Emails Show Dems Elec' Officials Colluded To Censor All
Emails Show Dem Election Officials Colluded with Big Tech to Censor It ALL
(Big League Politics) – Documents obtained in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from Judicial Watch show that government officials pleaded with tech platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, essentially begging them to censor content throughout last year’s election.
Judicial Watch has obtained 540 pages of documents showing how the California secretary of state’s office demanded for tech giants to censor claims of fraud and irregularities. The tech giants happily complied with the orders in most cases, showing how the private and public sectors are colluding to enforce Big Brother controls against free speech.
Jenna Dresner, who works as senior public information officer for the Office of Election Cybersecurity, admitted to the role of the secretary of state’s office to enforce Big Brother.
“We don’t take down posts, that is not our role to play,” Dresner said. “We alert potential sources of misinformation to the social media companies and we let them make that call based on community standards they created.”
Judicial Watch noted that the California secretary of state’s office has targeted their content, falsely claiming it is misinformation and demanding for social media companies to remove their videos.
“These new documents suggest a conspiracy against the First Amendment rights of Americans by the California Secretary of State, the Biden campaign operation, and Big Tech,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
“These documents blow up the big lie that Big Tech censorship is ‘private’ – as the documents show collusion between a whole group of government officials in multiple states to suppress speech about election controversies,” he added.
While it has been well-known that social media companies are in the tank for the Democrats for quite some time, these email leaks show how Democrat officials work hand-in-glove with monolithic corporations to control the flow of information.
One leaked email shows Chris Miller, listed as communications coordinator for California secretary of state Alex Padilla, demanding that certain information be censored, and Facebook’s affirmative response that they would comply with future requests.
Shasta County Clerk Cathy Darling Allen received a response in minutes from Cristina Flores, who handles U.S. Politics and Government Outreach for Facebook, after issuing her censorship request to the tech giant.
Another email shows officials in the California secretary of state’s office colluding with a third-party firm to stifle content from right-wing voices like talk radio host Michael Savage…
Twitter had developed sophisticated policies allowing Democrats to control information about elections on their monopoly social media platform. The terms made it clear that suppressing all information Democrats do not want understood by the masses was the top priority on election day last year.
An interaction between California secretary of state press secretary Sam Mahood and former Twitter public policy manager Kevin Kane, who has since moved to YouTube, shows how Democrats interacted with tech giants in real time to commit Orwellian censorship.
As more information is uncovered about what actually happened during the 2020 elections, the case for the most heinous crime in U.S. history builds.

Biden Official Confirms Plans to Ban Fried Chicken and Grape Drink
By Jeff Charles
Apr 29, 2021
AUSTIN, TX– The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) is preparing to institute more measures to safeguard black lives by banning products they like. After it was announced that the Biden administration would prohibit the sale of menthol cigarettes, officials are looking at other ways the government can save the black community from itself.
Only days after the menthol ban was announced, the FDA declared that it was pushing full steam ahead with its effort to rescue the black community through what they refer to as “strategic race-based prohibition.” An FDA official explained that the fried fowl and grape-flavored cola – also known as “grape drank” – must be banned because “these hopeless negroes don’t know how to act.”
“Preventing black people from killing themselves by banning certain products is the least we can do given the level of oppression they have endured in this country,” said a high-ranking member of the Biden administration. “This is why fried chicken and grape soda have to go.”
He added: “How could they possibly survive if we don’t make these decisions for them?”
Some have raised concerns about the menthol ban, arguing that it would lead to more interactions with the police which could result in more black fatalities during these encounters. However, the FDA assures us the number of black men shot to death by police will pale in comparison to the warm fuzzy feeling white progressives will have knowing African Americans are no longer smoking Newports, eating Popeye’s, or drinking carbonated grape-flavored beverages.
Another FDA official also noted that “dying from fried chicken consumption is proven to be more fatal than being riddled with racist police bullets.”
“It is SO fatal. You don’t even know,” the official said.
The new measure is expected to cause some upheaval in the fried chicken industry. Kentucky Fried Chicken and Popeye’s are both scrambling to develop new baked chicken recipes and have begun looking at plant-based options. “We need to show these blacks that fake fried chicken is better than real fried chicken,” he argued.
The official seemed optimistic about the plan, insisting that “it won’t be nearly as hard as getting them to take that damn vaccine.”

New Evidence - Kerry Lied about Iran Collusion
New Evidence Emerges that John Kerry Lied About His Collusion With Iran
By Bonchie
Apr 30, 2021
Last week, a major story broke involving John Kerry and leaked communications from Iran’s Javad Zarif. In the tapes, we were given a picture of how much the killing of General Qasem Soleimani crippled Iran’s terror operations.
But it was a mention of Israeli strikes in Syria that really perked ears up. According to Zarif, Kerry had tipped him off about 200 attacks that had been carried out by the Israelis.
While the Biden administration tried to play the news off as Kerry sharing public knowledge that Zarif already knew, Kerry himself denied the claim that he had shared the information in question at all (see John Kerry Just Backed the Biden Administration Into a Corner Over His Reported Collusion With Iran).

Portland Police Union Pres' City Close To All-Out War.
Portland Police Union President Reveals City Is on the Precipice of an All-Out Gang War
Jack Davis
May 16, 2021
Amid what one law enforcement official has called a “seemingly indiscriminate cycle of violence,” the police union in Portland, Oregon, has a dire prediction for the city.
“We are on the precipice of a gang war,” Daryl Turner, Executive Director of the Portland Police Association, posted Thursday on the union’s Facebook page.
“Right now, our community has a sense of hopelessness. They have resigned themselves to the fact that things will get worse, not better. Residents are moving out of the City, businesses are being forced to relocate, and good, hard-working police officers are leaving the Bureau to work for other agencies,” he wrote.

AF Lt. Colonel Fired After Remarks On CRT & Marxism
Air Force Lt. Colonel Fired After Remarks About Marxism, Critical Race Theory Spreading in Military
Kristina Wong16 May 20213,878

A United States Air Force lieutenant colonel was fired from his command at Space Force after he gave interviews about his new book in which he said Marxism and critical race theory (CRT) are spreading in the military.
Air Force Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, the head of Space Operations Command, fired Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier from his post as commander of 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado, after at least two interviews in which he discussed his new book, Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military, according to reports.
Lohmeier, an Air Force Academy graduate, gave an interview on May 7 on the podcast Information Operations with host Air Force veteran L. Todd Wood, and he said critical race theory is rooted in Marxism and “our diversity, inclusion, and equity industry and the trainings we’re receiving in the military are rooted in critical race theory.”
“The language of the training, which most people don’t understand but I help lay it out in the book, was devised by Marxists,” he said. “It’s intended to be divisive and yet we spread it about the military services pretending it’s going to unify everyone.”
Lohmeier complimented Air Force and Space Force senior leaders, but said, “especially because of the climate at the moment, people that sense that something is off with all of the diversity and inclusion trainings and the language and the coerced speech and all this kind of stuff, they’re unwilling and perhaps because they don’t understand it. They’re unwilling to take a stand against it because they fear perhaps they might be in the wrong.”
“Or they might not get promoted,” he added. “We spend a lot of time talking about Great Power Competition … but we face our greatest threat here at home.”
Lohmeier criticized the Air Force’s materials he was given to conduct the stand-down on extremism ordered by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to discuss extremism with his troops. He said the training materials began with a vignette about the January 6 Capitol breach. “That context painted the entire discussion and all the talking points.”
He said all of the examples that were given in the training did not mention riots during the summer of 2020 but only had to do with “various odd examples of white nationalists that had been caught at some point in the last decade and had been punished for it and kicked out of the military, or a radical Islamic terrorist.”
Lohmeier said he did not accuse senior leaders of “ill motives” but said, “if we pursue this agenda, it will divide us. It will not unify us.”
He said he does not care what political views his troops have, but he opposes senior leaders politicizing the military. “That’s not what the American people expect, and that’s not our obligation,” he said.
He called the work environment “hyper-politicized,” where “diversity and inclusion initiatives are being pushed constantly.”
He said at his base, troops were reading a book called, So You Want to Talk About Race? in which there are suggestions about where they should donate money and what politicians they should be donating to, and the U.S. is referred to as a “white supremacist nation” throughout the book.
“It has no place in the military whatsoever,” he said.
He said neo-Marxist thought has found a welcome home in the Democrat Party. “What you see happening in the U.S. military at the moment is that if you’re a conservative, then you’re lumped into a group of people who are labeled extremists if you voice your views. If you’re aligned with the left, then it’s OK to be an activist online because no one is going to hold you accountable.”
He advised new troops to push back against critical race theory because it is “discriminatory” and is a form of extremism, according to DoD Instruction 1325.06. “People need to be courageous,” he said.
Lohmeier said it is his personal opinion that Chinese President Xi Jinping would love nothing more than to watch “us rot like this from the inside because that means there will be no great power competition between the United States and China. There will not need to be.”
He said other active-duty troops have reached out to thank him for writing his book, saying they had no voice.
Wood had joked to Lohmeier during the interview, “You’ll probably be removed after this interview goes live.”
A Space Force spokesperson told Military.com, which first reported Whiting’s decision to fire Lohmeier, the decision “was based on public comments made by Lt. Col. Lohmeier in a recent podcast.”
“Lt. Gen. Whiting has initiated a Command Directed Investigation on whether these comments constituted prohibited partisan political activity,” the spokesperson said.
Breitbart News contacted the Air Force for more details on Sunday but did not receive a response by publication.
Lohmeier also appeared May 12 on The Steve Gruber podcast to discuss his book, according to CNN. During that interview, he criticized the New York Times‘ 1619 Project as “anti-America” and said, “it denies America’s founding philosophy and insists that the whole purpose for the founding of the country was to institute slavery [inaudible] and it’s a teaching that I heard at my base.”
Lohmeier said during the interview he has tried to push back against these narratives using official chain-of-command processes and the Air Force inspector general’s office. “The most important thing is that people need to be courageous,” he said. “We need to reject critical race theory.”
Lohmeier told Military.com, “My intent never has been to engage in partisan politics. I have written a book about a particular political ideology in the hope that our Defense Department might return to being politically non-partisan in the future as it has honorably done throughout history.”
Republican lawmakers expressed outrage over Lohmeier’s firing.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) called Lohmeier a hero in a tweet Sunday evening.
Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) called it “outrageous” that Lohmeier was fired for voicing concern that the U.S. military is promoting Marxist ideologies.
And Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) tweeted Sunday:
“Lt. Col. Lohmeier is a Patriot telling the truth about the attempted wokeification of our military — and worse. His demotion is clearly retaliatory. I will be seeking action on this in the Armed Services Committee.”
Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) last week introduced a bill that would ban CRT from being taught at military academies, as reported by Breitbart News, and other Republicans have introduced legislation against CRT in recent days.

CDC Caught Skewing Covid Numbers
The CDC Gets Caught Red-Handed Skewing the Numbers on COVID

The CDC has hardly covered itself in glory over the course of the COVID pandemic, and things have only gotten worse since Joe Biden took over. Once heralded as a bastion of science, the agency now spends its time bending the knee to the teacher’s unions and putting out completely unevidenced, politicized “guidance.”
Now, the CDC has been caught red-handed skewing the numbers on COVID outdoor transmission.
The CDC has been DRAMATICALLY overstating the risk of outdoor transmission.

Biden Not Replenishing Military Assets
Biden Doing Nothing About Depletion Of U.S. Military Assets
Frank Vernuccio
May 11, 2021
Despite the growing danger from China, Russia, North Korea and Iran, there appears to be little budgetary reaction in Washington. Although the U.S. is withdrawing from Afghanistan, the effect of decades of concentrating on countering terrorism has exhausted U.S. personnel and depleted combat equipment. Rather than focusing on peer threats from China and Russia, America’s armed forces are geared to actions from far less powerful or sophisticated adversaries.
At this point, critics note, the Pentagon should be provided with funding to refresh, refocus, and retool its inventory. However, it appears that the funding for that task will not be forthcoming.
Acting Army Secretary John Whitley, in a report noted in the Federal Times, warned that, “We’re about 35% of the active duty and strength of the department; about 45% if you add in reserve forces[.] […] [W]e’re two thirds of the readiness demands and the readiness priorities for warfighting for the Department of Defense. The Army cannot sustain that level of commitment, and operating tempo and readiness for such a wide range of things in a declining budget environment and that’s the simple math.”
Even as Russia openly threatens the Ukraine, surging massive numbers of troops on its border, and China engages in actions designed to prepare its military to attack Taiwan (Beijing recently engaged in its largest aerial incursion into the Island nation’s air defense zone), the U.S. Department of Defense has received what amounts to an inflation-adjusted budget decrease from the Biden Administration. Some in Congress have even proposed steeper cuts.
Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks is emphasizing sobering realities regarding China.
She gave specific examples of China’s dramatic military buildup, noting that Beijing continues to strengthen its ability to conduct joint operations, and field increasingly sophisticated conventional systems such as long-range precision missiles and integrated air defense weaponry. The PRC is also advancing its space and cyber capabilities, giving the nation a prolific and effective espionage threat.
“Beijing has the economic, military and technological capability to challenge the international system and America’s interests within it. This is happening all along the continuum of conflict — from routine statecraft, through the use of sharp power or gray-zone tactics, to the potential for sustained combat operations and an expanded and capable nuclear enterprise. […] As an example, Beijing continues to leverage its maritime militia to press its unlawful claims in the South China Sea.”
China’s rate of increase in military appropriations exceeds that of either the Soviet Union or the United States at the height of the Cold War. The actual value of the PRC’s spending is even more formidable when various factors are taken into account, including the fact that billions that would be spent on research and development are saved by stealing technology from western nations, especially the U.S., and the fact that, unlike western nations, profits by private defense contractors are not much of a consideration.
Recently, the office of the Director of National Intelligence noted that the Chinese Communist Party conducts a whole-of-government effort to spread China’s influence, undercut that of the United States, drive wedges between Washington and its allies and partners, and foster new international norms that favor the authoritarian Chinese model.
The threats from Russia and China are not just to other nations. The Air Force Times reports, “Intercepting record numbers of Russian aircraft off of North America’s west coast has stretched Air Force units thin, a top service official in Alaska said. ‘We have certainly seen an increase in Russian activity. We intercepted over 60 aircraft last year. […] We monitor more than that,” Lt. Gen. David Krumm said from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. “That’s the most action the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone — a region spanning 200 nautical miles that reaches past U.S. territory and into international airspace — has seen since the Soviet Union fell in 1991.”

Biden Not Replenishing Military Assets
Biden Doing Nothing About Depletion Of U.S. Military Assets
Frank Vernuccio
May 11, 2021
Despite the growing danger from China, Russia, North Korea and Iran, there appears to be little budgetary reaction in Washington. Although the U.S. is withdrawing from Afghanistan, the effect of decades of concentrating on countering terrorism has exhausted U.S. personnel and depleted combat equipment. Rather than focusing on peer threats from China and Russia, America’s armed forces are geared to actions from far less powerful or sophisticated adversaries.
At this point, critics note, the Pentagon should be provided with funding to refresh, refocus, and retool its inventory. However, it appears that the funding for that task will not be forthcoming.
Acting Army Secretary John Whitley, in a report noted in the Federal Times, warned that, “We’re about 35% of the active duty and strength of the department; about 45% if you add in reserve forces[.] […] [W]e’re two thirds of the readiness demands and the readiness priorities for warfighting for the Department of Defense.

No Flu, Just Covid!
Finally Admitted: Flu Has Disappeared Now That Unproven COVID Is Here
Written by: Mac Slavo
Published on: April 30, 2021
Imagine that. The seasonal flu that has infected hundreds of thousands of Americans every year has magically disappeared since COVID-19 has surfaced.
If you want to read the most blatant propaganda on Earth that only those with absolutely no critical thinking skills would believe, look no further than Scientific American’s reason why there is no more flu:
The reason, epidemiologists think, is that the public health measures taken to keep the coronavirus from spreading also stop the flu. Influenza viruses are transmitted in much the same way as SARS-CoV-2, but they are less effective at jumping from host to host. -Scientific American
If that’s the truth, why aren’t the masks and “public health measures” stopping COVID-19? People who mask religiously are still getting it. Below is an article about a study conducted by the ruling class and their own alphabet agency that has shown that most of those who get sick follow their commands and wear the muzzle around all the time.
CDC Study: Most COVID-19 Cases Were Admitted Mask Wearers
Or are people getting the flu and the PCR tests that aren’t diagnostic tools are set to show a positive COVID-19 test for almost anything? How about you decide. Since the mainstream media can’t be bothered to ask questions, only follow orders, it’s up to us to use our discernment.
As Scientific American reported last fall, the drop-off in flu numbers was both swift and universal. Since then, cases have stayed remarkably low. “There’s just no flu circulating,” says Greg Poland, who has studied the disease at the Mayo Clinic for decades. The U.S. saw about 600 deaths from influenza during the 2020-2021 flu season. In comparison, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated there were roughly 22,000 deaths in the prior season and 34,000 two seasons ago. -Scientific American
It kind of makes one ponder when they’ll bring in COVID-21 to panic the masses? Is that what all the variants in India are for?
The Fear-Mongering Continues: Over 7,000 COVID-19 Mutations In India, Variants Spread In CA
We had better open our eyes and start really asking some questions about this massive hoax. Time will be up eventually and then there is no going back. With massive amounts of the population already convinced to take a falsely labeled “vaccine” that no one knows the long-term side effects of, things could get interesting, to say the least.
More COIVD-19 Vax Deaths: Think They’ll Blame This On COVID-21?
Never stop asking questions. Stay alert and prepared. If we lose our discernment we will be pulled around by the invisible chains the ruling class is desperately trying to fasten on us. Double-check your preps every few weeks because this is not over. They tell us that much several times a day. But what’s next, is anyone’s guess.

Why Biden Added 2.5 Mill' Residents To Blue State
Why Did Biden Census Bureau Add 2.5 Million More Residents to Blue-State Population Count?
Stephen Moore
May 04, 2021
There is something very fishy about the new 2020 Census Bureau data determining which states picked up seats and which states lost seats.
Most all of the revisions to the original estimates have moved in one direction: Population gains were added to blue states, and population losses were subtracted from red states. The December revisions in population estimates under the Biden Census Bureau added some 2.5 million blue-state residents and subtracted more than 500,000 red-state residents. These population estimates determine how many electoral votes each state receives for presidential elections and the number of congressional seats in each state.
Is this a mere coincidence?
These population estimates determine how many electoral votes each state receives for presidential elections and the number of congressional seats in each state.
Remember, the House of Representatives is razor-thin today, with the Democrats sporting just a six-seat majority with five seats currently vacant. So, a switch in a handful of seats in 2022 elections could flip the House and take the gavel away from current Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats. A shift of 3 million in population is the equivalent of four seats moving from Republican to Democrat.
The original projections for the Census reapportionment had New York losing two seats, Rhode Island losing a seat and Illinois perhaps losing two seats. Instead, New York and Illinois only lost one seat, and Rhode Island lost no seats. Meanwhile, Texas was expected to gain three seats, Florida two seats and Arizona one seat. Instead, Texas gained only two seats, Florida only one and Arizona none.
Was the Census Bureau count rigged? Was it manipulated by the Biden team to hand more seats to the Democrats and to get more money -- federal spending is often allocated based on population -- for the blue states?
The evidence is now only circumstantial, but when errors or revisions are almost all only in one direction, the alarm bells appropriately go off.
Here are some of the strange outcomes in the Census revisions just released:
No. 1: New York -- We've been tracking the annual population/migration changes between states since the last census in 2010. Over the past decade, New York LOST about 1.3 million residents on net to other states. (This does not include immigration, births and deaths.) Still, this is a population loss that is the equivalent of two, maybe three, lost congressional seats. But the final numbers ADDED approximately 860,000. That's roughly twice the population of Buffalo and Rochester -- combined. This is the state that has lost by far the largest population over the past decade.
No. 2: Many deep-blue states had 2020 census numbers significantly revised upward from their December estimates: Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont.
No. 3: Many red states had 2020 census numbers lower than their 2020 estimates: Arizona, North Carolina and South Carolina.
No. 4: Going back to the 2010 Census, the final head count in every state was within 0.4% of the original estimate, and 30 of them were within 0.2 percent. This time around, 19 states were more than 1 percent off, 7 were more than 2 percent off, NY was more than 3.8 percent off, and NJ was more than 4.5 percent off.
No. 5: Virtually every one of the large deviations from the estimates favored Democrats. Just five states in the 2020 census were within the same margin (0.41 percent) that all states were within from the 2010 census.
Maybe the 2010 estimates were abnormally accurate, or maybe the 2020 estimates were abnormally inaccurate. The Census Bureau needs to tell Congress why these revisions under former President Barack Obama were so much larger than normal and so weighted in one direction: toward the blue states.

Fact Check On Biden Tax Increase Claim
Reagan McCarthy
May 04, 2021
Rick Scott Fact Checks Biden on Tax Increase Claim
President Joe Biden claimed on Tuesday that no Americans making less than $400,000 annually will see a tax increase, despite the tax hikes written into his hefty spending plans.
"The reason I’m bothering to do this is I keep hearing in the press ‘Biden’s going to raise your taxes’ – anybody making less than $400,000 a year will not pay a single penny in taxes," the president said.
Biden’s own federal spending plans refute his claim. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) fact-checked the president on his assertion, reminding him of the tax increases that have already been proposed under his administration.
“In the just over 100 days that Joe Biden has been president, he’s proposed $6 TRILLION in new spending...Yet Biden refuses to address the basic question I and many Americans keep asking: ‘How do you plan to pay for all of this, Joe?’" Scott wrote in a statement. "Joe Biden has never met a tax increase he didn't like. But reckless spending and high taxes hurt the American people and destroy their opportunity at the American dream. Joe Biden needs to tell the truth: more tax increase plans are coming and they won't spare a single American family."
.@POTUS claimed taxes wouldn't rise for anyone making under $400K. 𝐖𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠. He’s already done it.

He claims tax hikes on U.S. biz & the rich will pay for his liberal wish list. 𝐖𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧.

Olympic Committee Bans ‘Black Lives Matter’
Olympic Committee Bans ‘Black Lives Matter’ Apparel At The Games
Nathan "The Bull" G.
May 4, 2021
The International Olympic Committee has decided that it will not allow any of its athletes to wear any clothing that sports the slogan “Black Lives Matter” during the Tokyo Olympic Games. The Committee has reiterated that it has plans to enforce “Rule 50,” which seeks to stop political or social justice protests of all kinds at the international athletic event to take place in just a few short weeks.
This past Tuesday, the Associated Press reported that the IOC’s ruling against “slogans” with any political or social justice meaning is “granular” this year and that the IOC has targetted and specifically banned apparel sporting the racial justice mantra, “Black Lives Matter.”
“The International Olympic Committee got very granular with what is not allowed. It said specifically that the slogan ‘Black Lives Matter’ will be banned from athlete apparel at the Summer Olympics,” the AP stated. “It’s part of the IOC’s long-standing ban on ‘demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda’ on the playing field, the medal stand or during the Games’ official ceremonies.”
The IOC instead plans to press the athletes to wear clothing with more “generic words,” like “peace,” “respect,” “solidarity,” “inclusion,” and “equality,” as per the release.
Back in April, the IOC released a ruling that it will be planning to enforce its Rule 50 and that athletes who raise a fist or “take a knee,” which are both popular forms of protest in the United States, will be facing strong repercussions.
Rule 50 states that “no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas.”
“The International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Wednesday announced that it will enforce its rule banning athletes from demonstrating at this summer’s Tokyo Olympics, noting that kneeling or raising a fist will bring swift punishment,” the Daily Wire stated. “In a report explaining its decision, the IOC said it conducted a survey of more than 3,500 international athletes across the globe over the last year and found that ‘a clear majority of athletes believe that it is not appropriate for athletes to demonstrate or express their views’ during the Games.”
The IOC has not stated any specific form of punishment and repercussions for any athletes who violate Rule 50 and states that it will be determining appropriate punishments on a case-by-case system. However, if the IOC does indeed punish any athletes for demonstrating, The World Players Association, an international union for all athletes, has stated that it will stand in defense of the accused.
“Any athlete sanctioned at the Tokyo Olympics will have the full backing of the World Players,” the director of the union stated to the AP.
Global Athlete also released a statement on the subject stating that it would “not allow outdated ‘sports rules’ to supersede your basic human rights.”
“We envision an Olympics where the athletes are the center of the show, more than the host country or the politics around it or the sponsors,” Global Athlete stated to the AP. “It is this huge spectacle where the athletes are an afterthought.”

Just 6% On Infrastructure Goes To Roads & Bridges
Just Under 6 Percent of Biden's Infrastructure Plan Goes to Roads and Bridges
By Meghan Roos
4/2/21
resident Joe Biden's new infrastructure and jobs plan has received criticism from some opponents since he unveiled the proposal earlier this week, partly because of the amount it would spend on improving roads and bridges.
According to a White House fact sheet breaking down the American Jobs Plan's areas of focus, the Biden administration proposes spending $115 billion to "modernize" bridges and roads that are "in most critical need of repair."
The fact sheet says that at least 173,000 miles along major U.S. highways and other heavily trafficked roads, as well as about 45,000 bridges, need repair. Under Biden's plan, the money set aside for roads and bridges will help repair an estimated 20,000 miles of roadways and 10,000 small bridges. The money will also help repair some of the country's larger bridges that are "most economically significant," the fact sheet says.
An additional $20 billion would go toward improving road safety through existing programs and a new Safe Streets for All initiative, which the fact sheet says will "fund state and local 'vision zero' plans and other improvements to reduce crashes and fatalities, especially for cyclists and pedestrians."
The $115 billion set aside for improving roads and bridges is just under 6 percent of the plan's $2 trillion total in spending and just under 7 percent when the additional $20 billion for investing in road safety programs is factored in. The $115 billion set aside for updating roads and bridges is about 18.5 percent of the $621 billion the plan devotes to transportation infrastructure.
That comparatively low percentage has received pushback from some Republicans, who have suggested that calling the American Jobs Plan an infrastructure bill allows it to work as a "Trojan horse" in Democrats' pursuit of progressive legislation.
"There would be bipartisan support for a serious, targeted infrastructure plan," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tweeted Wednesday. "Unfortunately, less than 6% of this massive White House proposal would go to roads and bridges. It would spend more on electric cars than on roads, bridges, ports, airports, and waterways combined."
An administration official pushed back against the criticisms on Friday, calling them "simply false" and pointing out that additional money is set aside in the bill for expanding and improving other areas of transportation.
"The president's Jobs Plan calls for over $600 billion for transportation and resilience investments alone," the administration official, who asked not to be identified, told Newsweek.
According to the White House's fact sheet, the bill also proposes spending $85 billion to improve existing public transit, $174 billion on electric vehicles, $25 billion to improve airports and an additional $17 billion to update waterways and ports that the fact sheet says are "essential to our nation's freight."
The administration official referenced a recent study published by Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce, which estimated that three-quarters of the money the American Jobs Plan proposes spending over the next eight years will go toward infrastructure projects. The study refers to the legislation as "good medicine" that Georgetown economists said could help the U.S. recover from the coronavirus pandemic. The study estimated the proposed legislation would create 15 million jobs over the next decade.
"This plan makes once-in-a-century investments that will strengthen our economy and allow us to compete with countries like China," the administration official said. "It's more than just roads and bridges. It's investments in manufacturing and R&D, it's bringing supply chains back to American shores, and countless other measures that will create good-paying jobs and make our economy more resilient."

Just 6% On Infrastructure Goes To Roads & Bridges
Just Under 6 Percent of Biden's Infrastructure Plan Goes to Roads and Bridges
By Meghan Roos
4/2/21
resident Joe Biden's new infrastructure and jobs plan has received criticism from some opponents since he unveiled the proposal earlier this week, partly because of the amount it would spend on improving roads and bridges.
According to a White House fact sheet breaking down the American Jobs Plan's areas of focus, the Biden administration proposes spending $115 billion to "modernize" bridges and roads that are "in most critical need of repair."
The fact sheet says that at least 173,000 miles along major U.S. highways and other heavily trafficked roads, as well as about 45,000 bridges, need repair. Under Biden's plan, the money set aside for roads and bridges will help repair an estimated 20,000 miles of roadways and 10,000 small bridges. The money will also help repair some of the country's larger bridges that are "most economically significant," the fact sheet says.
An additional $20 billion would go toward improving road safety through existing programs and a new Safe Streets for All initiative, which the fact sheet says will "fund state and local 'vision zero' plans and other improvements to reduce crashes and fatalities, especially for cyclists and pedestrians."
The $115 billion set aside for improving roads and bridges is just under 6 percent of the plan's $2 trillion total in spending and just under 7 percent when the additional $20 billion for investing in road safety programs is factored in.

Biden's Bullchitt Infrastructure Plan
Biden's Environmentally Friendly Infrastructure Plan Won't Help Infrastructure or the Environment

The Biden administration has made the fight against climate change a central part of its $2 trillion infrastructure plan. This legislation, if it ever sees the light of day, would shovel more than $100 billion of subsidies toward boosting the market for electric vehicles, as well as updating the country's electric grid to make it allegedly more resilient to climate disasters.
All of these "investments" sound well and good on paper, but if you genuinely care about the environment, don't hold your breath for any real progress. For one thing, Biden's plan is mostly a giant handout to corporations that are already heavily investing in infrastructure. It's also a gift to unions, most of which will do nothing to encourage the type of activities the president claims to support, and they'll make the cost of producing infrastructure more expensive, so we'll probably see less of it.
Consider the way the plan is currently funded with taxes on income. As Chris Edwards of the Cato Institute notes, that's pretty much the exact opposite of the way a green plan should be funded. He writes, "Biden's plan relies on income taxes to pay for infrastructure subsidies, and that approach does not moderate consumption or reduce resource use." What the president should do instead, Edwards suggests, is allow states to "fund infrastructure ... through user charges that restrain consumer demand."
Those higher-income taxes on top of the many costly labor and environmental mandates in the bill would also raise production costs in the United States. That would shift production of many products to other countries that have more competitive tax rates and lower production costs -- but also, oftentimes, questionable environmental standards. This was nicely highlighted in a recent Kite & Key Media video that explains how our already burdensome labor, health and climate regulations make it impossible to open a mine or to operate one profitably in the United States. This matters because the greener our lives, the more we need minerals like graphite, lithium and manganese.
The good news is that regulatory reform of, among other things, the National Environmental Protection Act of 1970 has bipartisan support. Scholars on both sides of the aisle agree that these reviews delay and drive up the costs of infrastructure projects while rarely delivering on the promise of environmental protection. Less expensive infrastructure projects mean more investment at home and more resources to innovate toward a greener future.
The Biden administration's commitment to the protectionist tariffs of the Trump administration is also counterproductive for the environment. The reason free trade is good for the environment is simple: Countries will only produce things at what economists call a "comparative advantage." This is just a fancy way to say that, with free trade, each good is produced with as few resources as possible. That's a win for the environment. It's time to make trade as free as possible by removing all the Trump tariffs and more -- and signing as many free-trade agreements as are politically feasible.
While the administration is at it, it should end the Merchant Marine Act of 1920. Also known as the Jones Act, this cronyism is a protectionist provision that restricts the waterborne transport of cargo within the United States to vessels that are U.S.-flagged, U.S.-crewed, U.S.-owned and U.S.-built. This act's main effect is to increase the cost of waterborne transportation within the United States, which in turn encourages the use of alternative forms of transportation such as trucks and rail -- modes of freight transportation that are worse for the environment than shipping on water. The Jones Act also encourages the use of older and, hence, less fuel-efficient vessels.
The administration could also signal that it's serious about the environment by ending all federal subsidies to oil and gas, both at home and abroad. That includes the U.S. Export-Import Bank's financing of oil and gas companies abroad to buy goods from American companies, which represents 25% of the bank's portfolio.
But there's an even larger point: Ultimately, we know that the best green policy is the prosperity made possible only by economic growth. The wealthier we are, the more we can afford to attend to the environment. Unfortunately, the Biden administration's preferred path of more taxes and more politically motivated spending and regulations will not just make us financially poorer; it also comes at a high cost for the environment.

Parents need to remove kids from schools that preach this racist and hate filled chitt.
I still think Ben Carson would make a great president:
I doubt anything will happen, harris was put in charge for reason, they know she won't do anything.
Blacks want a war, a war they cannot win.
ERR!!!!
