nationalfile--2020-03-17--VIDEO: Woman ‘Fakes’ Spousal Abuse Injuries, Headbutts Through Shop Window

CCTV footage shows woman banging head against shop glass during argument , only to break through

Last Updated on March 17, 2020
A viral video on Facebook shows surveillance footage of a couple having a heated argument to the point where the woman appears to try to give herself head injuries–ostensibly to make it appear as if her partner had physically abused her–by repeatedly headbutt a store window, only to smash through the glass.
The short, but dramatic, footage was caught in the early hours of March 5 outside a battery store.
The animated woman and her partner are engaged in an intense fight until she ups the ante by violently trying to give herself injuries to incriminate the man.
Calmly, throughout the entire footage, the man is stood with his arms folded, watching the woman launch her energetic tirade.
After the woman smashes through the glass, the cross-armed man wanders off; the livid woman, further enraged by her being self-owned, gets up and starts chasing the man before the footage cuts off.
Introduced by the translated caption, “is your girlfriend toxic? Well…” the popular video garnered just under three million views in under a week, with an impressive 62K shares.
https://www.facebook.com/ChePillin.Oficial/videos/504013130543715/?t=23
The original poster also noted that the self-destructive woman “never let go of her cigarette.”
One commenter on the post said: “I love that he just walked off haha she deserved everything she got!”
Another joked: “Did anyone else see how many orbs were inside that building. That building has some severe spiritual or demonic presence. I’m even so sure that they could have caused her irrational behavior.”
While another quipped: “That’s what you call first class self service battery.”
“He will be found guilty of not preventing the incident….” wrote a fourth.
Most of the comments sided with the man who coolly dealt with the incident, which spiraled out of control without his interference.
Many commenters remarked at the ironically titled “Battery” story on the side of the window, poking fun at the faked crime the women wished to pin on her significant other.


nationalfile--2020-03-17--Virginia Nurse Coordinates Fundraiser to Provide Healthy Lunches for Kids Amidst School Closures

Last Updated on March 17, 2020
Nurse Amy Johnston has coordinated alongside a network of registered nurses in Virginia, and with the help of the Virginia school district, a fundraiser was started in order to ensure Virginia’s students would still be fed a healthy lunch during the COVID-19 closure period. This fundraiser is for children who wouldn’t be able to have lunch without their school meal programs.
“While a few larger districts are establishing meal pick up times during this 2+ week closure, many throughout the state have yet to do so and may not be able to sustain that effort,” says Johnson.
Virginia Governor Ralph Northam formally made the announcement that there will be full school closures in the state for a minimum of two weeks. The campaign designated to raise funds for students was organized by Johnson, and promptly put up on Go Fund Me.
Johnson along with her network of nurses will be using their funding to provide outreach to families with school children who rely on the lunch programs in order to have a full days worth of meals. The team of nurses will be delivering these meals to the homes of these families during the two week long duration of full school closure.
According to the Go Fund Me fundraising page, if there are any leftover funds will go towards delinquent school lunch accounts once school starts up again. This will help a great number of families who will be in need of such assistance when their kids are back in class come March or April.
In only 18 hours, the fundraising page organized by Johnson has seen 27 donors with almost $1,500 in total donations.
“Wow! Woke up this morning to over $1000 raised overnight! Thank each and every one of you for contributing. I also love seeing others doing the same in their own communities across the country,” posted in a Facebook update from Johnson today. “My team of nurses across the state is ready to go Monday. Let’s see how much we can collect through tomorrow evening so we can hit the ground running on the first day of the statewide school closure.”
As of now, the fundraiser has accumulated 32 donors that have collectively raised $1,595.

Last Updated on March 17, 2020
James Cai, 32-year-old physician’s assistant working in New Jersey was the first confirmed case of coronavirus in the entire Garden state. In a statement provided to CBS, Cai delivers a warning; He has only gotten worse since his positive COVID-19 test, and we are not being told about all the possible underlying conditions that happen when you get coronavirus.
After checking into an Urgent Care, Cai was sent to the emergency room at Hackensack University Medical Center, and has been in the ER since Tuesday. Cai self-reports his experience with developing several unreported underlying conditions of the coronavirus.
Cai told CBS he strongly disagrees with health officials who say face masks are not necessary. Cai is against advice that face masks are unnecessary. “A lot of people say, ‘It’s OK, don’t wear masks,” says Cai. “I don’t believe that.”
“It happened so quick,” Cai says.
“The virus is everything. Diarrhea, watery eyes, shortness of breath, chest pain, you name it. High fever. … Every day is getting worse. People have to take the coronavirus seriously. It’s very serious,” Cai told CBS.
New Jersey Governor, Phil Murphy, announced the first case of confirmed coronavirus on Wednesday. “We take this situation very seriously and have been preparing for this for weeks,” says Governor Murphy.
Cai visited a Westin hotel in Midtown, Manhattan, and the King David nursing and rehabilitation facility in Brooklyn prior to contracting the virus. The staff of the King David identified Cai to the New York Post after suspicions were circulating as to where he contracted coronavirus. There were 11 confirmed cases of Wuhan virus at the time of his visit to the rehab and nursing facility.
Since Cai became the first confirmed case of coronavirus in New Jersey, five new cases have been confirmed in the state. There are no confirmed deaths in the state of New Jersey, yet in the U.S. death tolls have hit 68. There are 3,487 total confirmed cases in the United States as of the time of this publication, but experts believe the actual number is significantly higher.

Last Updated on March 17, 2020
The Trump administration is hoping to send out cash to everyday Americans within the next two weeks as part of a comprehensive package aimed at providing relief for families and the economy during the coronavirus crisis.
“We’re looking at sending checks to Americans immediately,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said at a White House press conference Tuesday.
“And what we’ve heard from many Americans, many companies have now shut down, whether it’s bars or restaurants, Americans need cash now and the President wants to get cash now,” Mnuchin continued. “And I mean now in the next two weeks.”
The exact amount of cash in the checks has yet to be determined, but Mnuchin said the number “might be bigger than what’s in the press.”
When asked if there would income restrictions for the checks, Mnuchin said, “Obviously we don’t need to send people who make a million dollars a year checks.”
The full video can be seen below.
National File reported last week on Hawaiian congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard’s proposal for emergency direct aid cash packages for every American:
“We’re still here in Washington where negotiations are continuing around a direct aid package for everyday Americans across the country,” Gabbard told viewers in a video posted to Twitter. “The concerns and the impact around this global coronavirus pandemic are growing,” Gabbard continued. “Too much of attention has been focused here in Washington on bailing out Wall Street banks and corporate industries as people are making the same old tired argument of how trickle-down economics will eventually help the American people.” The congresswoman pointed out that as the government focuses on stabilizing the financial markets, it’s the American taxpayer “that gets left holding the bag, struggling and getting no help during a time of crisis.” “This is wrong,” Gabbard stated, adding, “Now is the time for action to provide direct assistance and emergency relief to every single American through a universal basic payment of $1,000 a month to every American for the duration of this crisis.”
Gabbard’s proposal may have served as the impetus for the measures currently being weight by the Trump administration.


nationalfile--2020-03-17--Mexico to Close the US-Mexico Border to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19

Last Updated on March 17, 2020
For the first time in the conversation to close the US-Mexico boarder, Mexico is being urged by their own health officials to close the border to prevent the spread of COVID-19 into Mexico.
“If it were technically necessary, we would consider mechanisms of restriction or stronger surveillance,” says Mexico’s Health minister Hugo Lopez-Gatell, adding, “Mexico wouldn’t bring the virus to the United States, rather the United States would bring it here” in a press conference that took place last Friday.
With more that 2,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, Mexican health officials are convinced that the way to keep their number low is to close the border, and discontinue travel into Mexico from the United States.
Unlike many other Latin American countries, in Mexico, which only has 16 total COVID-19 cases confirmed and no deaths as of the time this article is published, hasn’t taken as many measures to close schools or prevent entry into places with reports of higher levels coronavirus cases in the world. The only announced closure in Mexico is the private Tecnologico de Monterrey University, who will be suspending academic classes starting next week for an undetermined amount of time.
President Donald J. Trump has had very little to say on the state of the coronavirus in Mexico. The Unites States had already been limiting travel from other countries that were reporting higher levels of infection, instituting state-level curfews and shut downs of highly populated places. Now it appears that the health officials in Mexico are finally on board with a platform that many conservatives have been behind since long before the campaign of President Trump- close our US- Mexican border.
“To this point, and because we have had a very strong border policy, we have had 40 deaths related to CoronaVirus,” President Trump said in a tweet. “If we had weak or open borders, that number would be many times higher!”
The Trump Administration has on many occasions talked about the problems of disease spreading due to mass illegal immigration.

National File , the powerhouse source for real news about real issues that has quickly become one of ...

Last Updated on March 17, 2020
A supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) who tweeted out to his followers to shoot police in the face is allowed to remain on Twitter, despite directly advocating violence.
Twitter user yusufneedsarest is a supporter of Senator Sanders – his supporters are also known as “Bernie Bros.” On Tuesday, Yusuf sent out a series of tweets, seemingly in reaction to the recent coronavirus outbreak telling people to “go shoot the nearest police officer in the face,” adding that the “elites” should also be killed:
They are the bottom enforcers of a system that profited from such poverty and decay that we are now jobless and homebound with no income nor healthcare to help us through this crisis. Go shoot the nearest police officer in the face… IDFGAF how mad you are about this, or if I get dragged off. I know right from wrong. The elite are abandoning us to die. Fuck them. Kill them for their cruel abandonment. They all deserve to die and modern society deserves to end. And from the ashes, may a better society be born.
The tweets were eventually removed by Twitter for violating their community standards, as you would expect for calls to direct violence. However, a number of violent and seemingly threatening tweets are still up on Yusuf’s Twitter profile at the time of writing, including threatening to vandalise Washington DC, fight the police, and suggesting he would punch people in the face who didn’t support Sanders:

https://twitter.com/yusufneedsarest/status/1238912913743675394
Some considered it telling that violent tweets from a Sanders supporter are still allowed on Twitter, whereas conservatives, nationalists, and anyone who supports President Trump, are regularly attacked by the platform for simply expressing views contrary to the mainstream leftist opinion.
Avi Yemini, the Australian commentator, was temporarily suspended for disagreeing with climate change activist Greta Thunberg in September of last year.
Twitter also expressly allows paedophiles to discuss child sex on its platform, while banning comedians like Sam Hyde.
It is unclear whether Twitter will take any more action on Yusuf’s account, but it seems unlikely.


nationalfile--2020-03-17--BREAKING: Real News Powerhouse National File Purged From Facebook, ‘Spam’ Only Reason Given

Last Updated on March 17, 2020
National File, the powerhouse source for real news about real issues that has quickly become one of the top digital news services in the world since its founding in 2019, has experienced a massive and unprecedented site-wide purge from Facebook.
Readers of nationalfile.com who had shared links from the site on Facebook first noticed the purge when they received notifications that the links were labelled “spam” by Facebook at approximately 4:30 Central Standard Time on Tuesday.
National File’s editorial team received zero notice, either in advance or in real time, from Facebook about the blanket censorship, which consisted of an enormous purge of every National File link shared since the news outlet’s inception in August 2019.
Jack Hadfield, National File’s senior UK correspondent, received notice last week that a link he had posted had been flagged as “spam.” Links to the site were still available on Facebook until Tuesday, when National File’s readership received Facebook “spam” notifications en masse.
Upon investigating further, Hadfield encountered a notice that referenced a “spam” violation of the Community Standards that said “we don’t allow people to use misleading or inaccurate information to get likes, followers, or shares.”
National File has a track record of extremely high credibility, and an unprecedented level of accurate reporting in the nearly 1,500 articles published on the site since 2019.
National File’s Senior Reporter Patrick Howley has authored multiple high-profile exclusive reports with National File that were propelled into the mainstream, including a series on Paul Pelosi Jr.’s business dealings in Ukraine and troubled relationship with ex-girlfriend Karena Feng, as well as reporting on scandals within Child Protective Services.
Prior to his tenure at National File, Howley broke the story of Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s blackface scandal, was featured on the Drudge Report with four separate outlets, and was a respected reporter at Breitbart and the Daily Caller.
The Daily Caller has been accredited by Facebook as an official third-party fact-checker, and Breitbart is an accredited source as part of Facebook’s Facebook News curation service.
The story, confirmed by mainstream media, about social worker trashing sex abuse reports is blocked on Facebook as "Spam"https://t.co/44rYx1O41U — Patrick Howley (@HowleyReporter) March 17, 2020
National File also was one one of the first outlets to report on the FBI’s arrest of Harvard Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology chair Charles Lieber after his work in Wuhan, as well as many other exclusive reports relating to censorship, politics, tech, and foreign policy.
Facebook started mass flagging of articles related to the coronavirus as “spam” on Tuesday, including articles published by its own Facebook News and fact-checking affiliates.
National File reached out to Facebook for an explanation, and has not yet received a reply.
No public statement on this debacle has been made by Facebook as of press time. National File will provide updates if and when such a statement is provided.
UPDATE: National File articles are slowly returning to Facebook. It is still unknown if this was an error. Facebook has not returned our requests for comment.


nationalfile--2020-03-18--VIDEO: Trump Won’t Stop Calling Coronavirus ‘Chinese Virus’ Because ‘It Comes From China’

Several accusations of racism have been directed at those who identify origin of deadly coronavirus

Last Updated on March 18, 2020
In a press conference, US President Donald Trump said that he will not stop referring to the deadly coronavirus as the “Chinese Virus” despite criticisms of racism from various sources.
Many progressive voices and pro-China outlets have condemned any association of the coronavirus with China, despite Covid-19 originating there.
The rationale behind this push to remove any national association to the virus has been to stress that a virus cannot be designated a nationality, sparking a raging social media debate.
In a tweet containing a snippet from a press conference, a female journalist questioned the President on his usage on what has become an inflammatory term.
In the clip, the female journalist begins by opening with: “You keep calling this the ‘Chinese Virus,’ there are reports of dozens of incidents of bias against Chinese Americans in this country; your own aide, Secretary , does not use this term, he says ethnicity does not cause the the virus–why do you keep using this?”
Without allowing the journalist to continue her line of questioning, Trump plainly replies: “Because it comes from China.”
Accusations of racism arose, to which Trump says, “It’s not racist at all, no.”
“It comes from China–that’s why. It comes from China, I want to be accurate.”
As President Trump tries to take a question from another reporter, the journalist continues talking.
Trump continued: “I have great love for all of the people from our country, but, as you know, China tried to say, at one point, maybe they’ve stopped now, that it was caused by American soldiers.
“That can’t happen, it’s not going to happen; not as long as I’m president. It comes from China.”
https://twitter.com/CathGroyper/status/1240318526600155140
According to Metro, Trump later insinuated that one of the nicknames used for the coronavirus–‘Kung-Flu’–was not racist, despite probing questioning from journalists who appear to be more concerned with using politically correct labels than direct action for a burgeoning pandemic.

Last Updated on March 18, 2020
Bright previously mocked right wing journalists who attempted to research potential pedophiles.
The conviction “carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison.”
National File previously reported on Bright as he stood trial:
The tech writer also described himself on social media as “Poly/pan/pervy.”
In his tweets, Bright is alleged to have “missed” his “Japanese boy” as well as salivated over “jailbait” on a train and a plane.
Other tweets interrogate the maturity of minors, along with bashing certain legal impediments to sexual gratification with teenagers.
He wrote, “I think age-based rape laws (rather than consent-based) are stupid.”
He continued, “What do they need protection from, and why?”
Bright had also come out against the international pedophilia conspiracy theory, Pizzagate.
The former Ars Technica wrote a short poem in a tweet, establishing his position on the matter:
Roses are red, Except when they’re teal; Some people think Pizzagate is real
Bright was arrested by the FBI after a back-and-forth with an FBI agent posing as a mother of a 7-year-old girl and 9-year-old boy on Kinkd. He allegedly sent the agent, posing as a depraved mother, a picture of his penis and records proving that he was STD-free.
Bright allegedly wished to molest both children as well as rape the young girl, according to The Daily Dot.
Oddly, the disgraced blogger attempted to float a defense saying he was “an age-playing vigilante trying to catch the FBI agent.” Unsurprisingly, the prosecution rejected the claim.
Further, the journo claimed he was an “age-player” and a “daddy” in addition to having an attraction for “full-bodied women with a lot of body hair,” but no attraction toward children, reported Inner City Press.
When he was arrested, he was allegedly found carrying condoms.


nationalfile--2020-03-18--Jewish Broadcaster Upset After Muslim Rapper Releases Album With ‘Synagogue of Satan’ Lyric

Last Updated on March 18, 2020
“Ghost of Solja Slim,” a track on rapper Jay Electronica’s debut album, mentions the Rothschilds, a Jewish family historically involved with banking, and refers to the “Synagogue of Satan,” in what one Jewish broadcaster considers problematic.
The “Ghost of Solja Slim” track, featuring Jay-Z, reveals that Jay Electronica is apparently Muslim, or at least identifies with Islam. Electronica is also reportedly friends with the Louis Farrakhan.
The song begins with a speech by Farrakhan, who has been widely accused of antisemitism, and names the Rothschild family and the “Synagogue of Satan”:
I came to bang with the scholars
And I bet you a Rothschild I get a bang for my dollar
The synagogue of Satan want me to hang by my collar
But all praise due to Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala
Peter Rosenberg, a Jewish radio personality who is involved with the rap community, took exception to the lyrics and voiced his concern on Twitter.
“Not feeling this bar from Jay Electronica and I know I’m not the only person who felt a way about it,” wrote Rosenberg. “As a Jew it puts me in a bad position.”
“I can ignore the fact that I instantly felt a pang of discomfort and offense and basically sell out my culture or I can be accused of being ‘Jewish media’ hating on this man,” Rosenberg continued.
“The line offended me.”
As a Jew it puts me in a bad position. I can ignore the fact that I instantly felt a pang of discomfort and offense and basically sell out my culture or I can be accused of being the "Jewish media" hating on this man. But it's how I felt. The line offended me. — Peter Rosenberg (@Rosenbergradio) March 14, 2020
Rosenberg also noted that Electronica has used the term “Synagogue of Satan” numerous times.
Electronica has since said that he stands by his album, and challenged Rosenberg to discuss the meaning of the “Synagogue of Satan” in a public forum.
Rosenberg responded by offering to have him on his radio show, and said that he was “not the only good, supportive, hip hop loving person who was taken aback by some of these bars.”
I have a public forum everyday if you ever want to talk — feel free … I am not the only good, supportive, hip hop loving person who was taken aback by some of these bars…happy to discuss it any time .. — Peter Rosenberg (@Rosenbergradio) March 15, 2020
This is not the first instance of possible antisemitism in rap music. As far back as 1991, rapper turned movie star Ice Cube used incendiary language during his rap feud with Eazy E:
It’s a case of divide-and-conquer,
cuz you let a Jew break up my crew.
House n**ga gotta run and hide,
yellin’ Compton, but you moved to Riverside.
National File will cover any potential radio appearance between Rosenberg and Electronica discussing these issues.

Last Updated on March 18, 2020
During Wednesday’s coronavirus press conference, many key protocols and emergency measures were announced, including the invocation of the Defense Production Act and regulations enabling doctors and medical professionals to practice across state lines.
One call to action that was seemingly lost amidst the deluge of important information was made by official coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx, who appeared to ask for help from gamers in the fight against coronavirus.
“It may have been that the millennial generation, our largest generation, our future generation, that will carry us through for the next multiple decades… [there] may be a disproportional number of infections among that group,” Birx said.
While Birx’s description of millennials as the “future generation” may be technically inaccurate – millennials are between ages 24 and 38, which is significantly older than Generation Z – the call to action she later shared reasonated with many gamers.
“So again, I’m gonna call on that generation, that’s part of that group that brought us innovation, particularly throughout all of their ability to look around corners and skip through games, um, I always went level by level, I didn’t realize you could go from level 3 to level 7,” Birx said, apparently referencing the “warp whistle” from Super Mario Bros. 3.
Birx added, “That’s what they’ve taught us, they look for things we don’t see.”
Video of the conference was shared on Twitter with the caption “Did… Did the Trump administration just ask gamers to rise up?”
https://twitter.com/Trigg3rH4ppyDOS/status/1240328969775468544
Gamers in the Twitter replies appeared eager to take up the mantle of defending America, just as they have in done in Black Ops 2 on Hijacked so many times before.

Last Updated on March 18, 2020
The LGBT activists group assembled and distributed posters all over the tunnel walls and inside Subway cars “reminding” commuter to not act racists because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Facts, not fear, will stop COVID-19,” the posters tell travelers “No ignorance, racism, or xenophobia allowed at this station at any time.”
The posters caught the eye of commuters because the design of the poster was made to resemble a standard announcement poster commonly used by the New York Metro. It wasn’t long before the pictures were going viral on social media platforms.

The World Health Organization has published a few different statements limited the acceptable names to use when referring to the Wuhan virus. WHO believes that the policing of language will prevent some people from the feeling of being stigmatized by the labeling of the virus.
Along with the chaos brought on by panic shoppers in a major city like New York, “Pride Train” prioritizes the fight against xenophobia, which to many New Yorkers may not seem like as important when thousands of people are spreading the Wuhan flu every day and nationally more strict quarantines are being implemented. This is especially true given The New York Attorney General’s prosecution of vendors who can no longer sell their pandemic supplies.
The signs may not have been expressly allowed in the NYC subways, but the certainly weren’t unwelcome either.
Paul Joseph Watson says, “although previous posters were put up without the express permission of the MTA, Pride Train has described the Metropolitan Transportation Authority as a “silent (very silent) partner.”
There are even a few popular mainstream narratives being pushed by people such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who claims that the extreme xenophobia is causing people to no longer frequent local Chinese restaurants because those people are just, “straight up racist.”

Big tech comments on COVID-19 are full of people who are calling each other out for supposed racist language for referring to the coronavirus as “Wuhan flu” or “Wuhan virus,” despite the fact that through history it is very common to have a disease named for its point of origin.
According to Twitter user @kavismafioso, coronavirus will teach us to be more welcoming to refugees because we had to experience national shortages of toilet paper, and that gives us a glimpse at what it is like to go without.

Last Updated on February 17, 2022
Amidst the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic that threatens to cause shortages of hospital beds and staffing supplies, Baltimore mayor Jack Young’s pleaded with his city’s inhabitants to stop shooting each other so hospital beds can be used for coronavirus patients.
“I have signed a declaration for a local state of emergency,” Young said in a press conference Wednesday.
The announcement came after news of multiple shootings and hospitalizations in Baltimore Tuesday night. A total of seven people were shot during one such incident.
While the violence in Baltimore often flies under the media’s radar despite rivaling levels seen in third-world countries, Young noted that this new wave of violence amidst coronavirus is “completely unacceptable.”
“I want to reiterate how completely unacceptable the level of violence is that we have seen recently,” Young stated, adding, “We will not stand for mass shootings and an increase in crime.”
“We cannot clog up our hospitals and their beds with people that are being shot senselessly because we’re going to need those beds for people infected with the coronavirus,” Young concluded. “And it could be your mother, your grandmother or one of your relatives. So take that into consideration.”
According to CBS 13 Baltimore, police are reporting an upswing in violent crime in Baltimore amidst the coronavirus pandemic:
Commissioner Michael Harrison said the city has seen an uptick in violent crimes since Friday, including a mass shooting Tuesday night — where seven people were shot. Five people were transported to area hospitals via medics and two took private cars to the hospitals for treatment. All seven are in serious but stable condition. Harrison said they are looking for a Silver Honda that was seen in the area. A city officer who was on patrol in that microzone did engage with a person who’s believed to be a suspect in the shooting as the man was fleeing the scene. The officer was not armed with the level of “deadly firepower” that the suspect had. The officer did fire his weapon, but Harrison said police don’t know if the officer struck the suspect. The officer sustained some minor injuries in the incident and was treated. The police department is increasing staffing in the areas where crime has increased.
Some residents have reportedly called for hospitals to turn away individuals injured in gang-related violence, but such views were quickly castigated as “racist” on social media.

Last Updated on March 18, 2020
Marvel has revealed its 2020 new warriors, pandering to social justice, by naming two of them “Snowflake” and “Safespace” to the amusement of the wider internet.
These two characters captured social media attention and became subject of ample derision.
According to Comicsbeat:
SNOWFLAKE AND SAFESPACE: As psychic twins, Snowflake, a cryokinetic, can materialize snowflake-shaped shuriken projectiles for throwing. Safespace can materialize pink forcefields, but he can’t inhabit them himself, the reflex only works if he’s protecting others. They’re hyper aware of modern culture and optics, and they see their Super Heroics as “a post-ironic meditation on using violence to combat bullying.” “[Snowflake and Safespace] are very similar to Screentime; it’s this idea that these are terms that get thrown around on the internet that they don’t see as derogatory. [They] take those words and kind of wear them as badges of honor…Snowflake is the person who has the more offensive power, and Safespace is the person who has the more defensive power. The idea is that they would mirror each other and complement each other.”
Another ‘woke’ inclusion was a superhero by the name “Trailblazer” who is an overweight minority teenage girl whose special powers are drawn from a “magic backpack” which ” is actually a pocket dimension with seemingly infinite space, from which she can pull out useful or random objects—it’s not always under her control,” according to Comicsbeat.
The character, herself, actually claims that her power comes from God–but “not the god you’re thinking of.”
The internet responded as predicted. One social media user tweeted out screenshots of the Comicsbeat article with the caption: “Marvel in 2020, still wondering why nobody buys comics anymore. Ok dawg.”

Another prominent Twitter account tweeted about the fact that Marvel’s first non-binary character was unceremoniously christened such an unfortunate name, saying: “The first non-binary superhero in Marvel and they named them SNOWFLAKE.
“No, this is not fake.”
https://twitter.com/LilithLovett/status/1240080036306141184
On YouTube, the introduction of these new characters wasn’t quite well-received, presently garnering a near 7:1 downvote-to-upvote ratio.
Dan Kibblesmith, the writer of New Warriors Number 1, explains that “Snowflake” and “Safespace” are used derogatorily on the internet; here, however, he says that they’re used as a “badge of honor.”
He also reveals that “Snowflake” is non-binary and their twin, “Safespace,” is a jock.
The move comes after several animated brands make inclusions for LGBT characters and increasingly brazen progressive narratives wedged into their story lines.
However, the inclusion of these themes has not revived a dip in fortune.
Disney’s Onwards posted the worst opening weekend, adjusted for inflation, in Disney Pixar’s studio history after including an explicitly LGBT couple–which was scrubbed from Russian audiences.
Marvel’s ‘First Trans Superhero’ was a 12-year-old boy whose gender transition into becoming a girl was part-funded by his Lutheran pastor father’s church insurance.

Last Updated on March 18, 2020
As panic surrounding coronavirus continues to mount in the United States and worldwide, a veteran virologist from Israel is calling on world leaders to urge their constituents to remain calm.
The Times of Israel reports that in a recent television interview, Prof. Jihad Bishara, director of the Infectious Disease Unit at Petah Tikva’s Beilinson Hospital, urged world leaders to end the panic:
Prof. Jihad Bishara, the director of the Infectious Disease Unit at Petah Tikva’s Beilinson Hospital, said that some of the steps being taken in Israel and abroad were very important, but the virus is not airborne, most people who are infected will recover without even knowing they were sick, the at-risk groups are now known, and the global panic is unnecessary and exaggerated. “I’ve been in this business for 30 years,” Bishara said in a Channel 12 interview. “I’ve been through MERS, SARS, Ebola, the first Gulf war and the second, and I don’t recall anything like this. There’s unnecessary, exaggerated panic. We have to calm people down.
Bishara went on to say that “Everybody is whipping everybody else up into panic – the leaders, via the media, and the wider public – who then in turn start to stress out the leaders.”
“We’ve entered some kind of vicious cycle,” Bishara continued.
Bishara also stressed that the majority of those who become ill with coronavirus will suffer mild symptoms, and that the mortality rate, despite being higher than other common diseases, is still very low.
He also stressed that officials now understand which populations are at greatest risk, and suggested nationwide quarantines may not be necessary with this knowledge.
“We know how the virus behaves, how it spreads, and which groups are in danger,” said Bishara. “We know now that his virus is primarily dangerous to old people, and to people with a history of chronic disease, and those who are immunocompromised.”
Bishara’s interview echoes the sentiment of West Virginia Governor Jim Justice, who urged calm and rational minds to prevail earlier this week.
National File reported:
As hysteria continues to grip the nation, and the government recommends increased social distancing measures, Justice went on television and appeared to call for normalcy. In one viral clip, Justice told constituents to “Go to the grocery stores. For crying out loud, go to the grocery stores. If you want to go to Bob Evans and eat, go to Bob Evans and eat.” Justice also called for rational thinking and calm, telling constituents it is important not to panic due to the virus.
Supermarkets in the United States were hit by a large influx of panic buyers over the last week, with most stores completely losing their supply of toilet paper and other seemingly frivolous items, and are only now able to restock.

FCC, Major Telecom Giants, Pledge That Americans Won’t Lose Internet Access During Coronavirus Quarantine

Last Updated on March 18, 2020
Certain telecom companies entered into an agreement with the FCC stating no subscribers will get service shut off in the next 60 days due to late payments or non-payments.
Chairman of the FCC, Ajit Pai called “on broadband and telephone service providers to promote the connectivity of Americans impacted by the disruptions caused by the #coronavirus pandemic.”
Telecommunication firms have signed up for the “Keep Americans Connected Pledge” with the FCC that commits to not suspending their services to homes or small businesses over the next 60 days for those who are not able to make payments on time.
Additionally, the coronavirus quarantines have prompted internet providers into offering limited time discounts for students who are now home full time.
AT&T, Comcast, Charter, Cox Communications, Google Fiber, Sprint, Verizon FIOS and T-Mobile are among the companies that have signed up with the FCC’s “Keep Americans Connected Pledge.”
AT&T made a statement on Thursday that they will wave data overage fees for those who don’t have unlimited access. Charter Communications announced the next day that they will be offering a 60-day free broadband access to any house with a child in K-12 or students in college who don’t already have a broadband subscription.
Jessica Rosenworcel, an FCC commissioner, requested the FCC take the pledge even further by including a provision for the elimination of data caps and overage charges for all companies and telecommunication firms who agree to sign up with the “Keep Americans Connected Pledge.”
Rosenworcel additionally attempted to get wireless connection for hospitals and mobile hot spots for kids who now have to attend class from home.
With schools enforcing mandatory remote learning, and as state-by-state actions to minimize close contact, the assurance that these homes of families and students will be able to maintain access to their studies despite unanticipated finical burdens of preparing for a two week quarantine.

Last Updated on March 18, 2020
A Kentucky man, who tested positive for coronavirus, checked himself out of a hospital against the doctors’ wishes, and was then placed in a mandatory quarantine by police officers surrounding his home.
The forced isolation will result in police officers surrounding the man’s house for the next two weeks as he suffers through the virus without medical help.
In a press conference, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said “It’s a step I hoped that I’d never have to take,” before adding, “But I can’t allow one person who we know has this virus to refuse to protect their neighbors.”
While Beshear was vague on how the forced isolation was achieved, it was reported by local media that police officers have parked outside the man’s home, and will remain there for at least two weeks.
The Kentucky Standard reported:
Nelson County Sheriff Ramon Pineiroa confirmed deputies from his office are enforcing the isolation of a man who officials say tested positive for the novel coronavirus that causes the disease COVID-19. “We’re going to be out here 24/7 for two weeks,” he said in a phone interview with The Standard. He said he was on the scene personally when a reporter for The Standard spoke with him. He said the man “was cooperating now.” He declined to give the location of the residence.
A Kentucky judge defended the decision, citing public safety.
Kentucky Judge Executive Dean Watts claimed, “This is about us. It’s not about I.”
Watts continued, “We are a community, and you need to keep your community safe. You need to keep your family safe, so quarantine is a must, and if we have to, we’ll do it by force.”

Pornhub spokesperson estimates around 1 % , or 68,000 videos , uploaded yearly on Pornhub contain child rape .

Last Updated on March 19, 2020
A Pornhub spokesperson estimated around 1% of uploads per year, or 68,00 videos per year, on Pornhub contain child rape footage.
In a statement, Pornhub admitted that “cases of children in their videos” constitute “less than one percent of its content.” As the website has 6.8 million uploads yearly, this could mean that the total number of child rape videos on the website could be as high as 68,000 per year.
Laila Mickelwait, who National File previously covered, wrote on Twitter that Pornhub is “admitting” that “1% of videos featuring children being raped is the cost of doing business,” and that questions whether this means that “as long as [Pornhub] stays under 68,000 child rape videos per year no problem for them?”
👇Pornhub admitting they have children being raped & trafficked on their site. So 1% of videos featuring children being raped is the cost of doing business? Pornhub has 6.8 million uploads yearly,so as long as they stay under 68,000 child rape videos per year no problem for them? pic.twitter.com/3SMGP0tDxY — Laila Mickelwait (@LailaMickelwait) March 13, 2020
The adult film company has faced scrutiny recently surrounding a tweet from the Pornhub official Twitter page. In this tweet, a spokesperson acknowledges the presence of child rape videos on their website. This tweet has since been removed, but can be found cached.
In spite of the bad press the adult film site has been facing, executives decided to offer free access to their premium subscriptions for the entire country of Italy to “ease coronavirus pains” during their strict quarantine.
A presence even as low as less than one percent doesn’t mean much on a site that gets roughly 42 billion views a year. According to Mickelwait teen porn ‘has been a top 10 searched term on PornHub for years in a row.”
Mickelwait continues, “when you look at the ‘teen’ genre what you will find is girls that look 13 at best, holding teddy bears and licking lollipops while they are being aggressively penetrated by older men.”
Without the requirement for a government or photo identification, videos of trafficked women and children are being uploaded to Pornhub with ease.
The National file has previously reported on the limited vetting process that people have to go through to upload videos for profit.


nationalfile--2020-03-19--FBI Uses Coronavirus To Shut Down Online Public Records Operation

Last Updated on March 28, 2020
The establishment is using the worldwide Coronavirus outbreak as a pretext to push changes to our election system and also to avoid transparency. Democrat former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is calling for Congress to force through a national “Vote By Mail” system. Meanwhile, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is backtracking on transparency measures.
Judicial Watch public affairs coordinator Amelia Koehn announced Thursday:
“As mandatory social distancing forces Americans and federal government employees to telework, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is using coronavirus as an excuse to shut down its electronic public records operations. Instead, the agency that dropped the ball on 9/11 and more than 20 terrorist attacks in the U.S. since then, is encouraging the public to send requests via standard mail. Even for a famously inefficient government with a talent for keeping the public in the dark, this is a bit much. Furthermore, it is a scary display of attitude and conduct by the same bloated entity that is supposed to save us all from the new pandemic.
The bizarre move comes amid a nationwide mandate to avoid the outside world and a maximum telework order for federal government employees. Shutting its online Freedom of Information/Privacy Act (FOIPA) operation and accepting only standard mail makes no sense unless the law enforcement agency is simply trying to stop the flow of public records requests. That would be unethical, to say the least. FOIPA is a valuable tool used by Judicial Watch to expose government corruption and it is essential that there be no disruption in the system. Who will receive the mail with the new requests? When will the FOIPA requests get processed if employees are under a mandatory telework order? Judicial Watch reached out to the FBI, but never received a response. Apparently, everyone is home teleworking which means the requests could easily be accessed if the FBI didn’t shut down its electronic system.
Here is the absurd message that greets those wishing to obtain records from the FBI during the viral crisis: “Due to the emerging COVID-19 situation, the FBI is not accepting electronic Freedom of Information/Privacy Act requests or sending out electronic responses through the eFOIPA portal at this time. You may still submit a FOIPA request via standard mail. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.” The print is in red, indicating a sense of urgency, and appears above the original eFOIPA submission portal, which was designed to facilitate the process by allowing requesters to submit and receive responses electronically. “The eFOIPA portal’s normal operating hours are 24 hours a day seven days a week,” according to the FBI website, which offers simple directions on how to proceed with public records requests. “The FBI would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and looks forward to receiving and responding to your request,” the agency writes. “If you have any additional questions or experience any issues while using the eFOIPA system, please e-mail FOIPAQuestions@fbi.gov for assistance. To report a matter concerning national security or another federal crime, submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov.”
Judicial Watch passage ends

Last Updated on March 19, 2020
The British cell phone company O2 has confirmed they are in the “early stages” of discussions with the government to provide anonymous location data.
Reports emerged on Thursday evening that the British government had asked O2, one of the leading cell phone companies in the UK, to provide them with location data to see if people were following the social distancing measures that the government had released in order to tackle the coronavirus.
Some of the recommendations included not going out to pubs or restaurants, and avoiding mass gatherings.
In an email to National File, O2 said that there is nothing in place yet with the government, only “discussions at early stages,” and that despite having the capability to provide modelling support, it would only ever relate to mass movements of people, and not individuals.
They claim that this operates completely under GDPR and “existing privacy legislation.”
Besides zero rating access to NHS and other support websites, we were asked along with other mobile operators to support those who are working tirelessly to map and control the spread of coronavirus in the UK. Using our mobile technology, we have the potential to build models that help to predict broadly how the virus might move. This would in no way be able to identify or map individuals, and operates within strict privacy guidelines.

Many people were astounded that the government would request the data, with one Twitter user calling it a “breach of privacy and human rights,” and another comparing the decision to the totalitarian government depicted in George Orwell’s book “1984,” set in a dystopian future United Kingdom.
Alexander Martin, the technology reporter for Sky News, noted that the UK government were only using location data from O2, and not from any other cell network, as combining multiple datasets would make the project “high risk processing.”
Martin said that the government intended to use “aggregated and anonymised data to observe trends in public movements, particularly in London,” and while there was no “obvious cause for alarm regarding privacy,” the project certainly showed there are issues regarding government transparency.

Jim Killock, the director of Open Rights Group, told Sky News that the government “needs to maintain public trust, which means they must declare what they are doing, under which laws”:
Transparency is absolutely key to ensuring everyone trusts what the government is doing. As things stand, secretive discussions with private companies, combined with comments about sacrificing liberties, risks breeding mistrust. Everyone needs the government to succeed in their fight against the virus; all the public needs is transparency.
Currently, 143 people have died in the UK from coronavirus, and there have been 3,269 confirmed cases of the illness.
At the time of writing, the government has not released a statement. This story will be updated if they do so.

Last Updated on March 19, 2020
Photographs that have quickly gone viral on social media show that President Donald Trump has crossed out the word “coronavirus” in his personal notes during a press conference with the White House coronavirus task force on Thursday.
President Donald replaced the word “Corona” with “Chinese” after drawing a thick black line through the former with a black pen or magic marker, making the notes read “Chinese Virus.”
The media has repeatedly called president Trump a racist for his use of the term “Chinese virus,” and has demanded that he stop using the phrase immediately.
President Trump has shown zero interest in refraining from calling the coronavirus, which originated in Wuhan, China, the “Chinese virus.”
Rather than reporting on various federal initiatives to help small businesses and working families with emergency basic income, the media has repeatedly focused on the purported “racism” occurring against Chinese people as a result of the use of terms like “Chinese virus” or “foreign virus.”
The Chinese Communist Party has been circulating the idea that calling the COVID-19 virus “Chinese virus” is racist, as well as insinuating that the United States military is responsible for the outbreak.
Photos of President Trump’s notes can be seen below.

Several Twitter users posted screenshots showing that mainstream media outlets, including the BBC, Associated Press, and Washington Post, were referring to the Wuhan coronavirus as the “Chinese virus” as recently as a month ago before pivoting to call the President racist.
The images of the President’s notes have quickly gone viral since being shared on Twitter and Facebook.

Last Updated on March 19, 2020
Video footage shows One America News Network’s Chanel Rion asking President Donald Trump if the term “Chinese food” is racist, mocking the incompetence of mainstream media journalists who have become fixated on President Trump’s use of the term “Chinese virus.”
“Do you consider the term ‘Chinese food’ to be racist because it’s food that originates in China or it has Chinese origins?” Rion asked, to which President Trump quickly responded, “No, no I don’t.”
“On that note,” Rion said, “major left-wing news media, even in this room, have teamed up with Chinese Communist Party narratives and they claim you are racist for making these claims about [the] Chinese virus. Is it alarming that major media players, just to oppose you, are consistently siding with foreign state media, Islamic radicals, and Latin gangs and cartels and they work right here at the White House with direct access to you and your team?”
President Trump replied, “It amazes me when I read the things that I read, it amazes me when I read the Wall Street Journal which is also so negative, the New York Times is not even, I barely read it, you know we don’t distribute it in the White House, and the same thing with the Washington Post.”
When Rion asked President Trump if he believes the mainstream media is siding with Communist Chinese Party propaganda, he nodded and said, “I think they do. They are siding with China. They are doing things that they shouldn’t be doing, they’re siding with many others, China is the least of them.”
Video of the exchange can be seen below.
CNN’s Oliver Darcy later attempted to deride Rion as an “OAN personality” and posted a picture of a sheet of paper printed with the words “Do you think your question was helpful in halting the spread of the coronavirus?”

One user argued that the decision was totally fine as long as the location data from O2 remained anonymous, as it could “feed into the scientific impact analysis and know if the recommendations are being truly listened to and followed.”

The establishment is using the worldwide Coronavirus outbreak as a pretext to push changes to our election ...

Last Updated on March 19, 2020
The Attorney General’s Offices in New York, California, and Washington are looking to prosecute those vendors in their states that are selling pandemic supplies to willing consumers at what is being referred to as a “unconscionably excessive price.”
“To regulators and many others, the sellers are sitting on a stockpile of medical supplies during a pandemic. The attorney general’s offices in California, Washington and New York are all investigating price gouging related to the coronavirus,” reported by the New York Times this Sunday.
In California, where price gouging laws are particularly harsh, increasing the sale price over 10 percent during an officially declared emergency is considered unlawful, even when in most places price markups are well within the right of a vendor.
In New York, a similar law exists for times of emergency protocol. However, the legal language is a bit more ambiguous. In New York, vendors are prohibited from, “unconscionably excessive price” during emergencies.
In Washington, officials will be exploring the possibility of prosecuting vendors in other sates where it can be proven that there were sales being promoted by said vendor in the state of Washington.
Brothers Matt and Noah Colvin who reside in Tennessee are good examples of a vendor hit particularly hard by new restrictions on the sale of pandemic supplies to willing customers.
Under this 21-century career referred to as retail arbitrage, people have become empowered to make upwards of six figure salaries by monitoring the market, and buying up items based on what is trending. This was no different when people started to panic about the contamination rates of COVID-19.
The Colvin brothers have put in weeks of effort and thousands of miles on the road filling a truck with supplies.
“Mr. Colvin said he had posted 300 bottles of hand sanitizer and immediately sold them all for between $8 and $70 each, multiples higher than what he had bought them for. To him, “it was crazy money.” To many others, it was profiteering from a pandemic,” reported Jack Nicas.
When his inventory was removed from availability to the public, 17,700 bottle of hand sanitizer, and numerous other pandemic supplies were left to collect dust instead of help those who would willingly purchase the goods. Matt Colvin decided to donate his hand sanitizer so that it will go to good use in this state of emergency.
“Mr. Colvin does not believe he was price gouging. While he charged $20 on Amazon for two bottles of Purell that retail for $1 each, he said people forget that his price includes his labor, Amazon’s fees and about $10 in shipping.”
Alcohol-based sanitizer is more expensive to ship because officials consider it a hazardous material.
Modern price-gouging laws “are not built for today’s day and age,” Colvin said.
Some places need these supplies more than others, so for vendors to make availability on the online market for these good could be beneficial as we work to prevent the spread of the Wuhan flu.

This reporter started the Motivated Armed Girls of America only a few weeks ago, so it was a very exciting prospect to make an appearance in New Jersey to participate in this Women’s Carry Rally.
New Jersey suffers from illegal gun crime, yet has very strict laws when it comes to legally obtaining gun permits for law abiding citizens.
The freedom to carry a firearm empowers women who are more often the victim of assault to defend themselves and their families. It is important to help encourage women to not fear firearms, but instead embrace their rights and hopefully find a fun past time in learning how to shoot and maintain a gun safely.
The Motivated Armed Girls of America are not abandoning the rally all together. The three admins will be hosting a publicly available live stream starting at 10 a.m. on March 26.
They will be talking about New Jersey gun policies, how to get a permit, and will be able to answer questions about guns and our mission as a group who of women who love guns.

After his recent electoral defeats, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was repeatedly asked by reporters when he will have a decision about whether to end his campaign or continue, causing the candidate to snap back at reporters that he is dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and not focusing on politics.
Former vice president Joe Biden’s momentum appears to be unstoppable, but Sanders is refusing to take time out of his congressional schedule to decide on the future of his campaign, as Congress meets to pass emergency spending bills to fight coronavirus.
A reporter began by asking Sanders, “Sir, what are you saying to your supporters?”
“Well, some of what was said was just untrue. We sent out a statement,” Sanders attempted to respond before being interrupted by reporters again.
“What’s your time frame,” another asked.
Sanders audibly angered by the heckling, told the reporters to stop badgering him for an immediate answer.
“You have to stop with this. I’m dealing with a fucking global crisis. You know? We’re dealing with it and you’re asking me these questions.”
Still, another reporter continued, telling Sanders, “You’re running for president, so…”
Sanders again was audibly frustrated by the press.
“Well right now I’m running. Right now I’m trying to do my best to make sure that we don’t have an economic meltdown and that people don’t die. Is that enough to you? To keep you busy for today?”

Congress is currently debating spending bills that could see a form of emergency universal basic income provided to all Americans throughout the duration of the coronavirus pandemic.
Some establishment politicians, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and prominent Republicans, are holding up votes, hoping for means testing to be implemented, while Republican leadership and progressive Democrats insist that means testing will unnecessarily slow down the process of sending money.

The New York Times is attempting to obscure the birthplace of the deadly Coronavirus outbreak. The onetime newspaper of record recently altered the title of its “Wuhan Coronavirus Map” to call it simply “Coronavirus Map,” as the progressive media accuses President Donald Trump of xenophobia for correctly identifying the pandemic as a Chinese virus.
The Times also altered the name of its map in its February 2 article on the virus, as discovered by independent journalist Jeryl Bier.
One America News’ Chanel Rion pointed out the media’s hypocrisy in her question to President Trump at Thursday’s press briefing.
Good work my friend @ChanelRion best reporter in the room!https://t.co/Jv6cW4fYfS — Patrick Howley (@HowleyReporter) March 19, 2020
President Trump has not caved to the media’s fatuous pressure about what to call the Virus.


nationalfile--2020-03-20--EXCLUSIVE: Bernie Refused Tulsi’s Endorsement, Brother Claims He Treated Her ‘Like Sh*t’

Last Updated on March 20, 2020
A Facebook screenshot shows Tulsi Gabbard’s brother explaining the Hawaii congresswoman’s endorsement of Joe Biden for president by saying she offered the endorsement to Bernie Sanders first, but was refused by the 78-year-old Vermont senator.
The screenshot shows a comment from Jai Gabbard’s Facebook account, which National File confirmed to be authentic.
“Thank you for your kind words sir,” the comment reads. “Bernie has treated my sister like sh*t all the way through this. She has tried to endorse him again and he has refused her support. Whoever he’s getting his advice from has done a terrible job.”
“You go ahead keep talking about however you want, but know this,” the comment continues. “She is just going to continue being independent and keep fighting for us. Bernie isn’t the man me and Tulsi once supported 100 percent. I don’t know what happened to him. He’s refused to take the fight to the establishment like Tulsi continues to do.”
Tulsi Gabbard endorsed Bernie Sanders for president in 2016, but raised eyebrows this week by endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden for the 2020 presidential race.
Despite supporting universally progressive policy positions, Gabbard has repeatedly been viciously attacked by left-wing media and many power players within the Democratic party, ranging from false accusations that she is a “right-wing nationalist” to the idiotic claim by 2016’s failed DNC nominee Hillary Clinton that Gabbard was a puppet of Putin and Assad.
The Democratic establishment is not the only quarter from which Gabbard has faced vicious attacks. Supporters of Bernie Sanders have also regurgitated the establishment’s attacks against her, despite Gabbard’s support of Sanders and alignment with many of Sanders’ policy positions.
The claim that Bernie Sanders is a weak candidate who gets advice from bad people is not new, in fact, in January top-level Sanders campaign field organizer Kyle Jurek was recorded on video by Project Veritas saying that Sanders is a “bad judge of character” who is prone to heeding advice from corrupt establishment sources.
National File reached out to Jai Gabbard for comment about the screenshot.
Jai Gabbard confirmed that he made the comment, and later deleted it. Gabbard stressed that he has never been involved with his sister’s campaign, and does not have firsthand knowledge of her relationship with Sanders.


nationalfile--2020-03-19--Wikipedia Debates Whether to Rename Spanish Flu ‘1918 Influenza Pandemic’

Last Updated on March 19, 2020
Wikipedia is debating whether to rename the Spanish Flu to the “1918 Influenza Pandemic,” a clear reaction to the Chinese Virus/Coronavirus argument.
President Trump has recently taken to referring to the coronavirus outbreak, also known as Covid-19, as the “Chinese Virus,” and has been accused of racism and xenophobia for doing so.
A common response to the leftists accusing him of bigotry is to point out that the Spanish Flu is the most common name for the flu outbreak that took place after the end of the First World War – so, of course, this is being retconned.
On the Talk page for the “Spanish Flu” Wikipedia article, there is a raging debate going on as to whether to rename the page to the “1918 Influenza Pandemic.”
Some commentors claimed that the name “Spanish Flu” is racist, just as “Chinese Flu” is racist, with others swearing that they definitely hadn’t referred to the pandemic as the “Spanish Flu” before, honest, and one who even claimed that it was a “right wing conspiracy theory” that people knew the name change was due to the coronavirus:
“It is well established today that this flu was neither originated nor particularly spread in Spain. Furthermore, it is also well established that naming pandemias after regions is misleading (from a mechanistic point of view) and also stigmatizing. Why not having then the official name 1918 flu as the primary article name which other names redirect to?”
“The other context I see is that the term ‘Spanish flu’ is a product of a historical and more prejudiced era trying to apply blame to a culture. The Spanish–American War was just before this and there was still American intent to blame Spanish for anything bad.”
“1918-19 flu pandemic is a well-used and well-recognised term, very possibly the most-used and the most-recognised term. I suspect Spanish flu could actually be the less well-known name in the UK; maybe I’m an exception but I don’t think I heard the term ‘Spanish flu’ for a long time after I knew about the event.”
well-known name in the UK; maybe I’m an exception but I don’t think I heard the term ‘Spanish flu’ for a long time after I knew about the event.” “Not that it matters, but I actually knew this in passing as the 1918 pandemic; I only became aware that it was also called the Spanish flu recently (during the current COVID-19 pandemic).”
“Support, for the same reason we should consider renaming towns/rivers with prejudicial names.”
“It is simply irresponsible to call this the stigmatic name when alternatives exist and are overwhelmingly used by reliable sources. We should also include a ‘Right wing conspiracy theory’ section that addresses the debunked claim being repeated here that the name is only being changed because of COVID-19. I can find us some sources that identify the origin of this conspiracy theory as a bad faith attempt to mask the sinophobia of the Trump administration by comparing it to terms that have been defunct for decades.”

Many other Wikipedia editors knew exactly what was going on however, and fought back:
“As Wikieditors are trying to literally change the history in this encyclopedia to prevent (or they hope to prevent) contemporaries from calling the current crisis the “Wuhan” or “China coronavirus” epidemic. An encyclopedia is no place for this retconning nonsense. Shame on you, and on what you’ve done in the coronavirus article.
“I have heard this term a couple of times in my life, all of which were in the last week. Every other time this phenomenon has been referred to it is under the title ‘Spanish Flu.’ The concept that this terminology that dates to a century ago is somehow inadequate is a farce being pushed by people who are interested mostly in politics, not in medicine, history, or medical history.”
“I’m sure you haven’t actually met someone who has a stigmatized view of Spanish people because a virus is colloquially named after it, as many viruses are.”
“This would be a totally pointless move, the pandemic is widely known as the Spanish flu, the only reason this is being proposed is because of modern political controversies, which are totally irrelevant to Wikipedia.”
“We wouldn’t be here if Wuhan coronavirus wasn’t in the title of the original name of the article everyone’s reading these days. Changing this article title at this time is dangerous to the entire Wikipedia project: how far will the newspeak project go?”
“Why the sudden interest in moving this now? The only reason I can see for the timing is that it is support the Chinese Communist Party propaganda. The World Health Organisation went along with renaming the Wuhan Coronavirus COVID-19 because the People’s Republic of China is one of their major donors. Is wikipedia also bought and paid for?”

It’s not just Wikipedia that is guilty of this. Leftists and Democrats across the board are attempting to rename the Spanish Flu in a thinly veiled attack at President Trump.
A memo from the Joe Biden campaign referred to the Spanish Flu as “the 1918 flu pandemic,” a New York Times columnist said it wasn’t “fair or accurate to call the 1918 pandemic the Spanish Flu,” and a Washington Examiner reporter said calling it the Spanish Flu was “racist and foreshadowed American nativism,” to give just a few examples.

It wasn't fair or accurate to call the 1918 pandemic the Spanish flu, but that's what it's now called (except in Spain, where it's "the 1918 flu pandemic"). But a deliberate effort to rename Covid-19 as the "Chinese virus" strikes me as an exercise in xenophobia and scapegoating. https://t.co/PDWgUE8NFX — Nicholas Kristof (@NickKristof) March 17, 2020

VIDEO: Journo Asks ‘What Do You Say to Americans,’ Trump Replies ‘I’d Say You’re a Terrible Reporter’

`` Let me just tell you something , that 's really bad reporting , and you ought to get back @ @

Last Updated on March 20, 2020
Video footage from Friday’s coronavirus press conference shows President Donald Trump having a sharp retort for an agitated journalist demanding “What do you say to the American people?”
The video shows Trump trying to call on a reporter named “John,” but being repeatedly interrupted by another journalist yelling, “What do you say to Americans who are scared, I guess, two hundred dead, fourteen thousand who are sick, millions, as you witnessed, who are scared right now. What do you say right now to the people who are scared?”
President Trump glowers at the man from behind the podium, shakes his head slightly, and says, “I’d say that you’re a terrible reporter, that’s what I say.”
The President added, “I think that’s a very nasty question, and I think that’s a very bad signal you’re putting out to the American people. The American people are looking for answers and they’re looking for hope. And you’re doing sensationalism, the same thing with NBC and Comcast, I don’t call it Comcast, I call it Con-Cast.”
The reporter tries to interrupt again, and President Trump says, “Let me just tell you something, that’s really bad reporting, and you ought to get back to reporting instead of sensationalism, let’s see if it works, it, and it might not, I happen to feel good about it, but who knows. I’ve been right a lot. Let’s see what happens. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.”

Last Updated on March 20, 2020
During a time of uncertainty for Americans, thieves continue to steal goods that they will most likely end up re-selling.
While the state of California has shut down leaving hard working Americans temporarily jobless without an income, criminals continue to steal from the few business that remain open knowing they will suffer no consequences.
https://twitter.com/DC_Draino/status/1240787113442004992
For years, criminals have been taking advantage of California’s Proposition 47, which downgraded multiple crimes such as shoplifting, grand theft, receiving stolen property, forgery, and fraud.
As long as the value of the goods is under $950, then there is no felony. Thieves may do this every day and suffer limited consequences and if they are apprehended, law enforcement is not allowed to take DNA samples.
If apprehended, the most the criminal would face would be a few days in a jail, then released back out to the public where they will most likely continue to commit crimes knowing they have a get out of jail card with no expiration date.
With these laws in place, it is uncertain how long businesses will survive in California when they lose thousands of dollars every month due to the fact that their products are snatched off their shelves on a daily basis.

Last Updated on March 20, 2020
Georgia establishment Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler is trying to explain away her insider trading scandal amid revelations that she dumped up to $3.1 million in stock immediately after getting briefed on the incoming Coronavirus pandemic threat — and likely stock market collapse — in a January 24 committee briefing for senators.
Loeffler’s explanation does not meet the threshold of credibility.
As reporter Sam Stein observed, “She had NO stock transactions reported at all prior to the very day of the briefing…Her portfolio sold 19 stocks and only bought 2…The stocks she did buy were in telecom, which stood to benefit from millions of people being forced to WFH (work from home).”
Loeffler is garnering even more heat now, including from the Right. Loeffler is running against President Trump’s original choice for her Senate seat, Rep. Doug Collins, in the current Georgia Senate primary. America First Republican U.S. House candidate Mark Gonsalves called Friday for Loeffler to resign.

California Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California and Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler of Georgia and Richard Burr of North Carolina are implicated in the Coronavirus insider trading scandal. Each of these senators dumped stock after obtaining inside briefing information on the Coronavirus outbreak, which they knew would likely become a public health and economic catastrophe, tanking the stock market.
#LockThemAllUp was trending on Twitter as news surfaced about the senators’ shockingly cynical manipulations.
As a journalist, I was instrumental in Georgia governor Brian Kemp’s victory over Stacey Abrams in the gubernatorial race when I busted Abrams’ vote-stealing tactics and shady factors favoring her including shenanigans in Fulton County where a massive number of duplicate ballots surfaced and non-citizens were trying to vote.
Kemp then betrayed the tea party and appointed establishment oligarch Loeffler, wife of the CEO of the company that owns the New York Stock Exchange, to the open U.S. Senate seat over conservative Doug Collins, who is running for the Senate currently against Loeffler.
“People are losing their jobs, their businesses, their retirements, and even their lives and Kelly Loeffler is profiting off their pain? I’m sickened just thinking about it,” Rep. Doug Collins said in a statement provided to National File.
The Daily Beast reports: “The Senate’s newest member sold off seven figures’ worth of stock holdings in the days and weeks after a private, all-senators meeting on the novel coronavirus that subsequently hammered U.S. equities.
Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) reported the first sale of stock jointly owned by her and her husband on Jan. 24, the very day that her committee, the Senate Health Committee, hosted a private, all-senators briefing from administration officials, including the CDC director and Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on the coronavirus.
“Appreciate today’s briefing from the President’s top health officials on the novel coronavirus outbreak,” she tweeted about the briefing at the time.
That first transaction was a sale of stock in the company Resideo Technologies valued at between $50,001 and $100,000. The company’s stock price has fallen by more than half since then, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average overall has shed approximately 10,000 points, dropping about a third of its value.”

nationalfile--2020-03-20--Left-Wing Journos Whine About Doctor-Advised Social Distancing, Say It Causes ‘White Nationalism’

Rolling Stone and the SPLC are complaining that social distancing could lead to `` online extremism ''

Last Updated on March 20, 2020
As the global economy and the lives of working class families are upended and threatened by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, left-wing media and antifascist propagandists are trying to convince people that the real threat is not the virus or societal upheaval, but “white nationalism.”
Rolling Stone, the publication that peddled and later retracted the publicly debunked Duke lacrosse team and Emma “Mattress Girl” Sulkowicz fake rape stories, decided to publish an article on Wednesday titled “How Social Distancing Could Lead to a Spike in White Nationalism.”
Social distancing is the practice of nonpharmaceutical control actions that are integral to slowing the spread of contagious disease, such as staying home and away from close proximity to other people.
Social distancing has been universally recommended by epidemiologists and doctors as the most effective method to contain the pandemic and save the lives of those most vulnerable, but Rolling Stone appears to be concerned that social distancing could lead to a rise in wrongthink and unfashionable opinions.
In the article – which relies heavily on the “findings” of the legally embattled fringe-left Southern Poverty Law Center – writer EJ Dickson says, “Anti-extremism experts are ‘quite concerned’ about hateful rhetoric spiking in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic — not just because of a rise in anti-Asian sentiment related to the virus, but also due to people in self-quarantine being more exposed to extremist movements online.”
As the numbers of hospitalizations and level of public unrest grows by the day, Rolling Stone focuses on “anti-Semitic sentiment” that it claims is “widespread in the midst of the pandemic.”
The article also references “conspiracy theories about COVID-19’s origin centering on Jewish philanthropist George Soros” and concerns “about the impact the COVID-19 pandemic would have on hate groups’ ability to recruit and radicalize new members.”
Since being published earlier this week, the Rolling Stone piece was shared on Twitter by antifa accounts and verified left-wing journalist accounts.
Doctors have warned that countersignalling the need for social distancing could lead to a much more dangerous virus scenario, such as that seen in Italy and Spain.


nationalfile--2020-03-21--Democrats Move to Suppress Gun Rights as Coronavirus Outbreak Intensifies

Some state and local governments are working to suppress their citizens ' Second Amendment rights .

Last Updated on March 21, 2020
Just as toilet paper and hand sanitizer are flying off the shelves of America’s grocery stores, guns and ammunition are flying off the shelves of America’s gun stores.
As local governments begin telling residents to remain at home, and states, alongside the federal government, explore options for implementing widespread lockdowns, fears of natural disaster-style looting and crime sprees have escalated.
Americans’ demands for guns and ammunition have picked the shelves of many gun stores clean, with some state and local governments responding by ordering the stores to close and even banning the sale of firearms, and the issuing of carry permits.
In New Orleans, Louisiana, Mayor LaToya Cantrell, a Democrat, signed a March 11th emergency declaration giving herself the power to ban not just the sale, but the transportation of firearms. Five days later, she amended the declaration to include the sale of alcohol.
Mayor Cantrell is “empowered, if necessary, to suspend or limit the sale of alcoholic beverages, firearms, explosives, and combustibles,” the declaration reads.
Even those with already existing carry permits would be forbidden from carrying their firearm in the city and could face criminal charges if they are to do so.
Cantrell’s order harkens back to some of the darkest days in New Orleans’ history when, in 2005, then-Mayor Ray Nagin issued a similar order, leading to the confiscation of legally owned firearms from American citizens.
“No one will be allowed to be armed,” former Police Superintendent P. Edwin Compass III said at the time. “Guns will be taken. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns.”
Compass meant what he said, and on September 7th, 2005, now-infamous video footage was recorded of officers slamming a 67-year-old woman named Patricia Konie to the ground – in her own home – breaking her shoulder, for the crime of legally owning a firearm in New Orleans.
Similar to the New Orleans declaration, the Democrat Mayor of Champaign, Illinois, Deborah Frank Feinen, has empowered herself to not only ban the sale of firearms and ammunition but to seize private property from city residents.
In Pennsylvania, gun sales have so skyrocketed that the state’s background check system – operated by the State Police – crashed.
That was before Democrat Governor Tom Wolf ordered all “non-essential” businesses – including gun stores – to close, prompting a lawsuit from the Firearms Policy Coalition.
“Weapons and ammunition retailers are one of the most essential business types in the United States,” Brandon Combs, the FPC’s President told the Washington Free Beacon.
“There is no ‘except in emergencies’ clause in the Constitution and the federal government cannot shut down the people’s right to keep and bear arms.”
Additionally, the City of Philadelphia, as well as at least seven Pennsylvania counties, have suspended the issuing of carry permits, leaving as many as 1,900 permit applicants in Philadephia alone, high and dry in a time of widespread panic.
While those already licensed to carry a firearm are permitted to continue doing so, those whose applications were not yet approved when the permit divisions were shut down may be charged with a 3rd-degree felony if caught carrying.
While the Philadelphia PD is delaying arrests on narcotics offenses, prostitution, and burglary due to the pandemic, Inspector Sekou Kinebrew, a department spokesman, says that officers will continue to arrest anyone caught carrying a firearm without a permit.
At least one gun store in California, where Americans have gotten a sneak peek of what may be to come, has been closed by police so far.
After a long line formed at the Bullseye Bishop gun shop in San Jose, police arrived on the scene to shut it down. “We went out there and closed it,” said Police Chief Eddie Garcia. “A lot of this stuff is going to happen.”
