saraacater--2020-08-06--Israel Boycott Supporter Wins Missouri Democratic Primary

A supporter of the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement ( BDS ) against the State of Israel , Cori Bush , has been declared the winner of the Democratic primary race in Missouri ’ s First Congressional District .
Bush defeated Lacy Clay , a 20-year incumbent who supported Israel in a district with a significant Jewish population .
Moreover , it was Clay who in the final days of the campaign , disseminated a booklet exposing Bush ’ s ties to Palestinian Activist Linda Sarsour and her support for BDS , Jewish Insider first reported .
The mailer featured @ @ @ @ @ @ @ candidate including her support for an end to military aid to Israel , according to the report .
It also alleged that she “ failed to condemn antisemitic comments by her fellow staffers while working as a national surrogate for Senator Bernie Sanders ’ presidential campaign.
” Jewish Insider reported that Bush had openly stated her support for BDS on her campaign site , which was since removed .
“ I stand by the right of Palestinians to live as a free people just as the people of Israel and we as U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the page read .
“ We also stand by their right to call for a boycott on goods and services that the government that is currently oppressing them profits from , in order to draw attention to their plight.
” Bush has been backed by Justice Democrats , the Democratic Socialists of America and the Sunrise Movement .
If she succeeds in her Congressional bid , Bush will likely join a few freshman members of Congress who support BDS , including Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib , who won her primary in Michigan ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Congrats Missouri , you just allowed a Jew hating , Linda Sarsour loving , new member of the squad to win your state ’ s Democratic primary , ” StopAntisemitism.org wrote on Twitter Wednesday , following the release of Tuesday ’ s primary results .

In a recent development, the Tate brothers, Andrew and Tristan, along with two associates, find themselves at the center of a high-profile case involving human trafficking allegations.
The charges leveled against them indicate the formation of an organized criminal group in 2021 with the intent to carry out human trafficking operations not only in Romania but also in the United States and the United Kingdom, according to the BBC.
The investigation, which led to their arrest in December last year, has culminated in an indictment filed with the Bucharest court. According to the indictment, the Tate brothers are accused of luring their victims with false promises of love and marriage. Seven individuals have been identified as alleged victims, who were later coerced and subjected to a harrowing ordeal.
Prosecutors contend that the victims were taken to locations in Ilfov county, Romania, where they faced constant surveillance, intimidation, and control. The defendants allegedly forced the victims into debt and coerced them into participating in pornographic activities, with the explicit material subsequently shared on social media platforms. Shockingly, one of the defendants is accused of raping a woman on two occasions in March 2022, further amplifying the gravity of the charges.
While the trial is not expected to commence immediately, as a Romanian judge is granted 60 days to inspect the case files, it is anticipated to be a protracted legal battle. The complexity of the case and the severity of the charges will undoubtedly result in a lengthy trial process, with several years potentially passing before a verdict is reached.
Representatives for the Tate brothers released a statement acknowledging the unsurprising nature of the news but maintaining their belief in their innocence.
As reported by the BBC, the Tate brothers media team stared, “While this news is undoubtedly predictable, we embrace the opportunity it presents to demonstrate their innocence and vindicate their reputation.”
They expressed their eagerness to present a comprehensive body of evidence meticulously collected over time, which they believe will substantiate their claims of innocence and restore their tarnished reputation.
However, it should be noted that additional charges, such as money laundering and trafficking of minors, are still under investigation. If evidence is uncovered to support these allegations, a separate indictment could be filed, further complicating the legal proceedings for the defendants.
Andrew Tate, who gained notoriety through his participation in the reality television show Big Brother, has a controversial past, having been removed from the show in 2016 following a video that appeared to depict him assaulting a woman.
Despite subsequent bans on social media platforms due to his contentious statements, he has managed to amass a following, particularly among young men, by promoting an ostentatious and hyper-masculine lifestyle.
As the case unfolds, public attention will undoubtedly be drawn to the trial, with many eagerly awaiting the outcome and hoping for justice to be served for the alleged victims. The complex web of charges and the high-profile nature of the defendants ensure that this trial will be closely monitored and scrutinized by the media and the public alike.

From the beginning of her covering the Russia hoax , Sara A. Carter was sure the story she discovered about a fake dossier and an effort to ensure President Donald Trump would never take office would be one the mainstream outlets would pick up .
She quickly learned that wasn ’ t the case .
“ I remember when I first started breaking stories on the FBI , on Andrew McCabe , on James Comey , what was going on in the FBI , the unjust investigation into Michael Flynn , the FISA , the unmaskings , I thought ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ na be handled by me for a short time period because the New York Times , the Washington Post , all the other news outlets with all the money and all the power behind them are gon na jump on this and they ’ re gon na expose this , ” Carter told Fox Business host David Asman Thursday night .

” That big nugget of information wasn ’ t covered by ABC , NBC , and CBS .
In fact , those outlets chose not to cover the hearing altogether .

saraacater--2020-08-07--Woke Democratic Party Sleeps Through Biden’s Continuous Racists Statements

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden issued an apology Thursday night for statements he made to an NPR reporter suggesting that there was more diversity within the Latino Community than in the case of African Americans .
This seems to be a pattern for Biden and a number of his gaffes always seem border racist statements .
In a time where racial tensions are heightened statements like this could lead to sweeping condemnation and an all-out assault by members of the ‘ woke ’ Democratic Party .
It looks like , however , the party is asleep when it comes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supporters , in fact , ignore his history of recent and past racist statements with the hope that when Biden picks his Vice Presidential nominee , which is looking more like it will be former national security advisor Susan Rice , they can make it all go away .
His apology , however , definitely revealed that his campaign was concerned enough and wanted to get ahead of any fallout .
‘ Earlier today , I made some comments about diversity in the African American and Latino communities that I want to clarify @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to suggest the African American community is a monolith—not by identity , not on issues , not at all.
’ The question from NPR host Lulu Garcia-Navarro was simple : would Biden stop Cubans from being deported if he became president .
Biden then responded with a very confusing answer : “ And by the way , what you all know , but most people don ’ t know , unlike the African American community , with notable exceptions , the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community , with incredibly different attitudes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , receiving a slew of backlash for his wording.
” If President Donald Trump made this statement , do you think the Democrats and liberal special interest groups would be so forgiving .
No way .
Not at all .
Not by a long shot .
This isn ’ t the first time in Biden ’ s long and colorful political career that he ’ s made remarks that have made people who heard them do a double take .
In fact , this was in line with another seemingly racist and insulting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reporter .
In fact , the NPR interview got even stranger when Biden responded to a question asking whether he had taken a cognitive test .
Biden said no and then suggested in a seemingly moment of anger that taking a cognitive test before the presidency , would be like giving the reporter a test for Cocaine prior to the interview .
Why Cocaine ?
It seemed everyone but the Democrats questioned the disparaging remark .
What about his interview with Charlamagne the God .
It fits exactly into his theme that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ having to earn it .
“ If you have a problem figuring out whether you ’ re for me or Trump , then you ain ’ t Black , ” said Biden .
Democrats have a magical power to only wake up and target those not in their party .
They seem to never notice the large thorn in their own eye .
Republicans need to work harder to earn the respect and vote of the Black , Latino and other minority communities .
Under Trump , prior to the pandemic , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in minority communities .
It ’ s not enough .
Minority communities are often ignored by Democrats and Republicans once the votes are case .
Republicans need to take advantage of this moment in 2020 and point out that economic freedom brings with it equality and a voice to communities that have long been ignored or used .
Biden ’ s statements aren ’ t the words of someone whose confused but it ’ s the unofficial philosophy and policy to Democratic Party .

The Democrats and his supporters, in fact, ignore his history of recent and past racist statements with the hope that when Biden picks his Vice Presidential nominee, which is looking more like it will be former national security advisor Susan Rice, they can make it all go away.
His apology, however, definitely revealed that his campaign was concerned enough and wanted to get ahead of any fallout.
‘Earlier today, I made some comments about diversity in the African American and Latino communities that I want to clarify. In no way did I mean to suggest the African American community is a monolith—not by identity, not on issues, not at all.’
Want to hear my thoughts on @JoeBiden's latest comments about the African American community?…Listen to my latest podcast:https://t.co/VQlZR6mBOi#TheSaraCarterShow #TheSaraCarterPodcast pic.twitter.com/Tdz3XRclbh — Sara A. Carter (@SaraCarterDC) August 7, 2020
The question from NPR host Lulu Garcia-Navarro was simple: would Biden stop Cubans from being deported if he became president. Biden then responded with a very confusing answer:
“And by the way, what you all know, but most people don’t know, unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community, with incredibly different attitudes about different things,’ Biden said, receiving a slew of backlash for his wording.”
If President Donald Trump made this statement, do you think the Democrats and liberal special interest groups would be so forgiving. No way. Not at all. Not by a long shot.
This isn’t the first time in Biden’s long and colorful political career that he’s made remarks that have made people who heard them do a double take. In fact, this was in line with another seemingly racist and insulting statement made seconds earlier to the same reporter.
In fact, the NPR interview got even stranger when Biden responded to a question asking whether he had taken a cognitive test. Biden said no and then suggested in a seemingly moment of anger that taking a cognitive test before the presidency, would be like giving the reporter a test for Cocaine prior to the interview.
Why Cocaine? It seemed everyone but the Democrats questioned the disparaging remark.
Uhh… did Joe Biden just say that Black people are all the same? pic.twitter.com/iUgkk2uSJo — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) August 6, 2020
What about his interview with Charlamagne the God. It fits exactly into his theme that the Democratic Party has the black vote without having to earn it.
“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black,” said Biden.
Democrats have a magical power to only wake up and target those not in their party. They seem to never notice the large thorn in their own eye.
Republicans need to work harder to earn the respect and vote of the Black, Latino and other minority communities. Under Trump, prior to the pandemic, the administration worked diligently to bolster the economy in minority communities. It’s not enough.
Minority communities are often ignored by Democrats and Republicans once the votes are case. Republicans need to take advantage of this moment in 2020 and point out that economic freedom brings with it equality and a voice to communities that have long been ignored or used.
Biden’s statements aren’t the words of someone whose confused but it’s the unofficial philosophy and policy to Democratic Party.

”

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.

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.”

New data from the Institute of Politics and Public Service shows public support for Democrats in congressional races is far less than support behind the presumptive nominee Joe Biden ‘ s presidential race .

” While it may not ring good news for the Trump campaign , local congressional races should see this as potentially election-changing results .
Republicans also have higher support in crucial voting blocks like rural voters ( 57 percent ) , white seniors ( 53 percent ) , and voters with some college education ( 50 percent ) , according to the data .
While this poll suggests Biden is soaring past Trump in national polls — which notably didn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does not need national support — the Republican platform in general is more popular .
The generic Congressional ballot results show Republican support at 44 percent — with Democrats sitting at 50 percent .
This is much smaller than the Biden/Trump numbers , specifically on different issues like the COVID-19 response where Biden leads Trump by 22 percent in voter ’ s approval .
Therefore , November may see many congressional elections go in President Trump ’ s favor but the presidential ballot still remains uncertain .

In an unexpected turn of events, the city of Goodhue in southeastern Minnesota finds itself without a police force as the chief and other department members tendered their resignations.
Mayor Ellen Anderson Buck conveyed the city’s determination to move forward despite the setback, assuring the public of continued police coverage.
Mayor Buck emphasized, “I want to reiterate that we will have police coverage in the city of Goodhue. That is not an issue.” Police Chief Josh Smith, who will remain in his position until August 24th, attributed the force’s dissolution to the inability to recruit new officers, according to reports from Fox News.
“This has been three weeks now, we have zero applicants, and I have zero prospects,” Smith disclosed on July 26. “I’ve called every PD around for the youngest guys out there, getting into the game. There’s nobody getting into the game.”
Chris Schmit, a Goodhue City Council member, praised the police force for their commitment to upholding law and order in the city, underscoring their invaluable contribution to the community’s safety. “I can probably speak for everyone when I say that they provided excellent safety and security to our community. And the small-town policing that they did, we want that back.”
Smith bared a stark truth to the Goodhue City Council, unraveling the crux of the department’s recruitment turmoil. The resounding echo of low wages and the unrelenting surge of rivalry from neighboring larger communities reverberated through his words. With an urgency born of necessity, he underscored the imperative for swift and substantial transformation to reorient this daunting trajectory.
In a state that has witnessed significant policing developments, including the George Floyd case, Minneapolis serves as a prominent backdrop. The latest ex-Minneapolis police officer convicted in Floyd’s death received a sentence of four years and nine months on August 7. Prior to his sentencing, Tou Thao, the former officer, shared a personal reflection on his faith journey while incarcerated.
Despite repeated attempts, the Goodhue Police Department, the mayor, and city council members remained unavailable for comments.
This unexpected loss of an entire police force underscores the challenges many smaller communities face in maintaining law enforcement personnel amidst increasing demands and competition from larger urban centers.

Barr is on the frontlines. He truly is a general fighting the resistance to restore justice and integrity to our nation. It will be his greatest legacy if he does it right.
I don’t believe he’s afraid of those bureaucrats that are working diligently everyday to derail his ongoing investigation into the FBI’s now debunked probe into Trump and Russia by Connecticut Attorney John Durham.
He must not be derailed and he must use every bit of truth in his arsenal and unleash it on the American people before the 2020 election.
What is happening now in our nation goes far beyond the radical left but as Barr said it has become the ‘secular religion” of those resisting the American people’s decision to put Trump into office.
“It’s the lust for power,” he said describing those working to take out the president.
“And they weren’t expecting Trump’s victory,” he stated. “And it outrages them.”


saraacater--2020-08-11--Declassified Document Indicates FBI Misled Congress on Reliability of Steele Dossier

Documents recently released by the Senate Intelligence Committee indicate that there were strong doubts about the reliability of the Steele Dossier as early as December 2016 .
As the FBI and CIA worked together to create an Intelligence Community Assessment ( ICA ) to present to President Barack Obama , those in the CIA camp , according to the now-declassified interviews conducted by the Senate Intelligence Committee , worried that the FBI was playing up the Steele Dossier too much .
Sen. Lindsey Graham released a statement on the Senate Judiciary Committee website in which he addressed the newly declassified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the FBI was continuing to mislead regarding the reliability of the Steele dossier .
The FBI did to the Senate Intelligence Committee what the Department of Justice and FBI had previously done to the FISA Court : mischaracterize , mislead and lie .
The characterizations regarding the dossier were completely out of touch with reality in terms of what the Russian sub-source actually said to the FBI .
“ What does this mean ?
That Congress , as well as the FISA Court , was lied to about the reliability of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FBI Director Wray to provide me all the details possible about how the briefing was arranged and who provided it .
“ Inspector General Horowitz ’ s team found this briefing document .
Inspector General Horowitz and his team deserve great credit for uncovering systematic fraud at the Department of Justice surrounding the Carter Page FISA warrant .
I ’ m also very appreciative of the Department of Justice ’ s release of the FBI document used to brief the Senate Intelligence Committee .

A suspected al Qaeda terrorist – wanted by U.S. federal law enforcement and intelligence officials – was captured on the streets of San Jose, Costa Rica Wednesday by one of the nation’s anti-terrorism units, according to sources and news reports from the region.
In June, SaraACarter.com first reported that DHS officials had issued a Be On the Lookout alert (BOLO), for “Mohamed Shaker MOHAMED ABDELAAL.” Shaker, who is associated with the Al-Nusrah terrorist group, was attempting to enter the United States through the Southern border with Mexico, according to information obtained by intelligence officials and foreign intelligence agencies.
Costa Rican authorities announced this week that they intercepted Shaker on Wednesday, “as he walked the streets of the capital,” according to the report.
“Shaker had been under surveillance by the Anti-Terrorism Unit of the Intelligence and Security Directorate (DIS) after Costa Rica received an international alert about him. DIS coordinated with the Professional Migration Police and San José Municipal Police to apprehend Shaker downtown,” according to a news report from Costa Rica.
A former U.S. intelligence official, with knowledge of al Qaeda and other terrorist affiliated groups, told SaraACarter.com that the southern border has become a “magnet for entrance into the U.S. by terrorists, as well as other criminals but he is just one example of serious the porous southern border really is when terrorists direct plans are to fly into a Central American country and move across by foot.”
“How many more have already crossed illegally is unknown,” the former U.S. intelligence official added.
U.S. authorities became aware several months ago that Shaker, who is a suspected terrorist and on a “no fly list” had made his way through Panama. The information obtained by U.S. authorities also suggested that he had planned to enter through the southwest border, according to a documents obtained by saraacarter.com.
The BOLO national security threat/no fly alert said “Mohamed Shaker MOHAMED ABDELAAL”, poses a “imminent threat to national security.” According to the alert Mohamed Shaker is from Egypt and was identified by sources in Panama, according to officials and the BOLO alert.
Several months ago, a DHS source, with knowledge of the incident, who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “The border has gotten so bad that we just don’t know what is getting in. We have had terrorist facilitators, guerrillas, hard corp gang members and who knows what coming in.”
“They must feel pretty comfortable with the state of the border if they are risking coming in. The numbers of military age “asylum seekers” coming in is enough to overwhelm law enforcement resources. We are in for a rough future if this doesn’t stop,” he added. The dhs source who spoke on background stated that the BOLO alert has been issued to local and state authorities.
According to CBP.gov, there was total of 380 terrorists who attempted to cross illegally into the United States at both the southern and northern border in 2022. This year the U.S. has already encountered 295 known terrorists entering the country illegally and there is still 6 months left in the year. This puts the United States at great risk of a National Security threat.
