(2/2) I’m pleased to announce that the owners have joined my campaign finance committee. We will hold daily political rallies at Atilis gym.

Patriots stepping up to save independent media from COVID-19 woes
We were on the verge of a disastrous end, but you guys have been stepping up big time. We’re almost there.
This year has been a roller-coaster ride for tens of millions of Americans. We’ve experienced the hardest economic downturn in history thanks to the coronavirus lockdowns and many are still trying to recover. We’re among them. Despite record-breaking surges in traffic, our revenue has fallen dramatically. It’s strange knowing that we’re working harder and getting the truth out to more people, yet revenue on the site plummeted.
We have called on our patriotic readers and podcast listeners to pitch in what they can to help. The outpouring of support has been tremendous and extremely humbling. As a conservative, I have a hard time “begging” for funds to keep our news outlet running, but COVID-19 lockdowns and subsequent reduction of revenues have made it necessary. Nevertheless, the last month has shown us that patriots appreciate pro-American news as a contrast to the anti-American mainstream media outlets spreading lies incessantly.
We asked for help and you guys have been delivering. We raised over $3200, enough to keep us going for the rest of August and part of September! I cannot stress how much of a blessing this has been for not only NOQ Report as an organization but also for my family. This isn’t a hobby; we operate NOQ Report and all of the podcasts associated with it as a more-than-full-time job. Every day we’re producing tons of content and spreading the truth that mainstream media refuses to report. Even when they do report it, they do so with a leftist slant while pretending to be unbiased. We do not use subterfuge. We are unabashedly conservative in our opinion but the news we report is factual. It all comes from a conservative, America First perspective, but we do not lie.
This isn’t about propaganda. If it were, we would be no better than the mainstream media outlets we abhor. Instead, we focus on the truth because we know that being honest gives us credibility. Besides, conservatives almost always have the truth on our side.

In the past two months, three of my sisters, my friends, have been arrested and brutalized by the Chicago Police Department. Our mayor has said nothing about it—our black, gay mayor is not protecting the black women in this city. I have a personal problem with that. Alicia was arrested during the first protest downtown.

These are women that are not committing any crimes except for exercising their First Amendment right to speak their voice. We’re speaking out against injustice, systemic racism, police brutality, we’re sick our brothers and our sisters dying in our communities and the only thing that the mayor can do is sic her dogs on us?

thelibertydaily--2020-08-22--Illegal Big Tech Election Meddling: Slow Joe Biden Mysteriously Has ‘Dislikes’ Disappearing on YouTu

Illegal Big Tech Election Meddling: Slow Joe Biden Mysteriously Has ‘Dislikes’ Disappearing on YouTube

During Joe Biden 's presidential nomination acceptance speech Thursday night , both his personal YouTube page and the Democratic Party 's YouTube page saw strong , negative reactions from live audiences .
In fact , `` Dislikes '' outnumbered `` Likes , '' in real time .
Yet both pages ' `` Dislikes '' mysteriously dropped in the hours after the Democratic National Convention ( DNC ) had concluded .
The changing statistics led some on social media to wonder if the Google-owned YouTube platform was protecting Biden .
The number of Democratic convention stream `` Dislikes '' -- or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not like the content onscreen -- dropped on Friday below where they stood on Thursday last night .
The removed Dislikes could be a signal that YouTube is concerned about fake accounts or bots trying to influence the election or indicative of something else , experts said .
Tech giants have for years been in the crosshairs of Republicans for perceived anti-conservative bias .
There were many more `` Dislikes '' than `` Likes '' on DNC proceedings Thursday , but many of those `` Dislikes '' later disappeared , and the ratio @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's DNC proceedings , however , on Friday evening had more `` Dislikes '' than `` Likes , '' though the ratio had tightened .
Just the News observed the drop in `` Dislikes '' in real time between Thursday evening and mid-day Friday , a trend observed by additional YouTube users as well .
A video posted by YouTube user `` nina e '' illustrated screen shots of the number of ' '' Dislikes '' for the 2020 Democratic National Convention Livestream dropping .
`` After seeing many dislikes disappearing on videos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sic ] decided to do a screen record to document the censorship in favour of Joe Biden .
On this video you can see me refreshing/reopening the page of the video of the 4th DNC Convention , the dislike were 5,9k , and when I reopened the page , 2,1k dislikes magically disappeared🤷🏻♀ while likes even increased ... later on , the erasing grew bigger but i did n't document it .
It is unknown if dislikes are being frozen by continuously erasing them as they appear .
`` This is CENSORSHIP to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ order to motivate people to vote for him and suppress Trump voters . ''
Neither representatives from Google ( which owns YouTube ) nor the Biden campaign responded to requests for comment from Just the News .
`` We have all these new metrics and we 're trying to figure out what they mean , '' said data expert and pollster Scott Rasmussen , who conducts the Just the News ' Daily Poll .
`` And we know that there 's a lot of trolling that goes on with online social media platforms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how to interpret these numbers , obviously , you would never like to have more negatives than positives .
But at the end of the day , Joe Biden 's challenge is that Joe Biden is never going to be a beloved candidate .
His challenge is to be less disliked than Donald Trump , his challenge is to be less disliked than Hillary Clinton , and his entire campaign is about focusing attention on Donald Trump , and so all the rest of this has to be seen in that perspective .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ many people said they voted for candidate Donald Trump because they were opposed to Democrat Hillary Clinton rather than being enthusiastically pro-Trump , and he said there could be a reverse now with many voters `` holding their noses '' to vote for Biden because they 're anti Trump .
`` Certainly there will be people who who do that , absolutely , '' Rasmussen said .
`` Many of them will be supporters of Bernie Sanders , and some of them will be 'Never Trumpers . '
But yes , I would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said that in 2016 , there were 15 % of voters who said that both major candidates were unqualified for the job , and that two-thirds of those voters voted for Trump .
`` And I think this time around we may see a similar dynamic , where there will be a significant portion of the electorate , whether it be bigger or smaller than before who says both candidates are unqualified for the job , '' Rasmussen said .
`` And the question will be , can Biden reverse those numbers ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ their nose to vote for him , or will two thirds be elected in 2016 and voting for Trump ?
Regarding the YouTube question Rasmussen said the negativity toward Biden could be from different camps , including Democrats who are disgruntled supporters of former candidate Bernie Sanders , some non-Democratic bots or trolls and even possibly some organized anti-Biden coordination .
`` I would assume that somebody coordinated , and I would it assumes it includes all of the above categories , '' Rasmussen said .
`` We have no way of knowing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are people who are going to say , ‘ There 's no difference between Biden and Trump , because you know they 're Bernie supporters .
I have no doubt there are other disgruntled people .
at the end of the day , though , those disgruntled voters always come home .
When they walk into the voting booth they 're gon na say I have to vote against Donald Trump , if they ’ re a Democrat . ''

During Joe Biden's presidential nomination acceptance speech Thursday night, both his personal YouTube page and the Democratic Party's YouTube page saw strong, negative reactions from live audiences. In fact, "Dislikes" outnumbered "Likes," in real time.
Yet both pages' "Dislikes" mysteriously dropped in the hours after the Democratic National Convention (DNC) had concluded. The changing statistics led some on social media to wonder if the Google-owned YouTube platform was protecting Biden.
The number of Democratic convention stream "Dislikes"--or people pressing a button saying they did not like the content onscreen--dropped on Friday below where they stood on Thursday last night. The removed Dislikes could be a signal that YouTube is concerned about fake accounts or bots trying to influence the election or indicative of something else, experts said.
Tech giants have for years been in the crosshairs of Republicans for perceived anti-conservative bias.
There were many more "Dislikes" than "Likes" on DNC proceedings Thursday, but many of those "Dislikes" later disappeared, and the ratio shifted in the other direction. Monday's DNC proceedings, however, on Friday evening had more "Dislikes" than "Likes," though the ratio had tightened.
Just the News observed the drop in "Dislikes" in real time between Thursday evening and mid-day Friday, a trend observed by additional YouTube users as well.
A video posted by YouTube user "nina e" illustrated screen shots of the number of '"Dislikes" for the 2020 Democratic National Convention Livestream dropping.
"After seeing many dislikes disappearing on videos of the DNC Conventions, i [sic] decided to do a screen record to document the censorship in favour of Joe Biden.

It is unknown if dislikes are being frozen by continuously erasing them as they appear.
"This is CENSORSHIP to hide Joe Biden's unpopularity, in order to motivate people to vote for him and suppress Trump voters."
Neither representatives from Google (which owns YouTube) nor the Biden campaign responded to requests for comment from Just the News.
"We have all these new metrics and we're trying to figure out what they mean," said data expert and pollster Scott Rasmussen, who conducts the Just the News' Daily Poll. "And we know that there's a lot of trolling that goes on with online social media platforms. So it's hard to know how to interpret these numbers, obviously, you would never like to have more negatives than positives. But at the end of the day, Joe Biden's challenge is that Joe Biden is never going to be a beloved candidate. His challenge is to be less disliked than Donald Trump, his challenge is to be less disliked than Hillary Clinton, and his entire campaign is about focusing attention on Donald Trump, and so all the rest of this has to be seen in that perspective."
Rasmussen noted that in 2016, many people said they voted for candidate Donald Trump because they were opposed to Democrat Hillary Clinton rather than being enthusiastically pro-Trump, and he said there could be a reverse now with many voters "holding their noses" to vote for Biden because they're anti Trump.
"Certainly there will be people who who do that, absolutely," Rasmussen said. "Many of them will be supporters of Bernie Sanders, and some of them will be 'Never Trumpers.' But yes, I would expect that will happen."
Rasmussen said that in 2016, there were 15% of voters who said that both major candidates were unqualified for the job, and that two-thirds of those voters voted for Trump.
"And I think this time around we may see a similar dynamic, where there will be a significant portion of the electorate, whether it be bigger or smaller than before who says both candidates are unqualified for the job," Rasmussen said. "And the question will be, can Biden reverse those numbers? Will two-thirds of the people be holding their nose to vote for him, or will two thirds be elected in 2016 and voting for Trump?
Regarding the YouTube question Rasmussen said the negativity toward Biden could be from different camps, including Democrats who are disgruntled supporters of former candidate Bernie Sanders, some non-Democratic bots or trolls and even possibly some organized anti-Biden coordination.
"I would assume that somebody coordinated, and I would it assumes it includes all of the above categories," Rasmussen said. "We have no way of knowing the mix. I guarantee you there are people who are going to say, ‘There's no difference between Biden and Trump, because you know they're Bernie supporters. I have no doubt there are other disgruntled people. at the end of the day, though, those disgruntled voters always come home. When they walk into the voting booth they're gonna say I have to vote against Donald Trump, if they’re a Democrat."

thelibertydaily--2020-08-23--Rapper ICE Cube Blasts DNC: ‘What’s In It For The Black Community?’ ‘Make Them Earn That Vote’

Rapper-turned-actor-turned-producer Ice Cube is not feeling the love after four days of the Democratic National Convention ( DNC ) , in which politician after politician delivered one sanctimonious speech after the other .
In Ice Cube ’ s mind , the whole parade was one big showboat with little substance and nothing for the black community .
In a video posted to Twitter , Ice Cube lamented that the DNC offered nothing to the American black community beyond the same old talking points .
“ Over the last four days , the Democratic national party held a convention .
A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talking and everybody really eating it up .
Throwing their hands in the air like they just don ’ t care , ” he began .
“ What I didn ’ t hear is , what ’ s in it for us ?
What ’ s in it for the black community besides the same old thing we ’ ve been getting from these parties ?
What ’ s in it for us for real ?
” he continued .
“ I didn ’ t hear anybody mention a contract with black America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ why because it ’ s one of the most comprehensive reform documents that ’ s come out in a long time that can really address the problem .
The way it looks , they don ’ t have a plan .
Everybody is , you know , talking about , ‘ get Trump out , get Trump out , get Trump out . '
” Though Ice Cube would like to “ get Trump out , ” he acknowledged a Biden presidency will do little to change the current status quo .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ black businesses have been severely affected by the lockdowns with little or no plan offered to help them survive .
“ If you vote , that ’ s going to happen on the first day .
So now what ?
Trump out .
Now what ?
What do we get in the first hundred days ?
That ’ s what we [ are ] trying to figure out .
What do we actually get that they could give us overnight ?
” he questioned .
“ They just pulled $ 3 trillion out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ friends .
That ’ s American taxpayer money .
That ’ s your money that they just gave away.
” “ And then there ’ s 42 % of Black businesses closing .
None of that money—where ’ s our f***ing bailout ?
Where ’ s the bailout , not the PPE loan that they didn ’ t give us ?
Where ’ s the bailout ?
” he continued .
“ I don ’ t wan na hear about deficit .
I don ’ t wan na hear about what our generation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Because if we don ’ t have s**t , they ain ’ t going to have s**t anyway to pay nothing .
So we got ta start something right now.
” Ice Cube finally cautioned black Americans against voting mindlessly and challenged them to make Democrats ( and Republicans ) earn their vote .
“ Democrats don ’ t seem like they got a plan , Republicans don ’ t seem like they got a plan for us , ” he concluded .
“ So how the hell are you going to vote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vote .
They can start today .
They ain ’ t got it yet .
They can start today .

Did His Life Matter? 80-Year-Old Hispanic Grandfather Dies After Vicious Beating in Grocery Store Bathroom By a Black Thug; Surveillance Video Leads to Arrest

80-year-old grandfather dies after vicious beating in grocery store bathroom ; surveillance video leads to suspect arrest The victim 's @ @ @ @ @ over his wallet

A family is in mourning after an 80-year-old grandfather died, possibly as a result of a vicious beating in a grocery store bathroom during a robbery. Police later apprehended a suspect after obtaining surveillance video.
The troubling incident unfolded in Lancaster, California.
Roberto Flores Lopez was found badly beaten in the restroom of a Superior Grocers after what appeared to be a robbery in July. According to his family, his extensive injuries included "five broken ribs, broken eyes socket, multiple facial fractures, [and] mental trauma."
The victim was hospitalized and released to go home, but had to return to the hospital later. He died on Wednesday, a month after the assault. It was unclear if the man died from the injuries sustained in the incident. TheBlaze has reached out to the Lancaster Sheriff's Station for comment.
Police identified two suspects after seeking help from the public with images from surveillance video.
22-year-old Damaris Wade was charged with attempted murder, elder abuse and second-degree robbery, according to an announcement from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
His girlfriend was initially charged with a felony count of accessory after the fact, but prosecutors later dropped the charge after noting that she had not been at the store during the beating.
The family called for more serious charges to be pressed against the two suspects.
"This case went from just a robbery and an assault to murder," said the victim's son Fernando at a media briefing.
"We want this whole entire thing, for the guy that did this to my dad — for him to get it for manslaughter, and to get charges for manslaughter and murder, because my dad's dead," he added, according to KTLA-TV. "He killed my dad."
Prosecutors said Wade had a previous conviction for robbery and if found guilty, could face 25 years in prison.
Lopez had 16 grandchildren and great-grandson. The family has set up a GoFundMe account to help with the medical expenses and his burial arrangements.
Here's a local news report about the horrendous incident:

According to a transcript of a press conference on 15 August, President Trump did say – when asked about the presence of neo-Nazis at the rally – “you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.” During the same press conference, Mr Trump went on to say “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.”
Most major media outlets — including Fox News — failed to point out that Biden was lying Thursday.

On Sunday, Twitter slapped a warning on this tweet from President Donald Trump where he called ballot drop boxes a “voter security disaster,” adding that “they are not Covid sanitized”:
So now the Democrats are using Mail Drop Boxes, which are a voter security disaster. Among other things, they make it possible for a person to vote multiple times. Also, who controls them, are they placed in Republican or Democrat areas? They are not Covid sanitized. A big fraud!
From Twitter:
We placed a public interest notice on this Tweet for violating our Civic Integrity Policy for making misleading health claims that could potentially dissuade people from participation in voting. https://t.co/MA6E7mBpkm — Twitter Safety (@TwitterSafety) August 23, 2020
Before the flag, journos pointed out the ballot drop boxes are in use in Florida, where President Trump has previously said is doing vote-by-mail correctly:
Many states use drop boxes – including Florida – the President's home state. Drop boxes do not make it possible to vote multiple times. All of the ballots are checked by local elections officials in just the same way as if the ballot arrived by mail. https://t.co/KbMeeZGEhA — Jamie Dupree (@jamiedupree) August 23, 2020
You got your wish:
Please report this tweet, which violates Twitter's rules about election-related misinformation. https://t.co/GiY7HZiKpn — Ed Bott (@edbott) August 23, 2020
Twitter didn’t delete the tweet, but users have to go through an extra step to see it in their timeline. This is how it shows up on Twitter.com:
The claim that using the boxes is a risk because of COVID-19 is a problem too:
Trump just falsely claimed that the mail spreads Covid. https://t.co/F55wNEeFRM — John Aravosis ?????? (@aravosis) August 23, 2020
How are we going to get schools open if we’re worried about the virus on envelopes?
If Trump is so worried about COVID sanitation that we can't use mail drop boxes, we're going to need to shut every store, restaurant, and public area down until we're figure it out. (He's not worried about it, he's just using it as a pretense to argue against mail-in voting) https://t.co/PUG3IqdJ5m — Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) August 23, 2020

The right is celebrating the defunding of most of the NIH ’ s experiments using the body parts of murdered babies bought from Planned Parenthood .
Meanwhile , Congress is busy giving tens of BILLIONS of dollars more to develop a vaccine using patented cells harvested from aborted babies .

” “ The NIH had approved 14 projects using body parts from aborted babies .
The good news is that President Trump created a ‘ Human Fetal Tissue Research Ethics Advisory Board ’ which stopped funding to 13 out of the 14 NIH projects .

How could there be anything ethical about the use of aborted human fetal tissue ?
What kind of an ethical screening would allow any of them to go through ?

Biden Campaign Apologizes Privately to America-Hating Anti-Semite Linda Sarsour for Condemning Her Publicly

Joe Biden ’ s presidential campaign privately apologized to radical left-wing activist Linda Sarsour after publicly condemning her extreme anti-Israel views last week .
Sarsour is a leader of the Boycott , Divestment , and Sanctions ( BDS ) movement , which singles out Israel for isolation .
