This Twitter "fact check" system is such a joke. They cite liberals from outlets like HuffPost, Vox, even the ACLU. Who don't they cite?

Partnering with biased fake news ‘fact checkers’ is a smoke screen to lend Twitter’s obvious political tactics false credibility.

“ End the violence so that we can all focus on making services available to the most vulnerable across the country , on expanding access to human rights , so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A senior Taliban source earlier told AFP the group could extend the ceasefire by seven days if the government speeds up the release of prisoners .

Hundreds more Taliban prisoners freed on last day of Afghan truce
AU News, Yaoo, May 27, 2020:
Afghan authorities freed hundreds more Taliban prisoners on Tuesday, as calls grew for the militants to extend a ceasefire on its third and final day.
The historic pause in fighting — only the second in nearly 19 years of war — has mostly held across Afghanistan, providing a rare respite from the conflict’s grinding violence.
Authorities said they had released about 900 Taliban prisoners across the country on Tuesday, approximately 600 of them from the notorious Bagram jail near Kabul.
The release is part of a pledge by the Afghan government to free up to 2,000 insurgent prisoners in response to the Taliban’s three-day ceasefire offer, which began Sunday to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr.
Abdul Wasi, 27, from Kandahar province, much of which is under Taliban control, said he was a “holy warrior” when he was detained eight years ago.
“I was told … to do jihad until all foreign troops are driven out of our country,” Wasi, sporting a long beard and wearing a traditional baggy shirt-and-trouser shalwar kameez, told AFP moments after he was freed.
He said he was happy about the US-Taliban deal paving the way for all foreign forces to leave Afghanistan by May next year, and that he wanted a permanent ceasefire.
“If the foreign troops exit, we won’t fight,” he said as he boarded a Kabul-bound bus along with other freed Taliban members.
– Calls to ‘extend the ceasefire’ –
The prisoners had signed written pledges not to return to the battlefield, but freed inmate Qari Mohammadullah vowed to continue fighting if foreign forces remain.
“We don’t want foreigners to stay any longer in our country. They must leave immediately,” Mohammadullah said.
“We will continue our jihad until every single foreign force leaves.”
Each former prisoner was given the equivalent of about $65 in Afghan currency. The buses they had boarded at the prison dropped them in Kabul, where they bid goodbyes to each other and took taxis to their homes.
The release of 900 prisoners marked “good progress,” Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen said on Twitter.
He added the group will free a “remarkable” number of Afghan security force personnel, but did not specify when.

“If the Taliban are ready to extend the ceasefire, we are ready to continue the ceasefire too,” Faisal told a news conference.
“We hope they release our prisoners so that intra-Afghan peace talks begin as soon as possible… The future depends on the Taliban’s next move,” he said.
The ceasefire has raised hopes of an extended truce that could pave the way for talks, which had originally been scheduled to start by March 10.
“Extend the ceasefire. Save lives,” Shaharzad Akbar, head of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, said on Twitter.
“End the violence so that we can all focus on making services available to the most vulnerable across the country, on expanding access to human rights, so that we have space to breathe.”
– Kabul pushes for peace talks –
A senior Taliban source earlier told AFP the group could extend the ceasefire by seven days if the government speeds up the release of prisoners.
But insurgent spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said he had no information about an extension.

pamelagellerreport--2020-05-27--ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE: Democrats Aid China by Blocking Probe Into Beijing’s Coronavirus Deceit

Any enemy of America is a friend of the Democrats .
It ’ s become quite clear that the Democrat Party hates our own president so much they would rather protect Communist China than see justice done on behalf of their own constituents .
This week , minority Republicans pushed for an investigation into China ’ s culpability for the coronavirus pandemic and Beijing ’ s efforts into covering up the outbreak once it began .
But instead , majority Democrats blocked them , choosing Beijing over their own country .
“ Coronavirus Committee Dems won ’ t let us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ House Minority Whip Steve Scalise ( R-La . )
tweeted .
“ Why ?

Democrats Aid China by Blocking Probe Into Beijing’s Coronavirus Deceit
By: DC Patriot, May 24, 2020:
It’s become quite clear that the Democrat Party hates our own president so much they would rather protect Communist China than see justice done on behalf of their own constituents.
This week, minority Republicans pushed for an investigation into China’s culpability for the coronavirus pandemic and Beijing’s efforts into covering up the outbreak once it began.
But instead, majority Democrats blocked them, choosing Beijing over their own country.
“Coronavirus Committee Dems won’t let us investigate China’s cover-up,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) tweeted. “Why? – China’s lies caused global suffering & economic devastation – China undermined our efforts to combat the virus – China is reportedly trying to steal our vaccine research They must be held accountable.”

Instead, the committee’s Democrat majority, whose members are more ideologically aligned with the ChiComs than they are with most Americans, are going to focus on President Donald Trump’s response to a pandemic he neither created, covered up, or exacerbated in any way.

PJ Media notes:
Republicans on the committee have repeatedly asked about opening an investigation into China. Lauren Fine, Scalise’s communications director, told PJ Media that in a hearing on Thursday, Republicans on the committee again asked about looking into China, and Democrats again refused them.
“It’s disappointing—but not surprising—that Congressional Democrats have harsher words for President Trump, rather than the Communist Chinese regime responsible for wreaking havoc against our citizens and the rest of the world,” Fine said.
“Republicans on the Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis will continue to press for answers on the origins of this crisis and accountability from the Chinese government and World Health Organization for their deception, and would urge Democrats to put their personal vendetta against President Trump aside to join us in this effort,” she added.

Biden Confuses D-Day With Pearl Harbor

It ’ s so pathetic .
However , we can laugh all we want .
If we do not fight hard to get President Trump re-elected , than this imbecile will be the next POTUS .
No joke , America !
BIDEN : ‘ We Declared Our Independence on December 7th… It ’ s Not Just D-Day… Anyway… ’ https : //t.co/pW7p0qVi6d Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden confused D-Day and Pearl Harbor—as well as the date that Delaware declared its independence from neighboring Pennsylvania—at a Wednesday campaign event .
“ We declared our independence on December the 7th .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Biden said in an online townhall with Pennsylvania governor Tom Wolf , referring to Delaware ’ s breakaway from Pennsylvania .
While President Franklin D. Roosevelt did declare December 7 a day that “ will live in infamy , ” the date marks the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor .
D-Day , the Allied invasion of Normandy , took place almost three years later , on June 6 , 1944 .
Biden also confused the anniversary of Delaware ’ s break from Pennsylvania—June 15 , 1776—with the state ’ s December 7 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Biden ’ s memory has failed him at other times in the 2020 campaign .
Last week , as President Trump drew criticism for firing the State Department ’ s inspector general , Biden forgot that his former administration fired an inspector general .
At a December campaign event , he could not remember what century he served as vice president .

It’s so pathetic. However, we can laugh all we want. If we do not fight hard to get President Trump re-elected, than this imbecile will be the next POTUS. No joke, America!

Biden Confuses D-Day With Pearl Harbor By Washington Free Beacon, May 5, 2020 Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden confused D-Day and Pearl Harbor—as well as the date that Delaware declared its independence from neighboring Pennsylvania—at a Wednesday campaign event. “We declared our independence on December the 7th. It’s not just D-Day,” Biden said in an online townhall with Pennsylvania governor Tom Wolf, referring to Delaware’s breakaway from Pennsylvania. While President Franklin D. Roosevelt did declare December 7 a day that “will live in infamy,” the date marks the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. D-Day, the Allied invasion of Normandy, took place almost three years later, on June 6, 1944. Biden also confused the anniversary of Delaware’s break from Pennsylvania—June 15, 1776—with the state’s December 7, 1787 ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Biden’s memory has failed him at other times in the 2020 campaign. Last week, as President Trump drew criticism for firing the State Department’s inspector general, Biden forgot that his former administration fired an inspector general. At a December campaign event, he could not remember what century he served as vice president.

Radical and corrupt Maxine Waters: Trump’s Dog Whistle Promotes George Floyd Tragedy — Police ‘Enjoyed’ Killing

Rep. Maxine Waters is an utter disgrace .
It ’ s no wonder why her district is among the most impoverished and dangerous in the United States .
Maxine Waters should be a poster girl for term limits in congress .
See to it that the Democrats take a beating in November , America !
Thursday , during an interview with TMZ , Rep. Maxine Waters ( D-CA ) accused President Donald Trump of “ dog-whistling ” which creates an environment that leads to a police officer “ enjoying ” the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis .
Waters said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all the killings of young black men in particular but of course black woman as well , at the hands of police and at the hands if white supremacists .
I ’ m thinking about the way that the president conducts himself in a way he ’ s dog-whistling .
And I think that they are feeling that they can get away with this kind of treatment.
” She added , “ I think that the officer who had his name on his neck enjoyed doing what he was doing .
I believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , thinking I ’ m going to get me one today .
And I think this is his one that he got today .
And he didn ’ t care whether or not anybody was photographing him .
He did what he was doing .
The officers who stood there and watched him are just as guilty as he is .
I ’ m glad that all of them were fired .
If , in fact , you have subdued a suspect that you ’ re not in any danger at all because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s no reason for the police to do what this police did .
And they don ’ t even mention in the report that the knee was on the neck George Floyd .
You give them the right they would say to shoot you if you interfere with an arrest .
And so it is dangerous , and citizens are doing the best job that they could do by photographing it .
They ’ re photographing .
They ’ re showing what is taking place , and what we ’ re finding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work .
Because the justice system will find a way to protect those offices in most cases , they will find justifiable homicide .
And that ’ s what we ’ ve got to deal with .
We ’ ve got to deal with the fact that we ’ re in America with a justice system that does not work for everybody .

Maxine Waters: Trump’s Dog Whistle Promotes George Floyd Tragedy — Police ‘Enjoyed’ Killing By Breitbart, May 28, 2020 Thursday, during an interview with TMZ, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) accused President Donald Trump of “dog-whistling” which creates an environment that leads to a police officer “enjoying” the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Waters said, “I’m reflecting of all the killings of young black men in particular but of course black woman as well, at the hands of police and at the hands if white supremacists. I’m thinking about the way that the president conducts himself in a way he’s dog-whistling. And I think that they are feeling that they can get away with this kind of treatment.” She added, “I think that the officer who had his name on his neck enjoyed doing what he was doing. I believe sometimes some of these offices leave alone, thinking I’m going to get me one today. And I think this is his one that he got today. And he didn’t care whether or not anybody was photographing him. He did what he was doing. The officers who stood there and watched him are just as guilty as he is. I’m glad that all of them were fired. If, in fact, you have subdued a suspect that you’re not in any danger at all because the handcuffs are on him, there’s no reason for the police to do what this police did. And they don’t even mention in the report that the knee was on the neck George Floyd. You give them the right they would say to shoot you if you interfere with an arrest. And so it is dangerous, and citizens are doing the best job that they could do by photographing it. They’re photographing.
