Well, that’s very sad news. I’m sure the majority of our readers didn’t agree with his political policies in his latter years as a Democratic congressman, but I think we can all respect the man for being a leader in the Civil Rights movement. Here’s some of his remarkable life:
Lewis has been on the front lines of the fight for democracy for most of his life. Born on Feb. 21, 1940, to sharecroppers outside of Troy, Alabama, Lewis grew up attending segregated public schools. After watching the activism that sparked the Montgomery bus boycott and hearing the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words on the radio, Lewis was inspired to join the civil rights movement and fought for voting rights ever since. As a college student attending Fisk University, Lewis helped organize peaceful sit-in protests at segregated lunch counters in Nashville, Tennessee. At age 21, he volunteered to be a Freedom Rider — one of the activists who risked their lives challenging segregation throughout the South by sitting in seats reserved for white people. (The protest was inspired by Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her bus seat for a white man in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955.) Lewis helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and became its chairman during the peak of the civil rights movement from 1963 to 1966. Lewis organized student activism in the movement through SNCC and was eventually considered one of the “Big Six” leaders of the civil rights movement, alongside King. At 23, Lewis was one of the organizers of and the youngest keynote speaker at the March on Washington in August 1963. He helped launch voter registration drives during the Mississippi Freedom Summer in 1964, yet another example of his determination to bring voting rights to Black people. Lewis often faced violent consequences for his civil rights leadership. He was repeatedly arrested and beaten by police and angry mobs for challenging Jim Crow segregation in the South and fighting for voting rights. Alabama state troopers fractured Lewis’ skull in March 1965 while he led more than 600 peaceful demonstrators in a voting rights protest across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, during what became known as Bloody Sunday. Media coverage of the cruelty during Bloody Sunday ― and the subsequent successful Selma march in which Lewis walked alongside King ― helped usher in the passage of the Voting Rights Act that year.

Jemele Hill says blacks don’t call out anti-Semitism because they’re afraid of being called back-stabbers

In a really interesting interview with Jemele Hill , the lady who got in trouble with ESPN for calling Trump a white supremacist , she admits that blacks are afraid to call out the anti-Semitism of people like Nick Cannon and other black celebrities and sports figures because they don ’ t want to appear to go against the black empowerment movement .
Her comments come at about the 6 minute mark : I want to be careful here because she does not ever say black lives matter movement .
She is very nebulous about what it is that blacks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anti-Semitism .
But it ’ s clear that they are afraid of many people in the black community who simply oppose the interests of the Jewish community and that of the black community .
To her credit , during the interview , Jemele Hill admits that ESPN was right to suspend her for her own comments that offended the Jews .
And the entire point of the segment is for Hill and Don Lemon to say that black people need to call out hatred no matter who it is aimed at .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , even Lemon admits that the black community freaks out if he even talks about anti-Semitism and they start attacking him and accusing him of being the black struggle .

I don’t think many people understand just how much of New York state has nothing to do with New York City, and how much those people out there hate everything radiating out the Big Apple and the liberals that rule the state. Case in point, some upstate New York bars are getting very clever to get around Cuomo’s lockdown order.
So. For those not into the whole “watching videos” thing, there are bars that are now adding “Cuomo chips” as a charge to every bar bill so that they can be in compliance with Cuomo’s order that a bar can stay open as long as they serve food. This is MEANT to apply to restaurant/bars, but defiant bars are cleverly finding a workaround.

In the video she proudly says that she wants to abolish the “ militarized police state , ” and then adds that she wants to abolish “ the United States as we know it !

It doesn ’ t take much to change the country “ as we know it , ” either @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we can take it in the context that she probably means violently and completely abolishing .
I mean , look at this profile of the doofus I found : Sinclair , 25 , is an activist who works with with the workers ’ rights group Portland Jobs With Justice .
( That group is not directly connected to organizing the past week ’ s protests . )
Sinclair , who wishes to be referred to by the gender pronouns they and them , has been involved in activism for years , including volunteering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2018 .
Sinclair was an organizer of a march May 31 that drew thousands of demonstrators .
During Sunday ’ s rally , they led the group of over 1,000 demonstrators from Laurelhurst Park in Northeast Portland to downtown at the Justice Center .

“ We ’ re here to dismantle , defund and completely destroy the police.
” WW asked them about defying the pleas from city officials to stay off the streets .
TESS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she says she approves of violence : And some more word salad communist gobbledygook : For me , I can not look at and will not look at these moments and these movements that are happening right now—we ’ re living through history—as riots .

So yes , she ’ s nuts and dangerous , and people applaud this absurd hysteria…

Side note – some people say she’s a “sex worker” which is a euphemism for prostitute, but I couldn’t confirm that, so I hope people aren’t just making that up.
Now, to be fair, any time you add “as we know it,” it’s a huge qualifier that severely lessens the impact of your statement because, I mean, things change all the time. It doesn’t take much to change the country “as we know it,” either good or bad. BUT… I think we can take it in the context that she probably means violently and completely abolishing.

TESS RISKI.
And… in the accompanying interview she says she approves of violence:
Both forms of protest—both the most militant and destructive, and the other [non-destructive] approach—are valid. I think that it’s inappropriate for us to criticize the way that people grieve and heal from their trauma.
And some more word salad communist gobbledygook:
For me, I cannot look at and will not look at these moments and these movements that are happening right now—we’re living through history—as riots. Instead, what they actually are, are the uprisings that the U.S. and every other imperialist and capitalist, racist and oppressive system has seen across history. There only comes a certain level to which you can ask large and vast numbers of people to sacrifice their literal health, lives and sanity for the capitalist system that will not provide for them and will also exploit their labor for the protection of the continual padding of the pockets of the 1 percent.

According to that report 14 protesters arrested by police and another 4 protesters were hurt. You may be wondering how 14 officers were hurt – check out this insane video showing the entire crowd throwing projectiles at the police:
At the end someone throws a lit firework at them that goes off on the ground. When that many people are trying to assault and injure the police, I don’t see why people are upset that they use force against them. If you stay in that mob while it’s acting that way, you’re tacitly approving of the assault on the police. And if the police back down, it’s giving in to mob rule.

Democrat Sen. Feinstein wants to withhold pandemic relief money from states without a mandatory mask order

Of course it takes a Democrat like Sen. Feinstein from my blessed state of California to actually want to punish states without mandatory mask order by withholding coronavirus relief money .
From the Hill : Sen. Dianne Feinstein ( D-Calif. ) called on the Senate on Thursday to support an amendment to the next coronavirus relief bill that would bar states that do not implement mask mandates from receiving stimulus funding .
In a statement from the senator ’ s office , Feinstein announced her intention to introduce the amendment and stated that it was time for Congress to step @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mandates to stop the virus from spreading .

therightscoop--2020-07-19--CDC admits big mistake in compiling and reporting official coronavirus cases

So the CDC is now admitting that they screwed up with a technical issue about compiling and reporting the official count of coronavirus cases .
From the Hill : The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) acknowledged Thursday that it is combining the results from viral and antibody COVID-19 tests when reporting the country ’ s testing totals , despite marked differences between the tests .
First reported by NPR ’ s WLRN station in Miaimi , the practice has drawn ire from U.S. health experts who say combining the tests inhibits the agency ’ s ability @ @ @ @ @ @ @ testing capacity .
“ You ’ ve got to be kidding me , ” Ashish Jha , director of the Harvard Global Health Institute , told The Atlantic .
“ How could the CDC make that mistake ?
This is a mess.
” I know a lot of people are going to make a big deal out of this , but I have to admit that I don ’ t even understand why that ’ s such a big issue , and I doubt many of the people who are angry about this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that .
Anyway , more : Viral tests — commonly referred to as PCR tests as most of them use a process known as polymerase chain reaction — are used by health professionals to determine whether or not a person is currently infected with the disease .
During the pandemic , viral tests have been the most effective way of being able to diagnose a positive case of COVID-19 .
They are what state governments have been counting to track the number of confirmed cases of the virus they have .
Antibody , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ purpose .
Unlike viral tests that are taken by nose swab or saliva sample , antibody tests examine a person ’ s blood to see if their immune system has created antibodies to combat COVID-19 .
These tests allow doctors to see if someone has previously been exposed to the virus .
As the push for widespread testing in the U.S. has strengthened , antibody tests have been widely produced , many experts have balked at saying that antibodies equate to immunity from COVID-19 .
Serology tests are also less accurate than PCR @ @ @ @ @ @ @ false negative .
So , a false negative means that they would report someone didn ’ t have coronavirus in the past , when they did have in the past , thus lessening the number of actual cases .
Lessening .

So there you go .
Make of that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it for Saturday , we hope you ’ re having a good one .
Have an open thread you lucky people .
Here ’ s some comment fodder :

So the CDC is now admitting that they screwed up with a technical issue about compiling and reporting the official count of coronavirus cases. From the Hill:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledged Thursday that it is combining the results from viral and antibody COVID-19 tests when reporting the country’s testing totals, despite marked differences between the tests. First reported by NPR’s WLRN station in Miaimi, the practice has drawn ire from U.S. health experts who say combining the tests inhibits the agency’s ability to discern the country’s actual testing capacity. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, told The Atlantic. “How could the CDC make that mistake? This is a mess.”
I know a lot of people are going to make a big deal out of this, but I have to admit that I don’t even understand why that’s such a big issue, and I doubt many of the people who are angry about this do either, so there’s that. Anyway, more:
Viral tests — commonly referred to as PCR tests as most of them use a process known as polymerase chain reaction — are used by health professionals to determine whether or not a person is currently infected with the disease. During the pandemic, viral tests have been the most effective way of being able to diagnose a positive case of COVID-19. They are what state governments have been counting to track the number of confirmed cases of the virus they have. Antibody, or serology, tests serve a different purpose. Unlike viral tests that are taken by nose swab or saliva sample, antibody tests examine a person’s blood to see if their immune system has created antibodies to combat COVID-19. These tests allow doctors to see if someone has previously been exposed to the virus. As the push for widespread testing in the U.S. has strengthened, antibody tests have been widely produced, many experts have balked at saying that antibodies equate to immunity from COVID-19. Serology tests are also less accurate than PCR tests, increasing the chances for a false negative.
So, a false negative means that they would report someone didn’t have coronavirus in the past, when they did have in the past, thus lessening the number of actual cases. Lessening.
Somehow, people like this guy think this proves Fauci is cooking the books.
Everybody laughed when I said the CDC and Fauci were cooking the books. Some rando loser with a dumb hat even went so far as to question the veracity of my predictions. Let's see what the numbers are after all the cheating has been factored out. https://t.co/UkOD8seDP6 — New York City Guns (Parler: @NYCG) (@NewYorkCityGuns) July 19, 2020
Cooking the books to lessen the numbers of positives? That’s a bold strategy, let’s see if it works out.
But it sounds like the issue is that you’re basically comparing apples and oranges. Or grapes and bananas. Or potatoes and potah-toes. To wit:
Moreover, a negative test means different things for either test. A negative PCR test indicates to physicians that the patient isn’t currently ill with the disease. But, a negative serology test means that the patient has most likely not been exposed to or infected with COVID-19. “The viral testing is to understand how many people are getting infected, while antibody testing is like looking in the rearview mirror. The two tests are totally different signals,” Jha told The Atlantic. In a statement, CDC spokeswoman Kristen Nordlund told The Hill that when the agency began to track coronavirus testing, viral tests were far more commonly used nationwide than serology testing. “Now that serology testing is more widely available, CDC is working to differentiate those tests from the viral tests and will report this information, differentiated by test type, publicly on our COVID Data Tracker website in the coming weeks,” she said.
Finally…
“I suspect it will artificially lower the percent positive,” Caitlin Rivers, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told NPR.
So there you go. Make of that what you will.

therightscoop--2020-07-19--Kentucky couple under house arrest with ankle bracelets because they refused to quarantine

Woah woah woah , what the heck is happening in Kentucky ?
!
I ’ d expect this out of California , New York , or North Korea , but not Kentucky : A Kentucky couple says they were placed under house arrest and fitted with ankle bracelets after they refused to sign a self-quarantine order over a positive coronavirus test .
Elizabeth Linscott of Radcliff said she got tested for COVID-19 as a precaution because she was planning to visit her family in Michigan , news station WAVE reported .
The next day , she received a positive along @ @ @ @ @ @ @ containing a form to sign , The News-Enterprise reported .
The document asked that she check in daily with her symptoms , self-isolate and let officials know if she has to seek hospital treatment .
SO far so good , but then here ’ s the turn : But Linscott said she opted not to sign because she worried about whether she would have time to contact health officials in the event of a health emergency .
“ My part was if I have to go to the ER , if I have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ m not going to wait to get the approval to go , ” Linscott told WAVE .
Hmmm .
Not sure about that one , but people are free , mostly , to give poor excuses for their behavior .
It ’ s in the Constitution .
Anyway , here ’ s how officials reacted : But on Thursday , Linscott ’ s husband , Isaiah , was greeted by local authorities at the front door of their home .
“ I open up the door and there ’ s like eight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ I ’ m like what the heck ’ s going on ?
” “ This guy ’ s in a suit with a mask , it ’ s the health department guy and he has three different papers for us .
For me , her and my daughter.
” The couple was placed under house arrest for two weeks and ordered to wear ankle monitors that will notify law enforcement if they travel more than 200 feet from the property , the reports said .
Damn .
That ’ s pretty heavy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would face if they violated the order .
This is the best part though : “ Lincoln Trail District Health Department declined to comment on the matter , citing the privacy of the family.
” Uhm… they ’ re talking to the media , so I ’ m guessing their privacy isn ’ t an issue anymore ?
The Associated Press couldn ’ t get anyone to talk either : There you go .
I ’ d definitely like to see the legal justification for this , though I ’ m not gon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrong or right according to my political tastes or affiliation .
All I know is ankle monitors are sooper-annoying .
Especially when they make you wear two of them .
Don ’ t ask how I know .
I ’ ve probably said too much already .

There you go. I’d definitely like to see the legal justification for this, though I’m not gonna simply assume that it’s wrong or right according to my political tastes or affiliation.

He challenges Biden to take it and says Chris Wallace would definitely not be able to answer the last questions.
In this one Wallace uses one measure for covid mortality while the White House uses a different measure for covid mortality:
"Ready? Will you please get me the mortality rate?

therightscoop--2020-07-19--Missouri governor defends McCloskeys’ actions against BLM mob, says he will pardon them

The governor of Missouri is firmly on the side of the McCloskeys and their brandishing of weapons against the mob of Black Lives Matter that broke into their property in St. Louis .
From the Hill : Speaking on “ The Marc Cox Morning Show ” on 97.1 FM in St. Louis , [ Missouri Gov .
Mike ] Parson was asked about an investigation circuit attorney Kim Gardner launched into Mark and Patricia McCloskey .
The two were seen in widely shared footage from June pointing guns at a group of protesters who were walking down their street as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claimed in a police report that they felt threatened by the demonstrators and feared that they would assault them or destroy their property .
But Gardner said that she would look into the events , noting at the outset of her probe that “ we will not tolerate the use of force against those exercising their First Amendment rights.
” Parson strongly pushed back against the impetus for the investigation , saying that the McCloskeys “ did what they legally should do.
” “ A mob does not have the right to charge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to protect themselves , ” he said .
That ’ s definitely true .
I think initially people like me were uneasy about the case because it was unclear if the protesters were just in the neighborhood , which would be legal if it were public property , or if they were on their personal property , which would be illegal .
Clearly , the McCloskeys have the right to defend their property when people break through their gate , even if liberals agree with the political agenda of the protesters .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them if they faced charges : Asked whether he would consider a pardon if charges were filed , Parsons said , “ I think that ’ s exactly what would happen.

That seems very fair – he even allows for the possibility that there may be other facts in evidence he doesn ’ t know about that may sway the decision either way .
But , given what we know now , it just doesn ’ t seem fair to the McCloskeys to press charges when all they were doing were defending their home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that we would defend the rule of law whether it serves our partisan political agenda or not…

Here’s a perfect example of the dumb traps that Democrats and the media set up for Trump. After John Lewis died there were plenty of statements and tweets from every politician to pay their respects. But, the Congressional Black caucus demanded that Trump NOT say anything:
.@realDonaldTrump while the nation mourns the passing of a national hero, please say nothing. Please don’t comment on the life of Congressman Lewis. Your press secretary released a statement, leave it at that. Please let us mourn in peace. — Congressmember Bass (@RepKarenBass) July 18, 2020
That is California Congresswoman Karen Bass, the chair of the 55-member, all-Black coalition in Congress. So OK, clearly that is politicized in an attempt to denigrate the president.
But then, simultaneously, there’s these idiots trying to shame him into saying something:

Also, he waited too long:

And… nothing he ever said could be good ever at all:

So, he shouldn’t have said anything, also he should have said something, and he waited too long to say something, but nothing he said could have been sufficient. Now, did the media ever put Obama in such a no-win situation? LOL! The very suggestion is laughable…

Drew Brees , Russell Wilson and other NFL stars voiced their concerns that the NFL wasn ’ t doing enough to protect them for the coming season by tweeting under the hashtag , “ we want to play.
” Wow .
That ’ s kind of a big deal .
If the players are calling out the NFL just a few weeks before training camp , then how can the fans be assured that the NFL is going to protect them in the stands ?
This is making me think that the season is in more peril than the NFL @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that ’ s too bad because the Buffalo Bills were definitely going to win the Super Bowl this year .
Have an open thread , here ’ s some comment fodder to get your intellectual brain-juices flowing : I will neither confirm nor deny the allegations leveled in the above tweet , it ’ s just kinda funny .
This is very accurate , but you can ’ t accuse the next generation of being snowflakes without pointing at least some of the blame to the parents from the generation before them .

We need Football! We need sports! We need hope! The NFL’s unwillingness to follow the recommendations of their own medical experts will prevent that. If the NFL doesn’t do their part to keep players healthy there is no football in 2020. It’s that simple. Get it done @NFL — Drew Brees (@drewbrees) July 19, 2020
I am concerned.
My wife is pregnant.@NFL Training camp is about to start.. And there’s still No Clear Plan on Player Health & Family Safety. 🤷🏾 We want to play football but we also want to protect our loved ones. #WeWantToPlay — Russell Wilson (@DangeRussWilson) July 19, 2020
I want to play ball this year! But we are going to need the @NFL to make sure they are listening to everyone and taking the steps for the players and their families to be safe! #WeWantToPlay — Derek Carr (@derekcarrqb) July 19, 2020
I SECOND THIS! How has the @NFL had this long to prep but still have NO real plan in place? We are less than 10 days before we are REQUIRED to report! I refuse to put my pregnant wife/family at risk w/o understanding exactly what the plan for our safety & well being will be. https://t.co/bepNjRiml0 — DeMarcus Lawrence (@TankLawrence) July 19, 2020
It’s a shame that the @nfl doesn’t care about doing their part to keep players healthy and safe. They need to make sure football can come back the right way. We have to look out for ourselves as well as our families. #WeWantToPlay — AD_99 (@AaronDonald97) July 19, 2020
It’s crazy to hear the NFL has yet to address major health and safety issues with training camp being 2 weeks away. We want to play football. Make it happen @NFL. Keep us safe!#WeWantToPlay — Kyler Murray (@K1) July 19, 2020
Once again in the interest of keeping everyone (players & fans) as informed as possible, here is an updated list of what we as players know and don’t know as the first group gets set to report to training camp tomorrow.#WeWantToPlay pic.twitter.com/xQcjs33zgM — JJ Watt (@JJWatt) July 19, 2020

It blows my mind that the NFL is unwilling to follow the recommendations of their own experts regarding player health and safety. If we want to have a FULL season this year we need the NFL to listen to their experts! #WeWantToPlay pic.twitter.com/q55RpqRzPu — Malcolm Jenkins (@MalcolmJenkins) July 19, 2020
You want to watch football this year? Us players need to remain healthy in order to make that happen. The @NFL needs to do their part in order to bring football back safely in 2020. #WeWantToPlay — Todd Gurley II (@TG3II) July 19, 2020
If the NFL doesn’t do their part to keep players healthy there is no football in 2020. It’s that simple. #WeWantToPlay — Myles Garrett ⚡ (@MylesLGarrett) July 19, 2020
If #AdamSilver can respect the voices and protect his @NBA players why can’t @NFLcommish do the same? Listen to your players. If we want to have a full season it will have to look different with OUR safety as the priority. @NFL make the necessary changes. #WeWantToPlay — DIGGS (@stefondiggs) July 19, 2020
Wow. That’s kind of a big deal. If the players are calling out the NFL just a few weeks before training camp, then how can the fans be assured that the NFL is going to protect them in the stands? This is making me think that the season is in more peril than the NFL is willing to let on. And that’s too bad because the Buffalo Bills were definitely going to win the Super Bowl this year.

Tucker says the New York Times has assigned a political activist named Murray Carpenter to write an article about where he lives now. He says they’ve hired a photographer named Tristan Spinsky to take photos.
Tucker explained what happened the last time a left-wing journalist publicized his address in Washington, saying:
“A group of screaming Antifa lunatics showed up while I was at work. They vandalized our home, they threatened my wife. She called 911 while hiding in a closet. A few weeks later they showed up again at our house. For the next year they sent letters to our home threatening to kill us. We tried to ignore it – it felt cowardly to sell our home and leave. We’d raised our kids there in the neighborhood and we loved it. But in the end, that’s what we did. We have four children; it just wasn’t worth it.”

UPDATE: A Washington Post reporter notes that Murray Carpenter is already getting threatening messages on Twitter. Our own Fred T notes that all Tucker mentioned was his name, not his address:

Curtis Houck from Newsbusters weighs in as well…
#Tucker is exactly right. If something happens to one of his four children, The New York Times won't care. In fact, they'll shrug and call it "collateral damage" or something like that. CNN and MSNBC won't call out this story or condemn the results — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) July 21, 2020
UPDATE: The New York Times issues statement, via Mediaite, claiming they don’t plan on exposing Tucker’s home residence:
“While we do not confirm what may or may publish in future editions, The Times has not and does not plan to expose any residence of Tucker Carlson’s, which Carlson was aware of before tonight’s broadcast.”
I honestly don’t think Tucker would have made such a big issue out of this on his show if it weren’t true, especially given what he’s already been through when this happened to him two years ago. I hope this statement from the Times means that he’s exposed their nonsense and that they are no longer going to put his family in jeopardy. But I fear this isn’t the end of it, and that just like the McCloskeys, he could have a mob on his front lawn any day now. I pray it doesn’t happen.


therightscoop--2020-07-21--Sean Hannity & Tucker Carlson accused of harassment and retaliation against Fox News guest and here’

Sean Hannity & Tucker Carlson accused of harassment and retaliation against Fox News guest and here’s the details…

Fox News guest Cathy Areu , known as the “ liberal sherpa ” , claims that Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson retaliated against her by not inviting her on their shows much after she wouldn ’ t play along with their harassment .
Arue , along with former Fox Business Network associate producer Jennifer Eckhart , are also accusing Ed Henry of sexual misconduct and rape .
Arue , the one I ’ m going to focus on here , is accusing Sean Hannity of trying to get someone to take her on a date after she was ‘ stuck @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ms. Areu was a relatively regular face on The Sean Hannity Show until March 8 , 2018 .
On that day , Mr. Hannity , on set and in front of the entire studio crew – and completely unsolicited – threw $ 100 on the set desk .
He then began calling out to the men in the room and demanding that someone take Ms. Areu out on a date for drinks at Del Friscos .
He repeatedly yelled , “ who wants to take her on a date ?
” “ Take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Ms. Areu was completely mortified and made clear that she was incredibly uncomfortable with Mr. Hannity ’ s misogynistic behavior by quietly pleading with one of her friends in the room to accept the money so that the humiliation would end .
25 .
To make matters worse , Ms. Areu was “ stuck ” and could not even leave because Mr. Hannity engaged in this conduct while she was “ hooked into ” studio equipment that could only have been removed by a stagehand .
26 .
Thankfully , none of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even after he repeatedly chided one particular male employee for being “ afraid to take out a beautiful woman.
” 27 .
The below picture ( in which it is clear that Ms. Areu put on a fake smile ) was taken in the studio that day .
The money ( along with an e-cigarette that Mr. Hannity was smoking before the show ) , are piled together on the left side of the set desk .
28 .
After this incident , and Ms. Areu ’ s failure to “ play along @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , if ever at all , invited back to appear on “ Hannity ” on Fox News Channel .
You know I could almost see Hannity doing something like this in a joking or jovial way , to help a friend out by getting someone to take her out for drinks .
And I don ’ t think , if true , he would mean any harm .
But her claims of ‘ retaliation ’ don ’ t make a lot of sense .
Hannity wasn ’ t trying to get her to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He was trying to get one of his crew to take Arue out for drinks .
So on what basis would he have to retaliate against her ?
Areu is accusing Tucker ’ s crew of ‘ tying ’ her to a chair with her mic cables so he could proposition her for sex after the show was over : 29 .
In 2017 and 2018 , Ms. Areu appeared on a very frequent basis on Tucker Carlson Tonight ( 17 times , at least , in 2018 alone ) .
Ms. Areu @ @ @ @ @ @ @ show was in December 2018 .
That show was filmed live in New York City and Mr. Carlson was in New York City at the studio .
30 .
After Ms. Areu ’ s segment was completed , one of Mr. Carlson ’ s producers or writers whispered in Ms. Areu ’ s ear , while she was on set trying to get out of the chair , and told her that Mr. Carlson wanted her to stay until the very end of the show to chat with him .
Ms. Areu had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carlson ’ s request due to the fact that she was on live television while tied to her chair with a microphone on her that was attached to the chair .
Ms. Areu was also wearing an earpiece that the tech crew refused to take off .
31 .
Mr. Carlson ’ s tech crew refused to undo Ms. Areu ’ s equipment on set therefore she could not leave the chair or studio .
32 .
Following the show , Mr. Carlson changed on set into his leather jacket for the annual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he would only be attending for approximately 10 minutes to , “ make a quick appearance.
” 33 .
Following the show , Mr. Carlson , hardly making any effort to hide his intentions , began telling Ms. Areu that he would be alone in New York City that night , and specifically said that he would be staying alone in his hotel room without any wife or kids .
34 .
Without question , Mr. Carlson was probing to see whether Ms. Areu was interested in a sexual relationship .
Ms. Areu @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and declined to spend the night at his hotel .
Mr. Carlson promptly retaliated against Ms. Areu , who was featured on his show only three times in 2019 and has not appeared once in 2020 .
This sounds more far fetched .
The idea that she was ‘ tied ’ to a chair because she had microphone on her and that Tucker ’ s crew intentionally wouldn ’ t disconnect her so Tucker could talk to her after the show sounds kinda ridiculous .
Also she claims Tucker “ changed on set @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put on a leather jacket .
At which point she said he then propositioned her for a night of sex , since his wife and kids weren ’ t with him .
Of course she wouldn ’ t go along with it , so then she claims he only invited her back on the show a few times .
I ’ m not sure this one passes the smell test , to be honest .

Team Trump has come out with a great new ad hammering Joe Biden over his commitment to the defunding the police.
Watch:
The ad shows an older lady calling 911 as someone tries to break into her home, only to reach an answering service saying the police were unavailable but she could leave a message and they would get back to her.
I’m sure Biden will claim that he doesn’t want to defund the police, but he’s already said on the record that he wants to defund them, at least partially, and redirect that funding to other areas.
And remember, he also said in that same interview that he supports reforms that would send a wellness counselor and a tow truck to deal with Rayshard Brooks instead of sending police.
I’d say this ad is right on the money and I hope it’s as effective as it should be.

Dr. Fauci was praising New York this weekend on PBS Newshour , saying that New York brought cases down ‘ correctly ’ : As you see , Janice Dean simply tweeted that this take by Fauci is garbage .
Because she knows what the rest of us know , that Cuomo killed thousands of elderly people with his horrific policy of sending Covid patients back to the same nursing homes they came from , and it spread like wildfire killing at least 6300 .
