Macron to Joe Biden: “What We Need is Cooperation – I Think It’s Great to Have a US President Who is Part of the Club” – Biden Nods in Agreement

Joe Biden sat down with French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday at the G7 summit in Cornwall, England.

Emmanuel Macron clearly had the upper hand in the conversation and demanded cooperation from the United States.

In a sign of weakness, Joe Biden nodded in agreement as Macron told him the US’s role in world.

“What we need is cooperation. I think it’s great to have a US President who is part of the club and you are willing to cooperate and I think what you demonstrated is that leadership is partnership,” Macron said as Biden nodded in agreement.

On Friday, Joe Biden’s message to the world was: “America last.”

Biden shuffled in the back of the pack as G7 leaders took a photo with Queen Elizabeth.

Michigan Supreme Court Deals Blow to Crooks and Cheaters – Rules in Favor of Pathway to Repeal Whitmer’s Emergency Powers of Governor Act

Cheating at the TCF Center in Detroit and State Farm Center in Atlanta.

The Michigan Supreme Court dealt a blow to the lawless Democrat leadership in the state.

The court ruled in favor of a pathway to repeal Governor Whitmer’s emergency power grab from 2020 that allowed Democrats to use any measure possible to cheat legal voters in the state.

Freep.com reported:

The Board of State Canvassers must certify a voter initiative to repeal the Emergency Powers of Governor Act, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled in a Friday order.

That means that once the board acts on the court’s order, the Republican-controlled Legislature can repeal the law with majority votes in each chamber, and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer will be unable to veto the measure.

The order gave no breakdown on what position each justice took on the question, but there was no dissent accompanying the order, suggesting the decision was unanimous.

“The court has it exactly right — the Board of State Canvassers had a clear legal duty to certify what was obvious, that we had collected far more signatures than required,” said Fred Wszolek, a spokesman for Unlock Michigan, the group behind the petition drive.

Moscow mayor orders week of paid leave for workers & imposes curfew on nightlife in bid to control sharp rise in Covid-19 cases

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin has announced a set of new measures aimed at countering a “sharply deteriorating” coronavirus situation in the Russian capital. They include a week of paid leave for workers and a nightlife curfew.

Russia has reported 13,510 new Covid-19 cases over the past 24 hours, with most of them occurring in Moscow, medical authorities said on Saturday. A total of 6,701 positive tests were recorded in Europe’s largest city, which is the highest daily number since January.

Several hours after those figures were made public, Sobyanin said workers in Moscow will get a week of paid leave in order to break the alarming trend. This means that the so-called “long weekend” is going to last from June 12 to June 20 in the capital.

The extra days off “will only allow us to cope with the rise in infections if every one of us will exercise maximum caution. And, of course, we need to vaccinate more actively to protect our loved ones and ourselves,” Sobyanin pointed out, adding that all vaccination centers will remain operational in the city.

He also recommended that employers send 30% of their staff to work from home, including all those older than 65 and anyone suffering from a chronic disease.

Throughout the next week, restaurants, bars and nightclubs will be barred from accepting guests between 11pm and 6am, with only takeaway and food deliveries to be allowed during those hours, according to the mayor’s order.

Moscow’s largest parks will also turn their amusement rides off and close children’s playgrounds and other entertainment venues as part of the restrictions.

Austin Mass Shooting Leaves 13 Hospitalized - Gunman Still At Large

update(1:54pm): Police have reportedly narrowed their search down to two suspects as the manhunt continues. According to the Austin American-Statesman:

Authorities have zeroed in on two suspects involved in the overnight mass shooting that left at least 13 people wounded, law enforcement sources confirmed to the Statesman and KVUE-TV.

Investigators were working shortly after noon to confirm their identities and get them into custody, the sources said.

Police on Saturday morning are still searching for the shooter or shooters who opened fire on a crowd along 6th Street at about 1:30am, which is the popular central avenue filled with bars and restaurants that turns to foot traffic only during weekends.

At least 13 were hospitalized, with two said to be in critical conduction, amid the chaotic scene which appeared "random" and with few concrete details in terms of what happened and who was behind the attack.

Social justice crusader ACLU told black staff to ‘keep quiet’ about ‘systemic racism’ in organization – lawsuit

A former employee is taking the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to court, claiming that the nonprofit civil rights group retaliated against him for complaining that there weren’t enough black people in leadership positions.

Robert Jackson, who worked as an associate director for the ACLU, alleges that he was demoted and eventually sacked for highlighting the lack of minorities in the organization’s senior ranks and proposing ways to increase diversity.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in New York District Court, Jackson said that the ACLU’s social justice advocacy falls short when concerning internal matters.

“Despite the good the ACLU has done for the black community outside of its walls, it appears that the scope of its stated mission starts and ends there,” the legal complaint states.

The lawsuit demands compensation for economic damages resulting from his termination and asks the ACLU to cover legal fees related to the case.

Jackson’s dispute with the group began in December 2009, after he objected to Kary Moss, the ACLU’s director, posing for a photo with former US attorney general Jeff Sessions during a company conference held in Montgomery, Alabama. The event focused on ways that the ACLU could help the black community, and Jackson felt that the photograph was inappropriate because Sessions had backed policies that had “targeted” black Americans.

In an effort to air his concerns, Jackson and several of his colleagues gave a speech at the conference which pointed to the dearth of black leadership. They offered recommendations on how to address the alleged disparity, suggesting a policy that would focus on black candidates when filling senior positions. Jackson and his cohorts also called for a program to help black employees already in the organization to climb the corporate ladder.

However, the proposals were apparently met with disapproval by Jackson’s superiors. Given the ACLU’s track record when it comes to battling discrimination, Jackson assumed that the organization would support his ideas. Instead, he was instructed by his supervisor, Chief Analytics Officer Lucia Tian, to “‘keep quiet’ and to be ‘the cooler head in the room’,” the lawsuit claims.

He alleges that he was increasingly marginalized in the months that followed, and was eventually demoted, resulting in his salary being cut almost in half. In May 2020, he was offered a severance package of one month’s pay if he resigned, on the condition that he signed a non-disclosure agreement. He was fired three months later after refusing the offer. His treatment illustrates how “complaints about systemic racism within the ACLU itself are not welcome, nor are the people who speak out,” Jackson’s complaint reads.

Putin Reveals Personal Thoughts On Trump & Biden In Rare NBC Interview

https://youtu.be/oh_obIUJ7HA

Russian President Vladimir Putin this week sat down for an interview with a US media outlet for the first time in nearly three years. NBC's Keir Simmons talked to Putin for about 90 minutes, and released a teaser segment Friday night.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the conversation centered on the Russian leader's perspective on American politics and his personal thoughts and comparison of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Putin called the former president "extraordinary" and "talented" while noting that Biden is "radically different" and is a quintessential "career man" in politics.

"Well even now, I believe that former U.S. president Mr. Trump is an extraordinary individual, talented individual, otherwise he would not have become U.S. President," Putin told Simmons.

"He is a colorful individual. You may like him or not. And, but he didn't come from the US establishment, he had not been part of big time politics before, and some like it some don’t like it but that is a fact."

In contrast, he said of President Biden:

"…President Biden is a career man. He has spent virtually his entire adulthood in politics," Putin said in part.

"That's a different kind of person, and it is my great hope that yes, there are some advantages, some disadvantages, but there will not be any impulse-based movements, on behalf of the sitting U.S. president."

Also interesting is Putin's response to the March George Stephanopoulos interview with Biden wherein the US President dubbed Putin a "killer" with "no soul". Putin responded in this new NBC clip:

"Over my tenure, I've gotten used to attacks from all kinds of angles and from all kinds of areas under all kinds of pretext, and reasons and of different caliber and fierceness and none of it surprises me."

Putin called the "killer" label "Hollywood macho."

Putin also took aim at a recent Washington Post report over Russia-Iranian military relations and the transfer of advanced satellite systems. "It’s just fake news," Putin dismissed. "At the very least, I don’t know anything about this kind of thing. Those who are speaking about it probably will maybe know more about it. It’s just nonsense, garbage."

NBC is set to release the full interview footage on Monday, just ahead of Biden and Putin's much anticipated June 16 meeting in Geneva. Both sides have said they don't expect any "breakthroughs" in Geneva.

8 BOXES REMAIN – Hand Recount Nearly FINISHED – HUGE Discrepancies Expected – NO BALLOTS = NO VICTORY

The awe-inspiring full forensic audit of Maricopa County’s 2020 election will resume at 8 AM MST with only 8 ballot boxes remaining to count.

Only the boxes on the forklift have yet to be counted. Boxes on the sides may have discrepancies but we have not confirmed this.

They are reportedly finding severe discrepancies in the ballot totals, up to 20% of ballots missing in some cases.

If we do not find the exact number of ballots that Maricopa County elections officials certified, there are serious issues.

On Bannon’s War Room yesterday, Eric Greitens said “If they don’t have the ballots in Arizona, they don’t have the victory.”

Christina Bobb Reported on OANN that if we do not have all of the certified ballots, this proves either fraud or gross negligence compromised this election.

Yesterday, FIVE states performed a full walkthrough of the process including MI, UT, OK, WA and GA. (Four were reported below.)

Today, we are expecting a large crowd from Wisconsin, a state that Biden won by just over half a point, to tour the facility.

Wisconsin is one swing state that saw a mysterious and unexplained drop of ballots late at night on election night that gave the election to Joe Biden. These lawmakers will tour the concluding hand-count process.

We can expect even more forensic ballot imaging stations to be propped up throughout the day, and next week.

At these stations, ballots are checked for accurate folds, fakes, possible machine-printed ballots, or anything out of the ordinary.

UK Government Adviser Says Mask Mandates Should Continue "Forever"

A UK government adviser and former Communist Party member Susan Michie says that mask mandates and social distancing should continue “forever” and that people should adopt such behaviour just as they did with wearing seatbelts.

Michie, who is a Professor of Health Psychology at UCL and a leading member of SAGE, said such control measures should become part of people’s “normal” routine behaviour.

"Vaccines are a really important part of pandemic control but it is only one part. [A] test, trace and isolate system, [as well as] border controls, are really essential. And the third thing is people’s behaviour. That is, the behaviour of social distancing, of… making sure there’s good ventilation [when you’re indoors], or if there’s not, wearing face masks, and [keeping up] hand and surface hygiene."

"We will need to keep these going in the long term, and that will be good not only for Covid but also to reduce other [diseases] at a time when the NHS is [struggling]… I think forever, to some extent…"

"I think there’s lots of different behaviours that we have changed in our lives. We now routinely wear seatbelts – we didn’t use to. We now routinely pick up dog poo in the parks – we didn’t use to. When people see that there is a threat and there is something they can do to reduce that [to protect] themselves, their loved ones and their communities, what we have seen over this last year is that people do that."

Michie’s comments once again emphasize how many scientific advisers have become drunk on COVID-19 power and never want to relinquish it.

Unsurprisingly, Channel 5 News made absolutely no effort to scrutinise these claims. The programme’s presenter raised no objection to the idea that mask-wearing and social distancing could continue “forever”, resorting only to friendly laughter,” writes Michael Curzon.

“Professor Michie’s co-panellist, a fellow scientist at UCL, Dr Shikta Das, said:

“I think Susan has made a very good point here,” adding that the vaccine roll-out has created a “false sense of security”.

She concluded:

“I don’t think we are yet ready to unlock.”

How’s all that for balance!

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Michie is known to be a long-time Communist hardliner and was so zealous in her beliefs she garnered the nickname “Stalin’s nanny.”

Her sentiment echoes that of fellow government adviser Professor Neil Ferguson, who once acknowledged that he was surprised authorities were able to “get away with” the same draconian measures that Communist China imposed at the start of the pandemic.

“[China] is a communist one-party state, we said. We couldn’t get away with [lockdown] in Europe, we thought… and then Italy did it. And we realised we could,” said Ferguson.

Tony Blair Suggests Unvaccinated Brits Should Remain Under Lockdown Restrictions

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair implied that those who choose not to be vaccinated should be discriminated against by remaining under lockdown restrictions if the UK’s June 21st “freedom day” is to be accomplished.

During an interview with ITV News, Blair was asked if he would delay the June 21st deadline, when all social distancing, mask mandates and other lockdown rules are supposed to come to an end.

Blair said that if the data suggested the June 21st date was at risk, the government should “look again at distinguishing between those people who are vaccinated and those people who aren’t because it really makes no sense to treat the two groups as if they’re the same.”

The former Labour leader then attempted to offer a rebuttal to those who would describe this as discrimination, but only succeeded in affirming that he is advocating for discrimination against the unvaccinated.

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair tells me ahead of the June 21st deadline @BorisJohnson should start to distinguish between those who have been vaccinated and those who haven't.

“If someone simply chooses not to get vaccinated, I mean frankly that’s their choice, you’re not discriminating against them, they’ve chosen not to do it,” said Blair.

In other words, Blair is suggesting that people who haven’t taken the vaccine should be punished by remaining under lockdown rules while the rest of the population gets their freedoms back.

Blair’s agenda in advocating discrimination against the unvaccinated isn’t surprising given that he has been aggressively pushing the use of vaccine passports for almost a year.

Back in January, Blair asserted that Britain should take the lead in presiding over a global vaccine passport system.

“It’s going to be a new world altogether,” Blair proclaimed, adding “The sooner we grasp that and start to put in place the decisions [needed for a] deep impact over the coming years the better.”
