Outrageous! Court Agrees Newsom’s Plan to Give Taxpayer Money to Illegal Aliens Likely Illegal, But Allows it to Proceed Anyway

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch requested a temporary restraining order against California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and his Director of the California Department of Social Services Kim Johnson to prevent them from giving nearly $80 million of taxpayers’ money in cash payments and benefits to illegal aliens amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

The court found that Newsom likely had no authority to give illegal aliens taxpayer money but that ‘there was a public interest in sending tax money to illegal aliens during the Coronavirus crisis.’ – Judicial Watch reported.

“It is astonishing that a court would allow a public official to ignore the law and spend tax money with no legal authority. Simply put, as the court seems to acknowledge, the governor has no independent legal authority to spend state taxpayer money for cash payments to illegal aliens. We will appeal the court’s manifest error,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said.

Last month Gavin Newsom announced cash payments to illegal aliens who were not eligible for the Coronavirus stimulus package passed by Congress which gave cash to many tax-paying Americans who were affected by the Coronavirus.

California has several million illegal aliens living in the US.

So now Newsom is taking money from struggling Americans and redistributing it to illegal aliens.

“We feel a deep sense of gratitude for people that are in fear of deportations that are still addressing essential needs of tens of millions of Californians,” said Newsom.

Judicial Watch’s lawsuit argued the California state legislature had not enacted any law that affirmatively provided that illegal aliens were eligible for the Coronavirus cash payments and benefits announced by Newsom.

The Court agreed with Judicial Watch that what Newsom did was likely illegal, but they allowed him to proceed anyway.

Judicial Watch announced it will be appealing “the court’s manifest error.”

Canadian Officials Concerned by Attacks on Cell Towers Amid 5G Conspiracy Theories

Canadian officials are sounding the alarm over a spate of attacks on cell towers as conspiracy theories claim that 5G technology might be contributing to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

“Concerned to hear reports of cellphone towers being vandalized in Canada. I would like to remind all Canadians that vandalizing these towers is a serious criminal offence, and severe criminal penalties will be brought against those found breaking the law,” Public Safety Minister Bill Blair tweeted on Tuesday.

Blair’s comments echoed that of the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, Navdeep Bains, who also voiced his concern over the spate of incidents.

According to reports, multiple cell towers in the province of Quebec have been the target of arson attacks in recent days. None of the towers in question are equipped with 5G technology, officials and local outlets said.

5G – the next generation of cellular networks – has long faced backlash with many people voicing concerns on social media about health implications of the new technology. Fears about a possible connection between the deadly COVID-19 pandemic and the new mobile broadband standard have led to dozens of attacks on cell towers across Europe.

Scientists, as well as leading European health and government officials and public figures, have repeatedly stated that there is no evidence to suggest that 5G radiation causes physical ailments or diseases, with Professor Stephen Powis, national medical director for NHS England, calling the claims "outrageous" and "absolute and utter rubbish”, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Michael Gove, dubbing the links “dangerous nonsense”.

Tech giants Google, YouTube and Facebook have taken measures to address the spread of "misleading health claims" linked to Coronavirus and 5G conspiracy theories.

YouTube started banning videos linking 5G masts with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, while Facebook is preventing users from forwarding a message to more than one chat at a time in its WhatsApp service, in a bid to clamp down on disinformation.

Google has begun cracking down on advertising that claims 5G causes the virus.

Politico Founder: I Want a Joe Biden ‘Coronation’, Even If He Is Guilty of Sexual Assault

Martin Tolchin, a founder of Politico and former New York Times correspondent in Washington, DC, published a letter to the editor of the Times Tuesday calling for a Joe Biden “coronation” regardless of claims of sexual assault.

The letter came in response to a recent Times editorial calling for the Democratic National Committee to investigate claims by Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer, who claims Biden assaulted her in 1993.

Tolchin wrote that he did not want Reade’s claims investigated — or anything else about Biden — because all he wanted was to see Trump defeated in November.

The letter, in full, follows (original emphasis):

I totally disagree with this editorial. I don’t want an investigation. I want a coronation of Joe Biden. Would he make a great president? Unlikely. Would he make a good president? Good enough. Would he make a better president than the present occupant? Absolutely. I don’t want justice, whatever that may be. I want a win, the removal of Donald Trump from office, and Mr. Biden is our best chance.

Suppose an investigation reveals damaging information concerning his relationship with Tara Reade or something else, and Mr. Biden loses the nomination to Senator Bernie Sanders or someone else with a minimal chance of defeating Mr. Trump. Should we really risk the possibility?

Martin Tolchin

Alexandria, Va.

The writer is a former member of The Times’s Washington bureau and a founder of Politico.

The Democratic National Committee rejected the Times‘ suggestion, calling it “absurd on its face.”

Critics noted that Tolchin’s attitude confirmed public suspicion of the Beltway media as hopelessly partisan and uninterested in the truth.

David Martosko, a White House correspondent for the Daily Mail, tweeted that Tolchin’s letter was “Exhibit A demonstrating why less than 1/3 of Americans trust the news media.

Cases Linked To Alleged Minneapolis Serial Rapist Keep Stacking Up

Jory Wiebrand, already charged in two previous sexual assaults, was charged in three separate cases for criminal sexual conduct, burglary and harassment, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced Tuesday.

Wiebrand, 34, who was charged April 20 in connection with two home invasions in which women were assaulted, now faces new charges in three separate cases spanning a five-year period:

March 23, 2015: Charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct,

August 4, 2018: Charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct and first-degree burglary, and

January 3, 2020: Charged with harassment and invasion of privacy.

According to the criminal complaints, on March 23, 2015, Minneapolis Police officers received a report of a rape that occurred at the 1300 block of 7th Street in Southeast Minneapolis. When they arrived, the victim told police she was raped by a white male, identified as Wiebrand, while she removed snow from her car.

The victim stated that Wiebrand came up from behind her, sprayed her in the face with pepper spray, forced her to the ground and used his body weight to immobilize her. Wiebrand then removed the victim’s pants and underwear and sexually assaulted her, the complaint states.

When Wiebrand repositioned himself, he lost his balance, and the victim was able to get free. She ran away, scaled a fence and went to a nearby home where residents were able to help her. They washed the pepper spray from her eyes and called 911, the complaint continues.

The victim was transported to a hospital where she received medical treatment and a sexual assault examination. Swabs from the examination were submitted to the BCA for testing and indicated that the DNA profile matched Wiebrand’s known DNA profile. The victim’s pants had semen on them, and forensic scientists found that after DNA testing, that DNA too matched Wiebrand’s know DNA profile.

On Aug. 4, 2018, Minneapolis Police responded to a rape and robbery report on the 800 block of 6th Street in Southeast Minneapolis. The victim informed police that she was returning from a gathering with friends around 2:30 a.m. when she went to have a cigarette on her back patio. She stated that a male, Wiebrand, attacked her from behind, pulled her into her house proceeded to choke her, while sexually assaulting her. At one point, he sprayed her face with pepper spray and then fled with her purse.

The victim was transported to a hospital where she received a sexual assault examination, the complaint continues. Swabs found that there was a mixture of DNA, and Wiebrand could not be excluded, while 99.99999997% of the population could.

On Jan. 3, 2020, Minneapolis Police received a report of a person prowling and looking into windows at townhomes in the 900 block of 7th Street in Southeast Minneapolis. A few weeks later, a University of Minnesota student and her parent contacted University of Minneapolis police stating they had surveillance footage of a man from Jan. 3, looking into windows.

The video was given to law enforcement which showed a clear image of the prowler’s face, Wiebrand, peering into homes with a flashlight. This behavior is consistent with the modus operandi of Wiebrand who has been identified as the perpetrator in at least nine sexual assaults, assaults and burglaries occurring in this same neighborhood between 2015 and 2020, the complaint states. Wiebrand would monitor the behavior of his victims, attacking them before or after they entered their homes.

Additional charges are likely forthcoming.

This Is OUR POWER: Apple Data Shows Enslavement Ending Whether Government Wants It To Or Not

This is perhaps the best piece of news we’ve gotten over the past week. Apple data is showing that people are ending the lockdowns themselves by living freely in defiance of the state and whether the ruling class and police state likes it or not.

Obviously, we’ve seen that protests (begging those who enslaved you to free you) don’t convince the corrupt power-hungry criminals that think they own us to give us back our freedom, which is our birthright. They don’t care what we want as long as we obey and enslave ourselves and keep allowing them to steal from us. But people are finally figuring out that they have the power to end this tyranny and they can do it now by disobeying and refusing to be put in chains.

In a recent Forbes article, Apple has released data that shows people have made up their minds and are refusing to comply with orders any longer. Just this will show that people have always had this power, they just didn’t know it. Goodbye tyranny, hello freedom.

Apple’s Mobility Trends report shows that traffic in the US and other countries like Germany has pretty much doubled in the past three weeks. It had been down up to 72%. And location data provider Foursquare says that gas and fast food visits are back to pre-COVID-19 levels in the American Midwest.

“Gas station traffic has returned to pre-COVID-19 levels in the Midwest, and in rural areas throughout the country,” Foursquare said yesterday in a blog post. “Foot traffic to quick service restaurants (QSRs) has risen over the past several weeks.”

Whether governments, medical professionals, and scientists want it to or not, people seem tired of the shutdown and eager to get back to some semblance of normal life. –Forbes

People are tired of being slaves. They are tired of following the commands of others and enriching the ruling class while they are forced to starve. People are finally realizing they have had the right to be free their whole lives. The Forbes article is still a mainstream media propaganda piece that is attempting to scare the public by claiming the government still has the right to rule over us, and institute policies like mandatory face masks, so make sure you can recognize the fear written into it.

People didn’t lose their jobs or their freedom because of a virus. They lost their jobs and their freedom because they followed the orders of others.

Drug Smugglers May Have Started COVID-19 Outbreak Aboard Destroyer, SecDef Says

How a Navy destroyer operating in the Pacific picked up coronavirus cases remains a mystery, but the top defense official said this week that a drug-smuggling vessel could be to blame.

The destroyer Kidd became the second deployed Navy warship to head back to port in about a month after dozens of cases of COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus, broke out among the crew.

More than 30 days passed between the Kidd's last port visit in Hawaii and the first crew member showing COVID-19 symptoms on April 22, USNI News reported, raising the possibility that asymptomatic sailors were unwittingly spreading it. But Defense Secretary Mark Esper said leaders are also considering another possibility behind the outbreak.

"A theory is that they could've picked it up on a counterdrug mission where they pulled over a vessel possibly carrying drugs and they boarded the vessel and may have come in contact with somebody carrying the virus there," Esper told reporters on Tuesday.

The Kidd, which is based out of Washington state, first deployed with the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group in January, but was later tasked with heading to the eastern Pacific for counter-narcotic missions in U.S. Southern Command.

The Trump administration has ramped up those missions in the Western Hemisphere, even as the globe deals with the coronavirus pandemic. Esper said last month when President Donald Trump announced a buildup of military counterdrug operations that criminal organizations will leverage governments being distracted by the coronavirus to move more drugs.

The Kidd is now in San Diego where its crew members are being treated.

"All the proper protocols are being followed to make sure that we get her back to sea as soon as possible," Esper said.

The Navy's other vessel to see a big coronavirus outbreak, the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, has been sidelined in Guam for more than a month. Crew members are starting to move back out to the ship, but nearly all the roughly 4,800 members had to be evacuated and tested for COVID-19 while that ship was disinfected.

More than 1,100 members of the Roosevelt's crew tested positive for the virus. At least 78 members of the Kidd's much-smaller crew of about 300 tested positive. That's according to the last figures the Navy released on the outbreaks on April 30. The service has since stopped sharing updates.

Joint Chiefs Chairman Army Gen. Mark Milley said on Tuesday that he's confident the Navy's strict new protocols for keeping the novel coronavirus off its vessels will help prevent future outbreaks.

On Monday during a virtual event hosted by the Brookings Institution, Esper went as far as to say that deployed Navy ships are the "safest place to be" during the global pandemic.

"Of the 90 ships we have at sea, we've only had two that have been affected," Esper said. "… Two ships out of I think 94 is a pretty good record."

In unearthed private letter, Obama excoriated GOP-led probe into Biden as aiding Russian disinformation

He called the request unprecedented and improper

A newly unearthed private letter showed former President Barack Obama's response to a Republican-led demand for information on Joe Biden, and it was not well received.

The letter was sent from the office of the 44th president to the National Archives and Records Administration in March over a request from Republican Sens. Grassley (Iowa) and Ron Johnson (Wis.) for records relating to Biden's actions in Ukraine.

Critics have accused Biden of using his former position in the Obama administration in order to personally benefit his son Hunter Biden, who sat on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.

Obama called the request improper and said it was aiding a Russian disinformation campaign.

"It arises out of efforts by some, actively supported by Russia, to shift the blame for Russian interference in the 2016 election to Ukraine," claimed Obama in the letter, published by Buzzfeed News.

"The request for early release of presidential records in order to give credence to a Russian disinformation campaign — one that has already been thoroughly investigated by a bipartisan congressional committee — is without precedent," he added.

Despite the strong objections, Obama agreed to the release of the documents in "the interest of countering the misinformation campaign underlying the request."

The National Archives released 9,400 pages of the records requested since mid-March.

While he was hounded by questions surrounding his involvement in Ukraine, Biden became the presumed Democratic candidate for the presidential election.

Government gone too far? States rebuked for coronavirus lockdown measures

The Justice Department has sided with a Virginia church suing Gov. Ralph Northam after police threatened a pastor with jail time or a $2,500 fine for violating lockdown restrictions by holding a service on Palm Sunday – marking the latest incident where federal lawyers or local courts have challenged a state’s stay-at-home mandates during the coronavirus pandemic.

U.S. Attorney General William Barr made it clear last month that federal prosecutors should "be on the lookout" for overly restrictive state and local shutdown orders that may infringe on people's constitutional rights – especially when it comes to the First Amendment.

"If a state or local ordinance crosses the line from an appropriate exercise of authority to stop the spread of COVID-19 into an overbearing infringement of constitutional and statutory protections, the Department of Justice may have an obligation to address that overreach in federal court," Barr said in an April memo.

While the DOJ – and district and state courts – have been mainly on the lookout for any lockdown measures that violate people’s rights to practice their religion openly, a number of cases have headed to court over stay-at-home measures impinging on everything from business operations to quality-of-life issues.
