Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger Tries to Throw His Fulton County Election Team Under the Bus – Former NYPD Chief Bernie Kerik Puts Him In His Place

Georgia Secretary of State attacks his own as the Fulton County election mess heats up in Georgia. Unfortunately, everyone now knows he oversaw the mess.

Yesterday, eight months after the 2020 Election, FOX News’ Tucker Carlson finally woke up and realized there was fraud in Fulton County, Georgia.

This was after President Trump responded to the news coming out of Fulton County yesterday on election fraud.

This all comes after numerous issues were uncovered in Fulton County by the team of auditors with VoterGA.

Georgia Secretary of State, the corrupt Brad Raffensperger, owns the entire mess. He refused to take President Trump’s advice and look into the fraud in his state and instead set up the President of the United States showing he was a part of the fraud in Georgia.

Today Raffensperger threw Fulton County Election workers, Rick Baron and Ralph Jones under the bus for the state’s corruption in Fulton County. Unfortunately for him, former New York Police Commissioner called out Raffensperger for his actions in the election.

Georgia’s election in 2020 was a corrupt and criminal mess. The people of Georgia should demand a full forensic audit of their state’s 2020 Election results. All of America knows that Joe Biden did not win Georgia no matter what Raffensperger claims.

Watchdog introduces new additions to ethics waiver tracker for CIA, other appointees

Ethics waivers allow federal appointees to work on matters they may have a personal connection to.

The World Health Organization said Thursday the groups joint report with China on the origins of COVID-19 has "unintended errors" that will be corrected.

WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic told The Washington Post that the errors were in editing and did not change the accuracy of the overall, roughly 4-month-old report, nor its conclusions.

The corrections include specifically altering the virus sequence IDs for three of the 13 earliest patients listed in the report. It will also clarify that the first family cluster did not come from the seafood market in Wuhan, China, as Chinese officials originally said.

Jasarevic also told The Post that the first known patient was probably not the first case, therefore the competing claims about where that person lived is not relevant to the origin of the virus.

The updates follow after the newspaper outlined inconsistencies on the earliest known patient. The WHO upon hearing about the inconsistencies launched an investigation into the report and found other editing errors.

The WHO is also planning a Phase II study based on suggestions made in the report.

On Wednesday, a group of House Democrats called for the creation of a bipartisan commission to investigate the pandemic’s origins.

President Biden has also requested a more thorough investigation into the origins and that a report be given to him by August.

YouTube Bans National File Day Before Immigration Documentary Release

"The fact that YouTube would ban us the day before we release our first documentary, especially when its subject is the global migrant crisis championed by globalists, is quite frankly comical."

Liberal Big Tech video sharing platform YouTube terminated the official National File account on Thursday, citing unspecified severe or repeated violations of our Community Guidelines. YouTube has expressed a zealous commitment to purge its platform of independent media that strays from mainstream left-wing narratives.

The message from YouTube received by National File on Thursday read, “Hi National File. We have reviewed your content and found severe or repeated violations of our Community Guidelines. Because of this, we have removed your channel from YouTube.”

National File editor-in-chief Tom Pappert noted that the ban came shortly before National File releases the documentary “Destination Dover” covering the UK migrant crisis, stating, “The fact that YouTube would ban us the day before we release our first documentary, especially when its subject is the global migrant crisis championed by globalists, is quite frankly comical.”

“Thankfully, Big Tech no longer has a monopoly over information,” Pappert said. “There are new platforms that are better than YouTube in every way, ranging from Gab TV, to Banned.Video, to Rumble. When YouTube resorts to acts of blatant censorship, it only takes away their market share. Maybe the globalists at Alphabet Inc. don’t care about money anymore?”

Pappert concluded, “The most disgraceful part of this ban is that their excuse was ‘spam’. We are a news publication, and the videos that appeared to upset YouTube the most are episodes of National File TV, a commentary program. YouTube clearly wanted to get rid of us, and they wanted to do it before this documentary could be released, so they picked a reason – any reason – and went with it. Very embarrassing behavior from the big tech giant.”

National File’s Jack Hadfield, who conducted extensive on-site reporting for the “Destination Dover” documentary, also noted that the ban happened to coincide with the documentary’s planned release date. “There is no such thing as a coincidence when you’re dealing with Big Tech. National File is fortunate enough to have other platforms, like Gab, where we can still upload this video and reach just as many people.”

While YouTube remains committed to censoring independent media outlets, partisan left-wing organizations are still allowed free reign on the platform. The account of pro-left wing rag Right Wing Watch was recently reinstated after left-wing journalists complained on Twitter.

Chinese Communist Party Officials Share Viral Video Urging Nuclear Strikes On Japan

Relations between China and Japan have seen a rapid deterioration over the past months as Tokyo has firmly declared itself in Washington's corner on its willingness to defend Taiwan in the future event of a Chinese invasion of the island.

This week a social media video has been widely shared in China after it was originally posted to the official social media account of a local municipal authority run by Communist officials after being created by a Chinese military channel with over two million followers. The now viral video bluntly calls for "continuously" striking Japan with nuclear weapons should it continue supporting Taiwan's independence aspirations. The original upload has since been taken down from Xigua - the Chinese social media site which has a similar appearance to YouTube - after garnering international media attention. Watch the reposted video with subtitles below…

"If Japan intervenes in military affairs to reunify Taiwan, I must recommend the 'exceptional theory of nuclear strikes on Japan,'" the video's title reads.

The narrator then declares Japan "has not learned its lesson from history" which means China must "continuously using nuclear bombs until Japan announces its unconditional surrender for the second time" - in reference to WWII.

It was posted Sunday by the city council of Baoji in northwestern Shaanxi province. The "exceptional theory" is the controversial view held by many Chinese officials that China's 'self-defense only' use of atomic bombs doesn't apply in the case of Japan, thus an "exception" can be made.

"Our country is undergoing major changes unlike any in the last century… In order to ensure the peaceful rise of our country, it is necessary to take measures," the narration continues.

It urges citizens and government leaders to "combine the new and old hatred" for Japan, including from Japan's World War II invasion of China and the Nanjing Massacre - which it says viewers should think of in relation to Japanese Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso's earlier this month surprising statements saying that any future Chinese invasion of Taiwan would likely be interpreted in Tokyo as a "threat to Japan's survival" - allowing the government to deploy its Self-Defense Forces for collective self-defense.

China irked by Japan deputy PM’s comments on ‘protecting’ Taiwan

"If a major incident happened [in Taiwan], it would not be strange at all if it touches on a situation threatening survival," Aso said on July 5. "If that is the case, Japan and the US must defend Taiwan together." The number two highest Japanese official further noted "the situation over Taiwan is becoming extremely intense".

This came after Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's visit to the White House in April, wherein he reiterated "objections to China’s unlawful maritime claims and activities in the South China Sea" and outraged China by signing onto a joint statement which included the following line:

"The United States restated its unwavering support for Japan’s defense under the U.S.-Japan Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security, using its full range of capabilities, including nuclear."

Gretchen Whitmer Flees Question About Unemployment Agency Scandal

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) would not answer questions Thursday about one of her appointees involved in another scandal.

Whitmer was leaving an event in Grand Rapids when she was asked if the former director of the Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA), Steve Gray, “would return his $86,000 worth of hush money.”

The governor rushed to her car while an unidentified staffer ran interference:

The UIA has been plagued by computer problems and other issues as Michiganders, unemployed due to Whitmer’s lockdown response to the pandemic, sought relief.

State Rep. Steve Johnson (R), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement announcing an investigation into the scandal:

The Unemployment Agency has been a complete mess. From all the fraudulent activity occurring within the Agency to their latest letter to nearly 700,000 Michiganders potentially demanding they pay funds back, the UIA is a disaster and there needs to be leadership changes now.

“How about before asking people to pay funds back due to the state’s mistake, they ask former director Steve Gray to pay back his $86,000 hush fund payment.”

In March, it was revealed Gray received a “previously undisclosed separation agreement,” the Detroit News reported.

Similar to a heavily criticized taxpayer-funded confidential agreement with former health director Robert Gordon, Gray’s contract stipulated he was prevented from saying anything negative about his former boss.

“In addition, both parties agree that they will not make any statements or take any action disparaging the reputation of the other, whether written or oral,” it said.

Most of the $86,000 represented pay through June 1, nearly seven months after he resigned.

“Gov. Whitmer and her administration have repeatedly tried to avoid accountability for their negligence in the state’s unemployment agency, but today’s investigation announcement proves that this dereliction of duty will not stand,” Eric Ventimiglia, executive director for Michigan Rising Action, said in a statement.

“We applaud Rep. Steve Johnson for his commitment to uncovering the truth behind the disarray at the states unemployment office, which has left thousands of Michiganders helpless as they’ve struggled to navigate Whitmer’s crippling COVID shutdowns and restrictions.”

Indiana’s GOP Governor Will Not Send Police to Border After Sending Troops to Joe Biden’s Inauguration

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb (R) is refusing to send law enforcement officers to Arizona and Texas amid the nation’s ongoing border crisis after sending hundreds of United States National Guardsmen to President Joe Biden’s inauguration, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.

In June, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) asked states to help them with the wave of illegal immigration pouring into their states as a result of Biden’s massive Catch and Release operation and elimination of border controls.

Holcomb sent a statement to Indiana’s congressional delegation, writing that he would not be sending law enforcement officers to aid Texas and Arizona because, in part, the mission is “short-term and non-reimbursable assignment.”

Holcomb’s statement, exclusively obtained by Breitbart News, reads below:

It is highly unfortunate that border states are being forced to divert their own critical resources toward what is clearly a federal responsibility. Indiana has time and time again answered the call to assist states in need including now assisting on the southern border with 123 of our Indiana National Guardsman in and around Chula Vista, California tasked with border protection and monitoring.

Our two largest enforcement agencies, Indiana State Police and [the Department of Natural Resources’s] Law Enforcement Division, are currently in their heavy season as it relates to the significant uptick in drug interdictions, safety on our roads, as well as our response efforts in our parks and bodies of water during these summer months.

I appreciate the efforts that all our southern border partners are doing to protect the border and serve our country’s citizens.

Currently, due to my direct responsibility to the taxpayers of Indiana and the focus on the issues I stated above, I am unable to take additional personnel and law enforcement officers off their current state duties and mission to participate in this important yet short-term and non-reimbursable assignment.

Holcomb’s mention that 123 of Indiana’s National Guardsmen are currently deployed in Chula Vista, California is eclipsed by the fact that he deployed 625 National Guardsmen to Biden’s presidential inauguration in January.

By early March, more than 250 of those National Guardsmen were still deployed in Washington, DC, despite their original mission, providing security for Biden’s inauguration, having ended.

Already, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts (R), Idaho Gov. Brad Little (R), South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R), Arkansas Asa Hutchinson (R), Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R), and Ohio Gov. Mark DeWine (R) have sent law enforcement to Texas and Arizona to aid them with the border crisis.

In May, more than 172,000 border crossers were apprehended at the border — a nearly 700 percent increase in illegal immigration compared to the same time last year when former President Donald Trump implemented fierce border controls.

Current projections predict that about 1.2 million border crossers will be encountered at the border this year with potentially hundreds-of-thousands more crossing illegally, undetected by federal immigration officials.

Holcomb’s office did not provide Breitbart News with a comment in time for this publication.

Blinken Calls Hariri's Resignation 'Another Disappointing Development' for Lebanon

The United States is disappointed over the resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri amid an ongoing economic and political crisis, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a press release.

On Thursday, Hariri announced his resignation after a meeting with President Michel Aoun who again denied the former's proposed composition of a cabinet.

"Today’s announcement that Saad Hariri is resigning as Prime Minister-designate is yet another disappointing development for the Lebanese people," Blinken said on Thursday.

Blinken urged political leaders in Lebanon to put aside differences to form a new government and hold parliamentary elections in 2022.

Lebanon has been suffering from a deep economic crisis since 2019. The national currency has lost over 80% of its value, while the population is facing shortages of fuel and other essentials.

The economic collapse is accompanied by a political crisis, as the country has had no stable government since January 2020, when Hariri, who was the prime minister since 2016, left his post. He was appointed as the prime minister-designate again in October 2020, following the resignation of Hassan Diab, who quit over the Beirut port blast, and Mustapha Adib's refusal to form a government. Hariri claimed that he would find a compromise between all blocs and parties, but failed.
