R. Kelly Faces Criminal Probe After Lifetime Docu-Series

American R&B artist R. Kelly is reportedly under criminal investigation by Georgia's Fulton County District Attorney's Office over allegations made against the singer-songwriter in a recently aired Lifetime docu-series.

According to TMZ, investigators have recently begun to reach out to various women featured on the series. One of these women is Asante McGee, who was doxxed earlier this week by fans of Kelly, who created a public Facebook page to discredit her claims and those of other women.

Lifetime Network's three-part series, "Surviving R. Kelly," touches on a variety of allegations made against Kelly, dating back to the musician's alleged interaction with underage girls, including his marriage to then 15-year-old artist Aaliyah.

The series, which spanned from Thursday to Saturday, also covers his 2002 indictment on child pornography charges, along with more recent allegations that he's coerced underage girls to live with him, ultimately forcing them to cut off all communication with relatives.

Facebook later indicated that the Facebook page, dubbed "Surviving Lies," was removed for its violation of the social media giant's community standards. "We do not tolerate bullying or sharing others' private contact information and take action on content that violates our policies as soon as we're aware," an official told TMZ.

Gerald Griggs, an Atlanta-based lawyer representing the family of Joycelyn Savage, an alleged current victim of Kelly's, told local news station Fox 5 that "very senior members of the DA's office" have been in contact regarding witness information in the ongoing case. It should be noted that Savage has previously stated that she is not a hostage of Kelly's.

Per TMZ, said senior members includes the DA's chief investigator, Cynthia Nwokocha. The Fulton County District Attorney's Office has yet to comment on the investigation.

"Surviving R. Kelly" executive producer Dream Hampton recently told Entertainment Weekly that in researching the allegations surrounding Kelly, the team was looking for "irrefutable evidence."

"Without leading any of these women, they all had the exact same stories, even if their interactions with R. Kelly were 15 years apart," Hampton said. "All of them have stories about being physically abused, being videotaped without consent, being denied food or bathroom privileges as a punishment."

Trump slashes $16.4B of regulations, 70 percent of agencies cut

Under orders to slash regulations, 11 of 16 top federal agencies went on a cutting frenzy last year, eliminating old rules, many from the Obama era, for a total saving to taxpayers and business of $7.8 billion.

In a key sign of the new trend, nearly a third of the administration’s regulatory actions were actually moves to cut rules and red tape, according to a calendar year end review from American Action Forum.

Overall, federal agencies cut $16.4 billion in regulations but added $8.6 billion in new rules.

“Rulemaking activity increased notably in the second year of the Trump administration, following the trend of other recent administrations. The reason for this increase is straightforward: In its second year, an administration has more personnel in place and can advance rules begun in year one. The difference for the Trump administration is that a significant portion of regulatory activity this year was deregulatory,” said the new report.

While new administrations typically expand regulations to fit their agenda, the Trump agenda has been focused on deregulation and some 70 percent of federal agencies complied, said the report from AAF’s policy experts Dan Bosch and Dan Goldbeck.

The Departments of Health and Human Services, Transportation, and the Interior accounted for the bulk of the cuts, totaling over $10 billion.

When looked at the cuts in a fiscal instead of calendar year time frame, the Department of Labor moves up to second place.

Those cuts helped offset the handful of agencies that added costly regulations, notably the Department of Agriculture. It added $5.2 billion, most of that in one rule covering a bioengineered food disclosure standard.

“The Trump administration ramped up deregulatory activity in 2018, resulting in government-wide net regulatory savings for the first time since AAF began tracking. It achieved this by more than doubling its final deregulatory action rate,” said the experts.

Tech Giants Paid Off ‘Trusted” Conservative Groups for Their Silence as Social Media Giants Eliminated Conservative Content and Publishers from Platform

It’s no secret that the Silicon Valley tech giants discriminate against conservatives and conservative content.

Facebook has been shutting down traffic to conservative websites since the 2016 election.

YouTube and Twitter along with Amazonramped up their attacks on conservative users and platforms since the 2016 election.

The Gateway Pundit spoke earlier with two of the top conservative publishers in America.

Floyd Brown is a conservative author, speaker and media commentator. In 2008 Floyd launched Western Journal which quickly became one of the top conservative websites in America. By 2016 Floyd’s organization of Western Journal and other conservative websites under his umbrella had more than a billion page views. Since 2016 Floyd’s organization lost 75% of its Facebook traffic.

Likewise, we spoke with Jared Vallorani from Klicked Media. Jared traveled to Washington DC with The Gateway Pundit and website owners at 100%FedUp in June to discuss Facebook targeting against conservative publishers with Republican lawmakers. Jared told The Gateway Pundit his organization Klicked Media, which hosts over 60 conservative websites, lost 400 million page views from Facebook in the last six months if you compare the traffic to a year ago. Jared said, “We lost 70% to 80% of our traffic if you compare January to May 2017 vs Jan to May 2018.”

If you combine the total number of page-views lost by just these two conservative online publishers you are looking at a loss of over 1.5 billion page-views from Facebook in one year.

These are numbers from just two of the top conservative publishers in America. This does not include the thousands of other conservative publishers across the country who lost all of their traffic coming from Facebook. Here at The Gateway Pundit our Facebook traffic has been effectively eliminated after we were ranked as the 4th most influential conservative publisher in the 2016 election.

Facebook has also deleted prominent conservatives completely from their platform. Alex Jones, Infowars, Laura Loomer, Gavin McInnes, triple-amputee veteran Brian Kolfage and Roger Stone have lost their pages in the last year.

The fact that Facebook is targeting conservative publishers should not be a surprise to Gateway Pundit readers.

We have been reporting on this for several months now. In July we released a study where we looked at several top conservative websites and discovered that the publishers had lost an average of 93% of their Facebook traffic.

Facebook worked with liberal “rights” groups before the 2018 election. Everyone knows these groups discriminate against conservatives and are more anti-conservative than they are pro-civil rights.

This is just another way Facebook gets away with eliminating conservative content.

But now thanks to an accidental piece by The Wall Street Journal we know there are several conservative organizations being paid by the tech giants as the organizations continue to censor and eliminate conservative voices.

This is outrageous and vile behavior.
