saraacater--2020-10-01--Senate Authorizes Subpoenas for Big Tech CEOs

On Thursday , the Senate Commerce Committee authorized subpoenas for the testimonies of the heads of Facebook , Twitter , Google and its parent company Alphabet Inc. in a rare move amid a contentious election , according to the Wall Street Journal .
Senators cited the need to review Section 230 , which gives these companies legal immunity with regards to controlling the content on their sites , along with privacy and additional issues .
These large social media companies , often pejoratively called “ Big Tech , ” have received increasing criticism over the past few years for issues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and metadata of their users , the spreading of conspiracy theories and misinformation by some users , and what to do about hate speech on the platforms .
Apple , while not a social media platform , is regularly classified , too , as “ Big Tech.
” Holding these corporate giants accountable has made strange bedfellows out of both Republicans and Democrats , especially among their more “ populist ” factions .
The committee voted unanimously to authorize these subpoenas and then debated whether the hearing should take place before or after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats expressed that they think it should happen after , the Republicans , who control the committee , seem likely to move forward with the hearings swiftly .
“ On the eve of a momentous and highly charged election , ” said committee chairman Sen. Roger Wicker ( R-Miss . )
, “ it is imperative that this committee of jurisdiction and the American people receive a full accounting from the heads of these companies about their content moderation practices.
” The subpoenas were necessary , he added , because the CEOs had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ highest-ranked Democrat on the committee , Sen. Maria Cantwell ( D-Wash. ) , agreed to support the measure once the subpoenas ’ intent was expanded to cover privacy concerns , she has some worries .
“ What I don ’ t want to see is a chilling effect on individuals who are in a process of trying to crack down on hate speech and misinformation about Covid during a pandemic , ” she said .
“ The unanimous vote in the Senate shows the bipartisan support for reforming Section 230 , ” said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Commission ( FCC ) in an exclusive comment to this reporter .
“ The momentum now favors the adoption of commonsense reforms that will bring much needed accountability to Big Tech .
I commend Senator Wicker and the Committee for ensuring that these Silicon Valley CEOs will respond to congressional oversight.

After six days , Sen. Wicker announced plans to progress toward authorizing subpoenas , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

On Thursday, the Senate Commerce Committee authorized subpoenas for the testimonies of the heads of Facebook, Twitter, Google and its parent company Alphabet Inc. in a rare move amid a contentious election, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Senators cited the need to review Section 230, which gives these companies legal immunity with regards to controlling the content on their sites, along with privacy and additional issues.
The unanimous vote in the Senate shows the bipartisan support for reforming Section 230,” said Commissioner Brendan Barr of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in an exclusive comment to this reporter.
These large social media companies, often pejoratively called “Big Tech,” have received increasing criticism over the past few years for issues relating to the collection and use privacy and metadata of their users, the spreading of conspiracy theories and misinformation by some users, and what to do about hate speech on the platforms.
Apple, while not a social media platform, is regularly classified, too, as “Big Tech.” Holding these corporate giants accountable has made strange bedfellows out of both Republicans and Democrats, especially among their more “populist” factions.
The committee voted unanimously to authorize these subpoenas and then debated whether the hearing should take place before or after the November 3 election. While some Democrats expressed that they think it should happen after, the Republicans, who control the committee, seem likely to move forward with the hearings swiftly.
“On the eve of a momentous and highly charged election,” said committee chairman Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), “it is imperative that this committee of jurisdiction and the American people receive a full accounting from the heads of these companies about their content moderation practices.”
The subpoenas were necessary, he added, because the CEOs had “declined to participate.”
While the highest-ranked Democrat on the committee, Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), agreed to support the measure once the subpoenas’ intent was expanded to cover privacy concerns, she has some worries. “What I don’t want to see is a chilling effect on individuals who are in a process of trying to crack down on hate speech and misinformation about Covid during a pandemic,” she said.
“The unanimous vote in the Senate shows the bipartisan support for reforming Section 230,” said Commissioner Brendan Barr of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in an exclusive comment to this reporter. “The momentum now favors the adoption of commonsense reforms that will bring much needed accountability to Big Tech. I commend Senator Wicker and the Committee for ensuring that these Silicon Valley CEOs will respond to congressional oversight.”
The committee had originally asked the CEOs on September 18 to testify, according to people familiar with the matter, the Wall Street Journal reports. After six days, Sen. Wicker announced plans to progress toward authorizing subpoenas, which is exceptionally quick by congressional standards. This speediness indicates the committee’s feeling of urgency to get public testimonies out of the “Big Tech” CEOs.
A spokeswoman for the committee, according to the same Journal piece, said that the panel will reach out to the companies again to schedule a hearing and, if the witnesses don’t appear in a timely manner, would formally issue them subpoenas.

saraacater--2020-10-01--Jewish Voices For Trump Co-Chair: ‘Pres. Trump DID condemn white supremacists’

President Donald Trump ’ s decision not to make a full statement on opposing white supremacists during the first presidential debate was met with fiery criticism .
Some of his opponents took the opportunity in the media to argue that his lack of response means he actually supports the hate groups .
Nothing could be further from the truth , stated the Trump Campaign ’ s Strategic Advisor and Jewish Voices for Trump Co-Chair , Boris Epshteyn .
He told this reporter in an exclusive interview Wednesday that Trump condemns white supremacists and the fact was “ clear as day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ’ s comments Tuesday were as follows : “ Sure , I ’ m willing to do that .
But , I would say almost everything I see is from the left wing , not from the right wing… I ’ m willing to do anything .
I want to see peace , ” Trump said in response to Fox News host Chris Wallace , who asked him to condemn white supremacist groups .
Wallace wasn ’ t satisfied with that response , and again pressed Trump .
“ What do you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me a name .
Go ahead , who would you like me to condemn ?
Who , ” Trump then asked Wallace , Wallace specified that Trump should condemn ‘ white supremacists and Proud Boys.
’ “ Proud Boys , stand back and stand by , .
But , I ’ ll tell you what , somebody ’ s got to do something about Antifa and the left because this is not a right wing problem , this is a left wing problem , ” Trump said before Biden interrupted him to clarify @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not an organization , ’ citing FBI Director Christopher Wray ’ s earlier comments .
Epshteyn responded , “ President Trump did condemn white supremacists .
When Chris Wallace asked him that as part of asking whether Joe Biden condemned Antifa , Chris Wallace ended up asking President Trump if he condemns white supremacists and he said yes , he said ‘ sure.
” “ And then Joe Biden jumped in with his mumbo jumbo and really didn ’ t know what day it was I guess… and then even specifically to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stand back , ’ so it ’ s pretty clear where President Trump stands , ” added Epshteyn .
“ It ’ s absolutely clear where he stands .
He ’ s been clear on it for a long time now going back to the Jake Tapper interview and denouncing David Duke and so on and so forth.
” He added , “ President Trump has been clear that he denounces white supremacists and he did that also in his speech about Charlottesville that the left likes to lie about so much , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it all the time .
The President condemned white supremacists then.
” Epshteyn was born in the former Soviet Union .
He and his family escaped communism in the region as Jewish refugees to the United States in 1993 .
He said Trump has championed the fight against antisemitism , which Epshteyn understands personally .
“ I ’ m Jewish and I ’ m proud to work for a president who ’ s done so much to combat antisemitism , signed the Never Again Holocaust Education Act into law , which gave $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country , signed the Just Act into law , which makes it easier for victims of the Holocaust and their descendants to receive restitution and then signed an executive order which absolutely classified antisemitism as a hate crime and enable the federal government , federal agencies to use their full resources to combat antisemitism , and that ’ s just domestically , ” Epshteyn explained .
He continued , “ He ’ s done so much on the international front in terms of standing with the State of Israel , moving the U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that president after president had promised , tearing up the terrible Iran deal , recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel , recognizing the Golan Heights as Israeli territory , and then the historic Abraham Accord .

He continued, “He’s done so much on the international front in terms of standing with the State of Israel, moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, something that president after president had promised, tearing up the terrible Iran deal, recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, recognizing the Golan Heights as Israeli territory, and then the historic Abraham Accord.”
“The President has had so many achievements for the Jewish people, for the State of Israel. To call him anything but a champion of the Jewish people and the State of Israel is an absolute joke and total nonsense.”

saraacater--2020-10-02--ELECTION DECEPTION: Two known swindlers arrested for robocall scheme in Michigan

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed charges Thursday against conservative political so-called operatives Jack Burkman , 54 , and Jacob Wohl , 22 , for allegedly instituting a scheme to bombard residents with robocalls that law enforcement officials said were “ aimed at suppressing the vote in the November general election.
” “ Any effort to interfere with , intimidate or intentionally mislead Michigan voters will be met with swift and severe consequences , ” Nessel said .
“ This effort specifically targeted minority voters in an attempt to deter them from voting in the November election .
We ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caused by the millions of nuisance robocalls flooding our cell phones and landlines each day , but this particular message poses grave consequences for our democracy and the principles upon which it was built , ” Nessel added .
“ Michigan voters are entitled to a full , free and fair election in November and my office will not hesitate to pursue those who jeopardize that.

An investigation uncovered that the calls were made to people who live in urban areas with significant minority populations , the press release stated .
In my opinion , whether you ’ re a Republican or Democrat , any attempt to purposefully deceive voters is wrong .
These two allegedly crossed all kinds of lines of deception .
There are legitimate concerns with universal mail-in-voting but not what Wohl and Burkman stated in their intimidating call to residents .
“ It ’ s believed around 85,000 calls were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the numbers of calls to each city or state are not available , ” the press release stated .
In Michigan , the robocall , which the attorney general made public , is filled with intimidation tactics and could land both of the alleged perpetrators in prison for years , the attorney general said .
“ I this is Tomeka Taylor from Project 1599 civil rights organization founded by Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl , ” it says .
“ Mail in voting sounds great but did you know that if you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be part of a public database that will be used by police departments to track down old warrants and be used by credit card companies to collect outstanding debts the CDC .

The calls were made in late August and went out to nearly 12,000 residents with phone numbers from the 313 area code.
” The recorded robocall message warns people about being “ finessed into giving your private information to the man ” and urges them to “ beware of vote by mail.
” The caller , who claims to be associated with an organization founded by Burkman and Wohl , falsely tells people that mail-in voting , in particular , will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a special database used by police to track down old warrants and by credit card companies to collect outstanding debts .
The caller also deceptively claims the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will use the information to track people for mandatory vaccines .

Information callers may be asked to provide in their complaint @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of when the robocall was received ; • Phone number of the line where the call was received ; • Number displayed on caller ID when the call was received ; • Whether the robocall went to voicemail or was answered live ; • The complainant ’ s recollection of the robocall content and their thoughts about the call ; • Whether the complainant is and has been a Michigan resident for six months or more ; and • Whether the complainant is a registered voter or is eligible to vote .
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evidence to substantiate claims that mail-in ballots lead to fraud , as many states have successfully conducted the process for years .

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed charges Thursday against conservative political so-called operatives Jack Burkman, 54, and Jacob Wohl, 22, for allegedly instituting a scheme to bombard residents with robocalls that law enforcement officials said were “aimed at suppressing the vote in the November general election.”
“Any effort to interfere with, intimidate or intentionally mislead Michigan voters will be met with swift and severe consequences,” Nessel said.
“This effort specifically targeted minority voters in an attempt to deter them from voting in the November election. We’re all well aware of the frustrations caused by the millions of nuisance robocalls flooding our cell phones and landlines each day, but this particular message poses grave consequences for our democracy and the principles upon which it was built,” Nessel added. “Michigan voters are entitled to a full, free and fair election in November and my office will not hesitate to pursue those who jeopardize that.”

LISTEN TO THE ROBOCALL HERE
Moreover, Nessel’s office had communicated with attorneys general offices in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, all of which reported similar robocalls being made to residents. An investigation uncovered that the calls were made to people who live in urban areas with significant minority populations, the press release stated.
In my opinion, whether you’re a Republican or Democrat, any attempt to purposefully deceive voters is wrong. These two allegedly crossed all kinds of lines of deception. There are legitimate concerns with universal mail-in-voting but not what Wohl and Burkman stated in their intimidating call to residents.

Wohl and Burkman’s claims are false. Moreover, the pair are not civil rights advocates.
However, there are other legitimate concerns being raised by opponents of mail-in-voting that are currently being litigated in court rooms across the country.
Laws Wohl and Burkman allegedly broke
One count of election law – intimidating voters, a five-year felony;
One count of conspiracy to commit an election law violation, a five-year felony;
One count of using a computer to commit the crime of election law – intimidating voters, a seven-year felony; and
Using a computer to commit the crime of conspiracy, a seven-year felony.

FROM THE PRESS RELEASE
The recorded robocall message warns people about being “finessed into giving your private information to the man” and urges them to “beware of vote by mail.”
The caller, who claims to be associated with an organization founded by Burkman and Wohl, falsely tells people that mail-in voting, in particular, will allow personal information to become part of a special database used by police to track down old warrants and by credit card companies to collect outstanding debts. The caller also deceptively claims the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will use the information to track people for mandatory vaccines. However, none of that is true.
The Attorney General encourages anyone who received this call on or about Aug. 26 and who wishes to file a complaint about it to contact her office by calling 517-335-7650.
Information callers may be asked to provide in their complaint will include:
Complainant’s name, address and contact information;
Date and time of when the robocall was received;
Phone number of the line where the call was received;
Number displayed on caller ID when the call was received;
Whether the robocall went to voicemail or was answered live;
The complainant’s recollection of the robocall content and their thoughts about the call;
Whether the complainant is and has been a Michigan resident for six months or more; and
Whether the complainant is a registered voter or is eligible to vote.
There is very little, if any, evidence to substantiate claims that mail-in ballots lead to fraud, as many states have successfully conducted the process for years. Michigan has had absentee voting for more than 60 years. In November 2018, Michigan voters overwhelmingly approved Proposal 3, which amended Michigan’s Constitution and gave all Michigan voters the constitutional right to vote by absentee ballot without excuse.

UPDATE:
In a significant turn of events, Attorney General Merrick Garland made a surprising announcement on Friday, elevating Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to the role of special counsel. This decision marks a shift in focus towards the investigation of the Biden family’s financial matters. The probe, which encompasses Hunter Biden’s tax affairs and any potential connections his father, President Joe Biden, might have with his foreign associates, is slated to extend into the 2024 election cycle. Interestingly, this move comes as former President Donald Trump is simultaneously facing two federal indictments from the same department.
Garland stressed that the decision to appoint Weiss as an independent prosecutor aligns with the “public interest” and adheres to departmental regulations. Importantly, this transition was initiated by Weiss himself, who, earlier this week, conveyed his belief that the investigation had reached a point where he should proceed as a special counsel.
Weiss is no stranger to this intricate landscape. He is the federal prosecutor responsible for bringing charges against President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, in Delaware. Recent times have witnessed the unfolding of legal proceedings involving Hunter Biden, including a probation-oriented plea arrangement that was ultimately rejected by a judge. In June, Hunter Biden agreed to a deal with federal prosecutors, admitting guilt in two tax-related offenses and a firearm charge, potentially leading to the dismissal of the latter charge. This latest development underscores the intensification of scrutiny into the financial affairs of the Biden family and highlights the evolving legal landscape involving prominent political figures.
—
Attorney General Merrick Garland will speak to the public Friday afternoon. It is highly anticipated because I believe, as do many others, that he may be getting ready to announce the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate “Hunter Biden” and his financial dealings overseas. Although, welcome there are still too many concerns with the DOJ that need to be addressed and there is little faith among many Americans that anything will be done.
Americans have witnessed the makings and the result of a two tiered justice system since President Trump was elected and then the continuing targeting of Trump even after his term as president.
I’ve spoken about the need for an outside investigation into Hunter Biden and President Biden at length on my podcast, The Sara Carter Show and on Fox News. But I’ve been jaded by the failures of past investigations and the weaponization of the Justice Department to do its job. The failure of the DOJ to be blind and just has been devastating to our nation.
Will Garland appoint a special counsel? I don’t know but as Americans we must demand that our leadership, our bureaucracies and our law makers follow the rule of law without prejudice. If they do not, as we have seen over the past decade with the establishments attacks on President Donald Trump and the weaponization of the system to target him, then our foundation will not only be fractured but it will be irreparable.
Either way, the alleged crimes and obvious financial connections linked to the Biden family with adversarial nations like China and Russia must be thoroughly investigated and the investigation must be made public. The Biden connections and large sums of money taken from government connected energy companies in Ukraine must also be thoroughly vetted and any improprieties must be made public.

In an exclusive interview for SaraACarter.com , Jewish Voices for Trump co-chair Boris Epshteyn challenged his counterpart at Joe Biden ’ s presidential campaign to a debate , which he claims he refuses to accept .
This Biden Campaign didn ’ t respond to this reporter ’ s request for an interview with its Jewish Outreach Director , Aaron Keyak .
Current polling suggests President Trump is favored by nearly 30 % of Jewish voters .
“ That ’ s 5 % higher than what President Trump got four years ago in 2016 and Joe Biden ’ s 67 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lower than Hillary Clinton got in 2016 from Jewish Americans .
And it would be , if that held on election day , would be the lowest Jewish American support for a Democrat since Michael Dukakis , ” says Epshteyn .
With Keyak and Doug Emhoff , who ’ s headlined a number of Jewish voter outreach events for Biden and is married to his vice presidential pick Kamala Harris , Biden ’ s team is “ sad , ” Epshteyn said , adding “ [ Emhoff ’ s ] only qualification I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ husband.
” But , it ” s also the fact that Biden and his party have aligned themselves with a number of antisemitic figures and it ’ s a cause for alarm , Epshteyn explained .
“ In terms of where they stand , it ’ s clear , ” Epshteyn said .
“ Joe Biden and Kamala Harris met with Jacob Blake Senior .
He ’ s an antisemite .
He ’ s a supporter of Louis Farrakhan who calls people like you and me termites.
” Blake Senior ’ s Facebook @ @ @ @ @ @ @ antisemitic posts lauding Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan , who has called Jews ‘ termites ’ and the like .
The antisemitism doesn ’ t stop there .
“ They had Linda Sarsour speaking at their Democrat National Convention .
She ’ s another pal of Louis Farrakhan ’ s .
He ’ s not antisemite , he ’ s anti-termite , which means he wants to terminate people like you and me , ” Epshteyn added .
According to Biden ’ s campaign site , however , he pledges to combat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ U.S.-Israel relationship , and even says he ’ ll fight the antisemitic Boycott , Divestment , and Sanctions ( BDS ) movement that seeks to economically strangle Israel .
“ Jewish Americans can not trust Joe Biden , ” Epshteyn said .
“ And , by the way , since when is not supporting BDS some sort of line in the sand ?
BDS is an antisemitic movement , so that shouldn ’ t be something that Joe Biden even has to say , but he does and it ’ s a lie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be controlling him , the puppet masters behind Joe Biden do support BDS , they are antisemites , and Joe Biden is no friend to Jews or the State of Israel.
” Biden recently compared Trump to Adolf Hitler ’ s confidante and Nazi chief Joseph Goebbels , which Epshteyn says “ was demeaning of the Holocaust , ” adding that Biden ’ s Jewish Outreach Director recently liked and soon unliked a tweet comparing Trump to Hitler .
Epshteyn also gave an open offer to “ anybody who ’ s willing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Jewish Telegraph Agency ’ s “ leftist ” Ron Kampeas .
“ Aaron Keyak better come out of hiding and debate me on the clear contrast between President Trump fighting against antisemitism and standing for the State of Israel and Joe Biden being pro antisemitism and pro-Iran , ” said Epshteyn .

Is this why he refuses to debate me on clear contrast between @realDonaldTrump’s strong support for Jewish people and @Israel versus @JoeBiden’s demeaning of the Holocaust and support for anti – Semites and Iran?
Where is @DouglasEmhoff??? https://t.co/XYimfW9uEk — Boris Epshteyn (@BorisEP) September 29, 2020

saraacater--2020-10-02--RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel reportedly tests positive for COVID-19

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has tested positive for the novel coronavirus Friday , according to reports .
The @ @ @ @ @ respond to this reporters request for comment .
The news comes after President Donald Trump @ @ @ @ @ both tested positive for the virus overnight after advisor Hope Hicks tested positive .

The war on drugs being fought on a daily basis at our borders has been able to be quantified with human lives. The Center Square reports that U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials alone have seized enough lethal drugs this fiscal year through June to kill more than 6.4 billion people.
If that number is a bit too hard to comprehend, here is another: The amounts of lethal doses they’ve seized of fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine are enough to kill the U.S. population 19 times. The agents have confiscated 22,000 pounds of fentanyl at ports of entry nationwide, seized 175,000 pounds of methamphetamine and over 70,000 pounds of cocaine. These amounts are greater than what was seized in all of fiscal 2022.
The Center Square notes that these seizures reported exclude additional ones made by state and other federal agencies:
In Texas, for example, over 422 million lethal doses of fentanyl have been seized through its border security mission Operation Lone Star.
In Arizona, one multiagency effort resulted the seizure of enough illicit drugs, including fentanyl, to kill over 40 million people.
In one single carload bust in Los Angeles, authorities seized enough fentanyl to kill over 600,000 people.
In Florida, one multiagency bust seized enough fentanyl to kill the state’s entire population, and that was after a previous bust that seized enough to kill half the state’s population.
Last year, DEA agents seized over 58 million fake prescription pills laced with fentanyl, and 13,000 pounds of fentanyl powder in 2022, “enough fentanyl to supply a potentially lethal dose to every member of the U.S. population. These seizures occurred in every state in the country.”

I go and I fight for him because he fights for us every single day.

MSNBC liberal talk show host Joy Reid suggested Friday that President Donald Trump lied about his COVID-19 diagnosis just to “ get out of the debates.
” Reid has always been a propagandist never Trumper but she knows better than making up this kind of disgusting lie because of course her pseudo news network had already confirmed the diagnosis .
Reid is an embarrassment .
She is driven by her hatred for Trump and frankly , anyone who disagrees with her point of view .
Unfortunately , there are a lot of “ Reids ” out there .
The President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they had contracted the coronavirus onThursday .
Now , a growing number of senior U.S. lawmakers and officials , many who attended the Rose Garden ’ s announcement that Justice Amy Coney Barrett would be replacing the late Justice Ginsburg , have tested positive for the virus .
It was only hours before Trump was being taken Walter Reed Medical Center , Reid , whose show “ ReidOut ” is a left wing echo chamber of those infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome , shared the gossip her and her friends shared on text @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s how wrecked Trump ’ s credibility is at this point : I ’ ve got a cellphone full of texts from people who aren ’ t sure whether to believe Trump actually has covid .
‘ He lies so much , ’ one friend just texted .
‘ Is he just doing this to get out of the debates ?

Armed Black paramilitary group marches through Lafayette, but few news outlets are reporting far-left extremism

A black separatist paramilitary group known as the “ Not F $ % *ing ( expletive ) Around Coalition ” # NFAC marched with weapons clutched in their hands through the streets of Lafayette , Louisiana , Saturday .
However , only a few news outlets and independent journalists appeared to have reported on the situation , even while the escalation of racial tensions have led to riots across the nation over the past year .
A journalist and cameraman from News2Share.com by the Twitter name of Ford Fischer posted the developments from Louisiana on Twitter Saturday .
It was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ twitter feeds .
One person was arrested after firing shots at the rally but it appeared to be an accidental discharge , according to one local report .
The reason I believe its important to report all sides of this issue is because our nation has been pushed by media reports into very dangerous political divisions and racial tensions have increased because of those divisions .
More importantly , President Donald Trump ’ s supporters , along with the President himself , have been unfairly and wrongly accused by some members of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extremists of being racists .
That type of propaganda is again dangerous and wrong , leading to the growth of extremist groups on both sides , as seen in this march in Louisiana .
Recently , President Trump was asked by Fox News host Chris Wallace at the first Presidential debates to denounce white supremacists groups , as well as a group known as the Proud Boys , whose founders claim is not a racist group but one that focuses on American nationalism .
Wallace asked the same question in 2016 and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ denounced white supremacist including the KKK many times over the past year as well .
He even recently announced that his administration has a proposal to designate the KKK and Antifa as terrorist organizations .
He also called for making lynching a national hate crime and promised a pledge to increase access to capital in Black communities by nearly $ 500 billion .
By the way , these promises were made by Trump before Wallace asked him to denounce white supremacist groups during the debate .
Still , the president is being held @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former Vice President Joe Biden , along with other Democrats and organizations they support are not .
Moreover , news outlets are not reporting the whole truth regarding extremist operations in the nation .
We ’ ve seen this with the way news outlets have reported on the organization Black Lives Matter , after the horrific death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd at the hands of a police officer .
In Lafayette , Louisiana , some members of the Black paramilitary group according to twitter posts , were hanging out by the park @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ Here at the park itself , folks who aren ’ t in the NFAC are gathering as well .
Some are armed , but most are just hanging out , ” said Ford Fischer , on Twitter , who appears to be reporting as an independent journalist from the outlet News2Share.com from the event on Saturday .
“ A voter registration drive is taking place as well , ” he added .
News outlets have failed for the most part to investigate these groups and expose their true intensions and platforms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they do this out of an abundance of caution and fear that doing so will make them appear less sensitive to black issues and fear that doing so will lead to backlash from powerful special interest groups .
There are dangerous extremist groups in the nation , but when we don ’ t call them out equally and report on them equally we have a serious problem .
The paramilitary group in Louisiana , pledged with guns up : “ I [ name ] will never allow the murder of another Black person @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or Black people !
I am not fucking around any goddamn more !
I am the NFC !
Black power !

In a surprising twist, a newly unsealed court document has unveiled that Special Counsel Jack Smith managed to gain access to former President Donald J Trump’s Twitter account, including its private messages and draft tweets. This revelation comes amidst his ongoing investigations into alleged wrongdoings by the ex-president.
The document indicates that Smith obtained a secret search warrant in January, permitting him to scrutinize the ‘@RealDonaldTrump’ account for potential evidence related to criminal activities. Initially, a judge imposed a hefty fine of $350,000 on Elon Musk’s social media conglomerate, previously known as Twitter, for its refusal to cooperate, as revealed in documents released last week.
Furthermore, the court order also restricted the company, now identified as X, from informing Trump about the warrant. According to sources from Smith’s special counsel team, the fear was that if Trump were alerted to the warrant, he might interfere with the investigation.
An attorney from Smith’s team explained, “There actually are concrete cognizable reasons to think that if the former president had notice of these covert investigative steps, there would be actual harm and concern for the investigation, for the witnesses going forward.”
Following some legal wrangling, the unsealed filing discloses that Twitter ultimately provided the requested records. The court filing specifies that Smith secured a search warrant that directed Twitter to hand over ‘data and records’ linked to Trump’s Twitter account, according to reports from the Daily Mail. The content of the messages and draft tweets remains undisclosed.
As per a transcript included in the submission, a legal representative from Twitter affirmed that the company divulged ‘all direct messages, including those in ‘draft form,’ to the special counsel’s team. Moreover, access to both ‘eliminated’ and ‘retained’ direct messages from Trump was accorded to the special counsel’s team.
The former president, in response, accused Joe Biden of being responsible for the warrant and criticized Smith for what he deemed a violation of his privacy. Trump posted on Monday to voice his displeasure, stating, “How dare lowlife prosecutor, Deranged Jack Smith, breaking into my Twitter account without informing me and, indeed, trying to completely hide this atrocity from me. What could he possibly find out that is not already known.”
Smith’s actions have culminated in a 37-count indictment against Trump, with charges ranging from obstruction of justice in relation to classified materials to his efforts to maintain power after losing the 2020 election. The indictment also implicates Trump in spreading falsehoods and encouraging the events of January 6th, characterized as an attack on the Capitol “fueled by lies.”
In response to these developments, Smith issued a public statement underscoring that the assault on the Capitol was “fueled by lies” propagated by Trump, aiming to disrupt the core workings of the U.S. government’s electoral process. Smith asserted his commitment to a ‘swift’ trial as part of his pursuit of justice.

President Trump was diagnosed with the virus late last week and has been receiving treatment just outside of Washington at Walter Reed Medical Center since then.
The group recited the Jewish prayers of healing at the Western Wall, where Jews from all over the world come to pray. The site, also known as the “Kotel,” is the only remaining retaining wall that surrounded the First and Second Temples.
The prayer took place during Sukkot, when Jews gather traditionally in the thousands to recite the “Birkat Kohanim,” also known as the “Priestly Blessing.”

“Unfortunately, this special event was held this year in a different format, without the participation of thousands of Jews. We upheld the tradition in a limited format while abiding by regulations, connecting the entire Jewish nation from Israel and the diaspora,” Rabinowitz added.
