A South Carolina real estate developer accused a Republican congressman of abusing his power to continue an affair with his estranged wife.

Rep. William Timmons (R-SC) recently went on conservative talk radio this week to address claims by developer Ron Rallis, who said the lawmaker influenced police and judges to have him arrested and jailed on a kidnapping charge to further an affair with his estranged wife, socialite Paula Dhier, reported the Post and Courier.

“My wife and I do not comment on our personal lives because they’re private, and they should remain that way,” Timmons told 106.3 WORD’s The Tara Show. “That said, we are experiencing challenges. We’re going through a difficult time. I regret anything I’ve ever done to let her down.”

Rallis posted on Instagram that he spent months wearing an ankle monitor and was separated from his young daughter before the charge was expunged, but Timmons denied the developer's claims and rejected allegations about "sex parties."

“This has been a distraction,” Timmons told 94.5′s Morning Answer show. “I apologize my personal life is being made into a distraction, but we’re focused. We’re going to stay focused, and we’re going to keep America first, and we’re going to do everything we can to get this country back on track.”

Timmons, who drew Donald Trump's endorsement in his June 14 GOP primary, is an attorney and the owner of the Swamp Rabbit CrossFit gym at Unity Park, said he would continue his campaign for a third term after avoiding a runoff against three Republican opponents.

Rallis has offered to pay anyone who can provide compromising photos of Timmons, who said he would not sue a “gossip blog in Columbia” that first publicized the allegations against the GOP candidate who campaigns on conservative family values.

Conservative Christian pastor arrested for child rape after allegedly grooming underage girl

Youth Pastor Kendal Kippen (Twitter photo)


A 27-year-old right-wing youth pastor from Arlington, Washington has been charged with two counts of third-degree child rape for allegedly sexually abusing a girl who at the time was just 15 years old.

The Everett Herald reports that prosecutors are alleging that Kendal Kippen met a 15-year-old girl at a youth group in 2017, when Kippen was at the time 22 years old.

The two became friends and exchanged contact information, which the girl told prosecutors flattered her at the time. The girl also said that she felt comfortable exchanging her information with Kippen because he was a church leader, which she figured meant he would not take advantage of his position.

The pair's relationship eventually grew to be sexual in nature, however, and prosecutors allege that Kippen repeatedly urged her to not tell anyone about their relationship until she turned 16 years old, which is the legal age of consent in Washington.

Additionally, it appears that the 15-year-old girl wasn't the only member of the church who drew Kippen's attentions, as an anonymous tipster called police in 2020 to report that he had been having "inappropriate relations" with multiple young congregants.

“The caller was concerned because it appeared the leaders of the church, which included the defendant’s father, were attempting to handle the situation without involving law enforcement," prosecutors allege.

Kippen's Twitter account shows that he frequently retweets messages from prominent conservatives such as Ben Shapiro. His pinned tweet reads, "I believe the greatest threat to America is the deterioration of the family unit. Until family is restored, we will be hard pressed to heal a hurting nation."

Neo-fascists’ swastika flags outside Tampa youth summit condemned by Holocaust museum


Emily L. Mahoney, Divya Kumar
Sat, July 23, 2022 at 6:02 PM·2 min read




Calling it “an indefensible act of hatred,” the Florida Holocaust Museum sharply condemned demonstrations at the Tampa Convention Center where a group of neo fascists waved flags with swastikas outside Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit.

“This isn’t about politics or religion,” museum chairman Mike Igel said in a statement. “It’s about humanity. The Florida Holocaust Museum calls upon everyone, Jew and non-Jew, regardless of political affiliation, to condemn this blatant antisemitism in the strongest possible terms. This should matter to everyone.”

Groups clashed briefly outside on the convention center steps. Some were there to protest the gathering inside. Others were there to show support.

A Creative Loafing photographer captured images of neo fascists carrying a swastika flag. They also carried a flag with an SS emblem, and a black sun flag that has been hoisted by far right extremist groups.


“Openly and proudly displaying genocidal symbols is a direct threat to the Jewish community,” Igel said in his statement. “Carrying the Nazi flag, or that of the SS, the unit responsible for some of the worst atrocities of the Holocaust, is an indefensible act of pure hatred.”

A spokesman for Turning Point USA said the neo fascist group was not affiliated with the event.

“We have no idea who they are or why they’re here,” said spokesman Andrew Kolvet. “They have nothing to do with TPUSA, our event, or our students. Our students took the mature route and vacated the space. Once that happened, they left.”

Inside the summit, Turning Point USA’s founder Charlie Kirk told a cheering crowd that there were 5,000 people in attendance. Former president Donald Trump was slated to deliver a keynote address on Saturday night.

Others in the lineup included Republican Reps. Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert and Sen. Josh Hawley. Talking points included culture wars, accusations of uprooting “traditional social values,” denying the existence of transgender people, bashing COVID vaccines and conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was stolen. Tables outside the convention center featured flags that said “Trump won.”

Kirk called Democrats the “invading, occupying force” in the U.S. and encouraged attendees to have lots of children to “outbreed” liberals.

Igel, the museum chairman, thanked Gov. Ron DeSantis, who headlined the Turning Point summit on Friday night, for his support to expand the Holocaust Museum this year in his statement.

“When antisemitic incidents occur that leverage chilling Nazi symbols, we are reminded of the importance of the Florida Holocaust Museum’s mission to preserve the memory of the Holocaust while educating future generations to prevent antisemitism and hatred of all kinds,” he wrote. “We will not be deterred.”

"They have nothing to do with TPUSA, our event, or our students. Our students took the mature route and vacated the space the Nazi flag holders were in. Once that happened, they left," Kolvet said, adding that TPUSA students also argued with the Nazis before disengaging."

I would hope this would be true. Trump staged a seven point coup. And after all the other attempts to overthrow a free and fair election and remain in power failed he resorted to an armed insurrection and an attempted coup by force and violence. That is actually a really big deal. That amounts to at least the dictionary definition of treasonous against the United States of America.

So you would think even Trump supporters seeing that would be revolted by it. But if they are you sue can't tell it by the treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans around here/


Adam Kinzinger: Jan. 6 hearings moved 'hardcore' Trump supporters who 'now just can't stand him'

David Edwards
July 24, 2022



ABC/sreen grab


Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said this week that the House Jan. 6 Committee is getting results because some of former President Donald Trump's "hardcore" supporters "now just can't stand him."

During an interview on ABC's This Week program, host Jonathan Karl ask Kinzinger if the Jan. 6 Committee's work was "having an impact on your Republican colleagues in the House or on Republican voters generally."

"On the House, I don't know," Kinzinger chuckled. "Because I've been -- every day, I cease to be amazed at how much they are willing to accept and not say anything."

"In terms of Republicans in general," he continued, "you have kind of the bulk of Republican voters, this doesn't appear to be having a ton of impact. Maybe people are shifting more towards a potential for a Ron DeSantis. Trumpism isn't dying even though Trump is becoming irrelevant."

Kinzinger added: "I'm hearing a lot of anecdotal stuff around the edges of people who have been, you know, hardcore with Trump but now just can't stand him. It's enough to make a bit of difference within maybe a GOP primary. But I think on the bigger term, it's denying anywhere near 50% of the American voters willing to basically go along with something like the coup on Jan. 6."

Kinzinger said that he expects future Republicans to denounce their allegiance to Trump.

We see this all day every day right here on our own little forum. Treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans pushing nothing but a steady steam of misinformation and just out and out lies. And it does not matter how many times those lies are exposed and proven to be lies. Treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans will just ignore that and pretend it didn't happen and just keep pushing the same lies on other threads.

And no one has to take my word for that. Its something everyone can just see for themselves.




'A tested formula': Columnist explains how the GOP spreads misinformation 'to brainwash its base'

Sarah K. Burris
July 25, 2022



Todd Rokita / Office of Indiana Attorney General.


Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali penned an extensive expose on how the Republican Party is able to manipulate their voter into believing lies and acting out on their behalf.

It's been mere weeks since the Republican Party decided to go all-in on attacking a 10-year-old who'd been raped and impregnated. The girl was forced to go to Indiana because she was three days over the six-week cutoff date for Ohio abortions. Attorney General Dave Yost doubted the rape ever happened, on national television saying that he'd never heard of a police report or a rape kit being done.

"The entire right-wing ecosystem unleashed its full arsenal to discredit the 10-year-old girl as a liar, intimidate her physician, demonize liberals, and continue its march backward, undeterred, in its quest to make Handmaid’s Tale cosplay a reality—in an America that subordinates and punishes women for having the audacity to control their own bodies," wrote Ali.

It was all reported to local police and a man was arrested and ultimately confessed. Yost never apologized. When he was asked to, he replied, "Apologize for what? Questioning a newspaper story?"

Ali's other example is the so-called "big lie," the claim that Donald Trump won the 2020 election, which he didn't.

Each of these perfectly illustrates what Ali said is the four-point plan Republicans have for "brainwashing" their supporters.

"First, Republicans use any means necessary to achieve power and promote their unpopular, extremist, counter-majoritarian agenda," he explained. "Second, they create and promote disinformation and lies to frighten their base and Jedi mind-trick them into believing they are being oppressed by the actual victims."

The third step, he explained, is to create a villain and target them. One method is to destroy them, their careers, family, lives, and if there's no inflammatory information about them, they make it up. The best example is Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was the villain for the COVID-19 crisis because he told Americans to wear a mask and stay home until more was known about transmitting the virus.

They scapegoat, smear and intimidate, Ali wrote.

"Fourth, they never apologize or back down once their lie is exposed, but instead, they double down, and in times of doubt, always pivot towards racism and fear-mongering," he said.

Dave Yost is the perfect example, as he attacked the media for what he said was a fake story. Even if that means Yost actually claimed that her rape never happened and she never had to have an abortion, he gets away without apologizing to her by claiming he wasn't blaming a molested child but his local newspaper. He's made it clear that he's dodging accountability by scapegoating the media.

Indiana Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita tried to change the subject by scapegoating the doctor who performed the abortion, and alleged that the doctor didn't report the rape and that's why the attorney general didn't know that the story was true. That turned out to be a lie as well. Still, he formed his own investigation of the doctor. After it was revealed that he was lying, Rokita is facing a formal complaint for lying about the whole ordeal publicly. He's been sued for damages by the doctor and he's never apologized either.

Let me show you what I believe is the most incredibly wrong prediction in all of XNXX forum history.

Now for full disclosure I thought at least some of this might be true at the time. I knew Trump was literally and clinically mentally ill the day he came down the elevator. And undoubtedly he would not only step on his wienie as @shootersa but that would get worse and worse once he got power because that is what untreated mental illness always does.

And thought that would get so bad that conservative/Republicans would eventually have to stand up him and remove him from office.

But in fact the opposite happened. Much to my amazement even though I have been at personal war against the lie of conservatism as it is preached in this country since 1980 the first thing conservative/Republicans did was shit on and wipe their asses with every "conservative value" they ever pretended to have. Conservative/Republicans have always preached on thing and practiced the opposite but Trump made them pull off the mask and make them back all his non-conservative policies and actions.

Trump gutted and corrupted the entire federal government for nothing more than his own political gain and instead of being president Trump never stopped campaigning. And conservative/Republican instead of taking a stand against him cheered instead while they racked up a trillion dollar budget deficit in a time of prosperity and before anyone ever heard of COVID.

Trump got caught red handed colluding with Putin/Russia to help him get elected and then squandered our national security constantly covering up for Putin and doing his bidding. And conservative/Republicans helped cover that up.

Trump also got caught red handed trying to extort Ukraine into falsely claiming Joe and Hunter Biden were guilty of corruption. And that was not some complicated investigation. He was caught on a recorded phone call doing exactly that. And while conservative/Republicans couldn't even really manage to cover that up for him they still violated all their oaths of office and refused to convict Trump in the face of overwhelming documented evidence.

Then Trump lost the presidential election and started screaming there was massive voter fraud. Conservative/Republicans knew that was a lie. And said as much when they said what's the harm in humoring Trump for this little bit? Just let him keep telling his lie until he finally peacefully leaves office.

But that is not what Trump did. He used that little bit of time to organize and orchestrate a massive seven part coup to overthrow the results of a free and fair election and make himself dictator for life. And when all the other coup attempts failed Trump decided to call his domestic terrorist to the Capito0l, stage an armed and deadly insurrection, and attempt the first violent attempted coup in American history.

And when conservative/Republicans refused to stand up to Trump over out and out treason against the United States of America they were no longer conservative/Republicans. They are now treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans that threw away every great thing the United States of America has ever had including our Constitution, the rule of law, and democracy itself for just one man. The most mentally ill, stupid and ignorant, incompetent, corrupt, deadly, and treasonous president in US history.

I do not see how they can hate the United States of America more than that or how @shootersa could be more wrong. But all you have to do is follow his own "evolution" from Trump being a gasbag to a great president right here on our forum.


'They're a bunch of sheep': Kevin McCarthy and GOP hammered for refusing to stand up to Trump

Tom Boggioni

Kevin McCarthy (Photo by Nicholas Kamm for AFP)


During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Rep. Sean Maloney (D-NY) expressed disgust with the Republican House leadership that continues to defend Donald Trump despite all the revelations coming out of the televised House select committee hearings on January 6.

Sitting in with fill-in host Jonathan Lemire, the New York Democrat claimed he doesn't see his Republican colleagues walking away from the former president anytime soon.

Referring to his newly published book, Lemire stated, "Republicans have been showing a display of cowardice since before Trump was even elected. We remember [Texas Sen.] Ted Cruz during the Republican National Convention in 2016 stood up there and didn't offer an endorsement. He said vote your conscience and he was booed. Within days, it was clear the supporters of Trump was overwhelming and starting to just flood and defeat Ted Cruz's career."

"After Trump left office on January 20, [House Minority Leader] Kevin McCarthy went down to see Trump and apologized for the harsh language," he continued. "That shows just how firm his grip still remains and that is who, if not Trump, Trumpism is still the Democrat's opponent this fall."

"Yeah, I know it is early and this is a family show, but that really infuriating, Maloney replied. "I work with Kevin McCarthy. We were all there on the floor that day, we watched those cops in a three-hour fistfight with a bunch of thugs, innocent people got hurt a sacred space was attacked. They are all a bunch of sheep and shouldn't be holding a gavel, that's what's at stake."

"If you're going to put a bunch of craven and cowardly MAGA Republicans behind the podiums, holding the gavels, you're going to get more of that," he continued. "It's dangerous and it's also wrong. "

"I also think it's not too much to expect in America that somebody in that party have a backbone and can stand up to this nonsense," he added. "It sure as hell ought to be the next guy who is the speaker from the party and is not Kevin McCarthy," he added.

What's really so much fun is watching the despicables twirl and stamp their feet at all things Trump.
Trump is out of office.
He won't be coming back.
And still he's the bogy man for all despicables.
The obsession is so fun to watch, as they charge and attack and feint and retreat.
Like watching Don Quixote at the windmill.

Over 30 Federal and state investigations
Not one indictment of Trump.
No perp walk.
No trial.
No conviction.
And even if they got their indictment and perp walk today it would be so anti-climactic they'd froth at that.

Yes.
Trump really is that innocent and his persecutors really are that incompetent.

 

Trump could not be indicted while he was president and you are just proving what I said above. You went from Trump is a gasbag that will step on his wienie who the Republicans will stand up to to hey there were lots of investigations but now indictments. And continue to follow Trump all the way to treason against the United States of America.


And so is Lindsey Graham. So what if Trump committed treason, incited an armed insurrection and the first attempted coup in American history. We can still use him.

Lindsey Graham: The GOP Likes Trump Because We Can Use Him



Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the quiet part aloud on why he’s still so close to former President Donald Trump: because we can use him for our goals. “President Trump has gotten people who wouldn’t give me or Romney or anybody else the time of day. They believe he is on their side,” the senator told the America First Agenda Summit crowd on Tuesday in Washington, D.C. “I’m trying to move to a strong America, and he’s the vehicle to get us there.” He also poked fun at his own failed run for president in 2016—and his former-enemy-turned-convenient-friend’s personality. “I like him and he likes him,” Graham joked to laughter. Graham has recently returned to being fully supportive of his golfing partner, whom he famously disavowed after the Jan. 6 insurrection with a “count me out” speech on the Senate floor. “He’s good for business,” he confessed to Mark Leibovich in The Atlantic journalist’s book Thank You for Your Servitude.

Republican's top ally says Jews aren't welcome in conservative movement: 'This is an explicitly Christian country'

Brad Reed
July 27, 2022

A top ally for the Republican Party's nominee for Pennsylvania's governor has now explicitly said that Jews should not be welcome into the American conservative movement unless they convert to Christianity.

The Jerusalem Post reports that Andrew Torba, the founder of the far-right Gab social media website that Mastriano has used to promote his campaign for governor, said recently that he believes American conservatism should be for Christians only, and that conservatives should reject right-wing Jewish figures such as Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin.

"We don't want people who are Jewish," he said. "We don't want people who are, you know, nonbelievers, agnostic, whatever. This is an explicitly Christian movement because this is an explicitly Christian country. We're not saying we're going to deport all these people or whatever. You're free to stay here. You're not going to be forced to convert or anything like this because that's not biblical whatsoever. But you're going to enjoy the fruits of living in a Christian society under Christian laws and under a Christian culture and you can thank us later."

Torba also explained why he believed that it was so important for Mastriano to win, as he believed it would pave the way for a full-blown theocracy.

"This is the most important election of the 2022 midterms because Doug is an outspoken Christian," he said. "He's going to turn this state around for the glory of God. That is the mission here folks."

Mastriano has been slammed even by some Republicans for his extremist ideology, as he has openly embraced the Christian nationalist movement and attended a QAnon-promoting conference earlier this year.

Five Points On Doug Mastriano’s Relationship With An Anti-Semitic Tech Founder

Doug Mastriano, the far-right Republican gubernatorial nominee in Pennsylvania, has come under fire in recent days for a deal his campaign struck with Andrew Torba, the anti-Semitic founder of the social media platform Gab — though it’s not clear Mastriano cares.

Here are the basics of Mastriano’s relationship with Torba, and some background on the men:

1
Doug Mastriano paid Gab $5,000 for “campaign consulting.”
Mastriano has worn his far-right identity on his sleeve throughout his political rise. One early claim to fame was his role in attempting to steal Donald Trump a second term: Mastriano held a hearing to air Trump’s election lies and supported the effort to submit a fraudulent slate of Electoral College votes to Congress. He even organized a bus trip to Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6 and marched near the Capitol. A couple days before the attack, he said Republicans were “in this death match with the Democrat Party.” Now, as he runs for governor, he’s hired Jenna Ellis, of Donald Trump’s campaign legal team, to his own campaign. (This all is acutely concerning because, as Pennsylvania governor, he would appoint the state’s secretary of state, its top elections official.)

But news of his campaign’s $5,000 payment to Gab, reported by Media Matters from campaign finance filings as “campaign consulting,” took his far-right credentials to a new level, and became a big story earlier this month. Gab has become a haven for extreme right-wingers, including the man who killed 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue. Shortly after that attack, as the shooter’s posts on the website began to be discovered, Gab’s Twitter account bragged, “We have been getting 1 million hits an hour all day.”

2
In this case, “campaign consulting” seems to mean buying followers.
As HuffPost reported earlier this month, the $5,000 from Mastriano’s campaign to Gab appears to have paid for more than “consulting.” All new accounts on the site now appear to automatically follow Mastriano’s campaign page (along with six other accounts including Torba’s own).

In April, prior to the “consulting” payment, an archived version of Mastriano’s Gab page showed 2,300 followers, HuffPost reported. Now, he’s at more than 38,000.

3
Gab’s founder is an open anti-Semite, and has embraced the Christian nationalist movement.
Andrew Torba makes no mystery of his politics. From Gab’s Twitter account last year, he wrote, “We’re building a parallel Christian society because we are fed up and done with the Judeo-Bolshevik one.” It was part of a long thread of anti-Semitic messages.

After a racist gunman shot and killed 10 Black shoppers in Buffalo, New York this year — after penning a manifesto referring to racist memes about a “replacement” of white people in the United States — Torba wrote on Gab, “The best way to stop White genocide and White replacement, both of which are demonstrably and undeniably happening, is to get married to a White woman and have a lot of White babies.”

As Media Matters and the Anti-Defamation League have documented, Torba frequently posts anti-Semitic material on his Gab account to his millions of followers.

A few weeks ago, two months after Torba endorsed Mastriano, the Gab founder filmed a video again making his anti-Semitic politics clear.

“This isn’t a big tent,” Torba said. “This is a Christian movement, full stop. The only way that we’re going to gain any ground in the culture, in the government, in taking our towns, our cities, our states, our counties in our country back is by putting Jesus Christ first. It’s just that simple. There’s no other way. There’s no other path.”

Separately, Torba said he considered certain Jewish conservatives — Dave Rubin and Ben Shapiro — unwelcome in the movement unless “they repent and accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior.”

“We don’t want people who are atheists,” he said. “We don’t want people who are Jewish. We don’t want people who are, you know, nonbelievers, agnostic, whatever.”

4
Mastriano has defended the Gab partnership and still posts on the website.
Mastriano is still a Gab user, posting on the site as recently as Monday.

But the relationship to the website and its founder goes much deeper than that: In May, shortly after his website received a $5,000 check from Mastriano’s campaign, Torba interviewed Mastriano in a conversation that included plenty of praise from both men for each other. “Thank God for what you’ve done,” Mastriano told Torba. He also said that he liked his memes.

“He has a reach of like 4 million people, which is fantastic, and apparently about a million of them are in Pennsylvania, so we’ll have some good reach,” Mastriano said of Torba after the interview.

After HuffPost’s reporting, Mastriano retweeted someone who called the Gab partnership “legit & creative campaigning.”

5
Mastriano has also leaned into themes of Christian warfare in his campaign.
Mastriano’s campaign kick-off rally included a shofar blast, an increasingly common move for far-right Christians. Michael Flynn, the former Trump national security advisor and pardon recipient, commented of the performance: “Prayer is the most powerful weapon system known to man.”

Mastriano rejected the label “Christian nationalist” in a statement to the The New Yorker. But he is unabashed in his mixture of right-wing politics and his assertion that America ought to be an explicitly Christian nation. The magazine’s profile noted Mastriano has supported legislation to mandate teaching the Bible in public schools, and to allow adoption agencies to discriminate against same-sex couples.

He has repeatedly compared abortion rights to the Holocaust. At a pre-Jan. 6 “Jericho March,” The New Yorker reported, Mastriano asked his followers to “do what George Washington asked us to do in 1775. Appeal to Heaven. Pray to God. We need an intervention.”

“God is really working in our state,” he said at the conspiracy-theory oriented Patriots Arise for God, Family, and County event in April. “In November, we’re going to take our state back. My God will make it so.”

He later denounced “this myth of separation of church and state” and referred to Benjamin Franklin as “a radical rightwing evangelical Christian by today’s standards,” the newsletter A Public Witness reported.

'Circus': Louie Gohmert outraged after Cicilline has articles fact-checking GOP false claims put into congressional record

David Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement
July 29, 2022



Louie Gohmert (Saul Loeb AFP)


The Republican outrage was described as a "small political side circus," after U.S. Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) succeeded on Thursday in having several fact-checking articles exposing Republicans' false claims made part of the Congressional Record.

The articles all debunked the false and baseless claims conservatives and the far right have been making for nearly a year, that Attorney General Merrick Garland called parents speaking at school boards "domestic terrorists," and was investigating them.

Cicilline first tried to read the articles into the record, but Republicans immediately objected.

The Democrat from Rhode Island appeared genuinely surprised that the Judiciary Committee Republicans would object to the very basic and standard procedure. He was forced to describe the articles to have them included in the official record – something the Republicans also caused a commotion over.

Referring to Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Cicilline said that "the ranking member made reference to a Department of Justice whistleblower memo and grossly mischaracterized its content. So I'd ask unanimous consent that I'd be permitted to read the memo into the record."

Republicans objected.

"You object to reading into the record the memo?" Cicilline, shocked, asked. "Then I ask unanimous consent that the document that the Republicans were afraid to have be read aloud be introduced into the record."

He read the titles into the record (NCRM has linked to those titles online below.)

"No, the federal government isn't using the Patriot Act to treat parents like domestic terrorists," which refutes a claim Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH) made last year in October during another Judiciary Committee hearing.

"McCarthy's false claims that Garland called parents 'terrorists'" was the title of another article made part of the record.

"Attorney General never called concerned parents 'domestic terrorists'" was yet another article.

"Kevin McCarthy keeps repeating false claim that attorney general called parents terrorists for wanting to attend school board meetings," was the final article.

Cicilline then asked "unanimous consent" that Republicans "read these documents and stop making false claims," to which the Chair responded, "Good luck with that."

Republicans were outraged.

"Point of order!" yelled one.

"The gentleman just impugned our integrity!" Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) decried. "I would demand that his words be taken down. He is not allowed under the rules to impugn false statements by this side."

Gohmert literally point his finger at Cicilline as he yelled.

"And as far as Politifact, and some of those, they couldn't find the truth with both hands," Gohmert, making what would likely be a "pants on fire claim," also charged.

The Jim Jordan Louie-Gohmert part of the GOP caucus did not appear to have the full support of their fellow members.

U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, a far right Republican of Texas, held his head in his hand during part of the outbreak, and later ignored it by using his cell phone. U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky was laughing toward the end.

Meanwhile, if it isn't in line with despicable agendas, and the facts are just too plain and obvious to be refuted, change the definition. You know, just move the goal posts.
Then do a victory dance and start over.

 

Sounds like he might not go silently if he loses this election. It's his way or no way!

 

QAnon influencers pushing antisemitic conspiracies about Ukraine food supply

QAnon influencers and anti-vaxxers are spreading an antisemitic conspiracy theory about the global food crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Conspiracy theorist Twitter accounts have started pushing disinformation blaming Jewish people for the interruption of grain exports from Ukraine, echoing claims by the Russian government -- which has blamed western sanctions on the disruption, according to research by the Network Contagion Research Institute that was reported by The Guardian.

"According to NCRI, the accounts frequently link rising food insecurity to a 'cabal of shadowy, and often Jewish elites, for bringing about the New World Order,' rather than to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine," the newspaper reported.

Russian has blocked Ukraine's shipping ports, which puts millions of people in Africa and elsewhere at risk of starvation, but antisemitic social media users are making up claims about Jewish manipulation of the food supply.

“Never believe for one moment there’s a shortage of anything. Food. Water. Oil. They create and manufacture these shortages. These aren’t naturally occurring whatsoever," claimed QAnon influencer GhostEzra.

The NCRI and the Rutgers Miller Center conducted open-source analysis of Russian disinformation websites and individuals, and then analyzed the use of terms around food security on Twitter and Telegram, and detected the pattern of disinformation flowing from Kremlin-linked media and QAnon influencers and other conspiracy theorists.

“There is a significant overlap between QAnon and other anti-vax and online conspiracy communities,” said Alex Goldenberg, lead intelligence analyst at the NCRI and a research fellow at the Rutgers Miller Center for Community Protection and Resilience. “Some of the more colorful food-mandate conspiracies intermingle with anti-vaccine conspiracy theories.”

It's not disinformation, only the jews start crisis after crisis

 

@pauldz, I think this comment by Bret Stevens explains your resentment toward Jews:

"The common answer is that Jews are, or tend to be, smart. When it comes to Ashkenazi Jews, it’s true. “Ashkenazi Jews have the highest average IQ of any ethnic group for which there are reliable data,” noted one 2005 paper. “During the 20th century, they made up about 3% of the US population but won 27% of the US Nobel science prizes and 25% of the ACM Turing awards. They account for more than half of world chess champions.”

Jews are not despised by those who think Jews are inferior. They are resented by those who know that Jews are superior. I am not Jewish, but the way.

 

Yeppers it looks like the American Taliban is going to get the Supreme Court to rule states can go back to outlawing interracial marriage.

Matt Schlapp, the founder of the Conservative Political Action Conference, said this week that he is being called a racist for allowing Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to speak at the event after he came out against "race mixing."

Orbán recently said that countries where races mingle are “no longer nations.”

During an appearance on Real America's Voice, Schlapp recalled that he had also held a CPAC event in Hungary.

"All these people are talking about how racist conservatives are because of immigration or that," Schlapp recalled. "And I was, like, how about this? How about in America we stop killing our unborn children?"

"You know, we're killing young unborn kids of color!" he added. "More Blacks are aborted than are allowed to live. I'm not for that!"

"They say that we're the racists?" Schlapp exclaimed. "Stop funding Planned Parenthood, stop funding the genocide of that young black child. I want to embrace them into our civilization! They want to give them the death sentence!"

Black women have higher abortion rates than white women because of a greater rate of unintended pregnancies, according to the Guttmacher Institute.

"Black women are three to four times more likely to experience a pregnancy-related death than white women, and the risk spans income and education levels," the Texas Tribune recently noted.
