After the highly edited interview CBS’ 60 Minutes conducted of Kamala Harris was released, it was obvious to everyone who had access to any of the raw footage the edits were designed to put Kamala Harris in the best light possible. In other words, this was an infomercial, an illegal campaign ad created by CBS for the DNC-CCP.

As many of our readers know, this writer has long been calling for GOP Attorneys General to prosecute the MSM whenever and wherever it continues to violate campaign finance laws, advertising laws, and more (including inciting violence). Now, Donald Trump may have fired the first shot across the bow of the MSM, calling for CBS News to be investigated after the obvious campaign advertising edits were applied to the aired interview.

Trump wrote, “I’ve never seen this before, but the producers of 60 Minutes sliced and diced (‘cut and pasted’) Lyin’ Kamala’s answers to questions, which were virtually incoherent, over and over again, some by as many as four times in a single sentence or thought, all in an effort, possibly illegal as part of the ‘News Division,’ which must be licensed, to make her look ‘more Presidential,’ or a least, better,”

Trump Demands Investigation After 60 Minutes Edits Out Kamala’s Word Salad Answers › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

Excerpt:

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday demanded an investigation into the 60 Minutes interview of Kamala Harris, insisting that the long running news program repeatedly “sliced and diced” her answers to make her seem “more presidential.”

The Trump-Vance Campaign on Monday demanded that CBS News release an “unedited transcript” of the entire “60  Minutes” interview after her particularly bad “word salad” answer about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was cut from Monday’s broadcast and replaced with a completely different answer…

The Trump Campaign accused CBS of “deceptively” editing out Harris’ “idiotic response” to Whitaker’s remark.

“On Sunday, 60 Minutes teased Kamala’s highly-anticipated sit-down interview with this epic word salad that received significant criticism on social media,” Trump 2024 national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a press release. “During the full interview on Monday evening, the word salad was deceptively edited to lessen Kamala’s idiotic response.”

Leavitt wondered what else might have been left on the cutting room floor.

“Why did 60 Minutes choose not to air Kamala’s full word salad, and what else did they choose not to air?” she said.

“The American people deserve the full, unedited transcript from Kamala’s sit-down interview,” Leavitt continued. “We call upon 60 Minutes and CBS to release it. What do they, and Kamala, have to hide?”

Trump has refused to appear on the show ever since 60 Minutes host Leslie Stahl in 2020 falsely claimed that Hunter Biden’s laptop was not a story because it was “unverified.”

In a post on Truth Social Tuesday, Trump accused the show’s news division of illegally deceptively editing a number of Harris’ answers to make her seem “more Presidential.”

“I’ve never seen this before, but the producers of 60 Minutes sliced and diced (‘cut and pasted’) Lyin’ Kamala’s answers to questions, which were virtually incoherent, over and over again, some by as many as four times in a single sentence or thought, all in an effort, possibly illegal as part of the ‘News Division,’ which must be licensed, to make her look ‘more Presidential,’ or a least, better,” Trump said.

Boeing is withdrawing its initial 30% pay increase offer after it made that offer last month, calling it their “best and final offer.”  A letter sent to Boeing employees said “The union made non-negotiable demands far in excess of what can be accepted if we are to remain competitive as a business. Given that position, further negotiations do not make sense at this point and our offer has been withdrawn.”

Boeing says it has withdrawn its pay rise offer to striking workers after negotiations with union representatives reached a stalemate.

The aviation giant accused the union of not giving its proposals serious consideration.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union (IAM) said Boeing was “hell-bent on standing on the non-negotiated offer” which it says was rejected by its members.

Last month, Boeing announced what it called its “best and final” offer to workers, which proposed a 30% rise over four years – lower than the 40% being demanded by the union.

“The union made non-negotiable demands far in excess of what can be accepted if we are to remain competitive as a business,” Boeing Commercial Airplanes President Stephanie Pope said in a letter sent to employees.

A report in the Washington Post claims senior U.S. intelligence officials have discovered a mass of Chinese Communist online bots targeting American local elections, seeking to “inflame tensions in the country just one month before the 2024 election.” Another report in Newsweek cited Reuters as claiming “China-linked actors… directly interfered in ‘tens’ of down-ballot races, particularly when it comes to issues that most concern the Chinese Communist Party.”

This writer would assume at the local level what China wants most are officials amendable to provide the Chinese Communist Party free access to sensitive institutional territory, as well as preferential treatment to assure the Chinese can move in as seamlessly and stealthily as possible.

Lest you think that means democrats, this writer can assure you there are plenty of republicans, especially at the local level, willing to grift America for personal gain, there’s just even more democrats not only willing to grift America, but to do that grifting with glee, for they hate her to their core. For the democrat, they’re not selling out their country, their selling out ours, America.

China made it clear to the world recently that it is committed to following the ESG standards of the DNC-CCP, with ESG standing for Environmental, Social, and Governance. A recent government propaganda piece signaled China’s involvement in the woke ideology and its commitment to following the standards.

From senecaesg.com: Although China’s ESG framework is still developing, it aligns closely with international standards, ensuring that mainland companies adhere to sustainable practices. This regulatory push is expected to promote widespread ESG awareness and implementation across industries.

Excerpt:

China has made significant progress in establishing a regulatory framework for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliance, evolving over two decades. The first ESG policy, initiated in 2003, laid the groundwork for environmental information disclosure. By 2022, the State Council’s “Opinions on Comprehensively Promoting the Construction of a Beautiful China” emphasized the importance of ESG. This government endorsement advanced China’s focus on ecological governance and green economic development. 

Recent developments, like the Ministry of Finance’s 2023 draft “Corporate Sustainability Disclosure Standards,” marked a milestone in ESG regulations. These guidelines broaden ESG disclosure requirements beyond listed companies to include small and medium-sized enterprises. They focus on governance, strategy, and risk management, requiring timely and transparent reporting. 

Additionally, the Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing stock exchanges have introduced guidelines mandating sustainable development reports for certain companies, emphasizing both financial and environmental impact. These reports must align with the company’s annual reports, fostering regulatory compliance. 

Although China’s ESG framework is still developing, it aligns closely with international standards, ensuring that mainland companies adhere to sustainable practices. This regulatory push is expected to promote widespread ESG awareness and implementation across industries.

The Laborers’ Union of North America (LiUNA) is hoping to find Democrat voters in Missouri among the recently imported de facto illegal aliens. The organization has been sending mail to “noncitizen migrant workers” that say “Stop the Steal by stopping Trump’s allies. Vote for Harris-Walz and pro-worker candidates.”

As a bulwark against this threat, Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft told Fox2 “You can register online without any proof of citizenship. You can register without even and ID. Now, we have implemented in Missouri a requirement that no one is allowed to get a ballot, even if they’re registered, unless they have proven their identity at least once; so that is an extra check we have.”

This morning, October 9, 2024, Hurricane Milton, currently a category 4 hurricane, is already impacting the state of Florida ahead of its anticipated collision course later tonight. An historic evacuation of affected counties has already taken place, with officials like the Tampa Bay Mayor warning people if they stay, they die. We will be tracking this event as it unfolds through our Hurricane Milton Report.

“I can tell you right now they might have done that in others, there’s never been one like this,” Castor said in a CNN interview posted to YouTube.

“Helene was a wakeup call, this is literally catastrophic,” she added.

“And I can say without any dramatization whatsoever: If you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you’re gonna die,” she said. CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins was taken aback by the warning, which the mayor said she has never given before.

Pharmaceutical giant Moderna has been caught offering children cash rewards for taking part in medical trials to test experimental Covid mRNA “booster” shots.

The company representatives were found to be using WhatsApp messages to minors in the UK.

The UK Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority (PMCPA) launched an investigation into the vaccine makers over complaints that Moderna was offering money to children between the ages of 12 and 18.

The WhatsApp messages offered children £1,500 ($1,962) each in return for being injected with experimental Covid mRNA “vaccines.”

The PMCPA ruled that the offer amounted to “inappropriate financial inducement.”

Excerpt:

… The pharmaceutical company was ordered to pay £14,000 after it emerged that a representative had sent a WhatsApp message offering £1,500 to children to take part in Covid booster trials.

The UK Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority (PMCPA) ruled that the offer amounted to “inappropriate financial inducement” and found the company had brought “discredit upon the pharmaceutical industry”.

The offer was made by a paediatrician from an unnamed NHS trust, inviting those aged between 12 and 18 years old to enrol in the NextCove trial, which was examining the efficacy of Moderna’s booster jab.

The inducement was made even though a research ethics committee had warned about the “large amount of money” that Moderna was offering participants, and voiced concern it was “much higher than would be considered a reasonable reimbursement”.

The Guardian is reporting that Melania Trump will claim she is Pro-Unborn-Baby-Murder in her soon-to-be-released memoir in a move that may have been intended to chase pro-life voters away from the Trump ticket. Melania confirmed her position in a video share on X where she wrote “Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that I safeguard. Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth: individual freedom. What does my body, my choice really mean?”

While some pro-life voters might now not vote for Trump after this, it is more likely, in this writer’s opinion, this will create far more new Trump voters, suburban white women who would otherwise not vote for Democrats if abortion wasn’t the main issue, than it will cause Trump to lose voters.

Melania Trump confirms support for abortion rights in new video, putting her at odds with husband’s position – Local 3 News

Excerpt:

Former first lady Melania Trump said in a new video posted Thursday that she believes there is “no room for compromise” when it comes to a woman’s “individual freedom,” after The Guardian reported excerpts from her forthcoming book in which she says she supports abortion rights “free from any intervention or pressure from the government.”

“Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that I safeguard. Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth: individual freedom. What does my body, my choice really mean?” the former first lady said in a video posted on X.

Her defense of abortion rights puts her at odds with her husband’s position roughly a month from Election Day. Donald Trump regularly takes credit for the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which eliminated federal protections for abortion and led to the enactment of severe restrictions on the procedure in mostly Republican-led states. The former president has said, however, that he would veto a federal abortion ban if he is elected again and that the issue should be left up to the states to legislate.

Melania Trump has been largely absent from the campaign trail amid her husband’s third White House bid and has kept a low profile, except for the release of several videos on social media in recent weeks to promote her book, which is slated to be released next week. The video the former first lady posted Thursday includes a link to pre-order her book.

According to The Guardian, the former first lady writes in her book: “Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body? A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.”

The former president, meanwhile, has waffled on abortion rights over the course of his campaign, struggling at times to navigate an issue that has been politically fraught for Republicans in the post-Roe era. He said recently that he would not support a ballot measure to expand abortion access in his home state of Florida just 24 hours after suggesting he might. He has also taken to casting himself as a “protector” of women, claiming that American women won’t be “thinking about abortion” if he’s elected.

Thanks to the collusion between “American’ elites with foreign interests, especially China, America’s pharmaceutical institutions have become solely dependent on countries like China that want to destroy our republic. With the Ports shutting down in America thanks to what appears to be a far-left and grifter motivated strike by longshoremen, Americans that need drugs to stay alive may soon be dying after the current supply runs out.

While manufacturers and wholesale distributors may carry a month or more of certain drugs, as you get closer to the point of patient contact, namely providers and retail pharmacies, they carry a much more limited supply, potentially five to seven days in many cases.”

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released a damning report that reveals more than 13K murderers were let in, 9K sex offenders, and over 400K total convicted criminals, along with nearly 250K facing pending charges. The numbers show that 9 percent of the total 7.4 million allowed to illegally enter this country (thanks to illegal executive orders and a refusal to enforce existing laws) are criminals or charged with crimes.

The new data on all the criminal noncitizens coming into the U.S. is shocking.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) checks the background of illegal aliens they have in custody. But, the administration’s letter to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) shows that as of July 21, 2024, ICE let 435,719 convicted criminals and 226,847 people with pending criminal charges in their home countries into the U.S.

Of those cleared by ICE, 13,099 have convictions for homicide, and another 1,845 were facing criminal charges. Some 9,461 have convictions for sex offenses (not including assault or commercialized sex), and 2,659 face pending charges. The convictions include other crimes such as assault (62,231), robbery (10,031), sexual assault (15,811), weapons offenses (13,423), and dangerous drugs (56,533).

About 7.4 million noncitizens are in the “national docket data,” so 662,776 is 9% of the total, and if one extrapolates the numbers to the homicide rate in this country, it strongly indicates that the government is letting migrants into this country who commit murder at a rate 50% higher than the rest of the U.S. population.

And these numbers clearly underestimate the crime rate of these noncitizens. The noncitizens in the “national docket data” turned themselves in to border agents for processing or were caught. Those who don’t turn themselves in are obviously far more likely to have something to hide from those doing the processing, so-called “gotaways,” who are observed illegally entering the U.S. but not caught or turned back.

Biden deploys 1,000 soldiers as Helene death toll rises to 175– www.bbc.com

Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact in 100 seconds

US President Joe Biden has deployed an additional 1,000 active-duty soldiers to bolster aid efforts in the south-eastern US, after the region was pummelled by Hurricane Helene.

These soldiers will join the 6,000 National Guard members and 4,800 federal aid workers already fanned out across six states hit by extreme weather.

At least 175 people are now known to have been killed by Hurricane Helene, one of the deadliest storms to hit the US in recent times.

Hundreds of others remain missing, with search and rescue teams struggling to reach remote areas.

Aid deliveries have been made by airdrops and mules. The US government has said the clear-up effort could take years.

Biden is due to visit the badly-affected North Carolina and South Carolina states, while Vice-President Kamala Harris goes to neighbouring Georgia.

Both happen to be key swing states in November’s presidential election – and the storm has already become political after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump took his own trip to Georgia earlier in the week.

Helene hit the US on Thursday as a Category 4 hurricane – the most powerful on record to strike Florida’s Big Bend – before tearing through neighbouring states and downgrading to a tropical storm.

The scale of the rainclouds were unusual, and the storm lingered for relatively long periods. Saturated ground from previous rains was also an aggravating factor.

The BBC’s US partner CBS News has reported 175 deaths, recorded across six states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia.

The toll surpasses that of Hurricane Ian, which in September 2022 became another of the 21st Century’s deadliest storms – claiming at least 156 lives.

According to CBS, almost half of the deaths caused by Helene have been in North Carolina alone, where six months’ worth of rain fell.

The state’s mountainous areas suffered particularly heavy rain – as is typical in storm conditions – which resulted in homes and bridges being washed away.

One emergency official in Buncombe County – which includes the hard-hit city of Asheville – said the state had experienced “biblical devastation”.

A volunteer involved in relief efforts told the BBC on Tuesday they knew someone who had “lost everything” in Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and had moved to Asheville, only to be devastated again nearly two decades later.

“Looks like she’s wiped out again,” the volunteer said. “She has no drinking water. No gasoline. The food in her fridge has rotted.”

The extreme weather has also forced the closure of mines in Spruce Pine, a small town that is home to the world’s largest-known source of high-purity quartz.

In Tennessee, state authorities are investigating the operator of a plastics factory where 11 workers were swept away by rushing floodwaters on Friday. Five of the employees were rescued. Two have been confirmed dead and four more remain missing.

Impact Plastics told CBS in a statement it had monitored weather conditions around its Erwin plant in north-eastern Tennessee, and dismissed employees “when water began to cover the parking lot and the adjacent service road, and the plant lost power”.

But in interviews with local outlets, employees said they were allegedly told to continue work in the factory until it was too late for a safe exit.

Jacob Ingram, a mold changer at the factory, filmed himself and four others waiting for rescue as vehicles and debris were carried away by the muddy water surrounding him.

“I was working at impact when the storm hit yesterday,” Mr Ingram wrote in a post on Facebook, adding he and 11 others were trapped on the back of a semi-truck. “I’m lucky to be alive.”

Rebuilding efforts could take years, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has said. Biden has allowed survivors to apply for federal assistance money by making disaster declarations in various states.

On Monday, Biden referenced reports that up to 600 people were unaccounted for. “God willing, they’re alive,” he said. “But there’s no way to contact them again because of the lack of cell phone coverage.”

More than a million people in some of the affected states also remained without power on Wednesday morning, according to monitoring site Poweroutage.us.

Initial analysis of the storm already suggests that human-induced climate change played a significant role in the amount of rainfall that was dumped.

After Helene hit late on Thursday, record flood crests were measured in at least seven locations in North Carolina and Tennessee.

In parts of western North Carolina, records that had stood since the “Great Flood” of July 1916 were smashed.

The Atlantic hurricane season continues until the end of November. The waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean are currently above average temperatures, meaning that it is possible that still more powerful storms could develop.

The insurrectionist left is looking to purchase InfoWars, the media empire built by Alex Jones, who must now sell off his assets after an unjust lawsuit in which Jones was never allowed to make a credible defense against the charges. The court awarded the parents of the victims of Sandy Hook $1.5 billion, an amount that openly violates the 8th amendment, making cruel and unusual punishment unconstitutional.

Alex Jones’s Enemies Want to Buy InfoWars at Auction and Bastardize It With Leftist Propaganda | The Gateway Pundit– www.thegatewaypundit.com

Excerpt:

Last month, a bankruptcy judge ruled that the company must be liquidated and auctioned in order to help pay the unprecedented $1.5 billion judgement against him for defaming the families of the Sandy Hook massacre.

According to a report from Semafor, several media outlets, including Media Matters for America, are reportedly looking into bidding for the company just so they can bastardize it for their own purposes.

The report states:

The open auction has sparked some serious behind-the-scenes interest among liberal groups and some nonprofit organizations dedicated to fighting misinformation, who see it as an opportunity to transform an infamous source of online hatred, conspiracies, and oddities into something quite different.

Angelo Carusone, the president of the left-leaning conservative media watchdog group Media Matters for America, confirmed that the organization would explore bidding on InfoWars.“We are diligently considering this acquisition,” he said in an email.

Carusone said that in addition to taking control of the brand’s eponymous digital channels, he was equally interested in what InfoWars hasn’t published, and wondered if the archives could contain some interesting revelations.

Other left-leaning media players closer to home also see an opportunity. Jeff Rotkoff, the publisher of the new Texas-focused digital publication The Barbed Wire, told Semafor that although he isn’t currently in a position to buy the Austin-based company outright, he was having conversations with people in his network and was seriously considering how the site could partner with other interests or publishers to get in on the bidding.

In a brief telephone conversation this week, Rotkoff, who is also the Texas state director of Democratic-aligned super PAC Forward Majority, said that he remembers being baffled while watching Jones on local television decades ago when he was in college in Texas.

A third current executive at a left-leaning media company said they’d looked into it this week, and an adviser to several progressive nonprofit news organizations said they are speaking with big donors about placing a bid or launching a crowdfunding campaign.

Leticia James had a bad day at court this week, with appellate court judges questioning the legitimacy of the charges being filed in the first place given the first overriding fact that there were no victims in this “fraud.” One U.S. attorney, Joyce Vance, is convinced it is more likely than not the charges are about to be thrown out.

Vance declared in her podcast, “My crystal ball is never very good on appellate courts. It sounds like an outright reversal, right, as opposed to a reduction. Whether they’ll ultimately debate among themselves and split the baby in some way remains to be seen. This was not a good day in court for Tish James.”

Letitia James’ Donald Trump Win Under Threat of ‘Outright Reversal’—Lawyer – Newsweek

Excerpt:

New York Attorney General Letitia James’ win in former President Donald Trump‘s civil fraud case could be completely reversed, according to a former federal prosecutor.

Joyce Vance, a former U.S. attorney in Alabama, made the comments on the CAFE Insider podcast that she co-hosts with Preet Bharara, another former U.S. attorney.

Trump’s lawyers urged a New York appeals court on Thursday to reverse or reduce the nearly $500 million penalty in the case stemming from a lawsuit brought by James, a Democrat. Some of the judges on the court appeared receptive, with one calling the “immense” penalty in the case “troubling.”

Asked by Bharara if she wanted to predict the odds of “outright reversal versus reduction,” Vance said: “My crystal ball is never very good on appellate courts. It sounds like an outright reversal, right, as opposed to a reduction.”

She added: “Whether they’ll ultimately debate among themselves and split the baby in some way remains to be seen. This was not a good day in court for Tish James.”

Newsweek has contacted Vance for further comment.

James’ lawsuit led to Judge Arthur Engoron ruling in February that Trump had lied for years about his wealth on documents given to banks, insurers, and others to make deals and secure loans. The judge ordered the former president and the other defendants to pay more than $350 million in penalties—a sum that has now ballooned with interest to over $489 million.

Trump’s lawyer John Sauer said during arguments on Thursday that the penalty in the case was “draconian” and that there were no direct victims since the banks involved in the transactions were satisfied.

He argued that if the verdict is allowed to stand, “people can’t do business in real estate” without fearing they’ll face similar scrutiny.

Deputy New York Solicitor General Judith Vale argued the penalty was significant because “there was a lot of fraud and illegality.”

On CAFE Insider, Vance said that when appellate judges review a case, they are “very deferential to the finder of facts’ view of the facts.”

“In this case, it’s Judge Engoron who’s looking at facts and making these decisions, and they’ll defer to their decision about what the true facts are. But that’s not what this case is about now.

“It appears that these concerns are about legal theories and the way statutes were interpreted, and the appellate courts will take a fresh look at those issues and make up their own minds about whether they believe the trial judge got it right or wrong. So this is a verdict that’s really in jeopardy based on what we heard at oral argument.”

Department of Justice Sues Alabama to Keep Illegal Aliens on Voter Rolls › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

Excerpt:

The Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against the state of Alabama over its recent purging of illegal aliens from its voter rolls, demanding that non-citizens be put back on the rolls and allowed to vote in November.

According to Fox News, the lawsuit stems from Secretary of State Wes Allen’s (R-Ala.) decision to remove 3,251 people from the state’s voter rolls who have been issued non-citizen identification numbers, meaning that they are recognized by the federal government and still have to pay taxes despite being non-citizens. These numbers are issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and also serve to provide illegals with the means of getting driver’s licenses and providing proof of residence in the country.

“I have been clear that I will not tolerate the participation of noncitizens in our elections,” said Allen in a previous statement. “I have even gone so far as to testify before a United States Senate Committee regarding the importance of this issue. We have examined the current voter file in an attempt to identify anyone who appears on that list that has been issued a noncitizen identification number.”

Walz’s claim that he was in China during Tiananmen Square protests undercut by unearthed newspaper reports – CNN

Excerpt:

Newly unearthed reports contradict previous claims made by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz about his travel to China, including a claim that the Democratic vice presidential nominee traveled to China for a teaching position in 1989 during the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests that ended in hundreds of protesters killed by the Chinese government.

The discrepancy over Walz’s relationship to China comes ahead of Tuesday’s vice presidential debate in New York, where Republican allies of Ohio Sen. JD Vance have signaled that the GOP vice presidential nominee may use Walz’s history in China to attack his rival. Walz regularly organized and chaperoned trips to China during his time as a teacher prior to entering politics.

Walz had previously said he visited Hong Kong in “May of ’89,” weeks before the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing. During a 2014 hearing of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China honoring the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests, Walz, then a Minnesota congressman, appeared to recall specific details of his trip to China at that time.

“As a young man, I was just going to teach high school in Foshan in Guangdong, and was in Hong Kong in May of ’89,” he said. “And as the events were unfolding, several of us went in. And I still remember the train station in Hong Kong.”

DID KAMALA’S 60 MINUTES INFOMERCIAL WAKE UP THE GOP? – After the highly edited interview CBS’ 60 Minutes conducted of Kamala Harris was released, it was obvious to everyone who had access to any of the raw footage the edits were designed to put Kamala Harris in the best light possible. In other words, this was an infomercial, an illegal campaign ad created by CBS for the DNC-CCP.

As many of our readers know, this writer has long been calling for GOP Attorneys General to prosecute the MSM whenever and wherever it continues to violate campaign finance laws, advertising laws, and more (including inciting violence). Now, Donald Trump may have fired the first shot across the bow of the MSM, calling for CBS News to be investigated after the obvious campaign advertising edits were applied to the aired interview.

Trump wrote, “I’ve never seen this before, but the producers of 60 Minutes sliced and diced (‘cut and pasted’) Lyin’ Kamala’s answers to questions, which were virtually incoherent, over and over again, some by as many as four times in a single sentence or thought, all in an effort, possibly illegal as part of the ‘News Division,’ which must be licensed, to make her look ‘more Presidential,’ or a least, better.”

CBS’s Fake Kamala Interview Is Disinfo Meant To Sway Voters– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

In 2004, CBS News apologized and hired an independent panel to do an investigation after Dan Rather aired a bogus “October Surprise”-type story on President George W. Bush that was based on fake documents. The network was quick to recognize the potential damage that false reporting about a presidential candidate could do during an election, with the network firing the producer and Rather voluntarily leaving the network.

But while producing stories about political candidates that include inaccurate or manipulated material to interfere in an election was once considered career suicide, it is now standard editorial practice — if the propaganda press’ candidate of choice stands to benefit.

On Sunday, CBS News aired a clip of Vice President Kamala Harris stumbling through an answer to Bill Whitaker about why some foreign leaders disregard the Biden-Harris administration.

“We supply Israel with billions of dollars in military aid and yet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seems to be charting his own course,” Whitaker said. “The Biden-Harris administration has pressed him to agree to a ceasefire; he’s resisted. You urged him not to go into Lebanon; he went in anyway. He has promised to make Iran pay for the missile attack, and that has the potential of expanding the war. Does the U.S. have no sway over Prime Minister Netanyahu?”

Intelligence officials say US adversaries are targeting congressional races with disinformation – ABC News

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON — It’s not just the presidential election: Foreign governments are targeting House and Senate races around the country in their effort to meddle with American democracy this election year, intelligence officials warned Monday.

Russia and China have launched influence operations designed to help or hurt candidates in specific congressional races. Without giving specifics about the number of affected races, an official from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said Monday that both countries have zeroed in on races where they believe they have a national security interest at stake.

Other smaller nations may be trying their own influence operations, officials said. Cuba is “almost certainly” trying to boost candidates that the Cuban government believes would support their interests in America, according to a report on foreign election threats released Monday, roughly a month out from the election.

The warning from intelligence officials comes during a particularly tight battle for the House and Senate, where control could be decided by just a handful of races. While much of the attention has focused on attempts by foreign adversaries to influence the presidential race, Monday’s warning underscores the threat that online disinformation also poses in state and local contests.

‘Buying Down Premiums to Buy Votes’– www.dailysignal.com

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced in September that it would be reducing certain Medicare prescription drug premiums in what experts who spoke to the Daily Caller News Foundation called a ploy to buy votes before the November election.

Enrollees in the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit are slated to have lower average monthly premiums for their pharmaceutical drugs next year due to the Biden-Harris administration pouring billions into subsidies for insurers, with premiums set to fall $7.45 from $53.95 in 2024 to $46.50 in 2025, according to a press release from the agency.

The move by the Biden-Harris administration is a political bribe aimed at securing the votes of Americans aged 65 and over who have the highest voter turnout historically, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“The $2,000 cap [on Medicare out-of-pocket prescription drug costs], as well as other Inflation Reduction Act provisions were slated to triple the cost of Part D,” said Michael Cannon, director of health policy studies at the libertarian Cato Institute. “If millions of senior citizens see their premiums triple, they’d go to the polls and vote out those responsible. The Biden administration wanted to avert that.”

WASHINGTON – A chaotic election season isn’t likely to end on Election Day as challenges, slow counts and other problems are predicted to thwart a speedy decision on who has won the presidential race and other close races.

Elections are run by individual states, and there’s always been a difference in how quickly ballots are counted. California, for instance, is the slowest to tally results, and Florida the quickest.

But on Election Day 2024, other hurdles are expected in a presidential race that many analysts say is too close to call right now.

“Our work is not going to be done on election night,” predicted Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon, president of the National Association of Secretaries of States (NASS).

Besides post-election legal challenges to results, which Simon and many of his NASS colleagues expect, there are a host of other issues that threaten to unleash chaos on Nov. 5.

“The post-election period is going to be key,” Simon said. “It will be as fraught or more so than 2020.”

New York law changing local elections to even years ruled unconstitutional – Washington Examiner

Excerpt:

A New York judge ruled Tuesday that a state law that moves various local elections to even years violates the state constitution.

The law, signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) in 2023, would have moved various local elections, except New York City elections, to even years, in line with congressional and state elections. Various localities in the Empire State challenged the law for violating the state constitution’s protections for local governments to determine how their governments are set up.

State Supreme Court Justice Gerard Neri agreed with Onondaga County officials who brought the legal challenge against the state.

“The prerequisites of a special law were not followed, and the subject matter of the Even Year Election Law is inherently a local issue as it affects no state offices. The Even Year Election Law is unconstitutional as specifically prohibited by Article IX of the New York State Constitution,” Neri said in the ruling.

The Democrat Party has launched an initiative to flood the polls with nine million “overseas votes” despite the fact that feds say there are only 4 million eligible voters living overseas.

The Democrat voter fraud group called “Democrats Abroad” announced that it is looking to gather nine million votes from people they claim are citizens living overseas that are eligible to vote by mail in the 2024 elections.

The group, which describes itself as the “official Democratic Party arm” in charge of “mobilizing the overseas vote,” has put $300,000 toward the vote gathering project.

If this group does gather nine million votes, that number would far exceed the number of eligible overseas voters seen in 2016.

Voter Registration Group Giving Away Taylor Swift Tix Is Led by Eric Adams Operative—Who Was Convicted of Voter Fraud– freebeacon.com

Excerpt:

A voter registration group aligned with Democrats is led by a political operative convicted of voter fraud who now works for indicted New York City mayor Eric Adams, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.

Civic Innovation Works, a New York-based nonprofit, is using a variety of tactics to turn out voters in battleground states like North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona, according to analysis of its Facebook ads. At the center of its efforts is a contest offering two tickets to Taylor Swift’s November concert in Indianapolis. To qualify, entrants are required to enter their personal information—name, physical address, email address, phone number, and date of birth—in order to “check” whether they are registered to vote.

“Taylor’s got a message: Register to vote! Check your registration status, and you could win 2 tickets to her Nov 3rd show in Indianapolis. Are you in?” the ad reads.

Civic Innovation does not publicly declare a party affiliation, but the Swift-themed contest appears aimed at getting Democratic voters to the polls, leaning into the pop superstar’s recent endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. Civic Innovation is running the contest in conjunction with TargetSmart, a prominent Democratic data firm, and Vote.org, a “nonpartisan” charity that has historically aligned with liberal causes.

Harris/Biden Admin Fighting Attempts to Remove Noncitizens From Voter Registries – RedState– redstate.com

Excerpt:

The survival of any nation, any republic, like the United States, depends on defined, enforced borders and trustworthy elections. Right now, our republic has neither. Our borders have been thrown wide open to all and sundry since, oh, let me think, January of 2021, and now the Harris/Biden administration has filed a lawsuit against the sovereign state of Alabama over that state’s attempts to remove non-citizens from the voter rolls. This is a lawsuit that could have far-ranging implications.

On Sept. 9, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued guidance seemingly threatening legal action against governmental authorities and election integrity watchdogs who might work with them to clean voter rolls, should they endeavor to do so within 90 days of Election Day. The Biden-Harris DOJ claims such actions would violate the so-called “quiet period” provision of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993.

Now, the DOJ has made good on that threat, filing a lawsuit against the state of Alabama that could have national repercussions. At issue is an effort initiated by Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen on Aug. 13 — some 84 days from Election Day 2024 — to inactivate and seek to remove non-Americans among a population of 3,251 individuals registered to vote in the state but who have been issued noncitizen identification numbers by the Department of Homeland Security.

2020 FAKE ELECTION WHISTLEBLOWER AND GOLD STAR MOM THROWN IN PRISON FOR 9 YEARS – Former Mesa, Colorado Clerk Tina Peters was sentenced to 9 years in prison for the crime of documenting evidence that the 2020 election Arizona’s Mesa County was fraudulent. She sought to preserve the security passwords of the county’s Dominion voting system to document how the system was vulnerable to outsider hacking.

Peters, 68, is also a God Star mother, meaning she lost a child to war who was fighting to serve the American republic. Her sentence of 9 years is more lenient than illegal immigrants get for beating up the police. Peters’ defense of her actions highlights the criminality of this illegal conviction and treasonous sentencing from Democrats abusing their government powers to serve the party, even if it means denying basic American Rule of Law.

She stated, “We have a secretary of state that is drunk with power. She makes emergency decrees and when we query her – she refuses to answer in violation of the state law. When I started having citizens come to me and tell me that something didn’t’ seem right in our local city elections from years ago to our 2020 election I said if there is a there we will do something about it. I am a Republican — I am a conservative and she’s not and she weaponizes her position to attack people who disagree with her. I’ve been persecuted. They are trying to take over our election office. We are the last bastion of freedom in Colorado,” the Mesa County. “We have listened to people. They send me things from all over and there are some discrepancies there that I cannot deny or unsee.”

Alabama moves to toss out DOJ lawsuit on purging noncitizen voter registrations – Washington Examiner
Source Link
Excerpt:

Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the Department of Justice that argued the state was removing people from its voter registration list too close to Election Day, according to a court motion filed Wednesday.

Lawyers for Alabama’s attorney general argued that the state’s decision to switch more than 3,000 voters to inactive status was a legal move after the DOJ argued Allen violated a provision of the National Voter Registration Act that implements a “quiet period” in the 90 days before an election.

The Alabama attorneys said the lawsuit should be tossed out because the DOJ, as well as private plaintiffs who are part of the suit, did not identify any violation of the NVRA provision.

The NVRA, a landmark bill signed into law in 1993, requires states to complete “any program the purpose of which is to systematically remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters” before the 90-day quiet period begins.

Allen’s office identified 3,251 people on its voter rolls who could be noncitizens based, in part, on their alien numbers, which the Department of Homeland Security assigns to noncitizens, some of whom could become citizens.

Excerpt:

Nadine Williams, the Director of Fulton County Department of Registration & Elections, allegedly excluded qualified Republican poll workers from the hiring process for the upcoming November 2024 election.

The Republican National Committee (RNC), along with the Georgia Republican Party and the Fulton County Republican Party, has filed a lawsuit against Nadine Williams, the Director of Fulton County Department of Registration & Elections.

The lawsuit alleges that Williams intentionally excluded qualified Republican poll workers from the hiring process for the upcoming November 2024 election, hiring only 15 Republicans out of 804 total election staff.

The lawsuit, filed in Fulton County Superior Court, seeks an emergency writ of mandamus, demanding Williams immediately appoint the Republican poll workers that were submitted for consideration.

Under Georgia law, political parties are entitled to submit lists of qualified individuals to serve as poll workers, and election officials are required to ensure balanced representation from both parties at polling places.

However, according to the lawsuit, the RNC and its affiliates claim that Williams has outright ignored their lists, violating the state law meant to ensure fair elections.

Out of 62 qualified Republicans submitted to work on election day, only 6 were hired. Similarly, of the 45 Republicans who applied for early voting positions, a mere 9 were selected.

According to the filing:

“As of the date of filing this Application for Emergency Writ of Mandamus, RNC, GRP and Fulton GOP believe that a total of 62 individuals on their list have applied with Defendant to work on Election Day. However, Defendant has only hired 6 of these 62 qualified workers.

A large percentage of these 62 qualified workers have never been contacted or have no idea of whether Defendant Williams intends to issue an order of appointment.

Based upon information and belief, Defendant Williams has found that 12 of the 62 individuals that are willing to work on Election Day are qualified to work the elections. However, rather than issue an appointment, Defendant Williams has put these qualified poll workers “on reserve.”

Defendant Williams has ostensibly placed the RNC, GRP and Fulton GOP’s list of qualified workers at the back of the line for Election Day work.”

But when asked how officials ensure the system is only used by eligible voters, the office of Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar could only point to each voter’s word.

Nevada’s EASE system is “an online application that seamlessly integrates voter registration and electronic ballot delivery and marking.” EASE is described as “the first entirely online application, from registration to requesting a ballot to ballot delivery to a ballot marking system using a digital/electronic signature,” according to the secretary of state’s website.

Voters who are registered with EASE can use an electronic image that is already on file with the county or state to “mark a digital image of their ballot and return their ballot submission electronically, negating the requirement of printing and signing the ballot before returning it,” according to the secretary of state’s website. Gabriel Di Chiara, the secretary of state’s chief deputy, said the program “is entirely secure,” according to Nevada Current.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has once again stirred up controversy by criticising California’s recent legislation that prohibits local governments from mandating voter ID requirements. Following governor Gavin Newsom’s signing of the bill into law, Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice his disapproval.

The new law prevents local authorities from requiring residents to present valid identification in order to cast their vote.In his post, he expressed his concerns about election security and voter fraud, stating, “Wow, it is now illegal to require voter ID in California! They just made preventing voter fraud against the law. The Joker is in charge.”

His comment quickly generated a flurry of responses, with some supporting his viewpoint while others criticized his stance.
Users shared their apprehensions about the new legislation. One user wrote, “Democrats don’t even hide stealing elections anymore,” while another questioned, “If you need a driver’s license to drive a car, why wouldn’t you need an ID to vote in an election?”
In support of Musk’s position, a user commented, “The only reason. The only reason that you would ban voter ID is because you want to cheat. Period”.
However, another user countered this argument, saying, “Nah. New Zealand doesn’t require voter identification to vote or to enroll. It’s not “to cheat”. It’s to make voting as accessible as possible. If you call “allowing everyone who is legally able to vote, to vote as easily as they can” a form of ‘cheating’, well…”.

FEMA’S ANTI-DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN IS DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN DENYING MILLIONS SPENT FUNDING PLANVASION – The captured anti-American Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is spreading disinformation to attack truth by calling truth a lie. The agency, through Homeland Security Secretary Alehandro Mayorkas (one of the main engineers and executioners of the illegal Plandemic campaign currently being conducted the Democratic Party) claimed they weren’t funding illegal aliens after he said “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season. We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,”

The government’s own FEMA website, however destroys their efforts to spread fake news intended to incite violence against the victims of Hurricane Helene now claiming FEMA isn’t doing anything to help them (and is actually blocking aid and relief), stating they have spent more than $1 billion funding their “Shelter and Services Program,” a program designed to fund illegal aliens’ travel to America, as well as fund their “stay.”

The purpose is as plain as the nose on your face, to fund an illegal Planvasion intended to destroy the American Republic from within. From the website:

“The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) is administered by the FEMA in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). SSP provides financial support to non-federal entities to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The intent is to support CBP in the safe, orderly and humane release of noncitizen migrants from short-term holding facilities.”

Reports say that 2 dark-skinned Mideastern Men, armed with rifles and wearing “Jihadi” garb (robes and turban) were noticed by security at a church attempting to block entrances, allegedly trying to barricade the church members inside the building.

One of the armed security members of the church is reported to have fired at least 1 round, and both men fled northbound on Hwy 281 towards Lampasas, Texas.

WALZ COPS DON’T HAVE TO BE U.S. CITIZENS ANYMORE – Thanks to a bill signed into law by Democrat Vice Presidential Candidate and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a non-citizen woman from Somalia is about to walk the beat, armed with a gun, to arrest American citizens for violating American law. The officer, Lesly Vera, who has lived here since she was 4 (she is now 23), sets a dangerous precedent for police department across America as the DNC-CCP works to replace cops who won’t violate the constitution with those who will.

We give our police officers extreme power.  We provide them with the right to arrest us before we are convicted in court or even indicted by a Grand Jury.  We give them guns and qualified immunity to use those firearms.

Now, in Tim Walz’s Minnesota, a non-citizen Muslim from Somalia has all those special rights.

I’ll assume Somali-native Officer Lesly Vera is a good woman.  Now 23, she emigrated legally when she was four.  Although she has been here for 19 years, we wonder how much of America she really understands, and respects.  Rather than moving to a town where she could assimilate into our American culture, her mother took her to the largest Somali community in the U.S.

If a mother wants to adopt good American values, Minneapolis is a bad choice.  The reason the choice is bad extends beyond tampons in boys’ bathrooms. The Somali influx and influence in the North Star State is so strong, according to Wiki, almost 100,000 Minnesotans speak Somali at home.  Many were drawn to Minnesota’s huge welfare benefits, giving them free housing, free food, free medical care, and free education.  If you weren’t born here, you could name anything you need in Minneapolis, and a government program or charity will probably give it to you.  And when it comes to obeying the law… in parts of the city, Muslims have imported Sharia Law as an essential part of their culture.

Just before the Department of Justice sued Via for allegedly becoming a monopoly in the debit card market, former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had her husband Paul sell off more than $500K in Visa stocks, possibly enough as much as $1 million in stocks. The move makes it clear Pelosi is using her office to financially feather her own nest and it is perfectly legal for her and other congressmembers to do so.

Public records prove that Paul Pelosi, the husband of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), sold over $500,000 worth of Visa stock shortly before the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced antitrust charges against the company.

According to the New York Post, Pelosi’s transaction occurred less than three months before the announcement of the federal lawsuit on Tuesday. The DOJ alleges, after an investigation over the course of several years, that Visa has become a monopoly in the debit card market. The company, the DOJ claims, has subsequently used its position of power to punish customers and businesses who use rival payment processors.

A congressional filing from July 3rd revealed that Paul Pelosi had sold about 2,000 shares of Visa, worth at least $500,000 and as much as $1 million. The disclosure form was posted on X by Christopher Josephs, a tech entrepreneur and the owner of the “Nancy Pelosi Stock Trader” account, which documents Pelosi’s various stock dealings and scrutinizes the circumstances under which certain transactions take place.

It appears Elon Musk is ready to back down in his fight against Brazil’s Judicial branch of the government, specifically, his fight against Brazil’s head judge, Alexandre de Moraes. Moraes ordered X to remove certain politicians from its platform, or face being banned. Musk was defiant, so Moraes next moved against Musk’s other venture, Starlink.

The reports from the NY Times claim Musk and X have agreed to comply with the orders of the Brazilian court, but no official statement had been made. In addition to complying with orders, Musk has also agreed to pay all the fines as well.

Elon Musk, the owner of the X, has apparently backed down from his months long fight with the Brazilian judiciary.

Mr. Musk has agreed to pay fines and remove accounts the Brazilian top judge Alexandre de Moraes deemed threatening Brazil.

The decision to withdraw from the fight came when X was banned in Brazil for not complying with court orders.

According to the New York Times, X has agreed to implement court orders the platform ignored for months.

X previously failed to appoint a legal representative in the country, failed to block accounts that were threatening Brazil’s democracy and didn’t pay a fine.

While the platform didn’t respond to the court’s orders, the top judge Alexandre de Moraes ordered the seizure of X and Starlink linked accounts in Brazil.

Meanwhile, the Brazilian top court has said that they have not received proper documentation from the company showing it had appointed his legal representative.

Almost three months after a snap election saw France’s current President Emmanuel Macron’s party get effectively voted out of office, a new government is forming with a new Prime Minister, Michael Barnier, who will lead a center-right coalition parliament.

The appointment of Bruno Retailleau to Interior Minister signals the shift to the right for this government as Retailleau comes from the conservative Republicans Party, a party founded by former French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Among Macron’s new cabinet, only one leftist politician was represented.

Scientists uncover novel technique that could transform how we grow food: ‘An exciting opportunity for new scientific discovery’ – The Cool Down
Source Link
Excerpt:

As explained at Phys.org, the CABBI team of researchers published a pair of studies in the Journal of Experimental Botany revealing that they used genetic engineering to advance improvements in water use efficiency (WUE) in “climate-friendly” C4 bioenergy crops. WUE is a key plant trait that helps them grow with less water and withstand the stress caused by drought.

Another promising development is that the CABBI team achieved its goal without sacrificing yield, which will help make this method a viable option for crop production.

“It provides an exciting opportunity for new scientific discovery and engineering strategies,” CABBI postdoctoral researcher Daniel Lunn of Plant Biology, IGB, and the Center for Digital Agriculture at Illinois, and primary author of the second study, said per Phys.org

The technique uncovered by the CABBI team could make the difference needed to help curb the dire long-term outlook.

“Overcoming water limitations to crop production is really very central to achieving our mission of underpinning a profitable, sustainable, and resilient bioeconomy,” CABBI director Andrew Leakey, team leader on the two studies, said in the Phys.org post.

In addition to the findings from the CABBI team, there have been other incredible breakthroughs recently that could transform the way we grow food, making it more sustainable and efficient.

For instance, researchers have been making strides with indoor farms that can grow crops using 90% less water compared to traditional farming methods. These indoor farms are transforming how we think about local produce, making it more accessible while also conserving water.

Dr Reyes noted that the developments reflect the “significant progression” between both parties, even as both do not share formal relations.

Beijing severed diplomatic ties with the Holy See in 1951, after China’s Communist Party (CCP) took power and expelled foreign priests. The Vatican instead maintains official links with Taiwan – one of only a dozen states to do so.

Mr Yeo highlighted that Cardinal Chow, during his visit to the Vatican in May, extended an invitation to Pope Francis to visit Hong Kong. He views the gesture as significant, aimed at reinforcing the city’s role as a bridge between China and the global Catholic community.

Pope Paul VI is the only pontiff to have visited Hong Kong – he made a three-hour stopover in 1970 when it was a British colony, holding mass at Happy Valley racecourse.

“It was an informal invitation, but many eyebrows were raised because the Hong Kong cardinal would not have issued this invitation on his own, without clearance to China,” said Mr Yeo in an interview with CNA late last month.

China’s Mid-Autumn Festival holiday typically sees families reunite and give thanks, much like Thanksgiving in America. This year, Chinese-American pastor David Lin will have much to be thankful for when the holiday is marked on Tuesday. In a surprise move, Beijing freed the 68-year-old Sunday after he spent nearly 20 years in prison in a case the U.S. government and his family have always dismissed as baseless.

Lin entered China in 2006 and attempted to establish a Christian training center in Beijing. China‘s Communist Party disapproves of such activities and routinely roots out underground Christian churches, seeing them as a threat to its power. Only officially-sanctioned, closely monitored churches are permitted under the Communist Party’s rule.

Lin was detained the same year he arrived, then in 2009 he was handed a life sentence after being convicted of fraud. The charge is often applied to home church leaders who try to raise money for expansion, according to the Dui Hua Foundation human rights group.

The U.S. State Department, which always maintained that Lin was wrongfully detained by China, confirmed his release on Sunday. The Chinese government did not make any public comment on Lin’s release during the long holiday weekend.

As NATO members privately discuss and publicly comment on the possibility of allowing Ukraine to use long-range western weapons into the heart of Russia, Putin is warning such moves would be an act of war.

Canada has already signaled approval while Britain’s foreign minister is downplaying Putin’s rhetoric. So far, it seems the west is intent on going forward with plants that could, if you believe Putin, require NATO troops to be actively engaging in attacking Russia. The U.S. expanded sanctions against Russia’s medias companies as Russia launched a major drone assault on Kiev.

 

Putin Warns Russia at War with NATO if Ukraine Allowed to Fire Long-Range Missiles; Biden Dismisses Threat– www.cbn.com

Excerpt:

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s warning to NATO leaders that approval for Ukraine to use long-range Western-made missiles that could penetrate deep into Russia “would mean that NATO countries, the United States and European countries, are at war with Russia.”

When asked by reporters about the Putin threat, President Joe Biden essentially dismissed his warning, saying after a meeting Friday with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, “I don’t think much about Vladimir Putin.” Biden said he wanted to make clear that “Putin does not prevail in this war.”

Dmitri Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, asserted Saturday that a pending decision by the U.S. and NATO nations to approve Ukraine’s deployment of the missiles would possibly prompt Russia to use nuclear weapons, and he cautioned that Kyiv could be turned into a “gray melted spot.”

For much of this month, there have been indications that the U.S. and NATO might change the policy and allow Ukraine’s request to use the missiles. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken hinted at such a change on a visit to Kyiv earlier in September.

The head of NATO’s military committee, Admiral Rob Bauer from The Netherlands, indicated Saturday that Ukraine would be legally and militarily justified in launching the weapons.

“Every nation that is attacked has the right to defend itself. And that right doesn’t stop at the border of your own nation,” Bauer declared.

The U.S. State Department has announced new sanctions on Russian state media, accusing a Kremlin news outlet of working hand in hand with the Russian military and running fundraising campaigns to pay for sniper rifles, body armor and other equipment for soldiers fighting in Ukraine.

While the outlet, RT, has previously been sanctioned for its work to spread Kremlin propaganda and disinformation, the new allegations suggest its role goes far beyond influence operations. Instead, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday, RT is a key part of Russia’s war machine and its efforts to undermine its democratic adversaries.

“RT wants its new covert intelligence capabilities, like its longstanding propaganda disinformation efforts, to remain hidden,” Blinken told reporters. “Our most powerful antidote to Russia’s lies is the truth. It’s shining a bright light on what the Kremlin is trying to do under the cover of darkness.”

It looks the Democrats of California are ready to set aside their promised reparations for black Americans, reinstalling the ancient tradition of generational sin. They’re going to put a pause to patronizing their black fetishes and instead choose to fetishize their new favorite victim, the illegal immigrant.

If the California Democrats have their way, an illegal alien can expect to receive up to $150,000 from the American taxpayer for a down payment on a new home. This move is SURE not to drive housing costs up more in a market, California, that isn’t already burdened with high housing costs.

California Trashes Reparations Bills After Legislature Plans To Give Illegals $150,000 To Buy Homes – louderwithcrowder.com

Excerpt from www.louderwithcrowder.com

… Ancestral crimes are not a thing and no one should get “free” money but if anyone is going to get anything it should at least be American citizens. However, California Dems seem to disagree and will give illegal aliens up to $150,000 for a downpayment on a new home. In contrast, Black Americans are given the finger as the state legislator once pretended to care.

According to The Post Millennial:

While California lawmakers have passed legislation to grant illegal immigrants up to $150,000 toward home down payments in the state, a pair of bills aimed at providing reparations to black residents has stalled.

The pair of bills, authored by Democrat state Senator Steven Bradford, are Senate Bill 1331, which would have created a new state fund for reparations, and Senate Bill 1403, which would have created a new state agency to oversee these efforts and determine eligibility, according to Fox News.

A bill granting first-time homebuyers assistance with down payments from a taxpayer-funded home loan program passed the state Legislature on Wednesday, and the state Senate on Tuesday. California Governor Gavin Newsom has until the end of September to sign or veto the bill, according to the New York Post.

For a first-time home buyer, wouldn’t $100,000 be a downpayment on a million-dollar home?

Assembly Bill 1840 would expand the “California Dream for All” program and rename it the Home Purchase Assistance Program. It would allow for illegal immigrants to receive 20 percent of a home downpayment, up to $150,000.
