Liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore shamelessly tried to use the coronavirus pandemic to fuel his own radical agenda by claiming that COVID-19 is a “ gentle ” warning from planet Earth before it takes its “ revenge ” on humans for climate change .
On the latest episode of his “ Rumble ” podcast , which was released on Tuesday , Moore talked about the “ planetary emergency ” he claims that Earth is facing .
He went so far as to say that the current pandemic , which has killed over 72,000 Americans at the time of this writing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s to come .
“ I believe that we are in a planetary emergency .
A planetary emergency , my friends .
And I ’ m not talking about the coronavirus , ” Moore , 66 , said at the start of Tuesday ’ s episode .
“ Viruses are a part of nature .
This is their planet , too , they are a form of life and , like another species I know well , they are killers .
This current pandemic is simply Mother Nature giving us a gentle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thinking , ‘ Mike , uh , gentle ?
There ’ s over 3 million around the world infected by this virus and a quarter-million people are dead .
You call that gentle ?
’ Yes , I do .
I do , but I do not diminish how God-awful serious this is , how tragic it is for people that have been sick who ’ ve lost loved ones.
” He went on to call on his fans to think of coronavirus as a specific warning about climate change .
“ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take this moment , take this virus as Earth ’ s slap on our collective face , ” he said .
“ Treat it as if nature is trying to tell our species to back off , slow down and change your ways.
” Moore then shifted away from coronavirus altogether to focus solely on the climate change crisis that he claims will worsen in the coming years .
“ You do understand that this planet can remove all of us in the snap of its fingers ?
” he asked .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ‘ Thank God the planet doesn ’ t have any fingers.
’ But nonetheless , if you think COVID-19 has been a bummer , then trust me , you literally can ’ t imagine just how awful Earth ’ s revenge against us is going to be for trying to choke it to f—ing death .
We are in a serious , multilevel planetary emergency.

Just last week , actress Jane @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relief funds be used to fight climate change .
Her former “ Barefoot in the Park ” co-star Robert Redford even argued that climate change might be a good thing because its quarantines could help the world fight climate change .

“One of these two candidates are going to be elected president of the United States. It’s either going to be Joe Biden or it’s going to be Donald Trump, and I think it’s important to, you know, communicate some empathy,” said Ocasio-Cortez.
Where were those calls for empathy when Biden, along with former President Barack Obama, was the one placing kids in temporary holding areas?

In ABC interview, President Trump tells people who have lost loved ones to Coronavirus: “I love you, we’re doing everything we can… I don’t sleep at night thinking about it. There’s nobody taking it harder than me, but I have to get this enemy defeated. That’s what we’re doing” pic.twitter.com/WDb1Zz2qn3 — TV News HQ (@TVNewsHQ) May 6, 2020
Trump predicted a surge once the economy is finally unleashed according to his phased plan.
“I think the stimulus, coupled with this pent-up demand and everybody wanting to get out and go back to work,” the President said. “I think we’re going to have a just a tremendous surge.”
That’s a surge America will never see under a Biden administration.

It is beyond belief .
And he doesn ’ t care !

” Midler tweeted .
Midler made this bizarre claim in response @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economy after multiple states saw their COVID-19 cases flatten .
She completely ignored the fact that Trump has actually said that he wants special care to be given to the elderly as states reopen their economies in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic , according to Breitbart News .
“ States are safely coming back .
Our Country is starting to OPEN FOR BUSINESS again , ” Trump tweeted in April .
“ Special care is , and always will be , given to our beloved seniors ( except me ! )
.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ LOVE YOU ALL !
” Like many other liberal celebrities , Midler has verged on being gleeful throughout this pandemic as she ’ s used it to shamelessly blame Trump for every coronavirus casualty in the United States .
Last month , she went so far as to claim that Trump has “ 30,000 corpses ” on his hands .
“ Every single day you cause death , destruction , and untold suffering .
Four more years of your incompetence and we won ’ t have a country left !
” Midler wrote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” and “ # Loser.

California Democrat Gov. Newsom Hit With Massive Lawsuit Over $75 Million Stimulus For Illegal Aliens

California ’ s Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom was hit with bad news on Tuesday when a massive lawsuit was filed to stop him from handing out $ 75 million in taxpayer funds to illegal aliens .
The lawsuit was filed on Tuesday by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch , which announced that they had also filed a temporary restraining order against Newsom to stop him from spending the $ 75 million on people living in this country illegally .
They argued that the restraining order was necessary because Newsom allegedly plans to start spending the money immediately .
“ Judicial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a temporary restraining order because Governor Newsom plans to rush plainly illegal direct cash payments , using taxpayer dollars , to illegal aliens , ” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement .
“ The governor has no legal authority on his own to spend state taxpayer money for cash payments to illegal aliens , and coronavirus doesn ’ t give him or any other politician a pass to violate the law.
” This comes one month after Newsom announced plans to distribute $ 125 million in coronavirus-related assistance funds to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
California taxpayers would have to foot the bill for $ 75 million of this , while another $ 50 million would be covered by philanthropic donations .
The money is intended to help illegal aliens who don ’ t qualify for the stimulus package that Congress passed to help American citizens back in March .
Judicial Watch argued in their filing that Newsom is overstepping his authority in handing out the hard-earned tax dollars of Americans to illegal immigrants , citing the fact that the liberal governor launched the program without input @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ These benefits are not to be provided to U.S. citizens or legal aliens residing in the state , according to an April 17 fact sheet issued by the California Department of Social Services , the ‘ Disaster Relief Assistance for Immigrants Fact Sheet , ’ which reiterates that only unlawfully present aliens are eligible for direct assistance , ” the watchdog group stated .
It should be noted that federal immigration law bans illegal aliens from being eligible to receive state or local public benefits .
The only way a state government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through laws passed by the state legislature , which never happened in California .
What Newsom is doing in his state is unconscionable , as there is no reason why American tax dollars should be given to people in this country illegally .
This is yet another example of Democrats prioritizing illegal aliens over hardworking American citizens , so we hope for the sake of the people of California that this lawsuit stops Newsom dead in his tracks .

Illegal Aliens Should Not Be Rewarded For Breaking The Law!
This line of argument is, of course, ridiculous. Firstly, for an illegal immigrant to be able to pay taxes, they have to use a stolen social security number. If the original owner is still alive and active in the U.S., then it completely screws them over when it’s time to do their taxes.

Perhaps Miss Ocasio-Cortez should focus more on helping out people who haven’t broken the law!

Adam Schiff Is In ‘Panic Mode’ As Transcripts Of House Intel Committee Interviews Are Cleared For Release

Remember when Adam Schiff gloated for months about all that “ evidence ” he had showing there was collusion between Trump and the Russians ?
Most of us assumed he was lying .
We now have proof , according to Fox News sources ; and those same sources say Schiff is in “ panic mode ” after acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell recently notified him that the report is now ready for release .
In September 2018 , with a mid-year election looming , the bitterly divided House forged a rare bipartisan moment in what was hailed as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voting to make public the transcripts of 53 witnesses in the “ Russiagate ” investigation .
19 months later , these documents have yet to be released .
Earlier this week , however , House Republicans sought over 6,000 pages of transcripts pertaining to interviews conducted by the House Intelligence Committee in 2017 and 2018 , as provided by that bipartisan House vote back in September 2018 .
A day after this request was made by House Republicans , acting DNI Grenell notified Schiff , D-California , that the redaction and declassification process @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ready for release – which now puts the ball in Schiff ’ s court .
In a letter to Schiff dated May 4 and obtained by Fox News , Grenell wrote , “ In the interests of transparency and accountability , I urge you to honor your previous public statements , and your Committee ’ s unanimous vote on this matter , to release all 53 cleared transcripts to all Members of Congress and the American public as soon as possible.
” Senior officials from the administration and the intelligence community told Fox @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the House Intelligence Committee interviews show top federal law enforcement agencies and intelligence officials affirming they had no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election .
Similarly , Robert Mueller , at the conclusion of his two-year-long investigation , said he and his team found no evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia .
Another source familiar with the transcripts told Fox News that of the 53 witnesses who testified to the committee , not one testified that they had any evidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or coordinated with Russia during the 2016 election .
Also expected to be released , according to the same Fox News source : Transcripts for interviews with Obama officials , such as former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper ; former Attorney General Loretta Lynch ; former Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power ; former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe ; former National Security Adviser Susan Rice ; former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates ; former Obama adviser Benjamin Rhodes ; and former Obama counselor and Hillary Clinton Campaign Manager John @ @ @ @ @ @ @ transparency ” as a slick political talking point for three years becomes a bit trickier when all your cards are about to be thrown onto the table for the entire world to see .
Should we expect another conveniently-timed ‘ public crisis ’ to erupt in the democrats ’ efforts to distract from this imminent document drop ?
That seems to be the pattern .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-05-07--Robert De Niro Praises Cuomo For COVID-19 Response As Backlash Over Nursing Home Deaths Grows

Hollywood star Robert De Niro , an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump , spoke out this week to praise New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for the way he has handled the coronavirus pandemic .
De Niro claimed that Cuomo has acted “ presidential ” throughout this crisis despite the fact that the governor is in hot water over the revelation of 1,700 previously undisclosed nursing home deaths in New York due to coronavirus , according to Breitbart News .
Early on in the outbreak , Cuomo had ordered senior care facilities in the state to accept COVID-19 patients , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to hundreds of deaths among the elderly .
De Niro conveniently ignored all of this , however , as he praised the Democrat governor while talking to Stephen Colbert on “ The Late Show.
” During the interview , Colbert asked the Hollywood actor who he would play in the movie or television version of this pandemic “ I guess I ’ ll play Cuomo .
He ’ s doing what a president should do , ” De Niro said , to which Colbert asked , “ Could you see ‘ President ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see it , ” De Niro responded .
The liberal star went on to express his support for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden , although he added that Cuomo is a “ very capable back up.
” “ I want everything to go well for Biden .
At least we have a person who is very capable backup , if you will , ” De Niro said .
“ Not vice president .
But if something would change , God forbid nothing will change .
He ’ s doing a great job @ @ @ @ @ @ @ president should do.
” Later on in the conversation , De Niro had his typical anti-Trump meltdown , calling him an “ idiot ” for his handling of COVID-19 .
“ We of course could have survived this much better if , uh , ‘ idiot ’ had done the right thing , and listened and heeded all the warnings , ” the actor said .
“ There were many , many warnings .
And we ’ re all paying for it now .
It would have been bad in some ways but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appalling .
It ’ s appalling.
” Of course , the notoriously liberal Colbert was in full agreement with him .
“ It ’ s all about him getting re-elected , ” De Niro said .
“ I have no words for it anymore .
I ’ m completely nonplussed , dumbfounded , confounded.
” De Niro will forgive liberals like Cuomo of absolutely everything , while blaming anything bad that happens to our country on President Trump .
Like his fellow radically leftwing stars , De Niro thinks success in the entertainment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but he ’ s dead wrong .
