Afghanistan’s government claimed Sunday that it had killed one of al-Qaeda’s top propagandists who was also on the FBI’s most-wanted list.
The Associated Press <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/25/afghanistan-claims-killing-an-al-qaeda-leader-wanted-by-fbi/">reported</a> that the country allegedly killed Husam Abd al-Rauf, also known as Abu Muhsin al-Masri, though details of the killing are sparse.
“Details over the raid that led to al-Rauf’s alleged death remained murky hours after Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security intelligence service claimed on Twitter to have killed him in Ghazni province,” the AP reported. “Al-Qaida did not immediately acknowledge al-Rauf’s reported death. The FBI, the U.S. military and NATO did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Afghan raid happened last week in Kunsaf, a village in Ghazni province’s Andar district some 90 miles southwest of Kabul, two government officials said.”
Al-Rauf’s death comes after “weeks of violence, including a suicide bombing by the Islamic State group Saturday at an education center near Kabul that killed 24 people,” the outlet added.
It is unclear how authorities confirmed al-Rauf’s death or how they learned where he would be at the time of the attack. Amanullah Kamrani, the deputy head of Ghazni’s provincial council, told the AP that Afghan’s special forced raided the village of Kunsaf to kill al-Rauf. Six other suspected militants also died in the raid.
More from the AP:
<blockquote>Kamrani alleged, without providing evidence, that the Taliban had been offering shelter and protection to al-Rauf. The Taliban told the AP on Sunday they are investigating the incident.
If the Taliban had provided protection for al-Rauf that would violate the terms of its Feb. 29 deal with the U.S. that jump-started the Afghan peace talks. That deal saw the Taliban agree “not to cooperate with groups or individuals threatening the security of the United States and its allies,” which includes al-Qaeda.</blockquote>
In a statement, the Afghan presidential palace announced al-Rauf’s death and warned that his position “proved that the threat of terrorism and the Taliban’s links to terrorist networks are still in place.”
“The Taliban should prove to the people, the government of Afghanistan and the international community that they are ending their links with terrorist groups, including al-Qaeda,” the statement added. They “should stop the war and violence and facilitate a dignified and sustainable peace in the country.”
Al-Rauf was also on the FBI’s “Most Wanted Terrorist” list along with 27 others. A warrant for his arrest was issued in December 2018 by federal prosecutors in New York, alleging he had provided support to al-Qaeda and conspired to kill Americans, the AP reported.
“The red-headed al-Rauf, believed to be born in 1958, is an Egyptian national. An al-Qaeda-issued biography said he joined the mujahedeen fighters who battled the Soviet Union in 1986,” the AP reported. “He has served for years as al-Qaida’s media chief, offering audio statements and written articles backing the militant group. After years of remaining silent following the acknowledgement of Taliban founder Mullah Omar’s death, al-Rauf re-emerged in 2018 in an audio statement in which he mocked President Donald Trump and those who preceded him the White House.”

Abortion activists in Poland have been protesting for four days after the country’s constitutional court ruled it unconstitutional to abort a fetus with congenital defects.
The Associated Press <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/25/women-in-poland-gather-at-churches-to-protest-new-restrictive-abortion-law/">reported</a> that the activists protested on Sunday during church services. More than 90% of Poland’s citizens identify as Roman Catholic, and the protesters disrupted Mass in multiple churches by protesting outside with banners. Some protesters entered the churches, the AP reported, including a woman in Warsaw who stood near the altar with a sign reading “Let’s pray for the right to abortion.”
More from the AP:
<blockquote>Women’s Strike, the organizer of the protests, argues that forcing women to give birth to badly deformed fetuses will result in unnecessary physical and mental suffering.
In Otwock, a town near Warsaw, a banner with the slogan “Women’s Hell” was hung on a church fence.
The activists also created posters of a crucified pregnant woman intended for hanging outside churches, according to media reports, though it was not immediately clear how many were hung.</blockquote>
The outlet also reported that Poland’s Health Ministry shows 1,110 legal abortions were performed in Poland last year – most of which were performed due to fetal defects. In Poland, babies now can be aborted only if they were the result of rape or incest, or if the woman’s health is at risk due to the pregnancy.
For critics of widespread abortion, these limitations are seen as keeping the procedure rare. The AP described Poland as having “one of Europe’s most restrictive abortion laws,” declaring the court ruling on Thursday will “result in a near-complete ban on abortion.”
Last year, American pro-life activist Lila Rose tweeted about those who abort babies due to birth defects.
“There is no birth defect, no medical condition, no ‘terminal diagnosis,’ that justifies killing a child before birth,” Rose tweeted. “We will all die one day—death is part of life. We are not promised tomorrow. But it is NEVER our right—or any doctor’s right—to be the one to end an innocent life.”
While abortion activists protest losing their “right” to abort imperfect babies, the genocide of babies with a specific condition &#8212; Down syndrome &#8212; is being practiced in other European countries.
The governments of Denmark and Iceland are trying to eradicate Down syndrome by aborting any baby diagnosed with the condition. In 2017, <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/down-syndrome-iceland/?linkId=40953194">nearly 100%</a> of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome in Iceland were aborted. In Denmark, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/denmark-only-four-down-syndrome-babies-born-2016-paul-bois">just four babies</a> with Down syndrome were able to be born in 2016.
John Franklin Stephens, an actor and activist with Down syndrome who spoke in front of the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2018, said eradicating babies with Down syndrome was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shocking-numbers-down-syndrome-communty-being-frank-camp">just the beginning</a>.
“Finally, we are the canary in the eugenics coal mine. Genomic research is not going to stop at screening for Down syndrome. We have an opportunity right now to slow down and think about the ethics of deciding that certain humans do not get a chance at life,” Stephens said.

The Chicago Teachers Union continues to refuse in-person learning even though evidence suggests schools are not a coronavirus concern.
“Our youngest and most medically vulnerable students deserve safety, yet that is exactly what CPS refuses to take steps to document or guarantee,” CTU Vice President Stacy Davis Gates said Friday, <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-covid-19-cps-union-unfair-labor-charge-20201024-hh7xwlx6nrbe5d2urtrsbsy32y-story.html">according to the Chicago Tribune</a>.
On Wednesday, however, a study of more than 200,000 K-12 students in 47 states revealed an incredibly low rate of coronavirus infection, The Daily Wire’s Emily Zanotti previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-data-from-200000-students-across-47-states-reveals-shockingly-low-covid-case-rate">reported</a>:
<blockquote>The infection rate among staff — a concern cited by teacher’s unions and even parents worried about the effects of a return to a typical format for K-12 education — is also shockingly low, the WSJ notes. A study of staff working in open schools showed a case rate of just .24%.
“A group of researchers, spearheaded by Brown University Professor Emily Oster, have created and made available the most comprehensive database on schools and Covid case rates for students and staff since the pandemic started,” the [WSJ] noted in an opinion piece. “Her data—covering almost 200,000 kids across 47 states from the last two weeks of September—showed a Covid-19 case rate of 0.13% among students and 0.24% among staff. That’s a shockingly and wonderfully low number. By comparison, the current overall U.S. case rate is 2.6%, an order of magnitude higher.”</blockquote>
Despite such evidence, as well as evidence showing children are by far the least vulnerable group when it comes to the coronavirus, the Chicago Teachers Union refuses to even discuss a return to in-person learning, a spokeswoman for Chicago Public Schools said.
“We are disheartened that CTU continues to obstruct and mislead the public about the necessary planning measures needed to prepare for a potential return to safe in-person learning,” said Emily Bolton, spokesman for the CPS district.
“While the district is doing everything in its power to plan for all possible scenarios, the CTU refuses to even discuss a return to in-person learning, even as hundreds of private schools in Chicago are open,” Bolton added. “We don’t know what the health situation will be in a couple of weeks&#8217; time, but it would be irresponsible not to plan ahead while thousands of students miss out on valuable learning.&#8221;
CTU has filed an unfair labor practice charge against CPS, claiming the school district is “illegally refusing to bargain over reopening and safety protocols,” the Tribune reported.
“The latest labor filing demands CTU be allowed to have its own certified industrial hygienists inspect school air quality, and asks the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board to prevent CPS from resuming in-person instruction ‘until the district has bargained in good faith,’” the outlet added.
CTU also filed another unfair labor charge, claiming CPS threatened to not pay employees or possibly discipline them for working from home, even though an arbitration ruling determined they should be able to.

One of the country’s top gun-control groups has fallen far short of its 2020 goal to spend $60 million on the election.
Everytown for Gun Safety, a group founded by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, has only spent $26 million of its $60 million goals, and only has $5 million cash-on-hand, the Washington Free Beacon’s Stephen Gutowski <a href="https://freebeacon.com/2020-election/leading-gun-control-group-abandons-60-million-spending-pledge/">reported</a>. Gutowski viewed Federal Election Commission records from the group, revealing it has spent less than half of its intended goal with just a few weeks to go before the election.
“The <a href="https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00688655/1458884/">latest filing</a> for Everytown&#8217;s super PAC, which has done nearly all of the group&#8217;s political spending in 2020, shows the group had just over $4.6 million remaining in the bank on Oct. 15. It brought in just over $1 million—with over 85 percent coming from large donors—<a href="https://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/690/202010209325919690/202010209325919690.pdf">in September</a>. However, even if the group repeated its best 2020 performance when it brought in a $7 million donation from former Microsoft CEO and Clippers owner Steve Ballmer in <a href="https://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/195/202007159249869195/202007159249869195.pdf">April</a>, it would still be tens of millions of dollars short of its pledge,” Gutowski reported.
Further, the group isn’t even spending its money on gun-control, instead focusing its advertising on health care or energy issues.
“The downturn in spending coupled with the messaging shift could signal that liberal donors and strategists believe gun control is not a winning 2020 issue—especially with <a href="https://freebeacon.com/issues/new-gun-owners-could-sway-future-elections/">recent record gun sales and a rush of new gun owners across the country</a>,” Gutowski reported.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not surprised,&#8221; Joyce Malcolm, the Patrick Henry professor of constitutional law and the Second Amendment at George Mason University, told the Free Beacon. &#8220;With calls to defund the police and a record-setting 11 million applications for purchase of guns in the first six months of this year (40 percent of which are first-time gun purchasers), Americans are more concerned with their safety and that of their families from violent riots and mayhem than gun control.&#8221;
In January, Shannon Watts, who founded the Everytown subsidiary Moms Demand Action, said the “gun-safety movement has never been stronger or larger—and we&#8217;re going to meet this moment with our most aggressive, well resourced, and grassroots-powered electoral program ever.&#8221;
That same month, Everytown said it planned to spend twice what it spent in 2018 and surpass what the National Rifle Association spent – $50 million – to get President Donald Trump elected in 2016.
So far, the group has failed on both promises.
“Instead, Everytown is being <a href="https://freebeacon.com/2020-election/nras-2020-spending-dwarfs-gun-control-groups/">outspent</a> by the NRA. The <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00053553/?tab=filings">NRA&#8217;s PAC</a>—which raised two-thirds of its haul from small donors—brought in more cash than Everytown in September. When combined with the NRA&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00741710/?tab=filings">super PAC</a>, the gun-rights group had a roughly $3 million cash-on-hand advantage over Everytown as of October,” Gutowski reported.
As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/women-minorities-leading-increase-in-conceal-carry-permits">reported</a>, there are 820,000 more concealed carry permit holders today than there were in 2019, thanks in large part to women and minorities. A report from John Lott’s Crime Prevention Research Center showed that women and minorities were the main driver behind the 34% increase in concealed carry permits over the past four years.

Chelsea Handler has been angry with 50 Cent all week after the rapper twice told his 12.3 million Twitter followers to vote for President Donald Trump due to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s tax plan.
Handler, who is white, told “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon that she “had to remind [50 Cent] that he was a black person, so he can’t vote for Donald Trump.”
&#8220;So he doesn&#8217;t want to pay 62 percent in taxes because he doesn&#8217;t want to go from &#8217;50 Cent&#8217; to &#8217;20 Cent&#8217; and I had to remind him that he was a Black person, so he can’t vote for Donald Trump and that he shouldn&#8217;t be influencing an entire swath of people who may listen to him because he&#8217;s worried about his own personal pocketbook,“ Handler told the host.
The feud began earlier in the week when 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, posted about the consequences of Biden’s tax plan, which CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/19/tax-rates-could-top-60percent-und.html">reported</a> would result in tax rates of more than 60% for people in California and New York who earn more than $400,000 annually.
“In California, New Jersey and New York City, taxpayers earning more than $400,000 a year could face combined state and local statutory income tax rates of more than 60%,” the outlet reported.
“Under Biden’s plan, the effective tax rate for the top 1% would increase from 26.8% to 39.8%, according to the Tax Policy Center,” CNBC reported. “That means top earners in California and New York City would pay effective state and federal tax rates of around 53% — compared with the roughly 40% they pay in effective rates today. What’s more, if the Democrats win the Senate and can pass legislation removing the $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions, the combined state and local tax rates for top earners could be even lower.”
The report suggested, however, that if Democrats retake the Senate, they could remove a $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions &#8212; an improbable move for the party &#8212; that would decrease the tax rates for top earners.
50 Cent was appalled by the report, writing on Monday, “WHAT THE F***! (VOTE ForTRUMP). I’M OUT. F*** NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway.”
“I don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people,” he added, “62% are you out of ya f***ing mind,” he added.
The rapper doubled down on Tuesday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/50-cent-doubles-down-against-biden-tax-plan-i-dont-want-to-be-20-cent">tweeting</a>, “Yeah, I don’t want to be 20cent. 62% is a very, very bad idea. I don’t like it.”
Days later, Handler made her remarks to Fallon. As Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/chelsea-handler-50-cent-trump">noted</a>, the incident is reminiscent of the time in May when Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-tense-you-aint-black-interview-goes-viral-sparks-backlash">told</a> radio host Charlamagne Tha God’s audience that “you ain’t black” unless you vote for him.
“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” Biden said at the time.

Attorneys for Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have sent a letter to the Lincoln Project, an organization made up of former Republicans who are virulently anti-Trump, after the group put up billboards in Times Square featuring images of the couple.
“I am writing concerning the false, malicious and defamatory ads that the Lincoln Project is displaying on billboards in Times Square,” attorney Mark Kasowitz wrote in the letter. “If these billboards are not immediately removed, we will sue you for what will doubtless be enormous compensatory and punitive damages.”
As The Hill reported, the attorneys mentioned two billboards that appeared in Times Square:
The attorneys in a letter to The Lincoln Project complained about one billboard showing Trump, a senior adviser to her father, smiling and gesturing next to figures showing over 33,000 New Yorkers and 221,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus. The lawyers also cited a billboard featuring Kushner, another senior White House adviser, next to body bags and an unrelated 2019 quote from before the pandemic in which he said New Yorkers would “suffer.”
The Lincoln Project responded to the attorneys’ letter in a statement.
“The level of indignant outrage Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have shown towards The Lincoln Project for exposing their indifference for the more than 223,000 people who have lost their lives due to their reckless mismanagement of COVID-19 is comical. While we truly enjoy living rent free in their heads, their empty threats will not be taken any more seriously than we take Ivanka and Jared,” the organization said.
“It is unsurprising that an administration that has never had any regard or understanding of our Constitution would try to trample on our first amendment rights, but we fully intend on making this civics lesson as painful as possible,&#8221; the Lincoln Project added.
The Lincoln Project has worked with Democrats to support Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and oppose President Donald Trump.
In July, The Daily Wire’s Tim Pearce <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/anti-trump-lincoln-project-plans-to-push-biden-agenda-if-hes-elected-co-founder-says">reported</a> that one of the co-founders of the Lincoln Project said that not only are they working to defeat Trump, but they would push Biden’s agenda if he’s elected.
“He will have a mandate to clean up the mess that Trump has created with the help of his enablers,” co-founder John Weaver <a href="https://t.co/mhdzK2AAqf?amp=1">told</a> Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent. “That shouldn’t be held up. We intend to do all we can to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
In addition to campaigning against Trump, the Lincoln Project has also spent money trying to take down GOP senators, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Susan Collings (R-ME), and Cory Gardner (R-CO).
The Lincoln Project has made numerous missteps in its anti-Republican campaign, including falling for <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/reddit-troll-dupes-project-lincoln-into-believing-ben-shapiro-set-up-an-antifa-website">a hoax</a> from an online troll. The troll, Adam Rahuba, created a fake website to allegedly recruit people for the violent left-wing group Antifa, and put Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro’s name and company email address in the source code to make it look as though Shapiro created the website, which he didn’t.
Full disclosure: I wrote for the New York Observer while Kushner was the publisher.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has tried to avoid saying he would end fossil fuels if he’s elected president, but that wasn’t the impression he gave during Thursday night’s debate.
“I would transition from the oil industry, yes,” Biden said during the debate. “It’s a big statement because the oil industry pollutes significantly. … It has to be replaced by renewable energy over time.”
As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-campaign-tries-to-walk-back-his-remark-about-oil-industry-then-he-gives-another-confusing-remark">reported</a>, Biden also made confusing remarks about his energy plan after the debate.
“They’re not going to lose their jobs. A lot more jobs are going to be created in other industries,” Biden said at the time. “Eventually we’re going to have to go to all — we’re not going to be able to get rid of fossil fuels, getting rid of the subsidies for fossil fuels. But we’re not going to get rid of fossil fuels for a long time.”
Biden’s deputy campaign manager and communications director Kate Bedingfield attempted to “clarify” what Biden said at the debate to Washington Post reporter Annie Linskey. Linskey reported that Bedingfield said Biden was simply referring to oil subsidies.
Politico <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/23/biden-oil-pennsylvania-texas-432043">reported</a> Friday evening, however, that the damage control didn’t stop there.
“On Friday, his running mate Kamala Harris reaffirmed the ticket’s support for fracking. And two members of Congress from oil- and gas-rich areas immediately distanced themselves from the Democratic nominee,” the outlet reported.
While President Donald Trump used Biden’s remarks to shore up votes in Pennsylvania, Democrats in the state tried to shrug off the problem.
“I don’t think it’s going to be an issue,” said Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D-PA). “I think if you are fundamentally committed to or work in that industry, you’ve already made up your mind.”
Politico explained that the Trump campaign has used Biden’s comments as “an opportunity to pick up more votes in his strongholds in the western and northeastern parts of the state where there are numerous gas wells.”
“In hopes of limiting his losses in those areas, or even flipping some, Biden has typically sought to be extra careful while talking about fracking and energy,” the outlet continued.
At the debate, Trump slammed Biden’s past remarks about fracking, while Biden claimed he has “never said I oppose fracking.”
When Trump says he has it “on tape,” Biden told him to prove it, so Trump tweeted out a compilation of Biden saying he would end fossil fuels and ban new fracking. Here’s the transcript, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-grills-biden-on-fracking-biden-tells-him-to-prove-it-with-video-trump-does-just-that">reported</a> by The Daily Wire.
<blockquote>DANA BASH, CNN HOST: Would there be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking, in a Biden administration?
BIDEN: No, we would work it out. We would make sure it’s eliminated and no more subsidies for either one of those.
…
BIDEN TALKING TO YOUNG PERSON: I guarantee you, we’re going to end fossil fuel.
…
BIDEN AT MSNBC DEMOCRATIC DEBATE: No more, no new fracking.
…
BIDEN DURING CNBC INTERVIEW: I’d gradually move away from fracking.
…
KAMALA HARRIS, DEMOCRATIC VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, AT CNN TOWN HALL: And I think it’s critically important on day one that we end any fossil fuel leases on public lands.
…
VOTER: But, like, what about, say, stopping fracking and stopping … pipeline and structure…
BIDEN TALKING TO VOTER: Yes. Yes. No pipeline, exactly.
…
BIDEN AT RALLY: They want to do the same thing I want to do; they want to phase out fossil fuels and we’re going to phase out fossil fuels.
…
HARRIS AT CNN TOWN HALL: There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.</blockquote>

Media outlets continue to claim the bombshell emails detailing Biden family corruption are “misinformation” or “disinformation” without providing evidence of such. Neither Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden nor his son Hunter, at the center of the scandal, have made such claims.
The latest claim comes from Buzzfeed, which reported late Thursday night that the emails contained on a computer hard drive apparently belonging to Hunter were “stolen.”
“For two weeks Trump and his supporters have latched on with new vigor to the narrative — enabled in part by the opinion sections of Rupert Murdoch’s two main US newspapers — that <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/scottlucas/facebook-limits-hunter-biden-nypost">involves stolen emails</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/ChristopherJM/status/1319390872761454594">screenshots of DMs of questionable provenance</a>. To give an idea of just how confused the narrative is, hours after the Wall Street Journal’s op-ed section published a piece blasting Biden Thursday night, its news division essentially published a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/hunter-bidens-ex-business-partner-alleges-father-knew-about-venture-11603421247">debunk</a>,” the outlet reported.
Commentator Stephen L. Miller tweeted that Buzzfeed made “an interesting claim,” given the fact that the outlet hasn’t “disproven the authenticiry[sic] of any texts or emails, nor is there evidence the contents of the laptop now in FBI possession were stolen.”
“The Biden campaign has not made either of these claims, nor denied the contents,” Miller added.
In the paragraph, Buzzfeed links to a story about Twitter censoring the original New York Post article about the emails. That article, however, doesn’t prove the emails were stolen.
“Contrary to Twitter’s claims, there’s nothing to suggest at this point the laptop was stolen. The Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/email-reveals-how-hunter-biden-introduced-ukrainian-biz-man-to-dad/">reported</a> in its first bombshell story that the laptop came into its possession after it was declared abandoned property at a computer repair shop in Delaware. The store owner told the Post it was dropped off in April 2019 and the owner, suspected to be Hunter Biden, never paid for the service or came to retrieve the computer. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rudy-giuliani-hunter-biden-emails-hard-drive">told</a> Fox News he found the hard drive at the store in Delaware after its owner contacted an associate and in turn, gave it to the Post,” The Federalist <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/23/buzzfeed-peddles-baseless-claim-to-delegitimize-hunter-biden-emails-as-stolen/">reported</a>.
Buzzfeed also claims in that paragraph that The Wall Street Journal “essentially published a debunk” of the whole scandal. This is not true. The Wall Street Journal merely notes that there are no corporate records that Joe Biden was involved in his son’s business dealings.
That narrative disproves nothing, as Hunter’s former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, said Joe Biden was not to be mentioned in records but that he was definitely involved.
“On numerous occasions, it was made clear to me that Joe Biden’s involvement was not to be mentioned in writing, but only face to face. In fact, I was advised by [James] Gilliar and [Rob] Walker that Hunter and Jim Biden were paranoid about keeping Joe Biden’s involvement secret,” Bobulinski said at a press conference Thursday night.
At that same press conference, Bobulinski said he would provide documented evidence to the FBI and Senate investigators proving his claims. He is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-hunter-biden-business-partner-who-said-hed-turn-over-evidence-is-meeting-with-fbi-today">reportedly</a> meeting with the FBI on Friday.

Buzzfeed Tries To Dismiss Hunter Biden Emails As ‘Stolen,’ Gives No Evidence To Support Claim

A former business partner of Hunter Biden’s will be interviewed by the FBI on Friday, which comes after the man gave a press conference Thursday night detailing allegations against the Biden family.
Tony Bobulinski, a Navy veteran who released <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-business-partner-a-pro-democrat-navy-veteran-hunter-asked-dad-to-sign-off-on-deals">a statement</a> earlier in the week saying Hunter would ask his father, Democratic presidential candidate Jo Biden, to “sign-off” on business deals with foreign companies. In the statement, Bobulinski also confirmed the email that included his name and was published by the New York Post was “genuine.”
“What I am outlining is fact. I know it is fact because I lived it. I am the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family. I was brought into the company to be the CEO by James Gilliar and Hunter Biden. The reference to ‘the Big Guy’ in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden. The other ‘JB’ referenced in that email is Jim Biden, Joe’s brother,” Bobulinski said in that statement.
Thursday evening, Bobulinski held <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-bidens-alleged-business-partner-turned-whistleblower-im-turning-everything-over-to-fbi-senate">a press conference</a> at which he said he would be turning everything over to the FBI and Senate investigators.
“On numerous occasions, it was made clear to me that Joe Biden’s involvement was not to be mentioned in writing, but only face to face. In fact, I was advised by [James] Gilliar and [Rob] Walker that Hunter and Jim Biden were paranoid about keeping Joe Biden’s involvement secret,” Bobulinski said at the press conference.
Bobulinski also showed three phones that he said held the evidence to support his claims.
“Well, here are the facts I know, and everything I’m saying is corroborated by emails, WhatsApp chats, agreements, documents, and other evidence, and the American people can judge for themselves. I brought, I guess, for record, three phones that spanned the years 2015 through 2018. These phones have never been held by anybody else besides myself,” Bobulinski said.
On Friday, Sen. Ron Johnson’s (R-WI) office <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/23/hunter-biden-partner-who-implicated-joe-to-speak-today-in-dc/">told</a> the New York Post that Bobulinski had informed them he was speaking with the FBI that day.
“This morning lawyers for Tony Bobulinski informed the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and Senate Finance Committee that the FBI asked his client to sit for an interview today in addition to providing copies of his phones,” Johnson’s office said.
Bobulinski was scheduled to meet with Senate investigators on Friday, but that interview has been delayed because of his meeting with the FBI.
“I appreciate that the FBI has a job to do, and I am glad they are finally taking an interest in these concerning financial matters that our Committees have been investigating for months,” Johnson told the outlet. “I expect that Mr. Bobulinski will speak with our committee as soon as possible and fully share his insights into the Biden family’s business dealings.”

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s campaign has hidden an ad featuring a man claiming to be a struggling small business owner who was in reality a wealthy investor.
The ad featured Joe Malcoun, co-owner of a bar called the Blind Pig in Michigan, who said his business could shut down because of how poorly President Donald Trump handled the coronavirus pandemic. As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/man-in-joe-biden-ad-claiming-to-be-struggling-small-business-owner-is-actually-wealthy-angel-investor">reported</a>, Malcoun is actually a wealthy “angel investor” who received a large inheritance from his wife’s grandfather nearly a decade ago. In 2018, Malcoun told Click on Detroit that the inheritance was “almost like winning the lottery” and he used the money to become a well-known angel investor in Michigan, helping tech startups.
“Usually you become a CEO and you make money, and then the money allows you to become an angel investor first,” he said in the 2018 interview. “I happened to have different circumstances where I had money [first].”
“We don’t know how much longer we can survive not having any revenue. A lot of restaurants and bars that have been mainstays for many years will not make it through this,” Malcoun said in the ad, which was released last week. “My only hope for my family, this business and my community is that Joe Biden win this election.”
It’s an odd claim to make, not only given the fact that Malcoun faces little chance of financial failure, but because while Trump has refused to institute a national lockdown order, Biden has all but promised to do just that, which would again hurt small businesses just as it did earlier this year when state governors forced businesses to close.
The Daily Caller <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/10/21/biden-campaign-removes-blind-pig-ad/">reported</a> Wednesday that the Biden ad was set to private on the Biden campaign’s YouTube channel sometime between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning.” Malcoun’s Twitter account was also set to private around the same time.
As the Caller reported, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) had said the ad was the “best ad of 2020.”
Malcoun <a href="https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2020/06/after-testing-the-waters-the-blind-pig-to-hold-off-on-more-live-shows-in-ann-arbor.html">told</a> MLive prior to the Biden ad that the bar’s lack of business was due to communication issues.
“There weren’t a lot of people showing up, which is frankly what we wanted and expected,” he told the outlet. “Now that we tried it and saw it’s really hard to communicate what it means to have a really socially distanced and live music show, we decided it’s not really worth trying.”
As The Daily Wire previously reported:
<blockquote>It is also odd for Malcoun to blame Trump considering it has been Democratic governors that forced businesses such as the Blind Pig to shut down, and Biden promised to do “whatever it takes” to stop the coronavirus, which would include a national shutdown order. Trump has actively refused to institute such an economy-destroying order.
For example, Malcoun has praised Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D-MI) response to the pandemic. Whitmer has instituted lockdown orders that harmed businesses without slowing the spread of COVID-19.</blockquote>

On Wednesday afternoon, several prominent left-wing personalities were duped into sharing fake text messages allegedly sent to President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
College student Nick Roberts, vice president of the College Democrats of Indiana, tweeted what he claimed were text messages he had sent to Giuliani while posing as Ivanka Trump. Roberts allegedly asked Giuliani if “the rumor that is circulating [is] true?” an apparent reference to the apparently false reports that Giuliani behaved inappropriately after an interview with comedian Sacha Baron Cohen performing as his “Borat” character.
Giuliani allegedly responded to the college student by saying: “There is some truth to the story, I am waiting to speak with your father about it.”
Politico Magazine contributing editor David Freedlander quote-tweeted Roberts’ screenshots, writing: “Rudy seems to have learned his lesson, is tightening protocols, checking ID’s, and is now being taken in by someone claiming to be Ivanka Trump but who is in fact the vice president of the College Democrats of Indiana.”
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow quote-tweeted Freedlander’s tweet and wrote, “I can’t even.” Another MSNBC employee, reporter Stephanie Ruhle, also fell for the fake texts, tweeting “I can’t…” while sharing Freedlander’s tweet. Voice of America reporter Steve Herman also shared Roberts’ tweet with the caption, “The VP of @CollegeDemsIN tweets he has exchanged text messages with @RudyGiuliani today by claiming to be @IvankaTrump.”
Roberts, however, confirmed to Mediaite’s Zachary Petrizzo that the text messages were fake.
“It is satire,” Roberts <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/news/rachel-maddow-and-others-fall-for-fake-texts-between-giuliani-and-a-college-student-posing-as-ivanka-trump/">told</a> the outlet, adding “It’s a conversation I had with my brother.”
“Most people have caught onto it being a joke, but then the national people picked it up,” Roberts also told Mediaite.
“I’ve always thought of my [Twitter] page as a satire page somewhat,” the college student added.
Media outlets on Wednesday rushed to report a scene from the upcoming “Borat” film allegedly showing Giuliani, in a hotel room, with his hand down his pants in a sexual way after speaking with a young female “reporter.” Ben Dreyfuss, editorial director at Mother Jones and no fan of President Donald Trump or Giuliani, stood alone defending the former mayor of New York City.
“I have now seen the scene with Rudy Giuliani and though it is creepy for other reasons it is being described on twitter in a false way. He does not have his hand down his pants in a sexual way. He is tucking his shirt back in after she untucks it removing his mic,” Dreyfuss tweeted.
Giuliani himself posted on Twitter that the video “is a complete fabrication.”
“I was tucking in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment,” Giuliani tweeted. “At no time before, during, or after the interview was I ever inappropriate. If Sacha Baron Cohen implies otherwise he is a stone-cold liar.”
“In fact, the NY Post today reports ‘it looks to me like an exaggeration through editing,’” Giuliani continued. “As soon as I realized it was a set up I called the police, which has been noted in [The Hollywood Reporter] article on July 8th.”

Democrats are returning to an old, underhanded method in order to try and siphon votes away from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in South Carolina.
Liberal groups from outside the state are spending money on mailers for a third-party candidate who already dropped out of the senate race, the Washington Free Beacon <a href="https://freebeacon.com/2020-election/liberal-groups-spend-big-to-boost-third-party-conservative/">reported</a>.
“A political action committee founded by national Democratic operatives to help Harrison&#8217;s campaign—Lindsey Must Go PAC—recently <a href="https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?202010149285888104">spent</a> more than $133,000 on mailers highlighting former Constitution Party candidate Bill Bledsoe, who has dropped out of the race and thrown his support behind Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham. The mailers say Bledsoe is ‘the only true conservative on the ballot,’&#8221; the outlet reported.
Bledsoe dropped out of the race weeks ago.
Graham’s opponent, Democrat Jaime Harrison, used the same tactic earlier this week when his campaign launched ads supporting Bledsoe.
“The ads call Bledsoe ‘the only Senate candidate who stood with President Trump on day one’ and note that he ‘opposes all abortions’ and ‘believes that any gun-control law infringes upon the Second Amendment.’ The ads also link to a <a href="https://www.scvoterguide.com/">website</a> paid for by the South Carolina Democratic Party, which calls Bledsoe ‘pro-Trump,’ ‘pro-gun,’ and ‘anti-abortion,’&#8221; the Free Beacon reported.
Bledsoe dropped out of the race on October 1 after his campaign failed to raise even $1.
As the Free Beacon reported, South Carolina is not the only state where Democrats are trying this tactic:
<blockquote>Harrison is not the only red-state Democrat working to siphon votes away from a Republican opponent by boosting a third-party candidate. A liberal super PAC backing Kentucky Senate nominee Amy McGrath—Fire Mitch Save America—<a href="https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00732172/1454315/se">spent</a> more than $77,000 on mailers propping up libertarian candidate Brad Barron. The mailers call Barron, whose campaign has <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00723270/?tab=spending">disbursed</a> less than $17,000, a &#8220;better choice for U.S. Senate&#8221; who &#8220;believes in freedom, liberty, and individual rights.&#8221; McGrath&#8217;s campaign <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/mcconnell-challenger-denounces-excessive-money-in-politics-days-after-soliciting-super-pac-donations/">asked</a> &#8220;people who are interested in contributing beyond the legal limits&#8221; to give to Fire Mitch Save America in January.</blockquote>
Graham claimed the effort was “unprecedented.”
&#8220;This is an unprecedented effort for a Democrat to campaign for the constitutional conservative when the constitutional conservative is supporting the Republican,&#8221; Graham said. &#8220;It tells a lot about the state of the race.&#8221;
This is not the first election cycle where Democrats have used such an underhanded technique. In 2010, Democrats in several states allegedly recruited fake candidates to pose as members of the Tea Party in order to siphon votes from Republican candidates. In Michigan, multiple candidates ran claiming to be members of The Tea Party, yet they <a href="https://archive.vn/20130121214633/http:/detnews.com/article/20100902/POLITICS02/9020422/Tea-Party-candidates-deny-Democratic-link">had voted</a> Democrat in previous elections. Republicans in Florida claimed people running as Tea party candidates <a href="https://www.rawstory.com/2010/06/republicans-claim-florida-tea-party-democratic-front/">were former Democrats</a>. Similar allegations occurred in Pennsylvania.
In New Jersey, then-incumbent Democratic congressman John Adler’s campaign allegedly propped up “Tea Party” candidate Peter DeStefano. Democratic operatives confirmed the party was behind the nomination. Numerous signatures on the petition to get DeStefano on the ballot were from Democrats, including a member of Adler’s campaign. The Republican in the race, John Runyan, ended up winning that election.

Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously Thursday Morning to send Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination to the full senate. Democrats on the committee boycotted the vote, falsely claiming the process was illegitimate.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) noted the Democrats’ boycott at the beginning of Thursday’s hearing, saying “we are not going to allow them to take over the committee.”
He added: “They made a choice not to participate.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said the process was illegitimate since the election is so close and people have already started voting.
“We will not grant this process any further legitimacy by participating in a committee markup of this nomination just twelve days before the culmination of an election that is already underway,” Schumer said in a statement that included the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee.
Now that Barrett’s nomination has passed the committee, she will likely be confirmed by the full Senate ahead of the November 3 election. President Donald Trump nominated Barrett to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals three years ago and nominated her to the Supreme Court after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away last month.
Democrats demanded Trump wait until after the election to see if he won before nominating a replacement justice, a move they likely would not have followed had the parties been reversed. They also claimed Ginsburg’s dying wish was for her seat not to be filled until there was a new president.
Barrett’s nomination would give Republicans six Supreme Court seats, even though some justices nominated by Republican presidents have sided with the liberal justices in major decisions, such as Obamacare.
As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/45-days-until-election-three-supreme-court-justices-including-ginsburg-were-confirmed-in-less-time">reported</a>, while Barrett’s nomination is unprecedented due to its proximity to the election, the amount of time between her nomination and potential confirmation is not. Ginsburg died 45 days before the November 3 election. Three Supreme Court Justices &#8212; including Ginsburg herself &#8212; were nominated and confirmed in less time. Ginsburg was nominated by then-President Bill Clinton on June 22, 1993. She was confirmed on August 3, 42 days later.
“The time between the formal Supreme Court nomination of Sandra Day O’Connor and her final Senate confirmation was 33 days. (Aug. 19-Sep. 21, 1981). For John Paul Stevens, the formal process took only 19 days (Nov. 28-Dec. 17, 1975),” The Federalist’s Sean Davis tweeted last month. “There are 46 days until the election.”
Democrats also sought to use Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s 2016 words against him, without noting the obvious differences between the two situations, as The Daily Wire reported:
<blockquote>“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president,” McConnell said after Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died in early 2016.
In 2016, however, the presidency was up for grabs, as President Barack Obama was finishing up his second term. A new president would enter office no matter what happened during the election. Obama was also hampered by the fact that Republicans became the majority in the Senate in 2014, in part by running on the judiciary. Republicans now control the White House and the Senate, meaning there is no conflict between the two institutions, as there was in 2016 when Democrats controlled the White House but Republicans controlled the Senate.</blockquote>

The two women who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/women-arrested-after-drugging-men-at-chicago-bars-in-order-to-rob-them-similar-crimes-reportedly-on-the-rise">were arrested</a> in Chicago this weekend after getting caught drugging men at nightclubs in order to rob them collectively stole more than $85,000, prosecutors have said.
CWBChicago <a href="https://cwbchicago.com/2020/10/prosecutors-milwaukee-woman-drugged-10-men-stole-over-85k-in-on-going-river-north-scheme.html">reported</a> that the two women, 25-year-old Tiana Trammell and 32-year-old Tjwana Rainey, were responsible for “at least 14  similar drug-induced robberies in Chicago.” One of the two women, prosecutors didn’t specify whom, was responsible for 10 of the 14 robberies.
The two women appeared in separate bond hearings on Tuesday, charged with “operating a continuing financial crimes enterprise and possession of a controlled substance,” CWBChicago reported. The women would drug their victims and then steal their phones, jewelry, and credit cards.
“Assistant State’s Attorney Paul Kiefer said the women ran a ‘fairly simple scheme’ that targeted men in nightlife areas. While each crime’s specifics varied, the women offered each victim alcohol laced with a knock-out drug that rendered the men unconscious almost immediately, according to Kiefer,” the outlet reported. “Some of the victims regained consciousness while lying on the side of roads. Others awakened inside their own homes, while one was found at the Lake Forest oasis off Interstate 94, prosecutors said.”
On Sunday, the women were caught on Chicago Police Department surveillance cameras carrying an unconscious nightclub employee to Trammell’s car. The women then took his valuables. The women, Kiefer said, were already on CPD’s radar and had been under surveillance for several days. They were arrested during this particular incident.
The victim in that case, the VIP host at a River North nightclub, told CWBChicago that the women “roofied me at the club because I was wearing designer clothes and a gold Rolex watch.” The unnamed man, who is 26 years old, told the outlet he doesn’t even “remember walking out of the club.”
He added that when he finally regained consciousness, he was missing clothes and there were police and federal agents everywhere.
“The detectives saved me. Thank God her car broke down so [the women] couldn’t leave,” he told CWBChicago.
The man thought he was in their car unconscious for maybe 30 minutes after the women’s car broke down and they had to figure out what to do with him.
“They didn’t know what to do with me,” the man said. “They couldn’t start the car. So I was just laying in their back seat until the cops came. Then they arrested them and recovered my property.”
The women were arrested on the scene, and police found “many small vials of alcohol opened and filled to the top,” Kiefer said. The liquid is being tested. Police also found a handgun in Trammell’s car and that she has a concealed carry permit.
Trammell is reportedly a mother of one and pregnant. Rainey is reportedly “a licensed phlebotomist and certified nursing assistant who works at Milwaukee hospital,” CWBChicago reported.
Judge Charles Beach, who overheard bail arguments, told the court he was treating the women’s crime “in some way as an act of violence.”
“This alleged enterprise involves the…drugging of individuals,” Beach said. “Putting something into someone’s body and not knowing the result of it — affecting their body without them having a choice in it is an act of violence.”
Rainey is being held in lieu of $45,000 bail. Trammell’s bail was set at $55,000 due to an outstanding warrant in Tennessee plus the fact that she actually lives in Wisconsin, making her a flight risk.

Two students who each filed a sexual assault claim against the other based on the same sexual encounter were treated very differently by their college, leading to a harsh rebuke from a judge appointed by President Bill Clinton.
The students, referred to as John Doe and Jane Roe in <a href="https://kcjohnson.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/rpi-iv-pi.pdf">court documents</a>, were both students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York. John was a senior when he matched with Jane on the dating app Tinder. The two messaged during the Fall 2019 semester and winter break before meeting in person during the Spring 2020 semester and having consensual sex multiple times.
On one of those occasions, John reportedly used his cell phone to record Jane as she was dressing. Jane did not like this and called a friend to immediately pick her up from John’s apartment. That friend then confronted John about the video and John said he deleted it from his phone.
Late in the night of January 22, Jane invited John to her dorm room. She would later claim she did this to further argue with John over the video and that she didn’t feel comfortable having such a discussion at John’s apartment. The two each contend that at some point after this argument, they had consensual sex. They also both contend that John drank vodka while in Jane’s dorm room.
Around 3:00 a.m., however, their stories diverge, court documents suggest. John claims Jane remained sober throughout the entire night while providing him more and more drinks. He then claims Jane pressured him to have sex with her again even though he didn’t want to because he only brought one condom. He says he eventually gave in but only remembers bits and pieces of the intercourse that followed, including Jane allegedly asking him to put his hands around her neck, with which he says he wasn’t comfortable. He says he eventually complied with her wished. He also says she pressured him into having anal sex, which he also didn’t want, but he complied for “about ten seconds” before he stopped because he was uncomfortable.
John also says that after their second encounter, he had to ask Jane to get him a glass of water because he was to drunk to get it himself. He says he left the next morning and eventually took a medical leave from school because of how uncomfortable he was with Jane’s requests that night.
Jane admitted she asked John to put his hands around her neck and apply pressure, but claims it happened during their first, consensual encounter and not the second. Jane also acknowledged that John struggled to get out of bed at some point that night and that John had admitted to being under the influence of “a couple substances that night.”
Jane, however, claimed that she and John argued after their first consensual encounter and that during his argument, John tried to choke her. She also claimed to RPI that John rubbed his penis against her that night without her consent. She told a Title IX investigator that she only had sexual intercourse with John because she was afraid he would hurt her if she refused. Around 9:00 a.m. the next morning, Jane alleged, John had sex with her without her consent and that she told him it was painful. She said John continued to have sex with her but kept asking if she wanted him to stop. When she did so, he allegedly continued to have sex with her for a “couple more seconds longer” before he stopped.
Jane told her resident advisor what happened, and the RA reported a sexual assault to RPI.
John was informed of the investigation against him on January 31. Months later, on June 9, he filed his own Title IX complaint against Jane, alleging he had been too drunk to consent to sexual activity the night of their last encounter. The school did not dismiss John’s claim by alleging it was done in retaliation, but instead briefly investigated it before concluding it was too flawed.
As Judge David Hurd wrote in his ruling on the case, similar flaws existed in Jane’s allegations and yet her complaint was not dismissed. RPI dismissed John’s complaint in part because the school said he failed to substantiate that he didn’t voluntarily consume the alcohol he was given in Jane’s dorm room nor did he substantiate that he had not initiated sexual contact with Jane.
“This raises a powerful inference of sex discrimination. After all, RPI&#8217;s reliance on these twin findings is curious considering that even the 2018 policy makes no mention of voluntary consumption of alcohol as a factor bearing on the question of a complainant&#8217;s inability to consent due to excess intoxication. Instead, that rule states that ‘[d]epending on the degree of intoxication, someone who is under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other intoxicants may be incapacitated and therefore unable to consent.’ Any carveout based on voluntary intoxication must be cleverly hidden indeed to hide among such plain language,” Hurd wrote. “Similarly, the 2018 policy does not provide any exceptions to the rule that ‘[c]onsent may be initially given but withdrawn at any time.’ As a consequence, RPI&#8217;s specific finding that Doe failed to prove that he did not initiate his sexual encounter with Roe is once again bizarre, since it is apparently directly contrary to defendant&#8217;s own sexual misconduct policies.”
Hurd further excoriated RPI for dismissing John’s complaint even though there should have been enough evidence for it to hold up as Jane’s did. The school claimed John wasn’t drunk enough to be unable to consent because he took part in a “complex conversation,” was able to recall some details of the encounter, and was able to leave Jane’s room to smoke. Video footage also showed him walking steadily around 2:30 a.m. yet pausing on a staircase.
No evidence was provided to RPI that John participated in a “complex conversation.” What both John and Jane described as their discussion topics wouldn’t count as complex. Jane even admitted that during a conversation about the video, John “g[ot] kind of weird and… informed [her] that he was… under the influence of a couple substances.” After John filed his own complaint against Jane, she started claiming he was “completely coherent” during the incident.
Further, while RPI dismissed John’s pause on the staircase because it wasn’t “clear” why he paused – turning that into grounds to reject his accusations against Jane – the school was completely fine with Jane’s witnesses telling completely different stories of the night in question. Only one of Jane’s witnesses even mentioned the consensual sex that Jane admitted to on the night of the incident. One of the witnesses went so far as to say John “was apparently very out of it” and that Jane allowed him “to lay down” until he could sober up enough to leave. Such a claim supported John’s version of events, yet his complaint was dismissed and Jane’s was continued.
“[W]here the allegations are so inherently intertwined and the female&#8217;s complaint is accepted, flaws and all, while the male&#8217;s complaint is rejected for having similar flaws, that discrepancy lends force to the conclusion that the difference is traceable to gender discrimination,” Hurd wrote.
Hurd also took RPI to task for trying to claim that providing John due process protections would lead to mass rape on campus.
“It is troubling enough that defendant frames protections for one individual&#8217;s due process rights, whether that individual be male or female, as inciting campus sexual assault on a mass scale. But far worse is that by its own litigation position defendant seems already to be considering plaintiff to be guilty of violating the policy without giving him any opportunity to challenge its evidence. Needless to say, defendant&#8217;s arguments on this point are ill-advised, and do little to demonstrate that the equities do not favor granting plaintiff&#8217;s requested injunction,” Hurd wrote.
But it is in Hurd’s conclusion when he really drops the hammer on RPI and all colleges and universities that have discriminated against men in order to take campus sexual assault “seriously”: “[W]hatever answer may come to the question of how to secure the rights of an accusing woman and an accused man, that answer cannot be that all men are guilty. Neither can it be that all women are victims.”

Gov. Ralph Northam (D-VA), along with other top state officials, have called for an investigation into alleged racism at Virginia Military Institute.
The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/521790-governor-orders-investigation-into-racism-at-virginia-military-institute">reported</a> that Northam and others sent <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/context/letter-from-virginia-gov-ralph-northam/db652d21-6c0e-4392-abd3-56ea90b4bd9e/?itid=lk_inline_manual_4">a letter</a> to VMI’s Board of Visitors announcing an “independent, third-party review” of the college after <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/northam-calls-for-vmi-investigation-after-black-cadets-describe-relentless-racism/2020/10/19/6fcb21a8-1229-11eb-ba42-ec6a580836ed_story.html">reports</a> of racism surfaced in The Washington Post. Among the allegations are “structural racism,” an accusation that a professor described her family’s history as Ku Klux Klan members in positive terms, and alleged threats of lynching.
“Black cadets at VMI have long faced repeated instances of racism on campus, including horrifying new revelations of threats about lynching, vicious attacks on social media, and even a professor who spoke fondly of her family’s history in the Ku Klux Klan—to say nothing of inconsistent application of the Institute’s Honor Code,” the officials wrote in the letter. “This culture is unacceptable for any Virginia institution in the 21st century, especially one funded by taxpayers,” the letter continues. “Virginians expect all universities—and particularly public universities established by the General Assembly—to be welcoming and inclusive, and to eschew outdated traditions that glamorize a history rooted in rebellion against the United States.”
Northam graduated from VMI in 1981. In addition to him, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D-VA) and Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring (D) also signed the letter.
As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-kkk-blackface-photo-emerges-virginia-ryan-saavedra">reported</a>, medical school yearbook photos show Northam in either blackface or wearing a KKK robe. The photos were added to his personal yearbook page. Northam initially apologized for the photos but a day later claimed he was not in them and didn’t know how they made it onto his page, which he was responsible for. But as Northam was insisting he wasn’t in the widely circulated blackface photo, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disaster-ralph-northam-denies-hes-racist-photo-ryan-saavedra">admitted</a> to wearing blackface on another occasion.
“Yesterday I took responsibility for content that appeared on my page in the Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook that was clearly racist and offensive. I am not and will not excuse the content of the photo,” Northam said at a February 2, 2019 press conference. “It was offensive, racist, and despicable. When my staff showed me the photo in question yesterday, I was seeing it for the first time.”
“My belief that I did not wear that costume or attend that party stems in part from my clear memory of other mistakes I made in the same period of my life,” Northam said during the same press conference. “That same year, I did participate in a dance contest in San Antonio in which I darkened my face as part of a Michael Jackson costume.”
Calls for the governor&#8217;s resignation poured in from fellow Democrats until sexual assault allegations surfaced against his immediate successor, Lt. Gov. Fairfax, and the next in line, Attorney General Herring, admitted to also wearing blackface decades ago. Once it was discovered that the next in line to become governor of Virginia was a Republican, Democrats stopped demanding Northam resign.

Last Thursday, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s campaign released an ad featuring a Michigan bar own claiming “a lot of restaurants and bars that have been mainstays for years&#8221; will go out of business unless Biden is elected.
The man, Joe Malcoun, claims the bar he co-owns, the Blind Pig, is struggling due to President Donald Trump’s COVID-19 response. But as the Washington Free Beacon <a href="https://freebeacon.com/2020-election/biden-ad-portrays-wealthy-tech-investor-as-struggling-small-business-owner/">reported</a>,  Malcoun is actually a “wealthy tech investor whose startup was seeded by a large family inheritance.”
Further, it’s unlikely that Malcoun would lose his livelihood due to the coronavirus pandemic. In 2018, the Free Beacon reported, Malcoun was <a href="https://www.clickondetroit.com/all-about-ann-arbor/2018/04/14/getting-to-know-ann-arbor-tech-entrepreneur-joe-malcoun/">interviewed</a> on a local NBC affiliate called Click on Detroit. In the interview, Malcoun explains how he received a large inheritance from his wife’s grandfather nearly a decade ago, an inheritance he said was “almost like winning the lottery.&#8221; He used that money to become a prominent “angel investor” in Michigan.
&#8220;Usually you become a CEO and you make money, and then the money allows you to become an angel investor first,&#8221; he said in the 2018 interview. &#8220;I happened to have different circumstances where I had money [first].&#8221;
The Free Beacon also noted that Malcoun had previously blamed the bar’s low business on communication issues.
&#8220;There weren&#8217;t a lot of people showing up, which is frankly what we wanted and expected,&#8221; he said in an <a href="https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2020/06/after-testing-the-waters-the-blind-pig-to-hold-off-on-more-live-shows-in-ann-arbor.html">interview</a> with MLive. &#8220;Now that we tried it and saw it&#8217;s really hard to communicate what it means to have a really socially distanced and live music show, we decided it&#8217;s not really worth trying.&#8221;
It is also odd for Malcoun to blame Trump considering it has been Democratic governors that forced businesses such as the Blind Pig to shut down, and Biden promised to do “whatever it takes” to stop the coronavirus, which would include a national shutdown order. Trump has actively refused to institute such an economy-destroying order.
For example, Malcoun has praised Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D-MI) response to the pandemic. Whitmer has instituted lockdown orders that harmed businesses without slowing the spread of COVID-19.
In addition, Biden has promised to enact policies that would hurt small businesses like the Blind Pig, including tax hikes and changes to the energy industry that would raise energy costs.
More from the Free Beacon:
<blockquote>Malcoun founded CKM Capital Partners in January 2013, his LinkedIn shows. He went on to invest in &#8220;several local tech companies&#8221; and became &#8220;the go-to guy when it came to seeking investments&#8221; in Michigan, according to Click on Detroit.
Malcoun has also served as CEO of customer relationship management service Nutshell since 2014. The company has since received at least $5.5 million in venture capital investments, according to his Crain&#8217;s Detroit &#8220;40 under 40&#8221; <a href="https://www.crainsdetroit.com/awards/joe-malcoun-0">profile</a>.
In 2016, Malcoun cofounded Cahoots, a self-described &#8220;hub&#8221; and &#8220;co-working space&#8221; for tech companies in the state. The venture saw Malcoun put up the funds necessary to purchase three office buildings in Ann Arbor, according to his Click on Detroit interview.</blockquote>

Two women have been arrested after police and federal agents witnessed them drugging men in order to rob them.
CWBChicago <a href="https://cwbchicago.com/2020/10/exclusive-cops-feds-bust-2-women-who-drugged-and-robbed-men-in-river-north-clubs.html">reported</a> that the women, both from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, were caught drugging men at bars in the North River section of Chicago over the weekend. Charges haven’t been announced, so the outlet isn’t naming the women, but reported they are expected to be charged with “robbery and operating a continuing financial crimes enterprise.” A source alerted the outlet to the arrests.
“CPD detectives teamed up with the U.S. Marshals Service to put the women under surveillance for days after Chicago authorities identified an on-going drug-induced robbery pattern in the area,” CWBChicago reported. “Cops and deputy marshals arrested the two women around 1 a.m. Sunday near LaSalle and Hubbard Streets as area bars closed for the night, the source said. Investigators ‘caught them redhanded drugging men on both Friday and Saturday this weekend,’ the source continued.”
The women are 25 and 32 years old, the outlet reported.
Apparently, drugging and robbing men in nightclubs is a crime on the rise, after the 2019 movie “Hustlers,” starring Jennifer Lopez, was released.  “Hustlers is about a group of female strippers who drug and rob their clients. Hollywood loved it.
After the movie debuted, an old video of rapper Cardi B surfaced where she admitted that she had previously drugged men and then robbed them. As The Daily Wire’s Amanda Prestigiacomo previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rapper-cardi-b-admits-drugging-and-robbing-men-she-amanda-prestigiacomo">reported</a>, Cardi B says in the 2017 Instagram video: “I had to go strip, I had to go, ‘Oh yeah, you want to f*** me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, let’s go back to this hotel,’ and I drugged n****s up, and I robbed them. That’s what I used to do.”
After a backlash to the video ensued, which included numerous people pointing out that if a man admitted to such a crime it would be headline news, Cardi B released a statement.
“So I’m seeing on social media that [an Instagram] live I did 3 years ago has popped back up. A live where I talked about things I had to do in my past right or wrong that I felt I needed to do to make a living,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “I never claim [sic] to be perfect or come from a perfect world wit [sic] a perfect past I always speak my truth I always own my s**t.”
“There are rappers that glorify murder violence drugs an [sic] robbing. Crimes they feel they had to do to survive,” she added. “I never glorified the things I brought up in that live I never even put those things in my music because I’m not proud of it and feel responsibility not to glorify it.”
“I made the choices that I did at the time because I had very limited options. I was blessed to have been able to rise from that but so many women have not,” she continued. “Whether or not they were poor choices at the time I did what I had to do to survive.”

Major broadcast networks, as well as CNN and MSNBC, follow social media giants Twitter and Facebook’s lead in largely ignoring the New York Post story about Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.
The fact the media networks ignored a potentially explosive story about the Biden family’s corruption shows social media didn’t even need to suppress the story to prevent people from seeing it. As NewsBusters <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/geoffrey-dickens/2020/10/16/abccbsnbccnnmsnbc-bury-hunter-biden-scandal-9-minutes-92-hours">reported</a>, in the two days after the Post story was published, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC collectively devoted a total of 9 minutes and 47 seconds to the scandal, which amounts to less than 0.2% of their airtime. ABC and CNN didn’t mention the story at all. NBC spent 45 seconds on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bombshell-email-shows-joe-biden-allegedly-met-with-top-executive-at-ukrainian-gas-company-burisma-report">story</a>, which was about emails from Hunter Biden allegedly showing his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, met with a top executive at Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company where Hunter inexplicably worked.
CBS covered the scandal for four minutes, 28 seconds over the two days, while MSNBC dedicated four minutes, 34 seconds to the story over 36 hours, though as NewsBusters <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kyle-drennen/2020/10/15/media-biden-backers-rush-reject-hunter-email-story-disinformation">explained</a>, the networks only covered it to claim it was discredited.
“On Thursday, CBS This Morning finally noticed story, but only to dismiss the report. ‘Plus, how the President is trying to revive an old attack line, using the Vice President’s son,’ co-host and Democratic Party donor Gayle King announced at the top of the show.  Moments later, her fellow co-host Anthony Mason repeated the claim of it being old news: ‘Yesterday, the President held a rally in Iowa, where he tried to revive an old line of attack against Joe Biden based on suspicious new claims linked to Rudy Giuliani,’” the outlet reported.
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, without evidence, called the Post story “false.”
To figure out how little networks covered the story, NewsBusters analysts “looked at CNN and MSNBC’s broadcast days starting at 6am through 12 midnight ET on October 14 and October 15. Analysts also viewed ABC’s World News Tonight, Good Morning America and their 2-hour townhall event with Joe Biden; CBS Evening News and CBS This Morning; NBC Nightly News, NBC’s Today show and the Today show Third Hour and their 1-hour townhall event with Donald Trump.”
In total, NewsBusters analysts looked at a total of 92 hours of programming.
As I wrote in an op-ed on Saturday, the media’s suppression of the Biden family story is a blatant double standard that is not applied to articles negative to President Donald Trump. For example, while Twitter claimed it blocked links to the Post story because it didn’t “want to incentivize hacking by allowing Twitter to be used as distribution for possibly illegally obtained materials,” no such action was taken when The New York Times illegally obtained President Donald Trump’s tax returns and published a report on them.
Media outlets also claimed, without evidence, that the Post story was part of a Russian disinformation program, yet Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe dismissed the claims.
“Let me be clear, the intelligence community doesn’t believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that and we shared no intelligence with chairman Schiff or any other member of Congress that Hunter Biden’s laptop is part of some Russian disinformation campaign,” Ratcliff <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-director-of-national-intelligence-confirms-hunter-biden-laptop-not-part-of-some-russian-disinformation-campaign">told</a> Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. “It’s simply not true.”

During his Thursday night town hall on ABC, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden again said law enforcement should just shoot violent suspects in the leg to avoid fatalities.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of things we&#8217;ve learned and it takes time, but we can do this,&#8221; Biden said at the event, as transcribed by Fox News. &#8220;You can ban chokeholds &#8230; you have to teach people how to de-escalate circumstances. &#8230; Instead of anybody coming at you and the first thing you do is shoot to kill, you shoot them in the leg.&#8221;
Police officers and heads of law enforcement groups have since blasted the former vice president for his comments, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/police-rip-bidens-advice-to-shoot-suspects-in-the-leg">reported</a>.
The Detectives’ Endowment Association, which represents more than 20,000 active and retired New York City detectives, <a href="https://twitter.com/NYCPDDEA/status/1317093015127838720?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1317093015127838720%7Ctwgr%5Eshare_3%2Ccontainerclick_1&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fpolitics%2Fpolice-rip-bidens-advice-to-shoot-suspects-in-the-leg">tweeted</a> that Biden’s comments “demonstrates his incompetence &amp; inability to understand the grave dangers cops face as they protect the public and themselves from violent, heartless criminals.”
John Evans, a Trump supporter and president of the Buffalo Police Benevolent Association, called Biden’s suggestion that police shoot violent criminals in the leg “absolutely ridiculous” and “incredibly ignorant.”
&#8220;The guy&#8217;s clueless,&#8221; Evans told Fox. &#8220;And I know he&#8217;s just trying to appease his left-wing base but it&#8217;s a really foolish statement.&#8221;
He also explained that if an officer attempts to shoot someone in the leg and misses, the situation would become dangerous for the officer involved. &#8220;If an individual is coming at you with a knife and you shoot for the leg and you miss, he&#8217;s on you,&#8221; he said.
Joe Gamaldi, vice president of the national Fraternal Order of Police, also had some harsh words for Biden’s suggestion, calling it “&#8221;completely ridiculous, &#8220;unrealistic&#8221; and a &#8220;pandering talking point.&#8221;
&#8220;Shootings are dynamic situations and we shoot to stop the threat,&#8221; Gamaldi told Fox. &#8220;It&#8217;s incredibly difficult to hit a moving target.&#8221;
Gamaldi’s organization has endorsed President Donald Trump, the outlet reported.
Biden’s suggestion is unrealistic given the circumstances that usually lead to police shooting a suspect.
&#8220;By aiming at legs we are much more likely to miss and we already only hit roughly 50% of the time,&#8221; Gamaldi explained. He went on to describe a moment 14 years ago where he had to shoot a suspect. &#8220;Between being terrified I was going to die, someone shooting at me, and then I need to aim at their legs &#8212; it’s not realistic.&#8221;
Further, shooting someone in the leg could still kill them, the officials told Fox, since they could potentially hit the femoral artery.
Dana Schrad, executive director of the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police, called Biden’s suggestion a “myth” that others have fallen for as well.
&#8220;That myth has been around for a long time. And a lot of Democrats and Republicans have fallen for it,&#8221; Schrad told Fox. &#8220;To be honest with you, Joe Biden has actually been fairly supportive of law enforcement and he&#8217;s done a lot over the years in different areas supportive of law enforcement. So it&#8217;s unfortunate that he would not know that that&#8217;s not a [viable] training tactic in law enforcement.&#8221;
