For those suffering from amnesia: just four months ago, the Islamic regime in Iran slaughtered over 40,000 people in only two days, for the sole ‘crime’ of protesting for freedom.
Damning footage. No surprise that there is a push in some quarters for a person like her to be paid compensation for abuse at the hands of the state. There are often multiple sides to a story, but one gets more airtime than the other.
It happened on J6
Peaceful protester Victoria Charity White @Vis4Victorious a mother and Patiot found herself crushed in "The Tunnel" between the crowd and the corrupt violent Capitol police. Beaten over 40 times with batons and even bare fists by 4 evil cops.
This was after Victoria broke up Antifa activists breaking windows.
Another J6er Bunky Crawford tried to stop the police from killing Victoria like they did to Roseanne Boyland.
Luckily she made it out alive, unlike Roseanne only to be arrested and charged.
Bunky Crawford was charged with 10 felonies, including assault for blocking cops punches and batons with his face.
God Bless the J6ers.
This is a great exchange and case study showing why worthwhile journalism is near extinction. A major, known outlet actually published the drivel but does not publish the meaningful stories.
Sheryl. Your article exemplifies the biased reporting we have come to expect from you and @nytimes. It was unfair, inimical, and inaccurate. All one needs to refute your argument is to glance at my publicly available calendar and to review my unprecedented list of accomplishments on a wide range of issues, all of which I drove. You evidently never undertook these foundational due diligences. Why let facts obscure a good story?
You fault me for missing a couple of monthly counselor meetings. However, I meet one-on-one with my counselors every day to decide policy and strategy. We schedule the monthly meetings to give the divisions a chance to keep each other informed about HHS-wide policies with which I’m already intimately familiar. Had you read my calendar, you would have seen that I have back-to-back meetings all day, every day, with both career and political staff, with my counselors and with outside stakeholders, interspersed with press conferences and other policy announcements.
I am knowledgeable and active on every issue in every division of my department, and I always make the final decisions. I meet with the principals at FDA, NIH, CDC, and my senior counselor every morning, something, I’m told, is unprecedented in HHS history. I try to get out of the office between 4:30 and 6:00 PM, so that I can spend three hours, in quiet, responding to emails. I normally work until 11 PM every night, mostly on phone calls to staff.
In order to prove your preconceived case for my disengagement, you quote anonymous employees, some of whom I fired or who quit to avoid being fired. You also deceptively quote HHS employees without identifying whether they were among those I fired, thereby depriving your readers of the opportunity to make an independent judgment about their credibility.
I came into this job to change the culture of a broken agency that has presided over the worst decline in public health in American history. Of course I fired people—lots of them! It's an easy task for even the laziest journalist, to comb that flotsam and jetsam for malevolence toward the Trump administration. And of course, this species of journalist will always be able to find disgruntled individuals among the 70,000 employees of the Department from whom to cherry pick "facts" to flesh out a preordained hit piece. All that is required for this brand of journalism is the ethical elasticity that you seem to have in spades. You had a preconceived thesis, and you set out to prove it. This is a widely accepted technique in journalism today, but I grew up in an era when it would not have been tolerated by the New York Times.
Ultimately, God puts us all on this earth to search for existential truths. I've tried to instill this mission at HHS by implementing gold standard research to end the regime of politicized science that COVID exposed to the American public. There was a time that journalists were proud to be the fearless and uncompromising champions of truth. Standards have devolved, and journalism is dead. The Times now employs propagandists. Your capitulation to partisanship further compounds your journalistic challenges; since we all are aware of your predictable bias, we at HHS are unwilling to talk to you about the topics that are important. The fact that you have minimal access to decision makers leaves you covering trivia and relying on your own capacity for invention.
Btw. When I took this job, the building was empty. About 90% of the employees were not coming to work. I changed that, but your newspaper never covers my reforms. Nor did you cover the fact that my predecessor almost never showed up for work here during his four years in office. When we came in, there were still artifacts from the first Trump administration in many of our office drawers because no one showed up for work during the Biden years. Just as Rochelle Walensky spent her entire term as CDC Director in Cambridge, Xavier Becerra reportedly spent most of his term as HHS Secretary in California. (I live in California, but I’ve only been there once in fifteen months).
His only notable accomplishments here were losing 300,000 children, referred to HHS for custody and care, to human traffickers and drug runners, encouraging transgender surgeries, and disabling the entire program-integrity apparatus, allowing hundreds of billions of dollars of theft from my agency. I have set out to find the children Becerra lost. He is now the front-runner for the governor of California. These are not invented stories; they are genuine scandals that the Times will never cover, presumably, because the malefactors are Democrats.
Finally, you criticize me for spending time with the Indian tribes in Alaska. I consider that part of my job. I run the Indian Health Services, and I’ve had unprecedented success in transforming IHS from a backwater to a top priority for this department. I’ve made more trips to Indian country and to Indian health clinics and hospitals than any HHS secretary in history, and I’ve brought Indians into high positions on the sixth floor for the first time in agency history. This is another success story that the Times will never cover.
@RepMaryMiller What is the end game here given Congress does not have arrest powers? Are the hearings just performative?
Can you shut ActBlue down? Jail the leaders and many employees? Confiscate the proceeds of money launder8ng and fraud?
It seems the SPLC is what they accuse others of - a hate group. They hate Christians and people who disagree with their ideology or favored political views.
Nuts. Designed to allow cheating? It is hard to know motive. But this last race had a vote pattern that is beyond belief and was.surely manipulated to add tens of thousands of votes to the candidate preferred for second place.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Governor candidate Steve Hilton just revealed the stunning reality of California fraud: They ALLOW mail-in ballots to BACKDATE by HAND so they can be counted late, and not invalid
"It's NOT just the postmark. YOU CAN HAND-WRITE THE DATE!"
"Just to be really clear: you can BACKDATE YOUR BALLOT."
"BY HAND."
"And it will be counted."
"That's how insane this system is."
This is MADNESS!! 🤯
BILLY BUSH: "That is OUTRAGEOUS."
@hotmicsbilly
@ItsRobbAllen Don't give up looking for fellowship. You will find godly people to encourage, strengthen and challenge you (in a Biblically sound way). God always wants us connected with other members of his body, whether they belong to some formalized "church" structure or not.
Welker seems to think that when she says: "To be clear, there is no evidence to support that" then it must be true. I saw Senate hearings uncovering that hundreds of FPI sources were at J6 and first-person testimony from many convicted of J6 wrongdoing with evidence they were pressured to confess or face very harsh treatment. But because Welker, either does not like the evidence or is ignorant of it, she wants us to believe her that it does not exist? I'm not in that camp. I take all press reports with high levels of suspicion because too many - maybe even the majority - of journalists have sadly detached themselves from truth-telling.
This was brilliant. Trevor Phillips played a clip of what Keir Starmer said about George Floyd and displayed how Labour MPs expressed their “anger”.
David Lammy said it was fine because they were in opposition.
But not fine for Nigel Farage to use the term “rage” like they did.
This is really pulling the mask off. The previous narrative was "late ballots always lean toward Democrats, it's just demographics"
But now we are seeing that late ballots always lean toward the specific Democrat who needs more ballots.
That is not possible.
🚨 FBI Director Kash Patel Reveals That Over 3 Million Child Predator Accounts on the Tor Network Were Taken Down, Plus a Nearly 100% Surge in Child Predator Arrests ☠️
“7,200 kids that we found that got to go home. 3,400 child predators and traffickers arrested. That’s up 99% from the best year Biden ever had. That means kids are being protected at levels that are simply unheard of!”
“And that means this FBI, here’s another thing. We didn’t just do the physical work on the streets. We went to the cyber community, and we dismantled 3 million pedophile accounts off the Tor network where these predators prey on our children and think they can hide from the FBI.”
“They can’t. We are going to the ends of the earth and the cyber realm to make sure our most precious commodity, kids, are safeguarded.”
“And the numbers speak for themselves because the FBI is putting kids first.”
@FBIDirectorKash@kayleighmcenany
It sure stinks like this - "how many more votes do we forecast we need to have to move nr 3 up to nr 2? OK we will update the nr of votes we claim to still need to count while you all fetch the extra ballots marked almost only for nr 3. Slow and steady now."
Last night, the Los Angeles mayoral race had in 65.8% of expected votes, with 291,000 outstanding.
Today, they have 64.3% of expected votes in (less than yesterday) with an estimated 311,000 outstanding (more than yesterday).
Are they just going to keep increasing the number of remaining votes depending on how many they need to push Nithya Raman past Spencer Pratt?
@EdwardJDavey Rather reduce murders and rapes. What has your government enquiry into the past and ongoing mass rape and exploitation of young British girls found so far? Still nothing on that front?!
