Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson is accusing Rudy Giuliani of groping her before the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, according to her new memoir.

Hutchinson, who became a star witness for the Democrat-led Jan. 6 committee after serving as an aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, wrote that the incident occurred backstage during the "Stop the Steal" rally the day of the riot.

Hutchinson wrote that she found Giuliani standing in the back of a tent with others, such as Trump attorney John Eastman, according to an excerpt from her memoir published by The Guardian on Wednesday.

Hutchinson wrote:

"The corners of his mouth split into a Cheshire cat smile. Waving a stack of documents, he moves towards me, like a wolf closing in on its prey.

"'We have the evidence. It’s all here. We’re going to pull this off.' Rudy wraps one arm around my body, closing the space that was separating us. I feel his stack of documents press into the small of my back. I lower my eyes and watch his free hand reach for the hem of my blazer.

"'By the way,' he says, fingering the fabric, ‘I’m loving this leather jacket on you.’

His hand slips under my blazer, then my skirt."

Giuliani is already facing a $10 million lawsuit for alleged sexual assault involving one of his former employees.

RT’s ‘threat’ to US national security exposed

A satire video by the Russian network made it into Washington’s latest homeland threat assessment report

The US Department of Homeland Security has released a new threat assessment report highlighting the dangers facing Washington. Among other things, it warns of AI technologyforeign actors to spread alleged “disinformation” – and gives an obviously satire video by RT as an exampleof such activities.

The report, released last week, states that Washington’s “nation-state adversaries,” including Russia, China, and Iran, “continue to develop the most sophisticated malign influence campaigns online.” The alleged effort is now boosted by AI technology, which enables “the rapid creation of an endless supply of higher quality, more idiomatically correct text,” which purportedly gives the US’ adversaries a “greater aura of credibility.”

“Russian influence actors have used new AI technology in select cases to augment their operations. For instance, in June, an RT (formerly Russia Today) social media account created and shared a deepfake AI-generated video disparaging the US President and other Western leaders,” the assessment reads.

The example listed apparently refers to a video released by RT back in June that portrays Western leaders, including US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen using various unorthodox techniques in search for inspiration to hatch a new package of anti-Russian sanctions. The obviously satire video was never advertised by RT as actual footage of the process of developing sanctions.

Crazy Narcissist Jacinda Ardern Urges UN to Find Ways to Silence the Masses to Protect Free Speech… Or Something (VIDEO)

by Jim Hoft Sep. 20, 2023 11:00

This is one crazy clown.

Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern spoke before the US General Assembly on Tuesday for some reason. Jacinda, known for cracking down on every single individual right during COVID except the right to attend an orgy, spoke about cracking down on free speech.

What did we do to deserve this?

This is the new objective of the globalist elites.They want to control speech so they can lie more freely without being caught. Sick, sick people.

Jacinda Ardern: We launched an initiative alongside companies and nonprofits to help improve research and understanding of how a person’s online experiences are curated by automated processes. This will also be important in understanding more about myths and disinformation online, a challenge that we must, as leaders, address. Sadly, I think it’s easy to dismiss this problem as one in the margins. I can certainly understand the desire to leave it to someone else.

As leaders, we’re rightly concerned that even the most light touch approaches to disinformation could be misinterpreted as being hostile to the values of free speech that we value so highly. But while I cannot tell you today what the answer is to this challenge, I can say with complete certainty that we cannot ignore it. To do so poses an equal threat to the norms we all value. After all, how do you successfully end a war if people are led to believe the reason for its existence is not only legal, but noble? How do you tackle climate change if people do not believe it exists?

How do you ensure the human rights of others are upheld when they are subjected to hateful and dangerous rhetoric and ideology? The weapons may be different, but the goals of those who perpetuate them is often the same to cause chaos and reduce the ability of others to defend themselves, to disband communities, to collapse the collective strength of countries who work together.

But we have an opportunity here to ensure that these particular weapons of war do not become an established part of warfare. In these times, I’m acutely aware of how easy it is to feel disheartened. We are facing many battles on many fronts.

But there is cause for optimism. Because for every new weapon we face, there is a new tool to overcome it. It for every attempt to push the world into chaos is a collective conviction to bring us back to order. We have the means. We just need the collective will.

Thanks for dumping this crackpot on our shores, New Zealand. Scratch a liberal – find a Marxist.

Jordan wants censorship funding ban in budget deal, says conservatives should focus on the border

Jordan made his remarks amid an ongoing battle between House conservatives and Republican leadership over supplemental spending bills and degree to which to push for spending cuts.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Tuesday highlighted his key goals for a budget resolution to avert a government shutdown, asserting the need for language to bar additional funds for federal censorship activities and proposing a ban on funds to accommodate illegal immigrant arrivals to the country.

"[W]e want certain language on these appropriation bills," he said on the "Just the News, No Noise" television show. "When we get to those that says, you know, no money can be used to censor Americans, if it's that kind of language, no money can be used to develop a disinformation governance board at the Department of Homeland Security like they tried to do a year ago."

Jordan made his remarks amid an ongoing battle between House conservatives and Republican leadership over supplemental spending bills and degree to which to push for spending cuts. A group of five House Republicans on Tuesday voted with Democrats to block the advancement of a Pentagon funding measure over the matter.

Pressed on their efforts,Jordan opined that they ought to zero in on a specific issue they would like to address and push for tangible concessions on it. He opined they ought to address funding for the southern border.

"I think you – when in politics, when you have one really good issue you can you can hone in on," he said. "And right now I think that issue… is the open border we have. So let's say in this bill that funds the government for a short period of time, let's say 'no money can be used to process and allow… new migrants into the country.'"

"And after all, you got the Democratic mayor in New York saying that need we need to do something. Send that kind of bill to [Senate Majority Leader] Chuck Schumer and see what he does," Jordan said.

Tucker challenges Jim Jordan after Big Tech hearing: 'Google is your second biggest campaign contributor'

'Tucker Carlson Tonight' host asks Jordan 'what the consequences are going to be' for censorship

By Yael Halon Fox News

Published July 29, 2020 10:26pm EDT

The CEOs of Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google appear for congressional hearing on monopolies, accusations of political bias; reaction from Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, Republican member of the House Judiciary Committee.

Fox News' Tucker Carlson told House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to explain "what the consequences are going to be" for Big Tech companies that censor conservative viewpoints after Jordan blasted the leaders of Google, Facebook and other tech giants at a subcommittee hearing.

"Big Tech's out to get conservatives, that's clearly true," the "Tucker Carlson Tonight" host told Jordan. "It's time they face the consequences. There are too many frustrated viewers out there who don't think Republicans have forced them to face any consequences for the past four years. Tell us, simply, what the consequences are going to be."

Jordan insisted that House Republicans are working with the Senate to address the issue, and emphasized the importance of retaking the House in November, asking Carlson, "do you think Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Jerry Nadler are going to fix this? "

"I'm a talk show host," Carlson answered.

"We've got four million viewers or whatever, but my job is to talk. Lawmakers are tasked with running the country and passing our laws, by definition, and these companies operate with a special carve-out provided them by Congress and Congress has never done anything to rein them in."

"We've got, what, 96 days until the election," the host added. "Are there going to be any consequences until then?"

"There are three possible remedies here," Jordan acknowledged. "All I know is there is a big problem and there has to be a remedy, we are looking at which is the best course of action to take."

The interview took a turn when Carlson observed that Jordan and Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., have accepted campaign contributions from Google.

"Google is your second-biggest campaign contributor in the last cycle," Carlson told Jordan. "Why do you think they would give you money?"

"Look, if they want to exercise their First Amendment liberties to give me money – I raised $3 million last quarter," Jordan fired back. "If Google gives me a few thousand-dollar check, God bless them. That doesn't change who I am."

Jordan pointed to his behavior in Wednesday's hearing, during which he rattled off a list of instances where major tech and social media companies either censored or removed posts from conservative lawmakers or thinkers.

"In 2016, Google tried to tailor their features to help [Hillary] Clinton in key states …" Jordan stated. "The good news is in 2016, in spite of what Google did, the American people saw it for what it was and Donald Trump was elected.

"I think its gonna happen again," he predicted, "but we've got to keep our eye on them."

Senate and House campaign security spending increases over 500% in two years

The House and Senate spent $1.3 million on security for their 2020 campaigns but spent nearly $8 million in 2022.

By Madeleine Hubbard

Updated: September 19, 2023 7:34am

House and Senate campaign security budgets were more than 500% higher in the 2022 midterms than they were during the 2020 election season, according to a new analysis.

The House and Senate spent $1.3 million on security for their 2020 campaigns but spent nearly $8 million in 2022, "The Washington Post" reported Monday, citing Federal Election Commission records.

The increase comes after federal campaign finance rules changed to make it easier to spend money on security.

Additionally,House members spent more taxpayer dollars on security, with costs rising from about $675,000 in 2020 to $1.2 million in 2022.

Even with significant increases in security spending, lawmakers say that more needs to be done to combat threats against themselves and their staffers.

"We're asking them to come and do a difficult job already," Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., said about his staffers. He increased district office security spending by nearly $2,000 when lawmakers' funding allowance increased.

"They're dealing with somewhat of a stressful environment already, and then when their physical safety is threatened, you know, you need to make sure you're taking care of your folks."

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., has faced about 250 credible threats this year. "We're not far away from a member who has faced a barrage of threats being attacked at a time that they did not have a threat detail, and I hate to say that, but I know that's coming," he said.

The threats are not only limited to members of Congress and their staffers. In a recent high-profile attack, Paul Pelosi, the husband of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was brutally attacked last year with a hammer at his San Francisco home.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Capitol Police force is being forced to protect members of Congress around the nation, Chief J. Thomas Manger said in May.

McConnell scoffs at Senate dress code change, says lawmakers 'ought to dress up'

Traditionally, Senators were required to don a coat and tie to proceed to the Senate floor.

Updated: September 19, 2023 4:29pm

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday expressed frustration with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's decision to relax the dress code for the upper chamber, a move many attributed to Sen. John Fetterman's, D-Penn., penchant for wearing a hoodie and exercise clothes on the floor.

Traditionally, Senators were required to don a coat and tie to proceed to the Senate floor.

Under Schumer's directive, however, the dress code will no longer apply to Senators, though their staff will be required to adhere to the conventional dress requirements.

"I think I'm pretty safe in saying most if not all Republican senators think we ought to dress up to go to work. So I can't imagine that we’re going to be wearing jeans on the Senate floor anytime soon," he told reporters.

Schumer announced earlier this week that "[s]enators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor," but insisted he would continue to wear a suit.

Other senators have scorned the decision to abandon the dress code. Maine GOP Sen. Susan Collins on Tuesday told reporters "I plan to wear a bikini tomorrow to the Senate floor," apparently joking.
