A California judge has partially ruled against Soros-backed Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón's sweeping criminal justice reform package on Monday, ruling that some of his directives violated California law and would have placed his deputy district attorneys in legal and ethical jeopardy.

POLL: What scares you the most?
Superior Court Judge James Chalfant issued his ruling in response to a lawsuit filed by Gascón's own deputy district attorneys, who alleged in their lawsuit that Gascón's policies — which prohibited them from applying sentencing enhancements that have long been considered mandatory under California law — would have required them to violate California law and their own ethical obligations. Specifically, they argued that policies are unlawful that require them to not seek certain sentencing enhancements that are mandated by California law.

With respect to cases that have already been filed, Judge Chalfant agreed, issuing a preliminary injunction preventing those policies from being implemented. Of specific importance, California law requires district attorneys who are seeking to drop sentencing enhancements to make representations to the court that certain circumstances exist, and the judge found that Gascón's policy would have effectively required these district attorneys to lie in court.


The judge also faulted Gascón's policies for failing to take into account the effect they would have on victims of crime, as required under California law. As Chalfant noted, "There is not a single reference to a concern for victims in the sentencing process" under Gascón's policies.

However, the judge declined to enjoin Gascón from implementing his policies with respect to cases brought in the future, noting that prosecutors generally have wide discretion in performing those duties. The judge was not swayed by the deputy district attorneys' arguments that California state law clearly and plainly states that prosecutors "shall" seek sentencing requirements in certain cases, claiming (in reasoning that would certainly come as a surprise to most speakers of English) that "shall" is not always considered mandatory in legislative statutes and that such language cannot constrain the discretion inherent in prosecutorial functions.

Moreover, the judge ruled, Gascón's policies should not have been a "surprise" since he explicitly ran on implementing them. It is unclear from Chalfant's decision how Gascón's victory in his local election is legally relevant to the interpretation of the plain text of California state law.

Gascón has promised to appeal the judge's decision, but also has promised to abide by the terms of the judge's injunction until that appeal has been decided.

Billionaire left-wing financier George Soros spent over $2 million of his vast fortune propping up Gascón's campaign, during which he explicitly ran on a platform of eliminating sentencing enhancements and cash bail and reducing Los Angeles' prison population.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper compared the sentiments of Trump supporters who stormed the United States Capitol on Jan. 6 to the dehumanizing beliefs that triggered genocides in Africa and Europe.
POLL: What scares you the most?
What did Cooper say?
Speaking on his show Tuesday, Cooper compared rhetoric that inspired Trump supporters to storm the Capitol to rhetoric that, in part, resulted in genocides in Rwanda and Bosnia in the 1990s.
To bolster his case, Cooper cited "otherizing" people, or the perpetuation of an "us versus them" mentality.
"Part of it, I think, just based on what you were just saying, it comes to mind, the idea of otherizing people is something I think we saw a lot of over the last four years. I mean, certainly we've seen a lot over the last decades, but it's so easy to otherize people, to make people other than, other than American, other than patriotic, other than human," Cooper said.

"You know, and we've seen it in Bosnia, we've seen it in Rwanda, where radio was telling people that you know, Hutus, were telling the radio listeners that Tutsi were cockroaches for, you know, getting them ginned up for genocide," he continued.

White House defends order permitting trans athletes to compete in girls' sports: 'Trans rights are human rights'
NEWS
Defended Biden's executive order
SARAH TAYLORFebruary 10, 2021   
White House press secretary Jen Psaki is defending President Joe Biden's executive order demanding schools permit transgender students be able to participate in sports based on their preferred gender identity.
POLL: What scares you the most?
What order is this?
Biden signed the executive order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation on Jan. 21, which stated, "Every person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear, no matter who they are or whom they love. Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or the school sports."
What are the details?
According to Fox News, Psaki defended Biden's order on Tuesday.
After a reporter asked what "Biden's message was to school officials tackling the disputes regarding transgender and cisgender girls competing together," Psaki said that Biden's "belief is that trans rights are human rights."

The reporter added that the order could potentially lead to situations where "trans girls and cis girls" may "end up competing against each other," prompting litigation and more from parents, and added that the administration should clarify to local school officials how to handle such disputes.
"And that's why he signed that executive order," she added. "And in terms of the determinations by universities and colleges, I would certainly defer to them."
The Department of Education has yet to issue any official guidance on enforcing the executive order.
What else?
During Education Secretary nominee Miguel Cardona's confirmation hearing, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said that trans girls participating in women's sports "would completely destroy girls' athletics."
Cardona disagreed.
"I think it's the legal responsibility for schools to provide opportunities for students to participate in activities and this includes students who are transgender," Cardona reasoned.

Another key campaign promise gone? Biden's pledge to hike minimum wage appears to be in jeopardy
NEWS
'I don't think it is going to survive'

President Joe Biden pledged during his campaign that he would raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour if he won the White House, tipping his hat to progressives who believe the current federal minimum wage leaves working-class Americans impoverished.

POLL: What scares you the most?
Biden seemingly made good on that promise with his $1.9 trillion coronavirus-related economic relief plan. Stuffed inside Biden's proposal is the minimum wage hike.

But now it appears the minimum wage hike could be jettisoned altogether as Democrats and Republicans negotiate the third round of COVID-related economic stimulus.

What is going on?
Biden admitted in an interview with CBS News that aired before the Super Bowl that his key campaign promise of hiking the minimum wage likely will not survive legislative negotiations.

"My guess is it will not be in it," he said, Politico reported. "I don't think it is going to survive."

Biden cited Senate rules that require 60 votes to invoke cloture on bills to avoid a filibuster.

NYT report: FBI and Capitol Police were aware of violent threats days before Capitol riots, were warned about 'looming war'

The impeachment trial against former President Donald Trump is slated to begin on Feb. 9. Trump is being charged for "willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States." Many media pundits and Democrats have claimed that Trump's 70-minute speech at the Ellipse outside the White House on Jan. 6 "incited" the storming of the U.S. Capitol building and the subsequent riot. However, a new report from the New York Times finds that the FBI and the Capitol Police were aware of threats targeting the Capitol days before Trump's speech.

POLL: What scares you the most?
The New York Times report stated that there were "thousands of social media posts in the days before the assault, which documented how the rioters saw the Capitol — and the lawmakers certifying the election results — as a specific target."

A social media post on Jan. 5 by an unidentified person read, "Every corrupt member of Congress locked in one room and surrounded by real Americans is an opportunity that will never present itself again."


The New York Times article declared:

The FBI was aware of violent online posts before the rally, with the bureau's field office in Norfolk, Virginia, issuing a report that flagged one anonymous thread that warned of a looming war at the Capitol.
The Washington Post reported on another violent online threat that the FBI was aware of:

An online thread discussed specific calls for violence to include stating 'Be ready to fight. Congress needs to hear glass breaking, doors being kicked in, and blood from their BLM and Pantifa slave soldiers being spilled. Get violent. Stop calling this a march, or rally, or a protest. Go there ready for war. We get our President or we die. NOTHING else will achieve this goal.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation took the threats seriously enough to establish a "24-hour command posts at both the local Washington field office and its headquarters, not far from the Capitol." The FBI also "put tactical teams on standby, which it had not done for the previous two marches by Trump's supporters — on Nov. 14 and Dec. 12 — protesting the election results."

"Before Jan. 6, the FBI and our federal, state and local partners collected and shared available intelligence in preparation for the various planned events," the FBI said in a statement. "As indicated earlier, those leads deterred some from attending the Jan. 6 protest."

During testimony in January, acting Capitol Police chief Yogananda Pittman told Congress:

By January 4th, the Department knew that the January 6th event would likely not be like any of the protests held in 2020. We knew that militia groups and white supremacist organizations would be attending. We also knew that some of these participants were intending to bring firearms and other weapons to the event. We knew that there was a strong potential for violence and that Congress was the target.
The Capitol Police released a 12-page assessment regarding the "March to Save America" rally three days before the Capitol riots. According to the Washington Post, the Capitol Police report "warned of a violent scenario in which 'Congress itself' could be the target of angry supporters of President Trump on Jan. 6, laying out a stark alert that deepens questions about the security failures that day."

The Capitol Police, a federal law enforcement agency with the responsibility of protecting Congress, stated in the Jan. 3 memo:

Supporters of the current president see January 6, 2021, as the last opportunity to overturn the results of the presidential election. This sense of desperation and disappointment may lead to more of an incentive to become violent. Unlike previous post-election protests, the targets of the pro-Trump supporters are not necessarily the counter-protesters as they were previously, but rather Congress itself is the target on the 6th.
The report also cautioned, "This combined with Stop the Steal's propensity to attract white supremacists, militia members, and others who actively promote violence, may lead to significantly dangerous situations for law enforcement and the general public alike."

The Capitol Police communication also reportedly forewarned that "organizers were urging Trump supporters to come armed with guns and to bring specialized combat gear — including gas masks and military-style bulletproof vests called 'plate carriers' — to Washington on Jan. 6."

All of the Capitol Police command staff were informed of the intelligence report by Jack Donohue, intelligence director of the United States Capitol Police.

The Washington Post noted that the Capitol Police's internal report "does not appear to have been shared widely with other law enforcement agencies, including the FBI — was among a number of flags that security experts say should have alerted officials to the high security risks on Jan. 6."

Former Capitol Police chief Steven Sund, who resigned in wake of the violent riot, told the Washington Post on Jan. 15, "We looked at the intelligence. We knew we would have large crowds, the potential for some violent altercations. I had nothing indicating we would have a large mob seize the Capitol."

On Feb. 1, Sund sent an eight-page letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other congressional leaders. The letter gave his insights into what lead up to the Capitol riots.

Perfect hindsight does not change the fact that nothing in our collective experience or our intelligence — including intelligence provided by FBI, Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and D.C. Metropolitan Police (MPD) — indicated that a well-coordinated, armed assault on the Capitol might occur on Jan. 6.
Sund said that before and during the Capitol riots, he requested assistance from the National Guard six times, but his requests for military backup were "rejected or delayed."

The Capitol Police Labor Committee proclaimed that the department's leadership "failed to relay the known threat of violence adequately ahead of the Jan. 6 deadly riot, calling the acting chief's recent admission of prior knowledge of the threat to Congress a 'disclosure that has angered and shocked the rank-and-file officers.'"

Simon & Schuster announced this week that one of its imprints will publish a forthcoming memoir from Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden.

POLL: What scares you the most?
The announcement came just weeks after the publishing house backed out of moving forward with the publication of a book from Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.).

What are the details?
Simon & Schuster announced on Thursday that Gallery Books, an imprint of publishing house, will publish a book from Hunter Biden in April titled, "Beautiful Things."

The book "details Hunter's descent into substance abuse and his tortuous path to sobriety," according to a press release.

The book received advanced praise from novelist Stephen King, who gushed over the book.

In AA we say it doesn't matter if you come from Yale or jail, all addicts are the same. In his harrowing and compulsively readable memoir, Hunter Biden proves again that anybody—even the son of a United States President—can take a ride on the pink horse down nightmare alley. There are plenty of memoirs about the Three Rs (rum, ruin, and redemption), but there are sections in this one that stand out with haunting clarity. Biden remembers it all and tells it all with a bravery that is both heartbreaking and quite gorgeous. He starts with a question: Where's Hunter? The answer is he's in this book, the good, the bad, and the beautiful.
Hunter Biden has been in news headlines routinely since 2019, facing scrutiny for his overseas business dealings in Ukraine and China.

Ilhan Omar's campaign funded nearly 80% of all payments to her husband's consulting firm: Federal filings

A new report found that campaign funds from Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar compromised an overwhelming majority of payments that went to her husband's political consulting firm.

POLL: What scares you the most?
During the 2020 election cycle, nearly 80% of the $3.7 million in total political payments to E Street Group, which is co-owned by Omar's husband Tim Mynett, came from Omar's campaign, according to federal filings.

"Omar's campaign was by far its biggest moneymaker, doling out 146 checks for $2.9 million, or 78 percent of the firm's payments," the Washington Free Beacon reported. "Its second biggest cash source was Omar mentor Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D., Wash.), whose campaign provided $194,000. The two combined for 85 percent of the firm's payments."

Health care worker taken to ER just a few hours after getting second COVID-19 vaccine shot. Four days later he was dead.
'He believed in vaccines. I'm sure he would take that vaccine again, and he'd want the public to take it.'
An X-ray technologist from Orange, California, fell ill and was taken to an emergency room just a few hours after receiving his second dose of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine earlier this month — and four days later he was dead, the Orange County Register reported.

POLL: What scares you the most?
What are the details?
Tim Zook, 60, seemed quite hopeful in a Jan. 5 Facebook post, the Register said.

"Never been so excited to get a shot before," Zook wrote above a photo of a Band-Aid on his arm and his COVID-19 vaccination card, the paper reported. "I am now fully vaccinated after receiving my 2nd Pfizer dose."
It would turn out to be his final Facebook post.
Just a few hours later, Zook — an X-ray technologist at South Coast Global Medical Center in Santa Ana — had an upset stomach and trouble breathing, the Register said. By 3:30 p.m. his condition worsened so much that his co-workers walked him to the emergency room, the paper added.
"Should I be worried?" his wife, Rochelle, texted him when after receiving the news, the Register sid.

"No, absolutely not," Zook texted back, the paper noted.

"Do you think this is a direct result of the vaccine?" she texted, the Register noted.

"No, no," he replied, according to the paper. "I'm not sure what. But don't worry."

The Register said Zook "passionately urged folks to embrace COVID precautions such as masking up and staying home as ICUs were inundated in December."

Rapid decline
But Zook's condition quickly worsened.

More from the Register:

There were suspicions of COVID and a diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Zook was put on oxygen, then — just four hours later — a BiPAP machine to help push air into the lungs. Multiple tests came back negative for COVID.

Shortly after midnight on Jan. 7, the hospital called. Zook was in a medically induced coma and on a ventilator to help him breathe. But his blood pressure soon dropped and he was transferred to UC Irvine Medical Center. "On Friday I get a call, 'His kidneys are failing. He needs to be on dialysis. If not, he could die — but there's also a chance he might have a heart attack or stroke on dialysis because his blood pressure is so low,' " Rochelle Zook said.

By 4 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 9, Zook had gone "code blue" twice and was snatched back from the brink of death. There was a third code blue in the afternoon. "They said if he went code blue a fourth time, he'd have brain damage and be a vegetable if he survives," Rochelle Zook said.
Zook died later that day, the paper said.

'We are not blaming any pharmaceutical company'
"We are not blaming any pharmaceutical company," Rochelle Zook told the Register. "My husband loved what he did. He worked in hospitals for 36 1/2 years. He believed in vaccines. I'm sure he would take that vaccine again, and he'd want the public to take it. But when someone gets symptoms 2 1/2 hours after a vaccine, that's a reaction. What else could have happened? We would like the public to know what happened to Tim, so he didn't die in vain. Severe reactions are rare. In reality, COVID is a much more deadly force than reactions from the potential vaccine itself. The message is, be safe, take the vaccine — but the officials need to do more research. We need to know the cause. The vaccines need to be as safe as possible. Every life matters."

Zook's widow also told the paper he had high blood pressure, but that for years it had been controlled with medication. Zook was slightly overweight but healthy, the Register added.

"He had never been hospitalized," Rochelle Zook told the paper. "He'd get a cold and be over it two days later. The flu, and be over it three days later."

More from the Register:

His death has been reported to the national Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, run by the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control. The Orange County coroner has said the cause of death is inconclusive for now, and further toxicology testing will take months.

"The family just wants closure," said Zook's cousin, Ken Polanco of Los Angeles. " 'Inconclusive' is not closure. The family wants the pharmaceutical companies to do more research — if there's some sort of DNA that doesn't work with this vaccine, if episodes like this can be prevented, they need to do what they can to pin that down." [...]

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System — which officials caution is a "passive surveillance system" and represents unverified reports of health events that occur after vaccination — has gathered more than 130 reports of death after vaccine administration thus far in 2021. A total of 1,330 adverse reactions have been reported, while more than 23.5 million doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have been administered.

Experts caution that drawing a causal line between vaccination and death is often very difficult to do. When millions of people are being vaccinated — more than 13 million have gotten the Pfizer vaccine as of Jan. 26, and more than 10.5 million have received the Moderna vaccine — some would die for any number of unrelated reasons, as a matter of pure statistics.
What did Pfizer have to say?
A Pfizer-BioNTech spokesman told the paper that pharmaceutical company is aware of Zook's death and is thoroughly reviewing the matter.
"Our immediate thoughts are with the bereaved family," the company said in an emailed statement, the Register reported. "We closely monitor all such events and collect relevant information to share with global regulatory authorities. Based on ongoing safety reviews performed by Pfizer, BioNTech and health authorities, [the vaccine] retains a positive benefit-risk profile for the prevention of COVID-19 infections. Serious adverse events, including deaths that are unrelated to the vaccine, are unfortunately likely to occur at a similar rate as they would in the general population."
The Orange County coroner said it has an open death investigation for Zook and will be conducting more tests as part of its autopsy protocol, spokeswoman Carrie Braun told the paper, adding that the coroner's office will use its findings to issue a final determination concerning the cause and manner of death.
"If it's determined there may be a correlation to the vaccine, we will immediately notify the OC Health Care Agency," Braun added to the Register.

Tucker Carlson reveals email sent to ICE officers after Biden's deportation order: 'Release them all, immediately'
'As of midnight tonight, stop all removals'
Fox News host Tucker Carlson revealed Friday that his team exclusively obtained an email showing how Immigration and Customs Enforcement was directed to carry out one of President Joe Biden's executive orders on immigration.

POLL: What issue concerns you most with the Biden/Harris administration?
What's the background?
After entering office on Wednesday, Biden signed numerous executive orders, many of which reversed the policies of his predecessor, now-former President Donald Trump.

One of the executive orders enacted "a 100-day pause on deportations for some undocumented immigrants," according to the Texas Tribune.

More from the Texas Tribune:

The pause in deportations, which begins Friday, is part of a review and reset of enforcement policies within Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agencies as the Biden administration "develops its final priorities," according to a DHS statement.

The moratorium applies to "certain noncitizens ordered deported to ensure we have a fair and effective immigration enforcement system focused on protecting national security, border security, and public safety" according to the DHS. That category excludes any immigrant who is "suspected of terrorism or espionage, or otherwise poses a danger to the national security of the United States," those who entered after Nov. 1 and those who have voluntarily waived any rights to remain in the country, according to a DHS memo.
What did the email say?
Carlson said that his team obtained an internal email sent to ICE officers in Texas.

The email read, "As of midnight tonight, stop all removals. This includes Mexican bus runs, charter flights and commercial removals (until further notice) ... all cases are to be considered [no significant likelihood of removal in foreseeable future]."

"Release them all, immediately. No sponsor available is not acceptable any longer," the message added.


According to Carlson, the directive is the "result of the complete chaos" that resulted from Biden's sweeping executive order.

The official who sent the email noted that he was just "the messenger" explaining the directive. In other words, It wasn't his idea. It was Joe Biden's. Now, this email was news to us. The memorandum from the Biden administration to halt deportations did not call for people here illegally to be released from detention. So we made some calls, and we learned that the Department of Homeland Security is currently hammering out how to enact the memorandum. It does not specifically call for the instant release of all migrants in detention.

So what was this memo about? Just the result of the complete chaos that resulted when the incoming administration changed a policy this big on its first day without explaining what it means.

As TheBlaze reported, Biden is expected to introduce comprehensive immigration reform within the beginning months of his administration in a massive package that will include a "pathway to citizenship" for illegal immigrants.

Biden is also expected to reverse or roll back most of Trump's immigration policies.

Biden admin faced day one controversy over change to US ambassador to Israel Twitter account

A not-so-subtle change led to outcry and quiet backtracking.

The Biden administration on Wednesday stirred controversy on day one by temporarily changing the Twitter account for the U.S. Ambassador to Israel before reversing the change after a report from the Washington Free Beacon called attention to it.
POLL: What issue concerns you most with the Biden/Harris administration?
The Twitter account, which was most recently operated by former Ambassador David Friedman, was changed to read, "U.S. Ambassador to Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza," after Friedman vacated his office. The modified account drew heavy criticism from Republican lawmakers and others who thought that the change suggested the United States would not recognize Israeli control over the West Bank and Gaza amid the ongoing dispute between Israel and the Palestinians.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) was among the first lawmakers to speak out about the change, accusing Democrats of "hostility to Israel."

"The Biden Admin title change for the @USAmbIsrael shows the Democrats' hostility to Israel," Scott tweeted. "There is no country of West Bank or Gaza, only territories that Israel has been willing for decades to negotiate sovereignty over but has been met with only hostility and terrorism."

Rep. Michael McCaul (Texas), the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the change was "provocative."

"It's incredibly troubling the administration made this controversial move on Day One, [without] consulting [with] Congress. It also seems to fly in the face of comments made by Antony Blinken yesterday. I strongly urge the president to clarify this provocative move quickly," McCaul said.

Blinken, President Joe Biden's nominee for secretary of state, said during his confirmation hearing that the Biden administration would keep President Trump's policy of recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and that there were no plans to move the U.S. Embassy from the holy city.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy in Israel told the Jerusalem Post that the change, which was quietly reversed, "was an inadvertent edit."

"This is not a policy change or indication of future policy change," she said.

The Trump administration's Middle East policy placed a strong emphasis on strengthening ties with Israel. In 2017, Trump became the first U.S. president to keep his campaign promise of moving the embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing the city as Israel's capital, a move that infuriated Palestinians who have long claimed the city as their own.

In 2019, Trump recognized Israeli sovereignty over Golan Heights, overturning 52 years of U.S. foreign policy on the issue.

Going forward, Blinken's confirmation testimony suggested the Biden administration will not take immediate action to reverse Trump's policies, but did signal there will be some attempt to return to pre-Trump diplomatic normalcy.

"The only way to ensure Israel's future as a Jewish, democratic state and to give the Palestinians a state to which they are entitled is through the so-called two-state solution," Blinken said.
"Realistically it's hard to see near-term prospects for moving forward on that."

Donald Trump looking to form his own political party — the 'Patriot Party': Report
Interesting turn of events

 SARAH TAYLOR
Donald Trump has reportedly spoken to confidants and aides over the last several days about possibly forming his own political party, according to a Tuesday night report from the Wall Street Journal.

POLL: Should the Right embrace Conservatism or Populism to win future elections?
The outlet reports that the move comes on the heels of Trump feeling that Republicans abandoned him following the early January attack on the U.S. Capitol as well as the GOP members who voted in favor of a historic second impeachment.

What are the details?
The outlet, citing inside sources reportedly familiar with the matter, said that the president would like to call the party the "Patriot Party."

"Trump discussed the matter with several aides and other people close to him last week," the outlet reported. "The president said he would want to call the new party the 'Patriot Party,' the people said."

The Daily Wire reported that "top pro-Trump Republicans" close to the administration said that it was a "bad idea" and would effectively split the Republican Party so that it would be nearly impossible for Republicans or otherwise to defeat the Democratic Party in elections.


In a Tuesday farewell video, Trump said that his movement is "only just beginning."

"As I prepare to hand power over to a new administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning," he said. "There's never been anything like it. The belief that a nation must serve its citizens will not dwindle but instead only grow stronger by the day. As long as the American people hold in their hearts deep and devoted love of country, then there is nothing this nation cannot achieve."

In his final speech as president, Trump at Joint Base Andrews said, "We will be back in some form."

Parler CEO claims he has received death threats amid platform shutdown, rips Big Tech for kowtowing to Democrats
He said there was 'no prior warning'

 SARAH TAYLOR
Parler CEO John Matze said this week that he has been facing death threats in the days following his platform shutdown.

POLL: Can Americans still have meaningful conversations about politics on Twitter?
He also said that the de-platforming is nothing short of unconstitutional, and that technology companies like Amazon, Apple, and Google are kowtowing to Democrat demands.

What's a brief history here?
Between Friday and Saturday, Google and Apple removed Parler from its app stores.

A day later, Amazon Web Services suspended the social media network's web hosting abilities, citing the company's reported refusal to remove inciting content shared by its users, which it said ultimately resulted in contributing to last week's deadly riots at the U.S. Capitol.

Parler filed a lawsuit on Monday that accused Amazon Web Services of breaching its contract and the violation of an antitrust law over the move.

Amazon Web Services said in response that it warned the site about user posts repeatedly, but to no avail.

"People have acted on these calls: Parler was used to incite, organize, and coordinate the January 6 attack on the US Capitol," Amazon Web Services said Tuesday in its court filing on the suit.


What are the details?
According to a Tuesday report from Newsweek, Matze revealed that he heard through news headlines that Apple, Google, and Amazon all had a hand in shuttering his web application, prohibiting users from downloading, logging on, or even viewing the social media site.

Matze told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday that he is now receiving death threats.

"People are threatening my life," he said. "I can't go home tonight. This is really a lot. This is not just our civil liberties. [Big Tech] can shut down a billion-dollar company, half-a-billion dollar company, overnight."

He did not specify the threats he purportedly received.

According to the outlet, Matze also said that he never thought the tech giants would actually shut down such a site.

"I've theorized about it, we've definitely theorized about it," he said. "You just never think it will happen though. What's really interesting is that they all did it on the same day, those three, without any prior warning."

He added that there is varying reactions to the site's shutdown, but there are many people who are "egging it on and cheering."

"I have seen a lot of people say this is scary, but I've seen a lot of people who are participating in the five minutes of hate and egging it on and cheering," Matze said. "It is disgusting."

A spokesperson for Google told the outlet that the app will remain absent from the Google Play store until the application addresses the speech issues.

"We're aware of continued posting in the Parler app that seeks to incite ongoing violence in the U.S.," the statement began. "We recognize that there can be reasonable debate about content policies, and that it can be difficult for apps to immediately remove all violative content, but for us to distribute an app through Google Play we do require that apps implement robust moderation for egregious content."

The statement continued, "In light of this ongoing and urgent public safety threat, we are suspending the app's listings from the Play Store until it addresses these issues."


Anything else?
Matze said that he believes the site will be operational again "one day."

"We will be back up eventually because we're not going to give up," he insisted. "But soon is difficult. I thought immediately, 'No problem, I'll call up a new vendor.' We call up the vendor, we're all good to go, and then right at the last second, 'Sorry, somebody said something and we can't host you. 'Bye.' And it's been that one after another since then. Right at the last minute they just bail. We're going to do it. We're going to be back online one day, and hopefully soon, as soon as possible. But this is a real challenge. We have to build our own infrastructure, our own everything, in order to do it."

In an interview published Tuesday, Matze said that the suspension is nothing short of unconstitutional.

"I think it's sick," he said. "That's not what the Constitution said. That's not what the Constitution stands for, banning 10-plus million US voters from the internet, barring people from free speech."

He also said that tech companies are simply placating Democrats who are looking for a finger to point after the Capitol riots.

Fox News reported, "[Rep. Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), recently urged Apple and Google to take action against Parler, in a tweet the leader of the so-called 'Squad' of progressives sent to her 11.4 million followers. Ocasio-Cortez isn't alone. Many people on the left have made similar complaints."

Of the complaints, Matze said, "Frankly, I would call it evil, because my definition of evil is 'forcing your will upon others.' If you don't like what I have to say, you can disagree with me, but you cannot take vindictive action against me without being evil."

Report: Parler finds potential web hosting refuge after Amazon shuts down its servers
'[W]hen it comes to Parler, it is clear that there is an artificial standard that many now want to apply'

 CHRIS ENLOE
Parler, the social media alternative to Twitter, has reportedly found web hosting refuge after the platform was booted from Amazon's web hosting services.

POLL: Will the Democrats be successful with their second attempt to impeach President Trump?
What's the background?
After the deadly riots at the U.S. Capitol last Wednesday, Parler became a central target of Big Tech over allegations that it was hosting content that helped incite the violence.

Parler was eventually kicked from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, meaning the app is unavailable for download on the two most widely used smartphone operating systems. Amazon Web Services then suspended web hosting service Sunday. All three companies claimed Parler did not sufficiently moderate content posted to its platform.

Parler CEO John Matze denounced the decisions as a "coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill competition in the market place."

'We are the closest thing to competition Facebook or Twitter has seen in many years. I believe Amazon, Google, Apple worked together to try and ensure they don't have competition," he said on Parler late Saturday.

What's happening now?
Although Parler is not yet back online, the company registered its domain and server with internet solutions company Epik, which Vice described as the "the internet savior of the far-right" because it also hosts Gab, another alternative to social media platforms operated by Big Tech.

After news broke that Parler had registered with Epik, the company released a statement saying that it has "had no contact or discussions with Parler in any form regarding our organization becoming their registrar or hosting provider."

"From our understanding, Parler was working on satisfying the requested terms placed upon them by various elements of their supply chain, and to date, no communication has been received by them for discussion of future service provision," Robert Davis, senior vice president of communications at Epik, said in a lengthy statement.

Reading between the lines, it appears that Parler purchased services from Epik — which WHOIS data confirms — like any marketplace customer can do, not that either company entered into an agreement to host Parler's platform.

Epik's statement defended Parler, echoing Matze's assertion that Parler has been unfairly targeted.

[W]hen it comes to Parler, it is clear that there is an artificial standard that many now want to apply. The staggering size of Twitter and Facebook alone, have made real change or accountability almost impossible, as the political interests and objectives of their own executives end up creating an undeniable double standard for both policing and enforcement. Over the last year, the effects of this were felt by millions of people, already kept in fear, as our nation was met by unprecedented waves of violence on life and property.
Anything else?
While it's not yet clear when Parler will be operational again, the company announced Monday that it is suing Amazon for antitrust violations, breach of contract, and unlawful business interference.

The company is also asking that a judge require Amazon to reinstate Parler's service as the litigation makes its way through the court system.

President Trump breaks silence, says new impeachment probe is a 'witch hunt' and refuses to resign: Dems courting 'tremendous danger'

The president also defended the speech he made immediately preceding the riots, saying that many people believed his remarks were "totally appropriate."

What are the details?
Trump made the remarks — his first since Wednesday's riots — while boarding Marine One as he prepared to go on a trip to Alamo, Texas, in order to inspect the U.S.'s southern border wall.

"If you read my speech — and many people have done it, and I've seen it both in the papers and in the media, on television — it has been analyzed, and people thought that what I said was totally appropriate," he insisted. "They've analyzed my speech and my words and my final paragraph, my final sentence, and everybody to a T thought it was totally appropriate."

Fiery Greg Gutfeld destroys media 'hypocrites who pick and choose their favorite protesters': 'This is a red-pilled America'
'That pisses me off!'

 PAUL SACCA
Following the riot at the Capitol building on Wednesday, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld scorched "hypocrites in hair and makeup who pick and choose their favorite protesters." The conservative commentator blasted members of the liberal media and Democrats who are "finally outraged by this disgusting behavior" of destructive rioting after staying silent about the incessant lawlessness by Black Lives Matter and Antifa across the country that has occurred regularly since late May.

POLL: Do you want to go back to 2020?
"The Five" host delivered a passionate 4-minute tirade this week about the importance of condemning all political violence.

"Vandalism and looting, whether it's in D.C. or Portland, SoHo, Kinosha, Minneapolis, Seattle – it's all bad no matter who's doing it," Gutfeld stated. "So we must remain consistent. That's what makes us different from the rest. We don't play favorites with mobs. The other side does, but we don't."

"It's hard for me personally because I was outraged over violence every single day this summer. I saw my neighborhood trashed," Gutfeld admitted. The TV host then proclaimed that he must "condemn" the unrest at the Capitol "equally because we aren't them. We are better than them."

"To this point, I heard a pundit say that 'even Republicans are outraged by this behavior.' Duh! Republicans are always outraged by bad behavior because they consistently, consistently embrace law and order and condemn the destruction of private and public property," Gutfeld poignantly explained.

"I do believe the Capitol is a sacred place," he declared. "I also believe that the guy who invested his life savings in a small business, to him, that was a sacred place, too. So it's consistency."

"By pointing out Republicans, or non-liberals like me, who are equally outraged by this behavior, what you're doing is you're pointing out also the inconsistency, right? The lack of Democrats who weren't doing this when our cities were in flame. That pisses me off," he vehemently exclaimed.

Gutfeld slammed the transgressors who stormed the Capitol by saying that the "non-left" of Republicans, Libertarians, and conservates are "supposed to be the gate against the barbarians," but on Wednesday in D.C., "We looked like the barbarians."

"But you will not see Republicans bailing out those who were arrested. See, that is a vital contrast and Americans know this," he continued.

Gutfeld was referring to the situation from the summer when Kamala Harris, Hollywood celebrities, and reportedly 13 Biden campaign staffers raised funds to bail out demonstrators and rioters who were involved in George Floyd protests in Minnesota that escalated into chaos and destruction.

"Americans do not need lectures from hypocrites in hair and makeup who pick and choose their favorite protesters," Gutfeld blistered liberal media pundits. "So I'm glad Democrats are finally outraged by this disgusting behavior. Join the club! I've been there for a year! I do not play favorites with mobs."

Gutfeld pointed out the 74 million people who voted for President Donald Trump need to have their voices heard. He highlighted the double-standard that Trump supporters face compared to BLM and Antifa rioters who seem to get a pass from the mainstream media.

Gutfeld then challenged President-elect Joe Biden to unite the country.

"If you want to unify this country, Joe Biden, you can't sit there and act like the tough guy now," Gutfeld emphatically stressed. "You've got to deal with a half a country that feels that they have been disenfranchised, that they've been disrespected, that they have been lied to by a media, they've been marginalized by a media, they've been made to feel small by a media. Their eyes are open."

"This is a red-pilled America," he trumpeted.

"Yesterday was a bubble that burst, but it's a sign of a much, much, much larger problem, and it's going to come back in four years," Gutfeld warned. "It's going to come back if you don't deal with it, whether it is transparency in elections, voter I.D. – just being honest might be a start."

"And stop calling these people rubes and denigrating them because they aren't cool elites, because that's part of this, too," Gutfeld concluded his fiery monologue.

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said that he was "more determined than ever" to strip tech and social media companies of legal protections under Section 230 after the president was banned permanently from his Twitter account.

POLL: Do you want to go back to 2020?
Twitter announced on Friday that they had banned President Donald Trump from his account over concerns that his tweets were inciting violence. Supporters of the president accused the popular social media platform of political bias.

Graham took to his Twitter account to decry the action and call for Section 230 to be rescinded. The law protects some tech companies from legal repercussions over speech posted to their platforms by third parties.

"Twitter may ban me for this but I willingly accept that fate: Your decision to permanently ban President Trump is a serious mistake. The Ayatollah can tweet, but Trump can't. Says a lot about the people who run Twitter," tweeted Graham.

"I'm more determined than ever to strip Section 230 protections from Big Tech (Twitter) that let them be immune from lawsuits." continued Graham in a second tweet.

"Big Tech are the only companies in America that virtually have absolute immunity from being sued for their actions, and it's only because Congress gave them that protection," he added.

"It is now time for Congress to repeal Section 230 and put Big Tech on the same legal footing as every other company in America. Legal accountability," Graham concluded.

The president on Friday attempted to post a statement to Twitter using other government accounts, but the social media company took quick action to delete the messages and restrict the accounts.

Despite Twitter deleting the tweets, supporters of the president circulated his statement widely on the platform.

"Twitter has gone further and further in banning free speech, and tonight, Twitter employees have coordinated with the Democrats and the Radical Left in removing my account from their platform, to silence me," said the president, in part.

""Twitter may be a private company, but without the government's gift of Section 230 they would not exist for long.I predicted this would happen. We have been negotiating with various other sites, and will have a big announcement soon, while we also look at the possibilities of building out our own platform in their future," the president added.

"We will not be SILENCED!" he said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) also said on Friday that if the president didn't resign that Democrats in the House would move to impeach him for inciting an insurrection on Monday.

Both chambers of Congress went into recess and the U.S. Capitol was reportedly placed on lockdown Wednesday afternoon as Trump supporters reportedly breached security and entered the Capitol Building.

BlazeTV reporter Elijah Schaffer posted video showing a small group of individuals fighting with police inside the building. At one point, some were right outside the Senate chamber as lawmakers convened inside.

Hundreds of Trump supporters breached security barricades and stormed up to the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., as both chambers of Congress convened to affirm the Electoral College votes cast in the 2020 election Wednesday afternoon.

Thousands had traveled from out of state to gather in Washington in protest of the election, which President Trump and his allies have maintained was fraudulent.

Things appeared to carry on peacefully earlier in the day, but as the joint session of Congress kicked off in the early afternoon, a large group of individuals appeared to storm through outer barricades surrounding the Capitol building, where lawmakers deliberated inside.

Video posted to Twitter by Washington Post reporter Rebecca Tan showed Trump supporters approaching the rear of the building.

Then, BlazeTV reporter Elijah Schaeffer posted video as the group reached the outside of the building and were confronted by police.

"Trump supporters have breached the Capitol building, tearing down 4 layers of security fencing and are attempting to occupy the building — fighting federal police who are overrun," he tweeted. "This is the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life. Thousands, police can't stop them."

It is unclear at this point whether the storming of the Capitol was a coordinated or impromptu event. Interestingly, a paper notice found in the National Mall indicated that "a national militia" was being organized to "defend the Constitution and the Republic." However, there is no evidence connecting the movement from the crowd with the notice.

UPDATE (Jan. 6, 4:31 p.m.):

In a video posted to Twitter late Wednesday afternoon, President Trump told supporters protesting the election at the U.S. Capitol to "go home in peace."
"I know your pain, I know you're hurt," the president said to his supporters, who believe the 2020 election was fraudulent. "But you have to go home now. We have to have peace."

UPDATE (Jan. 6, 3:50 p.m.):

Supporters of President Trump continued to make their way through the halls of the U.S. Capitol after breaching security Wednesday afternoon. One broke into Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office and kicked up his boots on her desk.

An explosive device was found at the headquarters of the Republican National Committee as the U.S. Capitol was under attack by rioters angry at Congress attempting to affirm the results of the presidential election.

POLL: Did the results of the Georgia election surprise you?
An RNC official told the New York Times that the explosive device was identified as a pipe bomb, and it was successfully destroyed by the bomb squad.

Other suspicious packages were reported as the protests unfolded in the nation's capital. One was discovered at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee, and was being investigated. Another was reportedly found on the U.S. Capitol grounds.

The DNC was evacuated as a precaution while law enforcement officials tried to identify whether the suspicious package was also an explosive device.

The alarming developments follow upon scenes of chaos from Washington, D.C., where some supporters of the president have taken offices and chambers of the Congress by force. One woman was also shot in the neck during the melee and carried out on a stretcher.


The president tweeted a video asking his supporters to stop rioting, but he reiterated that he believed the election was stolen from him. Vice President Mike Pence also tweeted a demand that the violence stop.

Top CEOs threaten to cut off funding for Republicans backing Trump’s election challenge: report
Here comes the pressure

 PHIL SHIVER
Several CEOs of major corporations are threatening to pull financial support from congressional Republicans backing President Donald Trump's election challenge, according to Yale School of Management's Jeffrey Sonnenfeld.

POLL: Did the results of the Georgia election surprise you?
What are the details?
Sonnenfeld, a senior associate dean at the prominent business school, told CNBC's "Closing Bell" on Tuesday that more than two dozen chief executives were considering the move as a way to express their frustration with Trump and his Republican allies' attempts to overturn the election.
The business leaders reportedly made the comments during a virtual conference hosted by Sonnenfeld earlier that day, in which 33 unnamed executives from a variety of sectors including finance, pharmacy, transportation, and manufacturing were present.
According to Sonnenfeld, every executive on the call answered "yes" to the survey question, "Should CEOs warn lobbyists privately that their firms will no longer support election result deniers in Congress?" Additionally, nearly nine in 10 said they were in favor of cutting off support.
"The GOP acting this way — these GOP members are certainly not the voice of American business, large or small. So they're talking about cutting off support," Sonnenfeld said.
He added the executives on the call, who reportedly joined on the condition of confidentiality, said the situation was causing "divided communities, angry workforces, and hostile workplaces" and that "this is not business as usual."
They reportedly expressed a desire to move beyond statements and start to "put our money where our mouth is."

What's the background?
President Trump has maintained for the better part of two months that the 2020 election was fraudulent, and his legal team has filed numerous legal challenges to the results in battleground states such as Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona, but thus far to no avail.

But, in recent days, a new long-shot strategy has emerged as several Republican House and Senate members announced their intention to object when Congress moves to officially count Electoral College votes on Jan. 6 and demand a commission to audit the results. The challenge, however, is all but certain to fail.
Sonnenfeld said the potential of a chaotic transition is what gave rise to the last-minute the conference Tuesday. Given that fact, it might be fair to assume that the participating CEOs were not ones particularly supportive of Trump in the first place. But due to the call's confidentiality, only Sonnenfeld knows their identities.

Ocasio-Cortez, other Democrats reveal what agenda they will push with control of White House, Congress
As the dust settles from Georgia's monumental Senate runoff elections, Democrats are making very clear what agenda they will pursue now that they will likely control the White House and both chambers of Congress. As of Wednesday morning, Raphael Warnock (D) (D) is the projected winner over Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R), and it appears that Jon Ossoff (D) will defeat Sen. David Purdue (R). If these results stand, the Senate will be split 50-50, giving Democrats control of the upper chamber because Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will serve as a tie-breaking vote.

What do Democrats plan to do?
Taking control of Congress and the White House is a significant feat, and it allows one party to advance its agenda without much resistance.

Now, Democrats will have the opportunity to advance their policies, many of which have been blocked by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R) for the last six years.
Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) revealed Tuesday exactly what Democrats can do with their newfound power by passing legislation blocked by McConnell.
Stimulus Checks: House Democrats passed a bill that would provide Americans with $2,000 stimulus checks after President Donald Trump asked for stimulus checks greater than $600. The Republican-controlled Senate, however, squashed the effort.
The Equality Act: "The Equality Act would would provide consistent and explicit anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people across key areas of life, including employment, housing, credit, education, public spaces and services, federally funded programs, and jury service."
The DREAM Act: A bill introduced to Congress nearly a dozen times over the last two decades, often with bipartisan sponsors, it would "pathway to legal status for undocumented youth who came to this country as children," according to American Immigration Council.
Voting Rights Act: Democrats have attempted to legislatively restore a part of the Voting Rights Act that was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2013. With McConnell in charge of the Senate, Democrats have been unsuccessful in their endeavors.
Pappas said Democrats can also make headway on "infrastructure," giving states and local governments more funding, likely referring to coronavirus-related aid, and "climate action." It was not clear whether Pappas was referring to the far-left Green New Deal.

US official: 'Growing body of evidence' coronavirus came from Wuhan lab
Either by 'leak or accident'

 PHIL SHIVER
A top United States official said recently that the "most credible" theory for how the coronavirus pandemic started is that the pathogen escaped from a Chinese laboratory.
POLL: Do you think the election is over?
What are the details?
U.S. deputy national security adviser Matthew Pottinger told British parliamentarians last week that even Chinese leaders have started to acknowledge that the virus did not originate in the Wuhan wet market as initially reported. Instead, he said, it likely escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology located just 11 miles away.

"There is a growing body of evidence that the lab is likely the most credible source of the virus," Pottinger said during a Zoom conference about China, according to the Daily Mail. "Even establishment figures in Beijing have openly dismissed the wet market story."

Whether the virus escaped by "leak or accident," he could not confirm.

The theory has been widely disseminated since earlier this year, when citizen investigators used publicly available information to make the case.


Reporters noticed all-too-coincidental job openings posted by the lab in November and December 2019 — right as mysterious pneumonia-like cases were popping up in Wuhan — which requested scientists to come "research the relationship between the coronavirus and bats" and indicated that help was needed to handle a dangerous leak.

That is not to mention the fact that the lab was the first in all of China to achieve BSL-4 clearance, or the level of bioresearch safety required to study the world's most dangerous pathogens. Though some thought that clearance was granted prematurely.

Shortly after the discovery of the job postings, a pair of leaked State Department cables from 2018 found that U.S. officials visiting the lab were so concerned about its "serious shortage of appropriately trained technicians and investigators" in concert with its study of "SARS-like coronaviruses in bats" that they felt the need to notify the U.S. government.

What else?
According to the Daily Mail, Pottinger's confidence in the theory comes as a result of conversations the U.S. has had with a whistleblower from the Wuhan lab.

"I was told the US have an ex-scientist from the laboratory in America at the moment," said former Tory Party leader Iain Duncan Smith, who attended the meeting. "That was what I heard a few weeks ago."

"I was led to believe this is how they have been able to stiffen up their position on how this outbreak originated," he added.

Pottinger's comments come as a team of experts from the World Health Organization prepare to travel to Wuhan to investigate the pandemic's origins, though some critics fear the investigation won't reveal anything given the organization's coziness with China.

Study finds UV LED lights kill 99.9% of coronavirus in 30 seconds
This would be amazing

 PAUL SACCA
Researchers from Tel Aviv University claim that they have found a way to significantly eliminate COVID-19. The new study found that UV-LED lights effectively, quickly, and inexpensively kill coronavirus.
The promising study was published in the November 2020 issue of the peer-reviewed Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology. The study attempted to find the disinfection efficiency of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes irradiation at different wavelengths or frequencies on coronavirus. It is said to be the first of its kind in the world, according to the Jerusalem Post.

The research team said that the UV-LED lights required less than half a minute to destroy more than 99.9% of the coronaviruses.

The researchers set out to discover the optimal wavelength for killing coronavirus, and found that a length of 285 nanometers was almost as efficient in disinfecting the virus as a wavelength of 265 nm. The cost of 285 nm LED bulbs are 30% lower than that of 265 nm bulbs, plus they are reportedly more readily available.


From the scientific TAU study, which was a collaboration with Professor Yoram Gerchman of Oranim College; Dr. Michal Mandelboim, Director of the National Center for Influenza and Respiratory Viruses at Sheba Medical Center at Tel HaShomer; and Nehemya Friedman from Tel Hashomer:

UV light-emitting diodes (UV LEDs) are an emerging technology and a UV source for pathogen inactivation, however low UV-LED wavelengths are costly and have low fluence rate. Our results suggest that the sensitivity of human Coronavirus (HCoV-OC43 used as SARS-CoV-2 surrogate) was wavelength dependent with 267 nm ~ 279 nm > 286 nm > 297 nm. Other viruses showed similar results, suggesting UV LED with peak emission at ~286 nm could serve as an effective tool in the fight against human Coronaviruses.
"We discovered that it is quite simple to kill the coronavirus using LED bulbs that radiate ultraviolet light," professor Hadas Mamane, head of the Environmental Engineering Program at Tel Aviv University's School of Mechanical Engineering, said. "We killed the viruses using cheaper and more readily available LED bulbs, which consume little energy and do not contain mercury like regular bulbs."

"The entire world is currently looking for effective solutions to disinfect the coronavirus," Mamane said. "Our research has commercial and societal implications, given the possibility of using such LED bulbs in all areas of our lives, safely and quickly."

"We know, for example, that medical staff do not have time to manually disinfect, say, computer keyboards and other surfaces in hospitals – and the result is infection and quarantine," Mamane explained. "The problem is that in order to disinfect a bus, train, sports hall, or plane by chemical spraying, you need physical manpower, and in order for the spraying to be effective, you have to give the chemical time to act on the surface."

"Disinfection systems based on LED bulbs, however, can be installed in the ventilation system and air conditioner, for example, and sterilize the air sucked in and then emitted into the room," Mamane stated.

Ultraviolet radiation has been used as a common method of killing bacteria and viruses for years. This year, technology has utilized robots equipped with UV-LED lights.

The Carolina Panthers use two Xenex LightStrike robots that cost $125,000 each to sanitize locker rooms, showers, and other areas of the NFL team's Bank of America Stadium in downtown Charlotte.

The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office is utilizing a robot that kills viruses with ultraviolet light, and is capable of disinfecting 1,000 square feet in less than 10 minutes.

In March, a group of 13 researchers wrote an editorial in the journal Science Robotics:

Instead of manual disinfection, which requires workforce mobilization and increases exposure risk to cleaning personnel, autonomous or remote-controlled disinfection robots could lead to cost-effective, fast, and effective disinfection. New generations of robots, from macro- to microscale, could be developed to navigate high-risk areas and continually work to sterilize all high-touch surfaces.
In April, science and technology advisor to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security secretary, William Bryan, said government scientists had found ultraviolet light showed promise in killing SARS-CoV-2.

"Our most striking observation to date is the powerful effect that solar light appears to have on killing the virus, both surfaces and in the air," Bryan told reporters at the White House. "We've seen a similar effect with both temperature and humidity as well, where increasing the temperature and humidity or both is generally less favorable to the virus."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnVdLx6tYM4&feature=emb_logo
One of Trump's most important speeches! The way he defends America and does what's best for his country is commendable.
Will President Trump be able to actually turn around the polls and lead the Republican Party to victory? Steve Deace thinks that President Trump may still be on his way to victory and it may not be too late to reverse his political fortunes. If President Trump will pull it off it will be a major uphill battle.
With big swaths of the United States still closed down due to coronavirus epidemic, it is hard to imagine that things will radically change from now until November. The coronavirus is alive and well, and the federal government is not the only power that can actually impact on how the United States deals with it. The United States has laws that allow every individual State to decide for itself how to implement or not implement law and justice. With so many States allowing the Black Lives Matter movement to scare Governors and Mayors from being branded as racists, the United States is literally stuck in a half-shutdown mode.
The anti-Trump governors know well that if they open up everything in their States, than the medical risk will go up and the Trump reelection campaign would gain steam. But odds are that schools will open up in September, and the coronavirus will have a resurgence in many cities and States. The Trump campaign can yell and scream about how horrible the governors and mayors are. But the truth is that the coronavirus is a beast that will probably be with us until the winter or spring. If President Trump is able to pull off a victory, it will be one of the most amazing turnarounds in US Presidential history.

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) says that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) need to vacate their positions in the government and let the younger generation of burgeoning lawmakers take over.

POLL: Are you hopeful for 2021?
She also said that the Democratic presidential legacy of stacking administrations with previous Democratic appointees and big business heads needs to stop.

What are the details?
In a recently published interview with the Intercept's Jeremy Scahill, the young congresswoman said that the Democratic Party needs a serious leadership overhaul.

There's just one problem, she says: Democrats have no idea how to move forward.

"If you create that vacuum, there are so many nefarious forces at play to fill that vacuum with something even worse," she warned.

"A lot of this is not just about these two personalities [Pelosi and Schumer], but also about the structural shifts that these two personalities have led in their time in leadership," she explained. "The structural shifts of power in the House, both in process and rule, to concentrate power in party leadership of both parties, frankly, but in Democratic Party leadership to such a degree that an individual member has far less power than they did 30, 40, 50 years ago."


She also said that Pelosi and other House members need to prepare for what comes after Pelosi retires.

"The left isn't really making a plan for that," she said. "So I do think that it's something that we really need to think about."

As for the newly minted congresswoman, the speaker position is not something she is ready to tackle — yet.

"The House is extraordinarily complex and I'm not ready," she admitted. "It can't be me. I know that I couldn't do that job."

What else?
Ocasio-Cortez also took a swipe at the incoming Biden administration and said that the president-elect is stacking the vacancies with former Obama appointees and big business players, calling it "horrible."

"I think it's ... part of a larger issue that we have right now, which is ... the Biden administration is bringing back a lot of Obama appointees, which, depending on where you are in the party, may sound nice, I guess," she explained. "But I think what a lot of people fail to remember is that we now have a Biden administration that's bringing back a lot of Obama appointees, but when Obama was making appointments, he was bringing back a lot of Clinton appointees."

The Intercept reported that "dozens of people" from Goldman-Sachs, McKinsey, Facebook, and Google have "quietly been added to the Biden transition team in recent weeks."

Ocasio-Cortez explained that those very types of appointments are a "huge reason why we got [President] Donald Trump in the first place."

"In addition to just the racism that was waiting to be reanimated in this country, [there] was just an extreme disdain for this moneyed political establishment that rules Washington," she proclaimed.

Washington, D.C., and Washington state weren't the only flash points of Antifa thuggery over the weekend.

POLL: Will you remain politically engaged if/when President Trump leaves office?
The black-clad leftists — who gaslight us with their self-described "anti-fascist" credo while engaging in blatantly fascist violence, bullying, and intimidation against anyone who gets in their way with few consequences — decided they would flex their muscles in Sacramento, California.

What happened?
The Proud Boys were protesting there Saturday, and Scott Rodd — the state government reporter for CapRadio News — was there to document the violence when Antifa decided to join the fray.

Rodd noted in a Twitter thread that "today was the most violent of any protest in downtown Sacramento since the election. Mace, batons, fisticuffs. A guy even pulled out a katana." A katana is a Japanese sword with a curved, single-edged blade used for slashing and stabbing — and yes, turns out an Antifa militant was brandishing the Samurai weapon, although Rodd referred to him as a "man on [the] counter-protest side."

Biden’s Tax Plan Is A “Raw New Deal” For Retirees. Here’s Why...

Joe Biden has a long history of screwing over retirees.

It started in 1983, when he voted to slap income taxes on 50% of Social Security income, income that had previously been tax-free.

In 1994, he voted to up the amount of Social Security benefits subject to taxation, to 85%.

In 2000, he turned his attention to estate taxes, voting AGAINST the Estate Tax Elimination Act that would have phased out certain estate taxes by 2010.
Now, he wants to raise over $3.3 TRILLION in taxes... 
And he’s got his eye on America’s nest eggs…
His plan?
He wants to expand estate taxes and “equalize” benefits across tax brackets.
Now that word “equalize”...
It’s not the same as “fair”...
“Equalize” means some will come out ahead… while others will end up with less.

University 'cancels' author of essay who criticized references to Jill Biden as 'Dr': 'Sounds and feels fraudulent'
'Northwestern is firmly committed to equity, diversity and inclusion, and strongly disagrees with Mr. Epstein's misogynistic views'

The author of an opinion essay that criticized references to Jill Biden, the wife of media-declared president-elect Joe Biden, as a "Dr." was summarily canceled from his associations with Northwestern University.

POLL: Will you remain politically engaged if/when President Trump leaves office?
What happened?
Joseph Epstein, an author who was previously a lecturer at Northwestern, argued in an essay for the Wall Street Journal that Jill Biden should not receive the honorary title because her doctorate is neither in medicine nor science, but in education.

In his essay — which was titled, "Is There a Doctor in the White House? Not if You Need an M.D." — Epstein wrote:

Madame First Lady—Mrs. Biden—Jill—kiddo: a bit of advice on what may seem like a small but I think is a not unimportant matter. Any chance you might drop the "Dr." before your name? "Dr. Jill Biden" sounds and feels fraudulent, not to say a touch comic. Your degree is, I believe, an Ed.D., a doctor of education, earned at the University of Delaware through a dissertation with the unpromising title "Student Retention at the Community College Level: Meeting Students' Needs." A wise man once said that no one should call himself "Dr." unless he has delivered a child. Think about it, Dr. Jill, and forthwith drop the doc.
After all, Epstein went on to argue, the process of earning a Ph.D. is not as strenuous as it once was, therefore it is not deserving of the same prestige.

"The Ph.D. may once have held prestige, but that has been diminished by the erosion of seriousness and the relaxation of standards in university education generally, at any rate outside the sciences," Epstein wrote.


How did Northwestern respond?
Epstein's essay was circulated widely on Saturday, generating a tsunami of backlash, both against Epstein, who was accused of being sexist, and against the Wall Street Journal, which was criticized for publishing Epstein's opinion.

Northwestern also received criticism — likely because Epstein identified himself as having "taught at Northwestern University for 30 years" — and the university eventually responded.

In a statement, the Chicago-area university distanced itself from any associations with Epstein, calling his views "misogynistic."

"Joseph Epstein was never a tenured professor at Northwestern and has not been a lecturer here since 2002," the university said.

"While we firmly support academic freedom and freedom of expression, we do not agree with Mr. Epstein's opinion and believe the designation of doctor is well deserved by anyone who has earned a Ph.D., an Ed.D. or an M.D.," the statement continued. "Northwestern is firmly committed to equity, diversity and inclusion, and strongly disagrees with Mr. Epstein's misogynistic views."

Northwestern also removed Epstein's profile from its website. Earlier on Saturday, Epstein was identified as an "emeritus lecturer" at Northwestern.

It appears Northwestern University's English Department has removed Joseph Epstein's profile from its website. Ea… https://t.co/im4hXVSQNT

The Super Bowl-winning coach added, "I would think it would be difficult for someone who believes that God sees us when we are in the womb (Psalm 139:13-16) to think that it is OK to choose not to bring that life to fruition."

Time magazine faced a barrage of backlash on Friday morning after announcing that former Vice President Joe Biden and California Sen. Kamala Harris were the recipients of its "Person of the Year" award.
What's a very brief history here?
Time magazine editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal said that the magazine chose the duo for "changing the American story" with regard to the 2020 presidential election.

The two also showed that the "forces of empathy are greater than the furies of division, for sharing a vision of healing in a grieving world," he said.

Biden responded to the announcement on Twitter, writing, "I'm honored to be Person of the Year with @KamalaHarris and grateful to be on this list with so many extraordinary folks. From front line workers to racial justice organizers, Americans met this year with strength, fortitude, and an unflinching belief in a brighter tomorrow."

Computer repairman at center of 'Biden laptop' scandal breaks silence after reportedly receiving death threats: I'm no 'Russian agent'
Story gets stranger and stranger

John Paul Mac Isaac, the computer repairman at the center of a reported Biden family scandal, is speaking out against any assertions that he is a Russian agent or hacker.
Mac Isaac made the remarks in a new video shared to YouTube on Saturday.

What's a brief history here?
Mac Isaac previously stated that he was in receipt of a laptop computer and hard drive containing highly sensitive information regarding former Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden, and purported business dealings with Ukraine.

In November, Mac Isaac's lawyer, Brian Della Rocca, said that Mac Isaac closed his Wilmington, Delaware, computer repair shop after receiving death threats. A neighbor also told the outlet that Mac Isaac left town.

Hunter has not spoken about the laptop, and the former vice president said that the allegations were nothing more than a "desperate campaign to smear me and my family." He did not confirm whether the laptop belonged to his son.

After going quiet in the months before the election, CNN is now actively reporting the federal investigation into the business dealings of Hunter Biden.

POLL: Who do you trust the least?
Now that the election is over, the media reporting of Hunter Biden's business deals with foreign governments has entered a new phase as federal prosecutors in Delaware, along with the IRS Criminal Investigation agency and the FBI, have issued subpoenas and are seeking interviews in their investigation. Biden's finances are being scrutinized, as federal authorities want to know whether he or his associates violated tax and money-laundering laws in their business deals with China and other foreign countries.

CNN reported that after it contacted Biden's attorney and the Joe Biden campaign for comment about the investigation, Hunter Biden released the following statement:

I learned yesterday for the first time that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs. I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.
But according to CNN, the scope of the investigation goes beyond Biden's taxes, covering business transactions involving individuals the FBI believes may have sparked counterintelligence concerns.
