Ted Cruz challenges Democratic senator to condemn Antifa. She storms out of hearing instead.
Something must have struck a nerve

A Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing ended abruptly Tuesday, when ranking member Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) announced she could no longer listen to Chairman Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) speech on the threat of Antifa's violence in the U.S.

Before she left, Cruz offered Hirono the opportunity to condemn the actions of Antifa, but she refused — choosing to storm out, instead.

Trump Signs Executive Order Banning U.S. Financial Interactions with TikTok Parent ByteDance
Posted by: R. Mitchell in Trump Administration, White House Watch August 6, 2020

www.nairaland.com/attachments/12079887_trumpsignsorder_jpeg0be19797d5a306fc436777daa9b0061a

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday banning any U.S. persons or entities from engaging in business with ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company.

The order states that 45 days from today, “any transaction by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, with ByteDance Ltd. (a.k.a. Zìjié Tiàodòng), Beijing, China, or its subsidiaries, in which any such company has any interest,” will become illegal.

The order basically bans TikTok from the United States unless it is sold by its Chinese parent, ByteDance.

TikTok, although popular, has been identified by technology experts as a spyware tool that allows the Chinese government to gather tons of personal information from user’s phones. Congress has disallowed its use on government phones as have several U.S. companies.

The concern with the app is that there are next to zero privacy controls in China. Therefore, any data collected by TikTok was being funnelled straight to Beijing for the CCP to interpret and use in order to shape social media propaganda campaigns it runs like the massive one it is running during the Coronavirus lockdowns.

TikTok is a hypnotically cute social media app that is meant to appeal to those who prefer mindless, short content. And that stress-relief approach has allowed China to insert itself onto the phones of millions of Americans.

If you were designing a data-mining operation, wouldn’t you do it this way?

The executive order may be more intended to force TikTok to finalize its buyout by Microsoft sooner rather than later. Otherwise, it’s goodbye TikTok dances in the U.S.A.

Liberal Media Finally Admits Andrew Cuomo Killed Over 6,500 Nursing Home Residents

CBS This Morning has been covering for Andrew Cuomo for months, desperately hiding news about New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s disastrous policy of forcing nursing homes to take corona patients. On Wednesday, the program covered the story, but only as a way of bashing red state Florida for the system it set up.

Reporter David Begnaud explained, “I don’t know if you know this, but here in the U.S. more than 40,000 nursing home residents are believed to have died from the coronavirus and 6,500 deaths happened in the state of New York. There are hearings being held in New York to address those deaths and the policies that may have led to some of them.”

The World has always taken a beating from humans, but those beatings have now become potentially much larger.

Yesterday a horrific and powerful bomb detonated in Beirut, killing a great many. I read it was 1/5th the strength of the Hiroshima bomb. Our condolences to the victims.

The blast might be explained away as an accident (I doubt it–how could huge amount of dangerous chemicals be allowed to remain stockpiled so close to a major city? More likely it was set off intentionally to accomplish a goal known only to its perpetrators. Beirut was once listed among the most beautiful (and stable) cities in the world before it became a crossroads for war.

The United States was also beautiful and stable for a long while, thanks to our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Now the Marxists are ruining our cities and they want to destroy our country. The mass media and the Democrats are aligned with this. Too many powerful people at the top seem to want a Chinese communist system and they’re using their scamdemic as leverage to get it.

While we have all experienced ‘world weariness’ from time to time, the World has had to endure it for countless centuries because mankind’s follies are endless.

Intel officials altered finding Russia wants Trump to win in 2020 to spare themselves from the president’s anger:

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/intel-officials-altered-finding-russia-wants-trump-to-win-in-2020-to-spare-themselves-from-the-presidents-anger-report/

According to an extensive investigation into a National Intelligence Estimate complied by various U.S. intelligence agencies last July, the New York Times is reporting that a key “finding” indicating that Russian President Vladimir Putin is highly interested in keeping Donald Trump in the Oval Office past 2020 was omitted by officials fearing the president’s wrath.

However one of the key findings, under the category of “key judgments,” listed “Key Judgment 2 was that in the 2020 election, Russia favored the current president: Donald Trump.”

The Great Race – Ben Garrison Cartoon
Ben Garrison in Political Cartoons August 4, 2020

Gentlemen, start your engines!

The basement-dwelling Joe Biden is obviously mentally impaired. He’s also way too old. He said he only wants one term. He has run for President before and did very badly. He’s a proven liar. He's corrupt to the marrow.



Joe's family grew rich because of his graft. He's a walking gaffe machine. He's an awful debater. He has been accused of sexual assault. He gropes and sniffs children on stage even though he knows it's an issue. In normal times Joe Biden wouldn't stand a chance.

These are not normal times.

Despite Joe's series of fumbling faux pas and his inability to focus, he has a chance to win the Presidency, and it's because of the current attempt by the Democrat socialists to overthrow our Government.

Sleepy Joe was chosen as the Democratic nominee (yes it was rigged) because he’s a familiar name, yet an empty vessel. He's a figurehead and placeholder for his running mate. The vice Presidential candidate will be chosen for him.

Hillary will do the choosing. Hillary is running the Democrat Party from behind the scenes. While evil, Hillary is also very smart and she learned from her failure in 2016. She knows she remains very unpopular. She knows she lost the meme war on social media. She knows her husband is a rapist and paedophile and she possibly is too. Therefore a surrogate was necessary. Joe Biden.

Hillary made sure the social media problem was addressed and now we have open censorship. The plannedemic will allow the Democrat Party to take advantage of mail-in voting, which will be rife with corruption (in favour of Democrats, of course). Trump's strong economy has been trashed. The Russia collusion hoax and impeachment did not work, but the virus is working. The virus offers a good excuse for them to keep Joe in his basement ahead of the election.

If Kamala Harris is chosen, then we'll know for sure that Hillary’s fat fingered prints were all over this. Harris is Hillary's puppet. She does Hillary's bidding. It means Harris will be President and Hillary will be the shadow President. Remember, Harris said if the White House is regained, they’ll be coming after Trump supporters—the people Hillary insulted as 'deplorables.'

If Biden wins, then our Republic will be done. Trump's victory is imperative.

—Ben Garrison

The Democratic Party: Racists From The Beginning
Gina Marie in Opinion, Trending Commentary August 7, 2020
DEMOCRATS RACISM
www.nairaland.com/attachments/12089911_thedemocraticpartyracistsfrom_jpeg83eff50d7cc2cc3259f9b8da3bab29a0

You can always tell when someone has a guilty conscience or when they feel guilty of doing something wrong. Typically they gravitate toward behaviours that would remove any attention away from them and direct it elsewhere. Only one political party in the United States has a history of racism and that's the Democratic Party. Republicans were the Party of Lincoln, Reconstruction, anti-lynching laws, and the civil rights acts of 1875, 1957, 1960, and 1964. So what is the Democratic Party guilty of? They are the Party who have always been aligned with the KKK, Jim Crow Laws and Margaret Sanger to name a few.

One can only imagine the guilt democrats must carry decade after decade due to the shameful, yet well disguised, racism they pretend to despise. Democrats have erased people like Josiah Walls, Hiram Rhodes Revel and Joseph Hayne Rainey from history books a long time ago. Removing their past has been an ongoing process over the years. It is the Democrats, not Republicans, who try to entice people of colour with duplicitous incentives and false narratives. It is the Democrats who overwhelmingly try to convince the black community they are the saviours of civil liberties in this country.

The Democratic Party has always been pro slavery. In the late 1850’s the Republican Party came into being as a response and in opposition of the Democratic Party. The first seven African Americans elected to office happened between 1865 and 1877 and they were all Republicans. Most black Americans were Republicans at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

By the mid 1860's the Republican Party, who was aligned with African Americans, put quite a strain on Democrats and that resulted in the democratic creation of the KKK. The relationship between the two groups, the KKK and Democratic Party, was confirmed during the 1868 DNC when General Nathan Bedford Forrest, a former Civil war general, was made the first Grand Wizard of the KKK. The KKK was part of the Confederate Democratic Party from 1865 to Reagan and the ideals of structural racism remained until and beyond Bill Clinton. It was the Democratic Party and its leaders who created structural racism to maintain political power.

In spite of their attempts to remove history from their timeline it is still well documented in a thirteen volume set of Congressional investigations beginning 1872. “The official documents, titled Report of the Joint Select Committee to Inquire Into the Condition of Affairs in the Late Insurrectionary States, irrefutably proves the KKK's prominent role in the Democratic Party."

Jim Crow Laws were another way to control and promote racism in the United States by the Democratic Party. They were intended to oppress anyone of colour, which included Sicilians, spread segregation and prevent individuals from getting jobs. “The Democrats of the recent past wrote laws which segregated public schools, restaurants, transportation, rest rooms and public places in general (everything from water machines to public beaches)." Citation USA Today Network Many of the monuments depict Confederate Democrat Party Leaders of the past.

Margaret Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood and a Democrat. Sanger and her beliefs are idolised by Democrats and still are today. In 2009 Hillary Clinton won the Planned Parenthood award where she said,

"I admire Margaret Sanger enormously her courage, her tenacity, her vision . . . And when I think about what she did all those years ago in Brooklyn, taking on archetypes, taking on attitudes and accusations flowing from all directions, I am really in awe of her."

So, who is Margaret Sanger and what were her beliefs? Sanger founded Planned Parenthood, The Birth Control Review and she embraced eugenics.

“Eugenics encouraged people of so-called healthy, superior stock to reproduce and discouraged reproduction of the mentally challenged or anyone who fell outside the social norm. Eugenics was popular in America during much of the first half of the twentieth century, yet it earned its negative association mainly from Adolf Hitler's obsessive attempts to create a superior Aryan race."[1] Supporter of Eugenics include Francis Galton, Hitler and Josef Mengele.

Sanger was also one of the founding Foremothers of the Progressive Movement. Some of her beliefs and teachings included:

“The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it." [2]

“We want a world freer, happier, cleaner we want a race of thoroughbreds." [3]

“We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members" [4]

Planned Parenthood is the largest provider of abortions nationwide. They have done a great job in creating the illusion that they benefit anyone of colour. Seventy nine percent of Planned Parenthood abortion facilities are located in walking distance from Latina or Black communities. In tracking the abortion industry it clearly shows that they target women of colour. They use tactics which include career and education as being more important over the lives of their babies. Planned Parenthood has consistently refused to publish data on the proportion of abortions and sterilization of minorities worldwide.

“Between 2007 and 2010, nearly 36 percent of all abortions in the United States were performed on black children, even though black Americans make up only 13 percent of our population. A further 21 percent of abortions were performed on Hispanics, and 7 percent more on other minority groups, for a total of 64 percent of U.S. abortions tragically performed on minority groups" [5]

“Many legislators benefit from Planned Parenthood's generosity. “This month, several Democratic U.S. senators incredibly cited race when opposing a bill requiring medical aid for babies born alive after a botched abortion. One stated that black babies are three times more likely to die in their first year, which is an odd reason to withhold care from them. Another senator cited racial disparities in the healthcare industry to justify not giving lifesaving aid to already-born infants. A third Democratic senator cited abortion as a means of lowering the 700 maternal mortality cases each year in the United States." [6]

Today, 500,000 unborn black babies die a year. The most dangerous place for a black child today is in the womb of its own mother. The Child has a 50% chance of living or dying.[7]

Will Judge Sullivan Be Removed From The Michael Flynn Case?
The Thoughtful Conservative in Opinion, Trending Commentary August 7, 2020



When the Department of Justice decided to drop the case against former national security advisor Michael Flynn, the case, for all intent and purposes, should have been dismissed by the presiding judge. Unfortunately, rather than dismissing the case, federal district judge Emmet Sullivan issued an order inviting third party groups to file amicus briefs regarding the Department's decision to drop the case. The judge's decision was ultimately overturned by a three-judge appeals court panel. Again, rather than simply dismissing the case, Judge Sullivan filed a petition for rehearing for an en banc review by the full court for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, agreed to hear oral arguments on August 11, 2020. Initially, the court agreed to hear arguments regarding the writ of mandamus. However, on August 5, 2020, the court entered another order directing the parties to be ready to address the applicability of several statutory provisions relating to the issue of judicial impartiality. Given the court's recent order and Judge Sullivan's role/conduct in Flynn's case to date, there is a strong argument that he should be removed/disqualified from this case.

According to 28 U.S. Code §455:

(a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

(b) He shall also disqualify himself in the following circumstances:

(1) Where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding;

(5) He or his spouse, or a person within the third degree of relationship to either of them, or the spouse of such a person:

(i) Is a party to the proceeding, or an officer, director, or trustee of a Party.

The language of this statue is clear and compels a judge to disqualify him/herself under certain circumstances. More particularly, subsection (a) compels disqualification when the judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned. While this does not require certainty, it will likely require a detailed and fact-specific analysis by the court as to whether the judge’s conduct, etc. made it reasonable to question his impartiality in Flynn’s case. Various Circuits have interpreted this provision differently. For example, some, but not all, Circuits have held that close questions should be decided in favour of disqualification.

Subsection (b) of the statute is much clearer and compels disqualification if the judge is a party to the proceeding. According to Section (d), the term “proceeding" includes pretrial, trial, appellate review, or other stages of litigation.

In light of this language, there is a question as to whether Judge Sullivan made himself a “party" to the lawsuit when he filed the Petition for Rehearing. In other words, by filing the petition, Flynn's counsel could very well argue that Judge Sullivan injected himself into the case as a party, thereby cementing his immediate disqualification in Flynn’s case. As a matter of fact, Judge Sullivan also appears to be named as a “party" in the court's recent Order and is allotted 20 minutes to present oral arguments. Therefore, if judge Sullivan is deemed to be a party, disqualification is mandatory pursuant to (b)(5)(i).

The court's August 5, 2020 order added a new wrinkle to this already convoluted case. By ordering the parties to address the issue of judicial impartiality and disqualification, the court could rule on the issue of mandamus and/or also decide that Judge Sullivan should be removed from the case because he is a party to the proceeding and/or because his partiality can reasonably be questioned.

Hopefully, the court issues its ruling in relatively quick fashion. Until then, Michael Flynn's freedom continues to hang in the balance.

(i) Is a party to the proceeding, or an officer, director, or trustee of a Party.

The language of this statue is clear and compels a judge to disqualify him/herself under certain circumstances. More particularly, subsection (a) compels disqualification when the judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned. While this does not require certainty, it will likely require a detailed and fact-specific analysis by the court as to whether the judge’s conduct, etc. made it reasonable to question his impartiality in Flynn’s case. Various Circuits have interpreted this provision differently. For example, some, but not all, Circuits have held that close questions should be decided in favor of disqualification.

Subsection (b) of the statute is much clearer and compels disqualification if the judge is a party to the proceeding. According to Section (d), the term “proceeding” includes pretrial, trial, appellate review, or other stages of litigation.

In light of this language, there is a question as to whether Judge Sullivan made himself a “party" to the lawsuit when he filed the Petition for Rehearing. In other words, by filing the petition, Flynn’s counsel could very well argue that Judge Sullivan injected himself into the case as a party, thereby cementing his immediate disqualification in Flynn’s case. As a matter of fact, Judge Sullivan also appears to be named as a “party" in the court's recent Order and is allotted 20 minutes to present oral arguments. Therefore, if judge Sullivan is deemed to be a party, disqualification is mandatory pursuant to (b)(5)(i).

The court's August 5, 2020 order added a new wrinkle to this already convoluted case. By ordering the parties to address the issue of judicial impartiality and disqualification, the court could rule on the issue of mandamus and/or also decide that Judge Sullivan should be removed from the case because he is a party to the proceeding and/or because his partiality can reasonably be questioned.

Hopefully, the court issues its ruling in relatively quick fashion. Until then, Michael Flynn’s freedom continues to hang in the balance.

I'm just the messenger... But here you go....
I’ve been researching this crap for awhile...The FBI uncovered a sex trafficking ring in Boystown, right outside of Omaha Ne. That was back in the late 80’s early 90’s when Barney Franks was a Senator. The FBI field director’s name was run into the ground , he was forced out of the FBI, and eventually was suicided.
Pizzagate is real.
It isn’t some conspiracy theory.
It's real. It’s always been real. And you can’t convince me otherwise.
If you think the Wayfair Stuff makes you sick, then wait.
Because what you’re seeing is just a small piece to a HUGE puzzle.
This runs deep.
People laughed at Pizzagate…. They aren’t laughing anymore.
Human trafficking is real.
It’s one of the classes you take when you’re fostering/adopting. It’s at least 4 hours.
Elite paedophilia is real. Organ harvesting is real.
It’s not a new phenomenon. It’s not something that just started. It’s been going on for YEARS.
It’s not something that is just going on in the US. It’s happening all over the world.
It involves Hollywood. It involves politicians on both sides. It involves the Rich. People you look up to are involved.
And I get it. It’s hard to wrap your head around what’s going on. It’s hard to imagine something so dark and disgusting going on right under your nose.
It’s hard to imagine something so evil is happening to our children.
It’s easy to laugh it off as some conspiracy theory.
Oh no, not my favourite actor, singer, or politician. Oh no, not Hillary. She can’t be involved. She was going to save us from Trump.
The international Labor Organisation estimates 40.3 MILLION human trafficking victims GLOBALLY.
If you think this is still a hoax or don’t want to come to terms with the fact that an Elite Paedophilia ring exists, ask yourself this:
⭐️Everyone knew about Epstein and his love for underage girls.
⭐️People were calling Little Saint James "Paedophile Island" since Epstein purchased the island in 1998.
⭐️With that knowledge, why did Bill Clinton and Obama visit Epstein’s paedophile Island? Multiple times?
⭐️Why did the locals report seeing dozens of young kids being taken across there for years?
⭐️Why was Bill Gates a regular visitor there?
⭐️Prince Andrew…. Do I need to say more and why is The Queen going around threatening anyone to run the story if it’s not true?
⭐️You mean to tell me that all these prominent men and women went to this paedophile island for one big party? Knowing what they knew about him? It wasn’t a secret.
⭐️What was Epstein using the underground tunnels for?
⭐️Who was Ghislaine Maxwell?
⭐️Did you know she owned a submarine company?
⭐️Did you know she has her sub pilot license?
What could she possibly need a submarine pilot license for?
⭐️Did you know that yachts with submarines were used to transport kidnapped children from Haiti to Epstein's paedophile Island?
⭐️What about Laura Silsby? The woman who was tried in Haiti for trying to sneak and KIDNAP 30 children to bring them to the US. Clinton’s used executive order to bring her back without being charged.
⭐️The kicker…… guess who changed their legal name and is in charge of amber alert— Laura Silsby… but let’s not mention that…. People who dig down that hole end up dying….
⭐️Did you know the TerraMar project was founded by Clinton Foundation and was located in the Lynn De Rothschild property in Manhattan?
⭐️Chelsea Clinton and Ghislaine are reported to be very close and actually vacationed together. You mean to tell me that Chelsea didn’t know about Ghislaine?
⭐️Remember when Chelsea’s wedding was paid for with money that was supposed to feed starving Haitian children?
⭐️Why did Hillary put Ghislaine’s nephew in charge of key Middle East policy decisions when she ran the State Department? You know… the one overseeing US/Libya policy that got an ambassador killed.
⭐️What about the Podesta Emails?
⭐️What was up with John and Tony Podesta’s artwork?
⭐️Would you own any of that creepy “art”?
⭐️Why would Obama buy $65,000 worth of tax payers money to have hot dogs fly in from Chicago for a private party?
⭐️Did you know that hotdog is an FBI code word for young boys?
⭐️Who is James Alefantis?
⭐️A pizza restaurant owner in DC. Who happens to be named one of the most powerful people in DC-A pizza place? A man that owns a children's pizza place? A man that has close ties with the Clinton's, Obama, Epstein and many more?
⭐️Have you seen his Instagram? Oh you probably haven’t… you’re just now looking into everything.
⭐️Have you looked up the art that is in his pizza place?
⭐️You want your kids seeing that stuff?
⭐️What about the dark web login to get into his site and order pizza that cost thousands of dollars? Oh wait… that was taken down.
⭐️What is a pizza place owner doing communicating with the White House?
⭐️What about the Hollywood actor that walked into comet pizza and shot at a locked closet door? The same closet that housed his computer which ended up with a bullet through the hard drive? Odd.
⭐️What about Anthony Weiner? All the emails found on his laptop?
⭐️You mean to tell me that his wife, Huma Abedin, had no knowledge of what was going on?
⭐️Huma and her friend Hillary had NO clue about this 15 year old girl?
⭐️What about the folder titled “Life Insurance”?
⭐️You know the one that housed the now famous videos titled "Frazzledrip" with Huma and Hillary. You want nightmares, read about those videos!!
⭐️The same Huma and Hillary who 9 NYPD have “committed” suicide after watching a horrific video of them doing unspeakable things to little girl? The same NYPD who threw up because what they saw was horrific?
⭐️Speaking of suicide, why have 57 former colleagues and associated ended up dead in the past 30 years? 15 have died of suicide. 8 died in a plane, car, or motorcycle accident and 14 have been found mysteriously murdered. All of these people had info that could have potentially hurt the Clinton's career. I don’t even have 57 friends �� let alone know 57 people that I need to add to a hit list.
⭐️Why is James Comey’s daughter the lead prosecutor on the Epstein sex trafficking case?
⭐️Former CEO of Reddit, Ellen Pao admitted they Knew Ghislaine supplied underage girls for Epstein and his pedo buddies?
⭐️The Norwegian Royal Family implicated in Epstein Scandal? Why? Not surprising considering Prince Andrew.
⭐️What about Oprah’s mentor? John of God and Weinstein. You mean to tell me Oprah didn’t know? Come on nowww...
⭐️Have you even heard of the NXIVM case? They were just running a sex cult where Smallville actress, Allison Mack was arrested and indicted on federal charges related to sex trafficking.
⭐️The McMartin Preschool. The Franklin Cover up. Seth Rich. Isaac Kappy. Boystown. The Finders. The list goes on and on...
⭐️Denish Hastert…. Do you know him? You should. Good buddies with Podesta….
⭐️Robert Menendez. Mike Folmer. Prominent democratic donor, Terry Bean. David Byrd. George Byrd. All known prominent paedophiles.
Why don’t we hear more about Biden’s Island? Very close to Epstein’s Island.
The Podesta brothers were known suspect’s years ago when little Madeline McCain was stolen from her parent’s hotel while on vacation.
What ever happened to her?
This doesn’t even cover a quarter of what is going on. This is so much more than Epstein. It’s so much more than Ghislaine. This runs deep and you’re going to be shocked at the ending.
I’m not interested in hypotheticals, rumours or factless connections.
Everything. Everything ties together. Everything is connected.
So while others are more concerned about COVID, I’m more concerned about saving our children. Aren't you?
Pass it on... if you believe one scintilla of the above before the Facebook police get rid of it...

See how Obama fits into the plot.
Re: US Politics Today! by DCatt: 3:48am On Aug 09, 2020
Sad scene as the entire white house staff came out to see Trump leave the white house on Thursday for whirlpool factory in Ohio and then to his resort in New Jersey where he will stay for sometime.

Ohio people lined the street to greet Trump.

He had to leave to save the lives of hundreds of people working in the white house as democrats could kill everyone in there just to get Trump.

ICYMI - POTUS speaking at Whirlpool yesterday.

“I have a lot of enemies out there. This may be the last time you see me for a while."

People can no longer say things like #freeGenFlynn

Isn't it funny that the coronavirus is so smart, it knows Trump by name and follows him everywhere?

1. As soon as Trump showed interest in North Carolina for a rally, the virus surged there.

2. As soon as Trump announced Jacksonville Florida as the new location the covid19 cases doubled overnight there.

3. And 2 hours before Trump landed in Ohio, the governor there was tested positive and then tested negative when Trump left.
