BUSTED: Former Aide Reveals Bill Clinton Visited Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Pedophile Island,’ Chelsea’s Ties to Pedophile Pimp Ghislaine Maxwell

Doug Band , former aide to Bill Clinton for nearly two decades , revealed a trove of well-kept secrets about the former president ’ s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein , the late billionaire convicted of sex crimes .
“ I prefer to remain invisible , ” Band said in an interview with Vanity Fair .

thelibertydaily--2020-12-03--8 Interesting Facts about the Birth of Jesus

Jesus ’ Birth Came after 400 Years of Silence from God Not only was the birth of Jesus a miracle , but it was viewed by those who believed as the first sign from God in centuries .
The last of the Old Testament prophets was Malachi , and he lived about four hundred years before Jesus .

God had been very present and involved with his people ever since he brought them out of Egypt .
Then , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ speaking to the people through prophets .
It is this context that made Jesus ’ claims to be the Messiah even more wonderful for some , and even more far-fetched for others .

He viewed her as an adulteress , and the penalty for adultery in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) .
Joseph , being a righteous man , chose to divorce her in secret so that her life would be spared , and both of their reputations could be salvaged .
However , if Joseph were not a decent man , he would have had every right to sentence her to death .
5 .
Jesus Was Probably Not Born in December While Christmas has been celebrated on December 25 for nearly 1700 years , Jesus was not actually born in December .
In fact , he was not born in winter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ AD Emperor Constantine established Christmas to be on the winter solstice , which is December 25 .
The winter solstice was a common time for pagan holidays , as they celebrated the sun being out more .
Many think that Constantine decided on Christmas being around this time to distract people from pagan holidays and to focus more on the celebration of Christ ’ s birth .
Jesus may have been born in the spring , probably around March or April .
Luke 2 describes the shepherds keeping watch over their flocks at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ live out in the fields with their flocks year-round , it is likely that they would be out with their flocks because their sheep would be giving birth to lambs , which happens mostly in the spring .

Based on the evidence in the text , there is no clear answer as to what exact time of year Jesus @ @ @

Many of us have likely heard the story of Jesus' birth. We've either had our children participate in Christmas pageants at church (as angels or donkeys or sheep) and many of us have our own clay or porcelain nativity sets to call our own. But as is always the case with Scripture, you may discover something new at each reading. Let's dive into some interesting facts about Jesus' birth that you may not have known before.
What Is the Story of the Birth of Jesus?
We can find the story of Jesus' birth in Matthew and Luke. Mary, a young virgin, receives word that she will give birth to the Messiah of the world through the power of the Holy Spirit. She and her husband, Joseph, travel to Bethlehem to register for the Roman Emperor's census. When they arrive, they find the city packed to the brim. A stressed innkeeper offers them a place in a cave to stay the night since they have no room in the inn. There, Mary gives birth to Jesus. Local shepherds (after receiving the joyful tidings from the angels) bear witness to this humble birth. And years later, wise men from the East arrive with gifts for the child. This child, three decades later, would save the whole world through his death and ressurection.
You are probably familiar with these details of the story. Here are some facts about Jesus’ birth that you may not have heard before.

LANZA RESTRAINED WEDNESDAY, SPEAKS TO CROWD
The drama at Mac’s Public House had continued earlier on Wednesday when state Sen. Andrew Lanza was restrained and nearly arrested for trying to enter the restaurant despite the partial vacate order.
Lanza was told only lawyers representing the business were allowed to enter. He hastily arranged a deal to offer his services free of charge, but was told that wasn’t sufficient.
“I took a step toward the door, so they started to grab me and I said ‘OK, I won’t go in,’” he said.
As he addressed the crowd on Wednesday evening, Lanza said “the city is in a death spiral.”
“We want to be safe. But we deserve the truth too,” he said.
He said that Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo split the borough in half when he designated zones as part of his micro-cluster strategy, and noted that the half with more severe restrictions -- the orange zone -- is on the South Shore, where representation is Republican.
Councilman Joseph Borelli and Assemblyman Michael Reilly also addressed the crowd, and Congresswoman-elect Nicole Malliotakis was patched in by phone.

More than a thousand people vowed to attend an egg-throwing contest at a statue unveiling of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in her hometown.
A Facebook page dedicated to not just throwing eggs at the statue, but also hauling it down and tarnishing it with graffiti, has so far attracted more than 8,000 people, with more than 2,300 others stating they will attend, according to the The New York Post.
“Bois and girls and me non binarys, we out here holding contest for egg throwing, lassos throwing, and potentially graffiti art,” the event’s organizer, Kass Arif, wrote on Facebook.

Giuliani’s appearance is billed as a “presentation” and scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m.
His remarks come on the heels of a Senate Oversight Committee hearing in which dozens of individuals, most of whom witnessed what they described as fraudulent and illegal counting activities at the TCF Center in Detroit, gave brief testimony about what they observed in the days following the election.
President Trump shared on Twitter one example:
Kristina Karamo said she was a poll challenger at the TCF Center and her job was to flag potentially illegal or improper votes.
She told the committee that one ballot had straight-party votes for both the Republicans and Democrats. According to state law, that ballot should be disqualified. Instead, she testified, poll workers awarded the vote to Democrat Joe Biden.
Karamo claimed it happened again when a voter cast a ballot for both the Democrat and the Green Party candidates.
“We saw a lot of irregular things,” she told the committee on Tuesday.
Giuliani’s scheduled presentation almost did not happen. Over the weekend, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told Breitbart News that Giuliani had been invited by committee chairman state Rep. Matt Hall (R), but House leaders blocked it.

Food insecurity in households includes those who are uncertain of having, or unable to acquire, enough food to meet the needs of all their family members because they have insufficient money or other resources to purchase food.
The most food insecure households are those with children headed by a single woman, followed by households with incomes below 185 percent of the poverty threshold. The federal poverty line was $25,926 for a family of four in 2019.

The USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Services has partnered with national, regional and local distributors “whose workforces have been significantly impacted by the closure of restaurants, hotels and other food service businesses,” the USDA says, to purchase fresh produce, dairy and meat products from American producers to the tune of $4 billion.
The program has supplied food boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy and meat products, and a combination box of fresh produce, dairy or meat products in partnership with state departments of agriculture nationwide. Distributors pack the products into family-sized boxes and transport them to food banks, community and faith-based organizations, and other nonprofit organizations working directly with families in need.
From May 15 to June 30, the USDA invoiced 35.7 million food boxes nationwide. From July 1 to August 31, the number increased to 50.8 million food boxes.
From Sept. 1 to Sept. 18, 15.1 million food boxes were delivered, and from Sept. 22 to Oct. 31, 17.2 million food boxes were invoiced.

thelibertydaily--2020-12-03--Sen. Mike Lee Passes Big Tech H-1B Visa Giveaway in Senate Without Objection

According to a number of political insiders , former Vice President Joe Biden ’ s immigration agenda will likely kick off a significant boom in illegal immigration to the United States .
Biden has the intention of rolling back some of President Donald Trump ’ s most significant administrative efforts to stem the flow of illegal immigration .
Experts argue that these moves could potentially lead to a surge in illegal immigration at the southern border .
John Binder of Breitbart News detailed some of Trump ’ s successful immigration restriction measures that could potentially be rescinded by Biden : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consequential reforms have been the implementation of ‘ Remain in Mexico ’ and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ’ s Title 42 rule — greatly slowing illegal immigration at the southern border while allowing federal immigration officials to quickly return border crossers to their native countries.
” take our poll - story continues below Under Remain in Mexico , border crossers seeking asylum in America are not immediately released into the interior of the country as they used to be .
In the meantime , asylum seekers must stay in Mexico @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Binder added how these policies contributed to a rise in blue-collar worker wages , which is the logical result of a tight labor market : The policy helped lead to a blue-collar wage spike for America ’ s working and lower-middle-class that often must compete against newly arrived illegal and legal immigrants in the U.S. labor market .
Biden has promised to rescind both reforms .
Insiders who are close to the Biden transition team even admit that Biden ’ s plan could provoke a rise in illegal immigration , according to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ policies has made claiming asylum in the US at the southern border nearly impossible , but the consequence of pulling them back too quickly could result in a sudden increase of migrants on the southern border .
“ You don ’ t want a surge to happen before you ’ re ready to handle it , ” said Andrew Selee , president of the Migration Policy Institute , a pro-mass migration think tank .
“ They ’ re going to have to rely on one of the policies they hate the most and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that they can get to a long term fix.
” The former DHS [ Department of Homeland Security ] official echoed that concern : “ You have to have a pressure valve in place before you start unwinding down these policies or you ’ ll allow a crisis to generate.
” Even Noah Smith , a columnist at a neoliberal rag like Bloomberg , admits that Biden ’ s lax migration policies could politically blow up in Biden ’ s face : In economic terms , a few hundred thousand Central American migrants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but their presence will rile up law-and-order voters who bristle at the notion of people crossing the border illegally or skipping out on asylum hearings .

Mike Lee Passes Big Tech H-1B Visa Giveaway in Senate Without Objection
Utah Senator Mike Lee succeeded in passing legislation in the Senate that would eliminate per-country-caps on recipients of H-1B visas on Wednesday, a policy change that would effectively monopolize the visa system for nationals of large countries such as India.
The Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act has been called the greatest corporate welfare program for Big Tech in recent memory. Lee has persistently sought to pass the corporate giveaway, with previous attempts to eliminate per-country-caps being blocked by Democrat Dick Durbin and Republican Rick Scott. Neither Senator objected to the unanimous passage of the modified S386 legislation on Wednesday afternoon.
Big Tech monopolies such as Apple, Google and Microsoft have fervently lobbied in favor of eliminating per-country caps, seeking to replace their American workforces with de facto indentured workers who accept lower wages and worse working conditions. The pervasive use of the H-1B visa in the American technology industry has displaced countless American workers from their careers.
Lee’s giveaway doesn’t specifically raise annual H-1B visa rates, although an increase in numbers of visa workers would be a likely consequence of its enactment. It’s expected that the program will be dominated by Indian nationals in the event that Lee’s HR1044/S386 is signed into law, providing massive corporations with a considerable labor pool willing to work for less in return for an American visa.
The legislation was most recently updated with a provision blocking Chinese nationals from using the H-1B program. This provision appears to have been instrumental in securing its passage through the Senate.

The Big Tech giveaway will now proceed to President Donald Trump’s desk, having previously passed in the House of Representatives. It will fall upon President Trump to veto the visa worker corporate welfare in the interests of American tech workers.


thelibertydaily--2020-12-03--President Trump Alludes to SharpieGate in Bombshell Speech

With only 10.3 % adjudication , Trump wins the election by 40 votes .

Last Updated on December 2, 2020
During his bombshell speech on Tuesday, President Trump alluded to the SharpieGate controversy, saying damaged Arizona ballots were tossed out.
President Trump spoke on Tuesday to address his ongoing efforts to “expose the tremendous voter fraud and irregularities” that took place during this election. In his opening statement, the President argued that “lots of bad things happened” in the weeks and months of the election, “especially when you have to prove almost nothing to exercise our greatest privilege, the right to vote.” As National File reported:
The President proclaimed that the American election system is “now under coordinated assault and siege.” This comes after many instances of voter fraud and irregularities were reported during hearings held by state legislators in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Michigan. He noted that both him and Joe Biden were warned against declaring a “premature victory” and that it would take a significant amount of time to verify the results of the election, as a result of the widespread use of mail-in ballots.

During the speech, President Trump alluded to the SharpieGate controversy in Arizona. Republican voters on election day in Maricopa County in Arizona reported that they were forced to use Sharpies, rather than ballpoint pens, and were concerned that there would be bleedthroughs, and therefore invalidate the ballots. The hashtag “SharpieGate” went viral, with Arizona voters posting their concerns all over social media.
“In Arizona, in person voters whose ballots produced error messages from tabulation machines were told to press a button that resulted in their votes not being counted,” the President said during his speech. This seems to be the same “green button” that Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and expert witness Colonel Phil Waldron referred to during the Arizona hearing on election integrity on Monday.

“Tell us about the green button in Maricopa County on the machine,” Giuliani asked Waldron. “There is one witness that is going to testify that all day she saw election officials constantly pressing the green button when somebody was voting.”
“I believe this was also linked to another witness that’s going to talk about the differences between the pens and the sharpies,” Waldron replied. “The Maricopa elections division in early voting they specified to only use ballpoint pens for voting, and then on election day they specified only use sharpies.” “The green button was to say “okay there’s an error, so go ahead and push ‘cast ballot’,” and it punches that into an error file that can be adjudicated by the election administrator,” Waldron continued, after noting that the error ballots would be created by a bleedthrough by using Sharpies.
SharpieGate, despite now being alluded to by the President, had been decried by the mainstream media as a “conspiracy theory.” However, a National File investigation revealed numerous inconsistencies between explanations given by voting machine companies such as Dominion, electoral authorities, and the media themselves.

President Trump also mentioned in his speech that the Arizona Attorney General had announced that “mail-in ballots had been stolen from mailboxes and hidden under a rock.” The ballots were found on October 30th, only a few days before election day itself, and had been stolen from various mailboxes in Glendale. The ballots that were found were hand-delivered to voters, but media reporting noted at the time that they may not have been the only victims.
We appreciate @GlendaleAZPD working with us to get these ballots in the right hands. Tampering with our elections is wrong and illegal.

thelibertydaily--2020-12-03--Democrat Georgia Senate Candidate Mocks Concealed Carrying Churchgoers

Last Updated on December 2, 2020
It was 2017, not that long ago, that 26 people died at the hand of a deranged gunman in Sutherland Springs, Texas before a concealed carry licensed parishioner stopped the assailant from killing scores more. If one Georgia US Senate candidate had his way, many more would have been killed.
The Rev. Raphael Warnock, who is running against US Sen. Kelly Loeffler in the January 5, 2021 run-off election in Georgia, openly criticized the state’s gun laws in a video of a sermon from 2014.
“I had to go to the Capitol yesterday because they decided what we really need is more guns and more access to guns by more people in more places,” Warnock said. “So, somebody decided that they had the bright idea to pass a piece of legislation that would allow guns and concealed weapons to be carried in churches.”
“Have you ever been to a church meeting? That’s the last place—” he said, before the congregation chuckled at his attempt at mockery. “Whoever thought of that had never been to a church meeting,” he concluded.
BOMBSHELL: Newly found video shows Georgia Senate candidate @ReverendWarnock LAUGHING at church-goers who defend themselves with guns. First Warnock goes after our veterans, now our Second Amendment. Georgians have a clear choice Jan. 5! #gapol #gasen pic.twitter.com/YFtGdiqkOi — NRA (@NRA) November 30, 2020
Warnock, a Black Liberation Theologian of the same brand as Chicago’s Rev. Jeremiah Wright who famously espoused, “No, no. Not God Bless America. God damn America,” is the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
Ironically, the traditional complaint of the Progressive-Left – that there should be a separation of Church and State in government, as Warnock would be influenced by his religion (something Dianne Feinstein objected to in the case of seating US Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett) – has not been uttered by anyone from the Left side of the aisle.
Warnock was referencing the Safe Carry Protection Act which was signed into Georgia law in 2014. The law is commonly referred to as the “guns everywhere” bill.
The state law makes it legal for licensed Georgia residents to carry guns into bars without restriction and, under certain conditions, in some school classrooms and government buildings. It also allows religious leaders the opportunity to “opt in” so that parishioners can be armed while attending church services.
The National Rifle Association shared posted the video clip on social media Monday saying, “Newly found video shows Georgia Senate candidate @ReverendWarnock laughing at church-goers who defend themselves with guns.”
Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), and David Purdue (R-GA), are running against Progressive-Democrats Warnock and Jon Ossoff, respectively. At stake is control of the US Senate and whether the United States will exist under one-party rule.

According to Tucker, the bill gets rid of the caps on how many immigrants can come from a single country. Which means, of course, that big tech companies will be able to hire more immigrants for high tech jobs than American citizens.
As his segment continued, Tucker also went after Kevin Cramer on this issue as well:
