Rising Nevada Republican congressional candidate Lisa Sutton raised more money during the third quarter than any of the other six Republican primary challengers that she faces in Nevada&#8217;s 4th Congressional District.
Sutton, 34, entered the race during the third quarter and raised more money during the first 90 days of her campaign than any of the other candidates did in their first 90 days and had the highest fundraising quarter overall out of all the Republican candidates.
During the third quarter, the seven GOP candidates raised:
<ol>
<li>Lisa Song Sutton: $127,998.00</li>
<li>Samuel Peters: $111,704.00</li>
<li>Charles Navarro: $80,013.00</li>

</ol>
Sutton, a business owner and former Miss Nevada United States, has a law degree from the University of Miami and is a self-described lifelong Republican.
“I’m incredibly grateful for the momentum my campaign has received in the first 90 days,” Sutton said in a statement. “I’m a business leader, not a politician, and I have shown in my first quarter that we can raise the money to build the grassroots political support needed to challenge Steven Horsford in the general election.”
“Our wide base of support shows Nevada’s 4th Congressional District is eager to elect a Republican who is a young, female, minority, business leader to Congress. The community is tired of career politicians running for office in districts they don’t care about,” Sutton continued. “I’m here to show the community, and Washington, that I will outwork career politician Steven Horsford, and take back Nevada’s 4th Congressional district.”
Sutton&#8217;s campaign noted that since she announced her candidacy in July 2019, &#8220;Sutton raised $107,998 in money and in-kind donations, plus a personal contribution of $20,000, for a total of $127,998 in campaign receipts in her first quarter of declaring. Her campaign has raised money from nearly 200 individual donors throughout Nevada and across the country, showing widespread support for her candidacy.&#8221;
&#8220;Sutton’s support ranges from traditional Nevada Republican donors, to first-time federal campaign donors,&#8221; the statement concluded. &#8220;The average small-dollar online donation was $58. This wide range of support shows her campaign is able to bring new donors to the Republican party. Her ability to expand beyond the traditional base of supporters and win over a majority-minority house district are anchors to Sutton’s success.&#8221;
Sutton, whose father is a Vietnam veteran and mother is a Korean immigrant, told The Daily Wire in an interview last month that small business, cutting regulations, the U.S. military, immigrant enforcement, border security, and the Second Amendment were among the issues that were the most important to her.
&#8220;Politics was never in the plan for me. I have previously been focused on my companies and community work,&#8221; Sutton told The Daily Wire. &#8220;However, when I opened the second location of my shipping store last year, I saw how much need was in the community. People have no access to basic amenities, like grocery stores. Veterans aren’t being served, and the community is forgotten.&#8221;
&#8220;This area in the District opened my eyes to a larger problem: communities not being served by career politicians,&#8221; Sutton continued. &#8220;This, coupled with my own examination of our state representatives, and realizing that we don’t have a voice for business owners, we don’t have a voice for millennials, and we don’t have a voice of someone actually engaged in the community, I knew I had to step up.&#8221;

Former Rep. Beto O&#8217;Rourke (D-TX) defended his oft-used analogies comparing President Donald Trump and his administration to Adolf Hitler&#8217;s Nazi Germany amid widespread criticism.
&#8220;It is the comparison of last resort and that is where we are,&#8221; O&#8217;Rourke replied when CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer questioned if he understood the backlash coming from Democrats and Republicans alike.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t mean the last resort politically or last resort in terms of defeating the president in November,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;[I mean] the last resort for this country that is descending into open racism and intolerance and violence led by the president.&#8221;
&#8220;Now, whether it is what he said about Muslims or immigrants or the way he treats women of color in this country, or the fact that he described Klansman and Neo-Nazis as very fine people, we can&#8217;t fail to connect the dots and draw the conclusion about the danger that President Trump poses to this country,&#8221; O&#8217;Rourke added, citing a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/beto-distorts-trumps-words-to-compare-his-presidency-to-the-third-reich-again">distorted statement</a> that the president made while condemning a group of white supremacists at a white pride rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

BETO on comparing Trump to Hitler: “Find me a better analogy”

While O&#8217;Rourke has been a longtime critic of Trump, his racial allegations toward the president significantly ramped up following a deadly mass shooting that occurred in O&#8217;Rourke&#8217;s hometown of El Paso, Texas, earlier in the summer.
Just hours after the shooting was carried out, the former Texas congressman appeared on multiple news programs accusing Trump of being a &#8220;white supremacist&#8221; and &#8220;avowed racist&#8221; who incited the mass murders.
O&#8217;Rourke, however, has made multiple comparisons between the president and Nazis since launching his bid for the presidency. In late July, he likened Trump&#8217;s campaign rally to a Nuremberg rally and, weeks later, he argued that Trump&#8217;s rhetoric is similar to someone in Nazi Germany&#8217;s Third Reich.
O&#8217;Rourke made waves on Sunday while discussing with MSNBC host Al Sharpton the White House response to Turkey&#8217;s invasion of Syria and the decision to host the next G-7 Summit at one of Trump&#8217;s properties.
&#8220;President Trump, perhaps inspired by [Nazi Minister of Propaganda Joseph] Goebbels and the propagandists of the Third Reich, seems to employ this tactic that the bigger the lie, the more obscene the injustice,&#8221; O&#8217;Rourke said at the time. &#8220;The more dizzying the pace of this bizarre behavior, the less likely we are to be able to do something about it.&#8221;
The response even caught Sharpton off-guard, who then asked the Democratic presidential candidate if he heard him correctly.
&#8220;That&#8217;s right. There&#8217;s so much that is resonant of the Third Reich in this administration, whether it is attempting to ban all people of one religion and saying that Muslims are somehow inherently dangerous or defective or disqualified,&#8221; O&#8217;Rourke said. &#8220;Outside of Nazi Germany, it&#8217;s hard for me to find another modern democracy that had the audacity to say something like this.&#8221;
&#8220;Then, this idea from Goebbels and Hitler that the bigger the lie and the more often you repeat it, the more likely people are to believe it,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;That is Donald Trump to a T.&#8221;
O&#8217;Rourke subsequently doubled down on his remarks when confronted by Blitzer on the inflammatory statements.
&#8220;Is that not going too far to make a comparison between the President of the United States and the Nazis?&#8221; Blitzer asked.
&#8220;Find me a better analogy of another leader of a western democracy describing all people of one religion as inherently defective, or disqualified, or dangerous,&#8221; O&#8217;Rourke replied. &#8220;That is what the president has done when it came to Muslims.&#8221;
&#8220;Seeking to ban all Muslims from this country, repeating the lie that Mexican immigrants pose a violent risk to this country &#8212; calling them animals and predators and rapists and criminals,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Asking four women of color elected by constituents to Congress to go back to their home country, and having an almost Nuremberg-like rally where people are chanting &#8216;send her back,&#8217; or inviting the kind of violence based on the racism that he&#8217;s inspired, where you have another crowd cheering when someone says &#8216;shoot them&#8217; when the president asks &#8216;what do we do about the immigrants?'&#8221;
&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t just offend our sensibilities, it poses a violent risk to our fellow Americans,&#8221; O&#8217;Rourke added.

On Monday, a jury ruled against a Texas father, Jeffrey Younger, attempting to stop his seven-year-old son from a gender transition being facilitated by Dr. Anne Georgulas, the boy&#8217;s mother and Younger&#8217;s ex-wife.
&#8220;With a consensus of 11 of the 12 jurors, the jury decided not to grant Mr. Younger Sole Managing Conservatorship over his two twin boys,&#8221; <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-jury-rules-against-dad-trying-to-save-his-7-year-old-from-gender-transition">LifeSiteNews</a> reported Monday. &#8220;They voted that the current Joint Managing Conservatorship should be replaced by a Sole Managing Conservatorship, but that Mr. Younger should not be that person.&#8221;
According to the LifeSiteNews, Georgulas has been granted authority to move forward with <a href="https://www.acpeds.org/chemical-castration-not-the-best-for-children">puberty blockers</a>, which can cause chemical castration, and, potentially, hormones, if she so chooses.
According to reporting from <a href="https://thetexan.news/dallas-custody-battle-over-alleged-transgender-seven-year-old-will-resume-next-week/">The Texan</a>, Georgulas&#8217; lawyers Jessica Janicek and Laura Hayes said the mother does not plan on giving James hormone blockers at this time. However, &#8220;no one has stated that she (Georgulas) would not be open to using them when James begins puberty,&#8221; which would be around age 11 and a half for a boy, the report said.
Additionally, with the jury&#8217;s decision, Mr. Younger will likely be forced to &#8220;affirm&#8221; his son&#8217;s new gender identity: a girl named &#8220;Luna.&#8221;
​&#8221;I want you to imagine having electronic communication with your son on FaceTime, and imagine that your ex-wife has dressed him as a drag queen to talk to you,” Younger <a href="https://lukemacias.com/afathersfight/">told</a> host Luke Macias during an episode of “The Luke Macias Show&#8221; podcast in January. “He has false eyelashes and makeup. His hair has got glitter in it. He’s wearing a dress.”
“Now imagine how you would feel seeing what I believe is actual sexual abuse — I believe this is not just emotional abuse but is the very, most fundamental form of sexual abuse, tampering with the sexual identity of a vulnerable boy,” the father continued.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/38728/mom-says-6-year-old-son-transgender-dad-disagrees-amanda-prestigiacomo">reported</a> by The Daily Wire in November, court documents show that Younger’s son only dresses as a girl when he’s with his mother, who calls the boy by his trans name and has even enrolled James as “Luna” in school. According to Younger, however, James consistently chooses to wear boy’s clothes, “violently refuses to wear girl’s clothes at my home,” and identifies as a boy whenever he is around him.
James’ mother has accused Younger of child abuse in their divorce proceedings “for not affirming James as transgender” and is looking to strip the dad of his parental rights, <a href="http://thefederalist.com/2018/11/26/mom-dresses-six-year-old-son-girl-threatens-dad-losing-son-disagreeing/">reported</a> The Federalist. Georgulas is also seeking to force Younger to foot the bill for James’ visits to a transgender-affirming therapist and transgender medical alterations, which may include “chemical castration” two years from now, when the child is just eight.
The boy, according to Younger, has already been fully “socially transitioned.”
“[James] wears a dress at her (his ex-wife’s) home; he has a new made-up name, Luna – it appears in the court filings. He goes to school; the teachers call him ‘Luna.’ He uses the girl’s bathroom at school. All of his authority figures – his mother, his teacher, the librarian at school, the police officer at school, the principal at school – tell him he’s a girl. I’m the only authority figure in his life that tells him the truth; that he’s actually a boy,” Younger noted during the podcast.
The father noted that, in his opinion, he witnessed that his wife “was only giving [James] love and affection when he was acting like a girl.” She used to lock James in his room and tell him monsters only eat boys, Younger added.
“Every. Single. Day. You have to see your son sexually abused, and you have to maintain your calm,” the Texas father continued, “because the courts are not going to be fair to you. And the only way you can survive this and get your son through this alive is to calmly allow your son to be tortured right before your eyes and outlast the opposition. That’s what it’s like.”
“They’re asking me to affirm a delusion,” he said.

According to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/ag-barr-expands-controversial-review-origin-russia-investigation-n1068971?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma">NBC News</a>, a review ordered by Attorney General William Barr and conducted by Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham has been expanded &#8220;significantly&#8221; and now includes two high-profile, vocal critics of President Trump that held key positions in the Obama administration: former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan. The review, new developments suggest, could also be morphing into an official criminal investigation.
Citing multiple current and former federal officials, including Brennan himself, NBC reported Saturday that Durham &#8220;has expressed his intent to interview a number of current and former intelligence officials involved in examining Russia&#8217;s effort to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.&#8221; Among the former officials are Clapper, who now works as a national security analyst for CNN, and Brennan, whose security clearance Trump famously <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-revokes-security-clearance-of-former-cia-director-john-brennan/2018/08/15/043b6fc4-a0bb-11e8-8e87-c869fe70a721_story.html">revoked</a> in 2018.
Reports that Barr greenlighted the expansion of Durham&#8217;s investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation began to circulate a few weeks ago, but the specific claim that Clapper and Brennan were of interest appears to be a new detail from NBC&#8217;s sources. Also new is NBC&#8217;s description of the response of CIA analysts reportedly targeted in the review.
&#8220;Durham has also requested to talk to CIA analysts involved in the intelligence assessment of Russia&#8217;s activities, prompting some of them to hire lawyers, according to three former CIA officials familiar with the matter,&#8221; NBC reports, noting that sources say there is &#8220;tension between the CIA and the Justice Department over what classified documents Durham can examine.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/19/us/politics/durham-review-fbi-witnesses.html">The New York Times</a> also revealed some new details about the ongoing review Saturday. Citing unnamed former officials and others familiar with the matter, the Times reports that the federal prosecutors &#8220;have asked witnesses pointed questions about any anti-Trump bias among former F.B.I. officials who are frequent targets of President Trump and about the earliest steps they took in the Russia inquiry.&#8221;
Thus far, according to the Times&#8217; sources, Durham&#8217;s team has interviewed about two dozen current and former FBI officials, while two senior FBI officials are assisting in the process. &#8220;The number of interviews shows that Mr. Durham’s review is further along than previously known,&#8221; the Times notes.
As for the expansion of the probe, NBC reports that Barr has given Durham the go-ahead to expand both his staff and the timeframe he can examine, which now includes &#8220;conduct past Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration in January 2017.&#8221; NBC also notes suggestively that DOJ officials would offer no comment when asked if the review has &#8220;morphed&#8221; into a criminal investigation.
The initial investigation into Russian interference, headed up by then-FBI Director James Comey, eventually led to the special investigation into collusion and obstruction headed up by Robert Mueller. But after two years and over $30 million spent on the effort, Mueller&#8217;s exhaustive report concluded that &#8220;the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.&#8221;
As for alleged obstruction of justice by Trump, the special counsel came to no conclusion at all, stating &#8220;while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him&#8221; &#8212; a non-conclusion met with much criticism from both sides.
The DOJ&#8217;s review of the roles of various FBI and CIA officials in the origins of the Russia probe in a sense flips the focus of the initial investigation, looking not at Trump and his associates but at those who allegedly helped promote what Mueller determined to be the evidence-less &#8220;collusion&#8221; narrative.

President Donald Trump slammed Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney on Monday while talking to the press about the Democrat party, saying that the Democrats &#8220;don’t have people like&#8221; Romney who go against the party.
&#8220;You said that Republicans need to get tougher and fight,&#8221; a reporter said to Trump. &#8220;What are you talking about, Mr. President?&#8221;
&#8220;Well, I think the Democrats fight dirty. I think the Democrats are lousy politicians with lousy policy,&#8221; Trump responded. &#8220;They want open borders. They don’t care about crime. They want sanctuary cities. They don’t care about drugs. They don’t care about almost anything. They don’t care about USMCA.&#8221;
&#8220;I think they&#8217;re lousy politicians. But two things they have: They&#8217;re vicious and they stick together,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;They don’t have Mitt Romney in their midst. They don’t have people like that. They stick together. You never see them break off.  You never see somebody go out and [do their own thing].&#8221;
Trump&#8217;s shot at Romney comes a day after a report revealed that Romney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-total-loser-romney-mocked-after-using-secret-twitter-account-to-defend-himself-report-suggests">used a secret Twitter account to defend himself from criticism online</a>. Romney later  confirmed that the account, which was named Pierre Delecto, belonged to him.

Trump went on to hammer the Democrats&#8217; attempts to impeach him and the conduct of Democrat House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff.
&#8220;This thing is all about a letter that was perfect. You never hear [about] the letter anymore. It was all about whistleblowers,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;You never hear &#8212; what happened to the whistleblowers?  They&#8217;re gone, because they&#8217;ve been discredited.  What happened to the informant? And where&#8217;s the IG?  Why didn&#8217;t the IG read the letter, read the transcript? I would have declassified it for him, if I had to do that. Why didn’t he read this and then see that the whistleblower&#8217;s account was totally different than the letter? Then he would&#8217;ve said, &#8216;Oh, there&#8217;s no problem here.&#8217; The whistleblower gave a false account.&#8221;
&#8220;So do we have to protect somebody that gave a totally false account of my conversation?&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;Do we have to protect the informant? Now, I happen to think there probably wasn’t an informant. You know, the informant went to the whistleblower, the whistleblower had second- and third-hand information. You remember that.  It was a big problem.&#8221;
&#8220;But the information was wrong. So was there actually an informant? Maybe the informant was Schiff,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;It could be Shifty Schiff. In my opinion, it&#8217;s possibly Schiff. Why didn’t Schiff say that he and his staff, or his staff, or a whole group &#8212; why didn&#8217;t he say that he met with the whistleblower? He knew all about the whistleblower. Why didn’t he say?&#8221;
&#8220;He&#8217;s a crooked politician. Very bad for our country. This whole thing is very bad for our country,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;In the midst of that, I&#8217;m trying to get out of wars. But we may have to get into wars too.  We may have to get into wars. We&#8217;re better prepared than we&#8217;ve ever been. If Iran does something, they&#8217;ll be hit like they&#8217;ve never been hit before. I mean, we have things that we&#8217;re looking at.&#8221;
&#8220;But can you imagine I have to fight off these &#8212; these lowlives at the same time I&#8217;m negotiating these very important things that should&#8217;ve been done during Obama and Bush and even before that,&#8221; Trump concluded. &#8220;So that’s where we are right now.&#8221;

Trump Unloads On Romney For Basically Being Worse Than A Democrat

Singer Miley Cyrus stoked the ire of the LGBT community for seeming to suggest that homosexuality is a choice in a recent video telling women they &#8220;don&#8217;t have to be gay&#8221; so long as they find the right man.
Needless to say, Cyrus has had a tumultuous year. After divorcing actor Liam Hemsworth less than nine months into their marriage, she embarked on a sexual fling with Brody Jenner&#8217;s ex-wife, Kaitlynn Carter, before finally settling down with model and singer Cody Simpson. Speaking to her 100 million followers on Instagram as Cody Simpson laughed along on Sunday night, Cyrus told women to keep themselves open to good men.
“There are good men out there, guys, don’t give up. You don’t have to be gay, there are good people with dicks out there, you’ve just got to find them,” Cyrus said, as reported by <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/miley-cyrus-women-gay-right-man_n_5dadb4f2e4b0f34e3a7965ae">HuffPost</a>. “You’ve got to find a dick that’s not a dick, you know? I always thought I had to be gay because I thought all guys were evil, but it’s not true. There are good people out there that just happen to have dicks. I’ve only ever met one, and he’s on this live.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The video message did not go over well with Miley&#8217;s fans, who immediately roasted her on social media. It should be noted here, however, that Cyrus came out as &#8220;pansexual&#8221; in 2015, which means somebody who swings all ways.
&#8220;Miley, this is so not it. Women don’t &#8216;have to be gay&#8217; because they &#8216;can’t find a good person with a d*ck,'&#8221; tweeted Rosie Percy. &#8220;Don’t use the queer community as a stop-gap because you couldn’t find a boyfriend. People aren’t queer because they &#8216;gave up&#8217; on men. This is so insulting.&#8221;
&#8220;Damn. In 30 seconds [Miley Cyrus] managed to burn up all goodwill she&#8217;d ever built with queer and trans people. Not all &#8216;guys&#8217; have dicks, Miley. Thought you knew better,&#8221; tweeted one user. &#8220;You &#8216;had to be gay&#8217; because men are bad? Do you not realize what an anti-lesbian trope that is? Gross.&#8221;
After enough backlash, Miley Cyrus clarified in an Instagram post on Monday that she does not believe that people choose their sexuality.
“Let me be clear,” she wrote on Instagram Stories, “YOU don’t CHOOSE your sexuality. You are born as you are. It has always been my priority to protect the LGBTQ community I am a part of. Happy Monday!”
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth&#8217;s divorce reached a fever pitch in August when allegations surfaced that she cheated on him. In a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/miley-cyrus-says-she-never-cheated-liam-hemsworth-paul-bois">fiery post on Twitter</a>, she rejected that assertion.
“I can accept that the life I’ve chosen means I must live completely open and transparent with my fans who I love, and the public, 100% of the time. What I cannot accept is being told I’m lying to cover up a crime I haven’t committed. I have nothing to hide,” she said. “It is no secret that I was into partying in my teens and early 20’s. I have not only smoked, but advocated for weed, I’ve experimented with drugs, my biggest song to date is about dancing on molly and snorting lines in the bathroom.”

On this week’s episode of “The Ben Shapiro Show: Sunday Special,” the Daily Wire editor-in-chief talks to Dana Perino, former White House Press Secretary in the George W. Bush administration, about the competing narratives surrounding the 2016 election. Video and partial transcript below: 
SHAPIRO: What the hell happened in 2016? Because you have a bunch of competing sort of narratives about what happened in 2016. On the Right, you have this narrative that President Trump put together his brand new coalition that had never been done before, driving people out to vote like no one in history. And on the Left, you have this idea that President Trump stole the election, and that truly Hillary Clinton was just sort of a failure at recreating the coalition of Barack Obama, but that the new normal is Obama&#8217;s coalition and Trump is an outlier. How do you analyze?
PERINO: I&#8217;m definitely with the former. I think the latter is really dangerous for Democrats. If [they] think that, they&#8217;re going to lose again.
I&#8217;m also troubled by this notion that you have Democrats, and many women Democrats, saying you can&#8217;t put a woman up in 2020 because a woman just can&#8217;t beat President Trump because [they just] know America is not ready to vote for a woman. Wait, Hillary actually won the popular vote. She screwed up her strategy in three states. 
So, I feel like all this women&#8217;s empowerment nonsense that you hear from Democrats basically saying, &#8216;Oh, we actually, we can&#8217;t beat them.&#8217; I actually think that the popular vote might not be achievable for President Trump, although he&#8217;s giving it a shot &#8212; going to New Mexico, going to California &#8212; he can increase those vote totals there even if he doesn&#8217;t win those states. Let&#8217;s say New Mexico might be in the cards. California obviously is not, but if you can increase the number of people that vote for you and improve on the popular vote, that would be something. 
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2128&amp;v=L4dXFcam3CQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2128&amp;v=L4dXFcam3CQ</a>
I also think that Americans were much more ready for change than traditional politicians or political observers thought. They were much more comfortable with it. They had had it. I&#8217;m very interested in the voters that voted for, well, Obama and then [for] Trump. I don&#8217;t feel like the Democrats have done anything to win back those votes. 
I feel like their economic arguments are pretty poor, and I remember Mitch McConnell saying on air at the [first] State of the Union, after Trump wins, after that first year of his presidency. Like, Dana, look at this list. Look at all these things, and in any Republican administration, if you didn&#8217;t know who the president was, would Republicans be pleased? 
The answer is arguably yes. From judges and policy deregulation, all of these things have made sense. I also think that Republicans are quite lucky that President Trump decided to go with them, right? Because had he thought that there was an opportunity and the timing was right, he could have steamrolled over the Democratic Party as well. 
Well, now he&#8217;s doing that. He did it with the Republicans, and now he&#8217;s doing it with them. 
I did recognize about two years ago, I said, they&#8217;re gonna come after the Electoral College. This is going to be the new thing. Even though Obama won the Electoral College, they never talked about it again. But now they try to say that it&#8217;s racist, that it&#8217;s unfair. And I said on Tucker Carlson’s Show: Watch, they&#8217;re going to come for the Electoral College. It won&#8217;t happen in our lifetime, but it is under threat.

Dana Perino To Shapiro: The Left Will Come For The Electoral College

Ben Shapiro

Dana Perino

Electoral College

In an email sent Monday afternoon, Kennesaw State University Professor Jalessah Jackson told the students of her Gender Studies &#8220;Love and Sex&#8221; class that she is relocating that evening&#8217;s class and approaching it in a different &#8220;format&#8221; than usual. The new location? The Campus Green. The new format? A protest against bestselling author and Daily Wire podcast host Michael Knowles. The students are &#8220;expected to be present&#8221; at the protest of the mainstream conservative, Jackson asserts in the email.
In the email to her students, a screenshot of which was published Monday by <a href="https://www.yaf.org/news/kennesaw-state-professor-takes-love-and-sex-gender-studies-class-on-field-trip-to-protest-michael-knowles/">Young America&#8217;s Foundation</a> (the organization sponsoring Knowles&#8217; appearance on campus), Prof. Jackson begins by pulling almost word for word from an announcement posted on Facebook earlier by progressive activist groups providing details about the protest ahead of Knowles speech.
&#8220;Dear Students,&#8221; the email reads. &#8220;I am emailing to inform you all of today&#8217;s class format and meeting space. KSU Young Americans for Freedom will be hosting a transphobic [event] today, Monday, Oct 21 called &#8216;Men are not Women&#8217; with Michael Knowles, who has been known for his racist and transphobic comments. You may know him as the man who was recently banned from Fox News for calling Greta Thunberg a &#8216;mentally ill Swedish child&#8217;.&#8221;
Jackson goes on to inform the class that they are &#8220;expected to be present&#8221; at the protest event.
&#8220;As a class, we will be coming out to support trans students at KSU. We want to communicate to the campus and broader community that transgender people have advocates on campus who support them and their right to exist,&#8221; she continues, again drawing almost verbatim from portions of the progressive activist group&#8217;s earlier announcement.
&#8220;Although the event is 4-7 pm, you all will be expected to be present during class time 5:00-6:15pm,&#8221; she writes. &#8220;However, feel free to come early and stay the entire time.&#8221;
&nbsp;
<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-30834 lazyloaded" src="https://www.yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_7519-548x1024.jpg" alt="" width="548" height="1024" data-lazy-src="https://www.yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_7519-548x1024.jpg" data-was-processed="true" />
Forcing students to attend a protest is obviously a violation of the First Amendment and far oversteps any reasonable school policy on employee advocacy of a political view or cause.
Called out for the apparent coercion of students to protest another student group&#8217;s event, Jackson seem to contradict her assertion that students would be &#8220;expected to be present during class time,&#8221; insisting to Young America&#8217;s Foundation that students would not be &#8220;penalized for not attending.&#8221;
&#8220;Attendance will not be taken for today’s class,&#8221; Jackson told YAF. &#8220;As a result, students not in attendance will not be penalized for not attending.&#8221;
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/michael-knowles-men-are-not-women-speech-protested-by-ksu-progressives">The Daily Wire</a> reported earlier Monday, the protest of Knowles&#8217; speech was organized over the weekend by progressive student activist groups Kennesaw State United and Kennesaw Pride. Below is the full text of the announcement of the protest, some of the language of which Jackson heavily borrowed in her highly problematic email to her Gender Studies students:
<blockquote>Stand with the Transgender Community: Educating the Campus on Trans Issues &amp; Identities
KSU Young Americans for Freedom will be hosting a transphobic event this Monday, Oct 21 called “Men are not Women” with Michael Knowles, who has been known for his racist and transphobic comments. You may know him as the man who was recently banned from Fox News for calling Greta Thunberg a “mentally ill Swedish child”.
Our campus continues to be a hostile and dehumanizing environment for marginalized people, while the university protects hate and allows it to proliferate.
This event will be peaceful to ensure the safety of trans people on campus as historically KSU has not acted to protect marginalized people. The campus climate is very hostile and we don’t want to ignite more hate against the trans community. Please be mindful of the effects of your actions on the campus LGBTQ community.
We’ll be coming out to educate the campus on transgender issues and identities. We want to communicate to the campus and broader community that transgender people have advocates on campus who support them and their right to exist.
The event begins at 4:00pm on the Campus Green. We’ll be handing out information and speaking with passerbys about LGBTQ issues, addressing transphobic misconceptions, and educating people about the effects of hate speech on marginalized communities. People are welcome to bring blankets, snacks, Pride flags, signs, balls, bubbles, or any other material that contribute to our mission and makes the space more comfortable. NO AMPLIFIED SOUND (megaphones or speakers) or STAKES IN THE GROUND.
The demonstration will begin at 6pm and consists of a few speakers sharing their perspectives and experience. Again, signs and flags can be used. We’ll occupy the space without being too loud, rambunctious, or anything that will alert KSU police or dilute our positive message of education and goal of protecting the trans community from increased hate.
There is a possibility that transphobes, white supremacists, and others may approach. If approached, please minimize your interactions with them for your own safety and everybody else’s. If you’re comfortable, however, you may engage in productive conversation away from others as to not disrupt the positive space.
At 7pm, Young American for Freedom’s event will start. Although we have no plans to enter or disrupt the event, for those who decide on their own to enter the event, please be aware of the impact of your actions on the transgender community. Outbursts or combative behavior can be used against us by these groups to further marginalize trans people and incite transphobia.
For everyone involved in our efforts, please defer to KPA and KSUnited for guidance on conduct.
Please contact us if you have any questions.</blockquote>

Progressivism

Top Republicans in Washington, D.C., and right-wing media personalities have started to sour on Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for not using his power as chairman to call for public hearings to get to the bottom of how the Russia investigation started and for not calling on Kurt Volker, former U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine, to testify in front of the committee while Democrats in the House push for impeachment.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) called out Graham during an interview Monday evening on Fox News over Graham&#8217;s inaction.
&#8220;Senator Graham has the power, he&#8217;s the chairman of a powerful committee, the Judiciary Committee, and yes, I&#8217;ve encouraged him publicly and privately to do this,&#8221; Paul said. &#8220;He needs to go ahead and exercise his power, we&#8217;ve been waiting a long time on this.&#8221;
&#8220;A lot of us want to see it get started, we want to see subpoenas, and we don&#8217;t want to see everything done in secret on the House side and then they parse out what they want to parse out,&#8221; Paul added. &#8220;Most of those people that are testifying over there could easily be asked to testify over here.&#8221;
Fox News&#8217; Tucker Carlson also highlighted multiple promises that Graham has made on cable news but has not followed through on.

Paul was not the only top Republican to call out Graham on Monday over his inaction.
&#8220;Since Republicans don’t control the House, Senator Graham is in a unique position to call hearings, collect documents, and bring in witnesses on a range of important issues—FISA abuse, impeachment-related issues like Ukrainian election meddling, etc,&#8221; a top House GOP source told The Daily Wire. &#8220;He talks a lot on TV about taking action, but he never actually does anything, and Republicans realize that. It’s a shame because he could really make a difference if he actually did some work.&#8221;
Former White House officials and sources close to Graham also told The Daily Wire that they were becoming increasingly angered by Graham&#8217;s inaction.
&#8220;I’m deeply disappointed in Lindsey,&#8221; a former senior White House official told The Daily Wire. &#8220;I always thought he was someone you could count on, he sure proved me wrong.&#8221;
&#8220;I never knew him to be the type to make empty promises, especially when the stakes are so high,&#8221; a source close to Graham told The Daily Wire. &#8220;I am sick of walking around town making excuses for him.&#8221;
Trump called out Republicans on Monday while speaking to reporters, saying: &#8220;Republicans have to get tougher and fight.&#8221;
&#8220;We have some that are great fighters, but they have to get tougher and fight because the Democrats are trying to hurt the Republican Party for the election, which is coming up, where we’re doing very well,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;I think the Democrats fight dirty. I think the Democrats are lousy politicians with lousy policy.”
“They want open borders. They don’t care about crime. They want sanctuary cities. They don’t care about drugs,&#8221; Trump added. They don’t care about almost anything. They don’t care about USMCA.”
Trump then <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-unloads-on-romney-for-basically-being-worse-than-a-democrat">took a shot</a> at weak Republicans, like Senator Mitt Romney (UT), for not sticking with the party when the going gets tough.
“[Democrats have] two things they have: They’re vicious and they stick together,” Trump said. “They don’t have Mitt Romney in their midst. They don’t have people like that. They stick together. You never see them break off. You never see somebody go out and [do their own thing].”
Trump&#8217;s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., also called out Graham on Twitter, writing: &#8220;Paging <a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1n1174f r-1loqt21 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/LindseyGrahamSC" data-focusable="true">@LindseyGrahamSC</a>.

Top Republicans Sour On Lindsey Graham: ‘He Never Actually Does Anything’

Rand Paul

Democrat presidential candidate Robert Francis &#8220;Beto&#8221; O&#8217;Rourke repeatedly suggested on Sunday during an MSNBC interview that President Donald Trump was inspired by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and misrepresented Trump&#8217;s previous statements and policies.
&#8220;President Trump, perhaps inspired by Goebbels and the propagandists of the Third Reich, seems to employ this tactic that the bigger the lie, the more obscene the injustice, the more dizzying the pace of this bizarre behavior, the less likely we are to be able to do something about it,&#8221; O&#8217;Rourke said.
Moments later, Al Sharpton, apparently surprised by O&#8217;Rourke&#8217;s comments, sought to make sure that he heard O&#8217;Rourke correctly.
&#8220;Did I hear you correctly say that perhaps [Trump] was influenced by Goebbels and the Third Reich in terms of telling a big lie?&#8221; Sharpton asked. &#8220;I just want to make sure that&#8217;s what I heard you say.&#8221;
&#8220;That&#8217;s right,&#8221; O&#8217;Rourke responded.
&#8220;There is so much that is resonant of the Third Reich in this administration, whether it is attempting to ban all people of one religion and saying that Muslims are somehow inherently dangerous or defective or disqualified,&#8221; O&#8217;Rourke claimed.
&#8220;The things that he says about immigrants committing crimes, being rapists, being predators, and animals, seeking to dehumanize them, that&#8217;s how we get them in cages,&#8221; O&#8217;Rourke continued.
O&#8217;Rourke falsely claimed that Trump called  &#8220;white supremacists and neo-Nazis and Klansmen ‘very fine people’&#8221; and then blamed Trump for the tragedy in the El Paso, Texas, Walmart earlier this year.

Many of O&#8217;Rourke&#8217;s claims were categorically false.
Trump never called Muslims &#8220;defective&#8221; or &#8220;disqualified,&#8221; <a href="https://www.politifact.com/virginia/statements/2016/aug/08/tim-kaine/tim-kaine-falsely-says-trump-said-all-mexicans-are/">nor did he</a> call all immigrants &#8220;rapists&#8221; as O&#8217;Rourke suggested.
&#8220;When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://time.com/3923128/donald-trump-announcement-speech/">said</a>. &#8220;They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.&#8221;
While his remarks certainly caused controversy, it&#8217;s important to note that Trump did differentiate between those who were criminals and those immigrants who &#8220;are good people.&#8221;
Trump&#8217;s comments are also not completely without merit.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) <a href="https://www.ice.gov/doclib/about/offices/ero/pdf/eroFY2018Report.pdf">reported</a> that for Fiscal Year 2018, the agency arrested more than 105,000 convicted criminal illegal aliens which had convictions for:
<ul>
<li>55,109 illegal alien convictions for dangerous drugs</li>
<li>54,630 illegal alien convictions for drunk driving</li>
<li>29,987 illegal alien convictions for assault</li>
<li>9,834 illegal alien convictions for burglary</li>
<li>8,094  illegal alien convictions for weapon offenses</li>
<li>4,975 illegal alien convictions for sex offenses (not involving assault of commercialized sex)</li>
<li>4,423 illegal alien convictions for robbery</li>
<li>3,740 illegal alien convictions for sexual assault</li>
<li>1,641 illegal alien convictions for homicide</li>
<li>1,294 illegal alien convictions for kidnapping</li>
</ul>
Trump also <a href="https://www.prageru.com/video/the-charlottesville-lie/">never called</a>  &#8220;white supremacists and neo-Nazis and Klansmen &#8216;very fine people.'&#8221; This claim has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/">debunked</a> numerous times, even by people who are highly critical of the president like CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper.
Regarding O&#8217;Rourke&#8217;s claim that the El Paso attacker was inspired by Trump, Washington Examiner columnist Byron York <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/has-anyone-actually-read-the-el-paso-manifesto">writes</a>: &#8220;But the question is, was he inspired by President Trump? It is hard to make that case looking at the manifesto in its entirety.&#8221;
York notes that the attacker &#8220;had little use for Republicans&#8221; and &#8220;was most angry about what he had seen in the recent Democratic presidential debates.&#8221;
On Monday, O&#8217;Rourke tripled down on his claim during an appearance on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer,&#8221; telling Blitzer to &#8220;find me a better analogy&#8221; than comparing Trump to Hitler.
O&#8217;Rourke repeated many of the same claims from his MSNBC interview during his interview on CNN.

Robert Francis O&#8217;Rourke Triples Down: Trump Just Like Hitler, Nazi Germany

On Thursday’s episode of “The Michael Knowles Show,” Knowles discusses a conversation between Kim Kardashian and Kayne West, in which the rapper brings up to his wife that it negatively affects him when she wears revealing dresses in public. Video and partial transcript below:  
[Kanye West is a perplexing public figure, who played] himself off as one of the most narcissistic people in politics. He said George Bush doesn&#8217;t care about black people, [which] made him a big Leftist hero. Then Kanye West endorses Donald Trump, hugs him in the Oval Office. Kanye West starts talking about Christianity very seriously, starts reading the Bible seriously, makes an album now called “Jesus is King.”
Kanye West was caught on reality TV telling his wife, Kim Kardashian, that she needs to dress more modestly because she&#8217;s his wife and he loves her and she&#8217;s part of his soul. [He says] when she does that, it hurts his soul. [Now], I count myself in the blessed few Americans who have never seen an episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” but I might start watching. This clip is really, really good for the culture. 
<blockquote>KARDASHIAN: You now say that you&#8217;re not into me wearing a tight dress?
WEST: You are my wife and it affects me when pictures are too sexy … . Corset is like a form of underwear, it’s hot, it’s like, it’s hot for who though?
KARDASHIAN: So like, the night before the Met, you’re going to come in here and say that you’re not into a corset?
WEST: I just feel like I&#8217;ve just went through this transition where — from being a rapper, looking at all these girls and looking at my wife [thinking], Oh my girl needs to be just like the other girls, showing her body off, showing this, showing that, and I didn&#8217;t realize that that was affecting like my soul and my spirit, as someone that&#8217;s married and love and the father of like now about to be four kids. 
NARRATOR: Kim shut that down real quick.
KARDASHIAN: You built me up to be this like sexy person and confidence and all this stuff, and just because you&#8217;re on a journey — and you&#8217;re on your transformation — doesn&#8217;t mean that I&#8217;m in the same spot with you. </blockquote>

This is a tremendous exchange. People are talking about Kanye West&#8217;s new comments on politics, culture, and religion. They&#8217;re speaking about it from a primarily racial perspective, like Blexit and that kind of thing. That is legitimate, sure. I think even more exemplary here is Kanye West, as a millennial — as someone who speaks to millennials and Gen Zers and someone who&#8217;s pretty young himself — Kanye West is coming out of the same culture we all came out of: increasingly irreligious, increasingly uncultured, increasingly shallow politically. And he is going through a transformation because he is learning things, and he&#8217;s learning things on every one of those levels. 
He&#8217;s learning. Oh, hey, maybe the Left isn&#8217;t really helping the black community. Oh, maybe the Left isn&#8217;t really helping anybody. Oh, hey, maybe these conservatives aren&#8217;t so bad after all. Hey, maybe Republicans do care about black people is learning that, and then he&#8217;s learning on the metaphysical level. Oh, maybe life isn&#8217;t all materialistic. Maybe it&#8217;s not all just about appeasing appetites and it&#8217;s not all about a cult of the self. Maybe there&#8217;s a metaphysical universe and a moral order. Maybe there&#8217;s a God. Maybe that God has a personality. Maybe he&#8217;s a real person that we can talk to. Maybe my relationship with my wife is not just a kind of sexy, lustful relationship, maybe that relationship is emblematic of something higher. Maybe the relationship of Christ to his church. Maybe I should privilege modesty over just this kind of material appetite, satisfaction. 
[Kanye] says all of that to her and then her answer is great too, because she said you&#8217;re going through this transformation, but I&#8217;m not where you are necessarily, maybe I&#8217;m a little behind where you are. 
I love it, it&#8217;s an interaction that the culture is working out right now and Kanye West is a little ahead of the curve, because Kanye West has always been a little ahead of the curve on pop culture. That&#8217;s why he&#8217;s probably the leading pop culture figure in the United States. I think this is a great thing, and we can either react to it by knocking Kanye West for not really knowing everything politically, and not really knowing everything spiritually, and getting some things wrong here in there, or we can react to it with encouragement. 
Because Kanye West is actually asking questions. He&#8217;s curious. He&#8217;s following ideas with some logical rigor, and he&#8217;s leading people back from this brink of cultural destruction — pulling them back a little bit. We can either criticize him for not doing it fast enough or well enough, or we can applaud him for doing it at all. I think it&#8217;s a great thing and I encourage Kanye on his journey.

KNOWLES: Kanye West Demonstrates He&#8217;s Ahead Of The Culture

Last week, House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was hailed a hero by politicos and the news media after a photo made the rounds online showing the top Democrat standing up with her finger pointed at President Trump.
As previously reported by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-sounds-alarm-pelosi-needs-help">The Daily Wire</a>, the photo was taken on Wednesday during a closed-door meeting with Trump regarding Syria. Top Democrats walked out of the meeting after the president allegedly called Pelosi either a &#8220;third-rate politician&#8221; or a &#8220;third grade politician&#8221; &#8212; the exact wording of the alleged put-down is in dispute.
The president posted the photo of Pelosi, captioning it: &#8220;Nervous Nancy&#8217;s unhinged meltdown!&#8221;

Brewer was referring to photo taken of her with the then-president on a tarmac in 2012. Similar to the Pelosi photo, Brewer has her finger pointing at Obama.
&#8220;According to Brewer, the president had objected to her portrayal of him as dismissive and patronizing in her book, &#8216;Scorpions for Breakfast,'&#8221; <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/jan-brewer-slams-media-hypocrites-for-praising-pelosi-finger-pointing-after-scolding-her-for-doing-the-same-to-obama">Fox News</a> reported Monday. &#8220;The cameras caught her waving her finger at Obama, something for which she received a flood of criticism. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/05/opinion/a-deficit-of-dignity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">A New York Times</a> op-ed, for instance, accused Brewer of treating the president &#8216;as if he were some errand boy and not the commander-in-chief.'&#8221;
Alternatively, Democrats and their allies in the news media gushed over the photo of Pelosi and Trump.
For example, columnist and prominent anti-Trump #Resistance figure Bill Kristol posted the photo with the caption, &#8220;OK, maybe I am a feminist.&#8221;

If you didn&#8217;t know any better, you might think this story was destined for the headlines. Red State <a href="https://www.redstate.com/jenvanlaar/2019/10/18/ca-rep.-katie-hill-allegedly-involved-female-staffer-2-yr-throuple-relationship">reports</a> that prominent Democrat congresswoman Katie Hill allegedly had a prolonged sexual relationship with a young female staffer. As the story goes, Hill and her now-estranged husband were involved in a &#8220;throuple&#8221; relationship with the 22-year-old staffer, who was just out of college when she began working with, and allegedly dating, the congresswoman.
Making the whole thing even stranger and more salacious, various photos have surfaced, including one that appears to show a nude Hill brushing the hair of a young woman (presumably the staffer). Red State also has text messages between the woman and Hill, in which Hill explained why she wanted to end the relationship. She appears to admit in the exchange that part of the reason is the political risk. Hill and her husband allegedly became estranged after the revelation of another alleged affair with a different member of her staff. Hill was supposedly sexually involved with her finance director even while she was in a relationship with the 22-year-old staffer.
Now, is any of this relevant to the public or is it all just fit for the tabloids? Well, as Red State points out, Hill is a U.S. Representative on two important congressional committees. Her alleged propensity for sleeping with her staff, and allowing photos to be taken, opens her up to blackmail, which could become a national security risk. Furthermore, all kinds of ethical (and maybe legal) boundaries are potentially crossed when politicians employ and pay their sex partners. These two factors alone make it a newsworthy story.
Perhaps even more to the point, though, is the power dynamic at work here. We have been repeatedly told by the Me Too movement that sexual relationships between a boss and a subordinate are inappropriate, immoral, and potentially tantamount to rape, because of the imbalance of power between the two partners. The subordinate can too easily be manipulated, threatened, and exploited so that consent becomes considerably murkier. I&#8217;m not sure that I fully buy this line of reasoning, personally, but my opinion is irrelevant. The point is that the media and the Left have made their feelings on this subject quite clear. And they have consistently classified relationships like the one between Hill and her staffer as, at a minimum, unethical.
And yet Hill has received almost no condemnation for this. The story has gotten basically no attention. It seems, on the surface, like the kind of thing the media would love to report — sex sells, after all — but they aren&#8217;t coming within 100 miles of this one. The reason for that is apparent, and it only has a little to do with Hill&#8217;s political party.
Obviously, our unabashedly biased media is always going to cut Democrats massive amounts of slack when it comes to sex scandals, and all other types of scandals. But the Me Too hysteria proved that liberals aren&#8217;t fully immune. Plenty of prominent left-wing men were thrown into that bonfire. What grants Hill full immunity is the fact that, in addition to being a Democrat, she is also a woman. More than anything else, it is her gender that saves her from scrutiny.
If there was a photograph floating around of a nude male politician brushing the hair of his young staffer, it would be headline news everywhere. Even if he was a Democrat. We would be told that the image is a disturbing illustration of sexual exploitation in the workplace. The man would be condemned as a creep, a pervert, and a freak. He would be forced to apologize publicly. Then would follow a flurry of additional accusations, as victims — whether real or fake — came out of the woodwork to tell their stories of assault and abuse. By week&#8217;s end, he would have resigned in disgrace. We all know this is how the story would go. Nobody can deny it. We&#8217;ve seen the movie too many times to have any doubts.
Compare that to the reaction to Hill&#8217;s scandal. That should be easy to do because there has been no reaction. No anger. No headlines. No forced apology. No accountability. Nothing. Women just don&#8217;t get in trouble for sexual indiscretions the way men do. And their sex scandals don&#8217;t elicit anywhere close to the same kind of public outrage. Consider the epidemic of female teachers molesting their male students. They might face legal consequences but there has never been, and never will be, the kind of outcry you see towards male sex predators. This is one of the most glaring and enduring double standards in modern American culture. And Katie Hill has allegedly made exorbidant use of it.

YouTube star PewDiePie says he&#8217;s been banned in China and his videos wiped off Chinese sites after he joked about how pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong have been using memes of Winnie the Pooh to mock Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, is the biggest YouTuber in the world with more than 101 million subscribers, but as of Sunday, his channel appears to have been censored by Chinese authorities and removed from the airwaves, according to gaming news site, <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2019/10/21/20924971/pewdiepie-china-ban-felix-kjellberg">Polygon</a>.
Now, the YouTuber says <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HehfOtRbUk">in one of his most recent videos</a>, that if you search &#8220;PewDiePie&#8221; on the Internet in China, it returns zero results.
PewDiePie says he&#8217;s not surprised he&#8217;s been censored; it actually seems as if he&#8217;s wondering why it took so long. In a a video posted to his YouTube account last week, PewDiePie mocks Chinese censors and discusses the recent slate of Chinese &#8220;bannings,&#8221; from South Park to LeBron James to Blizzard&#8217;s decision to ban a player from its Hearthstone game after that player expressed support for the ongoing pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.
&#8220;Obviously China is like that one person on Twitter that can&#8217;t take any criticism and just blocks everyone,&#8221; PewDiePie says in the video.
His most egregious sin, though, may have been laughing at masks worn by students taking part in the Hong Kong demonstrations that meld Xi Jinping with Disney&#8217;s Winnie the Pooh &#8212; a comparison that the Chinese leader dislikes so much, his government has banned any mention of Winnie the Pooh outright inside China. The Chinese even demanded that a recent Disney film, featuring Winnie the Pooh, be censored so as to avoid encouraging dissent, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/christopher-robin-banned-in-china-reportedly-because-of-memes-2018-8">according to Business Insider</a>.
In a recent video, PewDiePie points to the memes and notes that the &#8220;resemblance is uncanny&#8221; between the cartoon and the Chinese leader. That appears to have been the last straw for China&#8217;s Internet censors.
&#8220;I’m laughing but, yeah, I’m sorry if you are in China and trying to watch my videos,” PewDiePie says in a video uploaded on Sunday. “That kinda sucks.”
As with electronic music star, DJ Zedd, who was &#8220;banned&#8221; from China last week, it&#8217;s not immediately clear what a complete &#8220;ban&#8221; means for PewDiePie. YouTube isn&#8217;t accessible in China, and most Chinese consumers get their YouTube content &#8212; which would include PewDiePie&#8217;s videos &#8212; from mirror sites or video sites where fans re-upload content they can reach using VPN software that allows them to get around Chinese government firewalls.
In this case, it seems its the reposting that is blocked. Chinese PewDiePie fan confirmed the de facto national ban on Twitter, pointing out that while some PewDiePie videos &#8212; the ones uploaded before last week &#8212; are still accessible to Chinese users, users cannot repost PewDiePie&#8217;s content to Chinese sites after picking it up elsewhere. That, effectively, means that PewDiePie&#8217;s Chinese fans won&#8217;t see any new content, though they may be able to access existing content.

You know, you have about 600000 fans in China. I am one of them. Most of them are reproduced through Chinese video websites, not directly following your YouTube channel.

The Internet personality is using the occasion to promote a VPN network that, presumably, would allow his Chinese fans to bypass the government crackdown.

President Donald Trump doubled down on his defense of Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) on Monday after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seemed to suggest that the Democratic presidential candidate is an asset that the Russians are &#8220;grooming&#8221; in preparation of the 2020 election.
&#8220;Hillary Clinton, I don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;ve heard of her, she&#8217;s the one accusing everybody of being a Russian agent,&#8221; Trump told reporters during a Cabinet meeting. &#8220;Anybody that is opposed to her is a Russian agent &#8212; that&#8217;s a scam that was pretty much put down.&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know Tulsi, but she&#8217;s not a Russian agent,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know Jill Stein. I know she likes the environment. I don’t think she likes Russians. If she does like them, I know she&#8217;s not an asset &#8212; [Clinton] called her an asset of Russia. These people are sick. There&#8217;s something wrong with them.&#8221;
While speaking with President Barack Obama&#8217;s former campaign manager, David Plouffe, during an appearance on his podcast &#8220;Campaign HQ,&#8221; Clinton contended that the Russians &#8220;have got their eye on someone who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate.&#8221;
&#8220;That&#8217;s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she&#8217;s also a Russian asset. Yeah, she&#8217;s a Russian asset, I mean, totally,&#8221; she told Plouffe. &#8220;They know they can&#8217;t win without a third-party candidate. So I don&#8217;t know who it&#8217;s going to be, but I will guarantee you they will have a vigorous third-party challenge in the key states that they most needed.&#8221;
Although Clinton initially refrained from revealing to whom she was talking about, her spokesman Nick Merrill later confirmed that it was, in fact, Gabbard. When asked if Clinton was referring to Gabbard, Merrill replied, &#8220;if the nesting doll fits.&#8221;
Gabbard swiftly fired back at the twice failed presidential candidate, calling her the &#8220;queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party.&#8221; She subsequently accused Clinton of launching a &#8220;concerted campaign&#8221; to smear the Hawaii congresswoman&#8217;s reputation and further challenged her to jump into the 2020 race for a third time.
&#8220;So now Crooked Hillary is at it again! She is calling Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard &#8216;a Russian favorite,&#8217; and Jill Stein &#8216;a Russian asset,'&#8221; Trump tweeted on Saturday. &#8220;As you may have heard, I was called a big Russia lover also (actually, I do like Russian people. I like all people!). Hillary&#8217;s gone Crazy!&#8221;
The president has been embroiled in Democrat-led allegations of having close ties to the Russian Kremlin since before he even took office. Special counsel Robert Mueller kicked off a years-long investigation that ultimately found that Trump&#8217;s 2016 presidential campaign did not conspire or coordinate with the Russian government in its election interference activities.
&#8220;I think that Tulsi Gabbard probably got helped quite a bit by this there. I think we were helped because it shows for two and a half years, we end up winning,&#8221; Trump said on Monday. &#8220;I had to go through two and a half years &#8212; if she would have done this earlier people would have realized what a scam it is. Everybody is a Russian, or a Russian agent, or a Russian asset.&#8221;

Pastor Adam Tyson revealed during a podcast last week that musical talent Kanye West told him he almost stopped rapping soon after being save by God because he thought rap was “the devil’s music.” 
Tyson, the pastor at the California-based Placerita Bible Church that West began attending in mid-May, encouraged the pro-Trump performer to continue with the genre, but to do so in a way that glorifies God. 
“One time, he (West) told me that he wasn’t going to rap,” Tyson told Christian outlet <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&amp;v=YDUmbkdQksU">Apologia</a>, <a href="https://www.xxlmag.com/news/2019/10/kanye-west-considered-quitting-rap-devil-music/">XXL</a> magazine reported. “I said, ‘Why not?’ He said, ‘Well, that’s the devil’s music.’ I said, ‘Hey, man. Rap is a genre. You can rap for God.’ I think he was already thinking about it a little bit, but I just definitely said, ‘Hey, bro. I think you need to use your talents that God’s given you and use that platform for God.’”
West announced Monday that his highly-anticipated “Jesus is King” album is set for release on October 25. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Tyson told Apologia that West was connected to his church through a young couple who knows the rapper and his wife Kim Kardashian. The young man who knows West told Tyson that the artist kept asking him questions about God, some of which he couldn’t answer. Tyson and others at the church prayed for West and suggested the couple invite him to the church, knowing it was a long shot. 
But in May, West started attending Placerita Bible Church and soon revealed to Tyson that he had recently been “radically saved.”
“[Kanye] said, ‘About five weeks ago, I got radically saved,&#8217;” Tyson said, according to XXL. “He just started telling me a little about his testimony.”
According to Tyson, West told him that he was raised as a Christian but began “chasing all the things of this world” after hitting it big in the music industry. “He would say the devil basically brought him to a place where he just felt like he was in bondage to his sin. So he said, ‘I got delivered,'&#8221; Tyson recalled.
As reported by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-kanye-confronts-kim-over-her-sexy-outfits-hurting-his-soul-and-spirit">The Daily Wire</a> last week, West confronted Kardashian over her sexy outfits during a recent episode of E!’s “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” West explained to Kardashian that while he used to think his wife should look like other girls who constantly show off their bodies, he now realizes that Kardashian’s revealing looks are negatively “affecting” his “soul and &#8230; spirit.”
“The corset, underwear, all of that vibe,” West said of Kardashian’s Met Gala dress, “I just feel like I went through this transition from being a rapper, looking at all these girls, and then looking at my wife like, ‘Oh, my girl needs to be just like these other girls, showing her body off, showing this, showing that.’”
“I didn’t realize that that was affecting my soul and my spirit as someone that’s married and loved, the father of what’s about to be four kids,” he continued. “A corset is a form of underwear. It’s hot. It’s like, it’s hot for who though?”
“You are my wife, and it affects me when pictures are too sexy,” West added after Kardashian protested. 
As reported by The Daily Wire in July, West said that his “radical obedience to Christ” helped stabilize his mental health. Moreover, earlier this year, the rap icon created “Sunday Service” events that include gospel music.
“It’s honestly more like a healing experience for my husband. It’s just music; there’s no sermon. It’s definitely something he believes in – Jesus – and there’s a Christian vibe. But there’s no preaching. It’s just a very spiritual Christian experience,” Kardashian told Elle magazine of the services.

In higher education’s ongoing quest to appeal to the “woke” crowd, colleges and universities across the country are now training professors about “inclusive grading” as part of a larger focus on diversity and inclusion.
The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/public-university-tells-professors-not-to-grade-based-on-merit/">reported</a> that Boise State University (BSU) is the latest in a long line of schools to jump on the ‘inclusive grading’ bandwagon. This week, the university is hosting an event called “Inclusive Teaching Means Inclusive Grading, Too.” The event is part of a larger certificate program, called Boise State Uniting for Inclusion and Leadership in Diversity (BUILD).
Information regarding the event could not be accessed, but other events with the same name offered insight into what is now being taught. From the Fix:
<blockquote>BSU’s event has the exact same name as a previous University of Tennessee-Knoxville faculty <a href="https://calendar.utk.edu/event/inclusive_teaching_means_inclusive_grading_practices_too#.XaTOB-dKi_I">workshop</a>. It was aimed to “engage instructors in conversations and activities designed to foreground diversity and inclusion in considerations of assessment and grading practices.”
The University of Michigan held a faculty workshop with a near-identical name as well. The Center for Research on Learning and Teaching <a href="http://crlt.umich.edu/events/inclusive-teaching-means-inclusive-grading-practices-too-inclusive-teaching-michigan-series">stated</a> on its website that attending teachers would “be asked to review their own practices” on grading throughout the event.
This workshop is reminiscent of one <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-seminar-teaches-faculty-not-to-judge-quality-of-writing-when-grading/">held</a> in February at American University, designed to teach faculty “how to assess writing without judging its quality.”
Titled “Grading ain’t just grading” and promising to help teachers rethink “writing assessment ecologies toward antiracist ends,” the workshop <a href="https://edspace.american.edu/ariwa/">warned</a> that “the practices of grading writing” maintained “White language supremacy.”</blockquote>
BSU, the Fix reported, has been on a “woke” kick lately, including hosting a book circle that makes participants “dig deep into ourselves to explore the ways in which we all, as individuals, sometimes unknowingly, support racism and white supremacy.”
The Fix also highlighted other programs coming up as part of the BUILD certification. One workshop is titled “Implicit Bias in the Academic Workplace” and suggests faculty attending reflect on “messages that are fed to us via news and popular culture may cause us to create an inequitable environment.”
Another workshop, titled, “‘Why are You Reacting that Way?’: Unpacking Identity Development &amp; it’s Impact on Interactions in the Classroom &amp; Workplace,” promises to “give participants opportunities to examine the lens they use to interact with others and understand why there is resistance.”
So, it’s now a professor’s responsibility to change their behavior to reduce “resistance” from students? What ever happened to teaching children and young adults how to properly behave?
Another upcoming program asks: “How accessible is your syllabus? That is, to what extent is it able to be used by all intended users, each with differing capabilities?”
Schools across the country have been giving into the woke crowd with increasing frequency. Multiple schools have held “white privilege workshops” designed to teach white people that they are racist and must repent. In <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/huge-university-holds-white-privilege-workshop-joseph-curl">one recent example</a>, the University of North Carolina’s workshop was attended by just nine students.
No subject is safe from the woke brigade, either. In Seattle, curriculum has been proposed that would teach students that math – yes math – <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/seattle-public-schools-teaching-math-ethnic-studies-asks-who-gets-to-say-if-an-answer-is-right">is racist</a>.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) revealed on Saturday that she is open to withholding billions of dollars in military aid to Israel until the government ceases building settlements in the country&#8217;s West Bank.
While speaking to reporters at a campaign stop in Iowa, Warren was asked if she was open to making &#8220;American aid conditional on a freeze to settlement building.&#8221;
&#8220;Right now, [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu says that he is going to take Israel in a direction of increasing settlements, [but] that does not move us toward a two-state solution,&#8221; Warren responded. &#8220;It is the official policy of the United States of America to support a two-state solution, and if Israel is moving in the opposite direction, then everything is on the table.&#8221;
&#8220;Everything is on the table,&#8221; she interrupted as the reporter tried to inquire further.

While virtually all of the candidates in the Democratic presidential primary field have advocated for a two-state solution, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg has been the lone candidate to openly call for making Israeli military aid conditional.
&#8220;A two-state solution that achieves legitimate Palestinian aspirations and meets Israel&#8217;s security needs remains the only viable way forward, and it will be our policy to support such a solution actively,&#8221; Buttigieg said. &#8220;And if Prime Minister Netanyahu makes good on his promise to annex West Bank settlements, he should know that a President Buttigieg would take steps to ensure that American taxpayers won&#8217;t help foot the bill.&#8221;
The Democratic presidential hopeful was <a href="https://www.jns.org/graham-zeldin-slam-buttigieg-for-threat-to-cut-us-aid-over-potential-west-bank-annexation/">subsequently slammed</a> for being especially critical of the Jewish state, one of the United States&#8217; strongest allies, while remaining silent on the terror emanating from Gaza and the West Bank, which are under control of the Palestinian Authority (PA).
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), a fierce critic of Netanyahu, has been especially critical of Israel and its treatment of Palestinians. In August, the socialist lawmaker threatened to withhold billions of dollars in military aid to Israel to combat what he called &#8220;racism&#8221; on behalf of the Jewish state.
While Sanders has recently referred to himself as a &#8220;proud Jewish person,&#8221; the Vermont lawmaker has largely distanced himself from Judaism. Not only does he refrain from observing Jewish customs, he is also not a member of any congregation and doesn&#8217;t attend a synagogue.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not actively involved with organized religion,&#8221; Sanders <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/bernie-sanders-finally-answers-the-god-question/2016/01/26/83429390-bfb0-11e5-bcda-62a36b394160_story.html?postshare=9611453895803704">revealed to reporters</a> in 2016.
Sanders, however, has spoken of his Jewish heritage during his second bid for the presidency, especially when discussing his stance on the U.S.-Israeli alliance and Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
&#8220;I spent a number of months in Israel. I worked on a kibbutz for a while. I have family in Israel. I am not anti-Israel,&#8221; Sanders said in April. &#8220;But the fact of the matter is that Netanyahu is a right-wing politician who I think is treating the Palestinian people extremely unfairly.&#8221;
&#8220;The United States gives billions of dollars in military aid to Israel,&#8221; he added. &#8220;What I believe is not radical. I just believe that the United States should deal with the Middle East on a level playing field basis. In other words, the goal must be to try to bring people together and not just support one country which is now run by a right-wing, dare I say, racist government.&#8221;
