‘We Blew It’: Actress Melissa McCarthy Apologizes for Giving to Pro-Life Christian Charity

Oh, gosh. What a clumsy woman. Actress Melissa McCarthy is profusely apologizing for accidentally donating to a charity whose owner has expressed anti-abortion and pro-traditional views. McCarthy claimed that it was “a mistake.” Good thing she got out in front of it.  Melissa McCarthy, the actress involved in half-baked comedies like Bridesmaids and Spy, recently took to Instagram to apologize for a mistake she and streaming platform HBO Max made by publicly supporting charity group Exodus Cry. The Christian charity group, which McCarthy donated to as part of her and the media company’s “20 Days for Kindness” campaign, has a history of “anti-abortion” and “anti-gay” comments. During the social media video, which McCarthy made on November 12, the actress claimed that she “blew it,” elaborating that “We made a mistake and we backed a charity that upon proper vetting, stands for everything that we do not.” A day earlier, lefty outlet The Daily Beast reported that Exodus Cry’s founder Benjamin Nolot had referred to abortion as a “holocaust” and an “unspeakable offense to God.” Of course, both of those are true, but acknowledging them appeared to be an unspeakable offense to HBO Max and their actress. According to the outlet, Nolot’s charity has also “spent years lobbying to criminalize the purchase of sex and recently launched a campaign to shutter Pornhub.” Thank goodness McCarthy and HBO distanced themselves from that.  In her video, the actress explained her “20 Days of Kindness” initiative as a “kindness hub” by which she and HBO would donate $20,000 to a different charity each day over a twenty day period of time as part of a promo for her new film Superintelligence. She acknowledged that in their attempt “to shed light on 20 great charities,” they gave to one that didn’t match her values.  She added that they “pulled” their support for Exodus Cry and thanked concerned fans for pointing out the actress and the platform’s thoughtcrimes. “We are so incredibly grateful for you ringing the bell and for helping us be better. Sorry for our mistake. Oh boy, are we sorry about it,” she grovelled.  “Let the kindness continue,” McCarthy concluded.              View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Melissa McCarthy (@melissamccarthy) HBO Max provided their own statement about Exodus Cry on November 12 as well. The streaming platform claimed, “We were made aware of the issues surrounding Exodus Cry and have removed them from the list of partners associated with the 20 Days of kindness campaign.” According to The Daily Mail, the media platform has yet to find a replacement for Exodus Cry on their “20 Days of Kindness” list of charities. Sadly, Christian non-profits getting the shaft from mainstream groups is becoming the norm these days. Remember when Chick-Fil-A turned on The Salvation Army?

Petulant Scarborough Ignores Truth on 2016, Attacks ‘Spoiled Rotten Babies’

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough is getting pretty sick of Republicans questioning the results of the 2020 election. So sick, in fact, that he bothered to interrupt his Republican-bashing rants Friday morning to make a false comparison to the 2016 election, complete with footage, to remind everyone that the Democrats were such good sports four years ago. In the middle of Morning Joe’s 6:00 a.m. Eastern hour, Scarborough played a compilation (courtesy of CNN) of short clips showing Republican commentators and Fox News pundits criticizing the Democrats in 2016 for not accepting the results of that election. Gleefully appalled, Scarborough gave this venomous response: Really, seriously? You got to wonder how they can do that. That's four years ago. Republicans whining, calling Democrats sore losers, calling Hillary Clinton a sore loser… But Hillary Clinton conceded the day after the election. She made a call to Donald Trump early that morning and conceded the day after the election. We can't even get any of those people you just saw to admit the reality that Donald Trump lost far worse than Hillary Clinton.  The MSNBC star then played another, shorter compilation showing Hillary Clinton conceding in 2016, along with footage of then-President Obama and allies John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi formally acknowledging Trump’s victory. However, he didn’t show any of the unhinged media’s reactions to the election, nor later comments from Clinton where she seems less than pleased with the results, making this comparison look very uneven. Nevertheless, he kept up the charade: And you go back and you look at Barack Obama the day after the election, and Hillary Clinton…So they were doing that the day after the [2016] election. And [in 2020] Republicans still, Donald Trump still, will not give the President-Elect -- by the way, Republicans, the President-Elect that is going to be your commander in chief. The President-Elect who's going to have to figure out how to handle the crisis in North Korea that Donald Trump left us. Made it far worse than it was when we got there. How to handle Russia and how to handle China. How to handle ISIS. There's a re-emergence of ISIS. Reports this week showing that they're regaining strength.      Scarborough then pleaded with Republicans to help the incoming Biden administration get adjusted: So Republicans need to wake up. They need to grow up. They need to start the daily Intel briefings. They need to start doing what the Obama administration did. With the State Department, help coordinate those calls from foreign leaders, pass along those messages from foreign leaders. Work towards a peaceful transition that sets this country apart from so many others across the globe.   Apparently Scarborough is beyond the point where he feels the need to even address the integrity of the election anymore. He made this clear to viewers by belittling Republicans, wrapping up the segment before moving on to his next conversation with friends from the Lincoln Project: "The time is now. You’ve had your week and a half of whining. You’ve had your week and a half of whimpering. You’ve had your week and a half of just acting like spoiled little rotten babies." This shameful spectacle was sponsored by Shark Vacuums and Comcast. Find the transcript below: MSNBC's Morning Joe 11/13/20 6:30:41 AM [CLIPS OF REPUBLICANS COMPLAINING ABOUT “SORE-LOSER” DEMOCRATS FOLLOWING 2016 ELECTION] JOE SCARBOROUGH: Really, seriously? You got to wonder how they can do that. That's four years ago. Republicans whining, calling Democrats sore losers, calling Hillary Clinton a sore loser. And by the way, credit to CNN’s KFile for putting together those montages, but I don't know if you remember this, and I know in the age of Trump we have alternative realities, and people don't even go back and look at videotape. But Hillary Clinton conceded the day after the election. She made a call to Donald Trump early that morning and conceded the day after the election. We can't even get any of those people you just saw to admit the reality that Donald Trump lost far worse than Hillary Clinton. Joe Biden won Pennsylvania by a much larger margin than Donald Trump four years ago. Won Michigan by a larger margin than Donald Trump did. Flipped Arizona by 100,000 votes. Flipped Georgia by 100,000 votes. I mean, again, they're shameless, of course they're shameless. You can look at the clips and see what they said then, and see what they're saying now and they're attacking Hill-- they were attacking Hillary Clinton then, for conceding the day after the election. Here we are, what a week and half past the election? They all know he's lost. And they're all losers, sore losers. We had a lot of people in the 2000 recount carrying around signs that said “sore loserman.” Well, if the sign fits, Republicans should wear it because this was Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama actually as Hillary was conceding, and Barack Obama was saying, “hey, guys, let's move along.” Take a look.  [CLIPS OF H. CLINTON, PRES. OBAMA, J. KERRY, N. PELOSI ACKNOWLEDGING TRUMP’S 2016 VICTORY] SCARBOROUGH: I mean, really, I would say isn't it incredible, the contrast between the horrific example-- I would say the anti-democratic example that a lot of Republicans are setting, running around lying, spreading conspiracy theories. Trying to undermine-- if you can believe this, trying to undermine America's confidence in the voting system. Well, actually in American democracy despite the fact that the Department of Homeland Security said it was the cleanest election, the safest election, the most secure election ever run.  And you go back and you look at Barack Obama the day after the election, and Hillary Clinton, wait-- Barack Obama said “we're going to work as hard as we can to have a successful transition, to help Donald Trump.” Hillary Clinton said the morning -- the afternoon after the election, “Donald Trump is going to be president. We owe him an open mind.” So they were doing that the day after the election. And Republicans still, Donald Trump still, will not give the President-Elect -- by the way, Republicans, the President-Elect that is going to be your commander in chief. The President-Elect who's going to have to figure out how to handle the crisis in North Korea that Donald Trump left us. Made it far worse than it was when we got there. How to handle Russia and how to handle China. How to handle ISIS. There's a re-emergence of ISIS. Reports this week showing that they're regaining strength. We need our President-Elect, the next commander in chief, to get daily Intel briefings, and he's not getting those daily Intel briefings despite the fact every Republican in the United States Senate knows that Donald Trump lost. Joe Biden won. And they're just playing games with your national security, with America’s national security. I don't know if you call that un-American, but I do know this: They would be calling Democrats un-American if they weren't letting a Republican have access to daily Intel briefings. And by the way, do you Republicans really think you're never going to be president again, do you think you’re never gonna be in the White House again, because if you believe you're going to be in the White House again, you need to tell Donald Trump to stop setting this horrific precedent. We’ve learned in Washington what goes around comes around. So Republicans need to wake up. They need to grow up. They need to start the daily Intel briefings. They need to start doing what the Obama administration did. With the State Department, help coordinate those calls from foreign leaders, pass along those messages from foreign leaders. Work towards a peaceful transition that sets this country apart from so many others across the globe. The time is now.  You’ve had your week and a half of whining. You’ve had your week and a half of whimpering. You’ve had your week and a half of just acting like spoiled little rotten babies. We have a lot more at stake here. We have the security of the United States of America. Brief the incoming president daily. Let those briefings begin, just like Barack Obama did for Donald J. Trump four years ago.

Cadenas en español ocultan amenazas de muerte a grupo de salsa proTrump

Esta pasada semana, los medios de comunicación en español de la nación se dedicaron a exaltar en historia tras historia, a su “presidente electo”, Joe Biden, haciendo incapié en cómo, por arte de magia, unificará una nación dividida y traerá amor y paz a todos los latinos. A todo esto, las mismas cadenas ni se inmutaron en reportar las muy reales amenazas de ataques personales y de propiedad, contra quienes apoyan al presidente Donald Trump. El cuento de hadas, sin embargo, termina donde comienza la realidad y sale a la luz justo lo contrario, principalmente con respecto a seguidores latinos de Trump tales como "Los 3 de la Habana". El grupo de salsa cubana se dio a conocer por la contagiosa canción "Trump Song", un exitazo para la campaña electoral de 2020. Ahora el grupo es blanco de intimidación, insultos, acoso y amenazas de muerte, ello a raíz de la victoria del presidente Trump en el estado de Florida. Por serio y preocupante que esto sea para todos los latinos, y aún más para la comunidad cubano-estadounidense que obtuvo grandes ganancias electorales para Trump en Florida y Texas, así como en otros estados, hasta la fecha, los noticieros hispanos nacionales prefieren ignorar dicha amedentración. Telemundo 51, afiliado local de la cadena en Miami, incluyó un informe el 12 de noviembre (casi una semana después de que el grupo reportara los incidentes a la policía), declarando de por sí, que las amenazas de muerte son lo suficientemente graves como para justificar la protección policial a los componentes de Los 3 de la Habana mientras se investigue el asunto. Para el resto de los medios hispanoparlantes nacionales, lo único que realmente importa es inundar las ondas con la cobertura del "presidente electo Joe Biden" y los puntos de conversación de pánico sobre el Covid-19. Si a usted le preocupa el sesgo en los medios hispanos, comuníquese con anunciantes como Xfinity que permiten la divulgación de agendas políticas como si fueran noticias.

Bitter CNN Wails: Trump Is ‘Stealing Moment of National Pride’

The DNC-aligned CNN continued its gushing over Joe Biden’s declared victory on Friday’s New Day, but bitterly whined that President Trump was ruining their partisan celebration. Co-host Alisyn Camerota complained: “This should be a moment of national pride. But President Trump is stealing that moment of national pride for us, that we did something so well, because he's tainting it.” So CNN and the leftist media did not try to taint the results of the 2016 presidential election with their panic-ridden coverage? They didn’t admit just this month that they were still “suffering from collective PTSD?” The difference in coverage of the two elections is just hypocritical and startling. CNN political analyst Toluse Olorunnipa continued to bash the Trump nonetheless: “The only problem is that we have a President who decides that because he lost the election, he wants to cast doubt on the entire process.” The Democratic News Network has continued its laughable call for unity, even while Olorunnipa hurled insults at the President: “…he cannot stomach the idea he's going to be a one-term President and be put down in history as a loser, to a certain extent, something that he has fought against for the better part of his time on Earth.” It is honestly hard to have unity when CNN continues to trash Trump and half the country that supported him. This of course was ignored as co-host John Berman continued to speculate on whether Trump was planning a coup or a con on the American people. CNN global affairs analyst Susan Glasser remarked: “Look, Trump has set up this situation, where truth is somehow an act of opposition to the President.”     Olorunnipa kept up her attacks: “He is not likely to actually concede defeat.…But to leave in a huff and vowing to get revenge on all of the enemies that he thinks has been conspiring against him since he took office….He has all of the grievances that he needs to build up a four-year campaign of vengeance and trying to run again in four years.” It would be nice if CNN could provide facts and information, rather than their opinions and constant attacks. Sadly, it is likely that they will continue to promote Biden while continuing to bash President Trump for the remainder of his term. This CNN Bias was sponsored by Shark Vacuums and Sleep Number. Click on the links to let them know what you think. A transcript of the November 13th Coverage is included below: New Day 11/13/20 6:28 AM ET ALISYN CAMEROTA: Okay, John, joining us now, we have CNN global affairs analyst, Susan Glasser, she’s a staff writer for the New Yorker. And CNN political analyst, Toluse Olorunnipa, a White House reporter at "The Washington Post." Great to see both of you. So on a larger scale, last night, the Department of Homeland Security, the actual unit tasked with figuring out if there's any voting irregularities, if there's any fraud, put out a striking statement. In part, it read, the November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised. Toluse, this should be a proud moment in U.S. History. This should be a moment of national pride. But President Trump is stealing that moment of national pride for us, that we did something so well, because he's tainting it. Your thoughts?  TOLUSE OLORUNNIPA [CNN Political Analyst]: Yeah, tens of thousands of Americans worked incredibly hard to make this election free and fair in the middle of a pandemic. The biggest challenge for election officials and generations. And they rose to the task, all the way from the national level, including our national security officials, who had to fight against foreign interference and foreign attempts to intervene and change the votes of Americans. They worked hard. Local election officials worked hard to put this election together. People who were just volunteers working at polls and people who counted those votes late into the dead of the night. They were working very hard. And what we did have was a free and fair election. The only problem is that we have a President who decides that because he lost the election, he wants to cast doubt on the entire process. He thinks that in states that he won, everything was fine, but in states where he lost, there was obvious fraud. And you have to question why the President would do that, other than the fact that he cannot stomach the idea he's going to be a one-term President and be put down in history as a loser, to a certain extent, something that he has fought against for the better part of his time on Earth. So, t's clear that the President is being reputeduated in this statement, which says that all of his claims about voter fraud have no basis. He's been going to court. He's not been able to prove any of his charges. It's been over a week, and there's no evidence to back up what the President is saying. And it's clear that this was a free and fair election and unfortunately for him, he lost.  JOHN BERMAN: He was being repudiated by an office in the federal government, of which he is at the top of. It's his own people who are saying to the world that the President is wrong. And Chris Krebs, Reuters is reporting that he expects to be fired now for speaking the truth. And he's going way out of his way to repudiate the President. He's retweeting statements like this, please don't retweet wild and baseless claims about voting machines, even if they're made by the President! These theories have been debunked many times, including by DHS. Susan, you’ve been looking into what’s been going on with the President, making calls all over D.C. making calls to the smartest people about what he's doing. Whether this is a coup, as you say, or a con. Survey says?  SUSAN GLASSER [CNN Global Affairs Analyst]: Well, modestly reassuringly, I would say, more con than coup, but terrible, terrible for our democracy. That's the bottom line, John. Look, Trump has set up this situation, where truth is somehow an act of opposition to the President, whether coming from his own government or Republican party officials, who so far have been terrified of acknowledging the reality. Privately, they're doing so. And not -- to me, one of the most difficult things we've seen, right, we've literally had a situation where they're acting as though they’re in official opposition, the election results, but privately reassuring journalists like me and others, no, no, no, don't worry, it's fine, we're just giving him time. I think it's one of the most reckless weeks in a reckless presidency.  CAMEROTA: I mean, as the pandemic, as John says, stampedes across this country. As the metaphor that we've been using this week is that jumbo jets of Americans, three to four jumbo jets a day are falling out of the sky and killing Americans. If we saw it that way, it would be more dramatic than, I guess we've gotten used to people dying alone in ICUs. And the President is MIA, we haven't heard from him. Are your sourcing telling you that the next time we hear from him that it will be with a declaration of a 2024 Presidential run?  OLORUNNIPA: The President is thinking about his political future and he's looking at potential run in four years. He is not likely to actually concede defeat. He's more likely to obviously leave the White House by January 20th. But to leave in a huff and vowing to get revenge on all of the enemies that he thinks has been conspiring against him since he took office. He’s being going against the deep state; he’s been attacking the media. He says that big tech and big money are against him. He has all of the grievances that he needs to build up a four-year campaign of vengeance and trying to run again in four years. Now, we do know President is already 74 years old. If he were to run again in four years, he would be pushing 80. He would be trying to become the oldest President in history, even older than Joe Biden. So there are questions about whether his health would allow him to run again, but I wouldn't be surprised if we did hear the President, rather than giving a concession, gave a defiant campaign announcement saying that he was going to run if four years, even though he sees himself leaving the White House in matter of months.  CAMEROTA: Toluse, Susan, thank you both very much for all of your reporting.

Spanish Nets Hide Death Threats to Pro-Trump Salsa Group

For the past week, the nation's Spanish-speaking media have devoted story after story to the exaltation of their declared President-elect – Joe Biden – with a particular emphasis on how he will magically unify a divided nation and bring peace and love to all Latinos. However, these same outlets have turned a blind eye to very real threats of physical danger against those who supported President Donald Trump. The fairy tale, however, ended where reality started -- and revealed the truth to be just the opposite, especially regarding Latino Trump followers like “Los 3 de la Habana.” The Cuban salsa group is known for the catchy “Trump Song” that became a big hit for the 2020 election campaign. However, they've now been targeted for intimidation, insults, harassment and direct death threats, in the wake of President Trump’s victory in the state of Florida. As serious and concerning this may be for all Latinos, and even more for the Cuban-American community that made overwhelming election gains for Trump in Florida and Texas, as well as other states, to date, the national Hispanic newscasts have ignored the death threats. Local Miami affiliate Telemundo 51, did include a report on Thursday (almost a week after the group reported the issue to authorities), stating in fact, that the death-threats are serious enough to warrant police protection for the members of Los 3 de la Habana while the matter is under investigation. For the others, all that really matters is flooding the airwaves with pro “President-Elect Joe Biden” coverage and Covid-19 panic porn talking points. If you are concerned with the bias in Hispanic media, contact advertisers like Xfinity, that enable political agendas passing for news.

Stossel Column: Freeloader U

Yale University has fancy dining halls. They pay no property tax. Local restaurants struggle to compete, but their tax burden makes that hard. “We basically pay one-third of our rent in taxes!” complains Matt West, manager of Koon Thai Restaurant. “Yale is a money-making machine.” It is. Many colleges are. Yale has a $31 billion endowment. Harvard's is $40 billion. My alma mater, Princeton, has $26 billion. Yet, these schools also get government handouts and tax breaks. How government rips-off taxpayers and students by subsidizing colleges is the subject of my video this week. Yale owns about a quarter of the town of New Haven, Connecticut, but the school pays little property tax. It even has a golf course that's half tax-exempt. Politicians tried to tax the school, but they cannot. “It's written into the Constitution,” complains New Haven Board of Alders President Tyisha Walker-Myers. “They just don't have to pay.” Now the city is ticketing more cars to try to cover its budget shortfall. Everyone else pays more because colleges get tax breaks, government grants, and government loans. “De-fund universities!” says Inez Stepman, senior policy analyst at the Independent Women's Forum. “Their entire business model is dependent on the taxpayer.” I push back: “You make it sound like it's all government money. But people pay their own way.” She corrects me: “Without that lifeblood of those federal student loans, very few universities would be able to operate. They are dependent on that federal interference.” They're dependent because they've raised their prices so much. When I went to college, my tuition was $1,950. Now, Princeton charges $53,890. After government increased subsidies, colleges raised tuition prices at four times the rate of inflation. They spend the money not just on golf courses and fancy foods. They build new stadiums, first-class swimming pools, media rooms and some even offer students housekeeping. Why not spend? Colleges know they will get more money from taxpayers. The federal government is now America's biggest largest provider of student aid. “There is no check on the cost of a college degree,” says Stepman. “If students had to walk into Wells Fargo for those loans, Wells Fargo would look at whether or not those loans would be paid back. The federal government doesn't ask any of those questions.” So, money is thrown at students who don't benefit. Today, almost half the students given loans don't graduate in six years. Instead, says Stepman, they have “$50 or $60 or $80,000 in debt, without the degree to show for it.” Taxpayers lose. Students lose. The winners are bloated colleges. Colleges say they deserve every loan and tax break because they make “wiser citizens.” “They're not,” says Stepman. “They're making citizens who hate their country.” I push back again. “Most colleges educate rather than indoctrinate.” “I wish that were true,’ replies Stepman. “I was part of the College Republicans... registering voters. I actually had a professor walk up and spit on me. Another called us the 'Nazi Youth.' These are professors!” “It's offensive,’ she adds, “that we take dollars out of mechanics' pockets and put them into the pockets of, largely, middle-class and upper-middle-class students” It is offensive. But that's what America does. Unfortunately, our next president wants to do even more of it.

Disgusting NY Times Compares Trump’s ‘Anti-Democratic Tactics’ to Mugabe, Pinochet

President Trump’s refusal so far to concede Election 2020 to Democrat Joe Biden, nine whole days after Election Day and with over two months left in his first term, and with the official Electoral College count still over a month away, terrified the New York Times into comparing him to a motley crew of world dictators, in a repellent report on the front page of Thursday’s edition: “Trump Borrows Election Tactics From Autocrats,” by reporter Andrew Higgins. The online headline deck read “Trump’s Post-Election Tactics Put Him in Unsavory Company -- Denying defeat, claiming fraud and using government machinery to reverse election results are the time-honored tools of dictators” and then began (click “expand”): When the strongman ruler of Belarus declared an implausible landslide victory in an election in August, and had himself sworn in for a sixth term as president, the United States and other Western nations denounced what they said was brazen defiance of the voters’ will. President Aleksandr G. Lukashenko’s victory, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last month, was “fraud.” Mr. Pompeo added: “We’ve opposed the fact that he’s now inaugurated himself. We know what the people of Belarus want. They want something different.” Just a month on, Mr. Pompeo’s boss, President Trump, is now borrowing from Mr. Lukashenko’s playbook, joining a club of truculent leaders who, regardless of what voters decide, declare themselves the winners of elections. That club counts as its members far more dictators, tyrants and potentates than leaders of what used to be known as the “free world” -- countries that, led by Washington, have for decades lectured others on the need to hold elections and respect the result. Higgins generously admitted: The parallel is not exact. Mr. Trump participated in a free and fair democratic election. Most autocrats defy voters before they even vote, excluding real rivals from the ballot and swamping the airwaves with one-sided coverage. But when they do hold genuinely competitive votes and the result goes against them, they often ignore the result, denouncing it as the work of traitors, criminals and foreign saboteurs, and therefore invalid. By refusing to accept the results of last week’s election and working to delegitimize the vote, Mr. Trump is following a similar strategy. Higgins scoured the world to find evil people to compare to Trump, and casually compared the elected U.S. president to a war criminal (click “expand”): Among the anti-democratic tactics Mr. Trump has adopted are some that were commonly employed by leaders like Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela and Slobodan Milosevic of Serbia -- refusing to concede defeat and hurling unfounded accusations of electoral fraud. The tactics also include undermining confidence in democratic institutions and the courts, attacking the press and vilifying opponents. Like Mr. Trump, those leaders feared that accepting defeat would expose them to prosecution once they left office. Mr. Trump does not have to worry about being charged with war crimes and genocide, as Mr. Milosevic was, but he does face a tangle of legal problems. (....) In November 2010, President Laurent Gbagbo of Ivory Coast refused to accept his loss in an election, suppressing protests with live ammunition, killing dozens and dragging the country into a brief civil war in which over 3,000 people died. Like Mr. Trump, he freely used government machinery to challenge the election result, insisting he had not been defeated. The crisis stretched out over almost five months and brought Ivory Coast to its knees economically. Higgins continued adding to his monster rally of dictators to shame Trump into conceding less than two weeks after the election, with votes still uncounted and the Electoral College meetings in December: “Gen. Augusto Pinochet, who seized power in 1973 in a military coup in Chile, accepted defeat in a 1988 constitutional referendum that would have allowed him to stay in office, and relinquished the presidency in 1990 after an opponent won a presidential vote.” Higgins's lazy, tiresome arguments included him blaming Trump for the bad behavior of world dictators: Just in September, the Trump administration imposed additional sanctions against what it called the “Maduro regime’s attempts to corrupt democratic elections in Venezuela.” Now, Mr. Trump is also refusing to accept the election results. Higgins enjoys comparing Trump to murderous dictators. After Trump accused fake news purveyors of being an “enemy of the people” in 2017, Higgins compared Trump to Josef Stalin and Mao Tse-tung.

PBS's Alcindor Sees 'Political Poetry' in Kamala's Ticket Beating Trump

On Saturday's PBS NewsHour Weekend, correspondent Yamiche Alcindor delivered commentary that sounded like partisan Democratic spin as she proclaimed that Joe Biden had defeated President Donald Trump with a "record number of voters," and then declared that it was "political poetry" that Senator Kamala Harris was part of the ticket beat Trump after his history of birtherism. Even though Biden's vote total is a "record number" largely because the population of the U.S. is at an all-time high, Alcindor touted the "repudiation" of Trump as if it were unprecedented:     This was a President who ran as a political outsider who has now been ousted by a record number of voters. Yes, the election was tight, but Joe Biden has more votes than any other person who has run for President, and this really is a repudiation of President Trump and all of the things that he has been doing -- the racist language, the downplaying of the coronavirus, the scandals. He will leave office -- if this all goes through -- he will leave office as an impeached President, and he will join only nine other Presidents in history to not win a second term. After host Hari Sreenivasan asked for commentary on the "historic nature" of Senator Harris being elected Vice President, Alcindor gushed: This is a little bit of political poetry here. President Trump began his political career questioning the birthplace of the first African American President in that racist theory of birtherism, and he's now going to be leaving office with a black woman coming into office as Vice President  -- someone that he's mocked for saying her name wrong over and over again. After noting some of Senator Harris's other distinctions, the PBS correspondent then talked up Harris's election as a victory for the BLM agenda: I've just been talking to Black Lives Matter activists as well as Ben Crump -- an icon, in some ways, and civil rights attorney who has done so many different cases from Trayvon Martin to Ahmaud Arbery to George Floyd -- and he told me that he felt hope today. He feels as though this election of Kamala Harris puts African American women -- who have been the backbone of the Democratic party -- into an executive office for the first time in history. And there has really been this feeling of excitement -- this feeling that things might be different this time around as we look at all of the different ways that African Americans face injustices and inequalities in this country. This episode of PBS NewsHour Weekend was paid for in part by Consumer Cellular. You can fight back by letting advertisers know how you feel about them sponsoring such content. Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the Saturday, November 7, PBS NewsHour Weekend: 6:22 p.m. Eastern YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Let's just step back even further and say this was a President who ran as a political outsider who has now been ousted by a record number of voters. Yes, the election was tight, but Joe Biden has more votes than any other person who has run for President, and this really is a repudiation of President Trump and all of the things that he has been doing -- the racist language, the downplaying of the coronavirus, the scandals. He will leave office -- if this all goes through -- he will leave office as an impeached President, and he will join only nine other Presidents in history to not win a second term. HARI SREENIVASAN: Let's also talk about the historic nature of Kamala Harris being the presumptive Vice President. ALCINDOR: This is a little bit of political poetry here. President Trump began his political career questioning the birthplace of the first African American President in that racist theory of birtherism, and he's now going to be leaving office with a black woman coming into office as Vice President  -- someone that he's mocked for saying her name wrong over and over again. This is, of course, also a historic first. Senator Harris -- now Vice President-elect Harris -- has had so many different firsts in her lifetime, but now she is the first woman to be elected Vice President-elect. She's the first black woman, the first Asian woman, the first graduate of a historically black college and university, the first member of the Divine Nine -- those are the African American sororities. She's a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. There are so many different firsts here, and it's history-making for her to walk into office just a heartbeat away from the presidency. I've just been talking to Black Lives Matter activists as well as Ben Crump -- an icon, in some ways, and civil rights attorney who has done so many different cases from Trayvon Martin to Ahmaud Arbery to George Floyd -- and he told me that he felt hope today. He feels as though this election of Kamala Harris puts African American women -- who have been the backbone of the Democratic party -- into an executive office for the first time in history. And there has really been this feeling of excitement -- this feeling that things might be different this time around as we look at all of the different ways that African Americans face injustices and inequalities in this country.

Clueless Cuomo Claims Trump Getting ‘Spanking’ in Razor-Thin Election

Despite the razor-thin election results, CNN is still trying to promote the fake news narrative that Tuesday's election was a "huge rejection" of President Trump. Early Friday morning, leftist hacks Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon hosted Election Night in America, where they explained eight separate times how close the election was. This did not stop Cuomo from wildly declaring: “Nobody has gotten the spanking he is getting in the general right now.” For months now, CNN has reported the election not on the policies or the platforms of the candidates, but as a “referendum” on Trump. Now that the majority of votes are in and actually show Democrats struggling or losing in races across the country, they have been proven wrong, they can’t understand it. While other networks like CBS and NBC are admitting their mistakes, CNN is doubling down on the propaganda. That is, when they can even get a coherent message out around their shock. Lemon remarked: “What a nail-biter, Chris. I mean, this really is a nail-biter.” A moment later, Cuomo explained the state of the race: All right? 99% of the estimated vote in Georgia. 95% in Pennsylvania. Those two numbers are the most deceptive because in this particular race, for various reasons, small margins can make big differences, especially when we're as close as we are in both. Pennsylvania, 22,000 votes separate the men right now. You see that, they're basically within the recount territory in both races. Certainly in Georgia. It's a dead tie.  But about two minutes later, Cuomo remarked: “Because this is a national change moment that is going on. On both sides. We have not seen passions like this, a sense of purpose like this, money like this, organization like this, structure like this.…You blew away turnout models. Huge rejection for Donald Trump.”     So is it a close nail-biter or a blowout referendum on Trump? The leftist-aligned network seems to flip between reporting the electoral math and their DNC talking points.   It is obvious that Cuomo has not opened up a history book recently. For example Richard Nixon won with a 17 million popular vote lead in 1972. A few more examples of larger leads in 1984, 1964, and even the 2008 election with Barack Obama. The current deficit between Joe Biden and Donald Trump at the time of writing: 4 million votes. Once again, CNN let’s their own leftist beliefs and Democratic talking points drown out the facts. Cuomo seems more concerned with being a partisan hack than a reporter. This CNN hackery was sponsored by Priceline and Sandals Hotels and Resorts. Click on the links to let them know what you think. A transcript of the November 6th Coverage is included below: CNN Election Night in America Continued 11/6/20 12:00 AM ET CHRIS CUOMO: Welcome back to CNN's breaking news coverage. "Election night in America" continues. I'm Chris Cuomo along with Don Lemon. And this is it.  DON LEMON: Yeah, this is it.  CUOMO: This is the time that matters most. The margins have gotten very small. Votes are coming in in what have developed to be the two key states, right, Georgia and Pennsylvania. We are watching them literally by the minute.  LEMON: Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't say we are back because here we are for another long stretch. We're going to be here with you throughout the evening and throughout the morning until this gets done. What a nail biter, Chris. I mean, this really is a nail biter. You mentioned Georgia, you mentioned Pennsylvania. Georgia's really on the brink. Pennsylvania is on the brink. We have to keep watching the numbers. The final votes, tens of thousands of mail-in ballots, are being counted in both states right now. And you know what, it's not a done deal yet, but Joe Biden is closing in on the presidency.  CUOMO: And, look, President Trump tried today to turn what really has been a hall of fame performance by the electorate into a Hal of shame.  LEMON: Right.  CUOMO: We'll deal with him later. Again, we have to ignore the noise right now. If you have proof of allegations, go to court. Anything else is BS. What is the truth in action are the counts as they are taken in real time. So let's do that together. We'll be doing it as Don said as long as they'll let us. So here's our first key race alert. [They pause the segment to do the animation] All right. These are the two big ones. Pennsylvania and Georgia. Again, let's start at the bottom this time. All right? 99% of the estimated vote in Georgia. 95% in Pennsylvania. Those two numbers are the most deceptive because in this particular race, for various reasons, small margins can make big differences, especially when we're as close as we are in both. Pennsylvania, 22,000 votes separate the men right now. You see that, they're basically within the recount territory in both races. Certainly in Georgia. It's a dead tie. So, we expect votes in both of them, specifically, Pennsylvania, around that Philadelphia area, there's still a lot of votes that haven't been counted or at least announced. That's what Joe Biden is banking on. Remember, Pennsylvania because if Biden wins Pennsylvania, he becomes the next President of the United States. Period. Now, in Georgia that is not true, but it really starts closing doors. So Joe Biden very close there. 1,805 votes separate the two men. Donald Trump needs it. That has not been trending well for him. Each dump that comes, that margin closes. However, that's not the end of the state of play. So, let's get over to the magic wall and Phil Mattingly. Good to see you once again. Pennsylvania, Georgia, why in the context of how you get to 270?  PHIL MATTINGLY: Because for President Trump, Pennsylvania and Georgia are everything. Let's look at the map right now. As it currently stands. As you noted, 253 electoral votes for Joe Biden. 213 for President Trump. This is what's in and what's outstanding. If it's colored in red, that means it's being called for President Trump. If it's blue, that is now in Joe Biden's column. What we're waiting for right now, a couple states that just for the sake of gaming this out, we'll go ahead and give to President Trump. As it currently stands. North Carolina, been fairly static over the course of the last 48 hours. President Trump about a 79,000-vote lead. We'll say for the sake of doing this that North Carolina goes in his column. We'll do the same for Alaska. Usually takes a couple weeks to count. Expect it to go Republican. Where does that leave things as it currently stands? noted, paying attention to Philadelphia and paying attention to Georgia. Out west in a second. Why does this matter? Well, if Vice President Biden wins Pennsylvania, it's pretty simple. It's the ball game. It's all over. It's all over. As we watch it tighten and watched it tighten over the course of the last day or so, that's why everybody's so keen on that.  CUOMO: And the quick reminder, because sometimes we forget what we learned in the beginning. 538 electoral votes. That's what there is. So there is no scenario, what if he gets over 270? So does he. Can't happen. You can have 269-269. If we're anywhere close to that, we'll start discussing the intricacies of it, the constitution lays out a plan. So that's what we're looking for, who gets to 270 then it's done. Continue, my friend.  MATTINGLY: If it’s 269-269, people curl in the fetal position first then we start talking –  CUOMO: Not you, though, you'll go long and strong to the end.  MATTINGLY: That's the absolute truth. It's not just Pennsylvania. President Trump has to win Pennsylvania. Let's put Pennsylvania in President Trump's column. Now say President Trump goes out west and wins Arizona. Right now Joe Biden is leading in Arizona. Closed over the course of the last 24 hours. Should see more returns come in later tonight or this morning. But say Donald Trump overtakes Joe Biden, that gets him to 262. Take a look at Nevada. Right now vice President Biden with a lead in what if President Trump wins the state of Nevada? That gets him to 268. What's left outstanding? Maine 2. It is a single electoral vote. Basically it's Georgia. If Joe Biden wins Georgia or Pennsylvania, there is no path to 270 electoral votes for President Trump. Period, end of story. So when we focus on these, this is why President Trump cannot afford to lose Pennsylvania or Georgia. He loses one, there's no path to 270.  CUOMO: There is another reason to focus on them. We are expecting change of play in both of those states on our watch so it's not that Nevada and Arizona don't matter. It is that we have not been alerted to any significant dumps of ballots there. If there's a change we'll be on it. We look internally. Thank you. You're right. We do have to remember this. What do we know? Already Joe Biden has received more votes than anybody else ever. For President of the united States. Why? Because this is a national change moment that is going on. On both sides. We have not seen passions like this, a sense of purpose like this, money like this, organization like this, structure like this. So you got the most out of it. The biggest reason is you, your friends, family, people in the communities. You came out in a way that certainly defied my expectations and many experts. You blew away turnout models. Amazing! Huge rejection for Donald Trump. Nobody has gotten the spanking he is getting in the general right now. So let's now getting interior into the race. Pennsylvania and Georgia. Let's do the story to each of how we got here.

DISGUSTING: NYT Bashes Florida Latinos, Insists It's a ‘Lie’ to Call Biden Socialist

The 2020 presidential election hasn’t been decided as of this writing, but the New York Times is bitter and panicky about Joe Biden’s surprisingly big loss in Florida and dug up a pathetic excuse: Hispanics were the victims of "disinformation"! In Thursday’s edition, reporters Patricia Mazzei and Nicole Perloth trotted out “Experts Call Disinformation Targeting Spanish Speakers an ‘Emergency.’” It’s a follow-up to their story that miscategorized conservative opinion and hyperbole as “misinformation” and dangerous falsehood, to boost Biden among the Latino community of South Florida, including those Cuban Americans the paper has never quite trusted for voting anti-Communist because of their experience with tyrant Fidel Castro. Calling "moderate" Biden a "socialist" is now a "lie" (click “expand”): The posts proliferated on election night before anything remotely definitive was known about the results of the presidential race. “Robado,” they falsely repeated again and again in Spanish: President Trump was being robbed of a victory. He had won Arizona. George Soros was funding violent “antifa riots.” The baseless social media messages to Latinos trying to delegitimize the election and the results for Joseph R. Biden Jr. circulated online on Tuesday night and into Wednesday, part of a disinformation campaign to undermine Latino confidence in the vote as it unfolded. Ahead of Election Day, false news in Spanish tried to turn Latinos against Black Lives Matter and tie Mr. Biden to socialism, tactics that experts said could depress the Hispanic vote. Now that voting is complete, the rampant falsehoods have only garnered larger audiences -- including among immigrants less familiar with the institutions of American democracy. The gist of the falsehoods is that the election is “rigged” against Mr. Trump. Get a load of this condescension-reeking photo caption:  Supporters of Mr. Trump gathered in the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami on Tuesday. It is difficult, if not impossible, to know how much false claims influenced Latino voters ahead of Election Day. So Cuban-Americans, perhaps ignorant of American democracy, were hoodwinked by rhetoric into voting against their interests? Here's what they claimed: “On another Spanish-language channel, Informativo G24, with more than 500,000 subscribers, hosts compared Democrats to Nazis on Tuesday. The video was seen some 350,000 times.” Republicans get called Nazis everywhere, all the time, without disapproval or even notice from the New York Times. Those claims by both sides may be irresponsible, but they do count as opinions. But for the Times it’s flat-out false to suggest Biden is a socialist, even though his party has been infected with Democratic Socialism, a movement the Times proudly pushed before Biden won the Democratic nomination. Now, when the Democrats have an election to win, it's a smear. The paper piled on the condescension toward Trump-leaning Latino voters (click “expand”): It is difficult, if not impossible, to know how much false claims influenced Latino voters ahead of Election Day. But the hub of much of that misinformation was South Florida, home to a diverse community of Latinos, many of whom fled left-wing authoritarian regimes and are receptive to messaging about socialism. (....) Juan Pablo Salas, a Colombian political analyst in Sarasota, Fla., said he worried that the misinformation involving Bogotá, Miami and Washington could be a coordinated effort between right-wing interests in Colombia and the U.S., “to essentially turn our Colombian-American community into the tip of the spear of the offense played by the extreme right.” The paper gets awfully mad when you criticize liberal billionaire activist George Soros. On Tuesday night, Eduardo A. Gamarra, a professor of political science at Florida International University, agreed to analyze the election on NTN24, a television news network based in Colombia. He found himself on the air debating Omar Bula Escobar, a former United Nations representative notorious for, among other false claims, saying that Mr. Soros controls the Democratic Party, an anti-Semitic trope embraced by QAnon. (....) Evelyn Pérez-Verdía, a Democratic Latino issues strategist in South Florida, said she spent four hours on Tuesday trying to debunk false claims on Spanish-language radio that Mr. Biden, a moderate, was a left-wing radical. Going by his voting record, Biden is no “moderate.” And he will be pushed by socialists in the Democratic Party who want to use him to further their policy goals. Biden certainly hasn't disavowed their support. He installed a very liberal VP choice, Kamala Harris, as his running mate. Yet somehow this standard exaggerated campaign rhetoric becomes a “lie” when Republicans do it: “The Republicans called him a socialist, in those four hours, 20 times,” she said. “And a radical five times, and a Castro-Chavista” -- a reference to Fidel Castro of Cuba and Hugo Chávez of Venezuela -- “three times. Repeat a lie and repeat it until it becomes the truth.”

Transgender Mania: NCAALGBT Moving Toward More Inclusion of Dudes on Women's Teams

Boise, Idaho, you can kiss your inclusion in March Madness next spring good-bye. The NCAA prefers a different version of inclusion for its host sites, one that doesn't ban males from participating in female sports like Idaho does. College sports fans, trans inclusion is rolling down the tracks and little can stop it. SB Nation Outsports reports that the NCAALGBT hasn't yet rescinded its agreement for NCAA Tournament games in Boise, but the sport's governing association is in the tank for transgenders. Outsports writer Dawn Ennis (appearing at left in photo with trans runner Cece Telfer on Fox News) says the NCAA is calling it “premature” to yank Division I Men’s college basketball tournament games, scheduled for March 18 and 20, from Boise. A pending ACLU lawsuit against Idaho's commonsense law and the coronavirus are causing the NCAA to wait and see what happens before it acts. But no one needs to guess where things are heading. Because Outsports reports that the NCAA recently held a summit to build the case for promoting increased gender identity and inclusive student-athlete participation. A few days ago, the NCAA Board of Governors issued a statement indicating that a trans explosion upon the college sports scene is only a matter of time: "The summit sought feedback about creating a framework that could inform policy and practice development in the area of gender identity and participation in collegiate sport, with a focus on inclusion, fairness, student-athlete well-being, health and safety." Last June the NCAA released a statement condemning the Idaho law, calling it “harmful to transgender student-athletes and conflicts with the NCAA’s core values of inclusivity, respect and the equitable treatment of all individuals.” Furthermore, the NCAA employs a managing director of inclusion, Amy Wilson. She insists the association is exploring ways for student-athletes to support their well-being. Not fooling anybody, it's transgenders student-athletes that she's referring to. Want more proof? A limited number of men are already competing on women's college sports teams, and the NCAALGBT already has an NCAA Inclusion of Transgender Student-Athletes handbook. Dr. Brian Hainline, the NCAA's chief medical officer, confirms that the association is poised to “really move in a positive direction.” Summit participants are working to build additional consensus, but that's just a formality because no one in an official NCAA capacity is standing up against this insanity.  Ramifications? NCAA postseason sports sites will only be awarded to states with the LGBT seal of approval. You may also see some very masculine dudes on college women's basketball teams in the near future. As well as some token females on the benches of men's basketball teams at Duke, Villanova and other affirming academic institutions. Idaho is one of the few states with the guts to stand up to the unholy alliance of the NCAALGBT juggernaut, but it may get shot down in the courts. The Boise judge who put the trans ban on hold said: "... Because the Court finds Plaintiffs are likely to succeed in establishing the Act is unconstitutional as currently written, it must issue a preliminary injunction at this time pending trial on the merits. ..." As if social justice activism hasn't ruined people's enjoyment of sports enough, it's just a matter of when college sports become more defined by the letters NCAALGBT than by biological gender and notions of fairness.

Hollywood Actors: Trump Is a Nazi, His Voters Support Nazis

More leftist celebrities still can’t understand why millions of Americans would vote for President Donald Trump instead of a candidate with deteriorating mental faculties. Actors Ron Perlman, John Cusack, Yvette Nicole Brown, like many others in their line of work, are clearly upset at the amount of support that President Trump is getting. They cannot understand why anyone would vote for a man who helped improve the economy and advocated for the protection of the unborn, so they automatically assumed people voted for him because they wanted Nazis in office.  If you’re wondering how that makes any sense, you’re not alone. Ron Perlman, who seems to spend more time insulting Trump on Twitter than acting, tweeted on November 4 that “If anybody out there has a book idea about when America started being on the side of Nazis, racists, and assorted other fascists and dictators, call your agent right away.” That’s odd. Has there been a rise in anti-Semitism in the GOP lately? Has Trump been sending Jewish-Americans and communists to concentration camps? Have Republicans been howling “Heil Trump!” with stiff, raised arms? Ben Shapiro and AOC have both been active on Twitter today, and no one who has achieved maturity would ever mimic a Nazi, so it’s safe to assume that Perlman is throwing another tantrum.  It might actually be Perlman who is attracted to dictatorship. That is, he doesn’t seem to be interested in a system that represents the people in their entirety. In fact, this tweet from before the election seems to indicate that he wants to crush the voice of certain voters completely: “Listen up, McConnell, Graham, Trump, and all the rest of you low-life motherfuckers... we’re gonna put 17 justices on the Supreme Court if we have to. We’re gonna stomp out the memory of you like the cockroaches you are. Believe it. Bitches.” Moving on to John Cusack, another actor who spends a sizable chunk of his time lambasting Trump on Twitter. He wrote in a disjointed tweet on November 4 that “The most people ever voted to remove a nazi - outdoing the nazi by  4 - 5 million Problem is  60 million other are either zombies asleep or  want Nazis” This isn’t the first time Cusack has called Trump a Nazi. He actually compared him to Hitler once. Supposedly, Trump and his voters desperately want Aryans to rule America, invade eastern Europe for more living space, and wear striking uniforms tailored by Hugo Boss (yes, this is true). We hear the U. S. army even swore an oath to Trump. Meanwhile, actress Yvette Nicole Brown (Community) tweeted a movie-themed video of a voter having trouble choosing between, among others, the obvious hero Indiana Jones as the Democrat candidate and "The Nazis" as the Republican one, with the comment: “Half of America.  #MakeItMakeSense”. These three actors are alike. All are unable to control their emotions, know how to slander and name-call, and can’t make a coherent argument against Trump. Or tweet, in Cusack’s case.  Perlman, Cusack, and Brown will be displeased to know that millions of Americans voted for President Trump, but still have their heads screwed on. Unlike certain actors who themselves seem to have an alarming obsession with Nazism.

Meltdown! NY Times Columnists Suffer Psychotic Break as Election Day Arrives

The pre-election edition of the New York Times Sunday Review was a peculiar 14-page beast featuring all 15 of the paper’s columnists weighing in on Trump (12 liberals, two slightly right-of-center voices, and David Brooks) under the rubric “What Have We Lost.” In the Times' case, news judgement and emotional maturity would top the list. Former White House correspondent turned whiny liberal columnist Frank Bruni, who is a grown adult male of 56, “A Kind of Innocence.” (Innocence lost, that is.) It’s always assumed that those of us who felt certain of Hillary Clinton’s victory in 2016 were putting too much trust in polls. I was putting too much trust in Americans. I’d seen us err. I’d watched us stray. Still I didn’t think that enough of us would indulge a would-be leader as proudly hateful, patently fraudulent and flamboyantly dishonest as Donald Trump. We had episodes of ugliness, but this? No way. We were better than Trump. Except, it turned out, we weren’t. Bruni is very disappointed in his fellow Americans. Trump snuffed out my confidence, flickering but real, that we could go only so low and forgive only so much. With him we went lower -- or at least a damningly large percentage of us did. In him we forgave florid cruelty, overt racism, rampant corruption, exultant indecency, the coddling of murderous despots, the alienation of true friends, the alienation of truth itself, the disparagement of invaluable institutions, the degradation of essential democratic traditions. …. I could be overreacting. Maybe, just ahead, there will be moments of grace, enough of them to redeem us. Maybe I’ll look up on or after Nov. 3 and see that Biden has won North Carolina, has won Michigan, has won every closely contested state and the presidency in a landslide. Maybe I’ll have to eat my words. Please, my fellow Americans, feed me my words. I’d relish that meal. Becket Adams reacted at the Washington Examiner under the fair headline “New York Times opinion section comes unhinged ahead of the 2020 election.” Adams wrote, “rather than explore seriously and realistically the short- and long-term consequences of the Trump presidency, the project comes across more like a collective nervous breakdown, full of self-absorbed handwringing and wild-eyed proclamations about the future of the republic.” Paul Krugman contributed to that Sunday atrocity in relatively mild mode, but made up for it in his regular Tuesday slot, “The War on Truth Reaches Its Climax.” It also serves as a pocket history of how Krugman himself has descended from a respected left-liberal economist to a pompous Democratic hack, and how the New York Times further degenerated into Democratic partisanship. I began writing a column for The Times way back in 2000. My beat was supposed to be economics and business. But I couldn’t help noticing that one of that year’s contenders for the presidency was systematically making false claims about his policy proposals. George W. Bush kept insisting that his one-percent-friendly tax cuts were targeted on the middle class, and his plan to privatize Social Security just wished away the system’s obligations to older Americans. At the time, however, my editors told me that it wasn’t acceptable to use the word “lie” when writing about presidential candidates. By now, though, most informed observers have, I think, finally decided that it’s OK to report the fact that Donald Trump lies constantly. …. The first big lie is the claim that America is being menaced by hordes of “rioters, looters, arsonists, gun-grabbers, flag-burners, Marxists.” Anyone who walks around the “anarchist jurisdictions” of New York or Seattle can see with their own eyes that nothing like this is happening. And the data bear out the obvious.  One systematic study found that the summer’s Black Lives Matter protests were overwhelmingly peaceful, and that “most of the violence that did take place was, in fact, directed against the B.L.M. protesters.” …. Trump’s lies about an anarchist threat have given encouragement to white supremacists, including domestic terrorists.... And if Trump loses? Krugman blamed any post-election violence on Trump voters disguised as Black Lives Matter. The immediate result may very well be a wave of violence and property destruction -- Trump supporters engaging in the behavior they falsely attribute to Black Lives Matter demonstrators. We'll see.

Barin' It for Biden: Chelsea Handler Makes Another Naked Voting PSA

What is it with some Hollywood ladies and showing their private parts for Democrat votes? In a last ditch effort to get attention for Joe Biden, uncouth comedian Chelsea Handler took time out from waterboarding 50 Cent for thinking about voting Trump in order to bare her breasts to get people to vote. Gross.  On November 3, Election Day, the day during which Hollywood liberals have been salivating over with the thought that they may finally expel their sworn enemy Donald Trump, Handler posted a vile video of herself topless to Instagram thinking it might acquire a little extra voter turnout. Or she just wanted to be gross. Honestly for her it could be both. So she could still post to the social media platform without violating the site’s community standards, Handler placed two “I Voted” stickers over her nipples so she wasn’t totally exposed. Standing in front of the camera, the Dear White Privilege, It’s Me Chelsea star and Trump hater exclaimed, “I have voted! And I wanted to make sure that you are voting today, too!” Handler then began a spiel on how to handle voting “intimidation,” and honestly being assaulted by the sight of her all but bare breasts made the comedian a hypocrite on that front. She continued, saying, “Please do not let anybody intimidate you on voting lines. I know it can be intimidating when people have guns in the state of Michigan, which is ridiculous.” Oh great, a disturbing eyeful and another gun-control spiel. Who would have thought. Handler then mentioned that there were Michigan Supreme Court Justices on the ballot that could make sure that people don’t open carry near polling locations.  “If you are intimidated by anyone, please do not engage. Keep your head up high, go in and cast your ballot for the candidate that you choose. This is democracy. We will not stop until every vote is counted,” she explained.           View this post on Instagram                   PSA: Democracy means that every vote is counted! If you see something that doesn't look right at the polls, or need help voting, call the nonpartisan Election Protection Hotline: (866) 687-8683 🗳 My apologies to my nieces and nephews. A post shared by Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) on Nov 3, 2020 at 8:33am PST Funny that Handler’s the one instructing people on how to deal with harassment when it comes to voting. About two weeks ago, the actress publicly berated her ex-boyfriend, rapper 50 Cent, about his potential vote for Donald Trump because of his successful economic policies.  The abusive comedian addressed 50 Cent’s heretical voting preference via her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. She assured the host that she told 50 Cent he couldn't vote for Trump because he is “a black man” and, of course, black men can’t vote for Trump. Handler also told the rapper that her could have “another spin” with her romantically if he votes for Biden. Clearly, using sex to get her way is just one of Handler’s usual methods. In yet another example of this manipulative tactic, Handler lent her naked body to a voting PSA last month, joining bare naked Sarah Silverman, Mark Ruffalo, and other celebrities to educate voters on filling out “naked” mail-in ballots. These lefties will do anything for attention and their masters in the Democrat Party. If borderline pornographic ads are what propels our civic discourse in the future, we are probably doomed as a society.

NY Times: Trump Eroding Democracy While Biden Shows True Manhood

Jessica Bennett, the New York Times’ first “gender editor,” filed some silly pre-election psychoanalysis for Monday’s edition: “Trump (Tough Guy), Biden (Nice Guy) and the Politics of Manliness.” Bennett opened with the textual equivalent of a campaign video for a former Democratic president the media clearly misses, in the service of pushing Joe Biden over the finish line. Kindness. Humility. Responsibility. These traits were once “the definition of manliness,” Barack Obama told a crowd on Saturday, campaigning in Flint, Mich., for his former running mate, Joseph R. Biden Jr. Though he did not name him, it was clear whom the former president was talking about. “It used to be being a man meant taking care of other people, not going around bragging,” Mr. Obama said. The words were evocative, and not simply because Mr. Obama followed them by knocking down a slick three-point basketball shot at the gymnasium of the high school where the drive-in rally was held -- a kind of viral punctuation mark to his thoughts on manliness. In two days, Americans will take their shot, making a choice between two presidential candidates who resemble vastly different case studies in what a man, even in 2020, should do or be. After mocking Trump, Bennett embarrassed herself over the Biden-Harris ticket. On the other end of the spectrum, or perhaps somewhere in the middle, is Mr. Biden, a “Dad-like” figure, as the philosopher Kate Manne put it, who has vowed to be America’s protector through a dark period, with some combination of strength, empathy and compassion. He chose Kamala Harris, a barrier-breaking woman, as his running mate. He has surrounded himself with strong women. “He’s offering a more paternalistic type of masculinity, in that you can be a strong leader but still be compassionate and empathetic,” said Marianne Cooper, a sociologist at Stanford University who studies gender and work. Ugh. Also analyzing the president’s supposedly corrosive impact on America on Monday was chief White House correspondent Peter Baker, in “Trust Looms as Casualty Of a Truth-Twisting Era." The online headline deck over this "news analysis" was more explicit: “Dishonesty Has Defined the Trump Presidency. The Consequences Could Be Lasting. -- Whether President Trump wins or loses on Nov. 3, the very concept of public trust in an established set of facts necessary for the operation of a democratic society has been eroded.” Baker began hot: Born amid made-up crowd size claims and “alternative facts,” the Trump presidency has been a factory of falsehood from the start, churning out distortions, conspiracy theories and brazen lies at an assembly-line pace that has challenged fact-checkers and defied historical analogy. But now, with the election two days away, the consequences of four years of fabulism are coming into focus as President Trump argues that the vote itself is inherently “rigged,” tearing at the credibility of the system. Should the contest go into extra innings through legal challenges after Tuesday, it may leave a public with little faith in the outcome -- and in its own democracy. The Democrats themselves tore at the credibility of the system after Trump had the bad manners to win a fair election in 2016, marching in the streets, pressuring Electoral College members to go rogue, and calling for hopeless recounts in three Midwestern states. But somehow Trump is the only one trying to sow doubt about the democratic process? During his final weekend of campaign rallies, Mr. Trump continued to sow doubt about the validity of the election, making clear that he would deem any outcome other than victory for him to be corrupt. At a rally in Philadelphia, which has a sizable nonwhite population and a Democratic-led government, he asserted that the city would falsify the results…. The nightmarish scenario of widespread doubt and denial of the legitimacy of the election would cap a period in American history when truth itself has seemed at stake under a president who has strayed so far from the normal bounds that he creates what allies call his own reality. Even if the election ends with a clear victory or defeat for Mr. Trump, scholars and players alike say the very concept of public trust in an established set of facts necessary for the operation of a democratic society has eroded during his tenure with potentially long-term ramifications. So Trump’s not just ruining the country now, he’s already ruined its future as well? That’s a pretty harsh claim for a front-page “news analysis" to make.

‘Misleading:’ Twitter Censors Statement from PA Chair of Election Board

Twitter wants to fight “misinformation,” but instead it censored actual election information from the Board of Elections in Erie County, Pennsylvania.  The platform placed an interstitial, or filter, over a tweet from Mike Coudrey,  entrepreneur and CEO of Yuko Social, which helps people expand their social media presence. Coudrey’s tweet contained a statement from the County of Erie about an investigation into an individual “saying they are working as a part of the Erie County Board of Elections and throwing out ballots.” Coudrey’s tweet said “BREAKING: Chair of Election Board issues statement about the Erie, PA incident where a resident claimed to be a poll worker and destroyed 100 Republican ballots. They also confirm there is now an ongoing investigation to pursue potential criminal charges.” The interstitial stated “Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process. Learn more.” Not only did Twitter place the interstitial on the tweet, but the platform also will not allow users to reply to or “like” Coudrey’s tweet. Users may retweet the post, but only as a quote tweet. Why Twitter decided to censor a statement from an official government source is unclear at this point, given that the platform did not respond to a request for comment on the matter.  Twitter has censored many individuals, including President Donald Trump, in the last 24 hours. In September, Twitter announced that it would “label or remove false or misleading information intended to undermine public confidence in an election or other civic process.” Reuters reported that an individual who claimed to be a poll worker in Erie had “announced he had intentionally ‘thrown out over a hundred ballots for trump [sic]’ in the hopes of making Pennsylvania ‘turn blue.’” According to Reuters, the Erie County Board of Elections “confirmed” that the individual in question is not a poll worker. and “is not believed to be a resident of Erie County, Pa.” Conservatives are under attack. Contact Twitter at (415) 222-9670 and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on “hate speech” and equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored, contact us at the Media Research Center contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

Apocalyptic MSDNC Claims 'We Could Lose Our Democracy' If Trump Wins

On Monday afternoon’s MSNBC Live, host Ayman Mohyeldin conspired with presidential historian Michael Beschloss to make deranged claims about the election. Beschloss prophesied that “we could lose our democracy,” to which Mohyeldin replied that if this election was in a foreign country that our “alarm bells would be going off.” Mohyeldin began the segment by casting doubt about whether the election will be “free and fair,” to which Beschloss responded to with insane conspiracies about President Trump:     MOHYELDIN: But one central theme in all of this is how crucial that Americans feel that this is a free, fair and effective election. How do you think are we doing so far right now?  BESCHLOSS: That is absolutely crucial Ayman and that in retrospect we look back on this and say that the election worked and that we can all have faith in the result. So far generally so good aside from isolated reports. But the one caution I would give is, you know, over the next 36 hours, it’s possible that we might see things that we have never seen before. Everyone should stay calm. Demand a fair election. One bad very omen, is that President Trump, unlike any other president that I can think of in history has already been talking about threatening legal action, predicting that this would go to the Supreme Court, a Supreme Court of which he has appointed one third of the justices. That does not bode very well.  Mohyeldin then brought up the unconfirmed allegation that Trump will declare himself the winner if he is ahead Tuesday. Beschloss advocated for MSNBC’s idea of censoring the President if he does so and wished that Trump’s aide would “restrain him.” The Democratic hacks then melted down over the “norm-breaking” Trump holding his election watch party at the White House: MOHYELDIN: The President tomorrow is expected to gather supporters at the White House to watch the returns come in. How have other presidents seeking re-election waited for those returns? You know, you just mentioned Richard Nixon, I’m curious among others that come to your mind.  BESCHLOSS: Well, for example, Nixon in 1972 was president, won re-election. He didn’t have his election night party with his partisan supporters in the East Room, God knows. He went instead to the Shoreham hotel and they had a rally. That’s what presidents do. They make sure that their partisan political rallies take place in a hotel or bar room somewhere, not in the sacred East Room of the White House which is supposed to be nonpolitical. So now I guess, Ayman, you tell me. Are we about to see the spectacle of 400 people as reported wadded into the East Room, maybe some of them not wear being masks for a partisan event in this room that has seen so many sacred rituals like the funerals of Franklin Roosevelt and the lying-in state of John Kennedy? I don’t think that’s the way it’s supposed to happen. MOHYELDIN: Yeah, I was going to say, if the last four years have showed us anything, this is a norm-breaking administration. I just immediately think of the RNC and the speech the President gave there from the White House. The two then pinned all election related violence on the right and made apocalyptic claims about the election if Trump wins: MOHYELDIN: Let me ask you about something else that we saw over the past couple of days --this aggressive scene in Texas with the Biden/Harris bus nearly being run off the road. How close have we come to violence in our elections in recent history? And what I mean by violence, I'm not just talking about the isolated stuff, but I’m talking about these types of broad, similar pattern of behavior, these caravans that are going on, either shutting down highways or in this case harassing this campaign bus.  BESCHLOSS: This is totally out of keeping with the way we run elections in this American democracy. And even more out of keeping is to have a president who is the head of his campaign saying I think this is sort of a good idea. Maybe we can get some more or Proud Boys stand back and stand by. This is the kind of thing we've never seen before. We Americans have to be active citizens especially over the next two days. We have to demand that this be a free and fair election of the kind that we have always seen, and that this not degenerate into chaos. You know, we're going to have to sleep well tonight and make sure that we demand of our government and our system and everyone involved in it, that this election unfolds in the same way that elections always have.  MOHYELDIN: I have to say -- BESCHLOSS: Don't do that, we -- we could lose our democracy.  MOHYELDIN: Yeah, I was going to say Mike, I’ve spent a lot of time covering elections overseas and I often say, certainly to my friends, if we saw what was happening in this country now overseas, what would we be saying. And certainly, the alarm bells would be going off no matter what country.  Of course, the Democratic shills did not mention that leftists are planning violence if Trump wins and that leftists initiated violent protests after Trump won in 2016. On the day before the election, MSNBC is doing whatever it can to scare its viewers into voting for Joe Biden. This Democratic hackery was sponsored by Volkswagen and DirecTV. Let them know here if you think they should be sponsoring this content. Read the full November 2nd transcript here: MSNBC Live  11/2/20 3:05:10 PM AYMAN MOHYELDIN: Let’s bring in Michael Beschloss in this conversation. Mike, I wanted to get your thoughts on where we stand as a country with the sentiment that we have towards this election. This is an election that will be like no other, it’s in the middle of a pandemic, in the middle of an economic recession, civil unrest and so much more. But one central theme in all of this is how crucial that Americans feel that this is a free, fair and effective election. How do you think are we doing so far right now?  MICHAEL BESCHLOSS (PRESIDENTIAL HSTORIAN): That is absolutely crucial Ayman and that in retrospect we look back on this and say that the election worked and that we can all have faith in the result. So far generally so good aside from isolated reports. But the one caution I would give is, you know, over the next 36 hours, it’s possible that we might see things that we have never seen before. Everyone should stay calm. Demand a fair election. One bad very omen, is that President Trump, unlike any other president that I can think of in history has already been talking about threatening legal action, predicting that this would go to the Supreme Court, a Supreme Court of which he has appointed one third of the justices. That does not bode very well.  MOHYELDIN: I wanted to get your thoughts on something that the President has been doing and this is based on reporting from Axios, President Trump saying that has total confidence that he will declare victory Tuesday night if it looks like he is ahead even before the voting is officially over. You and I tried to make the point using sports analogies that that’s not how it works. You noted Arnold Palmer did not declare himself winner of a golf tournament because he was ahead on the sixth hole and then decided to walk off the greens. How likely is it that we'll know the winner of this election Tuesday night?  BESCHLOSS: It could happen. But if we don't, and if you have a president prematurely grabbing at a victory he doesn't have, we should just ignore what he is saying. Oddly enough, in 1968 at 3:00 A.M., Richard Nixon who was running for the presidency for the second time was in his hotel room in New York and he wanted to just go downstairs and claim victory even though the networks hadn't yet given it to him, no one had certified that. His aides had to restrain him from going down and making a fool of himself. I hope the President has aides who will do that too.  MOHYELDIN: I'm curious to get your thoughts also drawing on some of this historical references there that you were citing. The President tomorrow is expected to gather supporters at the White House to watch the returns come in. How have other presidents seeking re-election waited for those returns? You know, you just mentioned Richard Nixon, I’m curious among others that come to your mind.  BESCHLOSS: Well, for example, Nixon in 1972 was president, won re-election. He didn’t have his election night party with his partisan supporters in the East Room, God knows. He went instead to the Shoreham hotel and they had a rally. That’s what presidents do. They make sure that their partisan political rallies take place in a hotel or bar room somewhere, not in the sacred East Room of the White House which is supposed to be nonpolitical. So now I guess, Ayman, you tell me. Are we about to see the spectacle of 400 people as reported wadded into the East Room, maybe some of them not wear being masks for a partisan event in this room that has seen so many sacred rituals like the funerals of Franklin Roosevelt and the lying-in state of John Kennedy? I don’t think that’s the way it’s supposed to happen. MOHYELDIN: Yeah, I was going to say, if the last four years have showed us anything, this is a norm-breaking administration. I just immediately think of the RNC and the speech the President gave there from the White House. Let me ask you -- BESCHLOSS: Couldn’t be more right. MOHYELDIN: Let me ask you about something else that we saw over the past couple of days --this aggressive scene in Texas with the Biden/Harris bus nearly being run off the road. How close have we come to violence in our elections in recent history? And what I mean by violence, I'm not just talking about the isolated stuff, but I’m talking about these types of broad, similar pattern of behavior, these caravans that are going on, either shutting down highways or in this case harassing this campaign bus.  BESCHLOSS: This is totally out of keeping with the way we run elections in this American democracy. And even more out of keeping is to have a president who is the head of his campaign saying I think this is sort of a good idea. Maybe we can get some more or Proud Boys stand back and stand by. This is the kind of thing we've never seen before. We Americans have to be active citizens especially over the next two days. We have to demand that this be a free and fair election of the kind that we have always seen, and that this not degenerate into chaos. You know, we're going to have to sleep well tonight and make sure that we demand of our government and our system and everyone involved in it, that this election unfolds in the same way that elections always have.  MOHYELDIN: I have to say -- BESCHLOSS: Don't do that, we -- we could lose our democracy.  MOHYELDIN: Yeah, I was going to say Mike, I’ve spent a lot of time covering elections overseas and I often say, certainly to my friends, if we saw what was happening in this country now overseas, what would we be saying. And certainly, the alarm bells would be going off no matter what country.  BESCHLOSS: Absolutely.

CNN Promotes Unhinged Philly Dem Threatening to Put Trump Supporters in 'Jail'

It has become a common narrative for CNN to wildly claim, without evidence, that President Trump is trying to steal this election. On Friday’s New Day, co-host Alisyn Camerota eagerly brought on Philadelphia D.A. Larry Krasner to promote the same unhinged talking point and even threaten to imprison the President’s supporters. Camerota highlighted: “The D.A. writes, 'Keep your Proud Boys, goon squads and uncertified poll watchers out of our city, Mr. President. Break the law here and I’ve got something for you.'” Happy to egg on her partisan bomb-throwing guest, Camerota wondered: "What does that mean, ‘I've got something for you’?" Right on cue, Krasner launched into an anti-Trump tirade: “That means I've got a jail cell and I've got criminal charges and you can stand in front of a Philadelphia jury, which, by the way, is a diverse jury, and you can explain why you thought it was okay to come to Philly and steal our votes.”  Krasner, who is a member of the Democratic Party, has made numerous appearances on news shows, as evidenced by a tweet he personally shared.     The only time Camerota pressed for answers was to ask if there have been signs of "voter intimidation." Krasner replied negatively: “Not really, you know, that's some of the really important and good news.…And of the 24 complaints we've gotten so far on our hotline, none have been serious.” So he's making threatening statements and being given television air time to wail about something that isn't even happening.     The threatens continued though with Krasner taking a liberal view of the 2nd amendment: “We've never really had to be concerned that a bunch of knuckleheads were going to show up at the polls with guns. If they do it this time, they're going to have a problem. Because the fact is, the second amendment does not protect people who claim to be a militia and have not been summoned by the Governor.” There is no evidence that Trump or his supporters plan to come and steal the votes or intimidate the voters. This has not stopped the leftist-aligned network from running with hysterical claims that he is out to steal the election. Once again, CNN is too concerned with the narrative to be bothered with something simple like facts. This CNN bias was sponsored by Chewy and Rocket Mortgage. Click on the links to let them know what you think. A transcript of the October 30th Coverage is included below: CNN's New Day 10/30/20 7:29 AM ET ALISYN CAMEROTA: Developing overnight, a voting obstacle in western Pennsylvania. Thousands of voters outside of Pittsburgh said their requested mail-in ballots never arrived and Philadelphia's District Attorney has harsh words for the tactics he says the Trump team has already arrived. The D.A. writes keep your proud boys, goon squads and uncertified poll watchers out of our city, Mr. President. Break the law here and I’ve got something for you. Joining us now is Larry Krasner. Mr. Krasner, great to have you. What does that mean, I've got something for you?  LARRY KRASNER [Philadelphia District Attorney]: That means I've got a jail cell and I've got criminal charges and you can stand in front of a Philadelphia jury, which, by the way, is a diverse jury, and you can explain why you thought it was okay to come to Philly and steal our votes. This is the birthplace of democracy. We are not doing this. Wannabe fascists stay home. And if your idea of how to have a democratic election is to steal it, then I got something for you. CAMEROTA: Are you seeing signs of voter intimidation already?  KRASNER: Not really, you know, that's some of the really important and good news. What we are seeing is long lines that are moving very efficiently, with early voting. I actually voted early and when I did, it took me only 21 minutes to go through a line of 300 people to place my ballot. We're seeing huge turnouts, so far, it's going very well. We run an election task force to protect the vote. And of the 24 complaints we've gotten so far on our hotline, none have been serious. But we understand what's in the air and we are going to be vigilant on election day with our criminal justice partners, including the FBI and the local police.  CAMEROTA: So you are dispatching detectives or prosecutors to try to make sure that there's no voter intimidation?  KRASNER: We are dispatching both. And the Philadelphia police department has a very good plan for election day. We have a bigger bunch than ever. They are extremely well trained and we're looking for new things. We've never really had to be concerned that a bunch of knuckleheads were going to show up at the polls with guns. If they do it this time, they're going to have a problem. Because the fact is, the second amendment does not protect people who claim to be a militia and have not been summoned by the Governor. Militia is not something you get to be by saying it. It's something you get to be when governmental authority summons you. If you want to dress up line GI Joe and claim you are protecting the polls when we all know what you're really doing is intimidating voters, you're getting locked up. That is how it’s going to go. Do I think it is going to happen, no. I think the truth is, the President is a lot of talk, these guys with the little skinny gray beards are a lot of talk. When the proud boys tried to do a March in Philly, they had to import people from Indiana. They couldn't do enough to do a small March in Philly. So I think this is a lot of talk. We're going to be very vigilant and expect to have a very, very successful voting day.  CAMEROTA: Just to be clear, any reports that we've seen of the Trump campaign dispatching their own officials to be poll watchers, you've not seen that in any large numbers?  KRASNER: Not large numbers. We know that there was an effort to do that earlier. I don't know if they just don't know the law or they're deliberately trying to be provocative, but the law is very clear, you have to be certified. You have to meet certain certifications like living in the county, be certified, have a certificate, and you have to show it. You can't just show up and say, I'm a poll watcher anymore you can show up with a gun and say, I'm a militia. That's not how this works. And if people want to violate the law, there are consequences.  […]

Free at Last! Twitter Finally Unlocks New York Post Account

For over two weeks, Twitter locked down the New York Post's official account because of the newspaper’s reporting on the alleged corrupt dealings of Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. But on Friday afternoon the Post was finally set free from Twitter jail. On the seventeenth straight day of being deplatformed by Twitter, the Post itself reported: Twitter backed down Friday in its battle with The Post and unlocked its main account after a two-week stalemate over the Hunter Biden exposé. The move came after The Post refused Twitter’s demand that it delete six tweets that linked to stories that the company claimed — without any evidence — were based on hacked information. The Post never budged, and kept the tweets on the account during the standoff. Initially, Twitter blocked the link to the October 14 Biden exposé completely and shut down the account of anyone who tweeted it until they deleted it, claiming the story violated their policy on hacked information. Twitter later allowed the link to be shared, tweeting: “1. We will no longer remove hacked content unless it is directly shared by hackers or those acting in concert with them. 2. We will label Tweets to provide context instead of blocking links from being shared on Twitter.”  However, for some reason, this new policy did not apply to tweets that had already been posted. A Twitter representative emailed them on October 16, “While we’ve updated the policy, we don’t change enforcement retroactively. You will still need to delete the Tweets to regain access to your account.” Finally, in a series of tweets beginning just after 6 p.m. Eastern time Friday, Twitter Safety reversed course and posted: Our policies are living documents. We're willing to update and adjust them when we encounter new scenarios or receive important feedback from the public. One such example is the recent change to our Hacked Materials Policy and its impact on accounts like the New York Post. In response, we’re updating our practice of not retroactively overturning prior enforcement. Decisions made under policies that are subsequently changed & published can now be appealed if the account at issue is a driver of that change. We believe this is fair and appropriate. This means that because a specific @nypost enforcement led us to update the Hacked Materials Policy, we will no longer restrict their account under the terms of the previous policy and they can now Tweet again. This was just the latest in almost 30 changes Big Tech has made altering their policies regarding election-related content. Post op-ed editor Sohrab Ahmari tweeted in response to the Twitter Safety tweet, "As early as this afternoon, prominent journalists [!] were urging us to back down in the face of lefty-tech-bro bullying. The lesson: Never, ever give up when you have truth on your side." He also posted: To recap: 1. We never posted hacked material. 2. If reporting has to be approved by subject of the story, all journalism becomes p.r. 3. @jack and Zuck testified under oath that neither has ANY evidence this was hacked material. 4. DNI, FBI and State say no disinformation. This was some rare good news on the social media front, but with the election only days away, beware what other tricks Big Tech has up its sleeve to push Biden over the top. H/T Twitchy Conservatives are under attack. Contact Twitter at (415) 222-9670 and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on “hate speech” and equal footing for conservatives.
