BRACE YOURSELF : Elizabeth Warren Just Made Another Wildly Inaccurate Claim About Herself ( VIDEO ) Elizabeth Warren has an issue with telling the truth .
She claimed to be a Native American and that was false .
She claimed she was once fired from a teaching job for being pregnant , but her own telling of the story years ago was completely different .
Now she has done it again .
During a recent campaign stop , she claimed she is the only candidate running who has executive experience .
Warren claims she is the only person running with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she was the only White House hopeful who has spent any time in the executive branch on government at an Iowa rally , seemingly forgetting about a number of her rivals .
The remarks came after an audience member asked her when she plans on using presidential authority for some of her policy agenda instead of relying on Congress .
“ That ’ s a really good question .
Let me remind you , I think , I ’ m the only one running for president whose actually been on the executive side @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Remember , after the consumer agency was passed into law , Barack Obama , President Obama , asked me to set it up .
So I set up a federal agency .
We effectively went from two employees the day I walked in the door to about 1000 and spent a year getting it up and operational.
” … Joe Biden was vice president for eight years .
He may not have been good at the job , but it certainly qualifies as executive experience .
The Washington Examiner points out other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , former mayors Pete Buttigieg of South Bend and Michael Bloomberg of New York may also have a bone to pick with Warren ’ s comments .
Before Sanders served in the House and later the Senate , he was the mayor of Burlington , Vermont , from 1981 to 1989 .
Buttigieg , who just left office this month , has also claimed that his role as mayor of South Bend has given him the necessary experience to jump to the White House .
Similarly , Bloomberg has pointed to his record @ @ @ @ @ @ @ largest city as evidence he ’ s up for the job of president .
This is a pattern with Warren .
It seems like she is simply incapable of telling the truth .

Elizabeth Warren has an issue with telling the truth.

Now she has done it again.
During a recent campaign stop, she claimed she is the only candidate running who has executive experience.
That’s simply not true.
The Washington Examiner reports:

Elizabeth Warren said she was the only White House hopeful who has spent any time in the executive branch on government at an Iowa rally, seemingly forgetting about a number of her rivals.

Let me remind you, I think, I’m the only one running for president whose actually been on the executive side,” Warren said Friday evening. “Remember, after the consumer agency was passed into law, Barack Obama, President Obama, asked me to set it up. So I set up a federal agency. We effectively went from two employees the day I walked in the door to about 1000 and spent a year getting it up and operational.”…

Both he and Rosenblum say they remove themselves from decisions about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as they ask law firms for reelection money .

“ I have that same reaction anytime we ’ re lucky enough to have a contribution from someone .
Beyond that , you ’ d have to ask them.
” The firms , for their part , largely refuse to discuss their donations .
One Florida attorney who did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in supporting candidates that align with her values .
Read and Rosenblum both dismissed any suggestion that Oregonians might be suspicious their campaigns are being funded by people who want state business .
They argue class-action lawsuits are , first and foremost , a way to battle corporate misdeeds and pry back millions of dollars from powerful interests .
“ There are corporations in the world who are doing bad things , who are misrepresenting their behavior , who are tolerating sexual harassment , who are signing customers up for things they didn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ And there are people out there who are holding them accountable .
… If that ’ s the question , I ’ m happy to have the support of those good guys.
” Not everyone who ’ s received interest from those good guys is as sanguine about the arrangement .
In 2012 , when he was battling Rosenblum in the Democratic primary for attorney general , Dwight Holton received more than $ 55,000 from securities class-action law firms in a four-month span .
Oh but it gets worse .
Former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Randall Edwards got a bill passed that , on the outside , looked like it would be protecting pensioners .
Enter the vulture lawyers who sought to profit bigly : Oregon law used to prohibit the state pension fund — which wields $ 75 billion that it invests for retirees — from suing on behalf of itself and others .
That changed during the 2007 legislative session , when then-Treasurer Randall Edwards pushed a bill to allow Oregon to serve as a lead plaintiff in class-action lawsuits , effectively taking a more aggressive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ From my perspective , this was another way to protect investments and to protect investors , ” Edwards said recently .
By serving as lead plaintiff , officials at the Oregon State Treasury and Department of Justice argued they could win back millions lost when a company ’ s stocks tanked because of its own misdeeds .
Oregon could use its heft to force companies to implement lasting fixes , they said .
Securities class-action suits — the technical term for the cases — can generate huge paydays for firms who take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back a small portion of investors ’ total losses .
But the suits come with risks .
Attorneys often receive no money unless the outcome is favorable to the investors they represent .
In the years after that act passed , big checks started flowing to pension officials in states like New York , Louisiana and Ohio , spurring concerns about impropriety .
In 2009 , for instance , the treasurer of Rhode Island returned thousands of dollars in contributions from firms angling to represent that state in class-action suits , acknowledging the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conflict of interest that he wanted to avoid .
Even before Oregon filed its first class-action suit in April 2009 , class-action firms had pumped tens of thousands of dollars into the campaign accounts of then-Treasurer Ben Westlund and Attorney General John Kroger .
In the last 11 years , firms or their lawyers have given at least $ 690,000 in Oregon .
About 93 % of that money has gone to incumbent attorneys general or state treasurers , or to leading candidates for those posts when no incumbent exists .
The interest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coincidence .
The Oregon Department of Justice , overseen by the attorney general , selects which law firm will get the contract for a given case .
To make that decision , it relies on a short list of firms pre-cleared to work for Oregon — a list that DOJ lawyers create with input from the Oregon Treasury Department .
Firms on this short list have the ear of state officials .
They can monitor lawsuits and news reports nationwide , and pitch the state on companies it might sue .
And often @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that work , law firms are writing checks .
Ted Wheeler [ yes , that Ted Wheeler who is now `` mayor ” of vichy Portland ] , who became treasurer in 2010 , took at least $ 33,000 in contributions from class-action firms or their individual attorneys .
Attorney General John Kroger , who pursued lead status in seven class actions while in office , received more than $ 115,000 in contributions affiliated with law firms , three of which were tapped to represent the state under his watch .
The most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have benefited from more generous giving than any of their predecessors .
Rosenblum has accepted at least $ 141,000 from plaintiffs firms since her first attorney general race in 2012 .
As of early December , about 18 % of the money the attorney general ’ s reelection campaign reported collecting in 2019 came from out-of-state firms interested in class actions .
Read , meanwhile , has enjoyed more support from firms in the business of class-action suits than any other Oregon elected official .
As of Dec. 3 , he had reported @ @ @ @ @ @ @ firms in 2019 , accounting for 41 % of the $ 250,418 his campaign had taken in for the year .
In 2018 , the same year the state began updating the list of firms eligible to handle cases on Oregon ’ s behalf , Read accepted $ 55,000 from many of the same entities — a full 30 % of his contributions .
In total , Read has received more than a quarter-million dollars from firms or attorneys with an interest in class-action work , state records show .
None of them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his previous role as a state representative .
Adam Pritchard , a University of Michigan law professor who has also studied this system , takes a more cynical view of what Forbes once called the “ class-action industrial complex.
” “ There are two motivations , if you are a state politician , to bring securities fraud class actions , ” Pritchard said .
“ One is to reap campaign contributions , and the other is political grandstanding .
The two are not mutually exclusive.
” Since 2008 , the state has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ information supplied by the Department of Justice .
In every one of them , the state was represented by an out-of-state firm that — either before it was selected or after — became a major campaign donor in Oregon .
VanderHart used one case study as an example of these kickbacks : Here ’ s one example : After the mortgage crisis hit in 2008 , Oregon ’ s pension fund lost $ 46 million via investments in two financial institutions : Bear Stearns and Countrywide Mortgage-Backed Securities .
Oregon officials believed they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the companies , and the size of the state ’ s losses put it in a prime place to lead class-action suits .
So Attorney General Kroger and Treasurer Wheeler filed two lawsuits in 2010 .
The state chose Washington , D.C. , firm Cohen , Milstein , Sellers & Toll to represent its interests .
“ Oregon is taking a stand against predatory lenders and the financial wreckage they caused for families and for investors including Oregonians , ” Wheeler said at the time .
The cases took years to play @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Cohen Milstein became an enthusiastic campaign supporter in Oregon .
The law firm donated $ 10,000 to Kroger in August 2011 .
Wheeler got a boost , too , pulling in $ 8,000 from the firm or its employees for his 2012 reelection .
For good measure , Cohen Milstein put $ 10,000 apiece into the campaigns of Democrats Dwight Holton and Rosenblum , who ran against each other in 2012 to replace Kroger as attorney general .
In total , the firm and its lawyers have contributed at least $ 45,625 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2012 , and been tapped to represent Oregon in securities class-action suits four separate times .
Those contributions are a pittance compared to what Cohen Milstein has reaped by working for the state .
Out of $ 1 billion recovered via settlements in the Bear Stearns and Countrywide suits , Cohen Milstein and other firms were awarded around $ 170 million from the settlement funds — awards that were sought by the firms and approved by a judge .
In one of those cases , currently under appeal , Cohen ’ s attorneys @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hour .
The firm would not answer questions about its interest in Oregon politics .

Major Antifa Website Publishes Pro-Gun Op-Ed From Virginia Resident Planning to Attend Richmond Rally

It ’ s Going Down , arguably the largest Antifa website on the internet , has published a lengthy op-ed in support of gun rights from a Virginia militant leftist planning to attend the Second Amendment rally in Richmond this Monday .
The anonymously penned piece titled “ With Neither Tyrants Nor Fascists : An Anarchist Analysis Of The Growing Fight Against Anti-Gun Legislation In Virginia , ” makes a surprisingly reasonable argument for why they oppose anti-gun legislation and mocks the theories that Antifa is planning to go to the rally just to instigate problems .
On January 20 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to take over Richmond ’ s “ Lobby Day ” in support of the Second Amendment .
The rally is expected to draw tens of thousands of people , many from militias across the country — as well as at least one Antifa group from the state .
The group claims that they intend to support the Second Amendment and aren ’ t going to protest against the patriotic Americans who are standing up for their right to protect themselves and those they love .
The author began the article by describing growing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guns is a natural part of life .
“ Here , they are as divisive as they are ubiquitous .
Guns are pulled out at parties and argued about over dinner .
They are bought and sold at pawn shops , advertised on billboards , given away in raffles , traded informally , gifted , stolen , won in poker games , and even sold on Facebook .
Anyone over 18 with a valid driver ’ s license and clean record can rent one at a shooting range or buy one from their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ note that meat hunted with guns is “ used for survival , shared between neighbors , or donated to the elderly , ” but that many residents of the state “ know someone impacted by their violence : someone who gets into fights , a bystander , a victim of domestic violence or depression or the police .
Many have family , friends , and acquaintances serving long sentences who have been criminalized for their proximity to guns and guns are everywhere.
” The piece goes on to take aim squarely at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rights of their citizens .
“ It has felt surreal and even laughable to many Virginians that a newly Democrat-dominated state government might push through the criminalization of gun possession with proposed sweeping partial bans and regulations .
But this is 2019 in Virginia , and these days we are used to things being very absurd and very surreal .
The Democrats who are proposing these laws rode in on a wave of massive structural changes , redistricting , and also growing anger at Dominion Energy ’ s corporate influence .
The gateway @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the north .
Virginia exists between a suburban future and the pastoral farming past , at the intersection of old world bigotry and patronage and hyper-modern capitalism , ” the author lamented .
It goes on to ponder where exactly “ non-traditional ” gun owners fit in to defending this right , which is something more typically associated with right-wing activism than left .
“ Into this , where do we non-traditional gun owners fit in ?
Who advocates for poor gun owners , and those who happen to not be white , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ourselves .
We can not align with a Democratic political cadre attempting to pass legislation that will felonize us and endanger us to further violence by the police and the Right .
And we can not stand meekly behind the established 2A leadership , keeping quiet as they bicker and rant and platform white nationalists .
We know full well that our presence will be tokenized when it is useful and demonized when it is not .
Their goals are rooted in a long legacy of white vigilantism and State terror .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the author wrote .
“ The prospect of joining either side is enough to make us want to bury our guns in the back yard and open up a book while the talking heads tear each other up on Fox and Friends.
” They next took aim at the claims that Antifa is planning to attend the event to cause problems , describing the fears as “ alarmist ” and writing them off .
“ Into this madness , why should we add our own bodies ?
The Democrats expect us to act @ @ @ @ @ @ @ promise to prosecute us for defending ourselves .
To the Right , it is a given that we are funded by Bloomberg himself , or trained by shadowy forces to make them look ridiculous or violent .
We just live here , we own guns and don ’ t want to see any more of our friends attacked by tech bro neo-Nazis or jealous and rejected men , ” the author wrote .
“ We own guns because we grew up around them , because the threats we face are real and present @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of the breweries to stomp out the closest person they see sleeping on the street .
And so we feel little love for either of these gangs of bussed-in protesters .
This is our home , we ’ ll live here on the 19th and the 21st too.
” The essay concludes by explaining that the left should also use guns to protect themselves and that the state should not be the only ones with guns .
“ We want our freedom in every sense of the word .
And since we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our guns too .
To be quite blunt , a gun is the the only check on this that you can hold in your hand .
So we ’ ll continue to hold them , whether they ’ re legal or not , ” they wrote .

During his appearance Maria asked Don Jr. about Republican donor Les Parnas.
Donald Trump Jr. set the record straight.
Donald Trump Jr.: I met him at some fundraising events. He was a donor to a superpac. He shows up at some of these things like anyone else. Honestly, I didn’t even realize he was Ukrainian I thought he was Israeli. The reality is you don’t know him that well but that’s the problem with how this world works, right? You take a couple pictures with someone. If he’s a donor you stand in line and have dinner with 50 people and that’s how it works. The media then takes it, “Oh!
