California State Senator Wants to Mandate “Drag Queen 101” in K-12 Curriculum – Same Democrat Who Proposed Bill to Relax Sex Offender Punishment For Sex Crimes With Minors

In response to a Texas lawmaker’s plan to shield children from the depraved horrors of ‘Drag Queen Story Hour,’ a California Democrat indicated that he would be introducing legislation that would mandate “Drag Queen 101” in school curriculums for K-12 students.

Following a horrific event last week in Texas called “Drag the Kids to Pride,” in which children attended a hyper-sexualized Drag Show at a 21+ gay bar – disturbing viral videos from the event show kids handing dollar bills to the adult men as they dance provocatively – Texas state representative Bryan Slaton absolutely blasted the event as he introduced legislation that would effectively ban children under 18 from Drag events.

Slaton tweeted:

“The events of this past weekend were horrifying and show a disturbing trend in which perverted adults are obsessed with sexualizing young children. As a father of two young children, I would never take my children to a drag show and I know speaker Dade Phelan and the rest of my Republican colleagues wouldn’t either.”

Protecting our own children isn’t enough and our responsibility as lawmakers extends to the sexualization that is happening across Texas.”

ICYMI – here is a short clip from the awful event that was billed for the “whole family” – absolutely horrifying. This should be illegal everywhere. The sign at the event literally said the words “it won’t lick itself.”

Again, an event for young CHILDREN:

Naturally, radical LGBTQ activists and groomers weren’t too pleased with Slaton’s crusade, decrying the lawmaker as a bigot, guilty of pushing genocide and erasure on trans people – which is obviously total unhinged nonsense. Unfortunately though, in places like the Liberal hellhole that is California, the crazed activists pervade the government power structure.

After seeing Slaton’s statement, Democrat California state senator Scott Wiener, who represents San Francisco, felt inspired to turn California into a sanctuary state for groomers, tweeting that he now has “an idea” for new legislation that will ensure the children are forced to partake.

From Weiner:

“Offering Drag Queen 101 as part of the K-12 curriculum. Attending Drag Queen Story Time will satisfy the requirement.”

Obama in Copenhagen: We Have to Take Steps to Detoxify Our Discourse…Particularly the Scourge of Disinformation, Conspiracy Theories and Hate Online

Barack Obama spoke on Friday at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit where he endorsed cancel culture and called for more online censorship.

Barack Obama will also be meeting with dozens of Obama Foundation leaders from across Europe on Saturday, according to Politico.

Obama attacked the First Amendment while he was overseas.

“We have to take steps to detoxify our discourse, particularly the scourge of ‘disinformation, conspiracy theories, and hate’ online,” Obama said.

Obama also endorsed cancel culture and said “the original identity politics is racism and sexism and homophobia…that’s done more harm than a tweet from an aggrieved liberal.”

“Now I want to be clear. I have little sympathy for reactionaries who cynically condemn identity politics or cancel culture when you all they’re doing is trying to preserve existing privilege or excuse entrenched injustice, or bigotry,” said Obama.

Obama believes Americans should be ‘canceled’ and lose their jobs because of their (conservative) political beliefs.

Spoken like a true Marxist.

Supreme Court Votes to Allow Counting of Ballots in PA with Missing Dates

What has happened to the rule of law in this country?

The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that mail-in ballots with missing dates can be counted in the state. This insane ruling will affect future elections significantly. Next, they’ll rule that signatures and names aren’t necessary.

Pennsylvania is already one state with the largest amount of voter fraud per the 2020 Election. We saw President Trump’s lead of around 700,000 votes disappear days after the election as the corrupt election officials in the state prevented poll watchers from observing events for days until enough ballots were manufactured to give Biden the lead in the state.

Now the state can disregard any date on a ballot which is required by state law.

The Hill reports:

The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for election officials in Pennsylvania to count mail-in ballots whose envelopes are missing a handwritten date, as required by state law.

The disputed ballots relate to a contested 2021 judicial election, but the broader legal fight over mailed ballot requirements could have implications for future elections in the state, including the upcoming midterms.

The court’s brief order Thursday did not provide a rationale, but the court’s three most conservative members wrote in dissent…

…The Thursday order effectively reinstated the 3rd Circuit decision, over a dissent by Alito, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.

“When a mail-in ballot is not counted because it was not filled out correctly, the voter is not denied the right to vote,” Alito wrote. “Rather, that individual’s vote is not counted because he or she did not follow the rules for casting a ballot. Casting a vote, whether by following the directions for using a voting machine or completing a paper ballot, requires compliance with certain rules.”

There is no mention why the other “conservative” justices voted for the ruling. Likely, because it doesn’t make sense.

We reported previously how Hillary’s creepy attorney Marc Elias was pushing this move in this state, arguing that the law should not be adhered to. He celebrated the decision yesterday.

Ukraine Belatedly Admits 'Heavy Casualty Rate' In Appeal For More Weapons From West

Ukraine's government has thus far kept its military death toll a tightly guarded secret, now four months into the conflict, even as heavy international scrutiny has focused on Russian losses amid prior widespread speculation and assertions that Russia was "losing".

However, there's been a noticeable shift in Western media and among the national security pundit class over the past weeks as Russian forces begin to solidify hold over nearly all the Donbas, and as the final Luhansk holdout city of Severodonetsk's fall looks imminent.

With this backdrop, Mykhaylo Podolyak - a senior advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky - admitted Thursday that Ukraine is losing between 100 and 200 troops per day amid the Russian onslaught. The figure is significantly revised upward compared to President Zelensky only last week offering a loss estimate of between 60 and 100 troops each day.

After seeking to hide or downplay information which could give the appearance of sever Ukrainian losses and battlefield setbacks, it seems taking daily average casualties public is geared toward getting more arms from the West.

"The Russian forces have thrown pretty much everything non-nuclear at the front and that includes heavy artillery, multiple rocket launch systems and aviation," Podolyak told BBC, and further:

He repeated Ukraine's appeal for more weapons from the West, saying that the "complete lack of parity" between the Russian and Ukrainian armies was the reason for Ukraine's heavy casualty rate.

"Our demands for artillery are not just some kind of whim… but an objective need when it comes to the situation on the battlefield," he said. He specified that Ukraine's military needs 150 to 300 rocket launch systems to match Russia, which is far and above what the West has supplied thus far.

At the same time, Podolyak said that his government's position is that peace talks with Russian representatives are not possible until the Kremlin gives back territory it's seized since the Feb.24 invasion began.

Separately, but right on message, Ukraine’s deputy head of military intelligence has said Ukraine is "losing against Russia on the frontlines and is now almost solely reliant on weapons from the west to keep Russia at bay," as cited in The Guardian.

“This is an artillery war now,” said deputy head of military intelligence Vadym Skibitsky. He said in terms of ongoing frontline fighting which he dubbed "where the future would be decided," the reality is "we are losing in terms of artillery."

Trump’s daughter broke with him on election fraud claims

Ivanka Trump told the Democrat-led January 6 Committee that she had “accepted” her father’s loss to Joe Biden

Ivanka Trump told the Democrat-run committee investigating the January 6, 2021 riot on Capitol Hill that she “accepted” former Attorney General Bill Barr’s statement that Donald Trump’s claims of 2020 election fraud were “bulls**t.”

“I respect Attorney General Barr. So I accepted what he was saying,” Trump, who served as an advisor to her father, said in a Thursday video deposition shown by Representative Liz Cheney, a Republican opponent of the ex-president.

A month after the 2020 election, Barr released a statement saying that the US Department of Justice had found no evidence of fraud widespread enough to have swung the vote for Joe Biden. In his testimony to the January 6 Committee, Barr said that he had “made it clear” to Trump in late 2020 that he considered the then-president’s claims “bulls**t,” and that he “did not want to be a part of it.”

Twitter Quietly Removes Warning Added To A CDC Study On Child Vaccines

Twitter has removed a warning that it had added to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as part of its campaign to limit what it claims to be “potentially harmful and misleading content.”

Twitter and other social networking giants are known to have worked closely with the CDC in controlling the narrative during the pandemic, including suppression of alleged misinformation, in emails obtained by Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in July 2021.

In one of the emails, Twitter offered the CDC free advertising on its Promoted Trend and Promoted Spotlight Trend, with an estimated value of $75,000 and $150,000 respectively.

While in a different email dated March 26, 2020, a CDC representative asked the social media network for assistance in getting its partner organization verified status so that “the COVID-19 messaging they are posted gets the same resonance as other verified accounts.”

Phil Kerpen, president of American Commitment, posted about the recent blunder on Twitter, saying that the network had “slapped a warning on the Journal of the American Medical Association for the wrongthink crime of publishing data showing rapid waning of COVID vaccines in children.” Kerpen had posted the study back in May to his account.

The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) is a peer-reviewed medical journal that published the CDC study on May 13, 2022.

When clicking on the link provided on Kerpen’s post on June 8, a message appeared, stating “Warning: this link may be unsafe.”

Traitor and Former Trump Ed. Sec. Betsy DeVos Trashes Trump While Simultaneously Funding Campaign of GOP Governor Candidate Gunning for Trump Endorsement

President Trump’s Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was one of the first rats to jump ship after January 6.

Not surprisingly, the second rat to jump ship was Senator Mitch McConnell’s wife, and former Trump Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.

100 Percent Fed Up – Now, billionaire Betsy DeVos has written a new book titled “Hostages to the Cause: The Fight for Education and the Future of the American Child” that will be released on June 21, 2022. In her new book, DeVos trashes her former boss and falsely attempts to tie him to the violence on January 6.

In a USA Today interview, DeVos blames President Trump for failing to “address the situation.”

She even raised the 25th Amendment issue directly with Vice President Mike Pence.

Curiously, while trashing President Trump, Betsy DeVos, who likes to think of herself as the kingmaker in Michigan GOP politics, is simultaneously supporting the GOP candidate for governor in Michigan, Tudor Dixon, who has NOT been endorsed by President Trump but has gone out of her way to appear with him for photo ops.

While Dixon may be a good candidate, having the appearance of the DeVos family controlling her decisions could be problematic for the young mother of four, as grassroots voters want nothing to do with anyone they perceive as being owned by the never-Trump billionaire.

Trump’s 100-6 record of winning with endorsed candidates is off the charts. GOP candidates are desperately seeking his endorsements to bolster their campaigns. Will the alignment of the nasty billionaire Betsy DeVos who likes to control politics in the state of Michigan, ruin Tudor’s chances of getting Trump’s endorsement?

Newsmax published an article on May 31 touting an imminent Trump endorsement for Betsy DeVos’s new puppet, Tudor Dixon: “Trump May Soon Endorse Tudor Dixon for Michigan Governor.”

Donald Trump is leaning toward a strong endorsement of conservative TV commentator Tudor Dixon in the Republican primary for governor of Michigan, several GOP sources in Michigan told Newsmax on Monday.

Reportedly pushing hard for the former president to come out for Dixon are two of his major supporters in the Wolverine State: Betsy DeVos, who was Trump’s secretary of education, and John Rakolta, Jr., an Oakland County businessman who served as Trump’s ambassador to the United Arab Emirates (and is the uncle of Republican National Chair Ronna McDaniel).

Tudor Dixon has posted several images of herself standing next to President Trump on her campaign’s Facebook page:

‘Instigator of war’ in Ukraine named by Hungary’s Orban

George Soros “symbolizes” business circles that are interested in prolonging the conflict in Ukraine, the country’s PM has claimed

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has listed billionaire financier George Soros among the “instigators of war” in Ukraine.

In an interview with Kossuth radio on Friday, Orban said that only peace would curb inflation and save the economy from further shocks, but admitted that Ukraine had “the right to defend itself.”

He also said that Hungary was now virtually the only country that wanted peace. Indeed, Budapest, unlike most other European capitals, has refused to send weapons to Ukraine.

“We need to fund peace, not war,” Orban explained.

However, he did emphasize that there were people who were interested in prolonging the conflict.

“It is now quite obvious that there are business circles that are interested in this war. George Soros symbolizes them. He speaks openly about the need to prolong the war. These are instigators of war who want to cash in on the war,” the prime minister said, adding that such “instigators” should be held responsible.

Authorities Refuse Request to Release Bodycam Footage of Paul Pelosi DUI Arrest

The Napa County DA's office will now decide whether to bring charges against Pelosi, 82

Law enforcement officials in California are refusing to release bodycam footage that details the DUI arrest of Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi. Authorities have said that a release could “jeopardize” the investigation and went on to cite standard operating procedure.

The California High Patrol denied on Thursday a public records request seeking to release police bodycam and dashboard footage of Pelosi’s arrest.

Paul Pelosi was arrested last month on suspicion of drunk driving. Pelosi, 82, was arrested at 11:44 p.m. local time and charged with driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or higher, according to TMZ, who first reported on the arrest.

Bail was set at $5,000, according to the booking report, and the House Speaker’s husband was released early Sunday morning.

Pelosi was driving his 2021 Porsche before being involved in a collision with another vehicle, according to a collision report from the California Highway Patrol. Officers were soon dispatched to the scene and ruled that neither driver was at fault for the crash.

No injuries were reported, and the other driver was not detained, officials said.

In the days following Pelosi’s arrest, the Napa County DA’s office has refused to release police bodycam footage, according to a statement obtained by Fox Digital.

“The Public Records Unit (PRU) has determined the Department possesses records responsive to your request,” CHP told Fox News Digital in a letter in a response to a California Public Records Act request last week, confirming the existence of the footage.

“However, the Napa County District Attorney’s Office has advised the release of records would jeopardize an ongoing investigation. As such, records are being withheld pursuant to Government Code section 6254 (f).”

The Napa County DA’s office will now decide whether to pursue criminal charges against Paul Pelosi, who was cited and released with two misdemeanors. “This is standard protocol in any DUI case that is referred by a law enforcement agency in Napa County,” prosecutors stated. “No decision has been made at this time. Any speculation to the contrary is incorrect.”

House Speaker Pelosi has yet to publicly comment on the arrest and does not plan to, according to a spokesman.

“The Speaker will not be commenting on this private matter which occurred while she was on the East Coast,” said Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Nancy Pelosi, shortly after the incident. The speaker was in Rhode Island to deliver a commencement speech at Brown University at the time of the arrest.

Biden administration is 'indirectly paying a Taliban-controlled airline to help Afghans flee the country after the disastrous withdrawal of troops'

Afghans fleeing the Taliban regime are being flown out on Ariana Afghan Airlines

They travel to Doha in Qatar before being transported on to the U.S.

Without diplomatic relations, the U.S. relies on Qatar to make arrangements

It means U.S. money is going to Taliban-controlled airline, reports NBC News

The U.S. is indirectly paying an airline controlled by the Taliban to fly out Afghans seeking safety, according to a new report, following the chaotic departure of American troops last year.

Washington is committed to helping rescue Afghans who helped U.S. forces or who fear for their lives after working for the former government.

But with no diplomatic representation in the country it is reliant on Qatar, which maintains relations with the Taliban, to make arrangements to fly Afghans out of the country en route to the U.S.

Four sources told NBC News that Qatar is buying plane tickets in bulk from Ariana Afghan Airlines, the country’s state-owned airline.

The airline flies twice a week to Doha, with tickets costing around $480 a seat.

From there, the U.S. arranges onward flights.

Any suggestion that American taxpayers money is going to the Taliban will be embarrassing to the Biden administration, which has refused to recognize the new government in Kabul.

The Taliban suspended refugee flights in January, reportedly angered by the way they were characterized as evacuation flights. But some 2,500 Afghans en route to the U.S. have reportedly flown out since the flights resumed two months ago.

'The United States remains committed to supporting American citizens, lawful permanent residents and our Afghan allies and their families who are eligible to relocate to the United States,' a State Department spokesperson said.

'This is an enduring effort, and the State Department continues to support travel for these individuals out of Afghanistan at this time.'

Refugee advocate say about 160,000 Afghans are trying to resettle in the U.S. because of their previous work.

New law targeting 'LGBT propaganda' introduced in Russia

Proposed fines for promoting non-traditional sexual relations could exceed $160,000

Russian lawmakers are considering a new law targeting "LGBT propaganda." It would provide for fines of up to $160,000 for promoting non-traditional sexual relations. The draft legislation was submitted to Russia’s State Duma on Tuesday and is currently being reviewed by the state-building and legislation committee.

It proposes to amend an existing administrative law, which restricts information promoting, what are regarded as, non-traditional sexual relations among minors. The new law would pronounce parts of the old legislation obsolete and impose administrative responsibility for LGBT messaging in general.

An explanatory note attached to the document notes that “family, motherhood and childhood in their traditional understanding, which comes from our ancestors, are the values that ensure the continuous change of generations, act as a condition for the preservation and development of a multinational people, and therefore need special state protections.”

The bill would introduce fines for propaganda aimed at “forming non-traditional sexual attitudes, the attractiveness of non-traditional sexual relations, a distorted idea of the social equivalence of traditional and non-traditional sexual relations, and the imposition of information about non-traditional sexual relations, causing interest in such relations.”

As long as those actions do not constitute a criminal offense, it is proposed to introduce fines for members of the public of between 40,000 and 50,000 rubles ($660-$830), and penalties of between 100,000 and 500,000 ($1,660-$8,300) for officials. Legal entities could face fines of between one million and five million rubles ($16,600-$83,000) or a suspension of activities for up to 90 days.

The punishments would be more severe if the suspected violations were carried out with the use of mass media or the internet, in which case the fines would range from 100,000 and 500,000 rubles ($1,660- $8,300) for ordinary citizens, 500,000 to one million rubles ($8,300-$16,600) for officials, and up to 10 million ($166,000) for legal entities.

Foreign citizens are also mentioned in the bill, as they could also face fines of between 40,000 and 100,000 rubles ($660-$1,660) or from 100,000 to 500,000 ($1,660- $8,300) if they use the internet for the promotion of such relationships. Alternatively, foreign citizens or people without citizenship could face a 15-day administrative arrest followed by expulsion from the Russian Federation.

The bill’s authors note that, while one of the key principles of a democratic state is the reasonable protection of the rights of minorities, “at the same time, the threats arising from the imposition of foreign standards that break the generally accepted way of life in the field of family and marriage begs the question about a need to protect the culture of the majority, including by introducing additional legal regulation.”

It is also noted that the draft legislation does not prohibit or condemn non-traditional sexual values or public discussions on the topic in a “neutral context,” and does not intend to infringe on personal freedoms and people’s rights to determine their sexual orientation and express themselves in a legal manner.

NATO chief Stoltenberg has shingles, cancels Berlin visit

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg called off a series of in-person meetings in Germany and Romania because he has contracted shingles after having a coronavirus infection last month, his office said Thursday.

“The Secretary General will conduct his planned visit to Germany (and Romania) remotely rather than in person. He has been diagnosed with shingles, which can occur after COVID-19, and is working from home,” a NATO official said.

The 63-year old former Norwegian prime minister had been due to attend meetings in Berlin on Thursday with Germany’s chancellor and with the country’s defense minister.

Stoltenberg, who is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, contracted the coronavirus in early May and was forced to work from home as NATO foreign ministers met in Berlin.

Shingles is caused by the herpes virus that causes chickenpox. It often surfaces as a skin rash with blisters. It can be particularly painful for adults.

Congress Ramps Up Efforts to Increase $813 Billion Military Budget for 2023

Hawks in Congress and US weapons makers want more military spending to match inflation

Efforts to add more to President Biden’s requested 2023 military budget are ramping up as hawks in Congress and US weapons makers are calling for more spending, Politico reported on Thursday.

Biden asked for an $813 billion military budget, which represents about a 4% increase from the $782 billion that was approved for 2022. But with inflation over 8%, Congress wants more, and the Biden administration appears poised to agree.

“I just think we have everything on our side on this thing,” said Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), the leading Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee. “We ought to be able to get the adequate increases that we want.”

While the push is being led by Republicans, many Democrats also favor a spending hike. It’s not clear at this point what sort of increase Congress will approve. Some Republicans are calling for a 5% increase on top of inflation, which would require a massive boost.

The US military services have put together a list of $17.8 billion in possible spending that wasn’t included in Biden’s budget request that could be added to the $813 billion.

In May, a group of US arms makers and aerospace firms sent a letter to congressional leaders of the appropriations and armed services committees that called for an increase to the 2023 budget.

The letter was sent by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), a trade group for defense firms whose members include Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics. The AIA wants to see an increase of 3-5% over inflation.

The main justification Republican hawks and the AIA use to call for more military spending is China, which the Pentagon has named the top “threat” facing the US military. With this in mind, some House lawmakers have requested an increase in spending for US Indo-Pacific Command.

Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks has already signaled that the Biden administration is willing to add on to the $813 billion budget. “Where inflation will be in September, let alone this time next year, we don’t know, but we want to work with Congress on the ‘23 budget to make sure we have the purchasing power for this program,” Hicks said last month.

Satellite images show ‘disabled’ Damascus airport after raid attributed to Israel

Russia condemns ‘vicious, provocative’ attack; both runways in Syrian capital hit three times; Israel has accused Iran of using civilian flights to transfer weapons to Hezbollah

An Israeli satellite intelligence firm published images Friday showing damage to Damascus International Airport’s runways, following a pre-dawn airstrike attributed to Israel.

Syria’s state media reported that Israeli jets struck targets south of Damascus at around 4:20 a.m on Friday, wounding one person and causing material damage. Hours later, the country’s Transport Ministry announced that it would suspend incoming and outgoing flights at the airport, citing technical disruptions.

ImageSat International (ISI) said the strikes “completely disabled” operations at both the airport’s runways. Each runway appeared to have been struck three times.

In separate missile strikes in April and May, other sections of one of the runways were damaged in attacks attributed to Israel. According to ISI, those strikes shortened the length of the runway significantly and prevented large planes from landing.

Friday’s strike “disabled the entire airport until repair,” ISI said.

Russia is able to pay its foreign debts — Bank of Russia

The country has all of the resources it needs to pay off its debts, Elvira Nabiullina reiterated

Russia is able to pay its foreign debts, Governor of the Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina said at a press conference on Friday.

"From the point of view of financial resources, we have the possibility and the ability. We also have the desire to pay, and the Finance Ministry has shown all options. Typically, problems with paying sovereign obligations are caused by budgetary issues. We don't have such issues. Once again, we have all of the resources we need to pay off our debts," she said.

According to Nabiullina, Russia's issues stem from technical challenges in repaying sovereign debt in foreign currency, as well as restrictions on international banking operations. She stressed that the state's obligations to Russian citizens and Russian residents who purchased federal loan bonds are unaffected by this situation.

Ex-Mossad head launches new firm to win the influence war

Ex-Mossad chief Danny Yatom has a new company to shape voters’ hearts and minds.

It’s been less than a year, but CIY Global, the latest company founded by former head of the Mossad Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Danny Yatom, has already scored several wins.

The company, based in central Israel, provides a unified solution to clients by using a wide variety of tools in order to influence campaigns and business development.

“We act as a one-stop shop. We provide all services, including graphics, video content. We have holistic capabilities,” Yatom, president of CIY, told The Jerusalem Post at the company’s office.

“We act as a one-stop shop. We provide all services, including graphics, video content. We have holistic capabilities.”

Danny Yatom

Yatom served close to 30 years in the IDF and ended his time in the military as OC Central Command. He also served as military secretary to Yitzhak Rabin, first when he was defense minister in 1983, and then prime minister in 1992. He then served under Shimon Peres and as chief of staff for prime minister Ehud Barak from 1999 to 2001.

He headed the Mossad from 1996 to 1998 and also served as a Knesset member for the Labor Party between 2003 and 2008.

Yatom explained that he founded the company after he ended his campaign run in 2021 as the head of the Veteran’s Party, where he met Nevo Cohen and Ofer Inbar, who later joined him and his son Omer to found CIY Global.

CIY Global

A political campaign agency, CIY Global has run dozens of campaigns, both in the political and business worlds, in Europe, North, Central and South America. Though many of the campaigns have been under the radar, some clients have understood the power that using an Israeli company might provide.

It is jointly owned by Yatom, his son Omer, who handles business development, Cohen, who serves as CEO, and Inbar, who is communications director.

The team also includes Dr. Liraz Margalit, who specializes in behavioral design and decision-making and acts as the team’s behavioral scientist and hires local teams during their campaigns.

Whether it be for political campaigns, business development, investments or even the military sectors, the strength of CIY Global is to help clients persuade, convince and influence target audiences.

“We are in the mind-setting business. We are an influence company,” said Cohen.

“Our belief is that propaganda or influence should be the next big thing,” he said. “There is an understanding, now more than ever, that governments and defense bodies must have the capabilities to influence on a much bigger scale. The strategic ability to influence is on a scope we’ve never seen before.”

When working on a political campaign, the company meets with the candidate in order to help him shape the messages and identify hot spots that may be relevant. They break down the situation on a daily basis in order to provide the required influence.

CIY is very data-oriented and analyzes big data and deep nano targeting tools in order to identify potential voters and a target audience.

“We need to be ahead of the others in assessing and understanding what the story of the day is. We create all the tools for the candidate, with all the right slogans and messages on various platforms in order to lead the attitude of the public the way we want it,” Cohen said.

“We are a content box which wants to win the content war daily. We want the other side to be reactive.”

COVID vaccines appear to cause abnormally long blood clots, says pathologist

Some blood clots found in people who received a COVID-19 vaccine were reportedly a couple of feet long.

Unusually long blood clots are being found in people who received COVID-19 vaccines, according to Dr. Ryan Cole of Cole Diagnostics in Boise, Idaho.

Cole's laboratory receives tissue samples from morticians across the country. He reports that they are finding long blood clots — including several that are inches-long and even a couple that are a foot long — in corpses that contained the COVID vaccine.

Liberty Counsel, a religious freedom legal advocacy nonprofit currently representing military members seeking vaccine mandate exemptions, recently interviewed Cole. His lab "is able to determine the difference between a spike protein caused by the virus and a spike protein caused by the COVID shots, which are demonstrably different and much more pronounced and serious," according to the organization.

Cole told Greg Hunter on USAWatchdog earlier this month that a Stanford University study found that, unlike a COVID infection, which leaves the body in a week or two, the vaccine causes the spike protein to remain in the body longer.

"[T]hose who had a natural infection cleared the virus within that first week or two — their body had the ability to clear it," Cole said.

"But when you put the synthetic sequence in, the body is not clearing it," he explained. "It's persistently making spike protein. And that sequence is persisting, and then it's damaging the organs chronically over time, it's damaging the immune cells chronically over time, it's causing clots … chronically over time."

With mRNA vaccines, the spike protein can stay "up to 8 weeks postvaccination in some cases," according to the study.

Cole's lab is "seeing mushy organs, we're seeing incredibly inflamed organs," he said. "We know the spike protein cause all the … bad outcomes that the virus did in 2020. And a lot of comorbid individuals, we know that spike protein is causing inflammation in the lung, the brain, the liver, the kidneys, the heart — it's causing the same damage that the virus was causing."

However, "in the body, the shots are persisting and making more spike protein than if you had a natural infection," he added.

Cole also cited studies by South African doctor Resia Pretorius, who found that the COVID "spike protein alone causes the proteins in our blood to clump," he said. "That spike protein is thrombogenic — it causes clots, and it causes a lot of clots."

Morticians usually "put a dissolving fluid in to break up clots so they can get their embalming fluid in," Cole said in a March interview with Steve Kirsch. "And they were getting back pressure on the system, saying, 'What in the world is going on?'

They ended up "pulling out, you know, 6-inch clots, 12-inch clots, 2-3-foot-long clots," he said. "Because you know from the hip down into the leg, you have a long vein called the saphenous vein. And so they were pulling long clots out of your longer veins. And … they hadn't seen anything like this previously."

An embalmer who has worked in her field for 11 years told Kirsch in February that she saw these unusual clots in 93% of the last 30 people she embalmed in Carrollton, Mo.

Spanish government admits to spraying chemtrails on citizens, at behest of the UN

During the strategically-planned covid-19 “state of emergency,” the United Nations (UN) authorized the Spanish government to spray lethal chemtrails from the skies. On April 16, 2020, the Spanish government quietly admitted that they authorized the military to spray biocides on the entire population. This population-wide medical experiment was carried out under the cover of a “state of emergency for the management of the health crisis situation caused by Covid-19.” This desperate, yet well-devised plan violates multiple counts of the Nuremberg Code — a human rights and medical ethics treaty that is not being enforced in any capacity.

Spanish Minister of Health was authorized to use military units to spray citizens en masse

This biocidal chemtrail operation was enabled by Royal Decree 463/2020, of March 14th, which enabled the Minister of Health to take “a series of measures aimed at protecting the welfare, health and safety of citizens and the containment of the progression of the disease and strengthen the public health system.”

Royal Decree 463/2020 enables the Minister of Health “to dictate the orders, resolutions, provisions and interpretive instructions that, within their scope of action as a delegated authority, are necessary to guarantee the provision of all services, ordinary or extraordinary, in order to protect of people, goods and places, through the adoption of any of the measures provided for in article eleven of Organic Law 4/1981, of June 1, of the states of alarm, exception and site.”

Furthermore, order SND/351/2020 gave the Spanish Ministry of Health the supreme and unlimited power to activate the Spanish Armed Forces and Military Emergency Units to deploy biocide chemicals over the citizens. Health Minister Salvador Illa Roca used these new powers to “dictate” medical experiments over the entire population, using the military as a tool in accordance with article 15.3 of Organic Law 5/2005, of the National defense.

Spain has a history of using “aerial media” to modify the weather

Spain had previously adopted procedures to spray the entire population with chemicals. The UNE-EN 14476 standard authorizes the Ministry of Health to prepare a list of virucidal chemicals, antiseptics and disinfectants. The Royal decree calls for the Ministry of Health to activate “aerial media” and “aerial disinfection techniques” to be deployed during an emergency. The techniques include nebulization, thermos nebulization and micro nebulization, with the stated goal of reaching “all surfaces” in the country. The CBRN defense units inside the Armed Forces and Military Unit of Emergencies are already equipped to deploy these materials and carry out nationwide aerial disinfectant procedures.

These actions are typically referred to as “conspiracy theory” even though Spain has previously been used as a testing ground for chemtrails that include lead dioxide, silver iodide and diatomite. These chemtrail operations were used in 2015 to engineer the climate. The cocktail increases local temperatures and pushes moisture out of the sky to create conditions conducive for tourism. MEP Ramon Tremosa Balcells testified to the European Parliament on May 19, 2015 that workers from the State Meteorological Agency reported planes spreading the toxic chemicals across Spain.

US Taxpayers Spent Billions Inflating CEO Pay

A tight labor market created a rare moment of leverage for low-wage workers last year. But Corporate America took no great leap forward on pay equity.

A new Institute for Policy Studies report, “Executive Excess 2022,” reveals how low-wage corporations have continued to pump up CEO pay during the pandemic while workers are struggling with rising costs.

The report zeroes in on compensation trends at the 300 publicly held U.S. corporations that reported the lowest median worker wages in 2020. At over a third of these firms — 106 in all — median worker pay either fell or failed to rise above the 4.7 percent average U.S. inflation rate in 2021.

By contrast, CEO pay at these same 300 low-wage firms soared 31 percent to an average of $10.6 million. This stunning increase drove the average gap between CEO and median worker pay at these companies to 670-to-1, up from 604-to-1 in 2020. At 49 of the 300 firms, pay ratios topped 1,000-to-1.

Amazon’s new CEO, Andy Jassy, raked in $212.7 million last year, making him the highest-paid CEO in our corporate low-wage sample. Jassy’s pay amounts to 6,474 times the $32,855 take-home of Amazon’s typical worker.

Of the 106 companies in our sample where median worker pay did not keep pace with inflation, 67 blew a combined total of $43.7 billion on stock buybacks. This financial maneuver inflates executive stock-based pay and drains capital from worker raises, R&D, and other productivity-boosting investments.

Corporate America’s perverse pay practices become even more disturbing when we consider another often overlooked reality: Ordinary Americans are supporting our inequitable corporate economic order through the hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded contracts and subsidies that flow every year to for-profit businesses.

Of the 300 companies in our sample, 40 percent received federal contracts totaling $37.2 billion over the past few years.

CEO pay apologists regularly argue that corporate leaders deserve their massive compensation packages because they bear enormous responsibilities and must take extraordinary risks.

This argument quickly falls apart when we compare CEOs at major contractors with the government officials ultimately responsible for their contracts.

The U.S. secretary of defense, for instance, manages the country’s largest workforce — more than 2 million employees — and makes life-and-death decisions on a daily basis. And yet the defense secretary and other Biden cabinet members make just $221,400 per year, less than three times as much as the $76,668 average federal employee annual pay.

By contrast, at the low-wage contractors we studied, CEO pay averaged $11.8 million and the average CEO-worker pay ratio sat at 571-to-1 in 2021.

Top Pelosi Staffer Registered As ‘Foreign Agent’ to Lobby For Chinese State Media Outlet

Brendan Daly, former Communications Director for Nancy Pelosi and a political appointee of the Obama administration, is a registered foreign agent who provided the Chinese Communist Party’s premier state-run media outlet China Central Television Network with “strategic counsel” as it expanded into the United States, The National Pulse can reveal.

During his tenure as Executive Vice President at Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, Daly secured a contract between the lobbying behemoth and China Central Television Network (CCTV).

Specifically, the firm helped the state-run propaganda outfit CCTV expand into American homes by “providing strategic counsel, identify relevant parties to communications activities, and media relations to support the launch of CCTV America.”

“Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide will work with CCTV America to communicate to the American public that CCTV America will provide compelling, comprehensive, and balanced news programming from an Asian perspective that is relevant to a global audience,” the 2012 filing in accordance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) noted.

Per CCTV’s FARA registration, however, the outlet is “supervised, owned, directed, controlled, financed, and subsidized” entirely by the Chinese Communist Party.

Email correspondence from Daly identifies him as taking the lead on the account, as he spoke with CCTV’s American representative on the phone.

He also provided the outlet with a memo detailing Ogilvy’s strategy on the count, detailing how to best bridge the gap between American homes and Chinese Communist Party propaganda:

The J6 Inquisition Is An Obvious Soviet-Style Show Trial

The House Select Committee on Jan. 6 launched the public phase of its proceedings Thursday night in a prime-time hearing with all the fanfare of a Soviet show trial, complete with production assistance from a former president of ABC News.

Just as the communists gathered in Moscow between 1936 and 1938 to purge their political opponents in public show trials, nine members of the lower chamber filed into the Cannon House Office Building to demonize their political opponents as domestic enemies.

“I’m from a part of the country where people justify the actions of slavery, Ku Klux Klan, and lynching,” Chairman Bennie Thompson of Mississippi said in his opening. “I’m reminded of that dark history as I hear voices today try and justify the actions of the insurrectionists on January 6th, 2021.”

Thompson went on the brand today’s political opposition as modern-day Confederates and “domestic enemies of the Constitution,” cloaking his own authoritarian admonishment under the moral righteousness of preserving American democracy.

“The world is watching what we do here,” Thompson said. “America has long been expected to be shining city on the hill, a beacon of hope and freedom, a model for others when we are at our best.”

The hearing, however, possessed all the signature hallmarks of the infamous Moscow Trials nearly 100 years ago, in which opponents to Joseph Stalin’s regime were hauled before the public and charged with treason and sedition. And those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 are far from the only targets of the witch hunt spearheaded by Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Thompson.

Legitimate political opposition on Thursday was absent from the hearings. No counternarrative was allowed by the regime, which barred the opposing party’s selected representatives as every cable network except Fox News carried the programming live. Members conducting the show trial accused their opponents of conspiracy to topple the U.S. government, just as the Soviets accused Old Bolshevik leaders of plans to terminate Stalin. Never mind that American institutions held on Jan. 6, and the federal government came nowhere close to collapse when congressional proceedings were interrupted.

The trials in Moscow culminated in the “Great Purge” of dissidents to the incumbent regime, with defendants given death sentences. The Jan. 6 proceedings are aimed at the ultimate purge of former President Donald Trump and his supporters, albeit through societal exile and jail sentences as opposed to execution. According to whistleblowers in the FBI, a purge within the federal law enforcement agency has already begun.

On Tuesday, Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray detailing allegations of multiple whistleblowers who reported they were terminated for their dissident (conservative) views from the agency.

“[He is a] decorated Iraqi War veteran being run out of the FBI,” Jordan said on Fox News Tuesday night of one whistleblower. “His allegiance to the country is being questioned because he had the gall to say something that offended the FBI leadership about the Jan. 6 investigation.”

January 6 Committee Leaks Trump’s Alleged Seven-Part Plan to Overturn Election, Stay in Power

The House Democrat-dominated January 6 committee, which includes two Never-Trump Republicans - Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, held a prime time televised hearing on Thursday to make the case to Americans that the Capitol riots were part of a sophisticated plot by the sitting president to illegally overturn the November 2020 election.

The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol has leaked a summary of what neoconservative Republican Liz Cheney referred to as President Trump’s “seven-part plan” to remain in power.

“President Donald Trump’s intention was to remain president of the United States despite the lawful outcome of the 2020 election and in violation of his constitutional obligation to relinquish power,” Cheney said in her opening statement Thursday. “Over multiple months, Donald Trump oversaw and coordinated a sophisticated seven-part plan to overturn the presidential election and prevent the transfer of presidential power. In our hearings, you will see evidence of each element of this plan,” Cheney said in her opening statement.

Cheney, daughter of former vice president Dick Cheney, provided no further information regarding this plan in Thursday's hearing.

However, a House Select Committee source leaked a summary of the alleged plan to CNN.

Among its points are number one: “a massive effort” by Trump “to spread false and fraudulent information to the American public claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him,” and number two: a plan to “corruptly” replace the acting attorney general to get the Department of Justice to support his election-related allegations.

Point number three reportedly included “corruptly” pressuring Vice President Mike Pence “to refuse to count certified electoral votes,” in potential violation of the US constitution, and four: “corruptly” pressuring state election officials and legislators to change election results in their constituencies.

“President Trump’s legal team and other Trump associates” also “instructed Republicans” in some states to “create false electoral slates” (i.e. electors of the electoral college votes which determine the outcome of national elections) “and transmit those slates to Congress and the National Archives,” the summary alleged.

‘People Involved Must be Held Accountable’ – Hillary Clinton Pops Off About January 6 Show Trial

Hillary Clinton popped off about the January 6 hearing and said people involved in the “criminal conspiracy” which “culminated in the attempted coup” must be held accountable.

Hillary should sit this one out.

Thursday night’s production was straight out of the Hugo Chavez playbook.

Last night the communist regime running the US House of Representatives ensured that all major media outlets share their show trials to the American people.

Hillary Clinton praised the Maoist show trials.

Of course she did.

“It’s pretty simple: We have a right to choose our own leaders. We can’t let anyone take that right away from us. The people involved in the criminal conspiracy to overturn the will of America’s voters—which culminated in the attempted coup of January 6—must be held accountable,” Clinton said.

First Monkeypox Case Confirmed in US Military Service Member: Spokesperson

A U.S. military member based in Germany has been identified as the Armed Forces’ first known case of monkeypox, according to a spokesperson.

Captain William Speaks, a spokesperson for European Command, told CNN that the active-duty service member at a base in Stuttgart “recently tested positive for monkeypox,” a virus related to smallpox that has been found in several European countries, Canada, Australia, the United States, and elsewhere.

“The individual was seen and treated at the Stuttgart Army Health clinic and is currently in isolation recovering in their quarters off-base,” Speaks said.

Authorities have determined that the single case presents a “very low” risk to the general population, Speaks said. “As a precautionary measure,” he added, “contact tracing is being done for clinic staff who interacted with the patient. The case in Stuttgart is of the West African strain, which is generally mild and human-to-human transmission is limited.”

Monkeypox, which is endemic to several African nations, primarily spreads via an infected individual’s bodily fluids or pox-like lesions. It can also spread via contaminated materials including bedding, clothing, and linens, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which recently raised its travel alert over the virus.

As of Thursday, the CDC has reported 45 confirmed or probable cases in 15 states and Washington, D.C., over the past several months. Worldwide, more than 1,350 confirmed or probable cases have been found in about three dozen countries, with most occurring in the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Canada, according to the CDC.

Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s New Investment Firm Deepens His Ties to the U.S. Military

Perhaps most interesting is Schmidt’s connection to AFF CEO Gilman Louie. Louie was one of 15 commissioners on the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI), where Schmidt was chair. From 2018 to 2021, the commission developed policy recommendations on how AI could be used to promote US national security. Their work was influential; the Department of Defense has adopted several of its recommendations. Poulson noted that Schmidt’s work on the AI commission could be summed up as “government-sanctioned lobbying.”

Louie’s past experience is likely useful for AFF’s ambitions. He was the first CEO of In-Q-Tel, the CIA venture capital firm that uses agency funding to invest in promising new tech that could be applied to the intelligence sector, whose structure AFF appears to be imitating. In-Q-Tel’s potential conflicts of interest have been well publicized. “More than half its trustees were alleged to have had financial ties to the companies in which the fund invested,” Paul said.

Now observers are concerned that AFF’s board of directors could have similar financial ties with companies it invests in, and that this will create rife opportunities for conflicts of interest. Schmidt is a major funder of tech and defense startups, with a special interest in AI. He’s an investor and chair of Sandbox AQ, an AI software development company spun off from Google’s parent company, Alphabet — and In-Q-Tel recently announced it was backing Sandbox AQ, saying it hopes to eventually sell the software to US intelligence agencies.

New Bill to Boost Missile Defense for Israel & Arab Partners, Citing Alleged Iran Threat

Lawmakers with the bipartisan Abraham Accords Caucus have introduced a bill in the House and Senate that will require the Pentagon to coordinate missile defense upgrades for Israel and several newfound Arab allies, pointing to potential “attacks from Iran.”

Unveiled on Thursday, the Deterring Enemy Forces and Enabling National Defenses (DEFEND) Act would instruct the secretary of defense to “develop an acquisition approach” to improve anti-air weapons for a number of Middle Eastern states, among them Israel, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt and the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council.

The legislation will aim to “implement an integrated and missile defense capability to protect the people, infrastructure and territory of such countries from cruise and ballistic missiles, manned and unmanned aerial systems and rocket attacks from Iran and groups linked to Iran.”

If passed, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will be required to submit a report to Congress within 180 days on the current defense capabilities of the states in question and how they could be improved.

Announced by Republican Senator Joni Ernst, the bill marks the first piece of legislation brought by the Abraham Accords Caucus, a bipartisan bloc within the House and Senate created to “build on the success” of a series of agreements struck between Israel and Arab nations starting in 2020. The senator claimed the law would help to contain Iranian proxy groups, which she said were targeting innocent civilians and “pose a persistent threat to our homeland.”

Though Ernst acknowledged most Americans are fed up with decades of armed intervention in the Middle East, she argued that “radical Islamic terror” continues to menace the United States, saying terrorism “can only be deterred and denied if American allies and partners in the Middle East step up and take on the threat posed by Iran.”

According to Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen, the bill has the endorsement of several pro-Israel groups and hawkish think tanks, including the Anti-Defamation League, AIPAC, the American Jewish Committee, CUFI Action, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), the American Jewish Congress, the Atlantic Council and the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA).

In backing the legislation, the neoconservative-leaning FDD said Washington should “continue to initiate, develop and enhance military to military relationships between the US, Israel and other US allies and partners in the region” as an “extension” of the Abraham Accords.

Kicked off with a US-brokered normalization deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates in 2020, the Accords have since been joined by Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco and Sudan, each agreeing to establish diplomatic and economic ties with Tel Aviv after decades of enmity.

Though the new bill is largely concerned with Iran, some countries slated to receive increased US military assistance have been accused of backing jihadist militant groups in the past, chief among them Saudi Arabia. Few of the 10 states named in the law could qualify as democracies, moreover, putting it at odds with President Joe Biden’s frequent lip service to the importance of ‘democratic values.’

Ezra Miller accused of grooming activist since she was 12, parents say 'Flash' star manipulated young daughter with 'cult-like' behavior, drugs, and threats of violence

Actor Ezra Miller is being accused of grooming a young environmental activist by using 'cult-like' behavior, drugs, and threats of violence. The parents of the alleged victim claim Miller began grooming their daughter at age 12, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. However, the alleged victim declared that her "comrade Ezra Miller" has "only provided loving support and invaluable protection."

Attorney and activist Chase Iron Eyes and his pediatrician wife Sara Jumping Eagle filed court documents against Miller. They accused the 29-year-old Hollywood actor of "psychologically manipulating, physically intimidating, and endangering the safety and welfare" of their now-18-year-old daughter. In the documents filed in Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Court, the parents also alleged Miller of being "physically and emotionally abusing" to their daughter – Tokata Iron Eyes.

The parents say that Miller met Tokata during the 2016 Standing Rock Reservation protests in North Dakota – where environmentalists railed against the Dakota Access Pipeline. At the time, she was 12 and Miller was 23.

"Miller came to the Standing Rock Reservation in 2016 and established contact with Tokata Iron Eyes under the pretense of assisting the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe during the NoDAPL movement," the court documents read, according to Entertainment Weekly.

"Ezra Miller took an immediate and apparently innocent liking to Tokata Iron Eyes and began to formulate relations with Tokata; Ezra flew Tokata Iron Eyes and other Standing Rock tribal members to London, United Kingdom (to tour the "Harry Potter - Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them" studio in which Ezra Miller played a significant character) in December 2017 where Miller attempted to sleep in the same bed as Tokata Iron Eyes who was 14 years old at that time," the documents allege.

The court filing claims Miller was "prevented from sleeping in the same bed with Tokata at that time by a chaperone."

The parents claimed that the "Flash" star exhibited a "pattern of corrupting a minor" by supplying Tokata alcohol and drugs like marijuana and LSD as a teen.

The legal filing claimed that the "Fantastic Beasts" actor offered to pay for Tokata to attend Bard College at Simon's Rock in Massachusetts at the age of 16. The parents claimed Miller "would later use this against Tokata to create a sense of indebtedness."

The parents alleged that Tokata dropped out of Bard College in December, then traveled to Miller's Vermont home in January.

The court docs stated that Tokata returned home and spent three weeks "detoxifying." Tokata then traveled with Miller to New York City, Los Angeles, and Hawaii.

The parents say that Tokata doesn't have a driver's license, bank cards, or keys – which they believe is preventing their daughter from acting on her own accord.

The complaint stated that Miller displays "cult-like and psychologically manipulative, controlling behavior," according to People magazine. The parents said Miller "uses violence, intimidation, threat of violence, fear, paranoia, delusions and drugs to hold sway over a young adolescent Tokata."

Uvalde Police Chief Breaks Silence 2 Weeks After Shooting: 'People Who Just Don't Know the Whole Story' Are Making 'Assumptions'

The police chief of the Uvalde, Texas, school district, Pete Arredondo, defended his handling of the May 24 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.

Many individuals “who just don’t’ know the whole story” were “making their assumptions on what they’re’ hearing or reading,” Arredondo told The Texas Tribune in an interview published Thursday.

On May 24, 18-year-old gunman Salvador Rolando Ramos walked into Robb Elementary School carrying a semi-automatic rifle. Ramos opened fire, killing 19 children and two adults and wounding several others until Border Patrol agents killed him.

That it was a team of Border Patrol agents who shot the gunman and not police officers who were present much earlier at the scene raised questions about what the local police department did during the incident.

The director of Texas’ Department of Public Safety, Stephen McCraw, confirmed to journalists in a news conference later that week that there was a 40-minute delay in officers’ response to the gunman.

“The on-scene commander at the time believed that it had transitioned from an active shooter to a barricaded subject,” McCraw said, calling the decision to wait for backup and not directly engage the shooter “a wrong decision.”

Although McCraw did not name Arredondo as the specific “on-scene commander” that day, multiple reports identified him as the “incident commander” during the shooting.

Arredondo told the Tribune that he did not consider himself to be the incident commander that day. The chief, however, said he and his colleagues were willing to confront the shooter, pushing back against criticism of cowardice.

“The only thing that was important to me at this time was to save as many teachers and children as possible,” Arredondo said, according to the Tribune.

“Not a single responding officer ever hesitated, even for a moment, to put themselves at risk to save the children,” Arredondo said. “We responded to the information that we had and had to adjust to whatever we faced. Our objective was to save as many lives as we could, and the extraction of the students from the classrooms by all that were involved saved over 500 of our Uvalde students and teachers before we gained access to the shooter and eliminated the threat.”

The 40-minute delay in officers’ response, according to Arredondo, was because officers needed to find the key to the classroom door, which was “reinforced with a hefty steel jamb, designed to keep an attacker on the outside from forcing their way in,” so they could not open the door by simply kicking it in, Arredondo said, according to the Tribune.

Hence, Arredondo and his colleagues spent about an hour in the school’s hallways, waiting for the keys and tactical gear. Arredondo asked officers to back off from near the door for 40 minutes to avoid provoking gunfire from Ramos, the chief told the Tribune.

Washington Commanders Fine Defensive Coach Jack Del Rio $100,000 for Calling January 6 Capitol Riot a “Dust Up” Compared to George Floyd Riots

The Washington Commanders NFL team (formerly the Redskins), fined defensive coach Jack Del Rio $100,000 Friday for comments earlier this week in which he called the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot a “dust up” as compared to the nationwide George Floyd riots in late spring and summer of 2020.

Del Rio initially commented on the riots in a tweet Monday night on the January 6 Congressional committee, “Would love to understand “the whole story “ about why the summer of riots, looting, burning and the destruction of personal property is never discussed but this is ???

#CommonSense”

Would love to understand “the whole story “ about why the summer of riots, looting, burning and the destruction of personal property is never discussed but this is ???#CommonSense

— Jack Del Rio (@coachdelrio) June 7, 2022

Del Rio explained his comment during a Commanders press conference on Wednesday:

Oh, if they are (if the players are upset) and, and they want to talk about it, I’d talk about it with anybody, no problem, at any time. But they’re not. I’m just expressing myself, and I think we all as Americans have a right to express ourselves, especially if you’re being respectful. I’m being respectful.

I just asked a simple question. Really, did I, let’s get right down to it, what did I ask? A simple question. Why are we not looking into those things. If we’re going to talk about it, why are we not looking into those things? Cuz it’s kinda hard for me to say. I can realistically look at it, I see the images on the TV: People’s livelihoods are being destroyed, businesses are being burned down, no problem. And then we have a dustup at the Capitol, nothing burned down, and we’re not gonna talk about, we’re going to make that a major deal. I just think it’s kind of two standards and if we apply the same standard and we’re going to be reasonable with each other, let’s have a discussion. That’s all it was. Let’s have a discussion. We’re Americans, let’s talk it through. I’m for, I’m for us, you know, having a great opportunity to have a fulfilled life. Like I said every which way I can when I’m here it’s about love and respect. I love my guys, I respect my guys, but I also love the fact that I’m an American and that means I’m free to express myself and I’m not afraid to do that.

Del Rio tweeted an apology later on Wednesday:

“I made comments earlier today in referencing the attack that took place on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. Referencing that situation as a dust-up was irresponsible and negligent and I am sorry. I stand by my comments condemning violence in communities across the country. I say that while also expressing my support as an American citizen for peaceful protest in our country. I have fully supported all peaceful protests in America. I love, respect, and support all my fellow coaches, players, and staff that I work with and respect their views and opinions.”

The title of this submission is actually a search request put to Google.

It seems to this writer that the hearings of the Jan. 6 House Select Committee are a desperate attempt by the deep state, including Democrat officials and their media allies, to brainwash the American people into delegitimizing the Republican Party. The search request was intended to bring up like-minded commentaries. Here are the first few search results to this query:

Not one of these results mentions "brainwashing."

But note how the results reflect that deep state party line on the Jan. 6 hearings.

What hath the Google algorithm wrought – on the matter of brainwashing the American people into regarding the GOP with fear and loathing? To put to Google a search request facially critical of the Pelosi Inquisition Panel is to bring forth results that view favorably the effort of this exercise in political brainwashing, with one result bringing up a smiling image of Rep. Jamie Raskin, a leading perpetrator of this attempt at mind-numbing a hitherto free people.

In view of the most curious Google result for a search request on "brainwashing" by the "Jan. 6" House Select Committee, Google should show cause why the public should not conclude that it is the target of the deep state's program of using the Democrat party to deceive the American people into accepting the "ambitious sacrifice of the many to the aggrandizement of the few" (citing the words of James Madison in the opening line to Federalist Paper No. 57.)

David Brooks, in his New York Times column of June 9 provided another example of deceit by a member in good standing of the deep state.

The column was called "The Jan. 6 Committee Has Already Blown it," The fourth paragraph sought to dismiss political use of Jan. 6 as being "small-minded and likely to be ineffective." But reading on, one finds this Brooks view of the GOP – "a predatory semi-democratic faction." His column closes with a call to focus "on the broad social conditions that threaten to bring American democracy to its knees."

Republicans should not doubt that David Brooks hopes, with all the hate-spewing fanaticism he can muster that the "Jan. 6" propaganda campaign will destroy the "predatory" Republican Party. When he suggests that the current persecutorial hearings will fail to crush the GOP, more likely he speaks as one who is convinced that if he seems to predict defeat, he will be rewarded with achieving his (invidious) aims.

James Madison indicated in Federalist No. 57 that he was confident that the American spirit of liberty would stymie the self-indulgent class that sought the "ambitious sacrifice of the many to the aggrandizement of the few."
