[FoxNews] Project Veritas founder has vowed to file defamation suit against Twitter next week.
Project Veritas founder joins 'Hannity' to discuss his permanent suspension from the social media giant
Critics accused Twitter Thursday of banning Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe from its platform over the right-wing guerrilla news outlet's damning exposé of CNN.
Project Veritas relaunched its #ExposeCNN campaign this week by sharing footage of CNN technical director Charles Chester revealing the liberal network's dirty laundry. In the footage, Chester claimed that CNN's "focus" during the 2020 election campaign was to "get rid of" President Trump, that the network hyped its coronavirus coverage for "gangbuster" ratings, and that it aims to "help" Black Lives Matter.
On Thursday, O'Keefe's Twitter account, which was sharing Project Veritas' reporting, was permanently suspended over alleged use of "fake accounts."
"As outlined in our policy on platform manipulation and spam, 'You can’t mislead others on Twitter by operating fake accounts,' and 'you can’t artificially amplify or disrupt conversations through the use of multiple accounts,'" a Twitter spokesperson told Fox News.
O'Keefe categorically denied Twitter's assertions, telling Fox News that he vows to sue the tech giant for defamation.
"Twitter banned Carpe Donktum right after his viral parody of CNN with the babies and they banned James O'Keefe after he released videos of a CNN employee that embarrassed the company," wrote Daily Caller social media associate Greg Price, recalling Twitter's suspension of the pro-Trump meme creator.
Twitter did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
Twitter has also been the subject of recent Project Veritas exposés. In January, the outlet obtained and published internal remarks by top executives, including CEO Jack Dorsey, following the permanent suspension of then-President Donald Trump.
Twitter previously suspended Project Veritas' account back in February for alleged violation of its policy against sharing private information.
[Gateway] In some people, COVID-19 vaccination may make the situation worse, especially for those with blood coagulation problems or those, like the elderly, taking "blood thinners," even mild antiplatelet therapy such as aspirin.
Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of blood platelets, also known as thrombocytes.
As a result, it can lead to thrombocytopenic purpura, a bleeding disorder causing the immune system to destroy platelets, which are necessary for normal blood clotting.
The symptoms of thrombocytopenic purpura can include bleeding into the skin often around the shins, rash, abnormally heavy menstruation, easy bruising, nosebleed, or bleeding in the mouth.
[NYPOST] Two crooks want to become mayor of Spring Valley in Rockland County — but only one is eligible to run, a state judge ruled Wednesday.In an only-in-New York story, former Spring Valley Mayor Noramie Jasmin, who was ensnared in a federal corruption scandal tied to former state Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith, is running for her old job after serving four years in prison.
Jasmin was found guilty in 2015 of mail fraud and extortion.
She got caught peddling her support for a local community center in exchange for $5,000 cash and 50-percent ownership in the development.
But that’s only half the story.
One of her wannabe opponents in the Democratic primary, Vilair Fonvil, a former Spring Valley trustee, was convicted of felony state crimes for stealing $11,000 from a summer camp program run by the village. The crimes included grand larceny, corruption and official misconduct.
Fonvil went to court to knock Jasmin off the ballot, arguing her federal felony conviction barred her from running for office under state and federal law. He has appealed to overturn his convictions.
Jasmin counter-sued — saying the law makes Fonvil ineligible to run because he was convicted of state felony crimes.
State Supreme Court Justice Paul Marx ruled that a loophole allows federal convict Jasmin to run for office again despite her crimes, but prohibits Fonvil from doing so.
New York state law bars criminals convicted of state felonies from running for office, but but allows federal convicts such as Jasmin to run.

Spring Valley may have just knocked off Troy as the butt of the old NY joke "Albany is the a$$h0le of the state and Troy is 7 miles up.
[CNN] President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama will appear in an hour-long NBC special on Sunday aimed at promoting Covid-19 vaccinations as they hope to convince hesitant Americans to get shots.
The special comes as the Biden administration races to get shots in arms and combat vaccine hesitancy, particularly after it was recommended that the US pause the use of Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine over six reported US cases of a "rare and severe" type of blood clot.
The "Roll Up Your Sleeves" special will air at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday on NBC, according to a news release from the nonprofit Civic Nation. It is presented by Walgreens and was created by ATTN: in partnership with Civic Nation’s Made to Save initiative, which is a national public education and grassroots organizing effort focused on equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines and building trust in the vaccines.
Biden will make remarks during the special, and Obama will appear alongside former NBA stars Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal to encourage Americans to get vaccinated so they can help end the pandemic and return to their normal lives.
Biden’s chief Covid-19 adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci will speak on "separating fact from fiction about the vaccines," and will be interviewed by actor Matthew McConaughey.
The special will also feature former first lady Michelle Obama and a whole slate of celebrities, including Sterling K. Brown, Lana Condor, Billy Crystal, Eric Dane, Ryan Eggold, Dr. Vin Gupta, Faith Hill, Jennifer Hudson, Dale Jarrett, Ken Jeong, Joe Jonas, Eva Longoria, Jennifer Lopez, Demi Lovato, Joel McHale, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Kumail Nanjiani, Ellen Pompeo, Amanda Seyfried, Jane Seymour and Wanda Sykes.

So the actual President finally appears in public with his drooling facade. I knew Champ couldn’t stay away from giving the American people a look at the third term of his presidency.
Expect the hypocrisy to be thick and look for his arrogance to be on display.

Well, not only is the Miller Lite shirt GAH, but a photoshopped shot bandage?
Seriously, the worst promoters are the sales teams. Could have and would have happened organically, but no, the trend setters and the buck makers had to go out clown each other, because corporate thinks clown sells.
Seriously, look at that line-up. Its a diversity sample lot dream team with absolutely not cross guest chemistry. Even the headliners Biden and Obama are well known to only have professionally tolerated each other.
What they need is Dionne Warwick, do a song, do some clairvoyance, check off the psychic box in the Table of Inclusiveness.
Roll Up Your Sleeves, is the CDC promotion program. The mascot out here is some model wearing a checkered shirt and acid washed hat in front of a green screen of vaguely farmland looking scenery, going for an early 40s Ag Man, who in real life would be a bit worn and crumpled instead of Cosplay Bruce Wayne. Like that scene in Fight Club on the bus, "Is that what a real man looks like?" Its insulting.

A little late, you guys. This should have been done after FDR's attempt to pack the court. This is the only way to make sure the SCOTUS is an equal branch of the government with Congress and the President. Otherwise, the court will always be at the mercy of the other two.

How about every state gets to appoint a justice for a term of one year. Justices can be appointed multiple times. Vice president is the tie breaker.
Good luck stacking that court and the states will have more say in what laws should govern them from the federal level.
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Senate Republicans will introduce legislation Thursday to create a new bipartisan national commission to reduce the deficit and balance the federal budget within 10 years.
Republicans are concerned about runaway government spending and how it will be funded after Congress spent nearly $6 trillion in pandemic relief last year while the Biden administration is gearing up to spend trillions more.
"We are on an unsustainable trajectory. We’ve become numb to the word ’trillion,’" said Sen Cynthia Lummis, a Wyoming Republican and the lead sponsor of the Sustainable Budget Act.
"At the rate we are going, the United States could soon spend more money on interest on the national debt than it does on defense," Lummis told the Washington Examiner before the bill’s introduction.
The legislation will be co-sponsored by Republican Sens. Joni Ernst of Iowa, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, and Kevin Cramer of North Dakota.
The bill would establish within the legislative branch a new entity known as the "National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform."
The purpose of the commission would be to find policies to improve the fiscal situation of the federal government in the medium and long term by balancing the national budget.
In particular, this would include "changes to address the growth of entitlement spending and the gap between the projected revenues and expenditures of the Federal Government."

...As long as we're dreaming, can I have a pony? The spending isn't going to change, just the reasons for it - and it's entirely too late in any event.
Before the damned Chinese Flu, we probably had 8 or 9 years to do something, and none of the things would have been very palatable at all. Now, we are literally making up money out of thin air, and nobody cares any more. I truly expect the wall to smack us in the face just in time for the 2024 elections.

Right. You had the House, Senate, and Executive in early 2000. You did nothing. That's why the Tea Party got started and the Trunk leadership did all it could to kill it. It's going to take a destructive crash before anything changes that includes a radical downsizing of the national government and its programs.

Another whiff of bullshit - note the proposed timeframe. Paul Ryan (who used to talk a really good game at this stuff) also talked in decades. It's like the global warming / climate change doom goblin shit - so far over the horizon it'll never materialize.

Quite a few of those Republicans have retired, Procopius2k, replaced by young Trump Republicans — assertive, combative, pro-law and order, pro-gun, pro-smaller government. In Ohio we have three competing to replace Senator Mike DeWine, an embarrassment of riches.
[FREEBEACON] Having sworn to answer all questions truthfully, in an appearance Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family... 's nominee to lead the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division offered a series of answers that strained credulity and veered into outright falsehood.
The most bald-faced of the lies Kristen Clarke offered in her own defense relates to her activism while a Harvard University undergraduate in the 1990s.
Pressed about a 1994 letter published in the Harvard Crimson making the case that blacks are intellectually and physically superior to whites, Clarke waved it off as a "satirical" attempt to refute The Bell Curve, which came out the same year.
Everybody knew she was joking, she said, when she wrote that "black infants sit, stand, crawl and walk sooner than whites," and, in a demonstration of scholarly rigor, pointed to the work of the writer Carol Barnes to assert that "human mental processes are controlled by melanin—that same chemical which gives Blacks their superior physical and mental abilities."
The letter concluded: "It is completely naive to say that Blacks have achieved economic equality with whites. It seems that whites have grown tired of hearing about racism." Was that a joke, too?
In Wednesday's hearing, Clarke assured politicians that "contemporaneous reporting by the campus paper made very clear" she harbored no racist views.
False. The editors of the Crimson called on her to retract her claims. In an editorial titled, "Clarke Should Retract Statements," they wrote: "We searched in vain for a hint of irony in Clarke's letter." She had, they concluded, "resorted to bigotry, pure and simple."
Five days after the editorial was published, a student columnist wrote: "By disseminating racist theories of her own—however ambiguously—Clarke has done nothing to refute what she abhors and has done much to poison the atmosphere further."
Even her defenders weren't in on the joke. They explained that, having spoken with Clarke, it became clear she meant to question why the "racist opinions of white Harvard ’scholars' are publicly debated while racist opinions of Black ’scholars' are categorically rejected." And indeed Clarke invited the racist black "scholar" Tony Martin to Harvard's campus to discuss his book The Jewish Onslaught—another move the Crimson condemned.
Engaging in radical politics while studying at college is not an unforgivable sin. But brazenly perjuring oneself before the U.S. Senate is cause enough for her nomination to go down.
