Democrat Tricks in New Jersey Governor’s Race – Republican Winning Largest County with 100% of Votes Counted Then Vote Flips and Democrat Miraculously Wins County

Last night in the New Jersey Governor’s race Republican Jack Ciattarelli was leading current Democrat Governor Phil Murphy in the largest county in the state, Bergen County. Then suddenly things changed.

Last night the governor’s race in New Jersey was showing the Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli in the lead over the incumbent Democrat Phil Murphy. Then miraculously things changed.

With 83% of the votes counted in the state, Republican Ciattarelli held a statewide lead of 42,000 votes. At this time, Bergen County, the largest county in New Jersey, claimed 100% reporting with Ciattarelli winning 52% of the vote.

Then things changed. Minutes later, with 87% of the vote counted, the results in Bergen County changed and suddenly Murphy was reported ahead in the county with 51% of the vote. Ciattarelli’s 42,000 vote in the state also dwindled to a 1,600 vote lead at this time.

What’s going on in New Jersey?

Over 10K John Deere Workers Reject Latest Offer As Strike Extends Into Third Week

Over 10,000 striking John Deere workers across 12 facilities have rejected a contract offer which would have included an immediate 10% pay raise and $8,500 ratification bonus per worker, according to AP.

The rejected raises were twice as much as an earlier offer which was declined by United Auto Workers union members last month - sending the strike, which began Oct. 14, into its third week.

"Our members at John Deere strike for the ability to earn a decent living, retire with dignity and establish fair work rules," Chuck Browning, the director of United Automobile Workers (UAW) union's agricultural department, said in a statement when the strike began, adding "We stay committed to bargaining until our members' goals are achieved."

According to the UAW, the new offer was rejected by 55% to 45%, a slimmer margin than the October vote.

"The strike against John Deere & Company will continue as we discuss next steps with the company," the union said.

Deere Chief Administration Officer, Mark Howze, pitched the latest offer as a $3.5 billion investment in John Deere employees - and therefore, their communities "to significantly enhance wages and benefits that were already the best and most comprehensive in our industries."

The rejected agreement would have included a 10% pay raise this year, and 5% increases in the third and fifth years of the deal. In the second, fourth and sixth years, employees would have received lump sum payments equal to 3% of their annual pay, as well as a ratification bonus of $8,500.

"Even though it would have created greater competitive challenges within our industries, we had faith in our employees’ ability to sharpen our competitive edge," wrote Howze.

Shares in Deere were off sharply on the news:

Israeli spyware giant NSO group added to US trade blacklist along with three others

The US has added NSO Group, the Israeli spyware giant behind the infamous Pegasus software used to spy on journalists and human rights activists, to a trade blacklist, along with three firms charged with similar acts.

NSO and fellow Israeli spyware firm Candiru have been added to the US’ “entity list,” a trade blacklist that restricts the shipment of US tech to listed companies.

The Department of Commerce declared on Wednesday that the designation of both firms was “based on evidence that these entities developed and supplied spyware to foreign governments that used these tools to maliciously target government officials, journalists, businesspeople, artists, activists, academics, and embassy workers.”

The agency also claimed NSO and Candiru’s products had “enabled foreign governments to conduct transnational repression, which is the practice of authoritarian governments targeting dissidents, journalists and activists outside of their sovereign borders to silence dissent.”

“Such practices threaten the rules-based international order,” the Commerce Department concluded, trotting out one of its most notorious catchphrases.

NSO’s star product, the military-grade encryption-breaker Pegasus, has been deployed extensively around the world and was recently revealed to have been used to hack into smartphones belonging to 37 persons of interest — journalists, human rights activists, and others — last year alone.

Pegasus has the ability to turn the user’s smartphone into an audiovisual bug with just a click. The target is sent a bogus link and, upon opening it, the microphone and camera function become controllable by the remote hacker – all without knowledge of the user.

Whistleblower exposes multiple issues with Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine trial

Leading medical journal The BMJ has published an incendiary report exposing faked data, blind trial failures, poorly trained vaccinators, and a slow follow-up on adverse reactions in the phase-three trial of Pfizer’s Covid jab.

Central to the exposé is Brook Jackson, who, for two weeks, served as regional director at Ventavia Research Group, the company contracted to assist with the pivotal trial. She provided The BMJ with dozens of internal company documents, photos, audio recordings, and emails supporting her concerns.

Jackson reveals that Ventavia staff who conducted quality-control checks were overwhelmed by the volume of problems they were identifying. She repeatedly informed her superiors of poor laboratory management, and patient safety and data integrity issues.

In a cited internal document from August 2020, shortly after the Pfizer trial began, a Ventavia executive identified three site staff members with whom to “go over e-diary issue/falsifying data, etc.” One employee was said to have been subsequently “verbally counseled for changing data” and “not noting late entry.”

Jackson reported her concerns to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but was fired later the same day on the basis that she was “not a good fit.”

In a recording of a late September meeting provided by Jackson, in which she met with two Ventavia directors, the unwelcome prospect of an FDA inspection had been openly discussed. “We’re going to get some kind of letter of information at least, when the FDA gets here … I know it,” one said to Jackson.

Another former Ventavia employee has confirmed that the company had been expecting a federal audit of its Pfizer vaccine trial, though this did not materialize. A 2007 US Department of Health report found that, between 2000 and 2005, the FDA inspected just 1% of clinical trial sites, while, in 2020, just 50 on-site visits were conducted.

In the aforementioned recording, an executive can also be heard explaining that, when examining paperwork for trial quality control, the company wasn’t able to quantify the types and number of errors that were being identified. “In my mind, it’s something new every day,” the senior staffer says. “We know that it’s significant.”

Saudi ex-spy chief warns America: trust in the US is waning

Saudi Arabia’s former intelligence chief has claimed that the US’ military and policy failures in the Middle East have caused the Gulf states “strategic confusion” over the Biden administration’s commitment to the region.

Two failed military campaigns in as many decades have brought Washington’s influence into question, Turki al-Faisal said on Tuesday, citing the chaotic withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover in August and the planned departure of combat forces from Iraq.

Noting that the relationship between the US and the Gulf states was “imperative to peace and stability in the region,” al-Faisal – a former ambassador to the US – warned US President Joe Biden to “weigh [the issues] carefully” before taking “any steps … that impact this historical bond,” and suggested “[building] on it” to create a “new security structure for the region.”

This failed experience in Afghanistan and, I would say, semi-failed experience in Iraq, are responsible for the perceived failure or defeat of a great power, the US, and the greatest military alliance, NATO, in sustaining a regime and project of their creation.

After its run as the “dominant power for the last seven decades,” al-Faisal said “doubts” about the US were “accumulating” and causing “strategic regional confusion” that, in turn, would lead to “more conflicts and crises.” He added that the Middle East greatly feared the “danger” posed by this confusion.

In previous remarks criticizing the US pull-out from Afghanistan, al-Faisal described it as a combination of “incompetence, carelessness, [and] bad management.” He also warned that the stockpile of weapons and military tech that had been left behind could end up being used against Riyadh.

Creepy Pfizer Ad Tells Kids they are “Superheroes” for Taking Jab, Ignores Injuries of Others

The multi-billion dollar pharma giant with an incredibly tainted past, who has seen exponential profits during the pandemic as a result of taxpayers being forced to pay for the jab, has also enjoyed billions in taxpayer dollars to advertise said jab. The windfall of profits realized from vaccinating adults quickly turned the company’s sights to children as their customer base waned. Despite children facing a near zero chance of dying from COVID-19, the FDA jumped on board and quickly approved Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine for children ages 5-11.

After spending billions in taxpayer funded advertisements to convince adults to take the jab, Pfizer launched a new ad this week, which seemingly targets their new customer base — children. The company held back nothing and referred to children who got the vaccine as part of the experiment as “superheroes” with “superpowers”

“Superheroes come in all sizes 🦸🏽‍♀️🦸🏻🦸🏿‍♂️🦸🏼‍♀️ Watch as real kids express thanks to their superheroes; the 5-11 year old #Covid19 vaccine clinical trial volunteers. We’re incredibly grateful to the trial participants and their families 💙 #ScienceWillWin

Sadly, the kids in the video above are not heroes. None of them are of the age to consent to take a jab and they were all offered up to the pharma giant as guinea pigs by their parents.

While this ad is specifically referring to the kids whose parents allowed them to be guinea pigs as “superheroes,” the underlying tone is meant to appeal to all children.

“If I take the vaccine, I will be a superhero!”

Naturally, this ad is not very appealing to many who have a family member or friend who has suffered an adverse reaction to the jab. As a result, the dislikes on the video have already surpassed the likes and are climbing fast.

It is important to point out that the overwhelming majority of folks who get vaccinated have little to no side effect. However, to say it carries no risk and to censor those who point out those risks is highly unethical at best and downright insidious at worst.

As TFTP reported, this push to vaccinate children is in spite of the fact that children face a near-zero threat from the virus. What’s more, as Americans are quickly learning, the vaccine loses efficacy over time leading to a large number of breakthrough cases which the Centers for Disease Control can no longer sweep under the rug.

On top of breakthrough cases, there has been a record number of adverse reactions reported to the CDC and many of them include children. One of those children — who participated in the Pfizer trial and is a “superhero” according to the ad above — is Maddie de Garay, who received the Pfizer vaccine when she was 12. She is now is in a wheelchair.

Like Pfizer, Maddie’s family made an advertisement to tell her story about her experience with the vaccine. Unlike, Pfizer, however, Maddie’s ad is and has been actively censored on YouTube. What’s more, Comcast pulled the ad last week as it was slated to run before the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee met to discuss COVID-19 vaccines for children.

Gang leaders in New Zealand urge members to get COVID vaccine: video

Gangs in New Zealand are joining forces to take on COVID-19.

Seven leaders across four prominent posses are featured in a new campaign video to see their ranks get vaccinated against the coronavirus, the New Zealand Herald reported on Tuesday.

The public service announcement was commissioned by the minister for Maori development, Willie Jackson, with the help of his son, producer Hikurangi Jackson, who asked gang leaders to make videos encouraging fellow gang members — and those otherwise interested in their cause — to get vaccinated.

The 4-minute video featured Denis O’Reilly of the Black Power gang, who said he’s “taken a few shots” since he joined at 19-years-old — including two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine — and asked his community “to do the same.”

“This is not all about gangs — this is all about our whānau [family],” said Harry Tam of the Mongrel Mob in the clip. “One thing we need to be clear about is that this is not about the government telling us; it is about the experts telling the government, that is getting us to vaccinate to protect ourselves.”

Another Mongrel Mob member, Dennis Makalio, told viewers that getting vaccinated was a “no-brainer” for him.

At a total population of 5.08 million, New Zealand’s current outbreak hovers at around 3,600 cases — 70% of which come from native peoples, despite the fact that they are a minority in the country at just 27% of the population. The Guardian reported on Tuesday that 72% of eligible Maori have had one dose of the Pfizer vaccine, while 85% of Pasifika have achieved the same.

The prevalence of the disease among those groups has prompted health officials to grant gang leaders special essential-worker status, allowing them to reach out to their communities more effectively.

‘God’s Hand is With Us’: Illegal Migrant Caravan Leaders Are Issuing Violent Threats to U.S. Border Security.

…and, of course, the Biden regime is nowhere to be seen.

This year’s largest caravan of illegal migrants is on its way to an undisclosed area of the Mexico-U.S. border. While the Mexican government is reporting a three-thousand people-strong group (3,000) is set to arrive in the coming weeks, journalists in Tapachula have reported anywhere from five-thousand (5,000) to seventy-thousand (70,000) are awaiting the asylum process. Even without correct papers, most plan to make the journey north.

The main caravan is being led by individuals such as Mexican-American Irineo Mujica. Mujica is part of a “pro-migrant” organization that operates internationally, and has been investigated for human trafficking in the past. As the Director of the nonprofit Pueblo Sin Fronteras (People Without Borders/PSF), Mujica has been arrested and detained throughout his career for attacking immigration agents, local and federal police, after he was asked for identification documentation.

Mujica has recently been quoted on the intentions of his latest caravan: “we prefer to march with [travel] papers… and this time, with papers or without papers, we are ready for war. If the National Guard comes and they are cowardly enough to beat women and children, let them prepare because God’s hands is with us.”

Earlier this month, the group violently pushed through a National Guard roadblock in Tapachula, Mexico, overwhelming the forces dressed in riot gear.

PSF has been linked to multiple prior caravans, such as one in April of 2018. The group is linked to organizations like Casa de los Amigo and the Popular Assembly of Migrant Families (APOFAM), who favor the total destruction of U.S. borders.

The formation and rhetoric of the latest highly-organized caravan is nothing new. The process follows the same pattern as caravans of illegal immigrants dating back over a decade, frequently led by Mujica and PSF.

The latest caravan are mixed in origin of travel, coming from Haiti and countries across Southern and Central America. Members carry banners with Joe Biden’s name and the American flag. None have reported their exact final destination on the border, leaving the guess-work to border patrol agents in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

According to a source at the Texas Assistant United States Attorney department, Border patrol agents have largely been placed on desk-duty. There is a sense of demoralization given the scale of the border crisis, and the lack of support from the federal government.

As part of a campaign promise, the Biden Administration ended then reinstated a softer version of President Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy. Since this decision by the Democratic leadership, the U.S. has seen record numbers of unaccompanied children crossing the border, as well as record arrests, and human trafficking.

Pro-Censorship Group Center for Countering Digital Hate Funded by Pro-China Investment Org

The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), the far-left British nonprofit currently waging a campaign of pressure against Facebook to force the social media giant to clamp down further against conservative media, is backed by a shadowy Swiss investment group that is funding communist China’s bid for global dominance.

As Breitbart News reported yesterday, the CCDH recently published a report smearing Breitbart News and other conservative media publications as “climate deniers” in an attempt to blacklist them from Facebook.

The far-left organization equated quotes from a Breitbart News radio interviewee criticizing the Green New Deal as an example of “climate denial,” and even Facebook cast doubt on the report’s methodology.

CCDH is funded by the Oak Foundation, an enormously wealthy, shadowy investment entity based in Geneva, Switzerland.

The foundation funds a wide variety of left-wing causes, including efforts opposing the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws, voter registration and mobilization efforts for Democrat-leaning demographic groups, and a broad spread of left-wing environmental groups.

It is also funding communist China’s bid for dominance over global trade networks.

In 2018, the Oak Foundation donated $1 million to an organization called the ClimateWorks Foundation, “to support the greening of the Belt and Road Initiative.”

The Belt and Road initiative is one of the Chinese Communist Party’s most ambitious projects, a vast global infrastructure project aimed at linking Europe, Russia, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and the South Pacific in a trade network that starts and ends in China.

The project comprises ports, railroads, airports, tunnels, dams, power stations, and entirely new cities, all aimed at centering the world’s trade routes on China through a combination of rail, sea, road, and air routes.

U.S. ally Australia recently canceled deals struck by its state of Victoria with the Belt and Road initiative, prompting backlash from Beijing.

The U.S. State Department has criticized the Belt and Road initiative, accusing China of using “debt trap diplomacy” on developing nations after Sri Lanka lost control over a major port after defaulting on a debt to the Chinese.

Italy: 880 Schools Have More Foreign-Born Pupils than Native Italians

The number of foreign-born pupils in Italian schools is on the rise, with at least 880 schools across the country now having more foreign-born pupils and native Italians.

Schools with more than 50 per cent foreign-born pupils have increased from 805 to 880 in the last year, with more than half of the schools being kindergartens. At least 8.4 per cent of kindergartens in Italy have over 30 per cent foreign-born pupils.

Foreign-born pupils represent around 10.3 per cent of the total number of pupils in Italy, or 877,000 pupils out of 8,484,000 who attended an Italian school in the last year, newspaper Il Giornale reports. The 10.3 per cent figure is an increase since 2018 when the figure sat at 9.4 per cent.

3,809 schools across the country, mainly in Northern Italy, have rates of 30 per cent or more migrant children — 6.8 per cent of the total number of schools in the country, up from 5.3 per cent in 2016/2017.

In terms of regions, the region of Lombardy has the highest number of schools with migrant populations over 30 per cent, at 1,041, but Emilia-Romagna has the highest proportion, with 16.2 per cent of schools exceeding the 30 per cent migrant pupil threshold.

According to Il Giornale, the 30 per cent migrant student threshold was set up by the Italian Ministry of Education in 2010 in order to better facilitate integration efforts.

Milan, which has a large portion of schools with a high number of migrant-background pupils, reportedly saw up to 56 per cent of Italian parents in the city enrolling their children into non-catchment area schools in order to avoid them, according to a study published in 2018.

Milanese teachers also spoke out about problems with teaching foreign children, many of whom do not speak Italian.

“Over the past five years, there has been a considerable increase in the concentration of children with non-native speakers and from other countries that do not understand and do not speak Italian,” teachers, parents, and school administrators said in a letter to Milan’s Mayor Beppe Sala.

In other countries, such as Germany, some schools have migrant-background populations far higher than just 30 per cent, with some up to 99 per cent, such as the Schoeneberg Spreewald Elementary School in Berlin.

Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) study data released in 2019 revealed that migrant pupils in Germany and Austria performed far below the standards of native-born pupils.

Still Zero Boat Migrant Deportations This Year as 2021 Landings Pass 20,000

Over 20,000 illegal migrants have landed on British soil after crossing the English Channel from France since the start of the year, zero of whom have been deported by Boris Johnson’s government.

An estimated 400 boat migrants successfully reached England on Wednesday, taking the total for the year to over 20,000 — more than double last year’s total of 8,410.

The latest milestone comes as a report from the Migration Watch UK think tank has found that arrests for illegal crossings of the English Channel fell to just 46 from January to September, despite over 17,000 making the illegal journey during the same time period.

The think tank’s figures, seen by Breitbart London, mean that the government only achieved an arrest rate of 0.3 per cent, compared to an already low 1.3 per cent the prior year, when 113 were arrested.

Migration Watch went on to note that the government has also failed to deport a single illegal boat migrant who crossed the Channel this year.

Confirming the grim statistic, a Home Office spokesman told The Telegraph: “There were no returns in charter flights to EU destinations of people who had arrived via small boats in 2021 to date.”

Commenting, Alp Mehmet, Chairman of Migration Watch UK, said: “This is another shocker. As illegal arrivals have shot up, the proportion of arrests has gone the other way, with zero returns reported this year of those who have come through, and set sail from, safe countries to get here.

“Meanwhile, the British people look on in utter disbelief as one Home Secretary after another fails to get a grip of an ever-worsening situation.”

Former CIA Officer: China Is Using Stolen Tech to Build an America-Defeating Military

According to a former CIA officer, Red China is stealing American technology and using it to design and build an America-defeating military.

That CIA officer is named David Sauer and the Epoch Times reports that he “served as chief of station and deputy chief of station in multiple overseas command positions in East Asia and South Asia prior to his retirement.”

In an interview that won’t surprise China hawks and those who have been raising the alarm about Chinese industrial espionage, he told The Epoch Times’ sister media outlet NTD that:

“U.S. security officials estimate that the Chinese steal between $300 billion and $600 billion a year in U.S. intellectual property, research and development, information, and technology.”

“They’re [China] stealing that information and then integrating [it] into their economy and their state-owned enterprises [and] into their military. Some of their military systems look like a carbon copy of U.S. military systems. So it really saves them [China] a lot of time, sweat, and tears in trying to develop that technology.”

“The reality is that China’s using our technology and innovation to build its rise and to build a military that can defeat ours.”

And that’s not all. China doesn’t just hack databases, it also targets individuals. The Epoch Times reports that:

The Chinese regime targets individuals—who can be students, academics, or business people—seeking their cooperation to obtain certain technologies that the regime in Beijing wants to get its hands on, Sauer said.

One such example might be the sailor recently caught trying to sell nuclear submarine secrets to a foreign power in a Tom Clancy-like operation

The results of all that industrial espionage and weapons-tech theft can be easily seen. China’s J-20 stealth fighter jet looks suspiciously similar to America’s F-22 Raptor, the world’s premier air superiority fighter. Similarly, its J-31 stealth fighter appears to be a close replica of America’s newest stealth fighter, the F-35 Lightning II. While it is doubtful that the Chinese copies are as superb as the American originals, it’s obvious that the Chinese have stolen at least some specifications and data on how to build those weapon systems.

And it’s not only the big contractors like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon that are getting hit with waves of Chinese cyberattacks. For example, the Washington Free Beacon reported back in 2016 that a small aircraft parts supplier was hacked and threatened with bankruptcy by Chinese cyberwarriors:

A U.S. defense contractor was threatened with bankruptcy by Chinese hackers seeking jet fighter logistics secrets, according to the Pentagon’s Joint Staff.

Biden's Commerce Secretary Tried to Shield a $42 Billion Provision in Infrastructure Bill from Public Eyes

Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo requested a provision in the Democratic infrastructure bill shielding a $42 billion broadband funding program from public scrutiny, according to several people familiar with the matter.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a $1.2 trillion piece of legislation that passed the Senate in August with bipartisan support and currently awaits a vote in the House, sets aside $42 billion in broadband deployment grants to be given to states and administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, a division of the Commerce Department.

The bill also includes a provision exempting the broadband program from the Administrative Procedure Act.

That act, which has been interpreted to cover both the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act, requires federal agencies to publish notices of proposed and final rulemaking in the Federal Register and make documents and communications available to public records requests.

The exemption was added to the infrastructure bill at the request of Raimondo, two Senate aides familiar with the matter told the Daily Caller News Foundation.Congressional staff involved in drafting the bill may not have fully understood the potential consequences of the exemption, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.

Neither Raimondo’s office at the Commerce Department nor the NTIA responded to the DCNF’s multiple requests for comment as to why the exemption was included.

However, independent Maine Sen. Angus King said in remarks on the Senate floor that subjecting the bill to the APA would be “burdensome” and “slow down the process.”

The inclusion of APA requirements would also “invite lawsuits,” King said.

If enacted, the exemption would shield the Commerce Department’s program from public scrutiny and open the door for the NTIA to sue over public records requests, according to Kel McClanahan, executive director of public interest law firm National Security Counselors.

“It is not a stretch of the imagination that if someone files a public records request in a state using these broadband funds, the NTIA will at the very least lean on the state to not disclose information,” McClanahan told the DCNF.

McClanahan argued a similar case related to FirstNet, a public safety broadband network within the NTIA established in 2012 that was also exempt from the APA through a similar provision to the one included in the infrastructure bill.

In that case, the court held that FirstNet was exempt from FOIA requests.

McClanahan said the wording of the infrastructure bill’s APA provision was very similar to the provision shielding FirstNet from public scrutiny and was most likely an attempt by the Commerce Department to sneak through the exemption.

“They wanted to slip this thing by and say, ‘Looks like we’re not subject to FOIA,’” McClanahan said.

Aaron Mackey, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told the Washington Examiner that the language of the bill would likely exempt much of the broadband program from public records requests and requirements to publish notices.

“The bill’s full exemption from FOIA and the Privacy Act is inexcusable, especially for the massive amounts of taxpayer dollars being spent,” Mackey said.

DIRTY MONEY: Ethics Concerns Raised After Billionaire Biden Donor Hosts ‘Art Show’ For Hunter Biden

It is defined as; “The concealment of the origins of illegally obtained money, typically by means of transfers involving foreign banks or legitimate businesses.”

The Biden family has been accused of, and the evidence found on Hunter’s laptop left at a computer repair shop has verified, that their corrupt family has benefited from Joe’s political career.

With the extra spotlight on pervert, big spender Hunter, the family had to figure out a new way for foreign leaders to buy access to now President Joe Biden.

They got it, foreign money could be used to buy paintings, supposedly made by Hunter, for WAY OVER their estimated market value.

The Biden’s partnered with a billionaire business mogul named Moishe Mana owns “Milk Studios”.

Mr. Mana has a history of using art to steer donor cash and support for the presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden is at the center of a recent Hunter Biden art show, raising ethical concerns among watchdogs and experts.

Mana hosted a Hunter Biden art exhibition in Los Angeles on Oct. 1, where the president’s son and his Manager George Bergès entertained a crowd of about 200 potential buyers.

The Daily Caller contacted Moishe to ask about ethical concerns of co-owning the studio space for Hunter Biden’s Los Angeles art event. Mana replied, “Go fuck yourself u piece of shit garbage.” The Israeli-American billionaire declined to comment because the Daily Caller is “owned by a crazy..bad guy.” He then referred to the reporter asking the question as “a nazi jew” who should “[g]o find a real journalist job.”

Predators with Badges: The Sex Traffickers on America’s Police Forces

“Sexual predation by police officers happens far more often than people in the business are willing to admit.”—Former Seattle police chief Norm Stamper

We are a nation on the brink of a nervous breakdown.

Undeniably, the blowback from COVID-19 lockdowns and mandates continues to reverberate around the country, impacting the nation’s struggling workplaces, choking the economy and justifying all manner of authoritarian tyrannies being inflicted on the populace by state and federal governments.

Yet while it is easy to be distracted by political theater, distressed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and divided over authoritarian lockdowns and mandates, there are still darker forces afoot that cannot—should not—must not be ignored.

Here’s a news flash for you: there are sexual predators on America’s police forces.

Indeed, when it comes to sex trafficking—the buying and selling of young girls, boys and women for sex—police have become both predators and pimps. As the Philadelphia Inquirer reports, “Hundreds of police officers across the country have turned from protectors to predators, using the power of their badge to extort sex.”

Victims of sex trafficking report that police are among those “buying” young girls and women for sex. Incredibly, this COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in even greater numbers of children being preyed upon by sex traffickers.

Unfortunately, rather than being part of the solution, America’s police forces—riddled with corruption, brutality, sexual misconduct and drug abuse—have largely become part of the problem.

In New York, for instance, seven NYPD cops—three sergeants, two detectives and two officers—were accused of running brothels that sold 15-minute sexual encounters, raking in more than $2 million over the course of 13 months.

In California, a police sergeant—a 16-year veteran of the police force—was arrested for raping a 16-year-old girl who was being held captive and sold for sex in a home in an upscale neighborhood.

A week-long sting in Florida ended with 277 arrests of individuals accused of sex trafficking, including doctors, pharmacists and police officers.

Sex trafficking victims in Hawaii described “cops asking for sexual favors to more coercive situations like I'll let you go if you do X, Y, or Z for me.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene Racks Up $48,000 In Fines From Mask Mandate; Issues Statement

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has racked up nearly $50,000 in fines for not complying with the House Chamber’s mask mandate.

According to the House Ethics Committee, Greene has been fined at least seven times for refusing to comply with the mask mandate. She has been “documented” nearly two dozen times for bucking the mandate, said a letter dated Oct. 28 from the House Sergeant-at-Arms William Walker, the Washington Examiner reported.

“You have been observed not wearing a mask on July 29, August 2, September 20, 21, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30, and October 1, 12, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, and 27, and have been asked by a member of my staff to wear a mask while in the Hall of the House of Representatives on each occasion unless recognized to speak by the chair,” wrote Walker.

Greene, however, remains adamant that she will not comply with the mask mandate.

“I will continue my stand on the House floor against authoritarian Democrat mandates because I don’t want the American people to stand alone,” the Republican said in a statement Monday.

Greene, also on Monday, accused rule-makers of inconsistency on when masks are required.

“Democrat members don’t wear masks in the members gym when they work out. None of us do & no one should,” she stated.

“Why do I get fined for not wearing a mask when I’m sitting in a chair on the House floor the same as people eating unmasked at a restaurant?”

Israeli Military, CENTCOM, Launch Joint Military Drills

The exercises are one of the first joint drills since Israel came under CENTCOM's area of responsibility

A US helicopter carrier anchored off the Israeli Port of Eilat in the Red Sea Monday as US Central Command (CENTCOM) and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are launching joint amphibious exercises.

The drills are one of the first major joint exercises between CENTCOM and the IDF since Israel was transferred from US European Command to CENTCOM’s area of responsibility earlier this year. In August, CENTCOM and Israel held their first joint aerial exercises that involved F-35 fighter jets from both countries.

The US said the amphibious exercises will involve about 500 troops, most of them from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit. “The troops will take part in a multi-branch exercise for two weeks, in which they will train with counter-terrorism forces, commando forces and expose-attack forces, simulating warfare techniques in open areas and urban environments,” the IDF said, according to The Times of Israel.

Israel previously was covered under EUCOM since it did not have formal relations with many US allies in the Middle East. The Trump administration ordered Israel to be moved under CENTCOM in January of this year in light of Israel normalizing with the UAE and Bahrain.

Last week, the IDF sent a representative to CENTCOM headquarters in Florida, solidifying the change. The idea is to make it easier for the US, Israel, and the Gulf states to cooperate more easily against Iran.

“Through cooperation in training, intelligence and operational planning, we will continue to tackle current challenges, chief among them the Iranian threat. I have no doubt that the joint work with CENTCOM and Gulf countries will continue to lead Israel and its security to great achievements,” an IDF officer said last week.

Over the past few months, Israel has stepped up its rhetoric against Iran and is constantly threatening to attack, and the US has joined in on the threats. On Sunday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken would not rule out military action in the event that the Iran nuclear deal is not salvaged.

Thousands of Airmen and Guardians Defy Services' Vaccine Order

Nearly 96% of all active-duty Air Force and Space Force members met the services' tight Nov. 2 deadline for being fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with an additional 1% receiving at least one dose.

But according to data released Wednesday by the Air Force, a total of 8,486 airmen and Guardians remain unvaccinated, including nearly 5,000 who have asked for a religious exemption; 2,753 who "haven't started the series" or had their vaccines properly entered into their records; and 800 who have outright refused the shots.

In a press release issued Wednesday, Air Force officials said little about those who have decided not to get the vaccinations and focused instead on the 97% who followed orders.

"I am incredibly proud of our Airmen for coming together and getting vaccinated," Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force JoAnne Bass said. "This is about readiness, and ensuring our Air Force can continue to defend the homeland."

"A vaccinated force is a protected force, better able to deploy and to defend our interests anywhere at any time," said Department of the Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek. "Receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is a necessary requirement to keep our people safe and healthy."

The Department of the Air Force, which includes the Space Force, has granted 1,866 waivers, including 1,634 where a physician recommended against vaccination and 232 for airmen who retired or separated from the service by the deadline.

The 4,933 members who have requested a waiver based on religious beliefs face an uphill battle: The service has yet to approve a single religious accommodation, according to the department.

The Department of the Air Force has set a deadline of 30 business days for commands to process religious accommodation requests. Under Air Force policy, religious accommodations fall under the category of an administrative exemption, with commanders deciding the outcome.

Chaplains and staff judge advocates can provide input on any appeals but, ultimately, the surgeon general of the Air Force and Space Force, Lt. Gen. Dorothy Hogg, will render the final decision, according to the department.

Individuals are exempt from the vaccination requirement while their request is being adjudicated, but they will face weekly COVID-19 screening, as will all who are exempted from the vaccine, according to the services.

Last month, the Air Force separated 40 basic and technical trainees for refusing the vaccine – the first known discharges for not following a mandate issued in August by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

Air Force officials said in late October that anyone who has decided against following the order and is not seeking a medical exemption or religious accommodation will face disciplinary action under Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice – failure to obey an order or regulation.

The Air Force notified commanders that they can use a range of actions to discipline vaccine holdouts, including reprimands, nonjudicial punishment and court-martial.

Austin has said that he prefers that punishment for troops who refuse the vaccine be left to local commanders, according to Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.
