Liberal Emmy Host Trashes Christians: The Only White People That Thank Jesus Are Republicans and Ex-Crackheads (VIDEO)

The 70th Emmy’s Awards aired tonight complete with racist jokes, slavery jokes and anti-Christian humor.

This passes for humor on the left today. Liberal Emmy’s host Michael Che joked with the audience on Monday that the only white people who thank Jesus at award shows are Republicans, ‘ex-crackheads.’

Democrats hate Christians and now they even crack jokes about devout Christians.

New Mexico Suing Google & Twitter for Knowingly and Illegally Exploiting Children Online

The state of New Mexico has filed a lawsuit against Google and others for willfully breaking the law to exploit the collection of children's data online.

As YouTube, Google, and Twitter crack down on peaceful channels, censor alternative media, and allow child exploitation videos to flourish, New Mexico has filed a lawsuit against them and several app developers for illegally collecting data from children under the age of 13 without parental consent.

According to UPI, New Mexico Attorney General Balderas said the companies are violating the 1998 Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), a federal law, by collecting and selling the data on children.

“These apps can track where children live, play, and go to school with incredible precision,” Balderas said of the insidious practice. “These multi-million-dollar tech companies partnering with app developers are taking advantage of New Mexican children, and the unacceptable risk of data breach and access from third parties who seek to exploit and harm our children will not be tolerated in New Mexico.”

Tiny Lab Productions, MoPub, AerServ, InMobi PTE, AppLovin and IronSource are also named in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit comes on the heals of a study that showed over 6,000 apps violate COPPA regulations.

As the Free Thought Project reported earlier this year, YouTube was already found to be in violation of COPPA when an independent coalition of advocacy groups conducted their own investigation.

The coalition is made up of groups including the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC), the Center for Digital Democracy and 21 other organizations. Within their complaint, the coalition alleges that despite Google claiming YouTube is only for children 13-years-old and over—it knows younger children use the site and it targets them—illegally.

According to COPPA, it is illegal for any operator of a website or online service or a portion thereof that is directed to children, or that has actual knowledge that it collects information from children, from collecting, using or disclosing personal information from a child unless the operator gives parents notice of its data collection practices and obtains verifiable parental consent before collecting the data.

However, according to the complaint filed by the coalition, Google is knowingly violating this law.

Sean Penn says #MeToo movement lacks nuance and serves to ‘divide men and women’

Actor Sean Penn took exception to the idea that the strong female characters on his new show were inspired by the #MeToo movement during an interview with Today’s Natalie Morales on Monday.

Penn is starring alongside Natascha McElhone in a new Hulu series called “The First,” which is about a mission to Mars in the year 2030 and includes several female astronauts and a female president.

McElhone said it was informed by the #MeToo movement, but Penn disagreed.

“I’d like to think that none of it was influenced by what they call the movement of #MeToo,” Penn said. “I think it’s influenced by the things that are developing in terms of the empowerment of women who’ve been acknowledging each other and being acknowledged by men.”

A movement of division?

Penn went on to criticize the #MeToo movement as a whole, questioning whether it was actually a movement at all and pointing to it as a source of division in society.

“This is a movement that was largely shouldered by a kind of receptacle of the salacious,” Penn said during the interview. “…we don’t know what’s a fact in many of the cases. Salacious is as soon as you call something a movement that is really a series of many individual accusers, victims, accusations, some of which are unfounded. The spirit of what has been the #MeToo movement is to divide men and women.”

Penn referenced personal conversations he’s had with women he knows who, when talking about the issue behind closed doors, exhibit common sense and nuance that the media doesn’t portray.

“I’m gonna say that women I talk to, not in front of a camera, that I listen to, of all walks of life, that there’s a common sense that is not represented at all in the discussion when it comes to the media discussion of it, the discussion where if Sean Penn says this, so and so’s going to attack him for saying this, because of that.”

Penn remains skeptical of the movement.

“I don’t want it to be a trend, and I’m very suspicious of a movement that gets glommed on to in great stridency and rage and without nuance,” Penn told Morales. “And even when people try to discuss it in a nuanced way, the nuance itself is attacked.”

Penn’s co-star disagrees

Despite Penn’s strong feelings, co-star McElhone doesn’t share his opinion of #MeToo and its influence on “The First.”

“We talked about it a great deal (on the set of “The First”),” McElhone said. “I think what Sean was maybe alluding to is this sort of bubble actors or people who are in magazines that have gotten a lot of attention from this.”

The Deep State Exposed: Investigation Uncovers Foggy Bottom Anti-Trump Leak Factory

It was mid-May, about six weeks after Trump appointee Mari Stull began her new job as senior adviser at the State Department’s Bureau of International Organization Affairs.

As senior adviser at the bureau, Stull was in charge of making sure President Trump’s agenda was represented at the many international organizations the U.S. participates in and mostly funds, such as the United Nations and its various agencies.

Stull and her boss, Amb. Kevin Moley, had just left for a trip to Geneva for the World Health Assembly. Back at the State Department, Erin Barclay, a senior career diplomat at the IO Bureau, invited more than ten civil servants within the bureau to a lunch meeting.

At the meeting, Molly Phee, another senior career diplomat, went around the table and asked each civil servant for complaints about Stull and took notes. Another senior career diplomat in the IO bureau, Nerissa Cook, was also there. One civil servant who participated in the meeting would later say the meeting felt uncomfortable, and that there was pressure to say something.

Several weeks later, the first hit piece against Stull ran in an exclusive Foreign Policy report. The June 13 piece alleged that Stull was “vetting” U.S. employees at the State Department and at the United Nations to determine whether they were “loyal” to President Trump.

The piece also alleged Stull had a “highly secretive management style,” had emerged as the most “dominant force” in the bureau, had required that she review new directives from the office before they went out, and that she was stripping references to “international law” and “international order” from action items and memos.

Not one source was named in the piece, which cited the allegations from “nearly a dozen” anonymous “current and former U.S. officials.” The piece did, however, mention three deputy assistant secretaries of state in the bureau: Phee, Barclay, and Cook, who were said to be leaving to other positions at State.

After the article published, three top Democrats — Sen. Bob Menendez (NJ), Rep. Eliot Engel (NY), and Elijah Cummings (MD) — then sent a letter dated June 19 to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo citing the article and demanding documents related to Stull and her alleged vetting of employees’ loyalty.
