Breonna Taylor: The True Story of a BLM Hero

"Hey, guys, I found out the true facts in the Breonna Taylor case!"

Ann Coulter 

 

"Remember the “botched raid” (New York Times) on Breonna’s apartment in Louisville, Kentucky, last March, when police officers killed this innocent black woman as she slept peacefully in her bed?

"Yes, apparently, without announcing themselves, the police smashed in the front door of the WRONG APARTMENT. Their warrant was for a man Breonna had dated eons ago and barely knew anymore, and whom they already had in custody! Assuming the police were home invaders, Breonna’s boyfriend pulled out a gun — again, police were at the WRONG APARTMENT — whereupon the officers opened fire, killing Breonna and wounding one of their own in friendly fire.

"You probably won’t believe this, but it turns out, none of that is true.

"Contrary to the repeated claim that the police “had the wrong address and the wrong person and the person was in custody” — as the Rev. Al Sharpton put it — the police were not at the wrong house at all.

"It seems that Breonna Taylor was knee-deep in the criminal enterprise of her sometime-boyfriend, Jamarcus Glover, who was running a massive drug operation, selling crack cocaine and fentanyl to the citizens of Louisville.

"The morning after Breonna was killed, for example, Jamarcus told his baby mama (on a police-recorded phone call): “This is what you got to understand, don’t take it wrong, but Bre been handling all my money, she been handling my money … She been handling sh*t for me and Cuz, it ain’t just me.”

"He detailed the amounts when an unidentified male got on the line, saying, “Tell Cuz, Bre got down like $15 (grand), she had the $8 (grand) I gave her the other day and she picked up another $6 (grand).”

"And yet, the media credulously repeated that Breonna barely knew Jamarcus, based on the family’s lawyer, Sam Aguiar, saying that they had broken up two years earlier and had only a “passive friendship.”

"In addition to “handling sh*t” for Jamarcus, Breonna had bailed Jamarcus out of jail, driven with him to a “trap house” (where the drugs were sold), and allowed him to use her address — the site of the raid — for his mail, phone bills, a bank account and jail bookings. All this in 2020.

"Police GPS tracking showed that Jamarcus had been to Breonna’s apartment six times in January alone, and had called her from jail dozens of times since they had allegedly broken up.

"Jan. 3, 2020:"  "Jamarcus: “Just be on standby so you can come get me. Love you.”

DeVos pleads with Education Department staff to 'be the resistance': report

 Fox News   

'Be the resistance against forces that will derail you from doing what’s right for students,' DeVos said

"Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Tuesday pleaded with department staff involved in transitioning to the Biden administration to "be the resistance" against not doing what's right for students.

"Devos made the statement during a virtual Department of Education meeting to discuss transition plans as President-elect Joe Biden prepares to take office, as Politico first reported, citing a recording of the meeting obtained by the outlet.

"Let me leave you with this plea: Resist," DeVos said. "Be the resistance against forces that will derail you from doing what’s right for students. In everything you do, please put students first – always."

CNN liberal apologists caught burying The Post’s Hunter Biden exposé: Devine

 

Miranda Devine  "The collusion of mainstream media and Big Tech to censor The Post’s Hunter Biden story now is laid bare in leaked recordings of CNN’s news meetings from the time.

"CNN boss Jeff Zucker is heard instructing his staff to downplay the bombshell story that implicated Joe Biden in a shady foreign influence-peddling scheme, according to audio released Tuesday by undercover news outlet Project Veritas.

"On the morning of Oct. 14, the day we published an email from Hunter’s abandoned laptop in which a top executive from corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma thanked Hunter for arranging a meeting with his then-VP father, CNN political director David Chalian is heard telling Zucker and his underlings that the news network would not cover the story.

“ 'Obviously, we’re not going with the New York Post story right now on Hunter Biden,” said Chalian. “We’ll just continue to report out this is the very stuff that the president was impeached over . . . that Senate committees looked at and found nothing wrong in Joe Biden’s interactions with Ukrainians.”

"Chalian, who oversees all of CNN’s political coverage, was not being straight with his colleagues.

"This was new evidence reflecting on Joe Biden’s integrity, suggesting that despite repeated denials, he had met with an executive of the company that was paying his wayward son up to $83,000 a month to sit on its board, at a time when Burisma was looking for favors from the US government and he was vice president.

"This was the first concrete link between Joe and his family’s shady foreign business deals, and there was much more to come over the next few days, all ignored or pooh-poohed by CNN in a naked bid to protect the Biden campaign from legitimate scrutiny." . . .

'A self-portrait of America': Andrew Cuomo unveils 10-foot-tall mask sculpture amid PPE shortage

 

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Washington Examiner  . . . "During his Wednesday press conference addressing the pandemic, New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo unveiled the sculpture, which he called "a self-portrait of America."

" 'I'm going to show you a self-portrait that was done by American people," he said. "This is a self-portrait of America, OK? That's a self-portrait of America, and you know what it spells? It spells love. That's what it spells. You have to look carefully, but that's what the American people are saying."

"Cuomo said his office received "thousands of masks" from people who wanted to show their support for New Yorkers in the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic.

" 'A little bit more of this and a little bit less of the partisanship and the ugliness, and this country would be a better place," he added.

"The masks, which were mostly made of cloth, are not medical-grade equipment and would not be effective in a hospital scenario. However, spectators online pointed out the spectacle comes at a time when residents are required to wear face coverings in public." . . .

House GOPs Call on Nancy Pelosi to Remove Eric Swalwell from Intelligence Committee

 Breitbart

"A group of House Republicans called on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to remove Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) from the House Intelligence Committee following a report that he was targeted by a suspected Chinese spy in a years-long political intelligence operation.

"The letter, signed by top Republicans in the House, said:

Because of Rep. Swalwell’s position on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, his close interactions with Chinese intelligence services, however unintentional they may be, are an unacceptable national security risk. HPSCI handles some of the most sensitive information our government possesses — information critical to our national defense. As such, we urge you to immediately remove Rep. Swalwell from his position on the House Intelligence Committee.

"Last week, Axios reported that a suspected Chinese spy named Christine Fang, or Fang Fang, believed to be working with China’s Ministry of State Security had developed extensive ties with Swalwell as part of a multi-year spy operation that lasted from 2011 to 2015.

"Fang reportedly met Swalwell when he was a council member for Dublin City, California, between 2010 and 2012. Swalwell was elected to Congress in 2012. Fang reportedly had romantic relationships with at least two Midwestern mayors, and Swalwell has refused to say whether his relationship with Fang was romantic. Fang reportedly raised campaign funds for Swalwell as a bundler and helped place at least one intern in his congressional offices." . . .

Introducing the man slated to run the Department of Transportation

DonkeyHotey

Andrea Widburg  "Joe Biden is continuing to hand out spoils based upon his claimed election
victory. Some positions are going to the technocrats who ran cover for him when his massive family corruption came to light. Other positions are going to leftist activists. Biden has selected Pete Buttigieg as his pet gay activist. After mulling making Buttigieg the Ambassador to China, Biden opted, instead, to hand him the Department of Transportation. That’s quite a plum assignment for a guy with a pathetic administrative record." . . .

. . . "South Bend, incidentally, while it’s the 306th largest city in America is 69th in a list of America’s most dangerous cities. Another site explains that both its violent crime and property crime rates are almost twice the U.S. average.

. . . "Our potential future Transportation Secretary had the following accomplishments:

• He demoted the city’s first black police chief for illegal conduct and then groveled apologetically when BLM became a thing.
• He presided over the gentrification of black neighborhoods.
• He helped create a nightly laser light show, paid for with privately raised funds.
• He made a budget proposal that would have combined three separate departments into one to save costs and improve efficiency . . . but his proposal failed.
• He opposed Indiana’s Senate Bill 101 (the Religious Freedom Restoration Act), which allows individuals and companies to assert as a defense in legal proceedings that charges against them or demands on them violate their religious freedom. That’s when he came out of the closet and found his political identity: The Gay Mayor.
• He invested in city parks and leveraged federal funds to help prevent sewage overflow.
• He launched a “home repair” initiative, making funds available to residents wanting to do home repairs, especially Green repairs.

"There’s more at the Wikipedia link but, generally speaking, color me underwhelmed." . . .

Black Lives Matter Opposes Pete Buttigieg for Transportation Secretary  . . . "As Fox News noted, Buttigieg was criticized in South Bend for failing to fix potholes in his city, whose roads were regarded as among the worst in the state.

"In addition, Buttigieg faced opposition from the local black community after he demoted the city’s first black police chief, and after a white police officer shot and killed a black man named Eric Logan. Black Lives Matter activists followed Buttigieg on the campaign trail and protested him repeatedly.

"His attempts to reach out to the black community — including obsequious visits with Al Sharpton — struck many as pandering. In South Carolina, for example,Buttigieg told black voters that he did not have their “lived experience.” He also routinely drew criticism for overstating his black support." . . .

How NASA’s Leadership and Policy May Change Under the Biden Administration

"Whoever President-elect Biden selects as the next chief administrator of NASA, it is crucial they support commercial space partnerships that have thrived under the Obama and Trump administrations.. . . "

 Reason  . . . "Despite increased investment in space operations world-wide, space policy was hardly included in President-elect Joe Biden’s policy planning discussions. As The Verge put it, “The Biden campaign has said virtually nothing about how the president-elect would set space policy, other than noting that climate change and Earth science would be a big focus of the upcoming administration.”

"We do know that NASA’s current chief administrator, Jim Bridenstine, announced he will be stepping down as the organization’s top executive after Biden takes the oath of office. And some space professionals have predicted Biden will likely look to appoint the first female NASA administrator in replacing Bridenstine.

"The Biden administration recently released its National Aeronautics and Space Administration transition team which includes a multitude of experienced and respected space professionals. Not only will this team help advise Biden on who the next NASA chief appointee should be but should also help lay the groundwork for Biden’s NASA policy and transition the agency to fit these goals." . . .
