thelibertydaily--2020-05-09--Democrat Ilhan Omar Claimed to Help Food Bank, Deletes Tweet When Called Out as a Fraud by Director

Representative Ilhan Omar ( D-MN ) may be involved in another questionable campaign finance practice .
She has already been accused of multiple indiscretions that have kept her campaign in the spotlight , and not in a good way .
But this latest one seems to be extra hideous as it involves potentially funneling money away from a local charity .
Her campaign set up an ActBlue fundraising page titled “ Step up to help feed Minnesota ’ s students and families !
” On Facebook and Twitter , she made the following claim to promote the fundraiser : There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , not the least of which is the fact that the Executive Director of GMCC , which administers Minnesota FoodShare , had no idea what Omar was referring to nor where the money was going .
By definition , “ partnering ” generally requires both entities to be aware of the partnership .
Minnesota FoodShare became aware of the so-called partnership days after the posts went up and the donations started coming into Omar ’ s campaign fundraising portal , but they didn ’ t hear anything about it from Omar ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Media noted , Omar deleted the initial Tweet after GMCC Executive Director Adrienne Dorn replied , “ I am the Executive Director of GMCC – Minnesota FoodShare is our program .
Ilhan Omar had nothing to do with this project .
I do not know where this money is going to.
” The Facebook post has been deleted as well .
There are two more interesting aspects to her posts .
ActBlue is the Democrats ’ campaign fundraising platform .
While it ’ s possible Omar was going to accept the money and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s platform , which is powered by MoonClerk , doing so incurs additional fees unnecessarily .
She could have just linked directly to their donation platform .
The bigger point of interest is in the wording of Omar ’ s post .
She says “ I ’ m partnering… ” and “ Chip in $ 5 to power their efforts… ” rather than asking people to donate to the food bank itself .
It ’ s very clever campaign doublespeak that may or may not be legal , but it ’ s definitely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ simply a campaign fundraising ploy .
Unless every penny donated through her campaign finance portal during the time period in question is given to the Minnesota FoodShare immediately , the campaign may have committed campaign finance violations .
An argument can be made that she technically wasn ’ t asking people to donate to the food bank , but the intended understanding of her posts was to assume that donations would go directly to Minnesota FoodShare .
This doesn ’ t pass the smell test and seems like a fraud prima facie .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ link to the food bank ?
Why did the Executive Director of the charity she allegedly “ partnered ” with have no idea what she was doing ?

Update: We discuss this story in-depth and what has happened since it broke on the NOQ Report Podcast.
Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) may be involved in another questionable campaign finance practice. She has already been accused of multiple indiscretions that have kept her campaign in the spotlight, and not in a good way. But this latest one seems to be extra hideous as it involves potentially funneling money away from a local charity.
Her campaign set up an ActBlue fundraising page titled “Step up to help feed Minnesota’s students and families!” On Facebook and Twitter, she made the following claim to promote the fundraiser:
“As Minnesotans struggle with hunger, I’m partnering with @MNFoodShare and other local groups that pack and deliver meals to students and families. Chip in $5 today to power their efforts to keep our communities fed! #GivingTuesdayNow #GiveAtHomeMN”
There are a few problems with this claim, not the least of which is the fact that the Executive Director of GMCC, which administers Minnesota FoodShare, had no idea what Omar was referring to nor where the money was going. By definition, “partnering” generally requires both entities to be aware of the partnership. Minnesota FoodShare became aware of the so-called partnership days after the posts went up and the donations started coming into Omar’s campaign fundraising portal, but they didn’t hear anything about it from Omar’s campaign.
As David Steinberg at PJ Media noted, Omar deleted the initial Tweet after GMCC Executive Director Adrienne Dorn replied, “I am the Executive Director of GMCC – Minnesota FoodShare is our program. Ilhan Omar had nothing to do with this project. I do not know where this money is going to.”
The Facebook post has been deleted as well.
Yet another @IlhanMN campaign finance problem:@IlhanMN posted this tweet on Tuesday, then deleted it at some point after it received this reply. pic.twitter.com/S9kS6JqiWZ — David Steinberg (@realDSteinberg) May 8, 2020
There are two more interesting aspects to her posts. ActBlue is the Democrats’ campaign fundraising platform. While it’s possible Omar was going to accept the money and then donate it to Minnesota FoodShare’s platform, which is powered by MoonClerk, doing so incurs additional fees unnecessarily. She could have just linked directly to their donation platform.
The bigger point of interest is in the wording of Omar’s post. She says “I’m partnering…” and “Chip in $5 to power their efforts…” rather than asking people to donate to the food bank itself. It’s very clever campaign doublespeak that may or may not be legal, but it’s definitely unethical if this was, indeed, simply a campaign fundraising ploy.
Unless every penny donated through her campaign finance portal during the time period in question is given to the Minnesota FoodShare immediately, the campaign may have committed campaign finance violations. An argument can be made that she technically wasn’t asking people to donate to the food bank, but the intended understanding of her posts was to assume that donations would go directly to Minnesota FoodShare.
This doesn’t pass the smell test and seems like a fraud prima facie.

Why didn’t Ilhan Omar just link to the food bank? Why did the Executive Director of the charity she allegedly “partnered” with have no idea what she was doing? Why did she immediately delete the posts? The Congresswoman has some explaining to do.

Dirty Dozen: The 12 Revelations That Sunk Deep State Kingpin Robert Mueller’s Case Against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn

Shortly after my colleague Sara Carter and I began reporting in 2017 on the possibility that the FBI was abusing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to spy on Americans during the Russia investigation , I received a call .
It was an intermediary for someone high up in the intelligence community .
The story that source told me that day — initially I feared it may have been too spectacular to be true — was that FBI line agents had actually cleared former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn of any wrongdoing with Russia only to have the bureau 's leadership @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he lied during a subsequent interview .
In fact , my notes show , the source used the words `` concoct a 1001 false statements case '' to describe the objections of career agents who did not believe Flynn had intended to deceive the FBI .
A leak of a transcript of Flynn 's call with the Russian ambassador was just part of a campaign , the source alleged .
The tip resulted in a two-and-a-half-year journey by myself and a small group of curious and determined journalists like Carter , Catherine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Lee Smith , Byron York , and Kimberly Strassel to slowly peel back the onion .
The pursuit of the truth ended Thursday when the Justice Department formally asked a court to vacate Flynn 's conviction and end the criminal case , acknowledging the former general had indeed been cleared by FBI agents and that the bureau did not have a lawful purpose when it interviewed him in January 2017 .
Attorney General William Barr put it more bluntly in an interview Thursday : `` They kept it open for the express @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lay a perjury trap for General Flynn . ''
To understand just how dramatic a turnaround Thursday 's action was , one has to go back to the headlines of 2017 fanned by the likes of The Washington Post , The New York Times , MSNBC , CNN and others and told by a host of former Obama administration officials and their Democratic allies in Congress .
Flynn was suspected of violating the Logan Act by talking with the Russian ambassador .
He may have been compromised by a 2015 visit with Vladimir @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He lied to the FBI .
He may have been an agent of Russia and involved in colluding to hijack the election .
He betrayed his country .
All of that was alleged , it turns out , without proof .
And then Special Counsel Robert Mueller 's team pressured Flynn to plead guilty to falsely telling FBI agents that he did not discuss sanctions with Russia 's ambassador .
It turns out that was n't true either .
A draft FBI report of the interview made public this week showed Flynn did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was a possibility he did discuss sanctions and Russia 's response to them .
Here are the 12 revelations that unraveled the false narrative and Mueller 's prosecution of a 33-year military veteran : 1 .
Flynn 's RT visit with Putin was n't nefarious .
In fact , it was cleared by his former employer , the Defense Intelligence Agency , and he received a defensive briefing before he went to Russia and debriefed with U.S. intelligence after he returned .

https : //justthenews.com/accountability/russia-and-ukraine-scandals/fbi-found-no-derogatory-russia-evidence-flynn-planned 4 .
DOJ heartburn .
Senior Justice officials expressed concern and alarm at the way the FBI was treating Flynn , including trying to interview him without the normally required notification to the Trump White House .

Logan Act threat was n't real .
DOJ officials immediately did not believe Flynn could realistically be prosecuted under the Logan Act for his conversations with the Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak .
Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe testified he was told such a prosecution was a `` long shot , '' and former Assistant Attorney General Mary McCord `` said that upon learning of Flynn ’ s phone calls with Ambassador Kislyak , a Logan Act prosecution seemed like a stretch to her , ” DOJ memos say .
https @ @ @ @ @ @ @ James Comey bragged in a videotaped interview that he authorized the FBI to try to conduct a Flynn interview without the proper notifications and protocol , hoping to catch Flynn and the new Trump White House off guard .
In other words , they did n't follow procedure or treat Flynn like others when it came to due process .
Comey said the tactic was `` something I probably would n't have done or maybe gotten away with in a more organized administration . ''

The FBI agents who interviewed Flynn , including Peter Strzok , did not believe Flynn intended to lie or be deceptive in his interview .

The FBI agents who interviewed Flynn indicated in a draft report that Flynn did not directly deny talking to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accused by Mueller .
Instead they noted he could n't remember , was n't sure and even conceded it was possible .
Here 's a direct quote from the draft interview memo .

According to evidence DOJ disclosed this month , FBI officials subsequently edited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Strzok and fellow special agent Joe Pientka interviewed the Trump adviser , Pientka wrote the original interview report , known as a 302 , then Strzok heavily edited it , so much so that he worried he was “ trying not to completely re-write ” the memo .
Then FBI lawyer Lisa Page , who neither attended the interview nor is an agent , edited it again , according to the DOJ evidence .
And then that version of the 302 was never given to the court .
Instead , a substitute summary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presented as official evidence , an act current and former FBI officials told me was extraordinarily unusual .

Evidence withheld .
The biggest , and perhaps most troubling discovery , according to DOJ officials and Flynn 's lawyers , was the majority of the above evidence was withheld from the courts and Flynn 's legal team for years despite repeated orders that all exculpatory Brady materials , i.e .
evidence of innocence , be produced .
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan must still decide whether to accept @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the charges .
And then the judge must decide whether the prosecutors and agents in the case should face punishment .
In the meantime , Flynn lost three years of his life , his job , and his home and endured crushing legal bills and public shame .
That what makes this dirty dozen list so egregious to critics of this investigation .

Shortly after my colleague Sara Carter and I began reporting in 2017 on the possibility that the FBI was abusing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to spy on Americans during the Russia investigation, I received a call. It was an intermediary for someone high up in the intelligence community.
The story that source told me that day — initially I feared it may have been too spectacular to be true — was that FBI line agents had actually cleared former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn of any wrongdoing with Russia only to have the bureau's leadership hijack the process to build a case that he lied during a subsequent interview.
In fact, my notes show, the source used the words "concoct a 1001 false statements case" to describe the objections of career agents who did not believe Flynn had intended to deceive the FBI. A leak of a transcript of Flynn's call with the Russian ambassador was just part of a campaign, the source alleged.
The tip resulted in a two-and-a-half-year journey by myself and a small group of curious and determined journalists like Carter, Catherine Herridge, Greg Jarrett, Mollie Hemingway, Lee Smith, Byron York, and Kimberly Strassel to slowly peel back the onion.
The pursuit of the truth ended Thursday when the Justice Department formally asked a court to vacate Flynn's conviction and end the criminal case, acknowledging the former general had indeed been cleared by FBI agents and that the bureau did not have a lawful purpose when it interviewed him in January 2017.

Flynn was suspected of violating the Logan Act by talking with the Russian ambassador. He may have been compromised by a 2015 visit with Vladimir Putin at a Russia Today event. He lied to the FBI. He may have been an agent of Russia and involved in colluding to hijack the election. He betrayed his country.
All of that was alleged, it turns out, without proof. And then Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team pressured Flynn to plead guilty to falsely telling FBI agents that he did not discuss sanctions with Russia's ambassador. It turns out that wasn't true either.
A draft FBI report of the interview made public this week showed Flynn didn't deny it and instead suggested it was a possibility he did discuss sanctions and Russia's response to them.

6. Unequal treatment.

11.) Interview Reports Edited. According to evidence DOJ disclosed this month, FBI officials subsequently edited the original Flynn interview report. After Strzok and fellow special agent Joe Pientka interviewed the Trump adviser, Pientka wrote the original interview report, known as a 302, then Strzok heavily edited it, so much so that he worried he was “trying not to completely re-write” the memo. Then FBI lawyer Lisa Page, who neither attended the interview nor is an agent, edited it again, according to the DOJ evidence. And then that version of the 302 was never given to the court.

12.) Evidence withheld. The biggest, and perhaps most troubling discovery, according to DOJ officials and Flynn's lawyers, was the majority of the above evidence was withheld from the courts and Flynn's legal team for years despite repeated orders that all exculpatory Brady materials, i.e. evidence of innocence, be produced.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan must still decide whether to accept the Justice Department's request to dismiss the charges. And then the judge must decide whether the prosecutors and agents in the case should face punishment.
In the meantime, Flynn lost three years of his life, his job, and his home and endured crushing legal bills and public shame. That what makes this dirty dozen list so egregious to critics of this investigation.

Around 1.4 million people are expected to die from untreated TB infections due to the coronavirus lockdown , according to research published by Imperial College London and Johns Hopkins University .
“ Up to 6.3 million more people are predicted to develop TB between now and 2025 and 1.4 million more people are expected to die as cases go undiagnosed and untreated during lockdown , ” reports the Guardian .

The families of four people who died from COVID-19 are suing EcoHealth alliance, the New York-based nonprofit that was conducting gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China, before COVID-19 broke out across town.
According to the Aug. 2 lawsuit filed before the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan, EcoHealth and its president, Peter Daszak, knew the virus was “capable of causing a worldwide pandemic.”
Not only did EcoHealth help to create a ‘genetically manipulated virus,’ the lawsuit claims, it worked to cover up the origins of the outbreak.
“If we had known the source or origin of this virus and had not been misled that it was from a pangolin in a wet market, and rather we knew that it was a genetically manipulated virus, and that the scientists involved were concealing that from our clients, the outcome could have been very different,” victims’ attorney Patricia Finn told the NY Post.
The families of Mary Conroy, of Pennsylvania; Emma D. Holley, of Rochester, NY; Larry Carr, of Crossville, Tennessee; and Raul Osuna, of Bennington, Nebraska, are seeking unspecified damages. “[The families of the deceased] are definitely in mourning, but moreover they’re enraged because the truth of what really happened appears to be coming forward,” Finn added. Paul Rinker, of Pennsylvania, is also suing Midtown-based EcoHealth and Daszak over the “serious injuries” he suffered from his bout with the bug.
Finn is also suing EcoHealth and Daszak in Nassau and Rockland Counties on behalf of the families of other victims killed by the virus, as well as two who survived.
“This particular case is highly offensive because it appears they knew and concealed the origin of the virus,” said Finn, adding “The treatment or approach taken in dealing with the virus could have been radically different than it was.”
Fauci is simply lying here. Zheng-Li Shi's lab at the WIV and EcoHealth Alliance (which administered NIH subawards to Zheng-Li Shi's lab) were absolutely manipulating viruses (using NIAID funds) in order to see which mutations would make them more dangerous to humans. https://t.co/2MD0oM4sWh — Justin B. Kinney (@jbkinney) August 12, 2023
EcoHealth notably received a re-activated grant from the NIH for over $576,000 in May to study how outbreaks of deadly viruses like SARS, MERS, and now COVID-19 originate from wildlife and transfers to humans, despite failing to meet the NIH’s conditions for reinstatement.
As the Epoch Times noted;
The grant, titled “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” was originally awarded in 2014 by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Under the terms of the grant, EcoHealth Alliance, a government-funded nonprofit that purportedly engages in research to prevent pandemics, was awarded $3.8 million over five years to assess the spillover potential of bat viruses “using reverse genetics, pseudovirus and receptor binding assays, and virus infection experiments in cell culture and humanized mice.” Put in simple terms, NIAID was paying EcoHealth to genetically engineer and manipulate bat viruses in labs.
In May 2016, the grant was suspended after Erik Stemmy, a NIAID program officer, noticed that federal government funds may have been used for prohibited gain-of-function experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China. At the time, the Obama administration had put in place a moratorium on gain-of-function experiments. However, for reasons that remain unclear, the suspension was lifted in July 2016. At the time, EcoHealth’s president, Peter Daszak, thanked NIAID in an email for lifting the gain-of-function funding pause.
As part of the conditions of the grant, EcoHealth had to file regular activity reports. However, starting in 2018, EcoHealth stopped submitting these reports. EcoHealth would later blame technical difficulties for their failure to submit. The missing reports comprised the critical 2018–2019 timeframe right before the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan.
* * *
More:
In 2014, the Obama administration temporarily suspended federal funding for gain-of-function research into manipulating bat COVID to be more transmissible to humans. Four months prior to that decision, the NIH effectively shifted this research to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) to EcoHealth, headed by Peter Daszak.
Notably, the WIV “had openly participated in gain-of-function research in partnership with U.S. universities and institutions” for years under the leadership of Dr. Shi ‘Batwoman’ Zhengli, according to the Washington Post‘s Josh Rogin.
Yet, after Sars-CoV-2 broke out in the same town where Daszak was manipulating Bat Covid, The Lancet published a screed by Daszak (signed by over two-dozen scientists), which insisted the virus could have only come from a natural spillover event, likely from a wet market, and that the scientists “stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.” The Lancet only later noted Daszak’s conflicts of interest.
Meanwhile, as we noted late last year, a Senate Committee on Health Education, Labor and Pensions interim report from October 27, 2022 titled “An Analysis of the Origins of the COVID19 Pandemic” concluded that the origins of Covid were more likely based in a lab as part of a “research related incident” and not zoonotic.
The report was the result of a “bipartisan Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee oversight effort into the origins of SARS-CoV-2”. It provides a lengthy analysis that reviews “publicly available, open-source information to examine the two prevailing theories of origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus”.
Insanity…

Rep. Adam Schiff has been squealing a lot lately, bellyaching about the Justice Department dropping the case against Michael Flynn and, miraculously, standing by those House Intelligence Committee interview transcripts, insisting to this day they “richly detail evidence of the Trump campaign’s efforts to invite, make use of, and cover up Russia’s help in the 2016 presidential election,” when even James Clapper said he saw no direct empirical evidence of the sort.
Bloomberg Opinion’s Eli Lake has been reading through the transcripts and says it’s obvious why the Republicans on the Intelligence Committee called for Schiff to step down as chairman.
I’ve been going through the interview transcripts that ODNI forced @AdamSchiff to release. It’s now clear why every Republican on his committee in 2019 called for his resignation. He knew the closed door witnesses didn’t support his innuendo and fakery on Russia collusion. — Eli Lake (@EliLake) May 9, 2020
“Innuendo and fakery” is kind.
Schiff straight up lied to every journalist and media outlet he spoke to about this for two years. You’d think they’d be a little pissed off that he did that and made them look foolish, but apparently not… https://t.co/aVKSfyr9zS — James Hasson (@JamesHasson20) May 9, 2020

I don't understand why committing perjury to the highest lawmaking body in our country, intentionally lying to the citizens, and working to enact a coup from the floor of the House is "protected."

I think Schiff is protected from a lawsuit by Trump for slander. But there's no way Schiff is protected for treason. It's an abomination that he is still walking around free.

I'm sure @Maddow will do a deep dive into these transcripts. — Proud Deplorable (@HKirsh1) May 9, 2020
Why is there no ethics investigation of this man? I guess it’s naive to think that a representative lying and lying to Americans for years about something this serious would be considered unethical or damaging to the institution. — KazMo (@Kazmo70) May 9, 2020
Will the cable news networks that were duped by Schiff keep having him on, or will they try to ignore him now to pretend they never gave him airtime to lie about his irrefutable “evidence”? You’d think CNN would be embarrassed.

Arizona College Demands Professor for Courageously Telling the Truth About the Violent Death Cult Known as Islam

” He has taught Scottsdale Community College ’ s World Politics for each of the 24 years he has worked at the school .
Professor Damask ’ s troubles began during the current Spring semester , when a student took exception to three quiz questions .
The questions were : • QUESTION : Who do terrorists strive to emulate ?
• QUESTION : Where is terrorism encouraged in Islamic doctrine and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ i.e.
, the portion of the Qur ’ an traditionally understood as having been revealed later in Muhammad ’ s prophetic career ] • QUESTION : Terrorism is _______ in Islam .
ANSWER : Justified within the context of jihad .
Damask explained : “ All quiz questions on each of my quizzes , including the ones in question here , are carefully sourced to the reading material .
On this quiz , questions were sourced to the Qur ’ an , the hadiths , and the sira ( biography ) of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” And indeed , the three questions reflect basic facts that are readily established by reference to Islamic texts and teachings and numerous statements of terrorists themselves .
Despite this , the student emailed Damask to complain that he was “ offended ” by these questions , as they were “ in distaste of Islam.
” Damask recounted .
Damask sent two lengthy emails to the student responding to his complaints , but to no avail .
A social media campaign began against Damask on the College ’ s Instagram account .
Damask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about a school contest was hijacked , with supporters of the student posting angry , threatening , inflammatory and derogatory messages about the quiz , the school , and myself.
” At this point , College officials should have defended Professor Damask and the principle of free inquiry , but that would require a sane academic environment .
Scottsdale Community College officials , Damask said , “ stepped in to assert on a new Instagram post that the student was correct and that I was wrong – with no due process and actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he would receive full credit for all the quiz questions related to Islam and terrorism.
” On May 1 , Damask had a conference call with Iudicello and Eric Sells , the College ’ s Public Relations Marketing Manager .
Damask recalls : “ I was not offered to write any part of the school ’ s response , and there was no discussion of academic freedom or whether the College was even supportive of me to teach about Islamic terrorism .
The very first point I made with them on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I had ) is that I insisted that the College ’ s release was to have no mention of any actions to be required to be taken by me personally , I was veryclear about that.
” Predictably , Iudicello and Sells ignored that .
They issued an apology to the student and to the “ Islamic community , ” and stated on the College ’ s Instagram page that Damask would be “ required ” to apologize to the student for the quiz questions , as the questions were “ inappropriate ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be permanently removed from Damask ’ s exams .
Damask also had three phone calls with Kathleen Iudicello , Scottsdale Community College ’ s Dean of Instruction , who gave him a bracing introduction into today ’ s academic funhouse world , where if someone is offended by the truth , it ’ s the truth that has to be deep-sixed .
“ During one call with Iudicello , ” Damask recounts , “ she stated that my quiz questions were ‘ Islamophobic , ’ that before continuing to have any further class @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to meet with an Islamic religious leader to go over the content , and that I would likely need to take a class ( perhaps at Arizona State ) taught by a Muslim before teaching about Islamic terrorism.
” “ The irony here , ” says Damask , “ is that literally during this phone call , I and my wife were tossing socks and jammies and our nine-year-old grandson ’ s toys into a suitcase to get the hell out of the house because of the death threats made by Islamic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ page.
” College officials took no public notice of the fact , but the posts on its Instagram page discussing the incident had begun to fill up with threats against Damask , including these statements : “ if he is still around I suggest the students take action to make sure he isn ’ t ” ; “ drop the professor ’ s address I just wan na talk ” ; “ what ’ s the instructor ’ s name and address , I just want to say ‘ hi ’ ” ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kuffar ” [ unbelievers ] ; “ I hope he suffers.
” According to Damask , “ there are literally hundreds of posts like this .
There have been death threats , at least one call for a school shooting , and at least one call to burn down the school .
Again , all of these threats are still on the College ’ s Instagram page.
” When he asked school police to shut down the social media posts in light of these threats , they told him the posts were being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taken down .
On Sunday night , the school sent Damask the apology that he was to make to the offended student .
It is full of the expected embarrassing groveling : “ I know , ” Damask is supposed to inform the student , “ a simple apology may not be enough to address the harm that I caused but I want to try to make amends.
” He promises the student : “ I will be reviewing all of my material to ensure there ’ s no additional insensitivities.
” ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bothered to internalize basic rules of grammar . )
“ It goes without saying , ” says Damask , “ that I will not apologize for anything , that it is perfectly appropriate to discuss Islam , Muhammad , the Quran , the hadiths and any other matter related to Islamic terrorism .
Incidentally : there has been no official complaint , no due process for me , just a mad scramble by the school to appease Islam.
” YourValley Since the public apology was posted online , the school ’ s social @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
On Facebook , user Abdelhay Ala ’ a states the issue is not simply about these three quiz questions .
“ The quiz is based on a class that teaches Islamic Terrorism , which the slides for are available online , ” Ms. Ala ’ a wrote .
“ Removing three questions will do absolutely nothing as the class still propagates hateful information .
To associate terrorism to Islam out of the exclusion of everything else , is to pose a threat to the Muslim community .
Your students will grow to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may take a vengeful stance – all out of spreading misinformation .
If you want to do your research well visit your local mosques , speak to different sheikhs , visit different communities , pick up the Quran , learn Arabic , do a thorough research.
” Other comments called for disciplinary action against the professor .

On this quiz, questions were sourced to the Qur’an, the hadiths, and the sira (biography) of Mohammed, and other reputable source material.” And indeed, the three questions reflect basic facts that are readily established by reference to Islamic texts and teachings and numerous statements of terrorists themselves.
Despite this, the student emailed Damask to complain that he was “offended” by these questions, as they were “in distaste of Islam.” Damask recounted.
Damask sent two lengthy emails to the student responding to his complaints, but to no avail. A social media campaign began against Damask on the College’s Instagram account . Damask notes: “An unrelated school post about a school contest was hijacked, with supporters of the student posting angry, threatening, inflammatory and derogatory messages about the quiz, the school, and myself.”
At this point, College officials should have defended Professor Damask and the principle of free inquiry, but that would require a sane academic environment. Scottsdale Community College officials, Damask said, “stepped in to assert on a new Instagram post that the student was correct and that I was wrong – with no due process and actually no complaint even being filed – and that he would receive full credit for all the quiz questions related to Islam and terrorism.”
On May 1, Damask had a conference call with Iudicello and Eric Sells, the College’s Public Relations Marketing Manager. Damask recalls: “I was not offered to write any part of the school’s response, and there was no discussion of academic freedom or whether the College was even supportive of me to teach about Islamic terrorism. The very first point I made with them on the call (and virtually the only input I had) is that I insisted that the College’s release was to have no mention of any actions to be required to be taken by me personally, I was veryclear about that.”
Predictably, Iudicello and Sells ignored that. They issued an apology to the student and to the “Islamic community,” and stated on the College’s Instagram page that Damask would be “required” to apologize to the student for the quiz questions, as the questions were “inappropriate” and “inaccurate,” and would be permanently removed from Damask’s exams.
Damask also had three phone calls with Kathleen Iudicello, Scottsdale Community College’s Dean of Instruction, who gave him a bracing introduction into today’s academic funhouse world, where if someone is offended by the truth, it’s the truth that has to be deep-sixed. “During one call with Iudicello,” Damask recounts, “she stated that my quiz questions were ‘Islamophobic,’ that before continuing to have any further class content on Islamic terrorism I would likely need to meet with an Islamic religious leader to go over the content, and that I would likely need to take a class (perhaps at Arizona State) taught by a Muslim before teaching about Islamic terrorism.”
“The irony here,” says Damask, “is that literally during this phone call, I and my wife were tossing socks and jammies and our nine-year-old grandson’s toys into a suitcase to get the hell out of the house because of the death threats made by Islamic commenters on the College’s Instagram page.”
College officials took no public notice of the fact, but the posts on its Instagram page discussing the incident had begun to fill up with threats against Damask, including these statements: “if he is still around I suggest the students take action to make sure he isn’t”; “drop the professor’s address I just wanna talk”; “what’s the instructor’s name and address, I just want to say ‘hi’”; “I wish everything bad on these kuffar” [unbelievers]; “I hope he suffers.”
According to Damask, “there are literally hundreds of posts like this. There have been death threats, at least one call for a school shooting, and at least one call to burn down the school. Again, all of these threats are still on the College’s Instagram page.” When he asked school police to shut down the social media posts in light of these threats, they told him the posts were being monitored. Yet the threats were not taken down.
On Sunday night, the school sent Damask the apology that he was to make to the offended student. It is full of the expected embarrassing groveling: “I know,” Damask is supposed to inform the student, “a simple apology may not be enough to address the harm that I caused but I want to try to make amends.” He promises the student: “I will be reviewing all of my material to ensure there’s no additional insensitivities.” (Apparently politically correct academics cannot be bothered to internalize basic rules of grammar.)
“It goes without saying,” says Damask, “that I will not apologize for anything, that it is perfectly appropriate to discuss Islam, Muhammad, the Quran, the hadiths and any other matter related to Islamic terrorism. Incidentally: there has been no official complaint, no due process for me, just a mad scramble by the school to appease Islam.”
YourValley Since the public apology was posted online, the school’s social media pages have gained several unhappy comments.
On Facebook, user Abdelhay Ala’a states the issue is not simply about these three quiz questions. “The quiz is based on a class that teaches Islamic Terrorism, which the slides for are available online,” Ms. Ala’a wrote.
“Removing three questions will do absolutely nothing as the class still propagates hateful information. To associate terrorism to Islam out of the exclusion of everything else, is to pose a threat to the Muslim community. Your students will grow to hate, fear and avoid us and may take a vengeful stance – all out of spreading misinformation. If you want to do your research well visit your local mosques, speak to different sheikhs, visit different communities, pick up the Quran, learn Arabic, do a thorough research.”

Georgia police now investigating third person in shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery 'We 're going to go wherever the evidence @ @ @

Georgia investigators confirmed Friday that they are investigating a third person in the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery.
Arbery was gunned down on Feb. 23 after being chased by Gregory McMichael, 64, and Travis McMichael, 34. According to the Glynn County police report, the McMichaels said they chased down Arbery because they thought he was responsible for a string of recent burglaries in the area, alleged crimes that never actually happened.
Arbery was on a routine jog when the McMichaels confronted him. Video of the incident, showing Arbery's graphic death, went viral this week, triggering national outcry over what is being described as a "vigilante killing."
The McMichaels were arrested on Thursday and charged with felony murder and aggravated assault.
However, on Friday, Vic Reynolds, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, said a neighbor of the McMichaels — William Bryan — is also under investigation, NBC News reported.
"We're going to go wherever the evidence takes us," Reynolds said. "Let's say, hypothetically, if we believe tomorrow or in a week or three weeks there's probable cause for an arrest, then we'll do it. If we don't believe there is, then we won't."
According to NBC News, Bryan is responsible for filming the video of the shooting, which Reynolds called a "very important piece of evidence."
Arbery's family is calling for Bryan's arrest, USA Today reported. It was not immediately clear what role, if any, Bryan played in the alleged crimes.

We are blessed to have him join us today on the NOQ Report.
One of the key points he made—and there were many in this half-hour interview—is that herd immunity combined with better understanding of how the coronavirus works will likely make the anticipated second wave less severe than this first one. He continues to advocate responsible behaviors such as proper hand-washing and social distancing while still calling for the nation to open up for business. Most of us can go back to our normal day-to-day lives immediately if state and local governments would act properly.
Another important takeaway from this interview is that Dr. Samadi noted there isn’t enough attention being paid to the negative effects to our health that the lockdown is creating. Suicide, domestic abuse, depression, and other side-effects of being forced to stay-at-home means we need to have a serious risk-benefit assessment. The longer we remain locked down, the more likely it is the damage that’s being done by the lockdown is greater than the damage the coronavirus would do if we opened back up for business.
