It looks as though the nation's largest news-gathering organization, the Associated Press, is test-marketing the public's reaction to Big Tech actively suppressing President Trump's ability to reach voters directly. Given the shocking revelations of the Project Veritas recordings of Google executives and their memos, and Twitter's banning of conservatives, it is not paranoid to worry about Big Tech trying to define Trump and conservatives as "hate speech"..."because that's how Trump won," and limiting his ability to be heard.
Journalist Andy Ngo was assaulted by Antifa protestors in Portland Saturday afternoon, according to video taken of part of the assault and Ngo himself. (Snip) The video showed Ngo, editor of Quilette, being punched and kicked by masked assailants dressed in black and then being hit by various containers of liquid as he is retreating. He later live-streamed a video of himself describing the assault. His face is scratched and he has blood on his neck. A police officer is heard interviewing him on the livestream. “I just got beat up by the crowd, with no police at all, in the middle of the street,” Ngo said during the livestream.
About Kamala Harris and Busing

Paul has been on top of the apparent Kamala Harris fraud. Harris, attacking Joe Biden for having collaborated with segregationist Democrats in the Senate to oppose school busing, claimed that she was bused as a kid, in Berkeley, and it did her a world of good. (Snip)
Given the demography and geography of Berkeley at the time–she was 10 years old in 1974–it seems highly unlikely that Harris, the daughter of two PhDs, one from India and one from Jamaica, was bused into a white school so she could escape the ghetto and mix with the children of educated parents.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) continued to hit Mayor Pete Buttigieg for his response to a South Bend police officer shooting and killing Eric Logan, asking “where does the buck stop?” “He’s the mayor of a town where a policy was not followed. Someone is dead. So where does the buck stop? He fired the last chief, and so I’m wondering why wouldn’t he fire this chief,” Swalwell said. Swalwell appeared on CNN Newsroom with Ana Cabrera Saturday where he continued to criticize Buttigieg for the shooting in South Bend, Indiana where Buttigieg is mayor.

Democratic Debate Performance with Amazing Impression replies
Welcome to the race, Marianne Williamson. During Thursday night’s Democratic Debate, as Kamala Harris skewered Joe Biden and four white dudes duked it out for a “World’s Best Dad” paper plate award, one candidate made a lasting impression: Williamson, a self-help author with little political experience. Williamson’s performance was truly something to behold (and so are the memes), so naturally, it only took a few minutes for fans to start clamoring for a Saturday Night Live impression. Well, ask and you shall receive, folks.
Jimmy Carter, Electoral Oracle

Jimmy Carter’s latest is at best delusional. It seems almost inconceivable that a former president would say something like this, but we live in a time when all norms have been abandoned by the Democratic Party:
There is no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election.
By buying a tiny handful of Facebook ads that promoted Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein, and attacked Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton, and, allegedly, by phishing the DNC’s email system with the result that more people became aware of the obvious fact that the DNC had helped Hillary get the nomination.
California Sen. Kamala Harris' presidential campaign announced Saturday that it raised $2 million in 24 hours following her breakout moment in Thursday's 2020 Democratic debate. The donations came from more than 63,000 people -- over half of those, 58%, were first time donors, according to the campaign. The average contribution was $30, the campaign said. The campaign said it was its single best fundraising day since Harris launched her bid in January. "We have momentum," said Lily Adams, Harris' communications director. "After her dominant debate performance, where she proved she is the candidate best suited to prosecute the case against
All kinds of Democrats said it, so why not their allies in the media?I’m speaking here of the media chorus that insisted — insisted — that what President Trump, in an Oval Office address to the nation in January called a “humanitarian crisis” at the border — was in fact nothing more than a “manufactured crisis.”It’s one thing for partisan Democrats to make such a preposterous charge thinking they can get away with it. They are in this case, after all, seriously Trump-hating partisans. But the media? Those who insist that an “Apple is not a Banana” because “Facts Come First.”
On Thursday Night at the Democratic Candidate debate the NBC Moderator asked the Democrat politicians:— Raise your hand if your government plan would provide health care coverage for undocumented immigrants. The following committed to free health insurance for illegals: (List/Tweets) On Saturday President Trump was asked about the Democrat debates during his trip to Osaka, Japan for the G20 meetings.
You’re never too old for a bit of summer fun!
Residents at the Oaks at Northpointe in Zanesville, Ohio, slid into summer with a slip-and-slide outside the nursing home on June 7 — and video footage of the sweet outing has been celebrated on social media.
“All the residents loved it!” says Jackie Altier, 35, the executive director of Oaks at Northpointe. “They said that the slip-and-slide event brought back their childhood. They said it reminded them of the good times that they used to have with their families and their kids, and when they were kids. They had a blast.”
President Trump vowed Saturday to “immediately” appeal a judge’s ruling blocking funding for his border wall, while reviving threats to proceed with stalled deportation raids as soon as a week from now.
The president discussed his immigration plans as part of a wide-ranging press conference following the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan.
His administration,(Snip)was dealt a blow Friday when a California judge barred Trump from tapping $2.5 billion in military funding to build high-priority segments of the border wall in California, Arizona and New Mexico.
The Democratic debates this past week provided the clearest evidence yet that many of the leading presidential candidates are breaking with the incremental politics of the Clinton and Obama eras, and are embracing sweeping liberal policy changes on some of the most charged public issues in American life, even at the risk of political backlash. Vowing to eliminate private health insurance, decriminalize illegal immigration and provide government health care benefits to undocumented migrants, high-profile contenders like Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris are wagering that they can energize voters eager to dismantle President Trump’s hard-line policies. But with
Tijuana, Baja California —
Some migrants in Tijuana are trying to purchase children from vulnerable single mothers in local shelters so they can more easily cross into the United States, according to shelter directors, migrants and Tijuana law enforcement authorities.
Migrants in Tijuana shelters said they are alarmed after reports of single mothers being approached by groups of men who have offered to buy children to improve their chances of safely crossing into the United States.
A decades-old legal document, known as the Flores agreement, says migrant children should only be held briefly in U.S. border custody,
Kidnapping. Abuse. Human trafficking. These are just some of the allegations an anonymous plaintiff is making in a suit filed on June 18 against the Church of Scientology and its current leader,David Miscavige, 59. Jane Doe, who’s believed to be around age 40, is suing the church — which boasts a host of famous members, including Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Kelly Preston — for kidnapping, stalking, human trafficking, false imprisonment, libel, slander, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
“The Church of Scientology presents a facade to the outside world to disguise what, in reality, is nothing more than a cult built on mind control,”
Whatever your politics, Kamala Harris had a good night in Miami. Her performance in Part 2 of the first Democratic debate was well-planned, carefully executed, ruthless and impressive. The herd of Democratic candidates for the presidency is astonishingly large. Watching them gather in Miami was like watching a herd of wildebeest descend on a water hole. How can there be so many? How can they all survive?
These people are really sick.
They want every poor child in the world to come to the US and get free healthcare and schooling.
Democrats refuse to secure the border. They refuse to care for suffering Americans. They refuse to defend their country.
But they LOVE talking about bringing hundreds of thousands of poor illegal aliens into the US.
And they LOVE talking about all of the freebies they want to give illegal alien children.

A Minnesota city is reconsidering its decision to no longer say the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of city council meetings after facing major backlash. The St. Louis Park City Council unanimously voted on June 17 to amend the procedure rules so that the pledge would no longer be said before the start of every session in an effort to serve a more “diverse community.” “We concluded that in order to create a more welcoming environment to a diverse community we’re going to forgo saying the Pledge of Allegiance before every meeting,” Council Member Tim Brausen said ahead of the vote.
The Fourteenth Amendment, which spells out the basic qualifications for being eligible to vote in U.S. elections, contains references to both citizens and persons in the United States. This provides adequate justification for determining which persons are citizens. (Justice Roberts doesn't seem to agree. On the other hand, it doesn't matter if the question is on the Census or not because illegals can just lie, as they did about seeking asylum.) What will be important and even crucial is to have a way to determine if a given person is a citizen at voting time.
The purpose of a primary debate used to be an informed discussion of the issues affecting Americans. At the second debate debacle, Democrats felt the need to pledge their allegiance to citizens of other countries, as was on gregarious display last night. Fifteen million viewers were subjected to the most ridiculous of lies and outlandish hysteria concerning illegal aliens — otherwise known by P.C. terminology as immigrants — and their plight.
The madness kicked off with the question of what should be done to the thousands of people converging daily at the southern border.
Democratic socialism Newspeak
replies
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders unveiled his vision of "democratic socialism" during a recent speech at George Washington University. Unfortunately, he did more to confuse the meaning of democratic socialism than to clarify it.
The words capitalism and socialism have meanings, so let's get things clear up front. Capitalism is an economic system based on private ownership of property coordinated through voluntary exchange in markets.
Socialism is an economic system that abolishes private property in the means of production — the land, capital, and labor used to make everything — and replaces it with some form of collective ownership.
E. Jean Carroll's decades-old allegations of rape are being given credibility by some in the media and politics. They will discover that they have been had.
Elizabeth Jean Carroll has accused President Donald Trump of raping her in 1993 or 1995 or maybe 1996 in her recently published book, What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal. When his critics attempt to give credibility to a ludicrous story, they succeed only in making themselves look foolish. Some in the Deep State media and even some Republican senators have invested what is left of their reputations in what is destined to become a comical situation.
A Chick-fil-A worker leaped to action — and right out the window of a drive-thru — to save a choking boy.
Logan Simmons, a 19-year-old manager at the restaurant’s Flowery Branch, Georgia location, was working the window when he observed a vehicle in line not moving up. A man came to the window and asked for a pair of scissors to free a customer’s son, who was being choked by a tight seat belt, the Gainesville Times reported.
Simmons, who had a pocketknife, immediately sprang to action. He jumped out the drive-thru window, ran to the car, and asked the child’s mother if he could cut the seatbelt.
President Trump was gifted a K-pop album upon arriving Saturday at South Korea's presidential palace. Greeted by members of EXO, Trump remarked the boy band was "very famous" before accepting a signed copy of Love Shot on the lawn of the Blue House in Seoul. "Where's Ivanka?" Trump said, describing his daughter as a fan. "Ivanka was just talking about them." South Korean President Moon Jae-in asked Ivanka Trump if she was indeed a fan, before the nine-member band gave her and her father albums.
Megan Rapinoe accepted Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's invitation for the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team to tour the House of Representatives after Rapinoe rejected an invite to the White House."Consider it done @AOC," Rapinoe said Friday after the New York congresswoman extended the invite and the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team beat France 2-1 in the quarterfinal of the Women's World Cup."It may not be the White House, but we’d be happy to welcome @mPinoe & the entire #USWMNT for a tour of the House of Representatives anytime they’d like," Ocasio-Cortez said.
TACOTALPA, Mexico — An engineer shouted for the young migrant woman to hurry up and climb aboard the freight train or she'd be left behind. In her bright red tennis shoes, she quickened her pace and was the last to get on when it pulled out near Salto de Agua in Mexico's southernmost state of Chiapas. Hours later and about 27 miles (43 kilometers) to the west, the train stopped near the Tabasco state town of Tacotalpa and the woman hopped off to buy some cheese-stuffed rolls. When the train crowded with migrants began to move again, she hustled to clamber
I know. I know. Polls mean nothing, and we all know then-candidate Donald Trump was down big-time in almost every one back in 2016 for, well, pretty much the entire cycle until the actual election results proved the polls to be a giant sack of you know what. This time around, however, with the president supposedly polling double digits behind everyone both dead and alive with a D beside their name, it’s hard not to get a little discouraged if you’re all in for four more years of MAGA.There are several reasons for this, of course.
President Donald Trump extended an offer Saturday to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. In a unique round of Twitter diplomacy, the president invited Kim to meet him at the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. Trump revealed that he will travel to South Korea after attending the G20 summit in Japan. “While there, if Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/DMZ just to shake his hand and say Hello(?)!” Trump wrote on Twitter. North Korea responded to Trump’s invitation through its state media.
A rising wave of homelessness is growing and spreading in the major Democrat controlled cities on the Left Coast. Spreading disease, drug addiction, and social disorder in its wake. From Seattle to San Francisco to Los Angeles the quality of life is plummeting. Democrat municipal and state authorities seem oblivious, placing the rights of the homeless above their duty to their citizens, taxpayers, and public safety. More than 60,000 homeless people by official count are living on the streets of Los Angeles. That doesn’t include the surrounding municipalities and cities in Orange County. Actual estimates are much higher, and the homeless seem to be everywhere.

A Democratic candidate for Florida’s House reportedly has ended her campaign after being challenged on her detailed and graphic claims she treated victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting. “I personally removed 77 bullets from 32 people … It was like an assembly line,” candidate Elizabeth McCarthy had claimed at a gun safety event earlier this year. But FloridaPolitics.com published a report earlier this month challenging her claims she worked as a cardiologist at Orlando Regional Medical Center. The report listed the following discrepancies: the Florida Department of Health did not have a record of her being a licensed doctor; the parent company of the

A new study from Georgetown University reveals that if the student bodies of the 200 most selective American colleges were enrolled solely on objective SAT or ACT aptitude test scores, their student bodies would increase from 66 percent white under the current subjective system to 75 percent white.
Ironically, this study was supposed to prove, in the wake of the entertaining and immensely popular Varsity Blues scandal in which TV actresses bribed their lowbrow kids into USC instead of Arizona State, that affluent white people have unfair advantages in college admissions.
Few issues divided Los Angeles more in the 1970s than school desegregation and busing. It sparked protests and political movements — and led to white families pulling their children out of the Los Angeles Unified School District. These issues came back to life at the Democratic presidential debate. In a heated exchange, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris clashed over school integration, with Harris accusing Biden of not taking the morally correct position in favor of the mandatory busing of students. In California, school desegregation was part of broader integration efforts, including the elimination of redlining, which kept blacks and members of
The Art of War, Trump edition
replies
After God, the biggest influence on Donald John Trump's presidency is Sun Tzu, a Chinese general who died more than 2,500 years ago.
He wrote a book, "The Art of War," that Donald Trump read when he was the captain of his class at the New York Military Academy, which was then an all-boys high school.
He applied those principles to business and had a successful career that took him from being a millionaire to being a billionaire to being a billion in the hole to being a billionaire again.
Now he is applying those lessons learned in a half-century of running his family's business to running the Free World.

We value rights because, as the terrible old proverb says, man is a wolf to man. Knowing only too well that other people can harm us, we affirm our inviolable rights, our human dignity, and so forth.

Yet another HUGE story that has been largely ignored by the mainstream media. Thankfully, OAN has been following the ongoing developments that outline how former Obama officials in conjunction with multiple contacts in Congress, have recently been caught working with Iranian officials to defeat the remarkably successful Trump administration’s actions in isolating and possibly hastening the collapse of the #1 sponsor of state terrorism that is the Iranian regime.
Let that sink in. Former Obama officials and current members of Congress are working to support and maintain one of the worst human rights violators in the entire world.
MIAMI – “I’ve been working and fighting against the communists since I was 11 years old,” said Emilio Izquierdo, a 71-year-old Cuban-American exile, as he stood outside the legendary Versailles restaurant in the sweltering heat of Little Havana.

Is Joe Biden in a panic these days? There was a report that his staff are "freaking out" after his shaky, old-man-nattering-on performance in the second debate the other night. But what's got to be even worse is the news that his bundlers are jumping ship. And the one in the news at least didn't even wait for the debate disaster to cut loose. A good rat knows a sinking ship before it goes down.

During the first Democratic debate on Thursday night, front runner Joe Biden proposed banning the sale of any firearm that doesn't include theoretical biometric locks.
"We should have smart guns," Biden said. "No gun should be able to be sold unless your biometric measure could pull that trigger. It's within our right to do that. We can do that. Our enemy is the gun manufacturers, not the NRA."
While prototypes of guns with integrated biometric locks exist, none are currently for sale on the American market. Biden's proposal would effectively outlaw the sale of every firearm on store shelves in

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) expects apprehensions of illegal aliens to decline by 25% along the U.S. southern border in June and directly credited President Donald Trump’s immigration deal with Mexico for the change.

The two and half years of TDS mass psychosis inside the Democratic Party since November 2016 are taking a toll.

If Joe Biden were smart . . . I’ll just pause here till the laughs die down.
Biden had a lane all to himself in the debate Thursday night, but he couldn’t stay in it. He blew it, as we all knew he would, because he’s Joe Biden. The last time there was an open field for the Democratic nomination, he achieved all of 1 percent in Iowa. Holding Barack Obama’s coat for eight years is his most impressive achievement. It’s just about the only thing he brags about, unless you count being friends with racist Democratic senators.

In a desperate effort to squeeze political advantage out of the Special Counsel’s report exonerating Donald Trump and his presidential campaign of conspiring with Russia to affect the outcome of the 2016 election, Congressional Democrats have subpoenaed Robert Mueller to testify before the Oversight and Judiciary committees of the House of Representatives. They apparently believe that Mueller’s testimony will further their impeachment narrative by drawing public attention to those portions of the report interpreted by some partisans as demonstrating that President Trump obstructed the investigation of his non-conspiracy with Russia.
Quite understandably, Congressional Republicans have been slapping their foreheads in joyous disbelief at the Democrats’ decision to expose Mueller to cross-examination
The flu vaccine turned out to be a big disappointment again.
The vaccine didn't work against a flu bug that popped up halfway through the past flu season, dragging down overall effectiveness to 29%, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday. The flu shot was working well early in the season with effectiveness put at 47% in February. But it was virtually worthless during a second wave driven by a tougher strain, at just 9%.
There was "no significant protection" against that strain, said the CDC's Brendan Flannery.
Flu vaccines are made each year to protect against three or four different kinds of flu virus.
In case you missed it earlier: the worst one-term president in United States history had things to say again.

There is now a photograph that sums up everything wrong about America’s broken and overwhelmed immigration system. You’ve seen it, and it is hard to let it leave the mind or the conscience. Together with the accounts of horrifying abuse of children in detention — and “abuse” is not hyperbole — we can see the crisis as it is. We can no longer look away.
The starkness of the crisis is a good thing, though. Until now, many have denied that any crisis existed at all. They have, in fact, denied that the highest levels of mass immigration since the Bush years are an issue at all.
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Friday tried to clarify his views on forced school busing after his tense exchange with Sen. Kamala Harris at Thursday night's Democratic debate in Miami.

"Before I start, I'd like to say something about the debate we had last night, and I, I heard and I listened to and I respect Senator Harris. But you know, we all know that a 30 seconds to 60 seconds on a campaign debate exchange can't do justice to a lifetime committed to civil rights,"
