Biden and the ‘White Supremacy’ Smear

Posted on | September 30, 2020 | 1 Comment

 

There is exactly zero evidence that Kyle Rittenhouse is a “white supremacist,” but the absence of evidence did not prevent the Joe Biden campaign from smearing the teenager who defended himself against an Antifa mob during the Kenosha riots.

Kyle Rittenhouse’s lawyer Lin Wood is not happy about this:

After last night’s debate, the Biden camp put together a video that they then tweeted out indicating President Trump and Kyle Rittenhouse are white nationalists. This is not true and now a defamation claim is being prepared against Joe Biden.
In last night’s debate the moderator and Joe Biden’s tag team member, Chris Wallace, pressed President Trump to condemn violence in American cities by white nationalists. The two cities where Wallace said white nationalists were active were Kenosha and Portland. President Trump responded by saying all the destruction over the past few months comes from the radical left. . . .
After the debate, candidate Biden used this exchange in an advertisement, wrongly accusing the President of being a white nationalist and indicating Kyle Rittenhouse was as well . . .
Now it looks like Biden has a lawsuit coming based on his defamation of the young 17 year old in Kenosha who was involved in the death of two men from the Antifa/BLM riots while acting in self defense.

You know who else got smeared last night? The Proud Boys:

The crucial moment in Tuesday night’s debate was near the end when Joe Biden invited President Trump to throw the Proud Boys under the bus, and the president refused to do it. The president was asked by moderator Chris Wallace “to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities as we saw in Kenosha and as we’ve seen in Portland.” Trump replied, “Sure, I’m willing to do that,” but then added that “almost everything I see” in terms of violence “is from the left-wing, not from the right-wing. I’m willing to do anything.… I want to see peace.”
After further back-and-forth, Trump said, “Give me a name,” and Biden said, “Proud Boys.” To this, Trump replied: “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by, but I’ll tell you what, somebody’s gotta do something about Antifa and the Left, because this is not a right-wing problem, this is a left-wing problem.”
Because I personally know both Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes and the group’s current chairman Enrique Tarrio, I was pleased by that response. . . .

Biden: Incompetent AND Incontinent?

Posted on | September 29, 2020 | 1 Comment

 

Guess which candidate needs an extra potty break?

On Tuesday morning the Trump campaign requested a new rule for the first presidential debate: that a third party inspect both candidates for electronic devices or transmitters. President Trump had already consented to such an inspection, and the Biden campaign had reportedly agreed to this days ago, but Ebony Bowden of the New York Post reported moments ago that they are now declining.
The Trump campaign has since confirmed this flip-flop.
“Joe Biden’s handlers several days ago agreed to a pre-debate inspection for electronic earpieces but today abruptly reversed themselves and declined,” Tim Murtaugh, communications director for the Trump campaign, said in a statement. “Biden’s handlers have asked for multiple breaks during the debate, which President Trump doesn’t need, so we have rejected that request. On top of the refusal to take a drug test, it seems pretty obvious that the Biden team is looking for any safety net they can find in the hours leading up to the debate.”

“Allegedly,” I hasten to add. All this pre-debate drama will cease to matter once the game kicks off in about three hours:

The debate – the first of three between Biden and Trump — kicks off at 9 p.m. ET Tuesday and is being hosted by Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic, in Cleveland, Ohio. The showdown’s being moderated by “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace.

How will Biden do in the debate? Guess you could say, it Depends.

LOL: Trashy Ex-Gawker Link-Bait Peddler Libels Black Professor, Gets Sued

Posted on | September 28, 2020 | 3 Comments

Confession: I was tempted to use the phrase “media Jew” in the headline to describe Ashley Feinberg, just for the sake of cheap traffic from anti-Semites, because really, what’s the difference between that and the kind of link-bait “journalism” Feinberg does? She got her start at Gawker and specializes in mining the Internet for “exclusives,” e.g., “Family Values Activist Josh Duggar Had a Paid Ashley Madison Account.”

After years of trafficking in that kind of stuff, Feinberg evidently forgot how to avoid getting sued for libel. Recall that Gawker got shut down by losing a lawsuit to Hulk Hogan, and you might think an ex-Gawker writer would be conscious of such dangers, but alas, no:

A federal judge has refused to dismiss a Mississippi man’s defamation lawsuit against the news website HuffPost over a 2018 story on U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s days at Georgetown Prep school.
Gulfport professor and advocate Derrick Evans’ lawsuit was filed in August 2019 in U.S. District Court in Gulfport against HuffPost.com and its former journalist, Ashley Feinberg.
The lawsuit said HuffPost and Feinberg repeatedly defamed Evans and friend Douglas Kennedy to a nationwide audience in September 2018 by falsely asserting they helped arrange the purchase and delivery of cocaine at Georgetown Prep that resulted in the April 1984 death of David Kennedy, Douglas’ brother and the son of the late U.S. attorney general and senator, Robert F. Kennedy.

“Make ’em pay,” says Professor Reynolds, and points out that Huffington Post tried to get the case moved to New York “where the courts are notoriously friendly to media defendants. Instead, it’s going ahead in Mississippi, where the plaintiff lives.” You see, that’s how Gawker went bankrupt — Hogan was able to sue them in Pinellas County, Florida, where the jury was full of patriotic red-blooded Americans who hate the media. So the jurisdictional claim in the Evans v. HuffPo lawsuit is really game, set, match. Oh, did I mention that Derrick Evans is black? Because that’s gonna matter a whole lot in Gulfport, Mississippi.

If you take a little time to research how Feinberg screwed this up, it’s because of the kind of laziness that affects media in an age where doing cut-and-paste from the Internet is considered “reporting.”

A few days after Christine Blasey Ford claimed that she had been assaulted by Kavanaugh at a party, Feinberg wrote an article about how Georgetown Prep was a wild party school in the 1980s. Feinberg quoted an anonymous former student: “Drugs everywhere. Partying everywhere. Drinking — just whatever we wanted to do. It was unbelievable, off the rails. And that’s just how it was.” Whether she actually interviewed anyone, I don’t pretend to know, but it’s widely acknowledged that Georgetown Prep boys were pretty rowdy back in the day.

It is not libelous to describe such a situation in general terms, but Feinberg made the mistake of getting very specific in her article:

In describing the culture of the school in those days, the former student pointed to the April 1984 overdose of 28-year-old David Kennedy, son of Robert F. Kennedy, who’d injected drugs into his groin, apparently to hide the needle marks. (Cocaine, Demerol and Mellaril were found in his system.) The former student spoke of Kennedy’s death as the end of the school’s free-for-all party scene and the catalyst for changes in Georgetown Prep culture.
Two Prep students — David’s brother Doug, and his friend Derrick Evans — had helped David Kennedy score the coke. Doug, class of ’86, had been at the center of Georgetown Prep social life, which the former student characterized as “weekly frat-style parties with the neighboring sister schools and other private schools,” often hosted by Kennedy at his family’s house in McLean, Virginia.
The death certainly registered on campus. The former student remembered the FBI showing up at Georgetown Prep one day and questioning a student.
“Everybody was like, ‘Oh s–t, what happened? How is this going to affect us?’” said the former student. “‘Were we involved? Did this happen with us?’ That kind of thing. It was never a situation where anybody told on anyone.”

On what basis did Feinberg make the flat assertion that Doug Kennedy and Derrick Evans “helped David Kennedy score the coke”? Did her anonymous source tell her that? No, she apparently picked it up from a 1984 New York Times story — except that’s not what the Times reported. My guess is Feinberg was just doing a cut-and-paste job and wrote what she considered a brief synopsis, without noticing the difference between the careful wording of the Times article (which cited a police affidavit as its source) and her unsubstantiated claim about who “helped . . . score the coke.” Nothing in the Times article points to Evans and Doug Kennedy (who were just high-school kids at the time) as doing anything to broker a transaction. Rather, Evans was cited as a witness in the police report of the case against the two men (Peter Marchant, 24, and Linwood Dorr, 31) who were accused of providing cocaine to David Kennedy.

Think about this: A 28-year-old man gets cocaine from two adult men who were employees of the Palm Beach hotel where the Kennedy brothers were staying that weekend while visiting Kennedy clan matriarch Rose Kennedy. Evidently, Doug Kennedy had brought along his prep-school friend Derrick Evans for the trip to Palm Beach. (You can imagine what a treat such a visit would have been for Evans, a poor kid from Mississippi who was attending Georgetown Prep on an academic scholarship.) Does it strike you as logical that David Kennedy would have needed the help of two teenagers to acquire cocaine? Did I mention that Dorr once worked for the Kennedy family? So why would Ashley Feinberg name two teenagers as brokers of this deal?

Here’s what the Times reported in 1984:

Much of the information in the state’s affidavit linking Mr. Kennedy to the two men arrested today appeared to rely on statements obtained from Derrick Evans, a prep school classmate of Douglas Kennedy, a younger brother of David. The brothers were among several family members visiting Mrs. Kennedy for the Easter holidays.
Mr. Evans was staying with Douglas Kennedy at the Brazilian Court in a room separate from that of David Kennedy.
The affidavit said the two men arrested today [i.e., Marchant and Dorr] met David Kennedy at the Brazilian Court on or about April 20 and were asked by him to obtain some cocaine for him.
The affidavit said Derrick Evans was present when the purchase of cocaine was discussed, when the two men [i.e., Marchant and Dorr] “called a person concerning arranging a purchase,” and on April 22 when David Kennedy was reported to have told Mr. Marchant and Mr. Dorr “that the cocaine they had obtained for him was of good quality.”

We may suppose that Feinberg simply misinterpreted the Times article. Instead of realizing that the reference to “two men” making a phone call to set up a cocaine buy referred to Marchant and Dorr, Feinberg may have mistaken this as a reference to Evans and Doug Kennedy.

By the way, incidentally, all of this happened a year after Brett Kavanaugh had graduated from Georgetown Prep. Whether or not Kavanaugh ever partied at the Kennedy home in McLean, Virginia, no one has ever accused Kavanaugh of using cocaine, nor is there any evidence that Kavanaugh was acquainted with Douglas Kennedy or Derrick Evans, who were two years younger than him. So this bit in Feinberg’s story about David Kennedy’s overdose in Palm Beach doesn’t have any direct bearing on Kavanaugh. It was just a gaudy detail thrown into the story and yet it has resulted in her and Huffington Post being sued for defamation. Evans’ lawsuit describes HuffPo’s clumsy effort to contain the damage — which only made it worse:

Upon information and belief, Ms. Feinberg and HuffPost chose not to speak with Derrick Evans, Douglas Kennedy or informed members of law enforcement about the circumstances surrounding David Kennedy’s death before publication of the Original Defamatory Article because they knew that such individuals with knowledge of the actual facts would expose the falsity of their narrative. . . .
On Friday, September 21, 2018, an officer of Fox News, where Douglas Kennedy works as a reporter, contacted HuffPost on Mr. Kennedy’s behalf, informed it in no uncertain terms that its article was false and defamatory, and had obviously been published without any fact-checking whatsoever.
The Fox News officer told HuffPost that the Original Defamatory Article was so deficient it should be removed in its entirety from HuffPost’s website.
Instead of pulling down the offending article, HuffPost doubled down on its defamatory campaign against Mr. Evans by posting a purported “correction” at 6:19 p.m. on September 21, 2018, which declared:

This article previously stated incorrectly that Doug Kennedy was involved in helping his brother to purchase drugs in 1984. Kennedy was only sharing a room with Derrick Evans, who helped David purchase the drugs, according to an affidavit obtained by the New York Times. We regret the error. . . .

Despite having been informed by Mr. Kennedy’s representatives that their original statements about how David Kennedy acquired the cocaine were false, Defendants did not contact Mr. Evans for comment before publishing the falsehood that Derrick Evans “helped David purchase the drugs.” . . .
HuffPost and Ms. Feinberg knew that there was no affidavit “obtained by the New York Times” reflecting that Mr. Evans helped David Kennedy purchase illegal drugs, and that Defendants had no such affidavit in their possession.
Prior to publication of the Defamatory Correction, neither Ms. Feinberg nor her editors at HuffPost ever read or saw the affidavit referenced in the Defamatory Correction.
HuffPost does not have in its possession a copy of the affidavit referenced in the Defamatory Correction.

It seems obvious that, at the time, neither Feinberg nor her editors at HuffPo had any idea who Derrick Evans is, nor did it occur to them that they might have to defend this story in a Mississippi courtroom.

We can expect this case to be settled for a handsome sum, and probably pretty quickly, because there’s no way the defendants want Evans’ lawyers to get discovery — just imagine what sloppiness the private communications between Feinberg and her editors might reveal.

Ilhan Omar Implicated in Election Fraud

Posted on | September 28, 2020 | 3 Comments

 

Has any “bombshell” story ever been less surprising?

A ballot-harvesting racket in Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Minneapolis district — where paid workers illegally gather absentee ballots from elderly Somali immigrants — appears to have been busted by undercover news organization Project Veritas.
One alleged ballot harvester, Liban Mohamed, the brother of Minneapolis city council member Jamal Osman, is shown in a bombshell Snapchat video rifling through piles of ballots strewn across his dashboard.
“Just today we got 300 for Jamal Osman,” says Mohamed, aka KingLiban1, in the video. “I have 300 ballots in my car right now . . .
“Numbers don’t lie. You can see my car is full. All these here are absentee ballots. . . . Look, all these are for Jamal Osman,” he says, displaying the white envelopes.
“Money is the king in this world . . . and a campaign is driven by money.”
The video, posted on July 1, was obtained by Project Veritas and included in a 17-minute video expose released Sunday night.
Under Minnesota law no individual can be the “designated agent” for more than three absentee voters. . . .
“Our investigation into this ballot harvesting ring demonstrates clearly how these unscrupulous operators exploit the elderly and immigrant communities” said James O’Keefe, founder and CEO of Project Veritas.
The alleged involvement of Ilhan Omar, a controversial member of the Squad, and frequent Trump target, is claimed on camera by two people in Veritas’ investigation, including whistleblower Omar Jamal, a Minneapolis community leader and chair of the city’s Somali Watchdog Group.
He claims Mohamed is “one of” Ilhan Omar’s “many people.”
“It’s an open secret. She will do anything that she can do to get elected and she has hundreds of people on the streets doing that,” he told Veritas in an on-camera interview last Tuesday.
“It’s not only her. It’s all this DFL [Democratic-Farmers-Labor] machine [that’s] in . . . the state of Minnesota . . .
“The regulations, if you ignore that and you let corruption and fraud become a daily business and then tough luck, the country will not exist as they [Americans] know it.” . . .

But don’t worry, we can trust Democrats counting the votes, right?

Chicago Democrat Arrested Again

Posted on | September 28, 2020 | 1 Comment

 

Recently, I’ve stopped calling them criminals. They’re just Democrats:

Three Chicago men were arrested for Armed Robbery and other offenses following an incident in Joliet [Feb. 15].
According to the Joliet Police Department, officers arrested 43-year-old Tirnell Williams, 27-year-old Blaine Goodall and 44-year-old Tobert Walls for Armed Robbery.
Goodall and Walls were additionally charged in the incident with Aggravated Unlawful Restraint, Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Felon, Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Street Gang Member and Possession of a Stolen Vehicle; Goodall was also charged with Aggravated Fleeing and Eluding.
Officers responded to a business in the 2900 blk. of W. Jefferson St. at around 12:44 p.m. in reference to a hold-up alarm.
Responding officers were informed by staff that the store had just been robbed.
Two masked subjects armed with handguns allegedly entered the store and tied up everyone inside. The suspects then took numerous iPhones, iPads and an undetermined amount of cash from the register.
The suspects left the store and fled in an awaiting vehicle; no one inside the store was injured in the incident.
Officers located the vehicle near Bronk Rd. and Theodore St. and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle refused to pull over and officers began a pursuit.
Officials say the vehicle eventually got onto I-55 and fled at a high rate of speed. Officers lost sight of the vehicle and gave out a description to area law enforcement agencies.
A Will County Sheriff’s Deputy located the vehicle in the 15000 blk. of Janas Dr. in Lockport a short time later.
Officials say Walls was outside the vehicle and allegedly took off running when the deputy confronted him. Walls was taken into custody following the foot pursuit.
The vehicle allegedly took off again and was later located stuck in a snow bank in the 14000 blk. of W. Hickory Ave. in Lemont.
Williams was taken into custody without incident inside of the vehicle . . .
Two firearms were recovered, along with the proceeds of the robbery. Officials say the vehicle used was reported stolen out of Indiana.

Steal a car to use in an armed robbery. The wheelman in this caper, Tirnell Williams, has an extensive criminal record, but because Illinois is run by Democrats, he was turned loose to commit more crime:

A nine-time felon arranged to have “a real animal” rob and sexually assault a woman in a River North hotel last month as part of a scheme that he hoped would yield a large payout from Hilton Hotels Corporation, prosecutors said.
The alleged offender, who is on bail while awaiting trial for a suburban armed robbery, appeared in court using a wheelchair that prosecutors said is a prop that the perfectly-healthy man uses in an ongoing series of personal injury lawsuit scams.
Tirnell Williams, 43, rented a hotel room for his girlfriend and her friend to enjoy last month because the friend was planning to move out of town the next day. Unbeknownst to the friend, Williams was scheming to have her raped and robbed at the Home2Suites by Hilton, 110 West Huron, to set up a lawsuit against the hotel giant, prosecutors said. . . .
The victim entered the hotel, followed by a man who trailed her onto an elevator and then pulled her into a stairwell when she reached her guestroom floor. The attacker held a knife to the 32-year-old woman’s throat, sliced her purse off of her arm, removed her leggings, and shredded her underwear, prosecutors said Sunday.
Then, the attacker tied the woman to a handrail in the stairwell and forced her to perform a sex act. When the woman vomited, he sodomized the woman and fled down the staircase with her purse. . . .
Detectives later developed a witness who told them the hotel attack was a set-up by Williams because he knew the victim had a lot of cash in her purse. According to the state, Williams told the attacker to “stick his d*ck in the victim’s mouth five or six times” and said he hand-picked the attacker because he is “a real animal and he enjoys it.” . . .
Investigators secured court permission to surveil conversations with Williams in which he allegedly admitted to arranging the attack, although he claimed to not know she had been sexually assaulted. During the recorded conversations, Williams admitted he gets money by bringing cases to personal injury attorneys and said he planned to stage a second attack on a woman at a Hilton in Oaklawn on September 26, according to prosecutors.
The second attack would help establish a pattern of security issues at Hilton properties for the lawsuit, Williams allegedly said during the surveilled conversations.

The article goes on to mention one of the highlights of Williams’s lifelong criminal career: In 2015, he tried to murder an acquaintance. Williams and an accomplice tied the man up with an extension cord, then Williams put a pistol to the man’s head and pulled the trigger, but the gun wouldn’t fire, so he stabbed the man repeatedly, and then fled the scene of the crime covered in blood. At the time of that attempted murder, Williams was “on parole in a 2011 case in which he was found guilty of receiving or possession a stolen vehicle. In the past, he has served prison time for burglary, robbery, theft, drug possession and earlier stolen vehicle cases, according to Illinois Department of Corrections and court records.”

You see that Tirnell Williams has never even tried to work for a living. Instead, he has been perpetrating crime his entire adult life.

A Chicago Democrat, in other words.

George Floyd Mug Shot

Posted on | September 28, 2020 | Comments Off on George Floyd Mug Shot

 

That’s a photo from the Houston Police Department, where George Floyd was arrested in September 1998 on theft charges. Matt Berman was able to get multiple mug shots of Floyd from the Houston PD, which arrested Floyd on nine separate occasions between 1997 and 2009.

Why haven’t Americans seen these mug shots before? Berman explores this question, offering the most likely explanation: “Democrats are using this George Floyd incident to raise a lot of money, so they can’t risk having the general public begin thinking poorly of him.”
