Trump signs executive order to ban Tiktok in 45 days

https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/tiktok-shocked-executive-order-sue

Trump issued the order against TikTok and a twin order against Chinese-owned app WeChat, which will take effect in 45 days, on Thursday night, citing security and privacy concerns related to the apps.

"We are shocked by the recent executive order, which was issued without any due process," TikTok said in a statement. "For nearly a year, we have sought to engage with the U.S. government in good faith to provide a constructive solution to the concerns that have been expressed."

Major announcement later this morning at 11.30am

Trump’s Bank Was Subpoenaed by N.Y. Prosecutors in Criminal Inquiry
The subpoena, sent to Deutsche Bank, suggests that the inquiry into President Trump’s business practices is more wide-ranging than previously known.
The New York prosecutors who are seeking President Trump’s tax records have also subpoenaed his longtime lender, a sign that their criminal investigation into Mr. Trump’s business practices is more wide-ranging than previously known.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office issued the subpoena last year to Deutsche Bank, which has been Mr. Trump’s primary lender since the late 1990s, seeking financial records that he and his company provided to the bank, according to four people familiar with the inquiry.
The criminal investigation initially appeared to be focused on hush-money payments made in 2016 to two women who have said they had affairs with Mr. Trump.
But in a court filing this week, prosecutors with the district attorney’s office cited “public reports of possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization” and suggested that they were also investigating possible crimes involving bank and insurance fraud.

Deutsche Bank complied with the subpoena. Over a period of months last year, it provided Mr. Vance’s office with detailed records, including financial statements and other materials that Mr. Trump had provided to the bank as he sought loans, according to two of the people familiar with the inquiry.
The bank’s response to the subpoena reinforces the seriousness of the legal threat the district attorney’s investigation poses for Mr. Trump, his family and his company, which in recent years have faced — and for the most part fended off — an onslaught of regulatory, congressional and criminal inquiries.

1Sharon:
New footage from George Floyd's case has now been released. And why did the MSM never show this footage to begin with to give the public some context?


They want hatred and division.

Had the facts been laid bare, the riots and protests may have NEVER happened.

Who can see what is being done here?
The riots happened because for almost 9mins a police officer knelt down on the neck of a restrained (hand-cuffed) black man and not for what happened before the incident.

if George Floyd didn't want to get inside the police patrol vehicle, the officers could easily have called for a big van for back up to ferry him to the police station. Yes George Floyd might have committed a crime (allegedly he presented a fake $20 bill) the police officer should not be the judge and jury. Ask yourself a question, will the police officer have knelt on the neck of a white man?

There's nothing Trump can do to change his cultists from kissing his rear. You see that with the cultists here. He could deploy a drone to kill all their family members in their villages and the Coons and Cultists on Nairaland will find justification for him killing their family members. How one demented 74 year old man can have such dominance over people is beyond my imagination. The good thing is in 3 months, judgement will descend on him.
Trump’s Axios Interview Was A 37 Minute Non-Stop Disaster

https://www.politicususa.com/2020/08/04/trump-axios-interview.html


Trump gave an interview that confirmed what the vast majority already believe about his virus response and made him a one-term president.

Trump shrugged off coronavirus deaths as it is what it is, “They’re dying. That’s true. It is what it is. It is under control as much as you can control it. This is a horrible plague that beset us.”

Trump spent more time bragging about his ratings on Fox News for his Tulsa rally than he spent discussing the deaths from the coronavirus.

Here is Trump inflating his Tulsa crowd size:

Trump is trying to make everybody forget the empty arena in Tulsa by claiming that 12,000 were there. Only a little more than 6,000 people attended by the official.

The human garbage named Trump is not even worthy enough to attend the final home going of an honorable man like the Late Congressman John Robert Lewis. The other living Presidents who attended his funeral except President Carter who is 95 know the worth of the Conscience of the Congress. Trump is as fake as a $3 Bill and in less than three months, his terrible regime will be on the way out courtesy of Tens of millions of Americans.
The look on Jonathan Swan, an Australian journalist is priceless, it's amazing that the likes of Hannity, Tucker and others American journalists cannot hold a thorough fact-based interview such as this in the past 4 years with Donald Trump

@jonathanvswan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the U.S. is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.”

@realdonaldtrump: “You can’t do that.”

@jonathanvswan: “Why can’t I do that?”

@realdonaldtrum: "I think it's under control."

@jonathanvswan: "How? A thousand Americans are dying a day."

@realdonaldtrum: "They are dying. That's true. And it is what it is."

Everyone living in America and who can vote must be able to watch the interview

Trump says Lewis made 'big mistake' by not coming to his inauguration

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/510392-trump-says-lewis-made-big-mistake-by-not-coming-to-his-inauguration

President Trump declined to say during a new interview whether he found the late Rep. John Lewis's (D-Ga.) life "impressive," adding that the longtime lawmaker and civil rights icon should have come to his inauguration.

When asked how he thinks history will remember Lewis, Trump told Jonathan Swan on "Axios on HBO": “I don’t know. I don’t know John Lewis.”

“He chose not to come to my inauguration. I never met John Lewis, actually, I don’t believe,” Trump added.

The president said that he couldn’t “say one way or the other” whether he found Lewis’s life “impressive.”

“I find a lot of people impressive. I find many people not impressive,” Trump said during the interview, which aired late Monday.

Not handling the pandemic well’: Man fires at officers with AK-47 after refusing to wear a mask, police say

When a cigar shop clerk told Adam Zaborowski on Friday he had to wear a mask in the shop, the 35-year-old angrily refused. Instead, he grabbed two stogies, stormed outside — and then pulled a handgun and shot at the clerk, Bethlehem Township, Pa., police said.
The next day, cornered near his home, Zaborowski allegedly fired at police with an AK-47, sparking a wild shootout with at least seven officers that ended with him shot multiple times and under arrest.

Adam M. Zaborowski. He literally fired an actual AK-47 at police after refusing to wear his mask in a convenience store. He shot at the workers too. He is alive. Compare that with George Floyd Philando Castile Breonna Taylor Tamir Rice Eric Garner.

President Donald Trump on Sunday backed down on his plan to ban the popular short video app TikTok, allowing Microsoft 45 days to negotiate a purchase of the platform.

As Breitbart News reported, Trump said Friday night on Air Force One he was prepared to ban TikTok — currently owned by Chinese technology company ByteDance, something he has floated before.

Manhattan D.A. Is Investigating Trump and His Company Over Fraud, Filing Suggests

The Manhattan district attorney’s office suggested on Monday that it has been investigating President Trump and his company for possible bank and insurance fraud, a significantly broader inquiry than the prosecutors have acknowledged in the past.

The office of the district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., made the disclosure in a new federal court filing arguing Mr. Trump should have to comply with its subpoena seeking eight years of his personal and corporate tax returns. Mr. Trump has asked a judge to declare the subpoena invalid.

The prosecutors did not directly identify the focus of their inquiry but said that “undisputed” news reports last year about Mr. Trump’s business practices make it clear that the office had a legal basis for the subpoena.

The reports, including investigations into the president’s wealth and an article on the congressional testimony of his former lawyer and fixer, Michael D. Cohen, said that the president may have illegally inflated his net worth and the value of his properties to lenders and insurers. Lawyers for Mr. Trump have said he did nothing wrong.

Trump Slams Deborah Birx After She Warns of Covid Surge

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/trump-bashes-dr-birx-for-wilting-under-pelosi-criticism-she-took-the-bait-hit-us-pathetic/

Trump was responding to Birx’s Sunday interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, where the White House Coronavirus Task Force coordinator faced questions about the recent surge in Covid-19 cases around the country. Birx also used the opportunity to respond to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who reportedly accused her of helping Trump spread pandemic misinformation.

Trump’s tweet comes a day after White House Director of Strategic Communications Alyssa Farah rebuked Pelosi by calling it “deeply irresponsible” and “wrong” to “repeatedly try to undermine & create public distrust in Dr. Birx.”

President Donald Trump attacked Dr. Deborah Birx in an apparent response to her warning that the United States is entering a “new phase” of the coronavirus pandemic.

Alan Dershowitz defends himself after name surfaces in Maxwell, Epstein documents
By Lia EustachewichJuly 31, 2020 | 9:17am

Attorney Alan Dershowitz defended himself from sex abuse claims Friday after his name appeared in a slew of unsealed documents related to a since-settled defamation case involving Ghislaine Maxwell.

The emeritus Harvard Law professor was accused of having sex with then-minor “Jane Doe #3” — identified in court documents as Virginia Roberts Giuffre — and witnessing Jeffrey Epstein and others sexually abusing girls and young women.

The allegations, lodged in a 2014 court filing, reemerged in more than 600 pages unsealed Thursday night in Giuffre’s 2015 defamation case against Maxwell.

Dershowitz claims the document dump exonerates him.
