don Bacon (R-NE)

Van Taylor (R-TX)

Tony Gonzalez (R-TX)

Mike Simpson (R-ID)

Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL)

John Curtis (R-UT)

Michael Guest (R-MS)

French Hill (R-AR)

David Joyce (R-OH)

David McKinley (R-WV)

Barry Moore (R-AL)

Trey Hollingsworth (R-IN)

Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE)

Carlos Giminez (R-FL)

The ten House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump also voted for the commission to investigate the riots on January 6.

The 35 House Republicans run counter to some House Republicans, such as Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), who contended on the House floor before the vote that many committees already have the ability to investigate the incidents on January 6.

Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) said in a statement after the vote that Pelosi hopes the commission distracts from the Democrats’ many crises.

He said, “This partisan legislation was designed to distract the American people from the unprecedented crisis at our border, Joe Biden’s wasteful tax-and-spend policies, and the fact Democrats would rather defend radical Islamic terrorists in Palestine than support our allies in Israel.”

The ‘New Soros’: Marlow Media Exposé Reveals Immense Secret Power of Tech Heiress Laurene Powell Jobs

Laurene Powell Jobs, whom Vox describes as “one of the world’s most important philanthropists,” is the widow of Apple founder and billionaire computer guru Steve Jobs. She has become a secret superpower behind a vast network of left-wing media outlets, organizations, and politicians. Forbes lists Jobs as one of the ten richest women on earth, with a net worth of around $16 billion, mostly from her family stakes in two of the world’s biggest companies: Apple and Disney.

I investigated Jobs’ growing influence in my new book, Breaking the New: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruptions, which exposes the hidden connections between the establishment media and the activist left.

If there’s a well-known persona comparable to Laurene Powell Jobs, it’s Hungarian billionaire George Soros. Soros is branded a “philanthropist,” but he also functions as a one-man piggy bank for the globalist far-left. Much like Soros’ Open Society Foundations, the main vehicle for Jobs’ influence is Emerson Collective (EC), the philanthropic outfit she founded and leads. The Emerson Collective, according to Forbes, is “a hybrid philanthropic and investing limited liability company.” That’s a pretty murky description, which appears to allow them to engage in business and charity without ever being terribly explicit about which is which. I’m not sure which of the two categories it falls under, but EC also happens to own the Atlantic.

Inside Philanthropy named Jobs 2019’s “Least Transparent Mega-giver.”

EC functions primarily as a private business owned by Jobs’s personal trust. This shields it from IRS disclosure rules and allows it to more freely engage in political activity.

It’s sly and devious, but considering how many media outlets are aligned with Jobs either financially or ideologically, it’s no surprise that little reporting has been done on these connections.

After all, if you’re in media, she might be your boss one day. Maybe she already is.

The Atlantic published what is perhaps the single fakest fake news story of the 2020 election. On September 3, 2020, editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg posted an article with the bombshell headline “Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers.’” The piece alleged that Donald Trump, while in France to commemorate American Marines who died in World War II, denigrated American soldiers who died in combat.

Both shitbags trying to throw each other under the bus to foment Albert Pike's wet dream

On The January 2017 Felony Flynn Leaks

Back on January 5, 2017, who leaked intelligence about Russia’s purported efforts to interfere in the 2016 election – and info on the Flynn-Kislyak calls – to the Washington Post?

One high level official at the Office of the Director of National had a guess:

“my bet is either the WH or SCCI Dem source on the Hill.”

Those were the words of Brian Hale, the Director of Public Affairs for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, in response to a question of January 5, 2017 leaks to Washington Post reporters Adam Entous and Greg Miller.

James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence at the time, was copied on that email. (See below; SCCI = U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.)

Background

This is the article in question, which discusses the presentation of classified documents to President Obama on January 5, 2017 and goes further than the DNI and DHS assessment that “only Russia’s senior-most officials could have authorized” the “cyber operations to disrupt the U.S. election.”

The U.S. officials cited by Entous and Miller went further, stating that Russia’s actions were aimed at installing Trump as President.

The Flynn/Kislyak Calls

In the last couple years we have done our part in trying to track down the source of the Flynn-Kislyak leak. If you recall, incoming National Security Advisor Lt. General Michael Flynn spoke with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in December 2016 on a number of issues, including UN votes, the Middle East, and Flynn’s request that Moscow only make their response to US expulsions “reciprocal.” Read the transcripts here.

It was long-thought that the initial leak of the Flynn-Kislyak call was to Washington Post columnist David Ignatius. He was, after all, the author of the January 12, 2017 story which first discussed the calls and whether Flynn violated the spirit of the Logan Act.

This assumption was mistaken.

We were the first to report, however, that the initial leak of the Flynn-Kislyak call wasn’t to Ignatius. It was, instead, to Washington Post reporter Adam Entous. We were informed that these sources actually saw the Flynn-Kislyak transcripts, leaving a small pool of potential suspects.

George Floyd’s Family Contributes To Chinese State-Run Media’s Documentary Pushing To Defund Police.

Relatives of George Floyd have repeatedly contributed to Chinese Communist Party-run media programs pushing for defunding police in the U.S.

Floyd’s aunt, Angela Harrelson, appeared on a China Global Television Network (CGTN) documentary “Police Brutality Victims Call For Police Reform” following an exclusive interview with the outlet in July 2020. A registered foreign agent in the U.S., the network is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, airs forced confessions, and actively spreads propaganda to discredit credible accusations of genocide in the country’s Xinjiang province.

“First thing I did was yell Perry because it’s like where am I at, what am I seeing? And then everything came together, and I heard those words “mama, mama.” I just dropped,” Harrelson recounted in one of the documentary’s opening scenes. “I believe, like, a modern-day lynching just took place. That’s how I felt, like it was a modern-day lynching,” she expressed before adding that she felt “like the Fugitive Slave Act is in place when it comes to police.”

“I feel like they think that it’s still going on, that when they see black and brown people, they’re going after a runaway slave,” she added. Harrelson also appeared to express support for defunding the police in the U.S., commenting “We just need to start over, clean house, and get new people with a new vision.”

The documentary featuring Harrelson also included an exclusive interview with Justin Blake, the uncle of Jacob Blake, who was shot while carrying a knife during an interaction with police in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

“People are fed up, and if it can happen to little Jake and it can happen to Mr. Floyd and it can happen to Breonna Taylor, then it can happen to you. And that’s what people keep telling us,” the uncle told the CGTN interviewer.

Justin Blake also calls for defunding the police in the interview:

“They continue to want more money to build a bigger machine to jail more of our people? Stop it. It’s 2021. We’re not going for it. You’re dealing with an educated, mature crowd of people, and we know that if we bring that money to the community, educate the littlest people, employ some of the older people, and do some initiatives, the number of policing would decrease dramatically. We know that. […] When you’re talking about defunding the police, yeah. Take a chunk out of their money to give to the community you’re over-policing.”

The documentary, released May 17th, 2021, also includes interviews with other relatives of individuals shot by police, including the daughter of Lionel Lewis who asserts “I believe that the police should be defunded.”

CONFIRMED: Arizona Auditors Recover 2020 Election Databases Deleted Only Days Before Audit Began

"To confirm: the 'Databases' directory on the EMS Primary Server WAS deleted containing the voting databases"

Forensic analysis firm CyFIR’s founder confirmed this week that the primary database for the the Maricopa County presidential election, which had been deleted at some point, has successfully been recovered and is now undergoing data continuity checks to ensure that the data is useful.

Though Democrat officials have insisted that the Database directory on the primary EMS server has not been deleted, and that claims as such were right-wing conspiracies, CyFIR’s Ben Cotton confirmed during a special hearing on Wednesday that the database had in fact been deleted. The recovery of the database initially spawned false proclamations from left-wing media that the data had never been deleted in the first place.

“Maricopa County did not delete files when preparing the subpoenaed SQL server for delivery,” the Maricopa County Election Board insisted in a lengthy tweet thread accompanied by verbose graphics on Wednesday. However, a statement from Cottton swiftly debunked false information from left-wing media.

“Statement from Ben Cotton of Cyfir: My testimony on May 19th before the AZ Senate is being taken out of context by some media outlets. To confirm: the ‘Databases’ directory on the EMS Primary Server WAS deleted containing the voting databases,” the statement read. “I was able to recover the deleted databases through forensic data recovery processes. We are performing data continuity checks to ensure that the recovered databases are usable.”

As National File previously reported, officials have confirmed that a massive breach of voter data in Maricopa County prior to the presidential election, where Democrat Joe Biden took the county by a narrow margin:

Arizona Republican party chair Kelli Ward stated on Thursday that Maricopa County recorder Stephen Richer learned of a significant “breach of voter identification information” last year, a breach that is currently being investigated by law enforcement officials. In November 2020, federal agents raided a home in Maricopa County looking for stolen voter data after the Maricopa County Recorder’s office confirmed that voter data had been stolen.

“Beyond the actual recounting of each and every ballot, there is new information coming to light each and every day, as to how poorly the election in November was supervised in Maricopa County and in Arizona,” Ward continued. “Election officials say they didn’t have access to passwords that are critical, critical equipment, but outside vendors like Dominion did. Routers weren’t secure and may have been used to allow access to a network of county offices. And now Maricopa County recorder Stephen Richer has revealed in a letter to voters that he learned, prior to his term, a breach of voter identification information occurred last election cycle and is now being investigated by law enforcement.”

On November 5, 2020, the FBI raided the home of an IT expert named Elliot Kerwin after a cyberattack that resulted in the theft of Maricopa County voter data was reported by the county Recorder’s office. According to Forbes, the agents confiscated “eight hard drives, three computers and a bag of USB sticks. ”

Pennsylvania Voters Opt to Strip Gov. Wolf of Emergency Powers

Pennsylvania voters opted to strip Gov. Tom Wolf (D) of his emergency powers, according to unofficial results of the state’s May 18 municipal primary elections, several outlets reported on Wednesday.

Pennsylvania voters faced a handful of statewide questions on their ballot for the municipal primary elections, which were held May 18. Two of the questions related directly to the governor’s emergency powers. One asked if the state constitution should be amended to:

…change existing law and increase the power of the General Assembly to unilaterally terminate or extend a disaster emergency declaration — and the powers of Commonwealth agencies to address the disaster regardless of its severity pursuant to that declaration — through passing a concurrent resolution by simple majority, thereby removing the existing check and balance of presenting a resolution to the Governor for approval or disapproval.

The other question asked voters if the state constitution should be amended to make disaster emergency declarations automatically expire after three weeks, or 21 days, “regardless of the severity of the emergency, unless the General Assembly takes action to extend the disaster emergency.”

Several media outlets, including the Philadelphia Inquirer, reported that Pennsylvania voters approved the two ballot measures, describing it as a “victory for Republican lawmakers in what was widely seen as a referendum on the Wolf administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.”

According to the Morning Call, Wednesday morning figures showed voters leaning toward altering the governor’s emergency powers “with margins of nearly 54% to 46% on both questions”:

About 8:15 a.m. Wednesday, unofficial, incomplete returns on the state website had voting on the first question — the one concerning ending or extending a declaration — at 1,031,128 voting “yes” and 892,093 voting “no,” or a margin of 53.61% to 46.39%.

The voting on the other question was 1,039,897 yes votes to 900,920 no votes, a margin of 53.58% to 46.42%.

According to Philadelphia 10, the questions continued to lead with nearly 54 percent of the vote and 73 percent of precincts reporting:

Mexico’s President AMLO Accuses US State Department of “Promoting Coup-Plotters”

Mexico’s president recently accused the United States of interfering with the country’s internal affairs. Is there truth to these claims?

On May 7, Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador accused the United States of interfering with the nation’s internal politics. López Obrador, alternatively known as AMLO, made the statements prior to a virtual meeting with US vice-president Kamala Harris. The claims were not mentioned during the meeting between Obrador and Harris.

The Guardian reported:

“Speaking at his morning press conference on Friday, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador called it “reprehensible” that the US government would fund a prominent anti-corruption group and the press freedom organization Article 19, whose work was cited in the state department’s annual human rights report on Mexico.

“It’s interference, it’s interventionism, it’s promoting coup-plotters,” said López Obrador, who announced that Mexico had filed a formal protest with the US embassy.”

AMLO also sent a “diplomatic note” accusing the United States of attempting to undermine his government by funding the organization Mexicanos Contra La Corrupcion y La Impunidad (Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity). The note calls on the US embassy to confirm if MCCI is receiving support from the US Agency for International Development (USAID). AMLO said the US should suspend any funding for MCCI.

“The financing of [this] group by the US government, is an act of interventionism, which violates our sovereignty,” AMLO said. “That’s why we’re asking for them to clarify this, because it’s a foreign government.”

Claudio X González, founder of MCCI, tweeted that its work was “legal” and that AMLO’s criticism showed a “serious misunderstanding” of international cooperation.

While The Guardian accused AMLO of “repeatedly” using “conspiratorial language to describe the work of civil society organizations”, the outlet made no effort to verify the claims made by AMLO. Let’s take a moment to determine whether the accusations have any merit.

CDC deputy director resigns after emails reveal teachers’ union lobbied to keep schools closed

The teachers’ union pressured the CDC to amend its public health guidance on how and when schools should reopen, basing the policy on politics rather than on COVID science.

ATLANTA, May 19, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Communications unearthed in early May between the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) show that the second biggest teachers’ union in the country lobbied the CDC to have school reopening delayed. Weeks later, CDC top brass resign.

Emails obtained by the New York Post confirm correspondence between the two organizations, with the AFT pressuring the CDC to amend its public health guidance on how and when schools should reopen, basing the policy on politics rather than on science and statistics.

Corey A. DeAngelis, senior fellow at the libertarian think tank Reason Foundation, told Fox Business that the discovery “really confirms what we knew all along, that the whole school reopening debate has been more to do with political partisanship and power dynamics than safety and the needs of families.” DeAngelis pointed to the findings of his March study, “Are School Reopening Decisions Related to Union Influence?”

DeAngelis found that “there was no statistically significant relationship between the reopening decisions and the risk of the virus in the area.” Ultimately, his study concluded that “school closures are uncorrelated with the actual incidence of the virus, but are rather strongly associated with unionization.” This implies that “the decision to close schools has been a political — not scientific — decision,” he said.

According to the Post, the CDC were on the cusp of introducing instructions for schools to reopen for regular tuition. Emails from AFT senior advisor for health issues Kelly Trautner, obtained through a freedom of information request by conservative watchdog Americans for Public Trust, show the powerful teachers’ union thanking CDC Director Rochelle Walensky for her “genuine desire to earn our [AFT] confidence and your commitment to partnership” on February 3.

Trautner confirmed that the AFT was able “to review a copy of the draft guidance document over the weekend [before February 1] and … to provide some initial feedback to several staff this morning about possible ways to strengthen the document.”

“We believe our experiences on the ground can inform and enrich thinking around what is practicable and prudent in future guidance documents,” she wrote, adding further thanks “for Friday’s rich discussion about forthcoming CDC guidance and for your openness to the suggestions made by our president, Randi Weingarten, and the AFT.” Walensky, though not copied into the February 1 email, was forwarded the correspondence by White House coronavirus testing coordinator Carol Johnson.

WOW! Biden Caught Fake Driving — Someone Else Is Steering Vehicle — It Was All a Stunt! — VIDEO and PICS

78-year-old Joe Biden traveled to Dearborn, Michigan on Tuesday to visit the Ford Rouge Electric Vehicle Center.

Biden promoted his highly unpopular $2 trillion infrastructure bill that has nothing to do with the infrastructure that includes $174 billion to develop electric vehicles.

At one point Joe Biden repeated the lie that his “great grandpop” was a coal miner.

Biden also tripped over his tongue and jumbled his words.

Following his speech, the declining septuagenarian was put in an electric vehicle where he pretended to be driving.

This was all a show by his handlers to make Joe Biden look like he’s in charge.

Here is the interior of an electric Ford F-150 Pickup Truck.

House Intel Republicans say 'significant circumstantial evidence' of COVID Wuhan lab leak

A panel report notes investigations into the origins of the virus have been 'stymied by a lack of cooperation' from China

Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee say there is "significant circumstantial evidence" that the COVID-19 outbreak stemmed from a leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, urging the federal government to put "more pressure on China" to allow for a "full, credible investigation" into the source of the global pandemic.

Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and Republicans on the panel released a report Wednesday, first obtained by Fox News, saying it is "crucial for health experts and the U.S. government to understand how the COVID-19 virus originated" to prevent "or quickly mitigate future pandemics."

"International efforts to discover the true source of the virus, however, have been stymied by a lack of cooperation from the People’s Republic of China," Republicans wrote. "Nevertheless, significant circumstantial evidence raises serious concerns that the COVID-19 outbreak may have been a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology."

Republicans pointed to China’s "history of research lab leaks resulting in infections," and warnings from U.S. diplomats in China as early as 2017 that the Wuhan lab was conducting "dangerous research" on coronaviruses without following "necessary safety protocols, risking the accidental outbreak of a pandemic."

Republicans also pointed to public reports that "several researchers in the Wuhan lab were sickened with COVID-19-like symptoms" in Fall 2019, and the Chinese military’s "involvement in the Wuhan Lab."

"By contrast, little circumstantial evidence has emerged to support the PRC’s claim that COVID-19 was a natural occurrence, having jumped from some other species to human," they wrote, saying Chinese authorities "have failed to identify the original species that allegedly spread the virus to humans, which is critical to their zoonotic transfer theory."

House GOP report: Likely U.S. engaged in ‘dangerous’ research in China, COVID escaped lab

Nunes cites "overwhelming circumstantial evidence" of lab leak, asks U.S. intel to reveal what it knew, and when.

House Intelligence Committee Republicans reported Wednesday evening they believe the U.S. government has engaged in "dangerous scientific research with China" that lends increasing credibility to the theory that COVID-19 may have accidentally leaked from a lab in Wuhan as early as October 2019.

Led by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the committee's ranking member, Republicans on the panel issued a 21-page report laying out "overwhelming" open-source evidence supporting the theory that the coronavirus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), including:

A U.S. State Department memo from January revealing that "several researchers at the Wuhan lab were sickened with COVID-19-like symptoms in fall 2019."

Media reports that there was no cell phone activity inside the WIV between Oct. 7, 2019 and Oct. 24, 2019, suggesting a possible shutdown or blackout at the facility.

Warnings from U.S. diplomats in China in 2017 that the Wuhan lab was "conducting dangerous research on coronaviruses without following necessary safety protocols, risking the accidental outbreak of a pandemic."

A recent scientific study concluding that COVID-19 has "several characteristics that, when taken together, are not easily explained by a natural zoonotic origin hypothesis."

China has a history of viral leaks from its research labs, including one in 2004 in Beijing tied to an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, an earlier coronavirus known as SARs.

"Significant circumstantial evidence raises serious concerns that the COVID19 outbreak may have been a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology," the GOP report stated, adding it was "crucial for health experts and the U.S. Government to understand how the COVID-19 virus originated."
