Jared Kushner Under Fire for Not Supporting Ron DeSantis Political Use of Texas Alien Transfers

 

September 23, 2022 | Sundance |

 

The DeSantis Crew, formerly the 2016 Cruz Crew, is up in arms over a selectively edited soundbite from Jared Kusher, President Trump’s son-in-law. {Direct Rumble Link}

 

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis went shopping for South American aliens at an El Paso migrant processing facility in Texas. The DeSantis people took the aliens to a hotel with plans to fly them to Delaware, Joe Biden’s home state. However, facing backlash over the legality of spending Florida funds on a previous operation to move Texas migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, the DeSantis team abandoned the recruited Venezuelan aliens at the hotel, leaving them confused and stranded.

 

Jared Kushner noted in a Fox appearance that he did not like the approach of recruiting, manipulating and using arriving aliens as political pawns. Immediately the DeSantis supporters pulled an 8-second soundbite from a one-hour Fox News appearance and proclaimed Kusher was criticizing Ron DeSantis, which in the world view of Team DeSantis makes Kushner an enemy. However, the full statement with context is not controversial at all, and in my opinion Kusher is correct. WATCH:

 

The fact that Ron DeSantis sent people to Texas to recruit aliens from an El Paso processing facility with the promise of a flight to Delaware, then abandoned them when the political heat started, literally leaving them at the hotel confused and waiting for a bus that never arrived, shows the operation itself was using aliens as “political pawns,” and it is unseemly.

 

The DeSantis people can try to spin this against Kushner, but the outrage should really be toward the people working for DeSantis who pulled this stunt.

Checkbook Economics, Household Expenses Rise $961 Per Month, $11,532/yr, While Incomes Remain Flat

 

September 22, 2022 | Sundance |

With most financial media being intentionally obtuse with the Biden economic impact upon Main Street, it is refreshing to see analysis that cuts to the heart of the matter. HatTip to ZeroHedgewho provides a link to a great articleoutlining reality for blue and white-collar working families.

 

The folks at NerdWallet have taken the inflation date from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) and applied the math to real life. The result is a good encapsulation of checkbook economics and how the Biden economy is painful for the working class.

 

In total, Joe Biden’s energy policy driven inflation has added $961/month to preexisting expenses. That’s $11,532 a year just to retain the status quo standard of living.

 

(NerdWallet) – […] In all of 2020, American households spent $61,300, on average. This number includes everything we spend our money on: housing, food, entertainment, clothing, transportation and everything else. In 2022, it stands to reach $72,900, a difference of more than $11,500 if consumers want to maintain the same standard of living. Keep in mind, this is an average, a number that represents an approximation across all Americans, but one that’s exact to a very few. Those who earn (and therefore spend) more will see more dramatic dollar increases. Those who earn less may see less dramatic dollar jumps, but the impact of these rising prices could be more significantly felt. (read more)

 

If the average household spent $61,300 and inflation is adding $11,500 to the expense, that means we now have to spend 18.7% more just to maintain the current standard of living. That average is in line with what we are seeing in the real world.

FBI Whistleblower Spoke Out After Bureau Brass Forced Agents to Raid Homes of American Patriots for Crossing Invisible Boundary Outside US Capitol

 

As The Gateway Pundit reported last October, retired Green Beret Jeremy Brown was arrested in Florida for attending the Jan. 6 protests and standing outside of the US Capitol.

 

Breaking: FBI Arrests Retired Green Beret Jeremy Brown for Attending Jan. 6 Protests and Standing Outside Capitol — AFTER HE REFUSED TO BE THEIR INFORMANT!

 

The FBI had attempted to recruit Jeremy Brown as an operative to work the Jan. 6 protests for them.

 

In their arrest affidavit that American hero Jeremy Brown was arrested only because he was standing outside the US Capitol on January 6th.

 

The FBI and Biden DOJ even released a new map that shows anyone who was standing near the US Capitol on January 6th can now be arrested. This is a new maneuver for the Corrupt FBI and DOJ.

 

They are now arresting anyone who stood within hundreds of feet near the US Capitol.

 

The Capitol was not marked that day when the protesters arrived and the protesters were NEVER warned that they were in an “illegal space.”

 

This is the two-tiered US Justice system at its finest.

 

The Justice Department explained in its peculiar arrest affidavit for Brown, an Army Green Beret veteran and Oath Keeper associate, that anyone who set foot anywhere in a giant swath of land ranging from the Capitol’s West side lawn to its East side promenade is technically guilty of trespassing:

 

Under ordinary circumstances, these “grounds” are open to the public, not “restricted.” But because law enforcement erected some police barriers and fencing there on January 6—barriers that were all but removed before most of the attendees even arrived at the Capitol—thousands of Trump supporters unknowingly crossed an imaginary Maginot Line.

 

To give you an idea how large of space this is — Here is a map showing the distance from one side of the restricted area to the other side of the US Capitol restricted area is nearly half a mile.

 

The Trump protesters had NO IDEA this was restricted space.

There were no signs or warnings from officials that it was illegal to be standing nearly a quarter-mile from the US Capitol on the one side.

 

On Thursday New York Post reporter Miranda Devine told Steve Bannon that one of the reasons FBI whistleblower Steve Friend spoke out against the bureau was because they were starting to arrest American patriots who crossed the invisible FBI line drawn around the US Capitol on January 6.

 

This interview with Steve Bannon was riveting.

Massie and Gaetz demand answers on Epps in heated Congressional hearing… what is Raskin hiding?

 

Last week, Arizona representative Paul Gosar issued a Resolution of Inquiry demanding that Attorney General Merrick Garland turn over all documents relevant to infamous Jan 6 participant and suspected federal asset Ray Epps.

Representative Thomas Massie, who has been instrumental in bringing the Ray Epps scandal to national attention, led a debate in Congress yesterday on whether Merrick Garland should make the Ray Epps documents available to Congress and the American people.

Just in case the reader needs a refresher on the as-of-yet- unindicted Ray Epps’ behavior on January 5th and 6th, the following video should serve as a useful refresher:

Massie opened up the case for transparency on Epps as follows:

Then, in the middle of the proceeding, severely low-IQ and potentially sub-literate Congressman Mondaire Jones took it upon himself to repeat the discredited blood libel that Officer Brian Sicknick was bludgeoned to death by MAGA rioters on January 6th.

This particularly heinous lie is something that Revolver News dispelled over a year ago, forcing the New York Times to correct their reporting not once, but twice.

America First congressman Matt Gaetz wasn’t having any of it, and quickly stepped in to address Congressman Jones’ false blood libel.

The hearing then resumed with Massie asking the obvious and most damning question. That is, why are the Democrats so singularly incurious about getting to the bottom of the Ray Epps scandal—indeed, Epps is the only person caught on camera, in advance, encouraging a plan to storm the Capitol. This is a plan that Epps evidently followed through with, as he continually directed crowds to the Capitol on January 6 before Epps himself skipped Trump’s speech to participate (if not actively coordinate) the first an decisive initial assault on the Capitol’s West perimeter

After Revolver News definitely proved that the FBI is withholding critical surveillance footage of the alleged January 6 pipe bomber planting the pipe bomb outside of the Democrat National Committee Headquarters, why aren’t the Democrats demanding the footage? Why aren’t the Democrats at all interested in uncovering the identity of the terrorist who planted a bomb right outside their own national headquarters?

Not only are the Democrats singularly uninterested in Ray Epps, in one remarkable exchange in yesterday’s hearing Rep Raskin, who sits on the corrupt and discredited January 6 Committee, seemed to suggest he didn’t even know who Ray Epps was! Keep in mind that the whole hearing concerned getting documents related to Ray Epps.

Of course, there’s a reason the Democrats are not interested in Ray Epps or in the Pipe Bomber. They know not to ask questions about these things because the answers are dark, and point in explosive directions that would be devastating to both the democrats and their allies in the national security establishment. Indeed, Ray Epps and the Pipe Bomb situation are the smoking guns of the entire Fedsurrection hoax that the Democrats have been shoving down the American people’s throats as a pretext to weaponize the national security and law enforcement apparatus against Trump and his supporters.

Accordingly, the Democrats and their allies in the FBI and the media would like nothing more than for patriotic Americans to simply forget about Ray Epps and forget about the Pipe Bomber. They would like nothing more than for the American people’s attention span to get swept away in the pointless phantasmagoria of the daily frivolous news cycle — AOC wore a tight dress! Dementia Biden just shat himself again! In short, they are counting on you to behave like the dumb cattle they think you are and to simply move on.

Moving on, however, is simply not an option. The more they try to sweep the Fedsurrection scandal under the rug, the greater will be the intensity of our focus and strength of our resolve to carry this investigation to its ultimate conclusion.

Revolver is not going anywhere, and we have two game changing investigative reports coming in the very near future. Christopher Wray is not going to like these next pieces. Strap in and stay tuned.

This portion on the post below meansthey are still hiding Ray Epps, Epps had been an Oath Keeper in the past and the J6 Attorneys know this. How many prior oath keepers or FBI agents that joined Oath Keepers are they covering for?

 

From the post

“The government also notified the attorneys that they are issuing a protective order for their operatives they ran inside the organization on January 6.”

Attorney Jonathon Moseley, who represents Stewart Rhodes, told The Gateway Pundit on Thursday evening that this was the first time the government admitted to his team that their were government operatives inside the Oath Keepers organization.

From today’s motion the government seeks toprevent the defense attorneys from asking about any other investigations or operations the confidential human sources have been involved in.

The government also seeks to keep the identity of these confidential human sources private from the American public.

The Highly Guarded “Dark Truth” Buried Beneath the Martha’s Vineyard Saga

1 of 2

 

We might as well be blunt about it: flying a few dozen Venezuelans to Martha’s Vineyard isn’t going to save America. But it does show how America really works.

 

Sure, it’s definitely hilarious to watch America’s repulsive elite class indulge in some of the most egregious hypocrisy in living memory. From the moment the first Venezuelan stepped onto the tarmac of the Vineyard the wealthy, safe, isolated (some might say ‘privileged’) denizens of the Vineyard went into a panic. In Facebooks and groupchats, they quickly began to feud over whose job it was to rent out their homes to illegals, gratis.

 

Media allies compared a short sojourn in vacationland to the Holocaust.

 

The state of Massachusetts called out the National Guard (at an almost 3:1 ratio!) to round up the invaders and ship them at a military base in Cape Cod.

 

And that, probably, is where the story will end. This is a stunt. While it is deeply entertaining to see liberal elites go into hypocritical hysterics, the truth is that sending more migrants will be difficult or impossible. And, in the end, fifty migrants is a drop in the ocean. About 2.1 million illegal immigrants will be detained by the Border Patrol in the 2021-22 fiscal year. The fifty people shipped to Martha’s Vineyard are the equivalent of just twelve minutes’ worth of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

 

Still, the Martha’s Vineyard hoopla, and especially the elite left’s response to it, underscores the dark and existential truth that modern mass migration is no mere symbol. It is a powerful weapon used for the permanent transformation, destruction, desolation, and conquest of enemy cities, enemy cultures, and enemy nations. And more importantly, now everybody knows it.

 

It is worth observing that all the normal saccharine rhetoric about immigration and diversity was totally absent from the spat over the Martha’s Vineyard migrants. There is absolutely no conceit about the migrants “enriching” their community, redeeming them through “vibrancy” or diversity. Instead, the migrants are universally recognized as useless, a burden for whatever town is afflicted with them. One may engage in virtue signaling by making a show of “welcoming” them, but nobody wants them hanging around permanently. Already, the first migrant given an in-depth profile by The New York Times appears to have been a drug dealer in his home country.

 

Such a person provides no economic or cultural or cultural value. Instead, his “merit” is exclusively political.

 

While the Martha’s Vineyard spat unfolded, America’s Dementia-Patient-in-Chief attended the 45th Congressional Hispanic Congress and,in his doddering blabbermouth sort of way, revealed what is afoot(timestamped):

 

Everybody understands the stakes here. The only purpose of the migrants is to serve as political cannon fodder to turn Texas and Florida blue and demographically bury America’s fading legacy population. They are very much not intended to muck up the pleasant holdfasts of America’s elite….

In 2017, U.S. Army Major Nathan Steger notedthe evolving nature of migration in his paper“The Weaponization of Migration: Examining migration as a 21st century tool of political warfare”:

 

In today’s interconnected world, international migration continues to grow as migrants come from all around the globe in search of better lives for themselves and their families. … As globalization steadily diffuses international power and blurs the line between war and peace, human migration is becoming a viable weapon in the arsenal of many state and non-state actors pursuing unconventional means to increase regional influence and to achieve objectives.

 

Steger was wise, but sells short just how far-reaching his thesis should go. Almost all of his examples of weaponized migration are interstate, especially those referring to explicitly political dimensions. For instance, he notes that migration from China to Hong Kong, and more recently from mainland China to Taiwan, gives the PRC a viable “fifth column” for subverting the democratic process. But Steger stops short of stating the obvious: foreigners can be imported as a domestic “fifth column” for transforming a host country.

 

Elite progressives’ panicked reaction to DeSantis’s trolling is revealing of what they really think. For more than a decade, New York City has been sending its homeless on one-way trips to other states, cleaning up its streets by dumping its problems on others. But needless to say, progressives have not been the slightest bit charitable about other states imitating their tactics for even a single day. Rather than just sniping on TV or doing some counter-trolling of their own, the response of the left has been nuclear.

 

Even though the dispute involves the governor of Florida paying to fly migrants from Texas to Massachusetts, somehow Gov. Gavin Newsom of California saw a way to get involved. And, as befits the satrap of America’s worst state, Newsom’s response was as extreme as possible:

 

The Department of Justice has been tapped by California Governor Gavin Newsom to investigate whether Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s controversial decision to send two flights of migrants north would amount to “kidnapping”.

 

“I strongly urge the U.S. Department of Justice (US DOJ) to open an investigation into possible criminal or civil violationsof federal law based on this alleged fraudulent scheme,” Gov Newsom wrote in a 15 September letter addressed to US Attorney General Merrick Garland.

 

Others swiftly joined in.

 

Ron DeSantis trolled the elites, and in response they want him and his staff arrested for kidnapping and imprisoned for life. They know that they are fighting a civil war by other means, and they know that in war, one goes all out.

 

The only response, then, is to go all-out right back. That, in turn, means focusing on real strategic gains rather than stunts. Ideally, that would mean plugging the border entirely, but the Biden regime’s focus on keeping the border 100% open at all costs makes that a non-starter for now. A better medium-term play would be a non-stop stream of buses, without end, dumping migrants into San Francisco, D.C., Boston, and the like. Sure, some of that has already happened. But it should happen more. Flying fifty migrants to Martha’s Vineyard is hilarious. But busing fifty thousand to blue cities in blue states is better.

 

And if Merrick Garland actually listens to Gavin Newsom, and starts arresting people? Then be ready to start arresting right back.

I could only catch a small portion of the NYTs article below on this “unfortunate illegal criminal immigrant”, but revolver posted this picture of the guy anf what seems to be a warning that he’s a drug dealer and had been arrested.

 

So Trump is right again,they are emptying their prisonsand sending them here:

 

NYTs is always sympathetic and sorry to illegals because conservatives don’t want illegals here, but their wording in the article, is their sickness & hatred for America. These are the CRT and 1619 Project sympathizers. But the never think that all the white people at the NYTs will ever be harmed by illegals, or even know the illegals will turn on them one day. The phrase “useful idiots” applies to them and all media destroying America.

Migrants in Martha’s Vineyard

 

Ardenis Nazareth, newly arrived from Venezuela, was standing in a McDonald’s parking lot across the street from a San Antonio shelter a few days ago contemplating his next steps.

 

After a monthslong odyssey through seven countries he had finally made it to the United States. It was time to banish from his thoughts the worst moments — when he was robbed at gunpoint and people dropped dead of exhaustion beside him as they crossed a lawless jungle, and when he watched helplessly as his friend was swallowed by the turbulent waters of the Rio Grande, just before touching U.S. soil in Texas…

Masters Gets More Support After McConnell Dumps Opportunity To Help Pick Up Arizona Senate Seat

Tristan Justice @JusticeTristan

September 22, 2022

Arizona Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters is getting more help from independent, outside conservative groups after GOP Minority Leader Mitch McConnell abandoned the ripe opportunity for a pivotal pick-up to reclaim the majority.

The Frontiers of Freedom Action (FFA) super PAC dropped a new ad campaign this month defining Masters’s incumbent Democratic opponent as a left-wing creature of the beltway swamp who is key to President Joe Biden’s radical agenda.

The six-figure ad buy in the Phoenix media market highlights Sen. Mark Kelly’s role in a 50-50 chamber voting to introduce “shattering inflation” from runaway spending and high power prices from canceled energy projects. According to a tracker from FiveThirtyEight, Kelly has voted with President Biden more than 94 percent of the time, becoming one of the administration’s reliable allies in the split Senate.

The campaign from Frontiers of Freedom Action comes in the form of two ads: one running for two minutes, and another for 60 seconds.

George Landrith, the president of the super PAC, told The Federalist the ads were launched two weeks ago in response to McConnell’s decision to gut resources from one of the most competitive races this election cycle. In the last week of August, McConnell’s super PAC to reclaim the Senate majority, the Senate Leadership Fund, canceled nearly $8 million worth of ad buys set to boost Masters. The week prior, McConnell undermined Republicans in tight contests by complaining on Fox News that voters nominated poor candidates.

“We went in right after he pulled out,” Landrith said. “One, [Masters] can win, and two, he’s a fine candidate because he’s going to stand up for the things people believe in.”

During the Arizona Republican Senate primary, the venture capitalist candidate pledged not to support McConnell, now 80, for another term in GOP leadership.

On Wednesday, Axios revealedMcConnell would be slashing an additional $10 millionfrom the Arizona Senate race just more than a month from Election Day.

“The cancellations mean that the GOP’s leading super PAC won’t be spending any money in Arizona, one of the most closely watched Senate races in the country,” Axios reported, adding that McConnell’s allies are “confident other outside conservative groups will make up much of the difference.”

The $7.5 million tallied from outside groups compiled by Axios, however, remains far short of the $18 million now stricken from Republicans’ effort to pick up a vulnerable Senate seat from a state which, before Kelly, had not been represented by two Democrat senators since 1953. In 2020, President Biden carried Arizona by less than 11,000 votes. The latest major poll in the contest comes from the Trafalgar Group showing Kelly with only a two-point lead, with Masters within striking distance. The Trafalgar Group emerged as one of the most reliable pollsters of the prior two election cycles.

Landrith made clear his group was going to get involved in the Arizona Senate race regardless of the moves by Republican leadership, but called McConnell’s reliance on outside groups to bring Masters across the finish line a “shame.”

“If you don’t show up, you lose,” Landrith said. “We’re not going to do that. Blake Masters is going to be a great U.S. senator. We’re not going to leave him without help.”

After McConnell’s August cancellation of Arizona Senate ads, another independent super PAC affiliated with Heritage Action for America announced an infusion of $5 million into the race.

Jessica Anderson, the executive director of Heritage Action for America and president of the Sentinel Action Fund, told The Federalist her group’s spending spree was a “clarion call for the conservative movement to come and support this candidate.”

Beware Of Brain-Eating Amoebas And Lazy Journalists (But Mostly Lazy Journalists)

 

BY: DAVID HARSANYI

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022

 

Since we’re on the topic of media fearmongering, check out this chilling headline from The Guardian: “How the climate crisis is fueling the spread of a brain-eating amoeba.” The piece begins with the heartbreaking story of a Nebraska boy who may have died from Naegleria fowleri, a shape-shifting killer amoeba, after swimming in a lake. Naegleria fowleri grows in warm freshwater, “making it well-suited to proliferate as temperatures rise in the US,” warns the site.

 

Facing the prospect of never setting foot into another body of water again, I googled Naegleria fowleri and found a number of articles that repackaged the Guardian story, but ratcheted up the alarmism. “According to Scientists, a Brain-eating Amoeba Are Rapidly Spreading Due to Climate Change,” Nature World News warned. The British tabloid, The Mirror, says, “Deadly brain-eating amoeba sweeping the globe fuelled by climate crisis, experts warn.” None of these articles, or others like them, offer any scientific evidence to substantiate the contention that climate change is “fueling cases” of Naegleria fowleri or that Naegleria fowleri is “sweeping the globe” or “rapidly spreading,” or even that the amoeba is something any of us should spend time worrying about.

 

In the past decade,there have been only 31 cases of the brain-eating amoeba attacks in the United States. There have been 154 cases all told since 1962 (though one suspects the amoeba was more likely to go undetected or misdiagnosed in the past). In colder states, there are barely any cases, with Minnesota (and its 14,380 lakes) leading the way with two in the past 60 years. Our southern states already have warm water, and Naegleria fowleri is extremely rare there, as well. To put it in perspective, for every Naegleria fowleri death, hundreds of people have died falling out of trees, off ladders, and in bathtubs.

 

Deaths from Naegleria fowleri do not even rise to a rounding error in our death totals. Then again, climate has never been less dangerous to human beings than it is today. Of all the ways people die in this world, natural disasters account for only 0.1 percent of them. Deaths due to all climate have plummeted for decades, even as manmade carbon emissions have spiked. People like to point out that these positive trends are largely due to technological advances and adaptation. Yes. Acclimating to changes in climate, as we’ve been doing for 250,000 years or so, is often known as “progress.” Retrofitting the economy to comport with 1800s technology is the opposite.

 

But I get it. Anything tangentially related to weather is fodder for climate change hysteria, and nature provides journalists with a perpetual flow of gruesome copy—hurricanes, wildfires, floods, drought, and so on. And since you can get away with virtually anything in this genre of journalism, putting the words “climate crisis” in the vicinity of “brain-eating amoeba” was probably too much to pass up.

Vulnerable Democrats Refuse To Denounce Stacey Abrams’s Heartbeat Denialism

 

BY: JORDAN BOYD

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022

 

Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has new fodder to focus her serial denialism on, and this time she’s using it to justify her extremist abortion stance.

 

“There is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks,” Abrams claimed on Tuesday. “It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman’s body.”

 

It’s a completely false and outlandish claim that even Planned Parenthood, the top abortion supplier in the U.S., has previously debunked. Yet, it’s a widespread belief on the left that has not only seeped into corporate media such as The New York Times, NBC News, NPR, and Wiredbut also isn’t categorically denied by Democrats.

 

When asked by The Federalist whether they agree with Abrams that unborn babies don’t have heartbeats in early gestation, vulnerable Democrats such as Sens. Mark Kelly of Arizona, Michael Bennet of Colorado, Raphael Warnock of Georgia, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, and Patty Murray of Washington did not respond.

 

U.S. Senate candidates John Fetterman, Val Demings, and Tim Ryan also did not say whether they agreed with Abrams.

 

Much like Abrams — who is lagging 6.6 points behind incumbent Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp — Kelly, Bennet, Warnock, Cortez Masto, Hassan, Murray, Fetterman, Demings, and Ryan have all made their radical and deeply unpopular abortion policies a top campaign priority, even though they face increasingly tight midterm races.

 

Despite the repercussions a gamble like that could have on their re-election or election chances, Democrats aren’t backing down from supporting the grotesque abortion agenda that has taken over the blue party.

 

They think that promoting abortion through all nine months of pregnancy “will be vital to their political survival” come November but the left’s radical abortion agenda doesn’t sit well with a majority of Americans and roughly half of Democrat voters, who say they would limit abortion to the first trimester or before.

 

Democrats can deny that unborn babies have heartbeats but there’s no denying that their abortion radicalism is not as popular as they say it is.

A California judge is allowing a black entertainment group led by Byron Allen to continue their lawsuit against McDonalds for not spending enough money advertising with the network. The lawsuit alleges that McDonalds does not give enough of their advertising budget to black entertainment, therefore McDonalds is racist.

 

Byron Allen is suing McDonalds for $10 billion, demanding reparations from the fast-food chain for not spending enough advertising with his company.

 

There’s gold underneath those arches. On its face this looks like the extortion business model of Al Sharpton dressed up in corporate media suits. It will be interesting to watch how this unfolds.

 

Sept 20 (Reuters) – McDonald’s Corp has been ordered by a U.S. judge to defend against media entrepreneur Byron Allen’s $10 billion lawsuit accusing the fast-food chain of “racial stereotyping” by not advertising with Black-owned media.

 

In a decision on Friday, U.S. District Judge Fernando Olguin in Los Angeles said Allen could try to prove that McDonald’s violated federal and California civil rights laws by deeming his networks ineligible for the “vast majority” of its advertising dollars.

 

Allen accused McDonald’s of relegating his Entertainment Studios Networks Inc and Weather Group LLC, which owns the Weather Channel, to an “African American tier” with a separate ad agency and much smaller ad budget, depriving them of tens of millions of dollars of annual revenue.

 

While not ruling on the merits, Olguin cited allegations that Entertainment Studios had since its 2009 founding tried repeatedly and unsuccessfully to obtain a contract from McDonald’s, whose “racist” corporate culture harmed Allen.

 

“Taken together, and construed in the light most favorable to plaintiffs, plaintiffs have alleged sufficient facts to support an inference of intentional discrimination,” Olguin wrote.

 

In a statement on Tuesday, McDonald’s lawyer Loretta Lynch maintained that the Chicago-based company viewed the lawsuit as “about revenue, not race,” and believed the evidence would show there was no discrimination.

 

“Plaintiffs’ groundless allegations ignore both McDonald’s legitimate business reasons for not investing more on their channels and the company’s long-standing business relationships with many other diverse-owned partners,” she said. (read more)

 

If a black media outlet can sue a corporation for not spreading their wealth, what precedent would this set?

'Fact' Checker Glenn Kessler Claims Fetal Heartbeat Is a 'Misnomer,' Instantly Regrets Getting Out of Bed Today

Paula Bolyard

Glenn Kessler, the Washington Post’s intrepid “fact” checker, must have been salivating over his plan to “own the cons” when he retweeted Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams’ claim that “there’s no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks.” Abrams (D-Tinfoil Hat) claimed that a fetal heartbeat is just a Grand Plot by men to “take control of a woman’s body.”

 

Kessler weighed in with, “FWIW, ‘fetal heartbeat’ is a misnomer. The ultrasound picks up electrical activity generated by an embryo.”

 

“The so-called ‘heartbeat’ sound you hear is created by the ultrasound,” he added. “Not until 10 weeks can the opening and closing of cardiac valves be detected by a Doppler machine.”

 

Apparently, a memo went out on the Left this week with the new pro-abortion talking point to justify the murder of unborn children. Dr. Stacey Abrams, M.D., and Kessler wasted no time running to Twitter to shout the New Abortion Narrative.

 

Radiologist Pradheep J. Shanker quickly pointed out that Kessler has no idea what he is talking about:

 

He said the NPR article Kessler cited was wrong. “Ultrasound only detects density and motion. It cannot detect any electrical activity at all. This is a scientific fact,” Shanker declared. “It is true that the valves in the heart develop later. However, the cardiac muscles that are located in the embryological heart are contracting. They are in fact moving inward and outward. That is how you define a beat.”

 

He conceded that a fetal heartbeat isn’t the same as a fully developed adult heartbeat but added, “the cardiac tissue is contracting, which is literally what a beat is. To say otherwise is scientific misinformation, and cannot be treated otherwise.” What!?!?!?! Misinformation from the world’s leading “fact” checker? How can this be?

 

Shanker advised Kessler to delete the tweet and “completely correct it with somebody who knows the science and actually understands what they are talking about, and issue an apology because this is really a pathetic scientific document.”

 

Don’t hold your breath.

 

Townhall’s Kurt Schlichter offered this inconvenient truth:

 

The pro-life website LifeNews weighed in with a video showing the heartbeat of a baby 22 days after conception.

 

Others on Twitter mocked Kessler’s bogus claim:

 

There was no small amount of mockery for Stacey Abrams’ conspiracy theory, either:

 

The Pacific, a parody account for The Atlantic, knocked it out of the park with this one:

 

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry about this stupidity. As funny as all of this is, I fully expect the “fact” checkers to come at me for daring to call out Stacey Abrams and Glenn Kessler. It’s clear that the facts aren’t on the Left’s side in the abortion debate — ultrasound leaves no doubt that what’s in a mother’s womb is actually a baby — so they lie, spin, prevaricate, and deceive — all with the imprimatur of the “fact” checkers.

 

(I’m sure this is WAPO fact checker that stopped factchecking Bidan two weeks into his term)

How Is Stacey Abrams Doing With Black Voters?

Chris Queen

Four years ago, Stacey Abrams came within 55,000 votes of beating Brian Kemp in Georgia’s gubernatorial race. The turnout of black voters hoping to elect the Peach State’s first black female governor contributed to her impressive numbers.

This year, Abrams hasn’t been able to count on that level of support from black voters, and it’s showing in overall polling numbers.

A new poll from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution demonstrates the problem that Abrams is experiencing. The AJC shows her support among black voters at 79%, which should be impressive but isn’t quite enough to put the Governor’s Mansion within reach.

“While that might appear to be a lofty number, Democrats typically poll at least 10 percentage points higher with Black voters, report Anjali Huynh and Greg Bluestein at the AJC. “Among Black men, Abrams’ support dips to 75%, with an additional one-fifth backing Kemp and 6% undecided.”

Abrams has taken to holding rallies to drum up more black support, including trotting her father out at some of the rallies.

“I am not a Black man, but I’ve been raised by one,” she said, introducing him at one rally, “and I am always going to say that if Black men stand with me and vote for me and work with me, we can change the future of Georgia.”

The big problem is that black men are increasingly standing with Brian Kemp. Take a look at these polling numbers from this year compared to 2018:

But it’s more than just votes.Kemp has a surprising 30% approval rating among black voters, which is unheard of for a Republican in Georgia, and the governor’s black supporters have valid reasons for approving of the job he has done.

The AJC quotes one particular supporter: “’If something isn’t broken, we don’t need to try to fix it. I agree with Kemp’s policies and I like where the state is going,’ said John Francois, an accountant from Upson County who is among the Black men supporting Kemp. ‘It’s not really about Stacey Abrams — it’s more about the governor’s agenda.’”

Yet here’s what’s crazy about it all. Abrams’ campaign is in denial that her support among black voters is slipping, even while admitting that black voters feel as though the Democrats have taken them for granted.

“We’re coming at this in a moment of time when Black voters feel taken for granted in the Democratic Party,” campaign manager Lauren Groh-Wargo told the AJC.

In either complete ignorance or denial of the numbers, she added, “Black voters we talk to say Stacey Abrams is different and she’s fighting for them. And we know when we talk to them, we’ll win those voters overwhelmingly.”

The problem with Abrams is that she only has rhetoric, while Kemp has a record. Georgia’s economy is robust under Kemp’s leadership, especially after Georgia was the first state to reopen its economy after the first wave of COVID-19 lockdowns. Voters across the Peach State have seen that Georgia’s voter laws make it easier to vote but harder to cheat, in spite of the lies that Abrams and other Democrats have spread. It’s also easy to see how Abrams’ rhetoric affected minority-owned businesses when she pushed Major League Baseball to move the 2021 All-Star Game from Atlanta.

Kemp’s support is trickling down to other statewide races, including the Senate race, where former Georgia Bulldog and NFL star Herschel Walker has a thin lead over Sen. Raphael Warnock. That race in particular is interesting to watch since both candidates are black.

In the final few weeks of the campaign, Kemp is pulling even further ahead of Abrams, and that’s due in part to his support among black voters — and men in particular. Of course, the only poll that matters is the one that takes place on Election Day, but things are looking good for Kemp and bad for Abrams.
