thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-06--Facebook Removes President Trump’s Message About Coronavirus – Twitter Freezes His Account

Well , it was inevitable .
As we get closer to the fall election campaign the Democrat and hard left full court press against the president is starting to take shape .
One of their first lines of attack was predictably trying to disrupt the president ’ s ability to communicate with voters .
It started Wednesday night as both Facebook and Twitter announced they were censoring the president ’ s posts .
It won ’ t end there .
It began with a Trump post about children possibly not being as at risk to COVID as are adults .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ interview .
The post and tweet merely quoted data that has been in the public dialogue about the virus for several months .
“ My view is the schools should open .
This thing ’ s going away .
It will go away like things go away .
And my view is that schools should be open .
If you look at children , children are almost — and I would almost say , definitely — but almost immune from this disease .
So few , they ’ ve got stronger , hard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know how you feel about it , but they have much stronger immune systems than we do somehow for this… They don ’ t have a problem .
They just don ’ t have a problem… They are virtually immune from this problem.
” President Trump clarified the issue at a White House briefing on Wednesday , “ If you look at children , they are able to throw it off very easily and it ’ s an amazing thing , because some flus they don ’ t , they get very sick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to handle it very well , and that ’ s according to every statistic.
” But that data didn ’ t matter to Facebook and Twitter , as they are looking for excuses to censor the president .
Twitter has not been shy about its anti-Trump bias .
However , this is the first time Facebook has erased a presidential post .
Facebook charged , “ This video includes false claims that a group of people is immune from COVID-19 which is a violation of our policies around harmful COVID misinformation.
” Twitter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ in violation of the Twitter rules on COVID-19 misinformation ” and that the president ’ s reelection campaign will “ be required to remove the Tweet before they can Tweet again.
” The Trump campaign complied and removed the tweet .
The president ’ s various Twitter accounts are operational again .
Carl Tobias , a left wing law professor at the University of Richmond , applauded the censorship : “ Facebook has been too lenient with Trump , particularly when the falsehood involves public health and children .
A stricter stance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ season heats up .
I think Twitter ’ s action may be even more important because it seems to be Trump ’ s favorite way to communicate .
Having two big players in the social media space may embolden others to crack down on the false information.
” The Trump campaign was quick to respond , “ Another day , another display of Silicon Valley ’ s flagrant bias against this President , where the rules are only enforced in one direction .
Social media companies are not the arbiters of truth.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the president on social media will become more pronounced as election day draws nearer .

Well, it was inevitable. As we get closer to the fall election campaign the Democrat and hard left full court press against the president is starting to take shape.
One of their first lines of attack was predictably trying to disrupt the president’s ability to communicate with voters. It started Wednesday night as both Facebook and Twitter announced they were censoring the president’s posts. It won’t end there.
It began with a Trump post about children possibly not being as at risk to COVID as are adults. The post was from a Fox News interview. The post and tweet merely quoted data that has been in the public dialogue about the virus for several months.
The president specifically said:
“My view is the schools should open. This thing’s going away. It will go away like things go away. And my view is that schools should be open. If you look at children, children are almost — and I would almost say, definitely — but almost immune from this disease.

Facebook charged, “This video includes false claims that a group of people is immune from COVID-19 which is a violation of our policies around harmful COVID misinformation.”

The post linked to a video in which Trump says children are “virtually immune” to the virus. https://t.co/YvpUh2Ylh5 — The Associated Press (@AP) August 5, 2020
Twitter told media Trump’s tweet was “in violation of the Twitter rules on COVID-19 misinformation” and that the president’s reelection campaign will “be required to remove the Tweet before they can Tweet again.” The Trump campaign complied and removed the tweet. The president’s various Twitter accounts are operational again.
Carl Tobias, a left wing law professor at the University of Richmond, applauded the censorship:
“Facebook has been too lenient with Trump, particularly when the falsehood involves public health and children. A stricter stance could have important consequences as the election season heats up. I think Twitter’s action may be even more important because it seems to be Trump’s favorite way to communicate.

The Trump campaign was quick to respond, “Another day, another display of Silicon Valley’s flagrant bias against this President, where the rules are only enforced in one direction. Social media companies are not the arbiters of truth.”
And so it begins. The censorship of the president on social media will become more pronounced as election day draws nearer.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-06--Michelle Obama Slips Up – Says COVID Is An Opportunity To Change ‘How Wealth Is Distributed’

During Wednesday ’ s episode of her new podcast , former First Lady Michelle Obama slipped up and appeared to reveal the Left ’ s true agenda behind the coronavirus pandemic .
While talking to journalist Michele Norris , Obama said that the coronavirus pandemic was actually an opportunity to think about “ how wealth is distributed ” to lower-income essential workers .
“ There ’ s kind of a new COVID vocabulary , isn ’ t it , ” Norris said to start off the conversation .
“ There are also words that have always had some meaning , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the word hero , the word essential.
” “ I think we will forever think about the word ‘ essential ’ in a different way , ” she added .
“ And , when we were told to stay home , they got up , got dressed , and went out into the world , risking their lives , to drive garbage trucks , to work in warehouses , to work in grocery stores , to work in hospitals .
Often doing invisible , but yes , essential work , and I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not sure that we treat them like they ’ re essential.
” Obama immediately took this and ran with it with her response , showing once again that Democrats have no intention of letting this crisis go to waste .
“ And that ’ s something that we need to , that ’ s a part of that reflection , that we need to do , you know .
With ourselves , and , and as a community , ” the former First Lady said .
“ And we have to think about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is distributed.
” Later on in the podcast , Obama made it clear once again that she sees the deadly COVID-19 pandemic , which has killed millions of people around the globe , as yet another opportunity to shove her leftwing agenda down the throats of the American people .
“ It ’ s not enough to just acknowledge that the pain exists , to acknowledge the struggle , we actually have power we can , we can change so much of what we do , we can sacrifice a little more , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , uh , and not just in our own lives , cause it ’ s not enough , to just do it in your own life if you ’ re not willing to do it in our broader policy , ” she said .
“ You know , if that , if that , if those conversations aren ’ t going to happen , then we ’ re just giving lip service to it .
You know.
” Obama even managed to shift the conversation to her precious school lunch agenda , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ First Lady : “ We ’ ve seen these times in our history before , not just like this , but , but , but when things are good , it ’ s easy to forget about that .
To take it for granted .
To start thinking , yeah , how much , do I really want my taxes going to that , and school lunches ?
Eh .
You know , that ’ s a lot of money .
What does it matter — let ’ s cut this , let @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all of that came , all the things that we look to cut were put in place in response to some crisis .
That revealed to us that , hey , there are a lot of hungry kids , at home , because their parents are poor , so what ’ s the best way to feed them , we ’ re going to provide them with nutrition , at school .
So , we , we have it , in our country ’ s DNA to step up .

Not all on the left are supportive of the rioters, however. Mayor Ted Wheeler was himself tear-gassed along with the rioters when they stormed a federal courthouse several weeks ago. Now, he warns the rioters that their actions are not conducive to the left triumphing in the election in November, and instead will only help President Trump.
“Don’t think for a moment that if you are participating in this activity, you are not being a prop for the reelection campaign of Donald Trump — because you absolutely are,” Wheeler said. “You are creating the B-roll film that will be used in ads nationally to help Donald Trump during this campaign. If you don’t want to be part of that, then don’t show up.”
He had even stronger words for the rioters, accusing them of trying to murder police officers and innocents:
“When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder,” Wheeler said during an online press conference Thursday.
The Violent Left Will Get Trump Supporters Out To Vote!
I don’t usually agree with Democrats, but Wheeler is exactly right. If these riots continue as they are now, they only serve to show just how violent and aggressive the left in this country actually is. Should Biden get elected, the riots will continue, and get worse, and Trump supporters know that.


thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-07--President Trump Blasts Biden For Bizarre Comments About Black Community

President Donald Trump has said that Joe Biden is “ no longer worthy of the black vote ” after the former VP made remarks insinuating they were a monolith .
Earlier this week , Biden had a one-two punch of racist gaffes .
First , when a black interviewer asked him if he had done a cognitive test or not , Biden shot back , asking whether the interviewer was on cocaine or not .
Then , on Thursday , Biden spoke to a panel of the National Association of Black Journalists , and insinuated they were all a monolith @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .
“ Sleepy Joe Biden Is No Longer Worthy Of The Black Vote !
” “ Joe Biden this morning totally disparaged and insulted the black community , ” the President told reporters outside the White House on Thursday , in response to Biden ’ s comments .

President Donald Trump has said that Joe Biden is “no longer worthy of the black vote” after the former VP made remarks insinuating they were a monolith.
“Are You A Junkie??”
Earlier this week, Biden had a one-two punch of racist gaffes. First, when a black interviewer asked him if he had done a cognitive test or not, Biden shot back, asking whether the interviewer was on cocaine or not.
“Are you a junkie??” Biden asked him.

Then, on Thursday, Biden spoke to a panel of the National Association of Black Journalists, and insinuated they were all a monolith.
“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.

“Sleepy Joe Biden Is No Longer Worthy Of The Black Vote!”
“Joe Biden this morning totally disparaged and insulted the black community,” the President told reporters outside the White House on Thursday, in response to Biden’s comments. “What he said is incredible and I don’t know what’s going on with him, but it was a very insulting statement he made.”
Then in a tweet on Friday, the President doubled down.
“After yesterday’s statement, Sleepy Joe Biden is no longer worthy of the Black Vote!” the President said.

In fact, Joe Biden has shown he isn’t even sorry for his comments!
“In no way did I mean to suggest the African American community is a monolith—not by identity, not on issues, not at all,” Biden said in a statement. “Throughout my career I’ve witnessed the diversity of thought, background, and sentiment within the African American community.”
“It’s this diversity that makes our workplaces, communities, and country a better place,” Biden continued. “My commitment to you is this: I will always listen, I will never stop fighting for the African American community and I will never stop fighting for a more equitable future.”

Wow.
If this hasn’t shown just how racist Biden is, I don’t know what will! Biden will keep losing the black community, and more and more of them will vote for President Trump in November.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-07--President Trump Signs New Executive Order That Essentially Bans TikTok In 45 Days – China Fires Back

President Donald Trump just signed executive orders that will ban U.S. transactions with Chinese technology giants Tencent and ByteDance .
The order will go into effect in 45 days , and will effectively ban Tencent ’ s WeChat app and ByteDance ’ s TikTok app .
In signing the orders , President Trump argued that the ban needed to happen because of security concerns with TikTok , a short-form video app , as well as with WeChat , a social media and mobile payment app .
The executive order states : “ The spread in the United States of mobile @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the People ’ s Republic of China ( China ) continues to threaten the national security , foreign policy , and economy of the United States .
“ TikTok automatically captures vast swaths of information from its users , including Internet and other network activity information such as location data and browsing and search histories .

This data collection threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans ’ personal and proprietary information .
In addition , the application captures the personal and proprietary information of Chinese nationals visiting the United States , thereby allowing the Chinese Communist Party a mechanism for keeping tabs on Chinese citizens who may be enjoying the benefits of a free society for the first time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ States must take aggressive action against the owner of WeChat to protect our national security.
” TikTok has already fired back by saying that it is “ shocked ” by Trump ’ s order , alleging that it was “ issued without any due process.

“ For nearly a year , we have sought to engage with the US government in good faith to provide a constructive solution to the concerns that have been expressed , ” TikTok said in a statement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the Administration paid no attention to facts , dictated terms of an agreement without going through standard legal processes , and tried to insert itself into negotiations between private businesses .
“ And it sets a dangerous precedent for the concept of free expression and open markets .
We will pursue all remedies available to us in order to ensure that the rule of law is not discarded and that our company and our users are treated fairly — if not by the Administration , then by the US courts.
” China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also responded to the order on Friday , saying that Beijing will defend the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese businesses .

“The spread in the United States of mobile applications developed and owned by companies in the People’s Republic of China (China) continues to threaten the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. “TikTok automatically captures vast swaths of information from its users, including Internet and other network activity information such as location data and browsing and search histories. This data collection threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans’ personal and proprietary information — potentially allowing China to track the locations of Federal employees and contractors, build dossiers of personal information for blackmail, and conduct corporate espionage.”
The second executive order doubles down on this, stating:
“Like TikTok, WeChat automatically captures vast swaths of information from its users. This data collection threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans’ personal and proprietary information.

“For nearly a year, we have sought to engage with the US government in good faith to provide a constructive solution to the concerns that have been expressed,” TikTok said in a statement. “What we encountered instead was that the Administration paid no attention to facts, dictated terms of an agreement without going through standard legal processes, and tried to insert itself into negotiations between private businesses.

China’s foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin also responded to the order on Friday, saying that Beijing will defend the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese businesses. He went on to warn that the U.S. will have to bear the consequences of its actions.
“The U.S. is using national security as an excuse and using state power to oppress non-American businesses,” Wang said. “That’s just a hegemonic practice. China is firmly opposed to that.”
Word on whether or not the new legislation will impact the ability for companies who sell TikTok likes and followers to continue operations is unknown, according to a source familiar to the matter.

I know one thing for a certain fact .
Public education in this nation with its current curriculum and how it is implemented is totally antithetical to the existence and survival of the US .
The teacher ’ s unions and the left hate corporations and capitalism , yet their plush public pensions depend on a healthy investment climate .
But since they demand taxpayers make up any investment losses , it is no skin off their nose if they keep destroying the US economy and give us a lost generation of K-12 students .

What can you expect from schools that have become branches of the leftist-liberal propaganda machine where children are taught to despise their country and themselves for the perceived sin of “white supremacy”.
If they survive public school they go on to universities and colleges where the self-destruction is 10 times more severe at the hands of proudly Marxist/fascist instructors protected by tenure.

The pandemic has brought focus to our lousy schools, teachers, unions, and the leftist curricula. Most parents will do what is in the best interest of their own kids. The change will happen if enough parents demand it.
The federal government has no reason nor authority to have anything to do with education.
