In a phone interview , Juanita Broaddrick said that she thought Tara Reade , who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault , “ has so much credibility.
” Broaddrick : “ So Many Details That Christine Blasey Ford Would Never Dream Of Having ” Speaking to TheHill.TV , Broaddrick first described Reade as “ a very , very intelligent , credible woman.
” The presenters asked Broaddrick what it was about Reade that made her believe her .
“ It ’ s that she had so many details , so many details , that Christine Blasey Ford would never dream @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ And the tone of her voice… I ’ ve talked with many women who have gone through what she has gone through and what I have gone through .
There ’ s just a vibration that you feel and you know when someone has really suffered this.
” Broaddrick added that with her experiences , “ you just develop a sense of when someone is telling the truth.
” She was then asked whether there were any similarities between Reade ’ s case and her own .
Tara is much more brave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ started running for president , I was too afraid to come forward even back then… It ’ s so different because there wasn ’ t a # MeToo .
But it ’ s much the same , too , because here you had President Bill Clinton that was doing so much for the feminists and they did not want to go against him because they had so many bills in the process of being passed for women .
And now you have the very same thing going on with Biden : he ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ groups just like Clinton did… It ’ s just like Clinton ; Biden is running for president .
They hate Trump .
They ’ ll do anything .
Broaddrick said she thought it was “ horrible ” how Reade had been treated by the # MeToo movement .
Last week , one of the most prominent founders of # MeToo , Tarana Burke , said that despite the accusations against Biden , she was still going to be endorsing him for President .
The former Vice President could be “ accountable and electable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ acknowledging ] that his demonstrated learning curve around boundaries with women , at the very least , left him open to the plausibility of these claims , ” Burke argued – which , in practical terms , lets him off the hook completely .

When asked how people should cast their vote in November , Broaddrick argued that both President Trump and Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these [ accusations against them ] are credible .
Tara has been interviewed and vetted and has so much credibility.
” She added that she dislikes when “ politics are brought into [ the discussion ] , ” noting that it “ shouldn ’ t matter ” about the politics of the accused , but the validity of the accusation .
I couldn ’ t agree more .
This is what the left doesn ’ t seem to get !
Conservatives weren ’ t critical of Blasey Ford ’ s accusations against Justice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” but because the evidence was simply not apparent .
I have no doubt that if there were serious , credible , accusations against him , then conservatives wouldn ’ t want him sitting on the Supreme Court benches just as much as the Democrats didn ’ t back in 2018 .
Yet whenever somebody important to the left is accused , they are defended to the hilt .
The only time the survivor of sexual assault by a leftist gets any justice is when the accuser is no longer politically useful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ full below .

Broaddrick added that with her experiences, “you just develop a sense of when someone is telling the truth.”
She was then asked whether there were any similarities between Reade’s case and her own.
“It’s similar, but it’s absolutely different also,” Broaddrick replied:
Tara is much more brave than I am… When Bill Clinton first started running for president, I was too afraid to come forward even back then… It’s so different because there wasn’t a #MeToo. But it’s much the same, too, because here you had President Bill Clinton that was doing so much for the feminists and they did not want to go against him because they had so many bills in the process of being passed for women. And now you have the very same thing going on with Biden: he’s getting the support from the feminist groups just like Clinton did… It’s just like Clinton; Biden is running for president. They hate Trump. They’ll do anything.
Broaddrick said she thought it was “horrible” how Reade had been treated by the #MeToo movement. Last week, one of the most prominent founders of #MeToo, Tarana Burke, said that despite the accusations against Biden, she was still going to be endorsing him for President.
The former Vice President could be “accountable and electable” by “at minimum, [acknowledging] that his demonstrated learning curve around boundaries with women, at the very least, left him open to the plausibility of these claims,” Burke argued – which, in practical terms, lets him off the hook completely.

Tara has been interviewed and vetted and has so much credibility.” She added that she dislikes when “politics are brought into [the discussion],” noting that it “shouldn’t matter” about the politics of the accused, but the validity of the accusation.
I couldn’t agree more. This is what the left doesn’t seem to get! Conservatives weren’t critical of Blasey Ford’s accusations against Justice Kavanaugh because he was “our guy,” but because the evidence was simply not apparent.
I have no doubt that if there were serious, credible, accusations against him, then conservatives wouldn’t want him sitting on the Supreme Court benches just as much as the Democrats didn’t back in 2018. Yet whenever somebody important to the left is accused, they are defended to the hilt.

Pop singer Cher returned to her Donald Trump-bashing ways this week as she launched yet another assault on the president while talking about why she supports presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden .
“ You have to vote for the one side you hate the least , ” Cher told Billboard , adding that she sees Biden as an “ honest ” man .
“ I like Joe .
I ’ ve known Joe for a long , long , long time , ” Cher said .
“ I had a meeting once with him and I thought , ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ honest man.
’ It was way before he was with Barack Obama .
We had a conversation and he was so painfully honest.
” Cher went on to admit that Biden is a flawed candidate , although she did not go into detail about what these flaws are .
“ You know , everybody ’ s got faults , ” she said .
“ But at least he has a soul and he understands pain .
He ’ s also been a politician for a gazillion years .

“ As much as I dislike Trump — and dislike doesn ’ t even come anywhere near to what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thought that he was really interested in people and came up with something to help , I would give him some props , even though I think he would have nothing to do with it , ” she said .

She knows more about government than most presidents .

Representative Adam Schiff put the blame for coronavirus deaths squarely on the fact that President Donald Trump was not impeached back in January.
Schiff: ‘Little Did We Know How Great The Casualties’ Of Impeachment Failure Would Be
Sparked off by a comment from MSNBC anchor Lawrence O’Donnell, Schiff went on an insane diatribe linking the casualties of coronavirus to the failed impeachment.
“We can’t act even slightly surprised by this because you told us this was going to happen in your argument in the Senate impeachment trial,” O’Donnell put to Schiff.
“Well, we certainly told the senators that he was not going to change, and there was no way to constrain him. That he is who he is, and he would continue to operate the way he had, and indeed, that’s exactly what we’ve seen since,” Schiff replied. “The one thing we dramatically understated is when we asked the question, ‘If you found him guilty, do you really need to remove him given there is another election only nine months away, how much damage could he really do?'”
“We said a lot, but little did we know just how great the casualties would be. Some days we lose the equivalent of the number of people we lost on 9/11,” Schiff claimed, with clearly no self-reflection. “You know, I think that there is no way we could have foreseen just how tragic his malfeasance would be in his remaining months in the administration.”
UNHINGED: Adam Schiff claims the casualties of coronavirus are casualties of the failed impeachment, implies the failed impeachment was worse than 9/11https://t.co/XMnXzCnIVi pic.twitter.com/geRbI1pOdR — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) May 5, 2020
Absolutely Unhinged!
The RNC called Schiff’s arguments “unhinged” in their tweet covering his appearance, and I am very much inclined to agree. It’s completely deranged to not only put the blame for deaths from the coronavirus on President Trump, but also in the impeachment itself. Ironically, you can make a far more coherent case that the impeachment debacle actually distracted the attention of the Democrats in Congress from the growing threat of the pandemic back in January!
As Fox News host Sean Hannity pointed out on his March 16th show, Democrats weren’t interested in the coronavirus at all. When the first person with coronavirus entered the country on January 21st, the Democrats were “in the throes of an all-consuming, what has been the culmination of a three-year quest to impeach and throw Donald Trump out of office.” On January 23rd, when China sealed off the Hubei province, House impeachment managers were starting their opening arguments. And on January 31st, when President Trump issued the travel ban to and from China and declared a national health emergency, Democrats, including Schiff, were busy trying to impeach him.
Try denying that Schiff!


thepoliticalinsider--2020-05-05--Lindsey Graham: Chinese Communist Party’s Deception Is Directly Responsible For Global Pandemic

Senator Lindsey Graham ( R-SC ) appeared on Fox News Monday night with host Laura Ingraham , claiming the Chinese Communist Party ’ s deception is responsible for the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States .
Senator Graham , who has been very vocal in the media on the subject , made the call once again to hold China accountable for the spread of this virus .
“ I ’ m one hundred percent convinced , without Chinese Communist Party deception , the virus wouldn ’ t be here in the United States , ” Graham said .
In April @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Justice with Judge Jeanine ” with host Jeanine Pirro and delivered a similar message to the American people regarding the Chinese Communist Party ’ s negligence and our nation ’ s duty to hold them accountable .

” The first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China is believed to have been realized on December 6th , when a Wuhan man experienced “ pneumonia-like ” symptoms and reportedly passed them onto his wife .
One month later , on January 5 , the World Health Organization ( WHO ) released a statement ( including what is now known to be false information ) that eased the world ’ s concern by diminishing the fear of human-to-human transmission .
The WHO statement regurgitated the CCP ’ s claim that there was “ no evidence of significant human-to-human transmission , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had censored at least eight doctors who tried to warn the rest of the world about the coronavirus .

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has made it clear that the world needs to hold China accountable for the harmful secrecy and misinformation campaigns .
Representative Dan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and pointed out one of the glaring examples of the Chinese government ’ s mishandling of the virus , stating that China “ prevented domestic travel from Wuhan but allowed international travel , ” ultimately infecting the rest of the world when this could have been contained .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-05-05--Ilhan Omar Demands Vote-by-Mail Elections, ‘No Questions Asked’

Representative Ilhan Omar ( D-MN ) is calling for a blanket vote-by-mail option in future elections with absolutely “ no questions asked.
” Omar , other members of the Squad , and nearly every prominent Democrat have been pushing for a vote-by-mail election in an attempt to capitalize on the coronavirus pandemic .
It is a means to implement a method some consider a fraud risk .
“ Every registered voter should be allowed to # VoteByMail in future elections , ” Omar tweeted , “ no questions asked.
” There is a reason Democrats are desperately trying to prolong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where it can affect the elections in November , but this particular option carries with it some major concerns .
Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently explained vote-by-mail “ would instantly destroy the public ’ s faith in election outcomes , and hence our democracy itself.
” Mail-in ballots are considered by many as a means of allowing voter fraud .
Indeed , there have been some prominent examples of voter fraud involving mail-in ballots – debacles in North Carolina and Texas to name a couple .
RELATED : Tucker Carlson Accuses Michelle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Itself ’ Through Mail-In Voting Omar Really Wants This Vote-by-mail appears to be the lone policy effort coming from Democrats in a time of crisis and it ’ s pretty easy to understand why .
Their goal is always to compromise elections and undermine democracy .
Potential vice presidential running mate to Joe Biden , Stacey Abrams , has been calling for it .
Former first lady Michelle Obama wants it , as does former first lady Hillary Clinton .

Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is calling for a blanket vote-by-mail option in future elections with absolutely “no questions asked.”
Omar, other members of the Squad, and nearly every prominent Democrat have been pushing for a vote-by-mail election in an attempt to capitalize on the coronavirus pandemic.
It is a means to implement a method some consider a fraud risk.
“Every registered voter should be allowed to #VoteByMail in future elections,” Omar tweeted, “no questions asked.”
Plenty of Questions
There is a reason Democrats are desperately trying to prolong the crisis in America to the point where it can affect the elections in November, but this particular option carries with it some major concerns.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently explained vote-by-mail “would instantly destroy the public’s faith in election outcomes, and hence our democracy itself.”
Mail-in ballots are considered by many as a means of allowing voter fraud.
Indeed, there have been some prominent examples of voter fraud involving mail-in ballots – debacles in North Carolina and Texas to name a couple.

Omar Really Wants This
Vote-by-mail appears to be the lone policy effort coming from Democrats in a time of crisis and it’s pretty easy to understand why. Their goal is always to compromise elections and undermine democracy.
Potential vice presidential running mate to Joe Biden, Stacey Abrams, has been calling for it. Former first lady Michelle Obama wants it, as does former first lady Hillary Clinton. Adam Schiff is thrilled by the prospect. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been perpetually trying to sneak it into coronavirus relief packages.
Omar, though, has been calling for this system of voting through mail-in ballots consistently and for some time now.

A Michigan pilot who is frustrated with Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer sent her a brutal message by writing “ F U ” in the sky .
After Whitmer extended her state ’ s lockdown order through May 28 last Thursday , small business owner Ed Frederick decided that he needed to voice his frustrations against her , according to The Blaze .
Instead of writing her a letter or an email , however , Frederick decided to show off his anger against the governor in a much more public way .
On Friday morning , Frederick got in his Piper @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a straightforward message to Whitmer that was sure to hit her right where it hurts .
As he flew over the city of Grand Rapids , Frederick clearly spelled out the letters “ F U ” with his flightpath , capping off the message with an arrow pointing to the governor ’ s mansion .
“ The government , no matter Democrats or Republicans , always seem like they ’ re trying to do something just to prove they ’ re doing something , without weighing the ramifications , ” Frederick , 45 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ It ’ s a power trip.
” “ That ’ s been an issue for a lot of people in the rural counties , ” Frederick continued .
“ There are 82 counties , but really only four need to be locked down .
[ Whitmer ] says this is for the safety of Michigan , but I think it ’ s for the safety of her keeping her votes , because the southeast is highly democratic.
” “ I don ’ t need the government to wipe my tushie every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Let me know what the problems are going to be and let me know what the ramifications are ; I ’ m responsible for myself.
” Frederick ’ s move came one day after a lockdown protest at the state capitol in Lansing in which some of the protesters were armed .
While he supports their right to protest , Frederick does not think they should be armed because it ’ s “ not painting them in a good light.
” “ We have an open carry , but just because it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mean you should do it — it ’ s sort of like [ the virus ] , ” Frederick said .
Perhaps the protesters should take a page out of Frederick ’ s playbook , and find other ways to send messages to Whitmer !

Cruz Introduces Legislation To Halt Hollywood Studios That Facilitate Chinese Censorship Using DOD Assets

Ted Cruz has introduced legislation that would stop Hollywood studios that are complicit in Chinese censorship from using Department of Defense assets .
Cruz : US Government Will Not “ Facilitate Chinese Censorship ” The “ Stopping Censorship , Restoring Integrity , Protecting Talkies Act , ” or SCRIPT Act , would prevent the Department of Defense from providing access to assets , military advice , and other assistance , to Hollywood studios that allow Chinese censorship of their films .
In a statement , Cruz slammed Hollywood studios for kowtowing to communist censorship tactics : From buying media outlets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hollywood studios and sports leagues to self-censor by threatening to cut off access to one of the biggest markets for sports and entertainment in the world , the Chinese Communist Party spends billions and billions of dollars to mislead Americans about China and shape what our citizens see , hear , and think .
All of these activities are part of China ’ s whole-of-state approach to amass more influence around the world through information warfare , and we need to put a stop to it .
For too long , Hollywood has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and propaganda in the name of bigger profits .
The SCRIPT Act will serve as a wake-up call by forcing Hollywood studios to choose between the assistance they need from the American government and the dollars they want from China .
Cruz spoke to Tucker Carlson on Fox News about the legislation , saying that the US government is not “ going to facilitate Chinese communist censorship.

Ted Cruz has introduced legislation that would stop Hollywood studios that are complicit in Chinese censorship from using Department of Defense assets.
Cruz: US Government Will Not “Facilitate Chinese Censorship”
The “Stopping Censorship, Restoring Integrity, Protecting Talkies Act,” or SCRIPT Act, would prevent the Department of Defense from providing access to assets, military advice, and other assistance, to Hollywood studios that allow Chinese censorship of their films. In a statement, Cruz slammed Hollywood studios for kowtowing to communist censorship tactics:
From buying media outlets to broadcast propaganda into America to coercing Hollywood studios and sports leagues to self-censor by threatening to cut off access to one of the biggest markets for sports and entertainment in the world, the Chinese Communist Party spends billions and billions of dollars to mislead Americans about China and shape what our citizens see, hear, and think. All of these activities are part of China’s whole-of-state approach to amass more influence around the world through information warfare, and we need to put a stop to it. For too long, Hollywood has been complicit in China’s censorship and propaganda in the name of bigger profits. The SCRIPT Act will serve as a wake-up call by forcing Hollywood studios to choose between the assistance they need from the American government and the dollars they want from China.
Cruz spoke to Tucker Carlson on Fox News about the legislation, saying that the US government is not “going to facilitate Chinese communist censorship.” The Texas Senator said that the coronavirus pandemic “should be a wake up call to the entire world” about the enormity of the Chinese problem.
“The problem of censorship is a massive problem within China. China’s own censorship and coverup of this [coronavirus] pandemic helped produce 257,000 deaths worldwide,” he noted, adding that “when it comes to Hollywood, Hollywood is not an innocent bystander here.”
Cruz argued that Hollywood is “fully complicit,” and works with the Chinese censors because “there’s so much money at stake.”
The Film Industry Doesn’t Want To Annoy The CCP!
As an example of this censorship, Cruz brought up the removal of the Taiwanese and Japanese flags from the back of Maverick’s jacket in the recent sequel to Top Gun.
“The original Top Gun may have been the greatest Navy recruiting film ever made,” Cruz said. “Both of the flags were on the back of Maverick’s jacket, and the studios didn’t want to tick off the Chinese censors so they pulled it down. What are we saying to the world that Maverick is afraid of the Chinese communists?”
Cruz also discussed the fact that in the biopic film Bohemian Rhapsody, the studios removed scenes relating to Freddie Mercury’s sexuality after being pressured by Chinese censors.
“Pause to think about how many Hollywood producers like to virtue signal about their courage and free speech and artistic integrity and yet they happily try to edit out the fact that Freddie Mercury is gay? It’s extraordinary,” Cruz added.
Senator Cruz is spot on! If Hollywood thinks bowing to Chinese demands is more important, then they can go on right ahead and not receive any co-operation from the government. I don’t know about you, but I’d quite like to know which studios are loyal to the CCP and not to their own country.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton have called for the release of a Dallas salon owner who was jailed for keeping her business open .

Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton have called for the release of a Dallas salon owner who was jailed for keeping her business open.
“Feeding My Kids Is Not Selfish”
Shelley Luther was sentenced to a week in jail for continuing to operate the salon after ripping up a cease and desist letter issued by Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins that was sent to her on April 24th. Luther had violated the Stay Home, Work Safe orders issued by Governor Greg Abbott during the coronavirus pandemic.
In a hearing on Tuesday, Luther was defiant when a judge told her to apologize for keeping Salon A La Mode open.
“Feeding my kids is not selfish,” Luther told District Judge Eric Moyé. “If you think the law is more important than kids getting fed, then please go ahead with your decision, but I am not going to shut the salon.”
Ken Patton, the Texas Attorney General, said in a statement that he felt the arrest of Luther was nothing more than a “political stunt”:
I find it outrageous and out of touch that during this national pandemic, a judge, in a county that actually released hardened criminals for fear of contracting COVID-19, would jail a mother for operating her hair salon in an attempt to put food on her family’s table. The trial judge did not need to lock up Shelley Luther. His order is a shameful abuse of judicial discretion, which seems like another political stunt in Dallas. He should release Ms. Luther immediately.
This was echoed by Governor Greg Abbott himself, despite him issuing the order.
“I join the Attorney General in disagreeing with the excessive action by the Dallas Judge, putting Shelley Luther in jail for seven days. As I have made clear through prior pronouncements, jailing Texans for non-compliance with executive orders should always be the last available option,” Abbott said. “Compliance with executive orders during this pandemic is important to ensure public safety; however, surely there are less restrictive means to achieving that goal than jailing a Texas mother.”

Texas Is A Common Sense State!
Given that Abbott has announced that nail and hair salons and barbershops will be allowed to open from Friday across Texas, albeit following social distancing guidelines, I completely agree with the Governor and Attorney General. A jail sentence is completely unnecessary, especially given that jails across the country have been letting dangerous prisoners go during the coronavirus outbreak.
I’m glad to see that Texas has at least got some people with a little bit of common sense in charge, unlike some other states.

On Wednesday ’ s episode of the ABC talk show “ The View , ” Whoopi Goldberg tried to claim that Donald Trump was too afraid to let Dr. Anthony Fauci testify before the House of Representatives , but her cohost Meghan McCain was not having any of it .
Goldberg suggested that the only reason that Trump barred Fauci from testifying before the House was that he was afraid , asking McCain if she agreed with her .
McCain completely disagreed , pointing out that the possibility of grandstanding and political theater from the Democrat-led House is reason enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ McCain then shifted to saying that it ’ s not Fauci that Congress should be looking for answers from .
“ I ’ m the most interested in where China lied to us and got it wrong , ” McCain said , going on to repeat the tagline , “ China lied , people died.

“ And I don ’ t like — and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this — I don ’ t like Anthony Fauci being used for any kind of political purposes one way or the other , because he is a scientist and he is a doctor and he is someone who is really leading this country through a difficult time.

Hollywood Liberals Like Barbra Streisand And Jane Fonda Team Up To Use Coronavirus To Demand Climate Change Reforms

To fuel their own climate change agenda , the liberal elites of Hollywood have come together this week to shamelessly use the coronavirus pandemic that has killed tens of thousands of people all over the globe .
A lengthy list of wealthy celebrities that includes Barbra Streisand , Jane Fonda , Robert De Niro , Madonna and Joaquin Phoenix signed their names to an editorial published today in Le Monde , the largest newspaper in France .
The radically leftwing op-ed demanded a total overhaul of economies around the world in order to save the environment from climate change .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Normal , ” the article was written by actress Juliette Binoche and astrophysicist Aurélien Barrau , both of whom argued that we are in the midst of a massive extinction event .
“ The Covid-19 pandemic is a tragedy .
This crisis , however , has an upside in giving us the chance to examine what is essential , ” the editorial states , according to Breitbart News .
“ The ongoing ecological catastrophe is a ‘ meta-crisis ’ : the massive extinction of life on Earth is no longer in doubt , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ existential threat .
Unlike a pandemic , however serious it may be , it ’ s a question of a global ecological collapse whose effects will be immeasurable.
” They went on to say that it is “ unthinkable to ‘ go back to normal ’ ” once the coronavirus pandemic is over .
“ Consumerism has led us to deny the value of life itself : that of plants , that of animals , and that of a large number of human beings .
Pollution , climate change , and the destruction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a breaking point , ” they wrote .
“ For these reasons , along with growing social inequalities , we believe it is unthinkable to ‘ go back to normal.
’ ” Other Hollywood stars who signed their names to the piece include Adam Driver , Cate Blanchett , Rooney Mara , Penelope Cruz , Javier Bardem , Jeremy Irons , and Willem Dafoe .
Liberal celebrities have wasted no time in politicizing coronavirus and using it to push their radical environmentalist agendas .
We reported earlier today that documentary filmmaker Michael @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s revenge on the human race , saying it was nature ’ s way of “ trying to tell our species to back off , slow down , and change your ways.
” Fonda , who signed the op-ed , demanded last Friday that funds being allocated to coronavirus relief be used to fight climate change instead .
It ’ s unbelievable that in the midst of an unprecedented global pandemic that is killing thousands all over the world , all these wealthy elites can think about is how they can use @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unrelated agendas .
