Teen Faces 14 Years in Jail for Sharing Live Steam of New Zealand Mosque Attack

An 18-year-old New Zealand man is facing 14 years in prison for sharing a live stream video on Facebook of the Christchurch mosque shooting massacre after he was denied bail in a Monday court hearing. Police say the teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was not involved in the tragic attack last Friday that left 50 people dead and many more injured. A 28-year-old Australian man, Brenton Tarrant, has been charged with the Friday afternoon murders. The teen Facebook poster appeared before Christchurch District Court on Monday and was denied bail by Judge Stephen O'Driscoll but granted an interim name suppression order. Aside from sharing the Facebook Live video, the young man has also been charged with allegedly posting a photograph on social media of one of the South Island mosques being attacked with the caption "target acquired" along with other messages "inciting extreme violence." In response to the attacks, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has confirmed she is moving to tighten national gun laws, following one of the world's worst peacetime shooting massacres in history.

Democratic Governor Pushes Bill To Allow 'Non-Doctors' To Perform Abortions By Paul Whitehead

Democratic Governor Pushes Bill To Allow 'Non-Doctors' To Perform Abortions

If pushing for bills allowing late-term abortions in more states wasn't enough, Democratic Gov. Janet Mills has proposed new legislation that will allow people who are not doctors to perform abortions.The bill would enable registered nurses, certified nurse-midwives and other medical professionals to perform abortions, the Bangor Daily News reported.“Every woman in Maine should be able to access reproductive health care when and where she needs it, regardless of her zip code,” Mills said in a prepared statement, the Sun Journal reported.“Allowing advanced nurse practitioners and physician assistants to perform medication-administered abortions, which are already permitted in other states, will ensure Maine women, especially in rural areas of our state, can access reproductive health care services,” she said.

Beto O’Rourke Apologizes for Being a White Male as 2020 Campaign Crumbles By Jay Greenberg

Beto O’Rourke Apologizes for Being a White Male as 2020 Campaign Crumbles

Liberal sensation Beto O'Rourke is having a bad week after being accused of making sexist comments about his wife just a day after shady online posts emerged, in which he wrote about killing people and made misogynistic statements. The Democratic 2020 hopeful apologized on Saturday for being a white male following a backlash from his liberal supporters after he joked about how his wife raises their three children without his full support. It took Robert "Beto" O'Rourke a full two days to apologize for his gender and skin color after announcing his candidacy, which is perhaps some sort of record. O'Rourke made his apology during a "Political Party LIVE!" podcast appearance after joking about his wife doing most of the work raising their children. O'Rourke said that his wife Amy is raising their three kids "sometimes with my help." Beto tells a coffee shop crowd that he just talked with his wife, Amy. “She is raising, sometimes with my help,” their three kids. Then says he’s running for president for his kids, and theirs. — Matt Viser (@mviser) March 14, 2019

Trump Dossier Author Admits Source Was Fake News Stories Found Online By Jay Greenberg

Trump Dossier Author Admits Source Was Fake News Stories Found Online

Former British spy Christopher Steele has admitted that he used fake news stories he found online as sources for the now-infamous Trump-Russia dossier he authored. In his stunning confession, Steele admits that a key source was a CNN website called "CNN iReport" that allowed users to upload unverified and unedited stories. The site allowed anyone to publish articles, fabricated or not, without needing approval and without being fact-checked. To put it into perspective, it works in the same way as any public forum, so using it as a source would equate to using a work of fiction that has been posted anonymously to a site such as Reddit or 4Chan. In other words, any person could write anything – true, fiction or fantasy, and it could have been used as the material for the anti-Trump dossier. This Trump dossier was then used as the pretense for FBI spying on Trump Team individuals and obtaining FISA warrants. Steele made the shameful confession during a deposition last year in a case involving Russian tech entrepreneur Aleksej Gubarev. Gubarev claims his companies Webzilla and XBT Holdings were defamed by Steele after the dossier was published by BuzzFeed. Steele was asked during the deposition how he verified allegations about Gubarev's companies and whether he found “anything of relevance concerning Webzilla,” according to the newly released transcripts of the deposition. “We did. It was an article I have got here which was posted on July 28, 2009, on something called CNN iReport,” Steele said.

Ocasio-Cortez Explodes, Blames 'White Men' for Her Soaring Unpopularity By Paul Whitehead

Ocasio-Cortez Explodes, Blames 'White Men' for Her Soaring Unpopularity

Progressive socialist congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reacted badly to a recent poll revealing a hugely "unfavorable" rating amongst Americans.  Yesterday, we reported the socialist Democrat was as unpopular as Sen. Ted Cruz when he tried to defund Obamacare in 2013 which resulted in a government shutdown. According to the Gallup poll released on Friday, Ocasio-Cortez's "unfavorable" rating more than doubled her rise in "favorable ratings." "Half of U.S. adults were unfamiliar with or had no opinion of her in September after her seismic primary win over the summer, but that figure has shrunk to 29% today," Gallup reported. "But the increased visibility has not improved her overall standing with Americans."

Elite Lifestyle: ‘Socialist’ Bernie Sanders Has 3 Houses, Earns Millions By Jay Greenberg

Elite Lifestyle: ‘Socialist’ Bernie Sanders Has 3 Houses, Earns Millions

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has entered the 2020 presidential race promising to fight income equality and economic imbalance, yet the wealthy socialist has three houses himself and earns millions. Sen. Sanders (I-Vt) entered the 2020 race this week, vowing to transform America with a left-wing vision of environmental and economic justice. However, the self-described democratic socialist’s multiple houses, fondness for air travel, and high-end income have already opened him up to criticism that his elite lifestyle doesn't match his rhetoric. Sanders pitches himself as a grassroots economic populist, focusing on income inequality and increasing taxes for the rich. "Our campaign is about transforming our country and creating a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice," he said in a pitch. I’m running for president because, now more than ever, we need leadership that brings us together – not divides us up. I need you to be a part of this million person movement to transform our country. Join me: https://t.co/qF3DpJmRX3 pic.twitter.com/3wtNIEkH32 — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) February 20, 2019 "Together you and I and our 2016 campaign began the political revoution," he said. "Now it is time to complete that revolution and implement the vision that we fought for."

Liberals Complain Charcoal Face Masks are 'Blackface' & 'Racist' - Call for Ban By Jay Greenberg

Liberals Complain Charcoal Face Masks are 'Blackface' & 'Racist' - Call for Ban

Liberals are taking to social media to express their outrage at black charcoal face masks because when applied to the skin, they resemble "blackface" and are, therefore, "racist." The facial skin cleansing masks contain highly absorbent activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, that has a deep cleaning effect on pores. Activated carbon has a deep black coloring and, as a result, the facemasks that contain a high quantity of this compound are also black. Due to the growing trend of hypersensitivity towards things that slightly resemble racist symbolism, people who use charcoal facemasks are now accused of "promoting" racism through "blackface in disguise."
