  • Prosecution of Far-Right But Not Antifa for Same Riots ‘Constitutionally Impermissible’: Judge

    02/22/2024 5:02:13 AM PST · by CFW · 68 replies
    Epoch Times ^ | 2/22/24 | Caden Pearson
    A federal judge on Wednesday found that the “selective prosecution” of far-right groups without charging their far-left counterparts for the same acts is “constitutionally impermissible.” U.S. District Court Judge Cormac Carney of southern California therefore dismissed charges against two men from the “white nationalist” Rise Above Movement (RAM) who violently clashed with members of the far-left group Antifa at three southern California pro-Trump events in 2017. In his 35-page order, the judge stressed the importance of equal protection under the law. He said that although the two men may have been involved in violent acts, prosecutors were wrong to exclusively...
  • State Bar Associations Let Rogue Leftist Prosecutors Skate While Throwing The Book At GOP Lawyers

    Ajury decided the fate of Marilyn Mosby, Baltimore’s former top prosecutor, last week. In her second federal criminal case in recent months, the jury convicted Mosby of one count of mortgage fraud for making false statements to multiple mortgage lending companies as she purchased two properties in Florida. They acquitted her on another count. Already convicted on two counts of perjury for lying about her finances when withdrawing $90,000 from her city retirement account to purchase the Florida homes, it seems certain that Mosby’s political career is over. But will she lose her license to practice the law? According to...
  • Special Counsel Probe of Biden’s Classified Documents Is Complete

    WSJ ^ | 2/6/24 | Aruna Viswanatha, Sadie Gurman
    WASHINGTON—Special Counsel Robert Hur has finished his investigation into President Biden’s handling of classified material and has written a sharply critical report, according to people familiar with the matter. The report, which could add a dynamic to the 2024 presidential contest, is expected to be shared with Congress and made public in the coming days, the people said. A spokesman for Hur declined to comment, as did a spokeswoman for Biden’s personal lawyer. Hur was appointed in January of last year to examine why sensitive documents ended up at Biden’s home and former office, which initially were discovered by the...
  • OK, Dems. Let’s apply the George Santos standard to everyone: Why are so many House Democrats who regularly deceive voters still in office?

    Democrats are trying to expel Republican George Santos from Congress, depriving the GOP of one quarter of its majority in the House of Representatives. The New York Times, in its May 21 editorial, calls on House Republicans to remove Rep. George Santos because, as the title of the print version of the editorial, he deceived voters. The print version of this New York Times ploy to narrow the gap between House Democrat and Republicans is: "G.O.P LEADERS MUST HOLD SANTOS ACCOUNTABLE FOR DECEIVING VOTERS." The online title asks, "Why is George Santos Still in Office?" But why are so many...
  • CNN Talks Tucker Carlson's Alleged 'Culture of Sexism'—Don Lemon, Hello?

    In a CNN This Morning segment on Fox's firing of Carlson, repeated mentions were made of an alleged culture of misogyny and sexism at his show. Fair-'n-balanced journalistic standards would have made it incumbent on CNN to discuss serious allegations of sexism and misogyny against its own fired host, Lemon. But not a peep about Lemon's transgressions out of his former co-hosts, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins, or from CNN media reporter Sara Fischer. The focus was exclusively on Carlson's alleged misdeeds. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.
  • Why isn't it racism when the media and other Democrats seek to destroy conservatives who happen to be people of color?

    American Thinker ^ | 04/10/2023 | Jack Hellner
    Every day, the media and other Democrats seek to brand Republicans as racists if they dare disagree with Democrats' radical leftist ideology and policies. Democrats who engage in lawless acts and who happen to be people of color, are treated as heros. That includes two legislators who participated in a riot, protest or insurrection in Tennessee with the aim of disrupting legislative hearings and then got themselves expelled from that body as a result. They were invited to the White House and they were feted. That stands in stark contrast to the failure of Joe Biden to visit the Christian...
  • REPORT: DOJ Decided Against Having FBI Agents Monitor Biden’s Lawyers As They Rifled Through Classified Docs

    Daily Caller ^ | 17 Jan 2023 | SARAH WEAVER
    The Department of Justice (DOJ) considered having FBI agents monitor President Joe Biden’s lawyers as they rifled through classified documents before ultimately rejecting the idea, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported Tuesday. Biden’s lawyers found classified materials at the Penn Biden Center think tank in Washington, D.C., just before the midterm elections. The president’s legal team then conducted a search of Biden’s properties for other such materials. The president’s lawyers and the DOJ discussed the possibility of having FBI agents monitor the search but later decided against it, according to the WSJ....

    On Tiffany Cross's show MSNBC show on Saturday, resident provocateur Elie Mystal of The Nation made an invidious generalization about white people that would be condemned as racist if made in respect of people of another race. Commenting on Donald Trump's statement that there would be "big problems" in the country if he is indicted, and the possibility of violence, Mystal said: The cause of the problem, of course, is Trump himself and his MAGA acolytes themselves, and the people who are willing to do the violence in Trump's name. Again, I'm not, I guess I want to say that...

    (CNSNews.com) - The Office of the Inspector General for the Department of Justice released a report in June 2018 that stated that the FBI had “identified ’81 email chains containing approximately 193 individual emails that were classified from the CONFIDENTIAL to TOP SECRET levels…and sent to or from [Hillary] Clinton’s personal server.” The IG cited the information from a “letterhead memorandum” (LHM) that the FBI produced about its investigation of the matter.

    Washington Free Beacon ^ | June 16, 2022 | Aaron Sibarium •
    University’s approach to Kevin Kruse provides stark contrast to its treatment of Joshua Katz.. Princeton University learned in December about plagiarism allegations against one of its star progressive professors, emails obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show, but it does not appear to have taken action against him in the intervening six months. On Dec. 6, the economic historian Phillip Magness emailed Princeton's dean of faculty, Gene Jarrett, with evidence that Princeton historian Kevin Kruse plagiarized several passages of his 2015 book One Nation Under God. "I am sharing this information in the interest of academic integrity," Magness wrote. The...

    Imagine if the tables had been turned on all the most divisive issues we've suffered from the last couple of years. Counterfactuals, like "conspiracy theories," are frowned upon by those who look guilty when they are posed. Here are three to chew on during the holidays: (1) What if it turns out that the gene therapies marketed as "vaccines" by pharmaceutical companies end up causing more harm than good? What if it becomes obvious that more children die from government-ordered injections than would have ever succumbed to the virus itself? What if the long-term effects of any of these experimental...

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Protesters held a sit-in Thursday at the Interior Department building in downtown Washington and clashed with police as they challenged fossil fuel projects and called for the declaration of a climate emergency. Multiple arrests were reported. An Interior Department spokeswoman said a group of protesters rushed the lobby, injuring at least one security officer who was taken to a nearby hospital. Police and protesters clashed outside the building, and officers used Tasers against several unarmed protesters,...

    Breitbart ^ | 9/10/21 | Joel B. Pollack
    The Los Angeles Times has continued its racial attack on California gubernatorial challenger Larry Elder (R), this time on the news pages rather than in the opinion pages, with an article questioning his ties to the local black community. The Thursday article, by Donovan X. Ramsey, is titled, “Larry Elder calls himself ‘Sage From South Central.’ But his ties to Black L.A. are fraught.” Ramsey cites “critics” of Elder who “say he’s the Black face of white supremacy and his proposals would harm Black and Latino Californians” — linking to the Times‘ own opinion column, “Larry Elder is the Black...
  • Pelosi knelt for George Floyd in Congress but refused to read names of US military killed in Afghanistan

    Washington Examiner ^ | 02 September 2021 | Christopher Tremoglie
    Several Republican congressmen accused Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi of refusing to read the names of the servicemembers killed in Afghanistan during the ISIS-k attack last week. This is the same Pelosi who wore Kente cloth and kneeled for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in the Capitol Visitor Center to honor George Floyd, a criminal who resisted arrest and died in police custody. Pelosi’s action — or lack thereof, as this case may be — should be rebuked and condemned. “We gaveled in, had a prayer, said the Pledge of Allegiance, took a moment of silence with pretty much...

    One rule for us, another for them.. While British holidaymakers continue to face uncertainty and headaches over returning from foreign vacations, UN globalists arriving for a climate conference in Scotland won’t face the same COVID-19 restrictions. For months, Brits have been hesitant to travel due to onerous quarantine rules which enforce self-isolation upon return from different destinations. This was exacerbated by the government constantly changing which countries were on the green, amber, amber-plus and red lists – leaving many holidaymakers in limbo stranded abroad. UK citizens returning home from red list countries, many of which are located in Asia, Africa,...

    A tweet describing Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, the suspected gunman in Monday's Colorado supermarket shooting, as a "white Christian terrorist" does not violate the social network's misinformation policies, Twitter told Newsweek. ..Some users have deleted their tweets calling him white. Others have defended their claims, saying they were based on Alissa's skin color rather than his ethnicity. Newsweek put the misleading posts to Twitter. The social network has been accused of left-wing bias and anti-Christian prejudice in the way it polices speech on its platform.... "The Tweets referenced are not in violation of the Twitter Rules," the spokesperson told Newsweek...

    Appearing at a friendly CNN town hall event this week, President Joe Biden dropped a string of untruths on issues both large and small. One of the president's most egregious falsehoods was the claim that "we didn't have (the vaccine) when we came into office." The first shot was administered back on Dec. 14, 2020. Glenn Kessler, lead fact-checker for The Washington Post, quickly jumped into action on Twitter, explaining that this was merely a "verbal stumble, a typical Biden gaffe, as he had already mentioned 50 million doses being available when he took office. Former Trump officials should especially...

    The liberal-Democrat media celebrated Valentine's Day a traditional way: gushy tributes to the new first lady. On Feb. 12, Jill Biden tweeted on her @FLOTUS Twitter account a photo of herself, with a scrunchie in her hair, at a Washington, D.C., bakery picking up "Valentine's treats for the weekend." "Don't tell Joe," she joked. Glamour magazine posted an article titled "First Lady Jill Biden Wore a Scrunchie While Shopping and People Felt So Seen." New York Times reporter Claire Cain Miller tweeted, "Loving the scrunchie energy." A Washington Post "PowerPost" headline read, "Scrunchies and dog walking: the country gets a...

    When Barack Obama became president in 2009, he moved quickly to overturn many of George W. Bush's policies. During his first 100 days, Obama issued executive orders revoking the Bush administration's limitations on stem cell research, easing marijuana prosecutions, and endorsing a United Nations declaration on gay rights that Bush had declined to sign. Other Obama directives restored support for organizations that provided abortions, loosened restrictions on Cuba, and stopped requiring contractors to notify employees of their right to limit payments to labor unions.Eight years later, the worm turned.When Donald Trump took office in 2016, he set about reversing Obama's...

    In times of turmoil, is toxic, heated rhetoric emanating from the White House justifiable?"They bring a knife – we bring a gun.""I want you to argue with them and get in their face!""I don't want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I'm angry!""Hit back twice as hard.""We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick.""The other party's victory would mean hand to hand combat.""Punish your enemies.""I'm itching for a fight."Such combative political discourse must have been from Donald Trump, right?
