Democrats show their tendencies


Blue state blues: Remember when Democrats alleged fraud — in 2020?

Breitbart calls out the hypocrisy of Democrats in a 27 November 2020 article.

Saint-Pete-ButtigiegThe 2020 election began with allegations of fraud — by Democrats.

On Monday, February 3, the Iowa caucuses were held — the formal beginning of the presidential primary. The state had decided to use a new system of voting, loosely based on a ranked-choice model.

The voters in each community would meet and deliberate, then gather in different parts of the room, raising their hands to indicate their choices. That much remained the same as in previous years.

But in 2020, there was a new twist: candidates who received less than a 15% threshold of votes would be eliminated in the first round of voting.

Then, in a second round, those voters were freed to vote for other candidates; to pool their votes to reach 15% for a candidate who had failed to clear the threshold in the first round; or not to vote at all.

As if that were not confusing enough, the state’s Democratic Party had adopted a new smartphone application for the reporting of results. 

On the crucial night, with the nation watching, the app failed. News anchors muttered in frustration in front of their multimedia screens as the vote count stood stubbornly at zero.

Sensing opportunity, Pete Buttigieg — the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor who had built a fundraising juggernaut as the first openly gay presidential candidate — delivered a victory speech. 

“Iowa, you have shocked the nation,” he said. “With hope in our hearts and fire in our bellies, we’re going on to New Hampshire … to chart a new course for our country.”

It soon emerged that Buttigieg’s campaign had paid tens of thousands of dollars to the company that had developed the app, whose unfortunate name was “Shadow.” There were other links to Buttigieg, too, through investors in Shadow.

Supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) cried foul. They claimed Buttigieg had stolen the election from the Vermont socialist, who would later be confirmed as having won the popular vote in Iowa. (A statewide recount would confirm that Buttigieg narrowly won the race for delegates.)

The hashtags “#PetetheCheat” and “#MayorCheat” trended on Twitter. 

These same bizarre conditions would be repeated on a national scale in November.

A new system of voting (vote by mail); delays in reporting; shadowy voting software; premature declarations of victory.

The same factors that led to confusion and suspicion in Iowa virtually guaranteed that there would be perceptions of fraud in the November election. And the vulnerabilities of a mass vote-by-mail system, regarded as the least secure method of voting, also ensured that there would be irregularities.

Both sides anticipated a contested result.

In June, the Biden campaign announced that it had built a team of 600 lawyers “who are going into every single state to try to figure out whether chicanery is likely to take place,” the candidate told donors. He told The Daily Show: “This president is going to try to steal this election.”

The Trump campaign responded by accusing Democrats of “inserting chaos and confusion into our voting process because it is the only way they can win.” The president also predicted that the widespread adoption of vote by mail would lead to “the greatest Rigged Election in history.”

Though Democrats, and their allies in the media and Big Tech, would later try to discredit claims of voter fraud, the fact is that both sides had predicted it before the election, and Democrats had wrestled with allegations of fraud from the beginning of their primary.

There were certainly powerful incentives for fraud, and both sides were motivated to do whatever it took to win what all agreed was one of the most important elections in the history of the United States.

And the way the votes were counted, thanks to the vote-by-mail system, made it almost certain that there would be a perception of fraud.

Even today, Democrats — and journalists — are encouraging liberals to move to Georgia to vote in the Senate runoffs, though moving there merely to voters against the law.

Since it has been win at all costs since the beginning of the Democrat primaries, why should we be surprised at cheating in the primaries and the final election?

This not only shows the foundational values of the Democrat party (which is no values, since the Democrat party has used its convention to openly declare its non-belief in God).

From this foundation, it seems that Joe Biden has gone to extremes to continue this trend and build his life on the shifting sand of winning at all costs.

Twitter bans a Pennsylvania state Senator after he holds a fraud hearing

The One America News Network reports that Twitter has banned the Pennsylvania state Senator who held a hearing on voter fraud.

Big Tech has continued to show bias towards Republicans and GOP lawmakers with social media platform Twitter recently banning Pennsylvania Sen. Doug Mastriano after he organized a Senate hearing on election integrity.

DougMastriano_BannedThe ban came Wednesday after the Senate Majority Policy Committee convened with the goal of uncovering exactly what happened in the Keystone State.

“I mean, I don’t even know how this happened in America,” stated Mastriano. “We can send, 50 years ago, men to the moon, but we can’t have a safe secure election in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania? What’s going on here?”

The hearing included testimony from multiple witnesses who gave evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 elections with President Trump even delivering remarks via phone.

“Very sad to say it, this election was rigged and we can’t let that happen,” said the President. “We can’t let it happen for our country and this election has to be turned around, because we won Pennsylvania by a lot and we won all of these swing states by a lot.”

The President’s campaign has repeatedly fought to point out voting irregularities in the Keystone State. It has filed 16 suits that cited various instances of fraud, denial of access to Republican poll watchers, mail-in ballot issues and violation of equal protection clauses.

Earlier, Twitter could not allow the news of Hunter’s laptop to get out. Now it is news on the fraud.

This shows the true colors of the Democrats at Twitter: truthless, Godless, and threatened by alternative story lines that might dominate the headlines if people were allowed to see them.

According to social media, the story around this fraud hearing has not been silenced.

In response to YouTube feed pulls, conservatives go to Rumble and Vimeo


Lifesite feed pulled on YouTube. In response, they go to Rumble.

Lifesite News reports that the dictators at Google have pulled the plug on the Lifesite feed. In response, Lifesite News pulled up stakes and moved to Rumble.

LifeSiteNewsAs YouTube has suspended LifeSite’s channel for a week, based on accusations of “medical misinformation” within a video featuring comments by a medical doctor, LifeSite’s new videos will be available via Rumble or on The John-Henry Westen Show YouTube channel.

Rumble is popular as an alternative to YouTube for many conservatives, including Dinesh D’Souza, Dan Bongino, Devin Nunes, and others, as it is free from Big Tech influence and is outside Google’s de facto monopoly (YouTube is part of Google).

All of LifeSite’s videos and shows, including The Mother Miriam Show, The Bishop Strickland Show, and many more, will available for viewing this week on LifeSite’s Rumble channel by clicking here.

They will also be available on YouTube on The John-Henry Westen Show channel, which was not suspended. To find our videos on YouTube this week, like and click the notification bell on The John-Henry Westen Show channel by clicking here.

The video that led to censorship from YouTube can also be found there.

On November 18, YouTube had flagged another of LifeSite’s videos, The Mother Miriam Show. Despite being titled, “Catholic Christmas traditions to instill faith in your kids,” that video also received a warning of “medical misinformation.” YouTube then removed the video.

With the warning on November 18, and yesterday’s strike, LifeSite has now been banned from uploading any videos by YouTube for a week.

Although I don’t know the inner workings, my church steered from YouTube to Vimeo

My church, Crossroads Baptist Church, steered away from using YouTube to using Vimeo for its online sermons and other streaming services. Because I am not in leadership, I cannot tell you why this decision was made; however, by reviewing the things done by YouTube to people of faith and conservatives, I can certify that their decision was a reasoned and sound one.

Remember that Senator Obama won his election by challenging voter fraud


Hypocrisy alert: Obama won first election by challenging voter fraud

The American Thinker seems to have had enough of Obama’s whining over Trump’s not conceding (considering that Senator Obama came to power by challenging voter fraud in Chicago).

The first question the fawning Scott Pelley of 60 Minutes asked former president Barack Obama during their interview this past Sunday was this: “What is your advice in this moment for President Trump?”

Pelley was referring specifically to Trump’s continued challenge to the posted results of the November 3rd election. “When your time is up, then it is your job to put the country first and think beyond your own ego and your own interests and your own disappointments,” Obama pontificated. “My advice to President Trump is if you want, at this late stage in the game to be remembered as somebody who put country first, it’s time for you to do the same thing.”

More specifically, Obama insisted that Trump should have conceded no more than two days after the election. “When you look at the numbers, objectively, Joe Biden will have won handily,” Obama continued. “There is no scenario in which any of those states would turn the other way and certainly not enough to reverse the outcome of the election.”

Although Pelley was interviewing Obama about his new memoir, A Promised Land, neither of the two obviously thought it prudent to share with viewers how Obama won his first political campaign, a story that Obama tells in his new memoir.

Obama’s political rise began with the fall of one Mel Reynolds, a Democratic congressman from Chicago who made the rookie mistake of getting caught having a sexual relationship with a chatty 16-year-old campaign worker. This led to his indictment by a Cook County grand jury on criminal charges ranging from child pornography to obstruction of justice.

In Chicago, given that it takes an indictment to dislodge a sitting member of Congress, there was a Yukon-worthy rush to fill this open seat.  A likely candidate was Alice Palmer, the state senator from Obama’s district and something of a mentor to Obama. As Obama tells the story, he filed for her Senate seat with her blessing once she declared for Congress. The fact that Palmer was a fellow traveler, if not an outright communist, is a story for another day.

Unfortunately for Palmer, Michelle Obama’s family friend, Jesse Jackson Jr., also decided to file for the seat and bested Palmer in the primary. Like Reynolds, Jackson’s congressional career led straight to the hoosegow. In 2013, as the New York Times reported, “the popular young Democratic congressman” was sentenced to 30 months in the slammer and his wife 12 months for living “lavishly” off campaign donations and failing to report more than a half million on their tax returns. This apple did not fall far from the Jackson family tree.

Having lost in the primary, Palmer filed anew for her old Senate seat, and here is where things got sticky for Obama. “A few of her longtime supporters asked for a meeting, and when I showed up they advised me to get out of the race,” writes Obama. “The community couldn’t afford to give up Alice’s seniority, they said. I should be patient; my turn would come.”

Obama chose not to think beyond his own ego and his own interests and his own disappointments. While trying to rationalize why he should stay in the race, two of his supporters showed up “looking like they’d won the lottery.” Given the prevalence of voter fraud in Chicago, these veteran pols did need much in the way of luck. They just had to know where to look.

The one supporter said of the signatures on Palmer’s petition: “They’re terrible. Worst I’ve ever seen. All those Negroes who were trying to bully you out of the race, they didn’t bother actually doing the work. This could get her knocked off the ballot.”

Writes Obama: “It was true; the petitions Alice had submitted appeared to be filled with invalid signatures: people whose addresses were outside the district, multiple signatures with different names but the same handwriting.”

After months of hearing there is no evidence of voter fraud anywhere, young readers have to be shocked to learn just how casually Democratic politicians resorted to fraud (and still do) in cities like Chicago.

When Obama wavered about challenging Palmer’s signatures, a fellow supporter upbraided him. “If you let this go, you might as well go back to being a professor and whatnot, ’cause politics is not for you,” she told him. “You will get chewed up and won’t be doing anybody a damn bit of good.”

Contrary to the advice he is now giving Trump, Obama did not let it go. He filed a challenge with the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners.  Not only did the challenge take out Palmer, but it also eliminated “several other Democrats with bad petitions.” Obama ran unopposed in the Democratic primary and faced only token Republican opposition in the general election. A career was born.

So they claim that The Conservative Treehouse violated the WordPress Terms of Service by not kowtowing to Biden

If we lose our free speech rights by bowing the knee to a liberal agenda, we don’t deserve our free speech rights.

Still, it is odd that they don’t seem to remember that Obama demanded that voter fraud be investigated when it held back his initial bid for the U.S. Senate seat for Illinois.

Houston Chronicle recommends woman who would eliminate Moses


Houston Chronicle recommends woman who would eliminate Moses

Michelle Palmer in Democratic primary for District 6, State Board of Education [Editorial]

The Houston Chronicle shows its left-wing credentials as it recommends the election of a woman to the Texas State Board of Education who would remove Moses from history books.

MichellePalmer_extraLargeFor decades, the Texas State Board of Education has been known for its ideological approach to public education. While the pace of its meddling has slowed, the board still manages to invite ridicule and unwanted publicity. Take its 2018 debates about whether to continue to include Moses in U.S. history textbooks, and whether to cut out Helen Keller and Hillary Clinton. The board spends too much time churning out terrific material for late night television talk show hosts, and too little ensuring that Texas children get a first-class education.

Despite the late-night ridicule, the 15-member board’s work is critically important — and that makes the March 3 Democratic primary a race voters should pay close attention to. The board is responsible not only for setting curriculum standards and adopting textbooks and other instructional materials for public schools, but for overseeing the Texas Permanent School Fund and for reviewing applications for new charter schools.

Three well-qualified Democratic candidates are vying to replace Chair Donna Bahorich, R-Houston, who is not seeking re-election. They are Debra Kerner, a speech and language pathologist; Kimberly McLeod, an assistant superintendent at the Harris County Department of Education; and Michelle Palmer, a social studies teacher. About 1.8 million Texans live in District 6, which stretches from Tomball to the north to Bellaire to the south. The good news for Texas voters is that all three Democratic candidates are qualified. Each brings to the table considerable experience in education.

Out of this talented field, we’re urging voters to vote for Palmer, 49. Her years as a teacher in area schools including Aldine ISD and Houston ISD have made her familiar with curriculum issues and will bring a rare perspective to the board: that of an active teacher. Her zeal for change, especially for ending Texas’ abstinence-only sex education and for expanding the history lessons to include a broader array of perspectives, is admirable.

Texas State Senator Paul Bettencourt shows a differing perspective

From his 18 September 2020 Facebook post, Senator Paul Bettencourt offered a completely different perspective than the revisionist, iconoclastic perspective of the Houston Chronicle.

As usual the Houston Chronicle starts off the “endorsement” season with a leftist progressive bang. Instead of supporting a qualified Republican for the State Board of Education, Will Hickman, the Editorial Board goes socialist left in supporting a Democrat who wants Moses out of the Texas education curriculum. Here is my tweet as they wont respond to my questions

Moses is a major religious prophet in 3 major religions…for Christians with the 10 commandments, for Jews with the 5 books of the Torah and more, and for Muslims as Moses is mentioned 135 times in the Koran.

It is preposterous to see even leftist radicals try to say Moses has no influence on the US founding fathers! Really, a radical view of Moses ignores the 10 commandments in the US Supreme Court room in Washington and on the Texas Capitol grounds. These are the basis for Judeo-Christian beliefs and integral to the formation of western society.

Removing Moses from Texas education curriculum is tantamount to revisionist history that ignores our past. Don’t be afraid to speak out with friends and family at your place of worship, as I wouldn’t want to be a part of a future with no notion or memory of Moses and the 10 commandments.

Never forget, Biden pined for more Islamic influence in schools

Remember that Vice President Joe Biden recently said “I wish we taught more in our schools about the Islamic faith.” How will the Democrats square that circle if Moses, a common element to both Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, cannot be mentioned according to the edict of this exclusionary history writer.

Additionally, because this woman does fall in line with the Democrats who made a point of removing the words “under God” from the U.S. pledge of allegiance, maybe this gives the rest of us an additional reason not to vote Democrat for even dog catchers.

Lina Hidalgo 2018 endorsements


Since the largest part of my most recent posts that have garnered opinion have centered on Lina Hidalgo, I have compiled a list of endorsements to that neophyte.

If there is any doubt that this woman is a socialist, just look at the support from Julian Castro, Bernie Sanders, and politicians like them.

Lina Hidalgo was endorsed in 2018 by:

1. Annie’s List (for her socialist views). This support is reflected by this quote from their website:

Lina has dedicated hundreds of hours to our County’s most vulnerable communities — from her time at the Texas Civil Rights Project to serving as a Spanish-English medical interpreter at the Texas Medical Center and supporting immigrants in search of lost loved ones.
3. Battleground Texas may have endorsed Lina outside of its Facebook page, but I could not find it. Nonetheless, Lina listed their logo as one of the donors to her campaign.
4. CWA Local 6222 may have endorsed Lina in print or personally, but I could not find it. Nonetheless, Lina listed their logo as one of the donors to her campaign.
5. Emily’s List (for her support of abortion). This support is reflected by this quote from their website:

These endorsements are in addition to five previously endorsed EMILY’s List candidates – Lina Hidalgo (Harris County Judge), Beverly Powell (SD-10), Terry Meza (HD-105), Representative Victoria Neave (HD-107) and Julie Johnson (HD-115) – who also advanced to the general election.
6. The Houston GLBT political caucus (as reported by a 4 August 2018 Houston Chronicle article)

Houston GLBT Political Caucus members spent Saturday deciding which candidate to throw their weight behind in the upcoming general elections.

In one of the most discussed races at the event at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, caucus members endorsed Democratic candidate Lina Hildalgo for Harris County judge over Republican incumbent Ed Emmett.

“I’m trying to think of who is going to be the person most impactful and more helpful toward all communities rather than just majority communities, ” said screening committee Chair Brandon Mack. “And in terms someone having actual discussion and seeing them in the community and actually addressing those issues, I saw more of that with respect from Lina than I did from the county judge.”

Five times America received and reacted to electronic discrimination from the Cyber-Left


In an effort to further snuff out the conservative message on online, Facebook takes action

  1. Facebook announces hate speech advertisement ban

One America News Network reports that Facebook has decided to ban advertisements it deems as hate speech.

Mark_ZuckerbergMark Zuckerberg recently announced Facebook will prohibit hate speech from now on. On Friday, the CEO announced the platform will prohibit any advertisements that claim society is threatened by members of a particular race, ethnicity, gender or other protected category.

This came after several major companies threatened to pull Facebook advertisements for the month of July. Zuckerberg specifically noted posts from politicians will be removed if they “incite violence or suppress voting.”

According to the CEO, other posts may be flagged if they do not adhere to the company’s rules.

“We’re going to start labeling content that we find newsworthy that might otherwise violate our policies,” he said. “…If we determine the content may lead to violence or deprive people of their right to vote, we’re going to take that content down, no matter who says it.”

Facebook will also notify users if they try to share a post that has been flagged.

This comes as many social media users on both sides of the aisle have pointed out censorship abuses by big tech.

Attorney General William Barr has addressed how the Department of Justice might handle big tech censorship. In an interview with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Barr claimed the department is investigating several tech companies on the grounds of antitrust laws.

According to reports, he will be announcing specific measures in the next few weeks.

The attorney general is reportedly considering revisions to Section 230, which protects companies from content on their sites and ensures equal speech representation.

“They built up this powerful network, very strong market power, based on the representation that they were sort of open to all as sort of a bulletin board,” explained Barr. “When they got that market power, now they’re censoring views.”

Considering the American government developed the resource they now use to deliver their product, these Internet companies might deliver a balanced product

Considering that the Internet came from ARPANET (a network between universities and the military) and that the overall network within the borders of the U.S. cannot be disputed to as a U.S. asset, the American government might exercise the same rights as it does over the airwaves. That is, just as it requires television stations and radio stations to prove that they are broadcasting in the public interest.

Moreover, considering that all of these social networking companies say that they are platform where ideas are shared freely; however, in practice, they act as publishers (by editing the messages that are allowed out and choosing winners and losers among the field of message bearers). Therefore, if they are going to act like publishers, they should be open to lawsuits like publishers.

Another instance that reminds us that the speech everybody likes does not need protecting

  1. Reddit bans r/The_Donald and r/ChapoTrapHouse as part of a major expansion of its rules

As seen on The Verge, Reddit has banned subreddits “The_Donald” and “ChapoTrapHouse” as part of an expansion of its rules.

redditReddit will ban r/The_Donald, r/ChapoTrapHouse, and about 2,000 other communities today after updating its content policy to more explicitly ban hate speech. The policy update comes three weeks after Black Lives Matter protests led several popular Reddit forums to go dark temporarily in protest of what they called the company’s lax policies around hosting and promoting racist content. It marks a major reversal for a company whose commitment to free expression has historically been so strong that it once allowed users to distribute stolen nude photos freely on the site.

“I have to admit that I’ve struggled with balancing my values as an American, and around free speech and free expression, with my values and the company’s values around common human decency,” Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said in a call with reporters.

In a blog post that cites the company’s new rules, Huffman said users of the r/The_Donald subreddit had violated the site’s policies for years. (The site has no official connection to President Donald Trump, although he did do an Ask Me Anything there as a candidate in 2016.) “The community has consistently hosted and upvoted more rule-breaking content than average (Rule 1), antagonized us and other communities (Rules 2 and 8), and its mods have refused to meet our most basic expectations,” Huffman said.

Similarly, r/ChapoTrapHouse had also hosted content that violates the site’s rules, Huffman said. The subreddit is a spinoff of the popular left-wing podcast.

Reddit’s new policy begins with a first rule that requires users to “consider the human.” It reads:

Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and people that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

That formed the basis of a policy framework that bans hate speech.

“Reddit’s mission is to bring community and belonging to everybody in the world, and there is speech in the world and on Reddit that prevents other people from doing so,” Huffman told reporters. “Harassing speech or hateful speech prevents people from coming to Reddit and feeling safe and sharing their vulnerabilities … So if we have speech on Reddit that’s preventing people from using Reddit the way that we intend it to be used, or that prevents us from achieving our mission, then it’s actually a very easy decision.”

The introduction of the new policies has resulted in the removal of about 2,000 subreddits so far, and the company says “the vast majority” were inactive. Only about 200 of them had more than 10 daily users, the company said. They include:

  • r/DarkHumorAndMemes
  • r/ConsumeProduct
  • r/DarkJokeCentral
  • r/GenderCritical
  • r/Cumtown
  • r/imgoingtohellforthis2
  • r/Wojak
  • r/soyboys

Last year, Reddit “quarantined” r/The_Donald, placing it behind a warning screen after it was found to host content that incited violence. The company had previously prevented posts on the forum from reaching Reddit’s front page. Former users of the forum began moving to a new site off Reddit last year.

While Monday’s removals hit some high-profile political communities, Huffman said the company would continue to support a broad range of political speech.

It sounds like these restrictions would have stopped A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift

Although I do not support the transfer of nude pictures, this clampdown on the conservative segment of the Reddit audience does not match up to the standards that they claim to hold. As with the previous article, this seems like a case of a company that claims to be an online billboard acting more like an online publisher that edits the works on it.

Censorship of Conservatives by Liberal Twitter creates a response

  1. Parler hits 500K as an alternative to liberal Twitter

One America News Network reported in a 27 June 2020 article that Parler has gained 500K users due (in most part) to the censorship from liberals at Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.

ParlerAmid rising censorship of conservative voices on Twitter and other social media platforms, the new app Parler has seen a large influx of users. According to reports, more than 500,000 new people created accounts on the site after Twitter recently banned two conservative accounts.

Parler’s user base skyrocketed by 50% this week alone, bringing the total number of users to 1.5 million.

Conservatives like Rep. Matt Gaetz and Sen. Ted Cruz announced they joined site after experiencing what they called “unfair banning of right-wing accounts.”

“They use that power to silence conservatives and to promote their radical left-wing agenda,” stated Cruz. “Big tech has shown the ability to shadow ban what you say or post without anyone ever knowing about it.”

Potential Democrat leaders encourage discrimination by the Left on social media

  1. Democrat Congressional candidate urges Twitter followers to ‘report’ Trump supporters

Breitbart shares the rantings of McMurray, the ]Democrat candidate for New York’s 27th Congressional District.

Nate McMurrayNate McMurray, the Democrat candidate for New York’s 27th Congressional District, urged Twitter followers Wednesday to “report” Trump supporters.

“When you see fake videos, when you see racism, when you hear support for Trump, do not roll your eyes, do not play nice, do not worry about hurting someone’s feelings, CALL IT OUT — REPORT IT — FIGHT IT,” he wrote:

Thursday, immigration lawyer Matthew Kolken shared a screenshot of McMurray’s tweet and said, “This is a dangerous chill of 1st Amendment freedoms”:

However, McMurray appeared to have amended the “REPORT IT – FIGHT IT” command with “TALK TO THEM – DO NOT GO WITH THE FLOW” in another tweet on Friday:

This “Fight it” stance seems to go with someone who thinks their supporters have made their mind(s) up and cannot be confused with the facts

Much like the times I have noted the Cancel culture, this “Cancel campaigning” seems to ignore the opposition and encourages the followers of the campaign to do the same. It looks like this guy has thoroughly gotten lost in his own confirmation bias.

Facebook doubles down on eliminating the First Amendment

  1. Facebook blacklists Laura Loomer’s campaign ads

Breitbart reports on what might seem to be violation of Laura Loomer’s First Amendment rights.

Laura LoomerFacebook has reportedly banned all ads on behalf of Laura Loomer, the frontrunner in the GOP primary race for House candidate in Florida’s 21st district.

Loomer’s personal account is banned on Facebook, as well as on Facebook-owned Instagram, and her campaign was prevented from creating a page to reach voters on Facebook last November. Now the campaign is being banned from running ads on the platform as well.

Loomer’s most recent ad can be viewed on YouTube:

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has previously said it’s not right for “private companies to censor politicians.”

“The Laura Loomer for Congress Inc. Campaign represents more than just Laura Loomer, the candidate,” said Karen Giorno, chief strategist for the Loomer campaign and formerly the campaign manager for Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign in Florida.

The Loomer campaign, said Giorno,  “embodies a national movement, that radiates from within President Donald J. Trump’s home district, FL-21 and is made up of millions of voices from across the country. Many have become volunteers, donors and have pledged to vote for Laura Loomer in the August 18th primary and again in November to retire the radical, elitist, entrenched Democrat incumbent, Lois Frankel. ”

“This community of citizens that are Republican, Democrat and Independent are choosing to support Laura Loomer for Congress to represent them in Washington, because she embodies their values, their mores, their beliefs and their norms.  By Facebook banning Laura Loomer for Congress Campaign ads from running, they are essentially going against their own policy, and canceling millions of voices as well.”

“This is a perfect example of how Big Tech is committing blatant election interference in the form of illegal in-kind contributions to the Democrat party and their candidates in a race that is taking place in the President’s backyard.”

The Left is out to destroy America. Sadly, Loomer is getting in the way of that.

While Zuckerberg claims he wants free speech, his actions show that he only wants free liberal speech or free Marxist speech. If you step over the boundaries and start to become in the least conservative (as with the first article in this post), he will shut you down.

Liberals institute bad policy in place of a bad policeman


Out with the police … in with ‘Sharia patrols’?

OneNewsNow commented in a 26 June 2020 article on the dual trends of defunding the police and establishing sharia patrols in Minneapolis.

A Messianic Jewish leader is warning that if left unchecked, an evil alliance in Minnesota could result in complete devastation of the Twin Cities.

In the wake of the May 25th death of George Floyd while being arrested in Minneapolis, there have been calls to completely disband the Minneapolis Police Department. In fact, the Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously today approving a radical proposal to change the city charter to allow dismantling of the city’s police department.

“Doing so would first require amending the city charter,” AP reports. “Draft language of the amendment posted online would replace the department with a Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention, ‘which will have responsibility for public safety services prioritizing a holistic, public health-oriented approach.’

“The amendment goes on to say the director of the new agency would have ‘non-law-enforcement experience in community safety services, including but not limited to public health and/or restorative justice approaches.’ It also provides for a division of licensed peace officers, who would answer to the department’s director.”

Jan Markell is founder and director of Olive Tree Ministries, which is based in Minneapolis. During an appearance on American Family Radio Thursday, Markell said the area’s roughly 200,000 Somali refugees in the area have their own idea of what will replace the police.

“And that would Muslim patrols. You could call them Sharia patrols,” she stated. “They have this in Europe. It doesn’t work, of course, but nonetheless this is what they’ve implemented in parts of Europe.

Not too long ago, I blogged about Sharia courts in Texas

Likewise, I have blogged about the possibility of Sharia in the U.S.; however, from what I have heard of Sharia (from the Muslim translation Reliance of the Traveller) (a resource I first discovered through Cornerstone Baptist Church), Sharia will be a hard sell in America.

Unless the Democrats pull something that makes most voter fraud look like kindergarten antics, America will not submit to this Sharia.

After voting to abolish cops, Minneapolis City Council members hire private security

Townhall comments on both the Minneapolis City Council moves to abolish the police department and their hiring of private security for themselves.

MinneapolisCityCouncil
Minneapolis City Council

The Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously to defund and dismantle the city’s police department. Instead of having armed police officers responding to violent criminals, the new plan, which is still in the works, will reportedly task social workers, or some other type of liberal arts major, with keeping the streets safe in Minneapolis.

But FOX 9 News learned the city is now spending $4,500 a day on private security for three city council members following the death of George Floyd. A city spokesperson told FOX 9 that security details have already cost the city $63,000 over the past three weeks.

The Minneapolis city council is comprised of 12 Democratic-Farmer-Labor members and one Green Party of Minneapolis member. The three members provided private security are Andrea Jenkins, Phillipe Cunnigham, and Alondra Cano, all outspoken supporters of defunding the police. So these leftists hire muscle to protect themselves but abolish cops who protect everyone else. Something tells me the private security guards don’t have graduate degrees in social work.

“I don’t feel comfortable publicly discussing the death threats against me or the level of security I currently have protecting me from those threats,” said Councilmember Cunningham in a text message to FOX 9, adding the private security was only temporary.

I bet he doesn’t feel comfortable discussing it.

“My concern is the large number of white nationalist(s) in our city and other threatening communications I’ve been receiving,” wrote Councilmembers Jenkins in an email to FOX 9.

Considering the ways that Kim Ogg has betrayed Harris County, Texas as its District Attorney, Minneapolis does not surprise me

Kim Ogg has become adept at releasing felons and releasing liberal protesters. Therefore, it does not surprise me that Democrats would do things to endanger the community (or simultaneously enrich themselves).

Harris County District Attorney tries to force attorneys to attend her registration drive


Harris County District Attorney tries to force attorneys to attend her registration drive

Assistant District Attorney Cheryl Williamson Chapell resigns in protest of Ogg’s dishonesty

The Houston Chronicle reports that Kim Ogg has been accused of threatening employees to attend an event. Furthermore, we find that one attorney has resigned over this improper action by Kim Ogg.

OggAtLecternHarris County District Attorney Kim Ogg this week encouraged her prosecutors to attend a voter registration drive, where she would be present, in order for them to boost their standing in performance evaluations, according to an office-wide email circulating on Twitter.

Ogg, who is running for re-election as the Democratic candidate for district attorney, denied any ethical wrongdoing, and another prosecutor since said that the correspondence was a draft that contained incorrect information and was meant to be sent from his account. But the email has already contributed to one resignation from an assistant district attorney, who cited several examples of what she called Ogg’s “paranoia” and efforts to bolster her political status.

“Your repeated misuse of county resources and inaction in response to extraordinary worldwide crises demonstrates a lack of professionalism and leadership, and shows what is truly important to you,” Assistant District Attorney Cheryl Williamson Chapell wrote, according to a letter obtained by a reporter from the nonprofit news organization the Marshall Project. “Indeed, you seem to have emboldened dishonesty. I simply cannot work for you any longer.”

Ogg’s email, addressed on Tuesday to all assistant district attorneys, notified her prosecutors of a Ministers Coalition of Harris County voter registration drive and food giveaway on June 27. She would be speaking at the event and was looking for volunteers to help, the email read.

“Part of every employee’s performance evaluation includes a grade for personal development,” she continued. “This includes community activities and volunteering for projects like this.”

Mark Goldberg
Harris County Assistant DA Mark Goldberg

The prosecutors received a follow-up email Wednesday from Assistant District Attorney Mark Goldberg — a former city councilman who has become one of Ogg’s trusted employees — who said that Ogg’s email should have been sent under his name.

“What you actually got was a draft form with some misinformation that was inadvertently distributed in that form, and I apologize for any confusion,” he wrote in the email, which was also obtained by the Marshall Project.

Dane Schiller, Ogg’s spokesman, denied that his boss ever made a threat against her employees. Ogg was never scheduled to speak at the event, and volunteering became a part of evaluations at the request of an employee-led committee, he said.

Even if Ogg had sent the email personally, Schiller said, “At the end of the day, all you have is her asking her employees to consider volunteering in this poor, underserved neighborhood.”

Williamson Chapell then sent her email to Ogg and copied the staff on it, tendering her voluntary resignation.

In the letter, Williamson Chapell referenced an investigation Ogg initiated in March as to who might have leaked an internal document, actions that Texas Monthly reported. An investigator came to Williamson Chapell’s home to confiscate her work-issued laptop and cellphone, she said.

The prosecutor said she just received the email but denied distributing it, and declined to turn over her personal cell phone. When she did so, Ogg “all but threatened to terminate my employment,” she wrote.

She also accused Ogg of taking advantage of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis as a way to advance her political stature, and said her boss “implicitly threatened” them into attending the voter registration drive.

Schiller declined to comment on that letter.

Defense attorney Murray Newman, who catalogues courthouse happenings on his blog and tweeted the original email sent from Ogg’s account, questioned why Ogg would be asking her prosecutors to come to a volunteer event when they are largely instructed not to come to the courthouse.

“Ethically, it’s kind of a no-brainer,” he said.

(Read the comments by Ogg’s opponent, Mary Nan Huffman, at the Houston Chronicle)

While I doubt that this hit the front page or snuck above the fold, at least it was published in the Houston Chronicle

Pictures of the resignation letter would probably have hit the front page (had this been a Republican DA); however, at least the story was published. Links to the letter were made available (assuming that the user does have a current login to Twitter).

And one stock photo of Kim Ogg standing behind a lectern was provided by the Houston Chronicle.

At least this time the Houston Comical Chronicle did not leave it to Texas Monthly to report embarrassing news for Harris County’s top law enforcement official. Considering that Kim Ogg has a pedigree as a George Soros funded liberal who has subverted justice and released murdering criminals, I guess that we should be glad that this got released at all.

I guess we cannot expect much more.

Six little-mentioned things concerning George Floyd protests


  1. Drivers flee to HPD headquarters after altercation leads to gunfire, vehicles ramming each other

Houston CBS affiliate KHOU reports on an early morning altercation that ended in the Houston Police Department parking lot.

Houston police detained several people just outside police headquarters in Downtown Houston early Tuesday morning.

Police said it was after 3 a.m. when they received a 911 call about three vehicles following each other and shots being fired.

The vehicles were also ramming each other, allegedly. The vehicles went northbound on Travis in downtown and pulled up to police headquarters.

Officers in the building went outside and detained at least four or five people as the investigation got underway. One pistol was recovered at the scene.

I hope that this was a case of a sane person driving to a police station to escape an idiot

I certainly hope that this was not a case of Antifa elements testing the resources of Houston police.

However, with the race-baiting speech that Art Acevedo gave prior to the first George Floyd riot in Houston, the people at Antifa knew he ruled with a Democrat fist. So that might mean no bail releases for those who get caught.

Hence, as the following article might demonstrate, light sentences provided in Democrat strongholds might encourage bad behavior.

  1. Police Sergeant shot and killed during ambush near George Floyd protest

San Francisco ABC affiliate KGO reports that Sergeant Damon Gutzwiller and two deputies were ambushed and shot.

A Santa Cruz County deputy was killed and other officers were injured after an ambush on Saturday, Sheriff Jim Hart said.

On Sunday, the FBI revealed it is looking into a possible link between the Santa Cruz County killing and the death of an officer outside the federal building in Oakland last month.

Around 1:30 p.m. Saturday, the sheriff’s office received a report of a suspicious van on a turnout at Jamison Creek Road near Ben Lomond. The caller said they saw guns and bomb-making devices inside the vehicle.

When deputies arrived at the scene they saw the van leave and followed the vehicle. As the van pulled into a driveway on Waldeberg Drive, the officers were ambushed with gunfire and many improvised explosives, Hart said.

Sergeant Damon Gutzwiller, 38, was shot and taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

“In my 32-year career, this is the worst day I’ve ever experienced,” Sheriff Jim Hart said as he began the news conference.

Gutzwiller worked for the sheriff’s office since 2006 and is survived by his wife, young child and another on the way. Hart described him as a courageous, intelligent, sensitive and caring man.

“Words cannot express the pain we feel for Damon and his family,” Sheriff Jim Hart said, “He was the kind of person we all hope to be. Today, we lost a hero. We are grateful to have known him and we mourn with his family.”

During the ambush, another officer was struck by either gunshot or shrapnel from the explosives, then struck by a getaway vehicle, Hart said. The officer was taken to the hospital and officials say they are in stable condition and expected to recover.

Calls of carjacking soon followed as officers from other departments arrived to the scene.

The FBI confirmed to ABC7 that the agency is looking into a possible connection between the Santa Cruz County shooting and the shooting death of Officer Pat Underwood in Oakland last month.

More recent reports say Air Force Staff Sergeant Steven Carrillo allegedly killed the police

Since CBS News was reluctant to divulge any details Carrillo’s motive, it seems very likely that the liberal’s favorites (either Anitfa or Islam) might be involved.

  1. Maxine Waters calls ‘rioting’ a ‘negative language … used against Black people’

Breitbart talks about the race-baiting of Maxine Waters.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), in an interview published Wednesday, explained why she rejects the term “rioting” in describing violent protests, contending that the word is part of “negative language used far too often in a description of black people by folks who fundamentally don’t see black people the same way they see whites and others.”

Waters spoke to The Cut about her “longtime fight over the language of insurrection and unrest versus rioting” and told the outlet that the unrest in recent days brought her to reflect on “what was going on back in the day, when I was confronting Daryl Gates, starting when the police shot Eula Love, which brought me in contact with the police commission and brought me to taking a look at what was going on with police community relations” years ago.

She spoke in depth about her experience with Gates, Los Angeles’s former police chief, and explained how those events shaped her view of the “negative language” used today.

“A lot of negative language gets used against black people, describing what whites often believe is true about us: that language includes ‘lazy,’ ‘criminal,’ and ‘rioting,’” Waters told the outlet.

Naturally Maxine Waters turns rioters and looters into victims

Of course, if you have looked at any videos of the looting, no one race monopolizes crime. Therefore, references to perpetrators of crime cannot be racist unless you twist facts.

  1. Eric Garcetti lifts Los Angeles curfew after Black Lives Matter and ACLU sue city: Protests ‘almost … entirely peaceful’

Breitbart reports on the lifting of the Los Angeles curfew and the following protests.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Thursday that the city would be ending its curfew, which has been in place since Saturday, May 30.

Eric GarcettiGarcetti claimed that the curfew was being lifted because recent demonstrations — i.e. for the last 48 hours — had been peaceful. “Angelenos are rallying around powerful and peaceful demonstrations against racial injustice,” Garcetti said, as quoted by Yahoo! News.

However, the announcement also came after Black Lives Matter and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued the city on Wednesday, along with Garcetti and a slew of city and county officials.

The lawsuit claims (emphasis added): “Upon information and belief, between May 29 and June 3, 2020, approximately 30,000 people participated in protest demonstrations, almost of all of which were entirely peaceful, throughout Los Angeles County.”

It acknowledges rioting and looting, but blames “third parties who were not part of Black Lives Matter or most other organized protest groups.”

It also claims that such incidents happened “only” in a few places, such as “Downtown and Fairfax, Hollywood, Long Beach, Santa Monica, and Van Nuys areas of Los Angeles County.”

What percent of purity becomes acceptable?

When politicians and journalists are concerned, how much truth have you come to expect? As for myself, I check for a connection to a liberal meme before I assign any belief to a story. If the story does support a liberal meme (and most main stream and local stories do), then I check for other sources. If those other sources can be found, then I go with the one that seems the most acceptable to all sides (or, if I am trying to argue on a liberal topic, I might take the most liberally-accepted source).

So, rather than just considering the veracity and well-told story, I (and a number of bloggers I have read), consider other factors.

This is sad, but telling. Still, we must communicate if we are to get our message out.

  1. Lori Lightfoot begs major retailers to stay in Chicago after the lawless riots

Western Journal reports how Mayor Lightfoot has begged retailers to remain in Chicago.

Portions of Chicago have resembled combat zones for years.

But in recent weeks, roaming groups of rioters have used the May 25 death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis as a pretext to loot and destroy businesses both big and small in the Windy City.

LightfootThe response from the city’s Democratic leaders has been less than aggressive — and now they’re facing the potential repercussions of that approach.

National retail chain locations have been attacked, looted or burned and are now closed in many parts of the city, as was outlined June 1 by the Chicago Sun-Times.

Walmart, according to reports, might not come back, at least not fully.

WBBM-AM in Chicago reported the Arkansas-based retail giant is assessing which of its locations in the city are worth salvaging after criminals ransacked the stores during unchecked looting.

There isn’t a timetable for when that corporate evaluation will be completed, but Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, whose job it is to protect her city, is now pleading with Walmart and other retailers not to leave the market.

For the sake of the poor, I hope that this works.

For the sake of the poor in Chicago who did not riot and now are suffering because they do not now have access to groceries, pharmacies, and other necessities — I pray for you and have a broken heart for you.

However, for those who will grow up and read about the riots over a man who broke into a pregnant woman’s house and held a gun to her stomach as he searched for drugs, I can see the benefit of an exodus of Walmart, Target, and the other looted outlets. For too long, seeds of destruction have been sown. When seeds are sown, they come up in multiples.

  1. Charges dropped against nearly 800 Houston protestors

Houston Fox affiliate KRIV reports that nearly 800 protestors will have their charges dropped.

On the same day, George Floyd was laid to rest, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office announced it’s dropping criminal charges against nearly 800 protesters in Houston.

The DA’s office says prosecutors divided the 796 cases between people who sought to do harm others and property and people who were arrested for simple civil disobedience. They began filing motions to dismiss before sunrise Tuesday.

The cases dismissed were for non-violent misdemeanor offenses, mostly obstructing a highway and trespassing.

District Attorney Ogg“The job of the prosecutor is to seek individualized justice in every case,” Ogg said. “While probable cause existed for the arrests of those people who refused to disperse after being ordered to do so by police, our young prosecutors worked hard to identify the few offenders who came to inflict harm on others and intentional damage to property.”

Only 51 adults and one juvenile now remain charged with active cases. These cases include 35 misdemeanor charges and 19 felony charges; charges such as weapons offenses and aggravated assault of a peace officer.

“With so many professionals wanting to contribute, I am confident that the criminal defense bar will volunteer their services to clean up the criminal records of all involved,” Ogg said.

Three more proofs Democrat judges and Kim Ogg need to go


  1. Suspect on the run after 4 people were shot in Midtown

The Houston Chronicle reported through a 23 May 2020 article on the continued crime spree in the age of Kim Ogg’s released felons.

4shotFour people were injured in a Midtown shooting early Saturday morning, according to the Houston Police Department.

The incident occurred at around 2 a.m. near Anita Street and Travis Street in the proximity of Midtown Park.

HPD officers responded to reports of several gunshots in the area.

“Just after 2.am., one of our patrol officers out here heard some gunfire,” HPD Lieutenant R. Wilkins said. “When he got in the area, he saw a vehicle leave. They got behind it and stopped it real fast. Right after, we started having shooting calls he had dispatched over here.”

When officers arrived upon the scene, they found four men with gunshot wounds. Two victims are in critical condition at an area hospital.

HPD officials say that the suspect is now on the run, and the motive for the shooting is unknown. During the investigation, police discovered that the driver who was pulled over initially was unrelated to the shooting.

“The one we had stopped we don’t believe will be a part of the shooting investigation,” Wilkins said.

While this particular crime cannot now be tied to a released felon, it joins a trend

Houston murders and other violent crime have seen a dramatic increase due to Democrat Kim Ogg and the social justice judges (as demonstrated by the following tweets from law enforcement leaders).

Michael Berry of KTRH bemoans the release of double-murder suspect Brian Bullock by outlining the facts and linking to a report of the murders.

Investigators say Brian Bullock was free on-bond when they say he murdered his estranged wife and another man who was conducting renovations on her home.

The pair were brutally stabbed to death.

Despite the double capital murder charges, a Harris County judge granted Bullock bond last week and he’s now free.

  1. Alexis Saborit, already wanted for parole violations, now is wanted for intoxication manslaughter

The Houston Chronicle reports on the hit-and-run tactics of this felon.

The driver accused of killing two people during a short-lived police chase in northwest Harris County Monday night had a warrant out for his arrest for evading deputies outside the jail months ago, records show.

Now, 31-year-old Alexis Saborit is facing two felony murder charges. He’s accused of killing 63-year-old Jarvis Taylor and 57-year-old Roosevelt McClendon at the end of the pursuit.

A Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputy spotted the driver of a Mercedes Benz car, later identified as Saborit, in the 10000 block of Veterans Memorial Drive driving 61 mph in a 45 mph zone around 9 p.m., authorities said. The deputy tried to pull Saborit over, but he allegedly sped off south along Veterans Memorial.

After crossing West Mount Houston Road, Saborit allegedly pulled into the northbound lanes and drove the wrong way. The deputy followed the driver southbound in the northbound lanes, according to HCSO spokesperson Jason Spencer.

Seconds later, the Mercedes driver slammed into Taylor, who was on a bicycle in the outside lane. The driver continued and crashed head-on into a Buick LaCrosse, driven by McClendon.

The deputy, helped by a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper, took Saborit into custody after the crash, Sgt. Simon Cheng said. He was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

Firefighters had to cut McClendon out of his car as paramedics rushed Taylor to a nearby hospital. McClendon was taken to the hospital in an air ambulance.

Both were pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospitals, Cheng said.

Saborit showed signs of intoxication, Cheng said, although it is unclear if that was factored into the felony murder charges. In Texas, anyone who is committing certain felonies while doing something “clearly dangerous to human life” can be charged with felony murder if someone dies during the commission of the underlying crime, according to state law.

As soon as this felon violated his terms of probation, he should have been in jail

The first time this man broke the terms of his probation, he should have been put in jail. That would have saved the lives of two people — innocent people — not that Kim Ogg or the social justice judges care.
