thelibertydaily--2020-11-23--Has There Been a ‘Plot Against the President’?

As if 2020 couldn ’ t get any scarier , or more bizarre , there is an increasing body of credible evidence of voter fraud in the recent U.S. election .
As if 2020 couldn ’ t get any scarier , or more bizarre , there is an increasing body of credible evidence of voter fraud in the recent U.S. election .
But could it be a symptom of an even more malevolent reality of historical—and systemic—political corruption ?
That ’ s the question that is explored in the excellent documentary , The Plot Against the President .
The Plot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Vimeo .
Even though a friend I respect had repeatedly recommended that I watch this particular video , it took me a couple of months to finally view it .
To be honest , I was reluctant because it seemed like one of those far-fetched conspiracy theories .
But then I had to remember that it was the WHO ’ s Director-General , Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus who said back in March that “ stigma is more dangerous than the virus itself … stigma is the most dangerous enemy ” .
By the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republicans are the only ones who are concerned about election fraud , then you might want to take a look at this tweet by Nancy Pelosi from 2017 : What ’ s more , there are anomalies in voter turnout—which included many who were even deceased !
—that the 2020 election looks decidedly fishy .
For example , Rasmussen Reports , an independent electronic media company specializing in the collection and publication of public opinion polling information since 2003 , recently tweeted : The Plot Against the President makes for compelling viewing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s election in 2016 , the Democrats have done everything they can to delegitimise his Presidency , as well as prosecute anyone who seeks to uncover the truth of what they were doing .
And whether or not they will succeed in winning the 2020 election is yet to be seen .

What’s more, there are anomalies in voter turnout—which included many who were even deceased!—that the 2020 election looks decidedly fishy. For example, Rasmussen Reports, an independent electronic media company specializing in the collection and publication of public opinion polling information since 2003, recently tweeted:

The Plot Against the President makes for compelling viewing, detailing how even before Donald Trump’s election in 2016, the Democrats have done everything they can to delegitimise his Presidency, as well as prosecute anyone who seeks to uncover the truth of what they were doing. And whether or not they will succeed in winning the 2020 election is yet to be seen. Either way, this is a must-watch for understanding the political machinations currently at play.

The Apple Cup, the rivalry between the University of Washington and Washington State University, will not be played due to COVID-19 complications affecting the Cougars’ football team, the Pac-12 Conference announced.
The Apple Cup has been played every year since 1944.
The Pac-12 sent out a statement regarding the game, which was supposed to be played the day after Thanksgiving in Pullman.
Read the statement the Pac-12 Conference sent out in a tweet:
Jennifer Cohen, UW’s director of athletics, said Sunday:
“This is so disappointing for our players, coaches and staff, as well as Husky Nation as we were all looking forward to the Boeing Apple Cup this week. This is one of the best rivalries in college sports and every year we circle this game at the start of the season. We will work with Pac-12 to prioritize this game and look into any opportunities to play it should there be an open date for both schools down the road. We also understand that the Pac-12, in conjunction with local and state officials, developed policies that placed the health and safety of students, coaches and staff as the top priority. We want to provide an opportunity for our football program to compete this weekend and are working to find another opponent.”
Pat Chun, Washington State University’s director of athletics, sent out a statement saying:
“After assessing the overall status of our football program, we remain under the minimum threshold of 53 available scholarship student-athletes and cannot forecast a scenario that allows us to reach that threshold by the end of the week. Earlier today I communicated with President Schulz, Commissioner Scott and Washington Director of Athletics Jen Cohen our current situation. While this is another heartbreaking week for our football program, the health, safety and wellness of our student-athletes, coaches and staff remains our top priority. The Boeing Apple Cup is one of the most sacred rivalries in all of sports and one of the most meaningful days of the year for all Washingtonians. It’s gut-wrenching and disappointing for our student-athletes and coaches as well as those at UW. As we work through the remainder of our schedule, we will continue to communicate with the Pac-12 Conference and UW if any scenario would emerge that would allow us to reschedule the game at a later point in the season.”
Last week, the Pac-12 also canceled a game between Washington State and Stanford because the Cougars did not have the minimum number of scholarship players.
A number of athletes had tested positive for COVID-19 which then resulted in several players being quarantined.

California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly has warned the state “may need to take more stringent actions if we are unable to flatten the curve quickly. Taking these hard, temporary actions now could help prevent future shutdowns.”
According to the Los Angeles Times, the five-day average number of new coronavirus cases in Los Angeles County reached 4,097 on Sunday, exceeding the 5-day average threshold the Department of Public Health noted would result in new public health restrictions.
The department warned Sunday that more restrictions could follow should the five-day average climb: “If the five-day average of cases is 4,500 or more or hospitalizations are more than 2,000 per day, a Targeted Safer at Home Order will be issued for three weeks. The Order would offer additional restrictions while allowing essential and emergency workers and those securing essential services to leave their homes.”

It’s Still Trump’s GOP and Squishes Need Not Apply
Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. I hope somebody got some sleep.
There has been a lot of discussion these past few weeks about what a “post-Trump” Republican Party might look like. I wrote a VIP post a couple of weeks ago saying that I didn’t believe there would be any such thing in the near future no matter who ends up being president next year. That doesn’t, however, mean that there won’t be forces in the GOP who have been on the periphery in the Trump era trying to wrest control of the party away from those who have been playing nice with the president for the last four years.
The radical Never-Trump people have been making noise for several weeks about wanting to return the party to the way it used to be, whatever that means. They are operating under the delusion that a lot of Republicans are waiting around to welcome them back with open arms.
Good luck with that.
Republicans who love Trump’s transformation need to be very vigilant right now. The Never-Trumpers may not be well-liked by mainstream American members of the GOP, but they are still well connected to some old money. If we drop our guard amid all of the pandemic and election chaos, these back-stabbers could make a successful grab at some more power.
The Democrats and the media will be giving these malcontents a lot of publicity and support too. Democrats really do not understand what has happened over on this side of the aisle in the last four years. This is from the post I referenced earlier:
Most Democrats — and I know this from numerous conversations — are under the impression that we over here on the Right will eventually view Trump’s ascendance as something that we’ve had to suffer through. They really are that supremely ignorant and arrogant. They are operating under the collective delusion that, deep in our hearts, Republicans want the Republican Party to be the way that Democrats want the Republican Party to be. A big part of the problem is that the poor dears on the Left spin so much b.s. that they all end up believing their own garbage lies. One of the biggest ones that their media lapdogs repeated throughout the campaign was that there was this massive wave of people who voted for Trump in 2016 who weren’t going to vote for him in 2020. There were maybe fourteen such people in America. The reality was that there were millions of people who didn’t vote for him last time who were willing to do anything to vote for him this year. As of the time I’m writing this, Trump has around 14.1 million more votes than he had in 2016. I don’t know about you, but I’m not getting the “party wants to move on from him” vibe here.
Trump’s stamp on the Republican party is positive all around. The GOP had a better ground game this year. That would have been more apparent had the pandemic not created the month-long mail election. He made inroads with minority voters despite the mainstream media calling him and all of his supports racist every day for four years.
The squish wing of the GOP wants to return to a party that doesn’t listen to the voices in flyover country. They want most decisions to be made over drinks at the Capitol Hill Club by guys who wear red ties to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
If the Republicans let the Bushies control the party again and the Democrats keep learning more and more how to game vote-by-mail, the GOP might never see the White House again.
The party is now reflective of the president’s passion. It doesn’t roll over and play dead for the Democrats in the name of bipartisanship. It’s a party that places more value in fighting than in appearing gentlemanly. It’s a far more functional party than it was four years ago, as evidenced by the fact that the Democrats’ much talked about “Blue Wave” didn’t materialize in the House and Senate races.
Let the Mitt Romney type squishes hang around, but don’t let them get too much power. And make damn sure that the Never-Trumpers don’t sneak in the back door while we’re distracted by COVID and the election mess.
If any of that happens, you can stick a fork in the party because it will be done.

thelibertydaily--2020-11-23--California Hispanics Shock Democrats by Opposing Affirmative Action Referendum

Proposition 16 in California , which would have allowed “ diversity ” to be a factor in hiring and school admissions , went down in flames on Election Day , largely because several majority-Hispanic counties voted against it .
It wasn ’ t even close .
While pro-affirmative action groups and every major Democratic organization in the state backed the measure and supporters outspent opponents $ 20 million to $ 1.5 million , the measure still lost by 14 points .
It was a shocking defeat , especially since all the major Hispanic groups backed the measure .
But something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aboard the diversity train ; it had already left the station long ago .
Hispanics in California are a political and economic force to be reckoned with .
And their growing numbers have allowed them to flex those muscles — without the benefit of government quota systems .
It is noteworthy that despite every major Latino organization promoting Prop 16 , every single majority-Hispanic county voted against it .
That might be because there has been a significant rise in the number of Hispanics attending the University of California system without the benefit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accounting for 34 percent of all UC admissions in 2019 , up from 14 percent in 1996 .
Hispanics constitute some 39 percent of California ’ s population , and represented more than half of all high school graduates in 2018 .
Consequently , the group remains underrepresented in the university system , but they have clearly made significant progress .
Along with Asians , Hispanics voted down the affirmative action measure because they just don ’ t need it .

He believed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for quotas , as well as for government-mandated racial indoctrination and punitive , race-based payments extracted from taxpayers.

Proposition 16 in California, which would have allowed “diversity” to be a factor in hiring and school admissions, went down in flames on Election Day, largely because several majority-Hispanic counties voted against it.

It was a shocking defeat, especially since all the major Hispanic groups backed the measure. But something funny happened on the way to climbing aboard the diversity train; it had already left the station long ago.
Hispanics in California are a political and economic force to be reckoned with. And their growing numbers have allowed them to flex those muscles — without the benefit of government quota systems.
The Hill:
It is noteworthy that despite every major Latino organization promoting Prop 16, every single majority-Hispanic county voted against it. That might be because there has been a significant rise in the number of Hispanics attending the University of California system without the benefit of affirmative action. Records show Latinos accounting for 34 percent of all UC admissions in 2019, up from 14 percent in 1996. Hispanics constitute some 39 percent of California’s population, and represented more than half of all high school graduates in 2018. Consequently, the group remains underrepresented in the university system, but they have clearly made significant progress.
Along with Asians, Hispanics voted down the affirmative action measure because they just don’t need it.
Frank Xu, a Chinese immigrant, was a chief player in the No on Proposition 16 campaign. He explained in an op-ed that, “It is wrong for the government to have the power to favor some of its citizens over some others. I witnessed in China how evil a government could be once it has this kind of power.” He argued that Democratic legislators proposed Prop 16 not to seek diversity but as part of a racial activism program that included, among other things, board quotas for private corporations in California and a study on potential reparations for Black Americans. He believed the backers of affirmative action are “striving for quotas, as well as for government-mandated racial indoctrination and punitive, race-based payments extracted from taxpayers.”
Asians are an immigrant success story and they fear the government taking away what they’ve earned through hard work and perseverance simply because they’re the wrong color. This is driving them away from Democrats. They aren’t Republicans yet. But if the GOP wakes up and grasps the opportunity to attract Asian voters with an opportunity agenda, they may switch.
Perhaps it’s talk like this that angers Asians and Hispanics who have just begun to make strides in the economy because of achievement, not affirmative action.
A Los Angeles Times editorial enthusiastically endorsed the proposal, claiming that America is not a meritocracy, and that dismantling “the racism baked into our institutions” is essential to providing opportunity to people of color. Passing Prop 16, the Times argued, would help.
Advocates of Proposition 16 made all sorts of excuses for why it failed. It never mentioned “affirmative action” in the referendum’s language, or the language was vague. In truth, it was a naked attempt to make race a “factor” in hiring decisions and government policies. If that sounds familiar it’s because that’s the same standard used by colleges and universities in admissions. They claim to use race only as a “one factor” in choosing students when in actuality, it is the single most important determination.
The result in California would have been the same.
Ward Connerly, a former University of California regent and noted civil rights activist, led the fight for passing Proposition 209, which established bans on race-based admissions and hiring in 1996. He helped lead the fight against Proposition 16 and wrote after the victory, “embracing equality, not mapping out racial proportions, is an American value.”
California Hispanics apparently embrace that notion too.


thelibertydaily--2020-11-23--How a Trump Prosecutor Took Down a Third of the Cincinnati City Council

Daniel Greenfield , a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center , is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism .
`` As Donald Trump returns to Cincinnati today , I think it 's important to say in my role as an elected leader for the city that he does not represent our values - not anywhere close .
Indeed , he undermines them daily , '' Councilman P.G .
Sittenfeld tweeted two years ago .
Now , P.G .
Sittenfeld , the leftist mayoral candidate , whose Senate bid had been funded by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on corruption charges .
In some places that might be a shameful distinction , but in Cincinnati it just means a third of the city council has been busted .
Or 40 % of the ‘ Gang of Five ’ , the five Democrats who had illegally colluded on city business via text messaging resulting in $ 101,000 in fines and attorney fees to be paid for by taxpayers .
When Democrat politicians violate the law , it 's the taxpayers who still end up on the hook .
Sittenfeld , a young @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things .
One of his fundraising events was hosted by Bill Burton , Obama 's former deputy press secretary and the co-founder of Priorities USA , the biggest Democrat super PAC formed to support Obama and then Hillary Clinton , Mike McCurry , Bill Clinton 's ex- press secretary , and Tad Devine , Bernie Sanders ’ former top strategist .
During his Senate primary bid , a PAC known as New Leadership for Ohio was formed to support Sittenfeld .
The PAC raised and spent $ 788,104 in 2016 .
Questions were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ English literature professor at the University of Cincinnati donated $ 275,000 to it .
While that was an earlier election , Sittenfeld ’ s current troubles revolve around a corrupt PAC .
Sittenfeld ’ s indictment states that `` Sittenfeld corruptly solicited and received payments to the PAC , controlled by Sittenfeld , all in connection with Project 1 . ''
The PAC is not named in the indictment , but Sittenfeld had allegedly described it as a PAC , “ that my name is not connected to ... basically no one knows @ @ @ @ @ @ @ filings , and no paperwork.
” But he promised that he could `` deliver the votes '' in exchange for contributions to the PAC , and showed voting data to prove that bribers were `` making good bets and good investments . ''
And he was also running for mayor on a platform of equity and justice .
How much did it cost to buy into what Sittenfeld called a “ winning endeavor ” ?
$ 40,000 .
Sittenfeld joins Councilwoman Tamaya Dennard , who pled guilty to wire fraud , after charges @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but vowed to continue fighting for racial justice .
Dennard , who had complained about “ classism ” within the black community , was arrested at a Starbucks before she could lead an “ equity ” meeting .
Dennard had gotten started as an activist with Sittenfeld ’ s campaign , then worked on his staff , including as political director of his Senate campaign , before running for office while wearing an “ unbossed and unbought ” button .
The FBI accused her of taking $ 15,000 from a developer in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really use your help .
It 's kind of urgent to get it today .
Happy to help you .
But need yours too , '' the unbought and unbossed Dennard allegedly texted .
As a member of the Gang of Five , Dennard was also sued by Retired Assistant Police Chief David Bailey for calling him a racist .
Dennard , who had attended Black Lives Matter protests and thrown around terms like ‘ intersectionality ’ , had been one of BLM ’ s backers on the council .
`` Since I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ indicted by a grand jury on public corruption charges related to her attempt to sell her council vote for money , '' the former cop noted .
`` I have come to the conclusion that her words no longer mean anything in the public arena . ''
The third of the trio , Jeff Pastor , is a Republican , by party identification , who had tried Islam , and then Judaism , before announcing that he was a “ polyamorous atheist ” .
Pastor , a supporter of Black Lives Matter congratulated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before his arrest by the FBI .
Some of the $ 55,000 that Pastor allegedly accepted , including bags of cash , was laundered through a non-profit , Ummah Strength .
Ummah , an Islamic term , was in this case apparently used as the basis for a fitness non-profit and development company .
All the scandalous details aside , a third of the Cincinnati City Council has been busted on fairly similar charges and similar crimes in under two years .
What does that say about Cincinnati ?
Cincinnati 's city council @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a Trump pick for U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio , wasted little time in going after crooked politicians since taking office in 2019 .
After taking down Dennard , he brought down Pastor , and now Sittenfeld , accounting for an incredible third of the city ’ s town council .
“ The fact that we had two in one year , that tells you all you need to know , '' DeVillers had said about the city 's culture of corruption .
“ We ’ re going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to make people nervous and stop them from doing this.
” The Democrat majority on the council has to be getting nervous every time they take a bribe .
In Cincinnati , we welcome and actively want immigrants and refugees to live here .
In Cincinnati , we believe climate change is real , '' Sittenfeld had ranted before President Trump 's visit .
`` In Cincinnati , we affirm that Black Lives Matter . ''
But the leftist Democrat , who is running for mayor and was once touted for the Senate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ important thing in Cincinnati .
In Cincinnati , thanks to President Trump , crooked politicians who take bribes now get busted .
DeVillers had advised the Iraqi High Tribunal in its trial of Saddam Hussein , so he 's equipped to tackle political corruption .
And his approach of aggressively pursuing public corruption cases has unquestionably paid off .
And it ’ s in keeping with President Trump ’ s promise to clean up the Democrat machine .
Too many Americans have been abandoned in corrupt cities controlled by crooked politicians who are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and less oversight .
`` I really think we did a disservice by not being aggressive , '' DeVillers told The Cincinnati Enquirer .
`` The idea of taking shots is what we need to do in cases like that .
We do it in murder cases .
We do it in drug cases .
We should do it in public corruption cases . ''
The shakeup of the Cincinnati City Council sends a message that political corruption will no longer be tolerated .
And the fall of a third of the Cincinnati @ @ @ @ @ @ @ measure of the impact that President Trump is having on draining the swamp in America .

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
“As Donald Trump returns to Cincinnati today, I think it’s important to say in my role as an elected leader for the city that he does not represent our values – not anywhere close. Indeed, he undermines them daily,” Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld tweeted two years ago.
Now, P.G. Sittenfeld, the leftist mayoral candidate, whose Senate bid had been funded by Obama and Biden backers, was arrested on corruption charges. In some places that might be a shameful distinction, but in Cincinnati it just means a third of the city council has been busted.
Or 40% of the ‘Gang of Five’, the five Democrats who had illegally colluded on city business via text messaging resulting in $101,000 in fines and attorney fees to be paid for by taxpayers. When Democrat politicians violate the law, it’s the taxpayers who still end up on the hook.
Sittenfeld, a young leftist, was being touted for bigger things. One of his fundraising events was hosted by Bill Burton, Obama’s former deputy press secretary and the co-founder of Priorities USA, the biggest Democrat super PAC formed to support Obama and then Hillary Clinton, Mike McCurry, Bill Clinton’s ex- press secretary, and Tad Devine, Bernie Sanders’ former top strategist.
During his Senate primary bid, a PAC known as New Leadership for Ohio was formed to support Sittenfeld. The PAC raised and spent $788,104 in 2016. Questions were raised at the time, why an English literature professor at the University of Cincinnati donated $275,000 to it. While that was an earlier election, Sittenfeld’s current troubles revolve around a corrupt PAC.
Sittenfeld’s indictment states that “Sittenfeld corruptly solicited and received payments to the PAC, controlled by Sittenfeld, all in connection with Project 1.” The PAC is not named in the indictment, but Sittenfeld had allegedly described it as a PAC, “that my name is not connected to… basically no one knows about it… my name and no filings, and no paperwork.”
But he promised that he could “deliver the votes” in exchange for contributions to the PAC, and showed voting data to prove that bribers were “making good bets and good investments.”
And he was also running for mayor on a platform of equity and justice.
How much did it cost to buy into what Sittenfeld called a “winning endeavor”? $40,000.
Sittenfeld joins Councilwoman Tamaya Dennard, who pled guilty to wire fraud, after charges of bribery and attempted extortion were dropped, but vowed to continue fighting for racial justice.
Dennard, who had complained about “classism” within the black community, was arrested at a Starbucks before she could lead an “equity” meeting. Dennard had gotten started as an activist with Sittenfeld’s campaign, then worked on his staff, including as political director of his Senate campaign, before running for office while wearing an “unbossed and unbought” button.
The FBI accused her of taking $15,000 from a developer in exchange for favors.
“I could really use your help. It’s kind of urgent to get it today. Happy to help you. But need yours too,” the unbought and unbossed Dennard allegedly texted.
As a member of the Gang of Five, Dennard was also sued by Retired Assistant Police Chief David Bailey for calling him a racist. Dennard, who had attended Black Lives Matter protests and thrown around terms like ‘intersectionality’, had been one of BLM’s backers on the council.
“Since I filed it, Ms. Dennard has been indicted by a grand jury on public corruption charges related to her attempt to sell her council vote for money,” the former cop noted. “I have come to the conclusion that her words no longer mean anything in the public arena.”
The third of the trio, Jeff Pastor, is a Republican, by party identification, who had tried Islam, and then Judaism, before announcing that he was a “polyamorous atheist”. Pastor, a supporter of Black Lives Matter congratulated Biden on his “victory” shortly before his arrest by the FBI.
Some of the $55,000 that Pastor allegedly accepted, including bags of cash, was laundered through a non-profit, Ummah Strength. Ummah, an Islamic term, was in this case apparently used as the basis for a fitness non-profit and development company.
All the scandalous details aside, a third of the Cincinnati City Council has been busted on fairly similar charges and similar crimes in under two years. What does that say about Cincinnati?
Cincinnati’s city council is dominated by Democrats. David DeVillers, a Trump pick for U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, wasted little time in going after crooked politicians since taking office in 2019. After taking down Dennard, he brought down Pastor, and now Sittenfeld, accounting for an incredible third of the city’s town council.
“The fact that we had two in one year, that tells you all you need to know,” DeVillers had said about the city’s culture of corruption. “We’re going to prosecute those cases. Our goal is to make people nervous and stop them from doing this.”
The Democrat majority on the council has to be getting nervous every time they take a bribe.
In Cincinnati, we welcome and actively want immigrants and refugees to live here. In Cincinnati, we believe climate change is real,” Sittenfeld had ranted before President Trump’s visit. “In Cincinnati, we affirm that Black Lives Matter.” But the leftist Democrat, who is running for mayor and was once touted for the Senate by Obama allies, forgot the most important thing in Cincinnati.
In Cincinnati, thanks to President Trump, crooked politicians who take bribes now get busted.
DeVillers had advised the Iraqi High Tribunal in its trial of Saddam Hussein, so he’s equipped to tackle political corruption. And his approach of aggressively pursuing public corruption cases has unquestionably paid off. And it’s in keeping with President Trump’s promise to clean up the Democrat machine. Too many Americans have been abandoned in corrupt cities controlled by crooked politicians who are out for themselves and face little competition and less oversight.
“I really think we did a disservice by not being aggressive,” DeVillers told The Cincinnati Enquirer. “The idea of taking shots is what we need to do in cases like that. We do it in murder cases. We do it in drug cases. We should do it in public corruption cases.”
The shakeup of the Cincinnati City Council sends a message that political corruption will no longer be tolerated. And the fall of a third of the Cincinnati City Council is just one small local measure of the impact that President Trump is having on draining the swamp in America.

thelibertydaily--2020-11-23--ABC Fake News Presses Biden Chief of Staff for Investigations of Trump, Administration

After the liberal media spent years accusing the Department of Justice under President Trump of just being a tool for a corrupt president to investigate and prosecute political enemies ( which it never was ) , ABC chief anchor George Stephanopoulos was demanding such of the incoming Biden administration .
During a Sunday interview with Biden Chief of Staff Ron Klain on This Week , the former Clinton lackey pressed his guess on having the Biden DOJ subject Trump and administration officials to investigations .
Stephanopoulos broached the subject by suggesting there was “ tension between getting unity , getting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” and rabid Democratic desirers for “ investigating any wrongdoing that occurred during the Trump administration.
” After noting that President-elect Biden had “ expressed a preference that he does n't want his presidency consumed by Trump investigations , ” Stephanopoulos pushed for Klain to acknowledge the demands of those Democrats : “ How do you balance moving forward with getting accountability , ” the ABC anchor wondered .
Klain tried to defuse the question by saying Biden had made it clear he “ is not going to tell the Justice Department who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Adding : That 's who we saw the past four years .
The President tampering with the Justice Department , egging on investigations , so on and so forth .
He 's going to pick an excellent attorney general , an independent Justice Department .
And that department will make decisions independently free of politics , free of political favor in either direction as to how to enforce the laws .
That 's the way it should be .
That 's the way it 's always been .
That 's the way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to have the kind of rule of law that 's so important in our country .
Unsatisfied with the answer , Stephanopoulos asked Klain to divulge who Biden was thinking about naming as attorney general .
Perhaps that would have given him a clue as to how fervently they would try to pursue Trump and administration officials for prosecution .
Klain wouldn ’ t give up that information and told his host to watch their Tuesday cabinet appointment announcement if he wanted information .
“ I knew you were n't going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was hoping you might me which ones it was , ” Stephanopoulos concluded .
George Stephanopoulos ’ s badgering for politically motivated investigations was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from WeatherTech and Fidelity .
Their contact information is linked so you can tell them about the biased news they fund .

That has raised some concerns among some Democrats , including Congressman Bill Pascrell ( D-NJ ) , who had this to say this week : “ Failure to hold financial and political wrongdoing accountable in the past has invited greater malfeasance by bad actors .
A repeat of those failures in 2021 further emboldens criminality by our national leaders and continues America down the path of lawlessness and authoritarianism .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ you balance moving forward with getting accountability ?
RON KLAIN : Well , let 's be clear , George .
The President-elect spoke about this many times during the campaign .
And what he made clear that Joe Biden is not going to tell the Justice Department who to investigate or who not to investigate .
That 's who we saw the past four years .
The President tampering with the Justice Department , egging on investigations , so on and so forth .
He 's going to pick an excellent attorney general @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that department will make decisions independently free of politics , free of political favor in either direction as to how to enforce the laws .
That 's the way it should be .
That 's the way it 's always been .
That 's the way it needs to be if we 're going to have the kind of rule of law that 's so important in our country .
STEPHANOPOULOS : We going to see an attorney general or State Department or Treasury pick this week ?
KLAIN : Well , what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that you are going to see the first of the President-elect 's cabinet appointments on Tuesday of this week .
Meeting the pace -- Beating , in fact , the pace that was set by the Obama/Biden transition , beating the pace set by the Trump transition .
So , you 're going to see the first cabinet picks this Tuesday .
But if you want to know what cabinet agencies they are , who 's going to be in those cabinet agencies , you 'll have to wait for the President-Elect to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : I knew you were n't going to tell me who it was .
I was hoping you might me which ones it was .
[ Laughter ] But thank you .
We ’ ll be watching on TV .

thelibertydaily--2020-11-23--MSNBC Fake News Desperately Attempts to Defend “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright’s ‘G-D America!’ Rant

`` God damn America !
`` —nuanced , yeah : like a punch in the nose !
When it comes to attempting to explain away the unexplainable , nothing 's more hackneyed than claiming the offensive statement was `` taken out of context . ''
To be sure , Jason Johnson trotted out that cliché while guest-hosting MSNBC 's AM Joy Sunday morning in excusing Rev .
Jeremiah Wright 's infamous screaming `` not God Bless America !
God Damn America ! ''
But give Eddie Glaude credit .
The Princeton prof and frequent MSNBC guest came up with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wright 's damnation of America fail to understand the reverend 's `` theological nuance . ''
Right .
There 's `` nuance '' in Wright saying `` God damn America '' is `` in the Bible . ''
Johnson and Glaude were put in the unenviable position of trying to explain away `` God damn America '' because Raphael Warnock , the Democrat in the Georgia senatorial run-off against Kelly Loeffler , went on national TV and defended Wright and his execrable utterance in 2008 .
And inevitably , the Republicans here calling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not only `` stupid , '' but racist : LOEFFLER CAMPAIGN AD : Raphael Warnock is dangerous .
No wonder he defended this : [ clip of Jeremiah Wright ] `` Not God Bless America .
God d -- - America ! ''
Raphael Warnock : the radical 's radical .
JASON JOHNSON : This is not the first time a pastor has been taken out of context .
Reverend Jeremiah Wright , seen in that ad , was President Obama 's pastor for more than 20 years .
Obama had to renounce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2008 campaign .
WRIGHT : God Bless America ?
No , no , no .
Not God Bless America .
God damn America .
It 's in the Bible !
EDDIE GLAUDE JR. : We know that this [ the criticism of Wright/Warnock ] is a bad-faith misrepresentation of black-liberation theology .
We know there 's no real effort to understand the theological nuance here .
.
.
It 's just stupid racial dog-whistle .
It 's not even a whistle , Jason -- JOHNSON : No , it 's a claxon [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They 're basically saying , he 's black !
He 's black !
That 's an absurd accusation .
If Warnock had been defending a pastor of pallor who made the same despicable statement cursing our country , Loeffler would surely be bringing it to the attention of Georgia voters in a similar way .
MSNBC 's lame attempt to defend Raphael Warnock 's defense of Jeremiah Wright 's infamous `` God damn America '' line was sponsored in part by Liberty Mutual and T-Mobile .
Contact them at the Conservatives Fight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you think of their sponsorship of the defense of Wright 's vile statement .

thelibertydaily--2020-11-23--Democrat Propaganda Site Politico Criticizes Parler for LACK of Censorship

Such is the era we live in that we are now being treated to the absurd spectacle of supposed journalists coming out strongly in favor of censorship .
One such journalist is Politico 's White House reporter Tina Nguyen , who on Sunday castigated the Twitter alternative , Parler , for their lack of censorship .
Nguyen 's outrage at Parler for daring to permit free speech appeared in `` On Parler , MAGA ’ s post-election world view blossoms with no pushback . ''
Since the election , President Donald Trump and his allies have faced fact-checks , condemnation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evidence of voter fraud and leftist violence on social media .
But over on Parler , there ’ s a new , millions-strong MAGA universe where conservatives are freely spreading these claims and reinforcing their belief that Democrats have stolen the election from Trump .
Hashtags on Parler denoting Trump ’ s favorite conspiracy theories — # Dominion , # Sharpiegate , # QAnon — trend freely , without the restrictions Twitter and Facebook have instituted to suppress them .
Wow !
A reporter actually writing approvingly of restrictions on social media .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and then there are conspiracies that are quite obvious -- like Big Media wanting to suppress everything that they they feel is `` out of context . ''
Entire topics , like the Biden family 's lobbying , are `` out of context . ''
Last time we checked , expressing a political opinion is not a crime even if you might wish it to be otherwise .
And the lack of such restrictions ( censorship ) at Parler seems to upset MAGA-gagging Nguyen quite a bit : The set-up gives MAGA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the post-election beliefs of the public at large , the widely accepted reports in mainstream news outlets and the word of experts and even some government officials .
There is now a robust , consequence-free echo chamber for them that confirms a worldview in which a rigged election system falsely gave Biden a victory , and leftist thugs are taking to the streets to ensure the outcome isn ’ t overturned .
And with over 4 million new downloads since Election Day — nearly doubling the site ’ s user base — that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Robust , consequence-free echo chamber , '' aka free speech .
Or would you prefer there should be `` consequences '' for expressing opinions you do n't like , Tina ?
People are transitioning to Parler not just under the `` guise of free speech , '' but under the reality of it .

Since the election, President Donald Trump and his allies have faced fact-checks, condemnation and restrictions when trying to spread inconclusive evidence of voter fraud and leftist violence on social media. But over on Parler, there’s a new, millions-strong MAGA universe where conservatives are freely spreading these claims and reinforcing their belief that Democrats have stolen the election from Trump. Hashtags on Parler denoting Trump’s favorite conspiracy theories — #Dominion, #Sharpiegate, #QAnon — trend freely, without the restrictions Twitter and Facebook have instituted to suppress them.
Wow! A reporter actually writing approvingly of restrictions on social media. There are crazy conspiracy theories out there, and then there are conspiracies that are quite obvious -- like Big Media wanting to suppress everything that they they feel is "out of context." Entire topics, like the Biden family's lobbying, are "out of context."
Last time we checked, expressing a political opinion is not a crime even if you might wish it to be otherwise. And the lack of such restrictions (censorship) at Parler seems to upset MAGA-gagging Nguyen quite a bit:
The set-up gives MAGA conservatives an easy way to simply dismiss the post-election beliefs of the public at large, the widely accepted reports in mainstream news outlets and the word of experts and even some government officials. There is now a robust, consequence-free echo chamber for them that confirms a worldview in which a rigged election system falsely gave Biden a victory, and leftist thugs are taking to the streets to ensure the outcome isn’t overturned. And with over 4 million new downloads since Election Day — nearly doubling the site’s user base — that echo chamber is expanding rapidly.
"Robust, consequence-free echo chamber," aka free speech. Or would you prefer there should be "consequences" for expressing opinions you don't like, Tina?
“Parler’s positioning as a receptacle for Trump's MAGA supporters is part of a longstanding trend of conservatives threatening a Twitter exodus over claims of censorship and persecution,” said Karim Zidan, a journalist with the left-leaning watchdog group Right Wing Watch. “Twitter's heavy moderation of posts involving election-fraud conspiracy theories and disinformation has caused MAGA supporters to slowly transition to Parler under the guise of free speech.”
People are transitioning to Parler not just under the "guise of free speech," but under the reality of it.
