Rand Paul Torches Politicians Who Want To Give Money To The Post Office: ‘Might As Well’ ‘Burn It’ On ‘Your Front Lawn’

Sen. Rand Paul ( R-KY ) blasted the notion of giving the U.S .
Postal Service any more taxpayer money during an interview on Wednesday after it has lost approximately $ 78 billion from 2007 through 2019 .
“ Well , anybody who wants to give money to the post office , you might as well just put it into a big pile on your front lawn and burn it , ” Paul told Fox News during an interview .
“ There ’ s no way to give any money to the post office to make the post office redeemable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ office unless you fix their labor problem .
80 percent of the cost of the post office is labor .
About 50 percent of UPS ’ cost are labor .
And FedEx is about 38 percent.
” “ You can ’ t run a business with 80 percent of your costs being labor , when your competitors have much lower costs , ” Paul continued .
“ So , really , in the end , just giving money to the post office is giving money to an operation that lost $ 8 billion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 10 billion , it ’ ll be gone within a year ’ s time .
It ’ s a foolhardy notion .
And , when they call it skinny , to me , it ’ s just Democrat-lite .
And I didn ’ t run for office to be just slightly less bad than the Democrats.
” “ The only way I ’ d give the post office any money would be to have a hiring freeze , and they would have to gradually lower their employment significantly , ” Paul later @ @ @ @ @ @ @ third less overall mail going through the post office in the last 14 years .
They need to have a third less employees .
A few years ago , they started , through attrition , mainly by letting the older employees not be replaced .
They were getting smaller .
But they ’ ve actually started growing again in the last year or two.
” “ If you look at the costs , even though the numbers of employees haven ’ t gone up , the costs are still going through the roof @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So , really , without a mandate to make it a smaller organization , you shouldn ’ t give them any money , ” Paul said .
“ So , it ’ s sort of like when you do rescue a company that ’ s failing , they have to have reforms .
Nobody comes in with venture capital and just says , ‘ Hey , here ’ s a bucket of money .
Keep losing money.
’ They tell you , you have to change .
So , it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ office money unless they significantly reform their ways.
” MARK MEADOWS , WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF : We need to put money back in people ’ s pocket with perhaps a skinny deal that we can make sure that checks go out .
Let ’ s go ahead and do that .
I call on Nancy Pelosi to not only finally fix the post office , but let ’ s find the things that are hurting Americans across the country because of this pandemic .
Let ’ s pass a skinny bill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Saturday .
Hopefully , they will , with a negotiating heart .
NEIL CAVUTO , FOX NEWS ANCHOR : All right , I don ’ t know if I like hearing skinny attached to any deal , especially when it ’ s almost a trillion dollars anyway .
That ’ s hardly skinny .
But it is progress , in the eyes of Republicans and Democrats , who say that maybe they can cobble together something that might not be everything that Nancy Pelosi likes , and Democrats , but Nancy Pelosi already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like that , and then address still more spending down the road .
It concerns Rand Paul , the Kentucky Republican senator with us right now .
A skinny deal , Senator , but it still looks like a pricey one .
What do you think ?
SEN. RAND PAUL ( R-KY ) : Well , anybody who wants to give money to the post office , you might as well just put it into a big pile on your front lawn and burn it .
It ’ s – there ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the post office to make the post office redeemable .
You can not fix the post office unless you fix their labor problem .
80 percent of the cost of the post office is labor .
About 50 percent of UPS ’ cost are labor .
And FedEx is about 38 percent .
You can ’ t run a business with 80 percent of your costs being labor , when your competitors have much lower costs .
So , really , in the end , just giving money to the post office is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 8 billion last year .
So , giving them $ 10 billion , it ’ ll be gone within a year ’ s time .
It ’ s a foolhardy notion .
And , when they call it skinny , to me , it ’ s just Democrat-lite .
And I didn ’ t run for office to be just slightly less bad than the Democrats .
CAVUTO : All right .
The president is for giving them some money .
So , I ’ m just wondering if he just wants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ details later .
What do you say ?
PAUL : The only way I ’ d give the post office any money would be to have a hiring freeze , and they would have to gradually lower their employment significantly .
There ’ s a third less overall mail going through the post office in the last 14 years .
They need to have a third less employees .
A few years ago , they started , through attrition , mainly by letting the older employees not be replaced .
They were getting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ started growing again in the last year or two .
If you look at the costs , even though the numbers of employees haven ’ t gone up , the costs are still going through the roof because of the pension being so expensive .
So , really , without a mandate to make it a smaller organization , you shouldn ’ t give them any money .
So , it ’ s sort of like , when you do rescue a company that ’ s failing , they have to have reforms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and just says , “ Hey , here ’ s a bucket of money .
Keep losing money.
” They tell you , you have to change .
So , it ’ s a real mistake to give the post office money , unless they significantly reform their ways .
CAVUTO : Well , whether it ’ s $ 10 billion or one , I mean , the fact of the matter is , it ’ s part of an overall stimulus measure that Republicans seem to be saying , we don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Democrats want .
But Democrats seem to be hinting they ’ ll sign on to something that might be skinny or not quite as huge now to revisit later on .
So this sounds unending to me .
PAUL : [ Yeah ] .
Well , there is no money , is the most important thing .
There is no rainy day fund .
There ’ s no savings account .
You can ’ t go over the Federal Reserve and open a big safe door , find a bunch of money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money will be borrowed , or the money will be printed .
And both of them have ramifications .
We – if we do another trillion , we ’ ll be at about $ 5 trillion for one year .
We have never , ever in the history of the United States borrowed so much so rapidly .
And I fear the consequences .
I don ’ t know how quickly the consequences come , but I fear that the stock market is going to see that , and the stock market is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three branches of government in Democrat hands .
I foresee a catastrophe for the market , if the Democrats win the election , and we keep borrowing money , and then they ’ ll be back in December saying , “ Oh , we need $ 2 trillion more.
” So , if you give people money , and you make it less painful to be in a recession , we can stay in a recession longer .
The recession is created by the government .
The government shut the economy .
So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Republican , will not have an incentive to open the economy if you soften the amount of suffering that they ’ ve created .
What we need to be doing is , every day , broadcasting that your governors are causing the unemployment .
In Kentucky , our governor has caused 700,000 people to be out of work .
And he ’ s the single , sole person to be blamed for it because no one else had any say in it .
He ’ s doing it all himself .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s a political penalty for it , he ’ ll keep doing it .
He ’ s still got the restaurant closed , even though Kentucky doesn ’ t even show up on the radar compared to these other states that have had a significant amount of cases .
CAVUTO : Well , let me ask you about the president .
So , with his executive actions , he said , we could go to them if Congress can ’ t cobble together a deal acceptable .
But there ’ s been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to cut the payroll tax that a lot of companies say they ’ re leery to follow up on , A , because it ’ s just the president saying it , it doesn ’ t have the stamp of Congress , and , B , if it ’ s temporary and all , they ’ re going to have to get that money back .
So , they ’ re not acting on that .
Concerns as well about unemployment checks continuing for a while here .
The devil ’ s in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to pay up for a quarter of that .
That doesn ’ t look likely .
So , are these executive actions falling on deaf ears ?
PAUL : Well , you know , Social Security is about $ 7 trillion short .
It ’ s set to run out of money in the near future .
There are people now estimating that we have pushed the time or we have brought the time closer to us when Social Security will be running at an annual deficit .
So , I think not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mistake .
As much as I hate taxes as much as any of the rest of those in Washington , I would rather have lower taxes , we [ have ] obligated to spend the money .
Unless you ’ re going to reform Social Security in a way in which you move the age out or you do something to compensate for letting people keep more money , then you ’ re just making the deficit in Social Security bigger .
And I think that would be a mistake .
You ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t pass a law , and the president defers your Social Security payment , what happens in five months if we still can ’ t come to an agreement , and we send every worker a bill for 500 bucks ?
Do you think that ’ s going to get paid ?
You know , I don ’ t see really a good way out of this .
And , also , the Constitution was pretty clear that the power of the purse resides with Congress .
And no matter whether the president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like this president is – and I consider him a friend , and I support him – I also don ’ t want any president , even from my party , to have so much power that they can control the power of the purse without the checks and balances of Congress having to take action .
CAVUTO : Well , it ’ s something you can take up at another time because the president wants to make that payroll tax cut permanent , if he were reelected .
We will see how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s always good having you .
Thank you for taking the time .

Allen West Warns Hispanics: Democrats Want to Due to Hispanics What They Did to Blacks in Order to Make You Dependent on Them

Republican Party of Texas chairman Lt. Col. Allen West revealed his views on what messaging Republicans should ...

Last Updated on August 21, 2020
Republican Party of Texas chairman Allen West gave an exclusive interview to the National File on Wednesday, where he revealed how the Democrats’ agenda would negatively impact Hispanic-Americans.
West started by addressing the impact of ongoing demographic change in the state of Texas, and whether it could impact future elections.
“[Democrats] think they can win states like Texas by having an irrational, emotional argument, which is not going to be successful,” he said.

He then discussed how there was potential for the Republican Party to continue making inroads into the Hispanic community, especially given their shared conservative social outlook.
“When you talk about demographic change, I would once again go back to when you go back to the principles and values in the Hispanic community: it is a conservative community,” he said. “They are strong with their Judaeo-Christian faith heritage, they believe in families, strong families, individual responsibility, quality education, small business entrepreneurship – a number of Medal of Honour recipients in the United States military have come from the Hispanic community, so we need to be engaging the Hispanic community and all communities based on those principles and values.”

West, an African-American himself, went on to draw a comparison with the black community as a cautionary tale to the Hispanic community.
“I will just say very simply to the Hispanic community here in the great state of Texas – look at what the policies of the progressive socialist left, the Democratic Party, has done to my community, the black community,” he continued.

He noted how Democratic policies had destroyed the culture and family structure of the black community in America.
“We were once a very strong community, strong with faith, strong with family, strong with education, individual responsibility – now look at what the policies of the left have done to those major urban population centers,” West added.
“So the Hispanic community needs to understand, as the black community is being leapfrogged – now the Hispanic community is the second largest community in the country – the Democrats are going to do to the Hispanic community exactly what they did to our community,” he continued.

He then noted how the Democrats’ destructive pro-abortion policies have impacted his own community.
“The black community only makes up 13% of the population of the United States of America but yet we make up 35% of the murders of unborn babies in the United States of America, thanks to an organisation called Planned Parenthood, which has almost 73% of their clinics in minority communities – an organisation that was founded by a white supremacist and a racist,” he concluded.
Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger, a known eugenicist with widely known discriminatory views towards African-Americans.

But a day after the photo was posted, Delta banned O’Neill and issuing a statement that he’s no longer welcome aboard:
“Part of every customer’s commitment prior to traveling on Delta is the requirement to acknowledge our updated travel policies, which includes wearing a mask. Failure to comply with our mask-wearing mandate can result in losing the ability to fly Delta in the future,” Delta said in a statement.
O’Neill’s experience is the latest of several controversies that has erupted online around the topic of wearing masks.
Last week, the Department of Natural Resources faced criticism after it told employees to wear masks on Zoom calls, even when they’re at home alone.
And over the last month, several people have faced sanctions from their employers after posting anti-mask content including a school principal who was pressured into resigning after posting a meme comparing mask wearers to Holocaust victims, a nurse who was investigated after anti-mask comments on Facebook, and police officers who were investigated after posing with an anti-mask campaigner on Instagram.

Illegal Alien Hailed by Democrats at Orange Man Bad Convention Deported Under Clinton, Re-Arrested Under OBAMA!

An illegal immigrant featured in a video on the third night of the Democratic National Convention was first deported in 1998 under former President Bill Clinton and was re-arrested and ordered deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in 2013 under former President Barack Obama, U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement officials said Thursday.
Alejandra Juarez successfully re-entered the U.S. illegally at an unknown time after her first deportation, according to ICE. She was arrested again in 2013. She ultimately left the U.S. on a commercial flight in 2018 under President Trump.
During the third night of the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday evening, Juarez’s story was part of an immigration segment where her 11-year-old daughter Estela read a letter she wrote to Trump criticizing him for deporting her mother, who first came to the U.S. illegally in 1998 and lied to a U.S. border agent about her immigration status. According to ICE, after Juarez was deported, she attempted to re-enter the U.S. again "by falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen but then withdrew her application."
A traffic stop that occurred in Florida in 2013 brought her back into ICE custody when Obama was president.
An ICE spokesperson confirmed that a "reinstatement of removal" was issued after Juarez was re-arrested in 2013 because she was previously deported. After that, a “temporary stay of removal” was granted in 2015 and 2016 that prevented the deportation from being carried out. ICE said that an additional “temporary stay of removal” was not approved in 2017 and Juarez left the country via a commercial flight in 2018.
The full details of her arrests under Democratic presidents were excluded from the moving video played at the DNC's convention.
The DNC said in a press release that Juarez “married a proud American Marine with whom she had two American children.”
According to an ICE statement about the Juarez case in 2018, ICE "respects the service and sacrifice of those in the military and the families who support them, and is very deliberate in its review of cases associated with veterans and active-duty service members.

A coronavirus alert sign in the United Kingdom reminding people to maintain social distancing also tells them , “ Look away when passing other people.

“ CORONAVIRUS BE ALERT – NARROW WALKWAY AHEAD .

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…

thelibertydaily--2020-08-21--Lawsuit: Clinton-Tied Democrat Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein Cited Friendship With Bill Clinton To Carry

Lawsuit: Clinton-Tied Democrat Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein Cited Friendship With Bill Clinton To Carry Out Vicious, Prolonged Sexual Assault’

Never before seen photos have emerged of Bill Clinton receiving a massage from Jeffrey Epstein accuser Chauntae Davies , who was just 22 at the time .
The Daily Mail released the pictures , which will again raise questions over Clinton ’ s connections with the elite pedophile Epstein .
The photos show a clearly pleased Clinton being treated by Davies after a trip on the infamous “ Lolita Express ” plane in 2002 .
“ The images show Clinton dressed in a yellow button-down shirt and beige slacks with his hands resting on his lap , as he leaned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ behind him for a better angle , ” the Mail wrote .
“ Clinton , then 56 , had complained of having a stiff neck after falling asleep on Epstein ’ s infamous private jet , nicknamed The Lolita Express , while on a humanitarian trip with the pedophile to Africa in September of 2002 , ” the report continues .
“ [ Alleged madam Ghislaine ] Maxwell , who is now in prison on sex trafficking charges , repeatedly encouraged Davies to give Clinton a massage while the group was refueling at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in from New York , ” it adds .
Clinton was said to have asked Davies , “ Would you mind giving it a crack ?
” When asked about the incident , Davies said “ Although the image looks bizarre , President Clinton was a perfect gentleman during the trip and I saw absolutely no foul play involving him , ” according to the report .
While Clinton has repeatedly denied knowing anything of Epstein ’ s sordid activities , Court documents unsealed in the Maxwell case last month revealed that a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Epstein ’ s so called ‘ pedo island ’ in the Caribbean along with Epstein , Maxwell and “ two young girls ” .
The claims in the documents echo those previously made by a former worker on Epstein ’ s island in a Netflix documentary .
The claims run contrary to denials by Clinton that he ever visited the island , which was reportedly the site of multiple sexual assaults of underage women by the convicted pedophile Epstein and his elite guests .
The allegations were made by Steve Scully , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who was present on the island of Little Saint James , as part of Jeffrey Epstein : Filthy Rich , which features testimony from witnesses and victims of Epstein ’ s sordid activities .
Scully claims that he saw the Clinton sitting with Epstein in the porch of the island ’ s villa .
Scully did not witness Clinton partaking in any illegal activity , however , and says no other guests were present at the time .
Scully says that he saw other ‘ important people ’ visiting the island , including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be naked and flanked by topless girls .
“ You tell yourself that you didn ’ t know for sure and you never really saw anything , but that ’ s all just rationalization , ” Scully notes in the program , adding “ Jeffrey Epstein , he was a guy who concealed his deviance very well – but he didn ’ t conceal it that well.
” In January , pictures emerged of Clinton with his arms around Chauntae Davies , who has previously said that she was recruited to be Epstein @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slave ’ : Clinton has also been pictured on the steps of Epstein ’ s private plane , dubbed ‘ the Lolita Express ’ with Maxwell in 2002 : Flight logs have shown that Clinton made 26 trips on the plane from 2001 to 2003 .
Clinton was also pictured with Epstein ’ s housekeeper Jun-Lyn Fontanilla , and another staff member inside Epstein ’ s New York house : In separate legal papers accuser Virginia Giuffre has also placed Clinton on the island , claiming she had dinner with the former president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ women from New York on the island on one occasion .
Giuffre also said that she saw Clinton “ strolling into the darkness with two beautiful girls around either arm.
” The same witness , thought to be Giuffre , also said she had overheard Epstein saying that Clinton owed him “ favors , ” while noting that she couldn ’ t tell whether he was joking or not :

Update (2230ET): Musk has replied news that he’s been subpoenaed in the US Virgin Islands lawsuit against JPMorgan over their relationship with Epstein.
“This is idiotic on so many levels,” said Musk, adding “That cretin never advised me on anything whatsoever.“
“The notion that I would need or listen to financial advice from a dumb crook is absurd.”
Lastly, Musk claims that JPMorgan “let Tesla down ten years ago, despite having Tesla’s global commercial banking business, which I then withdrew. I have never forgiven them.”
This is idiotic on so many levels:
1. That cretin never advised me on anything whatsoever.
2. The notion that I would need or listen to financial advice from a dumb crook is absurd.
3. JPM let Tesla down ten years ago, despite having Tesla’s global commercial banking… — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 16, 2023
Elon Musk was issued a subpoena by the US Virgin Islands as part of its lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase over the bank’s alleged facilitation of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring, a court filing revealed Monday.
According to the filing, the Virgin Islands has attempted to serve Musk since late April, because Epstein “may have referred or attempted to refer” Musk as a client to JPMorgan.
The USVI hired an investigative firm to try to locate an address from Musk, and also contacted one of the CEO’s lawyers, who in the past has waived the requirement of him being personally served with legal documents in past federal cases, according to the filing in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. -CNBC
“The Government contacted Mr. Musk’s counsel via email to ask if he would be authorized to accept service on Mr. Musk’s behalf in this matter but did not receive a response confirming or denying his authority,” reads the filing.
JPMorgan is accused of servicing approximately 55 Epstein accounts between 1998 and 2013, years after his 2006 arrest for soliciting minors in Florida.
Meanwhile, the US Virgin Islands has also been unable to subpoena Google co-founder Larry Page in connection with its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, according to federal court filings.
In a motion filed last week by the USVI Attorney General, process servers have attempted to reach Page at four different addresses – none of which were ‘valid.’
“The Government made good-faith attempts to obtain an address for Larry Page, including hiring an investigative firm to search public records databases for possible addresses,” reads a filing. “Our process server attempted service at the addresses identified by our investigative firm, but discovered the addresses were not valid for Mr. Page.”
As such, prosecutors are asking the court to allow Page to be summoned via Alphabet, Google’s parent company, as Page still serves on its board.
Page’s whereabouts are largely unknown, though he was said in December to have spent the bulk of the COVID pandemic on one of his growing number of private islands – some of which are within the US Virgin Islands. Page purchased Hans Lollik and its smaller neighboring island, Little Hans Lollik, in 2014 for $23 million. -Daily Mail
“Larry Page – the co-founder and co-owner of Alphabet Inc. (Google LLC’s parent company) – is a high-net-worth individual who Epstein may have referred or attempted to refer to JPMorgan,” reads a filing in the case.
As Ben Bartee notes in PJ Media;
It seems there are two potential explanations for Mr. Page’s disappearing act: either he himself doesn’t want to testify because of personal fears of what crimes it might implicate him in, or someone or something else doesn’t want Mr. Page discussing what he knows about Jeffrey Epstein’s activities.
I recently made a half-serious petition for Elon Musk to slap a Twitter “red check” on all known Jeffrey Epstein associates. When this ordeal is said and done, there might be a new Silicon Valley tech overlord to add to the list.
The subpoena efforts are part of the ongoing Virgin Islands prosecution of JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, implicating the highest level of multinational banking as potential accomplices in the years-long trafficking ring.
Via CNBC:
CEO Jamie Dimon in an interview Thursday said he was “so sad” the bank had any business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — but denied the firm is legally liable for the dead predator’s sex trafficking. Dimon also said, in the televised interview with Bloomberg, that if JPMorgan had known everything that has become public in recent years about its former customer Epstein “we would have done things differently.”
What sad propaganda.
If anyone believes that a multinational banker like Jamie Dimon is psychologically capable of regret over facilitating immoral/illegal activities on behalf of his clientele, I have oceanfront property in Montana to sell you.

Publicist Says Middle Class & Wealthy are Fleeing Los Angeles: In 40 Years, the City’s Gone From Smelling Like ‘Orange Blossoms’ to the ‘Streets Stink of Urine’

Veteran publicist Ed Lozzi says that the middle class and wealthy are fleeing Los Angeles , noting that whereas the town once smelled of orange blossoms , it now smells of urine .
Lozzi noted that coronavirus was just the final blow to a city already reeling as a result of its progressive attitude towards homelessness .
“ Hollywood has always been the wokest of the woke , so politicians have done nothing to stop people sleeping on the streets .
It ’ s not illegal and the weather ’ s nice , so they keep coming , ” he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is insufficient housing , inadequate mental health care .
Add in Covid and it ’ s a perfect storm.
” The economic impact of the COVID lockdown and the problems caused by open air homeless camps has made the downtown area unlivable for families , with many of them now desperately trying to sell their properties and escape to suburbia .
Rich celebrities like Joe Rogan and Elon Musk have also permanently left the city in recent times .
Producer Dana Brunetti , a business partner of Kevin Spacey , also recently acquired @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more widespread riots .
The impact of allowing some 66,000 homeless people to roam the streets has also literally changed the smell of the city , according to Lozzi .
“ When I first arrived in LA 40 years ago , the town smelled of orange blossoms .
Now the streets stink of urine , ” he said .
“ There is a beautiful park in Westwood but you can ’ t go there because there are people slumped on the ground and you step on a carpet of needles.
” Danny O @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Moving & Storage , confirms Lozzi ’ s assertion about the mass exodus , arguing that “ liberal politics has destroyed this city.
” “ The homeless encampments are legal and there ’ s nothing the police can do .
White , affluent middle-class folk are getting out .
People don ’ t feel safe any more , ” said O ’ Brien .
He notes that August has already set records for people moving out .
“ People are getting out in droves .
Last week I moved a prominent person in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ million mansion above Sunset Boulevard to Nashville , ” said O ’ Brien .
“ The sudden migration of elites and white people from Los Angeles is similar to what happened in America after the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s when white city dwellers fled to suburbia , ” reports Zero Hedge .
“ White/elite flight 2.0 is well underway and could last a couple of years.
” As we document in the video below , for many of the same reasons , there is also an exodus out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ having left the city between March 1st and May 1st alone .

The impact of allowing some 66,000 homeless people to roam the streets has also literally changed the smell of the city, according to Lozzi.
“When I first arrived in LA 40 years ago, the town smelled of orange blossoms. Now the streets stink of urine,” he said.
“There is a beautiful park in Westwood but you can’t go there because there are people slumped on the ground and you step on a carpet of needles.”
Danny O’Brien, the owner of Watford Moving & Storage, confirms Lozzi’s assertion about the mass exodus, arguing that “liberal politics has destroyed this city.”
“The homeless encampments are legal and there’s nothing the police can do. White, affluent middle-class folk are getting out. People don’t feel safe any more,” said O’Brien.
He notes that August has already set records for people moving out.
“People are getting out in droves. Last week I moved a prominent person in the music industry from a $6.5 million mansion above Sunset Boulevard to Nashville,” said O’Brien.
“The sudden migration of elites and white people from Los Angeles is similar to what happened in America after the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s when white city dwellers fled to suburbia,” reports Zero Hedge.
“White/elite flight 2.0 is well underway and could last a couple of years.”
As we document in the video below, for many of the same reasons, there is also an exodus out of New York, with over 400,000 people having left the city between March 1st and May 1st alone.
The era of city living is coming to an end.

thelibertydaily--2020-08-21--Too Anti-War? Former Presidential Candidate Tulsi Gabbard Says She ‘Was Not Invited To Participate I

Too Anti-War? Former Presidential Candidate Tulsi Gabbard Says She ‘Was Not Invited To Participate In Any Way’ At The Democrat Convention

Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard ( D-HI ) , who infamously blasted Senator Kamala Harris ( D-CA ) on the 2020 primary debate stage last summer and went on to outlast her campaign by months and earn two delegates in the process , says she was not invited to attend the Democratic virtual convention this year .
Gabbard revealed the apparent snub on Thursday evening when responding to a Twitter user who claimed it was tradition for candidates who earn delegates during the Democratic primary to speak at the convention .
The congresswoman responded to the Twitter user : “ You ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to participate in any way.
” Other candidates who did earn delegates , such as former New York City Michael Bloomberg and Senator Elizabeth Warren ( D-MA ) , were included at the convention .
Even former Congressman Beto O ’ Rourke , who dropped out months before the first primary , was included in a Thursday evening round-table discussion with other former candidates , including businessman Andrew Yang and Senator Cory Booker ( D-NJ ) — neither of whom won any national delegates either .
Gabbard told CNN reporter Jake Tapper that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was excluded from the convention line-up , but was currently en route to Alaska for an Army Reserve mission — which suggests she may not have agreed to speak live , or perhaps would have opted for a pre-recorded message instead of speaking live .
Gabbard has long been critical of the Democratic National Committee ( DNC ) , both directly and indirectly through her actions .
Back in 2016 , she resigned as vice chairwoman of the DNC to endorse Senator Bernie Sanders ( I-VT ) in the 2016 primary .
After @ @ @ @ @ @ @ debacle in 2020 , Gabbard called on DNC Chairman Tom Perez to resign during an interview with WMUR-TV , also citing the “ growing skepticism ” among voters in the party concerned about the fairness of the primary .
Gabbard later dropped out , the last person in the Democratic primary race other than Sanders , and endorsed Biden , saying that “ although I may not agree with the vice president on every issue , I know that he has a good heart , and he ’ s motivated by his love @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” reports Politico .
Despite her criticism of the status quo in the Democratic Party , the Hawaii congresswoman said she was “ confident ” the former vice president “ will lead our country guided by the spirit of aloha , respect and compassion , and thus help heal the divisiveness that has been tearing our country apart , ” reports the news agency .

Rep @TulsiGabbard tells me she was not invited to participate in the convention in any way, she was not told why. She’s currently on a plane headed to Alaska, on her way to an Army Reserve mission to help out a small Alaska Native tribe with some critical infrastructure issues. — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) August 21, 2020

The rioters damaged “ the Office of Community Involvement , which aims to engage historically marginalized communities in local political decisions about social services and the distribution of public resources.

The latest riot in Portland proves it has everything to do with mayhem and nothing about black lives , systematic racism , or police brutality .
Rioters attacked the Multnomah Building , which has offices for the local sheriff , but mostly “ houses offices for county departments that provide social @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police.
” The rioters once again hurt those they supposedly riot for : Tuesday night ’ s fire damaged important county resources that have nothing to do with policing , officials said , including the county ’ s Office of Community Involvement , which aims to engage historically marginalized communities in local political decisions about social services and the distribution of public resources .
“ The lobby where the first same-sex marriage in Oregon took place , and where millions of pieces of personal protective equipment are being distributed to help our community @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Multnomah County Chair Deborah Kafoury said in a statement .

thelibertydaily--2020-08-21--Pro-Infanticide, Pro-Riots Joe Biden: ‘I’ll be an Ally of the Light, Not the Darkness’

“ I ’ ll be an ally of the light , not the darkness , ” the nominee tells virtual DNC .
“ Joe Biden knows how to read , ” host Julia Louis-Dreyfus took care to remind viewers Thursday , “ and he reads everything.
” In an undated clip , Joe Biden quoted Kierkegaard that “ faith sees best in the dark.
” The television audience may have wanted more , but the virtual event kept them waiting while other Democrats had their say .
“ Joe and Kamala are real people , ” said former candidate Andrew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ magic of Joe Biden.
” Sen. Chris Coons said Biden ’ s faith is strong and he “ knows the power of prayer.
” Such a man of faith and conscience , Coons said , can “ confront the original sins of this nation , slavery and racism.
” Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms hailed the late John Lewis , celebrated earlier in a short film .
And now we need “ real leaders like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
” California secretary of state Alex Padilla has registered at least one million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and refuses to participate in probes of voter fraud .
On Thursday , Padilla charged that Trump is “ trying to sabotage the Post Office ” and “ made it hard to cast ballots.
” Sen. Cory Booker did not experience another Spartacus moment , but he told viewers his auto-worker father “ would be proud of Joe and Kamala.
” Sen. Tammy Baldwin said Joe ’ s record on health care “ was a big f -- -king deal , ” and Joe and Kamala were “ the only answer.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in chief , ” said Sen. Tammy Duckworth , and “ Joe Biden would never turn his back on our troops.
” Mayor Pete Buttigieg said Joe Biden “ stepped out ahead on marriage equality , ” and “ imagine what could change by 2030.
” So Pete and husband Chasten are “ proudly supporting Joe and Kamala.
” It ’ s a contest for the soul of a nation and “ black lives matter.
” Former rival Michael Bloomberg told viewers Biden and Obama created more jobs than Trump .
For Vermont @ @ @ @ @ @ @ honest and decent , ” and the nominee from Delaware seemed to be in his preacher mode .
“ Give people light and they will find a way , ” Biden said .
“ I ’ ll be an ally of the light , not the darkness.
” He was out to “ choose hope over fear , facts over fiction , ” instead of the “ truth over facts ” of a previous speech .
On Thursday , Biden said , “ the days of cozying up to dictators is over , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been anything we ’ ve been able to accomplish.
” For the most part , the rest was error-free , but all too familiar boilerplate about the existential threat of climate change , tax breaks for the wealthy , and of course “ systemic racism.
” And so on .
“ This is not a partisan moment , ” Biden said .
The nation is “ poised to make great progress again ” and “ find the light once more.
” And as he closed out , “ may God bless you and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden said not a word about the violence currently convulsing the nation , and neither did any other Democrat .
It also escaped notice that DNC casting directors had missed some Democrat Big Stars such as former California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown .
Back in the day , when he was 60 , Brown spotted Kamala Harris , 30 years his junior .
Brown set her up in lucrative sinecures and she became his main squeeze .
That act of poontronage helped launch a career that has landed Harris on the 2020 ticket @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the virtual DNC was Angela Davis , the 1980 and 1984 Communist Party USA candidate under the Stalinist Gus Hall .
Davis , keynote speaker at the 2017 Women ’ s March , is on record that “ to vote for ourselves I think that means that we will have to campaign for and vote for Joe Biden.
” Even so , the Democrats ’ 2020 show saved no room for Angela .
Joe Biden ’ s first DNC was in Miami , in 1972 , so for Joe this is DNC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and maybe before , Joe Biden is the first presidential candidate truly to defy satire .
Tom Shillue and Bruce Bawer do their level best , but the best portrayal may be Chauncey Gardner in the 1979 movie Being There .
According to housekeeper Louise , who raised him , Chauncey was “ short-changed by the Lord and dumb as a jackass , ” yet he cavorts with the rich and powerful and winds up a famous television commentator .
As Louise explains , “ All you have to be in America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” For all their talk that black lives matter , the Democrats pick an old white guy who tells a black radio host that if he doesn ’ t support him , “ you ain ’ t black.
” At the funeral of magnate Benjamin Rand , his handlers say their only chance to retain the presidency is Chauncey Gardner .
In similar style , Democrats are banking on Joe Biden to win back the presidency from Donald Trump , but maybe old Joe is just , as President Trump said Thursday , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ movement , ” and the one they really want on top is Kamala Harris , who got her start under Willie Brown .
If Biden wins , Democrats may have a plan to depose him , or maybe something will happen before the election .
After all , in 1972 George McGovern dumped highly-qualified running mate Thomas Eagleton because he had been hospitalized for depression .
As President Trump likes to say , we ’ ll have to wait and see what happens .
