URGENT: The left is going to war on the First Amendment

 Alex Berenson 

"In the last 48 hours, two extraordinary videos have arrived on X. The first features John Kerry, the Democratic candidate for President in 2004. The second is of Bill Gates, the world’s fifth-richest man and, with George Soros, its top left-leaning charity funder. Kerry’s video runs a mere two minutes. Gates’s lasts barely 30 seconds. And both should terrify anyone who believes in free speech. Both reveal that the top of the American left now explicitly rejects the First Amendment."

. . .Yes, Kerry openly called the First Amendment a “block” to his desire to regulate social media outlets that allow dissenting points of view.

Meanwhile, in his video, which came from a CNBC interview, Gates offered an even more specific example of speech that needed to be curtailed - vaccine skepticism:

We should have free speech, but if you're inciting violence, if you're causing people not to take vaccines, you know, where are those boundaries, that even the US, ahh, should have rules...

" Gates then went on to suggest that artificial intelligence could be used to censor dissenting speech instantly, since allowing it for even a day would be too long.

The left’s antipathy to the First Amendment began in 2016, when Donald Trump overcame the hostility of the entire establishment and a massive fundraising disadvantage to beat Hillary Clinton.

"It worsened in 2020 and 2021, when aggressive media and government coordination around Covid fearmongering and mRNA promotion could not completely suppress dissent on social media. That pushback led to open (and secret) pressure on the platforms to censor.

Now, the fact Donald Trump has much more than a puncher’s chance of returning to the White House in November appears to be driving the left insane. Thus the increasing calls for still more aggressive government-led censorship efforts." . . .

Wait! I thought Democrats loathed the Cheneys!

Change? How's this for change? The neighborhood our sons grew up in is lined with cars, tents in the backyards, and porta potties in driveways since Biden opened the border. Yet half the people in America want this man and his yokefellows to continue ruling our nation, along with celebrities in gated homes who should know better. TD

Huh? Kamala campaigns with the hated Liz Cheney…   

. . ."Cheney’s willingness to work with Harris, whom Cheney previously described as a “radical liberal,” does not come as a surprise. Cheney endorsed Harris in September because of the “danger” that Trump allegedly poses. “I have thought deeply about this, and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris,” she claimed: . . ."

David Axelrod Says the Quiet Part Out Loud as Biden Blocks Ongoing Rescue Efforts, Claims Hurricane Helene Victims in North Carolina Are Mainly Trump Voters Who Will Find it Hard to Vote

 Cristina Laila; The Gateway Pundit  

"Joe Biden says all the people in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina are getting everything they need and are “very happy.' ” Clay Travis

"Obama-Harris whisperer David Axelrod, host of the “Axe Files” podcast, said the quiet part out loud as the Biden Regime blocks ongoing rescue operations in North Carolina.

"Axelrod said Hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina are mainly Trump voters who will find it hard to vote in the 2024 election.

"David Axelrod said affected Democrats from Asheville are “upscale liberal voters, and they’re probably going to figure out a way to vote. I’m not sure a bunch of these folks who had their homes and lives destroyed elsewhere, in western North Carolina, in the mountains, there are going to be as easy to wrangle for the Trump campaign.”. . .

. . ."Over 200 Americans are dead after Hurricane Helene and the thousands of victims impacted have been disgracefully left behind. The Biden administration has blocked ongoing rescue operations and North Carolina is living in the dark ages because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris hate Elon Musk. FEMA is now out of money, because Joe Biden and Kamala spent over a billion dollars of FEMA cash on migrants. Illegals got luxury hotel rooms, but Kamala’s just tossing Helene victims $750 and heading back on the campaign trail. This must not meet her standard for giving extra resources- she only wants to do that based on equity,” Jesse Watters said." . . .

Bruce Springsteen Endorses Kamala Harris, Slams President Trump as “the Most Dangerous Candidate for President in My Lifetime”

MSNBC and the ladies of "The View" will love this even more that the bullet that grazed Trump's ear. TD

 Kristinn Taylor; the Gateway Pundit  

Springsteen, who has largely held on to his liberal fan base, is on a month-long break in his current world tour with shows set for Canada in late October and November, leaving him available to play Kamala Harris rallies the next few weeks to help her draw crowds like he did for Barack Obama.

A look back at Springsteen's judgment and wisdom in selecting those who run America: 

"75-year-old rocker Bruce Springsteen endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in a nearly three minute long video posted to social media Thursday evening. The endorsement, which comes as no surprise as “the Boss” has endorsed every Democrat presidential nominee for decades, follows pop star Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Harris last month. Springsteen called Trump “the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.”

"Swift’s endorsement had little positive to a small net negative impact on the race according to polls. Springsteen’s longtime association with the Democrats, including his friendship with Barack Obama, will likely mean his endorsement will have little impact on the race except to remind conservatives who were once fans of Springsteen why they no longer go to his shows or buy his music, even if they don’t turn the dial when Dancing in the Dark or Born to Run comes on the radio." . . .

Perhaps Bruce should stop watching MSNBC:

NEW EVIDENCE: Tucker Carlson Releases SHOCKING Unseen Footage of Trump Assassination Attempt

Gateway Pundit  

The footage is part of Tucker’s latest documentary, which covers the events of July 13th at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania and the failures of the Secret Service on that most extraodinary of days.

BREAKING: Tucker Carlson releases NEW footage of the Trump assassination attempt from Butler
This is some of the rawest footage we've ever seen of those moments. The camera was in the line of firepic.twitter.com/lW5LVesiNT

— Jack Poso 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) October 3, 2024

"Tucker Carlson has released shocking unseen footage of the first assassination attempt against Donald Trump.

"The raw footage, captured across various cameras, shows attendees at the rally warning the Secret Service that the attempted shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, successfully scaled a nearby roof before coming inches away from assassinating the former president.

In separate footage, attendees are seen sheltering themselves from the gunfire, which sadly killed firefighter Corey Comperatore and seriously wounded two others.

"Such footage corroborates the view that the Secret Service drastically failed in its duties to secure the area, a failure that led to the resignation of its director, Kimberley Cheatle." . . .

Throw in the usual security concerns that "everything gets hacked" and Big Tech's history of complying with secret FISA warrants, and you can see that AI-collated databases like DRN's are goldmines for hackers and Feds alike. 

"It all started in Great Britain — aka Airstrip One in Orwell's "1984" — with the installation of surveillance cameras virtually everywhere. Now they're being weaponized with artificial intelligence into a searchable database tracking where Americans drive and even what we believe. 

"Images collected nationwide by DRN Data—a license-plate recognition (LPR) company owned by Motorola Solutions—go far beyond what you might expect from an LPR. A report in Wired this week details how DRN's vehicle-mounted cameras go everywhere and take pictures and videos of everything.

"You're probably already used to that sort of thing, sad to say, thanks to companies like Google and Apple sending out their camera cars to keep their GPS navigation mapping apps up-to-date. But Wired's investigation into DRN shows there's so much more going on under the hood.

Another image taken on a different day by a different vehicle shows a “Steelworkers for Harris-Walz” sign stuck in the lawn in front of someone’s home. A construction worker, with his face unblurred, is pictured near another Harris sign. Other photos show Trump and Biden (including “F*ck Biden”) bumper stickers on the back of trucks and cars across America. One photo, taken in November 2023, shows a partially torn bumper sticker supporting the Obama-Biden lineup.

These images were generated by AI-powered cameras mounted on cars and trucks, initially designed to capture license plates, but which are now photographing political lawn signs outside private homes, individuals wearing T-shirts with text, and vehicles displaying pro-abortion bumper stickers—all while recording the precise locations of these observations. Newly obtained data reviewed by WIRED shows how a tool originally intended for traffic enforcement has evolved into a system capable of monitoring speech protected by the US Constitution.

"But it isn't the images themselves that are concerning. The same AI tech that lets your smartphone copy text out of a photograph allows DRN's servers to "read" much more than just license plates." . . .

OMG: MSNBC Producer Admits Network is ‘Doing All They Can’ to Help Elect Kamala Harris

 Hamdan also didn’t shy away from criticizing the network’s audience, stating, “They’ve made their viewers dumber over the years,” and explaining that MSNBC is “too cozy with Democratic politicians.”

"James O’Keefe strikes again!

"O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) on Thursday released undercover video of Basel Hamdan, a producer for MSNBC, admitting the network is doing all they can to elect Kamala Harris.

"Hamdan also told the OMG undercover journalist that MSNBC has made their viewers “dumber over the years.”

"Via OMG:

During an undercover date with an OMG journalist, Basel Hamdan, a writer and producer for MSNBC’s show “Ayman,” was asked what the network has done to assist the Kamala Harris campaign. Hamdan revealed on hidden camera that “what her [Harris’s] message of the day is, is their message of the day,” as MSNBC actively pushes Harris’s narrative to help her win. He admitted that MSNBC is doing “all they can to help,” Harris get elected, with the network operating as an extension of the campaign. He went on to say, “MSNBC is indistinguishable from the party,” further highlighting their partisan agenda.

In discussing the relationships between the MSNBC hosts and Democratic politicians, Hamdan reveals, ”The anchor and the politician are just in total agreement about everything.” He adds, “If you watch an interview with a Democratic politician, they just finish each other’s sentences.” 

 Hamdan also didn’t shy away from criticizing the network’s audience, stating, “They’ve made their viewers dumber over the years,” and explaining that MSNBC is “too cozy with Democratic politicians.”   (Emphasis mine. TD)

“So do you feel like MSNBC is doing enough to help the Harris campaign?” the OMG undercover journalist asked Basel Hamdan.

“ 'I mean, they’re doing all they can to help,” Hamdan said." . . .

MSNBC host left stunned as star impeachment witness reveals why he is now backing Trump

UK Daily Mail 

"'I live in a bucolic city of Portland, Oregon, which has been destroyed by those policies. Absolutely decimated. Businesses are suffering. My own business is suffering solely for political reasons, and it's all fixable and they don't want to fix it,' Sondland complained."

"MSNBC's Ari Melber was left shocked when Gordon Sondland, a star witness during former President Donald Trump's first impeachment, said he planned to vote for the Republican nominee. 

"Sondland served as Trump's ambassador to the European Union and testified against him in 2019 when he was accused of holding up Ukraine funding in an effort to pressure President Volodymyr Zelensky into announcing investigations into Joe and Hunter Biden. 

"During a segment Wednesday night, Melber pointed to Sondland's rejection of Trump in the aftermath of the January 6 Capitol attack and asked him if he still felt that way. 

" 'No, I don't stand by it and I'll tell you why,' he said during a panel discussion alongside other ex-Trump officials including Peter Navarro and Sarah Matthews. 

" 'I've now lived four years under the Biden-Harris policies and I have to say that those policies are not only becoming an existential threat to our country's way of life, but to our allies as well,' Sondland argued. " . . .

But hey; Bruce Springsteen will never fail Kamala! He's an Obama man through and through.

Vulnerable Democrat Congressman Has Ties to Radical Islam

Sarah Arnold

Democrats have been known for supporting Muslims because they comprise a significant part of the left’s electorate. The goal of both the Democrats and Islamists is to destroy the modern society.

"Vulnerable North Carolina Democrat Don Davis (NC-01) reportedly has ties to the radical arm of the Nation of Islam as threats of terrorism encompassing the U.S. intensify.

"As Israel continues to defend itself from Iranian-backed terrorist groups, Democrats also continue to protect and support Islam and Muslims. In Davis’ 1994 Air Force Academy yearbook, he wrote about Islam and claimed that it fits into the modern U.S. world. He called for the elimination of the “PARADIGM and Modern Lynching,” which is a common topic of conversation in the Islamic world from those who want to push Islam onto the world, including Americans. 

"Davis is referring to a movement within the religion to “re-establish Islam as a living concept” to focus it on the present since he and others believe the religion is too focused on the past and the future. 

"The Democrat also wrote about Minister Shabazz, also known as Malcolm X, who changed his name to “El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz” in 1964 after he traveled to Mecca. Malcolm X is credited with shaping the Islamic influence in the United States. He also nodded to verse HQ 45:18 from the Quran, which says, “Then We put you, [O Muhammad], on an ordained way concerning the matter [of religion]; so follow it and do not follow the inclinations of those who do not know.” Some research analysts say the verse means that the mission has “been entrusted to the children of Israel before you has now been entrusted to you'.” . . .

Democrats May Come From Venus, And Republicans Come From Mars, But Most Still Distrust The Media

 Terry Jones – Issues & Insights  

It may be that after four years of creeping censorship and post-pandemic public silencing, a large share of Americans no longer trust anyone to protect their rights, even those media outlets that seem to agree with them. If so, media of all stripes might be in bigger trouble with the public than they realize.

"No matter which major party’s candidate wins this election, there’s one sure loser: The media. By nearly two-to-one, voters say they have little or no trust in either the mainstream big media or the alternative media. Can a country survive when two thirds of its people distrust the reporting of its main news outlets?

""In the September I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,582 adults, taken from Aug. 28-Aug. 30 with a margin of error of +/-2.6 percentage points, there was more glum news for the nation’s major news outlets. Americans profoundly distrust the stories they tell and how they tell them.

Kristin Welker

That’s not an exaggeration. As it does each month, I&I/TIPP asked Americans for this month’s poll:

“Generally speaking, how much trust do you have in the traditional or established news media (Example: Washington Post, New York Times, NPR, CBS News, etc.) to report the news accurately and fairly?”

"The answer: Just 35% said they either trusted the mainstream “traditional” media “a lot” (13%) or “quite a bit” (22%). On the flip side, 60% said they had either “little trust” (32%) or “no trust at all” (28%)."

If cheater and alleged abuser Doug Emhoff is the new face of masculinity, the Dems are up a creek

Jen Psaki gushed over Doug Emhoff “reshaping masculinity” despite admitting he had an affair with his

"Or someone who hasn’t been accused of forcefully slapping their girlfriend in public — even as he’s heralded as the biggest lift-up-the-ladies dude since Jerry Springer played the Masculine Feminist on “Married with Children.”

"Just three days ago, in an MSNBC interview, Jen Psaki gushed over the feminism of Kamala Harris’ husband, telling Emhoff that he “reshaped the perception of masculinity” and was a “wife guy.”

"Emhoff shamelessly said that he was always that way: “It’s the right thing to do … women should not be less than.”

"That is, unless that lady’s story gets in the way of the left’s empty “believe all women” narrative."  . . .

The Harris campaign quickly defused the rumors by refusing to answer questions from the press and ignoring requests for statements. Sources close to Kamala say the order for the wife-beater-style tank tops was already placed before the allegations came to light.

"Kamala is furious," stated an anonymous source said. "She told us this was our fault for allowing members of the media to know who her husband is. Also, she asked us to get Hillary on the phone so the Clintons could get in touch with the woman who was assaulted. She didn't say why though." . . .
