Left-wing climate activist Greta Thunberg decried the United States&#8217; decision to leave the Paris Climate Accord despite leading the world&#8217;s in CO2 emissions reductions during a speech she gave on Tuesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
&#8220;One year ago I came to Davos and told you that our house is on fire,&#8221; Thunberg said. &#8220;I said I wanted you to panic. I’ve been warned that telling people to panic about the climate crisis is a very dangerous thing to do. But don’t worry. It’s fine. Trust me, I’ve done this before and I can assure you it doesn’t lead to anything.&#8221;
Thunberg let the audience know that her demands were just that, demands, and that she was not asking world leaders to change, she was &#8220;telling&#8221; them to.
&#8220;And, for the record, when we children tell you to panic we’re not telling you to go on like before. We’re not telling you to rely on technologies that don’t even exist today at scale and that science says perhaps never will,&#8221; Thunberg said. &#8220;We are not telling you to keep talking about reaching &#8216;net zero emissions&#8217; or &#8216;carbon neutrality&#8217; by cheating and fiddling around with numbers. We are not telling you to &#8216;offset your emissions&#8217; by just paying someone else to plant trees in places like Africa while at the same time forests like the Amazon are being slaughtered at an infinitely higher rate.&#8221;
&#8220;Planting trees is good, of course, but it’s nowhere near enough of what is needed and it cannot replace real mitigation and rewilding nature,&#8221; Thunberg continued. &#8220;Let’s be clear. We don’t need a &#8216;low carbon economy.&#8217; We don’t need to &#8216;lower emissions.&#8217; Our emissions have to stop if we are to have a chance to stay below the 1.5-degree target. And, until we have the technologies that at scale can put our emissions to minus, then we must forget about net zero. We need real zero.&#8221;
Thunberg later hit the Trump administration for leaving the Paris Climate Accord, despite the <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2017/10/24/yes-the-u-s-leads-all-countries-in-reducing-carbon-emissions/">fact</a> that the U.S. is leading the world in CO2 emissions reductions while numerous other countries are failing to even meet their goals.
&#8220;The fact that the U.S.A. is leaving the Paris accord seems to outrage and worry everyone, and it should,&#8221; Thunberg said. &#8220;But the fact that we’re all about to fail the commitments you signed up for in the Paris Agreement doesn’t seem to bother the people in power even the least.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>One year ago I came to Davos and told you that our house is on fire. I said I wanted you to panic. I’ve been warned that telling people to panic about the climate crisis is a very dangerous thing to do. But don’t worry. It’s fine. Trust me, I’ve done this before and I can assure you it doesn’t lead to anything.
And, for the record, when we children tell you to panic we’re not telling you to go on like before. We’re not telling you to rely on technologies that don’t even exist today at scale and that science says perhaps never will.
We are not telling you to keep talking about reaching “net zero emissions” or “carbon neutrality” by cheating and fiddling around with numbers. We are not telling you to “offset your emissions” by just paying someone else to plant trees in places like Africa while at the same time forests like the Amazon are being slaughtered at an infinitely higher rate.
Planting trees is good, of course, but it’s nowhere near enough of what is needed and it cannot replace real mitigation and rewilding nature.
Let’s be clear. We don’t need a “low carbon economy.” We don’t need to “lower emissions.” Our emissions have to stop if we are to have a chance to stay below the 1.5-degree target. And, until we have the technologies that at scale can put our emissions to minus, then we must forget about net zero. We need real zero.
Because distant net zero emission targets will mean absolutely nothing if we just continue to ignore the carbon dioxide budget — that applies for today, not distant future dates. If high emissions continue like now even for a few years, that remaining budget will soon be completely used up.
The fact that the U.S.A. is leaving the Paris accord seems to outrage and worry everyone, and it should. But the fact that we’re all about to fail the commitments you signed up for in the Paris Agreement doesn’t seem to bother the people in power even the least.
Any plan or policy of yours that doesn’t include radical emission cuts at the source, starting today, is completely insufficient for meeting the 1.5-degree or well-below-2-degrees commitments of the Paris Agreement.
And again, this is not about right or left. We couldn’t care less about your party politics. From a sustainability perspective, the right, the left as well as the center have all failed. No political ideology or economic structure has been able to tackle the climate and environmental emergency and create a cohesive and sustainable world. Because that world, in case you haven’t noticed, is currently on fire.
You say children shouldn’t worry. You say: “Just leave this to us. We will fix this, we promise we won’t let you down. Don’t be so pessimistic.”
And then, nothing. Silence. Or something worse than silence. Empty words and promises which give the impression that sufficient action is being taken.
All the solutions are obviously not available within today’s societies. Nor do we have the time to wait for new technological solutions to become available to start drastically reducing our emissions. So, of course the transition isn’t going to be easy. It will be hard. And unless we start facing this now together, with all cards on the table, we won’t be able to solve this in time.
In the days running up to the 50th anniversary of the World Economic Forum, I joined a group of climate activists demanding that you, the world’s most powerful and influential business and political leaders, begin to take the action needed.
We demand at this year’s World Economic Forum, participants from all companies, banks, institutions and governments:
Immediately halt all investments in fossil fuel exploration and extraction.
Immediately end all fossil fuel subsidies.
And immediately and completely divest from fossil fuels.
We don’t want these things done by 2050, 2030 or even 2021. We want this done now.
It may seem like we’re asking for a lot. And you will of course say that we are naïve. But this is just the very minimum amount of effort that is needed to start the rapid sustainable transition.
So either you do this or you’re going to have to explain to your children why you are giving up on the 1.5-degree target. Giving up without even trying. Well I’m here to tell you that, unlike you, my generation will not give up without a fight.
The facts are clear, but they’re still too uncomfortable for you to address. You just leave it because you think it’s too depressing and people will give up. But people will not give up. You are the ones who are giving up.
Last week I met with Polish coal miners who lost their jobs because their mine was closed. And even they had not given up. On the contrary, they seem to understand the fact that we need to change more than you do.
I wonder, what will you tell your children was the reason to fail and leave them facing a climate chaos that you knowingly brought upon them? That it seemed so bad for the economy that we decided to resign the idea of securing future living conditions without even trying?
Our house is still on fire. Your inaction is fueling the flames by the hour. And we are telling you to act as if you loved your children above all else.
Thank you.</blockquote>

Opening Day Of The World Economic Forum (WEF) 2020

Greta Attacks U.S., Admonishes World Leaders: ‘I Said I Wanted You To Panic’

Virginia Democrats began to ram through their gun control agenda on Tuesday after tens of thousands of peaceful pro-Second Amendment activists protested in the state&#8217;s capital at the start of the week.
&#8220;The day after a massive gathering of gun-rights activists at the Virginia Capitol, the state Senate on Tuesday advanced legislation that would allow authorities to take guns away from people deemed dangerous to themselves or others,&#8221; the Associated Press <a href="https://wtop.com/virginia/2020/01/virginia-senate-advances-red-flag-gun-law-despite-rally/">reported</a>, adding that Virginia Democrats also killed GOP-backed measures including &#8220;a bill to allow people to carry concealed handguns without a permit and to repeal a limit on carrying weapons in churches and other places of worship.&#8221;
The move by Virginia Democrats comes a day after 22,000 protesters flooded the streets of Richmond to protest Democrats&#8217; extreme anti-freedom agenda, which has included proposals for confiscating legally owned firearms from law-abiding citizens.
“The grassroots resistance to Virginia Democrats’ extreme anti-Second Amendment agenda has exploded as nearly 90% of the counties in the state have declared themselves to be sanctuary cities in response to the Democrats’ anti-freedom agenda,” The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/resistance-to-virginia-democrats-extreme-anti-second-amendment-agenda-surges-to-new-heights">reported</a> in November. “More than 100 cities, towns, and counties have passed resolutions in preparation for Democrats taking over the state who had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/virginia-democrats-filing-proposals-to-begin-confiscation-of-lawfully-owned-firearms-second-amendment-reporter-says">indicated</a> a desire to confiscate semi-automatic firearms from law-abiding citizens.”
The reaction to Democrats&#8217; agenda in the state has been so intense that The Washington Examiner <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/civil-war-ii-gun-control-could-push-virginia-counties-to-join-west-virginia">reported</a> on Tuesday that lawmakers in West Virginia are now considering accepting counties that want to leave Virginia.
<blockquote>West Virginia lawmakers are scrambling to let rural Virginia counties join the Mountain State amid conservative voter anger with the new Democratic majority in Richmond and its push for gun control and other liberal initiatives.
In a building fight that echoes the Civil War-era split of the Old Dominion that created West Virginia in 1863, 40 of 100 West Virginia House delegates have signed on to legislation that would accept revolting Virginia counties and towns.</blockquote>
West Virginia Del. Gary Howell told The Examiner that the idea initially started out as a long shot but “has turned into a real thing.”
Howell introduced <a href="http://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Status/bills_text.cfm?billdoc=hcr8+intr.htm&amp;yr=2020&amp;sesstype=rs&amp;i=8&amp;houseorig=h&amp;billtype=cr&amp;fbclid=IwAR0r2XHdXE1bcic8oO2NAL2481Bcne2cwRZG0Kgg5qhVr9SzVEXDoiM5jD4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HCR 8</a> to the West Virginia legislature, which states in part:
<blockquote>These tensions have been compounded by a perception of contempt on the part of the government at Richmond for the differences in certain fundamental political and societal principles which prevail between the varied counties and cities of that Commonwealth.
In the latest, and most evident, in this string of grievances, the government at Richmond now seeks to place intolerable restraints upon the rights guaranteed under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution to the citizens of that Commonwealth.
&#8230;
In a spirit of conciliation, the legislature of West Virginia hereby extends an invitation to our fellow Virginians who wish to do so, to join us in our noble experiment of 156 years of separation from the government at Richmond; and, we extend an invitation to any constituent county or city of the Commonwealth of Virginia to be admitted to the body politic of the state of West Virginia.</blockquote>
President Donald Trump commented on Monday&#8217;s pro-Second Amendment rally, writing on Twitter: &#8220;I will NEVER allow our great Second Amendment to go unprotected, not even a little bit!&#8221;

Virginia Democrats Give Finger To Gun Activists, Advance Gun Control. West Virginia Looks At Taking Counties From Virginia, Report Says.

President Donald Trump slammed far-left climate activists on Tuesday while speaking at the Davos World Economic Forum where he called on the world to ignore their extreme apocalyptic predictions.
&#8220;This is not a time for pessimism; this is a time for optimism,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Fear and doubt is not a good thought process because this is a time for tremendous hope and joy and optimism and action.&#8221;
&#8220;But to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow, we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;They are the heirs of yesterday’s foolish fortune-tellers — and I have them and you have them, and we all have them, and they want to see us do badly, but we don’t let that happen.  They predicted an overpopulation crisis in the 1960s, mass starvation in the ’70s, and an end of oil in the 1990s.  These alarmists always demand the same thing: absolute power to dominate, transform, and control every aspect of our lives.&#8221;
&#8220;We will never let radical socialists destroy our economy, wreck our country, or eradicate our liberty. America will always be the proud, strong, and unyielding bastion of freedom,&#8221; Trump concluded in his remarks going after left-wing activists. &#8220;In America, we understand what the pessimists refuse to see: that a growing and vibrant market economy focused on the future lifts the human spirit and excites creativity strong enough to overcome any challenge — any challenge by far.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>To protect our security and our economy, we are also boldly embracing American energy independence.  The United States is now, by far, the number-one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world, by far.  It’s not even close.
While many European countries struggle with crippling energy costs, the American energy revolution is saving American families $2,500 every year in lowering electric bills and numbers that people said couldn’t happen, and also, very importantly, prices at the pump.
We’ve been so successful that the United States no longer needs to import energy from hostile nations.  With an abundance of American natural gas now available, our European allies no longer have to be vulnerable to unfriendly energy suppliers either.  We urge our friends in Europe to use America’s vast supply and achieve true energy security.
With U.S. companies and researchers leading the way, we are on the threshold of virtually unlimited reserves of energy, including from traditional fuels, LNG, clean coal, next-generation nuclear power, and gas hydrate technologies.
At the same time, I’m proud to report the United States has among the cleanest air and drinking water on Earth — and we’re going to keep it that way.  And we just came out with a report that, at this moment, it’s the cleanest it’s been in the last 40 years.  We’re committed to conserving the majesty of God’s creation and the natural beauty of our world.
Today, I’m pleased to announce the United States will join One Trillion Trees Initiative being launched here at the World Economic Forum.  One Trillion Trees.  (Applause.)  And in doing so, we will continue to show strong leadership in restoring, growing, and better managing our trees and our forests.
This is not a time for pessimism; this is a time for optimism.  Fear and doubt is not a good thought process because this is a time for tremendous hope and joy and optimism and action.
But to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow, we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse.  They are the heirs of yesterday’s foolish fortune-tellers — and I have them and you have them, and we all have them, and they want to see us do badly, but we don’t let that happen.  They predicted an overpopulation crisis in the 1960s, mass starvation in the ’70s, and an end of oil in the 1990s.  These alarmists always demand the same thing: absolute power to dominate, transform, and control every aspect of our lives.
We will never let radical socialists destroy our economy, wreck our country, or eradicate our liberty.  America will always be the proud, strong, and unyielding bastion of freedom.
In America, we understand what the pessimists refuse to see: that a growing and vibrant market economy focused on the future lifts the human spirit and excites creativity strong enough to overcome any challenge — any challenge by far.
The great scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century — from penicillin, to high-yield wheat, to modern transportation, and breakthrough vaccines — have lifted living standards and saved billions of lives around the world.  And we’re continuing to work on things that you’ll be hearing about in the near future that, even today, sitting here right now, you wouldn’t believe it’s possible that we have found the answers.  You’ll be hearing about it.  But we have found answers to things that people said would not be possible — certainly not in a very short period of time.
But the wonders of the last century will pale in comparison to what today’s young innovators will achieve because they are doing things that nobody thought even feasible to begin.  We continue to embrace technology, not to shun it.  When people are free to innovate, millions will live longer, happier, healthier lives.
For three years now, America has shown the world that the path to a prosperous future begins with putting workers first, choosing growth, and freeing entrepreneurs to bring their dreams to life.
For anyone who doubts what is possible in the future, we need only look at the towering achievements of the past.  Only a few hundred miles from here are some of the great cities of Europe — teeming centers of commerce and culture.  Each of them is full of reminders of what human drive and imagination can achieve.
Centuries ago, at the time of the Renaissance, skilled craftsmen and laborers looked upwards and built the structures that still touch the human heart.  To this day, some of the greatest structures in the world have been built hundreds of years ago.
In Italy, the citizens once started construction on what would be a 140-year project, the Duomo of Florence.  An incredible, incredible place.  While the technology did not yet exist to complete their design, city fathers forged ahead anyway, certain that they would figure it out someday.  These citizens of Florence did not accept limits to their high aspirations and so the Great Dome was finally built.
In France, another century-long project continues to hold such a grip on our hearts and our souls that, even 800 years after its construction, when the Cathedral of Notre Dame was engulfed in flames last year — such a sad sight to watch; unbelievable site, especially for those of us that considered it one of the great, great monuments and representing so many different things — the whole world grieved.
Though her sanctuary now stands scorched and charred — and a sight that’s hard to believe; when you got used to it, to look at it now, hard to believe.  But we know that Notre Dame will be restored — will be restored magnificently.  The great bells will once again ring out for all to hear, giving glory to God and filling millions with wonder and awe.
The Cathedrals of Europe teach us to pursue big dreams, daring adventures, and unbridled ambitions.  They urge us to consider not only what we build today, but what we will endure long after we are gone.  They testify to the power of ordinary people to realize extraordinary achievements when united by a grand and noble purpose.
So, together, we must go forward with confidence, determination, and vision.  We must not be timid, or meek, or fearful — but instead we must boldly seize the day and embrace the moment.  We have so many great leaders in this room — not only business leaders, but leaders of nations — and some are doing such a fantastic job.  We work together very closely.  We will draw strength from the glories of the past, and we will make greatness our common mission for the future.
Together, we will make our nations stronger, our countries safer, our culture richer, our people freer, and the world more beautiful than ever before.
Above all else, we will forever be loyal to our workers, our citizens, and our families — the men and women who are the backbone of our economies, the heart of our communities, and the soul of our countries.  Let us bring light to their lives one by one and empower them to light up the world.
Thank you very much.  God bless you.  God bless your countries.  And God bless America.  Thank you.  Thank you very much.</blockquote>

U.S. President Trump At The World Economic Forum (WEF)

Trump Hammers Far-Left Climate Activists In Speech, Highlights Their Failed Predictions

James O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s Project Veritas released new bombshell undercover footage on Tuesday that appeared to show another paid member of 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidate Bernie Sanders&#8217; campaign promoting violence against political opponents and against successful people.
The undercover video produced by Project Veritas allegedly shows Martin Weissgerber, South Carolina field organizer for the campaign, talking about wanting to kill wealthy people and wanting to throw Republicans into camps.
Qutoes from the video provided by Project Veritas include:
<ul>
<li>“Let’s force them (billionaires) to build roads … rebuild our roads, rebuild our dams, rebuild our bridges. Let’s force them to do that.”</li>
<li>“Well, the gulags were founded as re-education camps. … What will help is when we send all the Republicans to the re-education camps.”</li>
<li>“I’m already on Twitter, following numerous groups around the country that are ready to organize yellow vest protests. I’m ready … I’m ready to start tearing bricks up and start fighting. … I’m not — no cap, bro. I’ll straight up — I’ll straight up get armed, I want to learn how to shoot, and go train. I’m ready for the f***ing revolution, bro. … I’m telling you. Guillotine the rich.”</li>
<li>“I think I was radicalized from the day; first day I was born … my dad, is a Marxist. Like, straight-up from Belgium … he took part in Paris &#8217;68 and all that, which is really cool. … I’ve always made it, I’ve always been unapologetic about it since I was younger, I always said, you know I’m a Communist … in my house, we had, you know Das Kapital, Engels, and Marx and all that sh*t. … I’m a Communist that believes in direct democracy, direct communes on everything. Pretty much, anarcho-syndicalism. Unions everything. I hope, but I don’t know how effective that is in addressing climate change, for instance.”</li>
<li>“Oh, yeah. My dad is real; my mom is, but my mom is really left as well. But she can’t make her views known, because she works for WBUR, which is NPR, so she’s more held back. But you know … But then I went, I started studying it. That’s what I studied in college, I studied Russian his–., Soviet history … I became the resident Marxist. … But, yeah, I’m all about the complete seizure of the means of production, nationalizing everything.”</li>
<li>“I only learned this sh*t in college when I started studying the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was not horrible … I mean, for women’s rights, the Soviet Union — I think — the most progressive place to date in the world.”</li>
<li>“The first gulag that was opened; have you heard about Belomorkanal? They dug a canal; the plan was, in 1922, I think, to dig a Canal from the White Sea all the way to Saint Petersburg &#8230; a long way, if you look on a map … and, the whole point — it was going to be called the Belomorkanal, and I read — I spent a whole semester actually studying primary accounts from the Belomorkanal. The whole point of the Belomorkanal, there were no machines allowed. They forced the people to dig with shovels and hoe the whole canal, right? You should see the people writing about their time at the Belomorkanal. There’s this one guy, he was a thief from Georgia who had been captured. He was sent to the Belomorkanal to work and in his writing, like ‘I reject all thievery, I reject that past life.’ He said, capitalism made me into this thief, because when there’s poor people, there’s going to be crime. He said, ‘I went to the Belomorkanal and I worked.’ He became a shock worker, which is what they call the leading workers, people who always met the quota and exceeded the quota … and, like people came from America to work at the Belomorkanal for the Soviet project, the communist project. It was a beautiful thing.”</li>
<li>“Leave it to the Soviets to make the most badass f***ing, most effective gun in the world … AK-47 &#8230; the destroyer of imperialism and coloniali[sm] … that’s why I want to get it [AK-47] tattooed on me.”</li>
<li>“So, do we just cease — do we just dissolve the Senate, House of Representatives, the judicial branch, and have something Bernie Sanders and a cabinet of people, make all decisions for the climate? I mean, I’m serious.”</li>
</ul>
The stunning footage comes a week after Project Veritas released footage of Sanders campaign Iowa field organizer Kyle Jurek allegedly making numerous <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bernie-campaign-staff-bernies-a-legit-socialist-masquerading-as-a-democratic-socialist">inflammatory</a> statements, including <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bernie-campaign-staff-people-who-push-back-on-revolution-should-expect-a-violent-response">promoting violence</a> against <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bernie-staff-free-education-about-indoctrinating-people-gulags-not-bad-cities-burn-if-trump-wins">political opponents</a>.

Democratic Presidential Candidates Attend MLK Rally At South Carolina Capitol Dome

Another Bernie Staffer Allegedly Promotes Violence: Kill The Rich, Put Republicans In Camps

2020 Election

Bernie Sanders

James O'Keefe

Project Veritas

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) will, in fact, charter a private plane this week to return to the campaign trail, jetting back and forth to Iowa from Washington, D.C., where he&#8217;s attending President Donald Trump&#8217;s Senate impeachment trial.
All Senators are required to be present for the trial, which may take weeks, pulling several of the 2020 Democratic presidential contenders off the campaign trail, just as the primary race is heating up. The Iowa Caucuses, the first contest of the 2020 presidential campaign season, takes place on February 3rd. New Hampshire goes to the polls on February 11th.
Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) will have to do double time, sitting in session in the Senate from 1pm until midnight or 1am six days a week to hear arguments and discussion, and conducting a traditional presidential campaign in whatever spare time they have left.
Warren and Klobuchar will likely stay in D.C. and send surrogates out into the field, or try to attend events by video conference during breaks in the Senate trial. The pair don&#8217;t have enough cash on hand to travel back and forth from Washington, D.C., to Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.
Sanders, however, does. According to a report from the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/sanders-chartering-private-jet-to-wednesday-campaign-rally">Washington Examiner&#8217;s Joe Simonson</a>, Sanders&#8217; campaign will charter a private plane to whisk Bernie from Washington to Cedar Falls, Iowa, on Wednesday so that he can attend a campaign rally in person.
&#8220;The Sanders campaign is not comfortable with disclosing its candidate&#8217;s new form of transportation, worried about the optics of flying private as a left-wing populist, according to people close to the campaign,&#8221; Simonson says. &#8220;Instead, the campaign has taken an official &#8216;no comment&#8217; position when receiving inquiries.&#8221;
Word of possible private jet plans bubbled to the surface earlier this month <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-bernie-sanders-will-use-private-jets-to-ferry-him-out-to-campaign-events-during-senate-impeachment-trial">in a report from NBC News</a>.
“Sanders’ war chest, including his field-leading $34.5 million haul in the last quarter of 2019, allows him flexibility that other contenders can’t match — including the use of private jets to ferry him back and forth for late rallies in early states,” the outlet reported back on January 8th.
At the time, Sanders staffers were fairly open about the candidate&#8217;s plan to keep up his breakneck pace of campaign events.
“They’re not going to be meeting at night [for the trial], so we can obviously fly from D.C. to states and hold events in the evening and fly back, you know, so he can be back in the morning to do his work in the Senate,” one source told the network. “He’s an energetic candidate. He has a very vigorous schedule, and, you know, he can do that.”
It turns out they will be meeting at night, per Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell&#8217;s (R-KY) strict new rules, but there will be breaks, nights off, and morning&#8217;s free while Chief Justice John Roberts, who is presiding over the Senate trial, does his regular job in the Supreme Court.
Despite being an ardent socialist, Sanders, who has a net worth of more than a million and owns three homes, is familiar with the concept of private air travel, even though the environmentally conscious Vermont Senator must recognize that private planes are a significant contributor to climate change. When the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign was courting Sanders&#8217; support in 2016, Sanders, they said, demanded to be ferried to Clinton&#8217;s events aboard a private jet.
&#8220;I’m not shocked that while thousands of volunteers braved the heat and cold to knock on doors until their fingers bled in a desperate effort to stop Donald Trump, his Royal Majesty King Bernie Sanders would only deign to leave his plush D.C. office or his brand new second home on the lake if he was flown around on a cushy private jet like a billionaire master of the universe,” one particularly bitter Clinton aid said at the time.
Sanders&#8217; Clinton-related travel cost the campaign an estimated $342,000, per the Examiner.
This also won&#8217;t be the first time Sanders has chartered a private plane to jet him around. His Senate campaign had an account with Apollo Jets &#8212; a high-end private jet charter service &#8212; and used it.
“According to federal campaign finance reports, Friends of Bernie Sanders, the senator’s official 2018 Senate campaign committee, spent $297,685.50 with Apollo Jets, a private charter jet service headquartered in New York,” The Daily Wire reported back in December of 2018, right before Sanders declared his intent to run for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. “The report does not break down the number of trips or where they were taken. The check was issued on Oct. 10, according to the report.”
They do, at least, try to be environmentally conscious. In the same report, aides indicated that &#8220;the campaign paid $4,980.00 to NativeEnergy for carbon offsets.”

James Gillespie Blaine led an interesting life. He served as speaker of the House of Representatives and in the United States Senate. Twice he served as secretary of state, holding the position under three separate presidents. He even sought the presidency, losing to Grover Cleveland.
Blaine’s most notorious legacy, however, is an amendment bearing his name.
Blaine got his idea from a fiery speech delivered by President Ulysses Grant at the height of a national controversy over whether religion had any place within the nation’s public schools. In 1875, President Grant declared, “Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate.”
Days later, Blaine introduced a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that would prevent any government aid to “sectarian schools,” targeting Catholic schools in particular.
His federal amendment failed, but various states borrowed his proposal and their own constitutions were amended instead. Today, almost 40 states have a constitutional provision that prevents government aid to religious institutions. These state constitutional amendments have empowered states to legally discriminate against religious organizations when they perform the same work secular institutions do.
For years, activists have used Blaine Amendments to successfully exclude religious individuals and organizations from benefitting from public benefits. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote of Blaine Amendments in the 2000 decision of <a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/530/793/">Mitchell v. Helms</a>, “This doctrine, born of bigotry, should be buried now.”
But Blaine’s legacy still lives. Just a few years ago, in <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/15-577_khlp.pdf">Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia v. Comer</a>, many who hoped to attend the funeral of Blaine Amendments were disappointed when the Court stopped just short of killing Blaine. A frustrated Chief Justice John Roberts observed in the majority opinion that the Blaine Amendment at issue in Trinity Lutheran put the church to the choice of either operating as a church or “automatic and absolute exclusion from the benefits of a public program for which the [church] is otherwise fully qualified.”
How can that still stand in the year 2020? Place two organizations on equal footing — one of whom is charitably motivated because of its secularity and the other by its religious convictions. Yet only the secular organization qualifies for participation in public programs.
In fact, government officials need not rely upon the overall ability, educational or professional qualifications, financial stability, or facilities of a religious organization to decide whether it may participate. Rather, they may exclude religious organizations because they are religious organizations. Their religion may be the sole criterion for exclusion.
This week, the Supreme Court justices will have another crack at Blaine’s legacy. In <a href="https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/espinoza-v-montana-department-of-revenue/">Espinoza v. Montana Dept. of Revenue</a>, parents of young children challenge the state’s denial of the use of scholarship funds for their children to attend a religious school. The funds come from private donations for which individuals and/or organizations receive a tax credit. Montana contends this administrative act of government conceding taxes for charitable donations necessarily excludes the religious from participation.
First Liberty Institute, where I work, has experience with this. In fact, we have a good friend with more than a little personal experience. The state of Washington used its Blaine Amendment to deny Joshua Davey a promise scholarship that he intended to use to study for religious ministry at a religious college. His case went to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2004, where the court upheld Washington’s decision in <a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/540/712/">Locke v. Davey</a>.
But, Davey, inspired by the attorneys who helped him with his case, went to Harvard Law School instead and now has a thriving law practice in North Carolina. He partnered with First Liberty to draft a <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/18-1195/116222/20190918134556011_18-1195%20Amicus%20Brief%20Forge.pdf">friend-of-the-court brief</a> in support of the Espinozas.
We argue on behalf of another client from Benton County, Washington, Forge Youth Mentoring. There, county officials ultimately decided not end their grant to Forge, which was among the only mentoring groups lending help to the troubled youth of their community. But that came only after First Liberty got involved. Otherwise, Blaine would have claimed yet another victim.
Religious organizations are as deserving of participation in public programs as anybody else. It was wrong for Blaine and his ilk to insist upon excluding Catholics from such participation in the 1800s. Insisting that we sanitize the public square of religious organizations merely begets a government intent on enforcing what Attorney General William Barr <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/jeremy-dys-liberal-attack-on-barrs-religious-freedom-speech-shows-hes-right">might refer to as</a> “militant secularism.”
Rather, the promise of the First Amendment is — at the very least — that government will be neutral towards religion. This welcomes religious organizations to compete in the public square on equal footing with other organizations. If they are to be denied, let it be for legitimate reasons having not the whiff of religious discrimination. Government should never tolerate the codification of religious bigotry.

The Senate impeachment trial began in earnest Tuesday, but the defendant of the trial wasn&#8217;t there to see it. In fact, he wasn&#8217;t in the country — or even the Western Hemisphere, for that matter. And while Democratic senators began the &#8220;solemn&#8221; procedure by accusing Republicans of a &#8220;cover up&#8221; in setting nearly the same rules as those passed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/all-eyes-on-mitt-romneys-first-move-in-impeachment-trial-disappoints-democrats">unanimously</a> for Bill Clinton&#8217;s trial, President Trump was over in Davos, Switzerland, delivering what conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh called &#8220;one of his finest speeches of his entire administration.&#8221;
&#8220;The president in Davos today is speaking for America,&#8221; Limbaugh <a href="https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2020/01/21/the-president-makes-the-case-for-american-greatness-in-davos/">told</a> his massive radio audience. &#8220;The president in Davos today is speaking for the future of America. It isn’t today’s Democrats. It isn’t today’s leftists. It’s the president. He was on fire, and it may be one of his finest speeches of his entire administration.&#8221;
&#8220;Make America Great Again,&#8221; said Limbaugh, quoting Trump&#8217;s famous 2016 slogan. Referencing a clip from his show Monday in which Rush laid out Trump&#8217;s disgust with the idea that somehow &#8220;America is the problem in the world,&#8221; Limbaugh said: &#8220;This is exactly what bothers him. It’s bothered him for a long time as a citizen like it’s bothered me, like it’s bothered you, this view of America that has been adopted by the Washington establishment — by our civil service corps, the ambassador corps — that somehow we’re the problem, that we are the destabilizing agent in the world, and it’s a bunch … It’s a crock.&#8221;
&#8220;[T]hey love him in Davos, and you know why?&#8221; said Limbaugh. &#8220;‘Cause he’s been right &#8230; [T]he guys that own the yachts are there, and Trump has been going, and he’s telling them two years ago what he was gonna do. He’s telling them two years ago what can be possible.&#8221; It&#8217;s these same elite folks, said Limbaugh, who often &#8220;fall prey to all of this liberal thinking and the conventional wisdom — and they fall prey to it because it’s so dominant everywhere,&#8221; but Trump comes to Davos and sets them straight.
&#8220;Trump stands alone, tells them, &#8216;No. It’s wrong. America’s gonna be great. We’re coming back; let me tell you how we’re gonna do it,&#8217; and he’s done it,&#8221; said Rush. &#8220;They love the guy in Davos now because he’s been right about it, and it’s all been beneficial to them — and it’s not just individual wealthy people I’m talking about. It’s governments and a number of institutions which have been sucked in. I mean, if the United States elects a guy like Obama then the world thinks, &#8216;Wow. The United States wants to go socialist. We’d better go socialist. We’ve gotta stay friends with the U.S.,&#8217; and even if they think it’s the wrong thing to do, they did it because they’re afraid of being shut out by the U.S.&#8221;
Instead, Trump shows up and disavows socialist policies and embraces the idea of America leading the way, said Limbaugh, cuing a clip from the speech as an example:
<blockquote>TRUMP: When I spoke at this forum two years ago, I told you that we had launched the great American comeback. Today, I’m proud to declare that the United States in the midst of an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen before. America’s thriving, America’s flourishing — and, yes, America is winning again like never before. Just last week alone, the United States concluded two extraordinary trade deals, the agreement with China and the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement, the two biggest trade deals ever made. These agreements represent a new model of trade for the twenty-first century — agreements that are fair, reciprocal, and that prioritize the needs of workers and families. &#8230;
America’s economic turnaround has been nothing short of spectacular. When I took office three years ago, America’s economy was in a rather dismal state. The experts predicted a decade of very, very slow growth — or maybe even negative growth — high unemployment and a dwindling workforce and very much a shrinking middle class. Millions of hardworking, ordinary citizens felt neglected, betrayed, forgotten. They were rapidly losing faith in the system.</blockquote>
&#8220;Exactly!&#8221; Limbaugh exclaimed. &#8220;What were they being told? &#8216;America’s best days are behind us. America’s best days may not have been legitimate. We’re in a new era of decline mandated by world conditions. The United States finally must pay the price for all of its sins that it has committed that led to its superpower status.&#8217; Yada yada yada. Obama’s crowd said, &#8216;We’re the ones to manage the decline so the pain will be as limited as possible on you.'&#8221;
&#8220;That’s just three years ago that Trump came along and said, &#8216;This is not necessary! It’s not necessary to see the country this way. It isn’t necessary to see the world this way. There’s no reason in the world the United States has to be seen as in decline,'&#8221; Limbaugh noted.
After pointing to a segment of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box,&#8221; as Rush calls it, in which Andrew Ross Sorkin admits that Trump &#8220;turned the whole thing on its head&#8221; in Davos, helping create &#8220;the New Davos Man,&#8221; Limbaugh addressed why so many globalists are desperate to dethrone America.
&#8220;Cutting down the world’s lone superpower is fundamental — it’s required — if you are going to institute some mad dream of a globalist regime or government that you are part of,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You cannot have a globalist government if the most powerful economy and the freest society on earth is not part of it. So subordinating the United States, getting rid of borders, the whole concept of nations? It makes perfect sense why people of that bent would try to convince people America’s best days are behind them.&#8221;
But Trump has come along and helped steer the country back on the right course, where it is &#8220;bigger, better, and stronger than ever before,&#8221; as the president spelled out in his Davos speech:
<blockquote>TRUMP: Since my election, America has gained over seven million jobs. The unemployment rate is now less than 3.5%. We’re concentrating and creating the most inclusive economy ever to exist. We are lifting up Americans of every race, color, religion, and creed. Since I took office, more than two million Millennials have gotten jobs, and their wages have grown by nearly 5% annually — a number that was unthinkable. This is a blue-collar boom. Since my election, the net worth of the bottom half of wage earners has increased by plus-47%, three times faster than the increase for the top 1%. Real median household income is at the highest level ever recorded. The American dream is back bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.</blockquote>
&#8220;Damn right it is — and it’s, once again, the envy of the world, and it’s not unreachable for these people,&#8221; said Rush. &#8220;All they have to do is abandon their own socialism&#8230;&#8221;

Limbaugh: As Impeachment Trial Kicks Off, Trump Gives One Of Best Speeches Of His Presidency

Donald Trump

Impeachment

Rush Limbaugh

Socialism

A new report on Tuesday night alleges that House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) appears to have &#8220;mischaracterized&#8221; evidence that was used in House Democrats&#8217; impeachment investigation.
The problem stems from a letter that Schiff sent to House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) last week that summarizes &#8220;a trove of evidence from Lev Parnas, an indicted former associate of Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani,&#8221; Politico <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/schiff-may-have-mischaracterized-parnas-evidence-documents-show/ar-BBZchl2?ocid=st2">reported</a>. &#8220;In one section of the letter, Schiff claims that Parnas &#8216;continued to try to arrange a meeting with President Zelensky,&#8217; citing a specific text message exchange where Parnas tells Giuliani: &#8216;trying to get us mr Z.&#8217; The remainder of the exchange — which was attached to Schiff’s letter — was redacted.&#8221;
Politico added, &#8220;But an unredacted version of the exchange shows that several days later, Parnas sent Giuliani a word document that appears to show notes from an interview with Mykola Zlochevsky, the founder of Burisma, followed by a text message to Giuliani that states: &#8216;mr Z answers my brother.&#8217; That suggests Parnas was referring to Zlochevsky not Zelensky.&#8221;
Democrat officials did not dispute the suggestion that Schiff&#8217;s claim was false.
A Republican aide told Politico that the false claim was at best the result of sloppy work.
“The most charitable view of the situation is that [Schiff’s] staff committed the equivalent of Congressional malpractice by not looking more than an inch deep to determine the facts before foisting this erroneous information on his colleagues and the American public,” one senior GOP aide told Politico. “But given the selective redactions and contextual clues, it seems as though Chairman Schiff sought to portray an innocuous meeting with Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky as an insidious one with the President of Ukraine simply because both of their surnames start with the letter Z.”
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) responded to Schiff&#8217;s false statement by <a href="https://twitter.com/EliseStefanik/status/1219815889077403648">writing</a> on Twitter: &#8220;Schiff’s sham impeachment is littered with mischaracterizations, falsehoods, &amp; political desperation. The more Schiff speaks to the American people, the more the support for impeachment is obliterated in the court of public opinion.&#8221;
Schiff, who is Democrat impeachment manager for the Senate trial, was accused GOP National Spokesperson Elizabeth Harrington of fabricating quotes while delivering remarks today.

BREAKING: New Documents Show Democrat Adam Schiff Mischaracterized Evidence In Impeachment, Report Suggests

President Donald Trump highlighted while speaking at the Davos World Economic Forum on Tuesday the numerous economic wins that his administration has accomplished for the United States during its first three years in office.
Trump highlighted the two recent trade deals that his administration secured in recent weeks along with low unemployment rates for minority communities, the millions of new jobs that have been created, and the booming stock market as just a few indicators of the current strength of the U.S. economy.
Here are some of Trump&#8217;s top quotes that show specific metrics which highlight the administration&#8217;s accomplishments:
<ul>
<li>Just last week alone, the United States concluded two extraordinary trade deals: the agreement with China and the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement — the two biggest trade deals ever made.  They just happened to get done in the same week.</li>
<li>When I took office three years ago, America’s economy was in a rather dismal state.  Under the previous administration, nearly 200,000 manufacturing jobs had vanished, wages were flat or falling, almost 5 million more Americans had left the labor force than had gotten jobs, and more than 10 million people had been added to the food stamp rolls.</li>
<li>Since my election, America has gained over 7 million jobs — a number unthinkable.  I wouldn’t say it, I wouldn’t talk about it, but that was a number that I had in mind.  The projection was 2 million; we did 7 [million] — more than three times the government’s own projections.</li>
<li>The unemployment rate is now less than 3, 4, and 5 percent.  And at 3.5 percent, that’s a number that is the lowest in more than 50 years.  The average unemployment rate for my administration is the lowest for any U.S. President in recorded history.  We started off with reasonably high rate.</li>
<li>For the first time in decades, we are no longer simply concentrating wealth in the hands of a few.  We’re concentrating and creating the most inclusive economy ever to exist.  We are lifting up Americans of every race, color, religion, and creed.</li>
<li>Unemployment rates among African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans have all reached record lows.  African American youth unemployment has reached the lowest it’s ever been in the history of our country.  African American poverty has plummeted to the lowest rate ever recorded.  The unemployment rate for women reached the lowest level since 1953.  And women now comprise a majority of the American workforce; that’s for the first time.</li>
<li>The unemployment rate for veterans has dropped to a record low.  The unemployment rate for disabled Americans has reached an all-time record low.  Workers without a high school diploma have achieved the lowest unemployment rate recorded in U.S. history.  Wages are rising across the board.  And those at the bottom of the income ladder are enjoying the percentage, by far, largest gains.</li>
<li>Workers’ wages are now growing faster than management wages.  Earnings growth for the bottom 10 percent is outpacing the top 10 percent — something that has not happened.  Paychecks for high school graduates are rising faster than for college graduates.</li>
<li>Young Americans just entering the workforce are also sharing in America’s extraordinary prosperity.  Since I took office, more than 2 million millennials have gotten jobs, and their wages have grown by nearly 5 percent annually — a number that was unthinkable.  Nobody would have ever thought it was possible three years ago.  A record number of Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 are now working.</li>
<li>In the eight years before I took office, over 300,000 working-age people left the workforce.  In just three years in my administration, 3.5 million people have joined the workforce.  Ten million people have been lifted off welfare in less than three years.  Celebrating the dignity of work is a fundamental pillar of our agenda.</li>
<li>This is a blue-collar boom.  Since my election, the net worth of the bottom half of wage earners has increased by plus-47 percent — three times faster than the increase for the top 1 percent.  Real median household income is at the highest level ever recorded.</li>
<li>We have created 1.2 million manufacturing and construction jobs — a number also unthinkable.  After losing 60,000 factories under the previous two administrations — hard to believe when you hear “60,000 factories” — America has now gained, in a very short period of time, 12,000 new factories under my administration.  And the number is going up rapidly.  We’ll be beating the 60,000 number that we lost, except these will be bigger, newer, and the latest.</li>
<li>Years of economic stagnation have given way to a roaring geyser of opportunity.  U.S. stock markets have soared by more than 50 percent since my election, adding more than $19 trillion to household wealth, and boosting 401(k)s, pensions, and college savings accounts for millions of hardworking families.</li>
<li>As part of this new vision, we passed the largest package of tax cuts and reforms in American history.  We doubled the child tax credit, benefitting 40 million American families and lifting 650,000 single mothers and their 1 million children out of poverty — and out of poverty quickly.</li>
<li>We passed the first-ever tax credit for employers who provide paid paternal leave for employees earning $72,000 less annually, and passed paid family leave for government employees as a model for the country.</li>
<li>We created nearly 9,000 Opportunity Zones in distressed communities where capital gains on long-term investments are now taxed at zero, and tremendous wealth is pouring into areas that for a hundred years saw nothing.</li>
<li>The 35 million Americans who live in these areas have already seen their home values rise by more than $22 billion.  My administration has also made historic investments in historically black colleges and universities.  I saved HCBUs.  We saved them.  They were going out, and we saved them.</li>
<li>We’ve also launched the most ambitious campaign in history to reduce job-killing regulations.  For every new regulation adopted, we are removing eight old regulations, which will save an average of American households about $3,100 per year.  It was going to be, “for every one, we do two,” but we were able to lift that to eight, and we think that’s going to go quite a bit higher.  We still have a way to go.</li>
<li>Additionally, China will spend an additional $200 billion over two years on American services, agriculture, and energy, and manufactured goods.  So we’ll be taking in an excess of $200 billion; could be closer to $300 billion when it finishes.  But these achievements would not have been possible without the implementation of tariffs, which we had to use, and we’re using them on others too.  And that is why most of our tariffs on China will remain in place during the phase two negotiations.  For the most part, the tariffs have been left, and we’re being paid billions and billions of dollars a year as a country.</li>
<li>Our brand-new USMCA is the result of the broadest coalition ever assembled for a trade agreement.  Manufacturing, agriculture, and labor all strongly endorsed the deal.  And, as you know, it just passed in Congress overwhelmingly.  It shows how to solve the 21st century challenge we all face: protecting intellectual property, expanding digital trade, re-shoring lost jobs, and ensuring rising wages and living standards.</li>
<li>The United States has also concluded a great new trade deal with Japan — approximately $40 billion — and completely renegotiated our deal with South Korea.</li>
</ul>

Trump Highlights His Major Economic Achievements For America While On World Stage

If Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) wins the presidency in November, she has promised to appoint a cabinet that is at least half female in an obvious effort to rally the feminists to her cause.
In a <a href="https://medium.com/@teamwarren/restoring-integrity-and-competence-to-government-after-trump-1fda0e1cc4c5">lengthy Medium</a> post in which she laid out her plan on &#8220;Restoring Our Government After Trump,&#8221; Elizabeth Warren made a number of proposals as to whom she will appoint to serve in the Executive Branch. After promising to ensure her picks best represent the people in both economics and influence, she then promised to ensure her cabinet will be one of inclusion consisting of at least 50% women.
&#8220;Our government officials can best serve the American public when they reflect the diversity of the country itself,&#8221; lamented Warren. &#8220;The federal government does a dismal job on diversity and inclusion. The share of Latinas in the federal workforce is about half that of the entire workforce.&#8221;
&#8220;Even though Black women are disproportionately represented in the federal workforce, they are nearly absent from its leadership ranks,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;White workers make up nearly 80% of the senior civil service despite making up only 63% of the overall federal workforce. The Obama administration worked to raise the proportion of people with disabilities to more than 14% of the federal workforce, but <a class="bi cv he hf hg hh" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/under-trump-discrimination-complaints-firing-disabled-federal-workers-rise-n1036291" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">that dropped to 9.2% under Trump</a>.&#8221;
To better correct this apparent discrepancy of representation, Warren then made several key promises to individual groups, including women and LGBTQ people. Here are just a few of her pledges:
<ul class="">
<li id="83e3" class="fw fx ar bz fy b fz ga gb gc gd ge gf gg gh gi gj ib ic id" data-selectable-paragraph="">Build a Cabinet and senior leadership team that reflects the full diversity of America, including having at least 50% of Cabinet positions filled by women and non-binary people.</li>
<li id="d78a" class="fw fx ar bz fy b fz if gb ig gd ih gf ii gh ij gj ib ic id" data-selectable-paragraph="">Ensure representation of LGBTQ+ people across all levels of government, including in leadership roles.</li>
<li id="a6db" class="fw fx ar bz fy b fz if gb ig gd ih gf ii gh ij gj ib ic id" data-selectable-paragraph="">Diversify recruitment to direct real resources toward attracting entry-level applicants for public service from HBCUs, Tribal Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and other minority-serving institutions, and reform high-level recruiting processes to attract diverse experienced hires into senior management positions.</li>
</ul>
According to <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elizabeth-warren-women-executive-branch-cabinet_n_5e26851bc5b673621f7ad413">The Huffington Post</a>, the Trump administration has just four women serving as cabinet members out of 23 positions; Obama had as many as eight women.
Failed presidential Hillary Clinton also pledged to fill half her cabinet with women back in 2016, which undoubtedly helped her shore up feminist support. “I am going to have a cabinet that looks like America, and 50 percent of America is women, right?” <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/enormous-deal-look-hillary-clinton-s-promise-cabinet-full-women-n564761">she said</a> on Rachel Maddow at the time.
Hillary&#8217;s decision followed that of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who also appointed women to 50% of the country&#8217;s cabinet positions. When asked why, Trudeau famously answered, &#8220;because it&#8217;s 2015.&#8221;
“It’s important to be here before you today to present to Canada a cabinet that looks like Canada,” <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/04/canada-cabinet-gender-diversity-justin-trudeau">Trudeau said</a> at the time.
Now that a wedge has been driven between the alliance enjoyed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Warren, the Massachusetts senator has now focused her efforts on differentiating herself with identity. This card she played in full during the previous  Democratic debate when CNN asked Bernie a biased question regarding an alleged conversation they previously had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/heres-what-insiders-allege-warren-and-sanders-said-during-that-tense-post-debate-exchange">in which he said</a> a woman could not beat President Trump.

Last night, Daily Wire Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer, a constitutional attorney by training who has been a <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/11/19/alexander-vindman-condemned-himself-in-his-impeachment-testimony/">frequent</a> <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/11/26/why-trumps-ukraine-demands-werent-remotely-illegal/">commentator</a> on Democrats’ current partisan <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/12/13/obstruction-of-congress-is-an-utterly-ridiculous-impeachment-charge/">impeachment</a> <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/12/19/pelosis-newest-dirty-trick-putting-trumps-senate-trial-on-hold/">effort</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR6O_a8m-8A">joined</a> “Tipping Point With Liz Wheeler” on One America News Network (OANN) to discuss the Democrats&#8217; increasingly hard push to ensure that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hammer-bad-trump-presidents-dismissal-john-bolton-josh-hammer">former</a> National Security Advisor John Bolton is called to testify during the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.
&#8220;Democrats may decide to call Bolton to testify about a possible quid pro quo between Trump and Ukrainian officials regarding an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, even though the articles of impeachment are already published.&#8221; The Daily Wire&#8217;s Emily Zanotti <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pelosi-threatens-to-call-john-bolton-to-testify-in-house-even-as-dems-vote-to-send-impeachment-articles-to-senate">reported</a> earlier this month. &#8220;Senior Democrats raised the possibility of subpoenaing Bolton last week, after Bolton himself admitted that, if asked to testify by the Senate, he would comply (though he did not speak on whether he would do the same for a House subpoena, and referenced Republicans specifically).&#8221;
&#8220;The theory seems to be, according to a plan of action outlined by former advisors of President Barack Obama on the left-leaning site, <a href="https://crooked.com/articles/subpoena-john-bolton-democrats/">Crooked</a>, if Bolton is called to testify in the House and provides information critical to the case against the President, that Senate Republicans will have no choice but to allow witnesses at Trump’s Senate impeachment trial,&#8221; Zanotti continued.
Last week, The Federalist&#8217;s David Marcus <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/01/14/john-boltons-testimony-would-not-be-the-smoking-gun-democrats-need/">argued</a> that even if Bolton testified, his testimony would hardly be the smoking gun that Democrats seem to think it would be. &#8220;[W]hat can John Bolton possibly say that would prove Trump’s intent was malicious, and not genuine concern about taxpayer dollars falling into corrupt hands?&#8221; Marcus asked rhetorically. &#8220;Is he really going to say, &#8216;The president told me he doesn’t care about corruption, he just wanted to get that pesky Joe Biden and get him good?&#8217; Is there anyone on the face of the planet who thinks that such a conversation could have taken place?&#8221;
Hammer joined Wheeler&#8217;s OANN program to discuss the same topic. Hammer agreed with Marcus that there is no plausible scenario in which Bolton&#8217;s Senate testimony would be a smoking gun.
<blockquote>[Bolton] is clearly not going to provide any kind of smoking gun testimony for the reasons that you just outlined. &#8230; [M]y boss at The Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro, had a good, pretty lengthy <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/10/the-two-theories-of-trumps-actions-in-the-ukraine-affair/">column for National Review</a> back in October [on this]. There are two theories as to what happened on the now-infamous July 25th phone call between Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky. The first theory Ben calls the &#8220;Get Biden Theory&#8221;; the second theory is what Ben calls the &#8220;Miasma of Corruption Theory.&#8221;
So on the first hand, Trump is just trying to politically &#8230; get his opponent, Joe Biden. The second hand, he&#8217;s actually trying to attach corruption-related strings to the doling out of taxpayer aid. My reading of everything that&#8217;s happened so far is that this second theory, the &#8220;Miasma of Corruption Theory,&#8221; is more likely. Possibly, the &#8220;Get Biden Theory&#8221; is right, but as you say, the only reason — or the only way that we would ever be shown that is right — is if John Bolton was literally told by Donald J. Trump, president of the United States, &#8220;I am doing this to get Joe Biden.&#8221; That&#8217;s not going to happen.</blockquote>
Hammer also elaborated on Twitter earlier today.

On Tuesday, with impeachment proceedings underway in the Senate, a tweet appeared from Senator Ted Cruz, provoking former Clinton White House press secretary and current CNN political analyst Joe Lockhart to trumpet that Cruz had violated the rules of the Senate and that Twitter should investigate him. Cruz’s reply was one for the ages.
Cruz triggered Lockhart by tweeting, “NEWSFLASH for Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff: <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump">@realDonaldTrump</a> invoking Constitutional privilege is not obstruction of Congress. If it were, nearly every president would have committed impeachable conduct.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Lockhart, apparently breathless with excitement, responded on Twitter, “Senators on the floor are sworn to silence and have no electronic devices. So how is this Senator tweeting? Did he sneak a phone in. Is he willing to go to prison? Or is the tweet from someone other than Cruz. <a href="https://twitter.com/jack">@jack</a> you should investigate.”

Cruz, a student of history, was making an obvious reference of Texas to the Battle of Gonzales in 1835 in the Texas revolution against Mexico. In that battle, when Texans resisted the Mexican forces who outnumbered them and intended to take their cannon, the Texans created a flag on which &#8220;come and take it&#8221; was emblazoned along with a black star. Replicas of the original flag can be found all over Texas, from the state capitol to the Texas State History Museum to the University of Texas to Sam Houston State University.
In all likelihood, Cruz is also aware of another time in American history in which the phrase &#8220;come and take it&#8221; was used: Fort Morris in Georgia during the Revolutionary War, where British soldiers outnumbered the 127 Continental soldiers plus militiamen and local citizens and demanded the Americans&#8217; surrender in a written note. American Colonel John McIntosh issued a response in which he stated, &#8220;As to surrendering the fort, receive this laconic reply: COME AND TAKE IT!&#8221;
Cruz has been on a roll lately; on Sunday, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cruz-trolls-pelosi-on-impeachment-trump-will-be-acquitted-forever-of-these-bogus-charges">mocked</a> House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s pronouncement  that President Donald Trump will be &#8220;impeached forever,&#8221; responding that by the time the Senate is done with the trial, Trump would be &#8220;acquitted forever of these bogus charges.&#8221; Last week, after Pelosi celebrated sending off the articles of impeachment by smiling and offering taxpayer-funded golden pens to those who attended,  Cruz had a golden response of his own characterizing the Democrats as buffoonish and childish, which he sent via <a href="https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1217634848426397696?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1217634848426397696&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.dailywire.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D79486%26action%3Dedit">Twitter</a>: “Given the circus in the House, I’m surprised she didn’t use crayons.”
Just before that, after Senator Elizabeth Warren suggested that on the first day in office after she were elected president, she would cancel student loan debt for up to 42 million Americans and simply ignore what Congress had to say about it, Cruz <a href="https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1217151342071963649?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1217151342071963649&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.dailywire.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D79151%26action%3Dedit">fired back</a>, &#8220;Which clause of the Constitution gives a President the authority to give away a trillion $ w/o Congress?

Former Clinton White House Press Secretary Says Twitter Should Investigate Cruz. Cruz Decimates Him With One Image.

Ted Cruz

As President Trump recently pointed out, there&#8217;s a &#8220;feud brewing&#8221; between radical progressive Democratic presidential candidates Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — and members of the media don&#8217;t appear to be trying very hard to conceal their bias in the internecine quarrel.
&#8220;Bernie Sander’s volunteers are trashing Elizabeth &#8216;Pocahontas&#8217; Warren,&#8221; Trump tweeted last week. &#8220;Everybody knows her campaign is dead and want her potential voters. Mini Mike B is also trying, but getting tiny crowds which are all leaving fast. Elizabeth is very angry at Bernie. Do I see a feud brewing?&#8221;

&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1216743062543663105?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 13, 2020</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
A feud is indeed &#8220;brewing&#8221; — and now boiling over — and many on the left, including CNN debate moderators and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, are jumping in to take shots at Sanders.
Following a glaring example of CNN making painfully clear to its viewers during a primary debate that they believe Warren over Sanders regarding his alleged &#8220;sexist&#8221; comments about the 2020 election, NBC News&#8217; &#8220;THINK&#8221; section got in on the trashing Bernie action, publishing a piece that compares Sanders&#8217; supporters to the worst of the worst, at least according to mainstream media standards.
In the piece, published over the weekend, NBC News THINK contributor Kurt Bardella gave Warren an assist by taking full aim at &#8220;(some) supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders,&#8221; who, Bardella suggests, are racist, sexist bullies almost indistinguishable in their &#8220;tone and tactics&#8221; from the scum of the earth — that&#8217;s right, Trump supporters &#8230;
<blockquote>
On the morning after Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate, the#NeverWarren hashtag starting trending as (some) supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders went on the attack (and the media amplified those attacks). The anti-Sen. Elizabeth Warren missives took many forms, including a small snake emojis mob. But the aggressive tenor was familiar. &#8230;
The attacks against Warren come from the same corners of social media that disparage Democrats (like myself) as being “puppets,” “centrist,” “anti-Semitic, and “ageist” for having the audacity to question or scrutinize their chosen leader. People of color and women who dare to disagree with Sanders’ political assertions have often borne the brunt of this abuse.
This hyper-vocal faction of Sanders supporters — colloquially known as “Bernie Bros” — never went away after the 2016 presidential election. In my personal experience, these bros are almost overwhelmingly white men. And they share, like Trump&#8217;s ardent supporters, a desire to “put me in my place.” Disturbingly, there are times where you really can’t distinguish between the tone and tactics of Trump’s #MAGA nation and Sanders’ “Bros.”
</blockquote>
Clinton heaped on more fuel to the already party unity-damaging fire in an interview with <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/hillary-clinton-full-a-fiery-new-documentary-trump-regrets-harsh-words-bernie-1271551">The Hollywood Reporter</a> published Tuesday. Asked if she stood by her statements trashing Sanders in the new Hulu docuseries &#8220;Hillary,&#8221; the former Secretary of State doubled down.
&#8220;In the doc, you’re brutally honest on Sanders: ‘He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it,’&#8221; THR <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hillary-attacks-bernie-no-one-likes-him-or-his-prominent-supporters-has-culture-problem">asked</a> Clinton. &#8220;That assessment still hold?&#8221;
&#8220;Yes, it does,&#8221; said Clinton.
Like Bardella, Clinton also took aim at Sanders&#8217; supporters. &#8220;[I]t’s not only him, it’s the culture around him,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It’s his leadership team. It’s his prominent supporters. It’s his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women.&#8221;
&#8220;And I really hope people are paying attention to that because it should be worrisome that he has permitted this culture — not only permitted, [he] seems to really be very much supporting it,&#8221; Clinton added. &#8220;And I don&#8217;t think we want to go down that road again where you campaign by insult and attack and maybe you try to get some distance from it, but you either don&#8217;t know what your campaign and supporters are doing or you&#8217;re just giving them a wink and you want them to go after Kamala [Harris] or after Elizabeth [Warren]. I think that that&#8217;s a pattern that people should take into account when they make their decisions.&#8221;
Sanders has since responded by taking the high road. “My focus today is on a monumental moment in American history: The impeachment trial of Donald Trump,” said Bernie in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bernie-sanders-responds-to-hillary-clintons-attack-while-his-supporters-trash-her">statement</a> Tuesday. “Together, we are going to go forward and defeat the most dangerous president in American history.”

Media Bias

Hillary Clinton made headlines Tuesday for a wide-ranging interview <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/hillary-clinton-full-a-fiery-new-documentary-trump-regrets-harsh-words-bernie-1271551">she held with The Hollywood Reporter</a> in anticipation of the world premiere of &#8220;Hillary,&#8221; a documentary about her life, premiering this week at the Sundance Film Festival, but largely because she finally let loose on Sen. Bernie Sanders, her rival for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, trashing the Vermont Senator and calling him unlikeable and fake.
But in her interview with THR, she also defended her longtime friend, Democratic mega-donor Harvey Weinstein, despite &#8220;disavowing&#8221; the accused sexual predator back in the 2017, when he was first accused of dozens of sexual assaults and rapes.
There was no way to know, Clinton said, that Weinstein was a sexual predator before the women came forward, because Weinstein was nothing more than a distant friend and sometimes donor.
&#8220;How could we have known?&#8221; Clinton told The Hollywood Reporter. &#8220;He raised money for me, for the Obamas, for Democrats in general. And that at the time was something that everybody thought made sense.&#8221;
&#8220;Of course, if all of us had known what we know now, it would have affected our behavior,&#8221; she quickly added.
That makes it sound as though Clinton just cashed Weinstein&#8217;s checks, but the pair have at least a cordial relationship going back more than a decade. Indeed, he was a donor; Weinstein reportedly bundling around $1.6 million for Clinton&#8217;s 2016 presidential campaign, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/hillary-clinton-defends-harvey-weinstein-association-1483227">per Newsweek</a>, and giving around $1.4 million of his own to Democrats since 1992, when Clinton&#8217;s husband, Bill, first ran for president.
&#8220;The Weinstein family donated $46,350 to Hillary Clinton and to HILLPAC, a committee Clinton used to support other Democrats while senator,&#8221; Newsweek reports.
But Bill and Hillary Clinton were personal friends of Weinstein&#8217;s. The trio were spotted together at fundraisers, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/flynn-tweets-photo-harvey-weinstein-hillary-clinton/story?id=55436265">like the Planned Parenthood 100th Anniversary Gala</a>, which took place just a couple of months before the #MeToo movement began in earnest, and Bill and Hillary<a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jul/25/hillary-clinton-cozies-up-to-harvey-weinstein-remi/"> dined out with Harvey at New York landmark Rao</a>&#8216;s in December of 2016, after she lost the presidential election to Donald Trump &#8212; one of her first times out after the election. It was a business meeting, The New York Times reported; Clinton wanted to make a documentary about her loss.
And Clinton was, reportedly, told several times about Weinstein&#8217;s extra-curricular activities during the 2016 election cycle, most notably by writer and women&#8217;s rights activist Lena Dunham, who took a front-and-center role on Clinton&#8217;s campaign. Dunham emailed Clinton&#8217;s then-communications director with a dire warning: &#8220;I just want you to let you know that Harvey’s a rapist and this is going to come out at some point,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I think it’s a really bad idea for him to host fund-raisers and be involved because it’s an open secret in Hollywood that he has a problem with sexual assault.&#8221;
The New Yorker&#8217;s Ronan Farrow even claims, <a href="https://www.insider.com/ronan-farrow-hillary-clinton-tried-to-kill-harvey-weinstein-story-2019-10">in his new book, &#8220;Catch and Kill</a>,&#8221; that Weinstein tried to use Clinton as a surrogate, siccing on the investigative reporter to try to kill a story Farrow was working on about Weinstein&#8217;s alleged sexual assaults.
Farrow received an email &#8220;from Clinton&#8217;s publicist, Nick Merrill, in 2017,&#8221; warning him off Weinstein. &#8220;Merrill told him that the &#8216;big story&#8217; he was working on was a &#8216;concern for us,'&#8221; ostensibly referring to Clinton.
After the allegations against Weinstein became public, Clinton disavowed her relationship with the mega-producer, saying in a statement that she &#8220;was shocked and appalled by the revelations about Harvey Weinstein. The behavior described by women coming forward cannot be tolerated. Their courage and the support of others is critical in helping to stop this kind of behavior.&#8221;
She also pledged to give back Weinstein&#8217;s donations, but never followed up to prove she did.
Weinstein is now on trial in New York for sexual assault. Los Angeles recently announced that Weinstein will have to face charges there, as well, stemming from an alleged rape that occurred the week of the Academy Awards in 2013.

On Tuesday, White House advisor Ivanka Trump was confronted by aggressive CNN reporter and avid self-promoter Jim Acosta at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Mr. Acosta rushed Ivanka as she was coming down a flight of stairs at the forum. &#8220;Your father’s impeachment trial is today, what are your thoughts?” he questioned the eldest Trump daughter. &#8220;Any comment on your father&#8217;s impeachment trial?&#8221;
Ivanka brushed off Acosta and walked around him. As she continued on her walk, Acosta can be heard repeating his questions concerning impeachment.

Acosta had his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-secret-service-takes-jim-acostas-press-ryan-saavedra">hard press pass temporarily revoked</a> in 2018 after he physically pushed back against a young female White House intern trying to grab the communal mic.
&#8220;I’ve just been denied entrance to the [White House]. Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the [White House] grounds for my 8pm hit,” Acosta posted at the time.
Then-White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a statement on the matter: “President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his administration,” she said. “We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern.”
&#8220;This conduct is absolutely unacceptable. It is also completely disrespectful to the reporter’s colleagues not to allow them an opportunity to ask a question. President Trump has given the press more access than any president in history,&#8221; added Sanders.
Acosta has sparked issues with President Donald Trump on numerous occasions. Just last week, for example, the president told the reporter to be &#8220;quiet&#8221; after continuous interruptions.
The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-cnns-acosta-interrupts-one-time-too-many-trump-shuts-him-up-with-one-word">reported</a>: &#8220;President Trump spoke to reporters who were asking him about Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani who claims Trump was aware of efforts to get information about rival presidential candidates. In the process, CNN’s Jim Acosta, as per his usual style, kept interrupting Trump, at which point Trump looked at him and shut him down, saying sternly, &#8216;Quiet.'&#8221;
After Acosta interrupted Trump at least three times, the president looked directly at the reporter and told him, “Quiet.”
In a post published Monday, Ivanka said she was attending the Davos forum on behalf of the White House.
“Headed to Davos to call on the world’s largest employers to sign our #PledgetoAmericasWorkers and join us in unleashing the potential of our people and accelerating the historic wave of opportunity, wage growth and job creation in the United States,” she announced.

When Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in 1947, he was subjected to racist jeers from fans, discrimination from some of his teammates, death threats, and sometimes physical abuse. During his first year on the Brooklyn Dodgers, a player from an opposing team intentionally slid into him cleats-first, leaving a gash in his leg. This treatment was all due to the simple fact that he was a black man playing baseball. His willingness to endure heckles, taunts, and worse, while blazing a trail for other black athletes to follow, has led many people to label him the bravest athlete in sports history.
But now, according to the gay sports outlet Outsports, Robinson&#8217;s reign has come to an end. Cyd Zeigler, writing for the publication, has <a href="https://www.outsports.com/2020/1/14/21062012/fallon-fox-trans-athlete-mma-courage-brave">declared</a> that the bravest athlete of all time, the sports figure who best embodies the virtues of courage and heroism, is a biological male who beat the hell out of a bunch of women in MMA. Zeigler gave the &#8220;trans&#8221; athlete Fallon Fox that moniker in a recent article, explaining that the professional woman-beater &#8220;is an indelible part of LGBTQ sports history&#8221; and has &#8220;opened possibilities for trans athletes in women’s sports that will be felt for generations.&#8221; Why any of this requires courage — much less the most courage of any athlete ever — is never explained.
It also isn&#8217;t explained how courage is involved when a biological male, with his testosterone and greater muscle mass and denser bone structure, <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/transgender-female-boxer-gives-female-opponent-concussion-breaks-her-eye-so">fractures the skull of a female opponent</a> and leaves her lying on the mat, concussed, and bleeding. One would think that the female opponent at least has more courage than the man who is beating her half to death.
We&#8217;re assured that it&#8217;s okay for a male to physically brutalize a female because females sometimes brutalize each other. This is how Fox himself justified it. &#8220;I’m not the first female MMA fighter who’s broken another fighter’s bones,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And people will of course, because I’m trans, hold it up as this devastating thing that couldn’t possibly happen if I weren’t trans. But there are many different examples of similar things happening.&#8221;
He&#8217;s right, of course. He&#8217;s not the first female fighter to break another fighter&#8217;s bones. Mostly because he&#8217;s not a female fighter at all. Notice here how the arbitrary sex versus gender distinction has been collapsed and disregarded. The large, muscular man with a penis and XY chromosomal structure isn&#8217;t just a woman by gender. He is, in fact, a female.
Don&#8217;t count on Zeigler to grapple with that difficulty. We are just supposed to dutifully applaud, accepting at face value whatever lame excuses and justifications are put forward. Zeigler doesn&#8217;t present actual arguments in favor of allowing men like Fox to fight women because there are no arguments available to him. It is objectively wrong on every conceivable level — morally, ethically, scientifically. A coherent defense of the practice cannot be offered, and never has been offered. The most the other side of this debate can do is make vague emotional appeals, hoping we&#8217;ll forget that the women being abused and cheated have emotions, too. But their emotions are irrelevant, we&#8217;re told. Just as science is irrelevant. Just as fairness is irrelevant. All that matters, for some reason, is how this one guy feels. And his insistence on doing what makes him feel good, at any cost, is admirable. Not just admirable, but also heroic. Not just heroic but the most heroic thing anyone has ever done or could ever do.
Heroic. Courageous. Beautiful. Keep repeating it until you believe it.

Michael Avenatti, the lawyer who previously represented adult film actress Stormy Daniels, was arrested last week in Southern California during a California Bar Association hearing for an unrelated offense. 
The “creepy porn lawyer,” as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U950t7M1Tbg">nicknamed</a> by Tucker Carlson, has since found himself in solitary confinement at the Metropolitan Corrections Center in Manhattan, New York, the same jail that housed high-profile inmates such as Jeffrey Epstein and international drug trafficker &#8220;El Chapo.&#8221; 
But Avenatti’s legal team isn’t having it. 
“He is in a cell reportedly once occupied by El Chapo, on a floor that houses individuals charged with terrorism offenses,” reads a <a href="http://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2020/images/01/21/avenatti.attorneys.letter.mcc.jail.conditions.pdf">letter</a> written to Manhattan judge Paul Gardephe that was obtained by CNN. “He is apparently under special administrative measures (SAMs), which almost completely restricts his communications with the outside world.”
The lawyer also complains that Avenatti has not been given the opportunity for phone calls, and that the temperature of his jail cell has made it so uncomfortable that he has “great difficulty functioning.”
“Mr. Avenatti was permitted two social calls upon arriving at the facility, but none since. He was told that his classification entitles him to one pre-scheduled social call per month,” continues the complaint. “The temperature in his cell feels like it is in the mid-40s. He is forced to sleep with three blankets.”
According to the letter, Avenatti’s legal team doesn’t understand why Avenatti has been placed in the special housing unit, the jail’s most secure floor, and wants him given access to materials and services that will allow him to prepare for trial, saying that the current “situation is truly hampering our ability to prepare for trial.”
According to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/21/judge-orders-michael-avenatti-prosecutors-to-explain-jail-conditions.html">CNBC</a>, Gardephe responded sympathetically Tuesday to the letter filed by Avenatti’s legal team, saying that prosecutors had to explain why exactly they decided to toss Avenatti into the housing unit usually reserved for people accused of terrorism and drug trafficking. 
The news agency notes that Avenatti has denied allegations that he unsuccessfully tried to extort the athletics company Nike, as well as allegations that he scammed his clients. 
Last week, Donald Trump Jr. responded to the impeccably poor timing of Avenatti’s arrest, considering that the lawyer was detained during a Democratic Party presidential primary debate and had previously garnered serious attention as a potential challenger to President Trump in 2020. 
“Again??? He would have been more entertaining on tonight’s [Democratic debate] than these jokers. What happened?” tweeted the president’s son.

As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/donald-trump-jr-trolls-michael-avenatti-for-getting-arrested-during-dem-debate">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported, Avenatti has seriously considered running for president on two separate occasions, changing his mind both times. The first time, he changed his mind, citing family concerns; the second time, he stated he was “50/50” about running.
“Never say never,” Avenatti told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/03/michael-avenatti-is-mulling-a-2020-run-for-president-again.html">CNBC</a> last August. “The Dems need a non-traditional fighter. They have a lot of talent but not a lot of fighters.”

Continuing his quest to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ across the land, Kanye West performed a Sunday service before a crowd of over 12,000 students, in which he preached how Jesus saved him from the clutches of Satan.
“I believe Jesus died for my sins. There was a time when the devil had me,” West said to the Strength to Stand Conference on Sunday. “Do you know the good news? Jesus can save a wretch like me. I stretch my hands to you/Father I stretch.”
“When I don’t know what to do, I can still stretch my hands,” he said.
The Christian Post <a href="https://www.christianpost.com/news/kanye-west-shares-how-jesus-saved-him-from-devil-hundreds-dedicate-lives-to-christ-at-youth-conference.html">described the lively</a> event as West proceeded to perform several tracks from his &#8220;Jesus is King&#8221; album in the service of glorifying God:
<blockquote>Surrounded by 38,000 flowers, West and the choir put on an unforgettable service at the East Tennessee conference, complete with rap, gospel-infused songs, and traditional hymns.
By wearing the same gray outfit as the choir, West took the focus off himself. With little stage presence, the hip hop artist stayed within the choir throughout the majority of the service and spoke few words as he performed. The goal of the Sunday Service was clear: God, and not Kanye, was going to be glorified.
And glorified He was.
West powerfully spoke the lyrics of “Jesus Is King” tracks “Selah,” “Follow God,” and the fan-favorite “Closed on Sunday.” During the service, the Sunday Service Choir belted out songs including “Ultralight Beam,” “Every Hour” and “Revelation 19:1,” along with traditional hymns including “How Great Thou Art” and “Jesus Loves Me.”</blockquote>
After over 200 students dedicated their lives to Christ as West&#8217;s pastor, Adam Tyson, said a blessing over them, West closed out the service with a rendition of his 2005 smash hit &#8220;Jesus Walks.&#8221;
“God&#8217;s calling you home. You might be here this morning in a bad place because of your own sin,&#8221; Tyson told the students. &#8220;God says this morning through His Word, ‘I love you. I&#8217;m calling you home.’ And when you return to the Father, He runs up to you. He&#8217;s not shy. He&#8217;s not angry with you. He&#8217;s inviting you back into relationship with Him.”
Scott Dawson, founder of the Scott Dawson Evangelistic Association and the one who helped plan the event in association with the iconic singer, told The Christian Post that the faithful need not be skeptical of Kanye West&#8217;s faith, citing the conversion of St. Paul.
“We&#8217;re just humbled that we were able, through a divine orchestration, to deliver a cultural icon like Kanye West and the transformational power of the Gospel,” Dawson said. “We believe this is part of God’s divine appointment for a movement to go across our country. We’re in awe: You plan a conference, and all of a sudden God is developing a movement.”
“You need to understand the transformational power of Christ in a man&#8217;s life. &#8230; Anyone who reads the New Testament understands the power of Jesus,&#8221; said Dawson. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going to happen in his life. I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going to happen in my life. I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going to happen in your life. But I am firmly convinced I&#8217;m speaking to a brother in Christ.&#8221;
