Senator Kamala Harris is the most oppressed politician in California. Honestly, if it weren't for busing, she would have never slept her way up the political ladder and ended up marrying a white Jewish lawyer and living in his luxurious Brentwood home.
Smashing into the top spot is Senator Kamala Harris, who lives in a four-bedroom, 3,505-square-foot spread in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. An aerial view of the posh neighborhood reveals a pool in nearly every yard and even an outdoor basketball court at her neighbor's house. Senator Harris lives with her husband – intellectual property lawyer, Doug Emhoff – who in addition to a trust bearing both their initials, is the official owner of the house. The couple reported $1.9 million in joint earnings last year.
The couple lives in a 3,500-square foot, Brentwood contemporary with three large bedroom suites, a spa-like master bathroom and a kidney-shaped pool in the backyard. Emhoff purchased the home though a family trust for $2.7 million in 2012, before the two were married.
Stock holdings in Emhoff’s individual retirement account, which “were funded prior to marriage,” were sold shortly after Harris announced her Senate bid, according to financial disclosures. Those stocks included investments in companies such as Citicorp, Wells Fargo, Valero Energy, Walt Disney Co. and Monsanto.
Altogether, the couple had between $1.5 million and $4 million in assets in 2015, not including the two homes, and $200,000 to $500,000 in liabilities, according to the Senate disclosure.
And that little girl in the kidney shaped pool in one of the most segregated neighborhoods in Los Angeles... was me.
Put that on a t-shirt.

FREEDOM TO DISSENT & THE NEW BLACKLIST IN AMERICA

FREEDOM TO DISSENT & THE NEW BLACKLIST

Every July 4 since our nation declared independence in 1776, Americans have celebrated this truth:
“…that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” 1
The Declaration of Independence rejected unjust laws imposed by a privileged ruling class. The guiding principles of the Declaration of Independence were codified into the Bill of Rights to limit the power of government and protect our unalienable natural rights.
The First Amendment of the Constitution states that:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” 2
Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Freedom of Thought, Conscience, Religion
After World War II, natural rights were defined internationally as human rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights published in 1948 states: 3
“Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person;” and
“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood; and
“No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks;” and
“Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance;” and
“Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”
These are among the globally recognized human rights that protect individuals and minorities from discrimination and the kind of government oppression that President Thomas Jefferson talked about when he warned:
“All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.” 4
Freedom to Dissent Hallmark of Freedom
silence
The legal right to dissent has been a hallmark of freedom in America. Unlike in authoritarian governments, 5 in our country, citizens have the right and responsibility to participate in the law making process. We have – or should have – the freedom to openly debate government policy, law and ethics in public forums and dissent from the majority without fear of intimidation or punishment. 6 7
But two and a half centuries after the Declaration of Independence, that is changing.
Autonomy, Protection of Bodily Integrity Attacked By New Ruling Class
An unprecedented attack on civil liberties and the right to dissent is being led by a new privileged ruling class whose power is not derived from aristocratic titles, wealth and political influence linked to genetic heritage and ownership of land. The power of the new ruling class in America is derived from academic titles, wealth and political influence linked to corporatized government 8 910 11 12 13 that seeks ownership of our physical bodies. 14 15 16 17 18
The right to autonomy and protection of bodily integrity is the first human right. 19 20 If you cannot voluntarily decide when and for what reason you are willing to risk your life or the life of your child, your unalienable right to life and liberty has been taken from you.
Whether you do or do not agree that every liability free vaccine product sold by pharmaceutical companies is safe and effective, or that federal vaccine policy is anchored with sound science, or that mandatory vaccination laws without informed consent protections are moral, you should take a hard look at recent actions by government officials and corporations to censor and repeal civil liberties that safeguard your human right to autonomy and protection of bodily integrity.
Defaming People and Delegitimizing Civil Liberties with Yellow Journalism
The extraordinary efforts by industry, medical trade and government to delegitimize free speech about vaccination unless it conforms with government policy has given a green light to corporate-owned mainline media outlets to use name-calling and other yellow journalism techniques to legitimize the stripping of civil liberties from public health laws. Today, any parent, 21 22 23doctor, 24 25 research scientist, 26 27 journalist, 28 29 celebrity, 30 31 32 politician, 33philanthropist 34 35 or non-governmental organization 36 37 38 asking questions about the quality of vaccine science or the ethics of laws requiring use of a liability-free pharmaceutical product that can harm or fail to work, is immediately labeled as an “anti-vaxxer” 39 40 41 42 and publicly defamed, 43 humiliated, 44 discredited 45 and relentlessly targeted for personal and professional ruin. 46 47 48
When the risks of vaccination turn out to be 100 percent for a child and parents describe what happened, their suffering is magnified when journalists gaslight them for witnessing in the public square. It is a shameful display of ignorance and prejudice against biologically vulnerable children and their parents who have been compelled to unequally bear the risks of vaccination for society, and are being demonized for advocating for safer vaccines and more scientifically informed and humane public health policies. 49 50 51 52 Most of all, it is a dangerous assault on freedom of speech by a profession that should be pushing back on discrimination and the erosion of civil liberties, not actively condoning it.
Despite Congress officially acknowledging the fact that vaccines can injure and kill in the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, 53 and even though the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2011 that government licensed vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe” so that the multi-billion dollar vaccine industry cannot be held accountable in a court of law for failing to improve the safety of vaccine products, 54 today anyone who publicly questions vaccine safety or advocates for voluntary vaccination is treated like a criminal.
Well-referenced, factual information about vaccine risks and failures is being automatically slapped with the label “misinformation” so it can be censored. 55
Those who advocate for informed consent protections in vaccine laws are called “anti-vaccine” so they can be silenced.
benjamin franklin quote
Benjamin Franklin, co-author of the Declaration of Independence, 56 warned:
“Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins.” 57
Half of US Adults Doubt Vaccine Safety
When people are oppressed by unjust laws and speak up, those in control of lawmaking often resort to censorship to silence calls for reform and force compliance. Your freedom to think, speak and dissent has been put in jeopardy this year at precisely the same time that growing numbers of people in the U.S., Europe and other nations are expressing increased, legitimate concern about the safety of vaccines. 58 59
A recent poll found that nearly half of American adults doubt vaccine safety and of the 45 percent who do, 16 percent were influenced by online information, 16 percent were influenced by knowledge of past secrets and wrongdoing by the pharmaceutical industry and 12 percent were influenced by information from medical experts. 60
Government Officials Call for Censorship of Freedom of Speech on the Internet
So this year, powerful federal legislators have sent a series of letters telling the CEO’s of Google, Facebook and Amazon 61 62 that, “there is no evidence to suggest that vaccines cause life-threatening or disabling diseases,” and that, “the dissemination of unfounded and debunked theories about the dangers of vaccination a great risk to public health.” 63 The social media platforms were directed to remove vaccine “misinformation” and replace it with “medically accurate information.”
This year Americans have watched government health officials making false statements in congressional hearings denying that vaccines like MMR cause brain inflammation and claiming that doctors can predict which children will be harmed. 64 65 And even though thousands of parents traveled to those hearings stacked with witnesses blaming “anti-vaccine misinformation” for disease outbreaks, not one individual was allowed to testify offering a different perspective. 6667 The FDA Commissioner even threatened state legislators that if they did not restrict or remove vaccine exemptions, the federal government would step in and “mandate certain rules about what is and isn’t permissible when it comes to allowing people to have vaccine exemptions.” 6869 70
denied
After thousands of Americans showed up at public hearings in multiple states to testify against proposed laws to remove vaccine exemptions, 71 72 73 by June only the state of Washington had eliminated the conscientious belief exemption for MMR vaccine, 74 and Maine had eliminated both the religious and conscientious belief exemption for all vaccines. 75
Then, on June 13, 2019, the New York legislature suddenly rammed a bill to repeal the religious exemption to vaccination through both the Assembly and Senate in one day with no public hearings. 76 77 78 This legislative coup completely cut the citizens of New York out of participating in the law making process. 79 80  Within hours, the Governor of New York signed the bill into law and issued a press release quoting one of the bill’s sponsors declaring, “I am incredibly proud that science has won with the passage of this bill. We should be taking medical advice from medical professionals, not strangers on the internet spreading pseudo-science misinformation.”  81
In the weeks leading up to the vote, major newspapers published editorials. 82 83 84 The Partnership for New York City, which represents more than 350 major city employers, including Pfizer, Google, Microsoft and other corporations, also sent a letter to legislators calling for an end to the religious vaccine exemption. 85  86
Many of the lobbyists argued that no major religion has a tenet opposing vaccination, even though vaccine products were not being mandated by governments until long after the world’s major religions were founded. 87 In addition, the U.S. constitution prohibits our government from requiring citizens holding sincere personal spiritual or religious beliefs to identify with an organized religion or be a member of a certain church in order to receive equal protection under the law.  88
The justification for violating the religious freedom of New York residents 89 was primarily based on more than 1,000 cases of measles reported in 28 states this year, with 800 cases identified in several New York City neighborhoods, although there have been no reported measles deaths or injuries. 90  About 75 percent of the New York measles cases have been confirmed in unvaccinated persons with the majority living in orthodox Jewish communities holding sincere religious beliefs opposing the use of vaccines. 91 92 About 97 percent of children attending kindergarten in New York have received two doses of MMR vaccine compared to more than 94 percent of school children nationally. 93
Government health officials and the media blame unvaccinated school children for measles outbreaks. However, on May 25 NVIC published a special report on the history of measles and MMR vaccine providing documented evidence that MMR vaccine failures and waning immunity in vaccinated adults are equally responsible for reported measles outbreaks in highly vaccinated populations like ours. 94
doctor
The illusion of durable MMR vaccine herd immunity is rapidly dissolving.  Measles is being transmitted by vaccinated persons, who are subclinically infected but are not being identified or reported because they show few or no symptoms, while unvaccinated persons fully expressing measles symptoms are being identified, reported and very well publicized. This information is not part of the public conversation when government officials and the media talk about measles outbreaks because it calls into question the accuracy of the narrative simplistically scapegoating unvaccinated children and their parents. 95
Since January, America has been operating under a perceived state of emergency. 96 97 98 That happened after the World Health Organization announced that “the reluctance or refusal to vaccinate” – termed “vaccine hesitancy” – is one of top 10 “threats” to global health. 99 100 101102 The word “threat” is defined as one “regarded as a possible source of harm or danger.” 103 It is often used during wartime to elicit fear and hatred of an enemy that a government considers to be a danger to national security.
In any war, real or perceived, rational thinking is the first casualty of fear, which makes it easier for people to agree to a loss of freedom in exchange for a promise of protection from harm.
Just like in 2015 when cases of measles were reported at Disneyland, 104 105 106 107 this year there have been calls for public identification, criminal prosecution and imprisonment of unvaccinated people and parents who don’t vaccinate their children.108 109 110 Anyone who defends the informed consent ethic and criticizes the use of coercion to force compliance with one-size-fits-all vaccine policies is called an “anti-vaxxer” and subjected to personal attacks on his or her intelligence, integrity, motives and patriotism in the name of protecting the public health.
blacklist
The litmus test question is: Are you or have you ever been anti-vaccine? If you hesitate, qualify your answer, express doubt or admit to being currently or previously associated with a person or organization labeled as “anti-vaccine,” it is over. You are publicly condemned as an “anti-vaxxer” and a danger to society for infecting others with your opinions, values and beliefs. You are blacklisted and turned into a horrible warning for any person like you who is even thinking about speaking up. Often people recant or throw their friends and colleagues under the bus when threatened with excommunication from society for being labeled “anti-vaccine.”
There was another dark era in American history during the mid-20th century, known as “The Blacklist” or “McCarthy” era, when government officials operated in a climate of fear under a perceived state of emergency that was used to justify taking extreme measures in the name of protecting national security. Beginning in 1947 through 1954, federal legislators suspected there were “communist sympathizers” in government agencies and working in the fields of journalism and entertainment.
Congress held a series of hearings in the U.S. House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) followed by U.S. Senate hearings chaired by Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-WI). 111 112113Americans suspected of being a threat to national security were summoned to publicly testify about their personal philosophical, religious and political beliefs and association with persons or organizations believed to be communist sympathizers, a term that became synonymous with being “anti-American.”
The litmus test question was: “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?” If the person answered “yes” or refused to answer, he or she risked being blacklisted as a political subversive who infected others with opinions, values and beliefs that posed a danger to national security. Hundreds of Americans, including authors, artists, filmmakers and high profile Hollywood celebrities, were persecuted for their beliefs, sent to prison, denied employment or left the country in self-exile in order to find work. Often people recanted or threw their friends and colleagues under the bus when threatened with excommunication from society for being labeled “anti-American.”
Broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow, 114 who helped unmask the smear tactics used by Senator Joseph McCarthy that ended government inquisitions of the “blacklist era,” observed that:
“The right of dissent, or, if you prefer, the right to be wrong, is surely fundamental to the existence of a democratic society. That’s the right that went first in every nation that stumbled down the trail toward totalitarianism.” 
On June 20, despite thousands of parents testifying against a bill that essentially eliminates the medical vaccine exemption in a state that has no personal belief exemption, 115 the California legislature Assembly Health Committee voted to give absolute power to state health officials to reject any exemption granted by a doctor that does not conform with federal vaccine policy. 116In other states, legislators are moving to pass laws allowing doctors to vaccinate minor children without the knowledge or consent of their parents. 117 118
medical record
Americans are being coerced and denied not only an education, but medical care, insurance and employment for refusing one or more government recommended vaccines. 119  120 121 If you or your child have already suffered vaccine reactions or struggle with chronic brain and immune system problems that doctors deny can be made worse by getting re-vaccinated, you know what it feels like to live in perpetual fear that you will be hunted down and forced to get vaccines that could cause further damage to health. 122
If your life has not been touched by a vaccine reaction, there is no guarantee it won’t happen tomorrow. 123  Government electronic medical records tracking systems are monitoring every vaccine you do and do not take 124 125 and many new vaccines are being developed by industry and government that will be mandated for children and adults alike. 126
Do you want to be forced to use every new vaccine Big Pharma produces 127 and public health officials mandate without your voluntary informed consent?  128 129 And what will be done to you if you refuse to comply? Will you be able to get a driver’s license or passport, shop in a store, go to a football game, enter a hospital emergency room, get on a bus or plane, or simply leave your home if you cannot show proof that you have complied with government vaccine policies? Will your unvaccinated children be taken from you? Will you be criminally prosecuted and imprisoned?
What has happened this year are signs that America may well be stumbling down the trail toward totalitarianism by allowing our inalienable rights to be taken away. But we, the people, have the power in our constitutional republic to secure our civil liberties if we refuse to live in fear and defend freedom of speech and conscience and the right to dissent, and if we elect lawmakers who cherish freedom as much as we do.
Unjust laws enacted today can be repealed tomorrow, but only if we wake up, stand up and never, ever give up. 
Be the one who never has to say you did not do today what you could have done to change tomorrow.
It’s your health, your family, your choice. And our mission continues: No forced vaccination. Not in America.

EX-CATHOLIC MIKE GENDRON’S NEW BOOK “CONTENDING FOR THE GOSPEL” NOW AVAILABLE

EX-CATHOLIC MIKE GENDRON’S NEW BOOK “CONTENDING FOR THE GOSPEL” NOW AVAILABLE
Contending for the Gospel Book Now Available


Mike’s new book, Contending for the Gospel, is an urgent call for all Christians to defend the exclusivity and purity of God’s Gospel against the many agents of compromise. More than ever, we must take a stand to protect the message of the Gospel because many are being “tossed to and fro by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes” (Ephesians 4:14). 


This 288 page book has eleven chapters devoted to the clarification, explanation, proclamation, and defense of the eternal Gospel of grace. Chapter headings include: The Foundation for the Gospel, The Message of the Gospel, The Person of the Gospel, The Exclusivity of the Gospel, The Promise of the Gospel, The Compromise of the Gospel, The Opposition to the Gospel, The Departure from the Gospel, The Catholic Church and The Gospel, The Urgency of the Gospel, The Proclamation of the Gospel, and The Response to the Gospel.

The greatest attack on the Christian faith today is on the exclusivity of the Gospel. Many pastors and evangelists are removing or avoiding the offense of the Gospel. They are making it more inclusive for the purpose of drawing a larger following, gaining more influence, and being loved by more people. This man-pleasing Gospel makes people feel comfortable in their sin but has no power to save them. Such a distortion of the Gospel has become popular because it exalts man and his importance and diminishes God and His significance. It also overemphasizes God’s love while ignoring His holiness, justice, and hatred of sin. It is the watered-down Gospel of the ecumenical movement that seeks to unite everyone who names the name of Christ. 

Tragically, those who embrace this diluted Gospel are woefully deceived and remain dead in their sins. Equally tragic is the willingness of born-again Christians to put up with “another Gospel”. Paul admonishes us to repent of such apathy with a sharp rebuke: “If someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different Gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough” (2 Corinthians 11:4). We can no longer put up with a different Gospel; we must contend earnestly for the one and only Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is much at stake if we do not heed Paul’s admonition. Those who have been deceived will not know it unless they are lovingly confronted with the truth. They must be reproved in order to become sound in the faith (Titus 1:13).

May we all be filled with compassion for false converts who have been deceived by false Gospels. They live in constant danger of perishing if they are not confronted in their unbelief. No matter how pious, religious, devout or moral they may be, if they have not been born of God (John 3:3), they will experience God’s sin-avenging wrath and judgment. How terrifying will it be for them to hear the sobering and horrifying words of the Lord Jesus, “I never knew you, depart from Me” (Mat. 7:23).

May God use this book, which is filled with His Word, to ignite a passion for the truth and to kindle a desire in every Christian to contend for the Gospel. We must guard the treasure that has been graciously entrusted to us for the glory of Christ and the sanctity of His church. Order a copy here.

JOE BIDEN’S SON RESPONDS TO TRUMP THREAT 
TO PROBE UKRAINE BUSINESS TIES

Former VP’s son apoplectic over potential DOJ investigation

BY JAMIE WHITE
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
Hunter Biden, son of 2020 Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden, couldn’t contain his anger during a Monday interview over President Trump’s warning the DOJ may investigate his Ukraine business dealings.
Biden, an admitted cocaine addict, told The New Yorker in a fluff interview that he heard of the potential probe as a helicopter was flying overhead.
“I said, ‘I hope they’re taking pictures of us right now. I hope it’s a live feed of the President so he can see just how much I care about the tweets,’” he said. “I don’t care. F--k you, Mr. President. Here I am, living my life.”
Biden also expressed his dismay that the Trump administration was targeting him, suggesting he was under scrutiny solely for being the former vice president’s son.
“I would never have been able to predict that Donald Trump would have picked me out as the tip of the spear against the one person they believe can beat them,” he said.
Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) reacted to reports of Biden’s shady business dealings in a May interview, citing Joe Biden threatening Ukraine prosecutors with withholding $1 billion in loan guarantees, if they didn’t drop inquiries into his son over his suspicious kickbacks from a Ukrainian energy company.
“My understanding, this was reported in the New York Times, Joe Biden was asking the prosecutor to lay off of the company that Hunter Biden was working for for $50,000 a month, kicked out of the military, that’s extraordinary,” Paul said on ABC.
“I think the American people will be shocked and dismayed to know that Joe Biden’s son was making $50,000 a month just a couple of months after he was dishonorably discharged from the military for drugs,” he continued.
“$50,000 a month, I think most Americans will be dismayed that the president’s son was doing this while Joe Biden was actually lobbying to have this company, you know, go free of prosecution.”
Around the same time, President Trump told Politico that he’d consider consulting legal options with Attorney General William Barr over Biden’s “very big situation.”
“Because he’s a Democrat it’s about 1/100 the size of the fact that if he were a Republican, it would be a lot bigger,” Trump had said.

HOW BIDEN BOOKED MILLIONS

Who needs to write a book when you’ve got access?

BY DANIEL GREENFIELD
SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/274137/how-biden-booked-millions-daniel-greenfieldrepublished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
In the final years of the Obama administration, Joe Biden’s net worth was estimated at -$947,987. The minus sign was the most important part of that figure. The negative numbers weren’t implausible. After Obama won, Biden disclosed that he was carrying as much as a staggering $465,000 in debt.
But despite being a million in the hole, after his administration was done, he moved into a 12,000 foot estate that looks like a poor man’s replica of the White House with 5 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a wet bar, 2 kitchens, a sauna, 8 fireplaces, parking for 20 cars and a master bedroom on an entire floor.
The estimated rent is $20,000 a month.
That’s in addition to buying a $2.7 million vacation home in Delaware and his original lakeside home.
Where did all that money come from? As with Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, part of the answer lies with some very lucrative book deals. The same year that Biden moved into his miniature White House, Macmillan offered Biden and his wife a multi-book contract worth unknown millions. That was quite a lot of money for a retired veep who hadn’t even announced that he was running for again.
Biden’s previous literary adventures hadn’t exactly set the publishing world on fire. On taking office, Random House had paid him a $9,563 advance to record an audio version of Promises to Keep. The campaign book sold some 49,000 copies and netted under $200 in royalties in 2009.
No, there are no missing zeroes there.
Promise Me, Dad, the first of the Macmillan haul, debuted in 2017. On Amazon, it sits at #39,101 in Books, far below Buttigieg's book at #1,387, Kamala Harris' at #12,556 or Elizabeth Warren's at #22,40.
(Though doing far better than Cory Booker's disastrous book, down in the basement at #205,437.)
Even Stacey Abrams is doing better than Biden at #14,018.
Biden’s book did debut at the top of the bestseller list. It may be performing badly on Amazon because people aren’t really buying the book to read it. They’re buying access to Joe Biden.
Joe had gotten better at selling books. Not because of what was inside them. But by selling himself.
When Marty Walsh, a good friend of Biden, won the election to run Boston, his 1,500 inaguration guests all got copies of Biden’s book. Mayor Walsh claimed that helping prop up Biden’s multi-million book contract so he could afford a 12,000 foot estate with 9 bathrooms was a way of spreading his message about “the importance of the middle class and bringing people together”.
The University of Utah hosted Biden as its keynote speaker. Instead of paying him, it bought 1,000 copies of his book to give out to students. Biden’s people pushed this story in the media as if it were a charitable act. The book purchase was funded by a grant from the O.C. Tanner Company.
O.C. Tanner spent $160,000 on lobbying in 2018.
Biden’s books hadn’t become more interesting a decade later. Promises to Keep had faltered because he had been a longshot candidate. Promise Me, Dad copies were moving, not so much because people were reading them, but because they were a vehicle for gaining access to the 2020 Dem nominee.
His book tour consisted of selling tickets to hear him discuss his book and get an autographed copy.
His American Promise tour included a copy of Promise Me with every ticket sold. At a D.C. bookstore, a VIP package of $448 got you a chance to meet Biden and a signed copy of the book. A VIP package in Austin, Texas, got you a signed copy and only went for $325.
Meanwhile, actually hosting Biden was a nightmare. The University of Buffalo paid Biden $200,000 to give a speech. CAA, one of Hollywood’s biggest talent agencies, which represents the likes of Robert Downey Jr, Sandra Bullock, and Johnny Depp, had the university sign a contract in which “the Artist” was to receive a “full-length mirror”, a meal of angel hair pomodoro, a fridge with 3 different kinds of sodas, and a ban on any “projectiles that can be thrown”. Excepting, apparently, copies of his book.
Because, booksellers would be selling copies of Promise Me, Dad on site.
Speakers using book giveaways as part of, or in place of, their honorarium, is nothing new. But Biden, like Hillary, appeared to be blurring the line between public speaking and monetizing a future candidacy.
Biden’s book sales promoted his candidacy, put millions in his pocket and allowed individuals, organizations and special interests to potentially trade access in exchange for buying his book. When a company with lobbying interests sponsors a 1,000 book buy, it’s indirectly providing a benefit to Biden. Would it be doing so if Biden hadn’t been a serious presidential prospect in 2020?
And would Macmillan have signed Biden to such a generous contract any other way?
Promise Me, Dad had sold 302,000 copies by the spring of 2019. The list price was $28 a book, but Walsh had only paid $12 a copy for his 1,500 copies. Bulk discounts probably applied to other sales.
Jill Biden’s follow-up, the second book in the multi-million contract series, Where the Light Enters: Building a Family, Discovering Myself, came out in May and sold some 7,000 copies.
It currently ranks at #1747 in memoirs.
Numbers like these are a long way from hits. Michelle Obama’s memoir, Becomingsold over 10 million copies. What Happened, Hillary Clinton’s conspiracy theory post-election response, debuted with 300,000 copies. Multi-million-dollar deals can be justified with sales figures like these.
That’s a lot better than Biden is doing.
Biden’s third and final book is, in theory, still ahead, but election campaign books tend to flop. Hillary’s Stronger Together tanked. Nobody remembers Obama’s, Change We Can Believe In. We can guess two things about Biden’s campaign book. It’ll have the word “promise” in it and no one will actually buy it.
And, several memoirs in, what does Biden even have to write about?
Joe Biden has been around for 76 years. We’ve heard all his stories. Including the ones he made up. Especially those. Two memoirs seem like more than enough for a hack who spent his career in politics.
The real story isn’t in the words that, likely some ghostwriter, put together for Biden. Considering his history of plagiarism, that’s for the best. If Joe wrote a book, it would have begun with, “Call me, Ishmael”, “It was a dark and stormy night” or “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”
Biden’s true memoir is not in what he says, but what he does and how he does it.
The way he sold his memoir tells us far more about him than the words between the covers. How he made millions and turned a million in the hole into a multi-million vacation home and a miniature White House tells Biden’s story more evocatively than all the anecdotes meant to appeal to the working class.
Joe Biden isn’t working class or middle class. He’s part of a political class that works the system.
The real story of Promise Me, Dad, is how he once again made millions working the system and has gone from more debt than most Americans can imagine to a luxurious lifestyle they can’t even dream of.

UK: MAN WHO WAS STABBED EIGHT TIMES WHILE CONFRONTING LONDON BRIDGE JIHADIS IS PUT ON TERROR WATCH LIST

Man Who Bravely Fought Off Islamic Terrorists is Put on an Terror Watchlist by UK Government
UK: MAN WHO WAS STABBED EIGHT TIMES WHILE CONFRONTING LONDON BRIDGE JIHADIS 
IS PUT ON TERROR WATCH LIST

He wasn’t put on the watch list for anything he did, but only because “he was contacted by far-right yobs.” The Daily Mail, the worst paper in the Western world, doesn’t deign to tell us who the “far-right yobs” were, so there is no way to tell if they were actual neo-Nazis or simply patriotic Britons hoping to stave off jihad violence and the spread of Sharia. The two are routinely lumped together in both the British and American establishment media. In any case, now Larner has to attend “deradicalization” classes and the police, who routinely turn a blind eye to jihad activity, are monitoring him. As Britain circles the drain.

“‘Lion of London Bridge’ who was stabbed eight times as he confronted terrorist attackers ‘is put on anti-terror watch list after far-right extremists contacted him,'” by Harry Howard, Mailonline, July 1, 2019:
The ‘Lion of London Bridge’ who was hailed a hero for fighting off knife-wielding jihadis during the terror attack said he is on an anti-terror watch list after being contacted by far-right anti-Islam supporters.
Roy Larner, 49, screamed, ‘f*** you, I’m Millwall,’ as he took on the knife murderers when they struck in June 2017 while he was enjoying a pint in the Black & Blue restaurant in Borough Market, in Southwark, south-east London.
But Mr Larner has since been placed on the Government’s Prevent programme over fears that he could become an extremist after he was contacted by far-right yobs.
He has had to attend de-radicalisation classes and police are monitoring him, the Sun reported.
Mr Larner said: ‘They treat me like a terrorist but I’m not political at all.
The 49-year-old required surgery after being slashed multiple times in the head and neck by Rachid Redouane and Yousseff Zaghba, who – along with third terrorist Khuram Butt – ended up killing eight and injuring 38 others.
He was released from hospital 12 days after the attack which left him with more than 80 stitches to his head, ear, arms and hands.
While in hospital, he was pictured propping himself up in bed with a ‘learn to run’ manual his friends had given him – which they said displayed ‘our south-east London sense of humour’.
Mr Larner said one of the attackers had shouted, ‘This is for Allah,’ and ‘Islam, Islam, Islam,’ when they struck….

MAN WHO BRAVELY FOUGHT OFF ISLAMIC TERRORISTS IS PUT ON A TERROR WATCHLIST BY UK GOVERNMENT

Over fears he might become a right-wing extremist

EXCERPTS:
49-year-old Roy Larner screamed “f*** you, I’m Millwall” as he defended himself against jihadists who ended up killing 8 people and injuring 38 others during the horrific attack in London two years ago.
The attack left Larner with more than 80 stitches to his head, ear, arms and hands after two of the terrorists slashed at his head and neck.
Following the attack, Larner revealed that the terrorists had shouted, “This is for Allah” and “Islam, Islam, Islam” during the rampage.

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS CHOOSE GAY-AFFIRMING PASTOR AS 2020 CONFERENCE PRESIDENT

In the wake of widespread criticism of this abominable, gay-affirming event (the church then asked homosexuals to come forward to be anointed and have hands laid upon them), David Uth prayed that God would strike discerning Christians dead if they criticized him.
SOUTHERN BAPTISTS CHOOSE GAY-AFFIRMING PASTOR AS 2020 CONFERENCE PRESIDENT
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
The Southern Baptist Convention chose David Uth, pastor of First Baptist Church in Orlando, as the president of the Pastor’s Conference for the next year’s annual meeting. Many should be reminded about who Uth is, and ask the question whether or not SBC leadership will be making strides for LGBTQ inclusion along with the rest of their latest compromises.
David Uth hosted a gay-affirming LGBTQ event in the wake of the Orlando gay night club shooting at his church, FBC Orlando. In case you have forgotten, #LoveOrlando was a gay-straight hug fest that happened at the church in the shooting’s aftermath. Taking the stage at that event was pastor Larry G. Mills, who said the following:
We’re not peculiar because of race or gender or creed. But in Orlando we are peculiar because of E. Pluribus Unum. Out of many come one. We are peculiar because we have leadership that knows how to fight….We are peculiar because we know how to let theological differences and disputes and factions not get in the way of love and Christ. We are peculiar…because we believe in the Word, and what others would have against us, what others would show as a stumbling stone, we’ve elevated to be the head of the corner, and right now, no matter what people [inaudible] might think, that LGBTQ area is the head cornerstone, and we are here to lift up and magnify, and allow them to know, that regardless of people’s opinion, regardless of where we are, love triumphs over evil.
There was no correction whatsoever (either during or after the event) of this pastor claiming that the LGBTQ “community” was the chief cornerstone. You can watch the video below.
In the wake of widespread criticism of this abominable, gay-affirming event (the church then asked homosexuals to come forward to be anointed and have hands laid upon them), David Uth prayed that God would strike discerning Christians dead if they criticized him.
You can watch Uth’s death wish upon discerners here:
Justin Peters did a three-part series on this tragedy in Orlando, which you can find here. Brannon Howse and others also made much over the event, which was absolutely inexcusable.
Uth is the same pastor who let a Seventh Day Adventist cult member preach at his church. He also complained when Ben Carson was disinvited from the 2015 Pastor’s Conference, even though Carson is an Adventist.
Now, Uth is running the conference. We’ll see what happens, but it does not bode well for the SBC. They seem to have no doctrinal standards whatsoever these days.
[Publisher’s Note: If someone wants to take exception with the claim, “gay-affirming,” we’ll ask you what’s more affirming that laying on of hands at the front of the church…1 Timothy 5:22]

PENNSYLVANIA: U.S. SENATOR BOB CASEY & STATE REPS. ORGANIZE EVENTS ON “ISLAMOPHOBIA” WITH HAMAS LINKED “CAIR”

PENNSYLVANIA: U.S. SENATOR BOB CASEY & 
STATE REPS. ORGANIZE EVENTS ON “ISLAMOPHOBIA” WITH HAMAS LINKED “CAIR” 
BY ROBERT SPENCER
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:

Would Casey and the state representatives co-organized events with a Nazi group? What’s the difference? CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. 
CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s co-founder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) CAIR chapters frequently distribute pamphlets telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. CAIR’s Hussam Ayloush in 2017 called for the overthrow of the U.S. government. CAIR’s national outreach manager is an open supporter of Hamas.

Casey is a Democrat, but there are plenty of Republican Useful Idiots as well. That any American politician of any political camp would appear at any function of this unsavory group speaks to the confusion of our age, and of how casual U.S. officials have become in their acceptance of hatred for the country they are supposed to be serving.
“Pennsylvania Officials Join Bigoted CAIR for ‘Islamophobia’ Events,” by Steven Emerson, IPT News, June 27, 2019:
Last week, the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) identified charitable organizations that recently showcased radical Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) activists with a history of bigoted and anti-Semitic views. Philanthropic organizations and foundations should be held accountable for failing to do their due diligence and looking into the backgrounds of the members they promote publicly. U.S. politicians, however, must be held to an even higher standard while representing their constituencies.
Unfortunately, state and local officials participated in several events co-hosted by CAIR’s Philadelphia chapter (CAIR-PA) earlier this month.
On June 6, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., organized a town hall meeting at Dickinson College and invited CAIR-PA Advisory Board member Aaysha Noor to moderate, according to a CAIR-PA update. Another town hall, taking place June 13 in Devon, Pa., “was co-sponsored by the offices of [state] Rep. Joe Webster and Rep. Melissa Shusterman.” On June 19, CAIR-PA co-hosted a second town hall meeting in Carlisle, Pa. including state representatives Movita Johnson-Harrell and Patty Kim. Both meetings focused on “Islamophobia” and condemning anti-Muslim bigotry.
Either these politicians support CAIR’s radical agenda, or their staff failed to do their homework on the organization. Like other U.S.-based Islamists, CAIR-PA’s leaders have a long history of making bigoted allegations.
In a 2010 op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Moein Khawaja, then executive director of CAIR-Philadelphia, leveled dual allegiance accusations at a pro-Israel lobby group. Khawaja argued that “CAIR is concerned about America, not Palestine, Pakistan, or any other foreign land – unlike the Emergency Committee for Israel and its supporters, who place Israel first and America a distant second.”
This view is similar to recent comments by U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who leveled dual loyalty allegations against American supporters of Israel. Accusing Jews of holding more allegiance to the Jewish state than to their home nation is a form of anti-Semitism.
In addition, Khawaja’s claim about CAIR’s focus is false. CAIR and its officials routinely insert the organization into the debate over Israel and Palestine. After angrily rejecting a question about Hamas in 2013 as a bigoted effort to drag CAIR “into the Middle East affairs,” CAIR-Los Angeles leader Hussam Ayloush attacked Mayor Eric Garcetti for endorsing the U.S. decision to move its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The move was offensive “not only to the 12 million Palestinian Christians and Muslims, but also to the 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide,” Ayloush said last month.
CAIR-PA’s current executive director, Jacob Bender, has since issued some outlandish statements of his own in recent years. For over a year, Israeli forces have been containing violent demonstrations on the Israel-Gaza border, which continue to this day. The vast majority of the Palestinian casualties in these confrontations are either formal members or affiliates of terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. In fact, Hamas is in complete control of the tempo fueling these violent protests. Yet Bender, like other Hamas apologists, frames the ongoing border conflict as an Israeli “massacre.”
“Here in the US, however, Israel’s massacre is met with either silence, or worse, open support for Israel in driving back what they deem to be barbaric Arab hordes bent upon visiting another Holocaust upon the innocent Jews and their ‘Jewish State.’ Shockingly, many Israelis and their supporters in the US are almost euphoric at the number of Arab dead,” Bender wrote in May 2018.
Without any evidence, Bender claims that many pro-Israel supporters are elated when presented with Palestinian deaths. This is a bigoted assumption that blanketly paints pro-Israel Americans as evil. Bender has not rescinded his initial statement after Palestinian terrorist leaders acknowledged that most of the casualties were their operatives.
It’s tough to hear how Bender “wanted to play a role as a bridge builder” when he has a history of demonizing the Jewish state and its supporters.
In a 2014 letter, Bender explained that he works for CAIR “because this is a courageous organization that repeatedly denounces injustice and violence around the world, no matter the victim, no matter the perpetrator. Whether it is ISIS beheading American journalists in Iraq, or Israeli troops killing hundreds of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, or the Taliban murdering over 150 school children in Pakistan.”
In that statement alone, Bender reveals two of CAIR’s most prominent and disturbing worldviews. First, that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is morally equivalent to jihadist groups who indiscriminately target civilians using the most brutal methods. CAIR officials Hussam Ayloush and Zahra Billoo have repeatedly compared Americans who move to Israel and join the IDF to ISIS terrorists. Second, Bender’s argument shows that CAIR and its officials are incapable of denouncing Hamas or Hizballah as militant organizations that engage in terrorism solely because those groups’ primary targets are Israelis and Jews.
This type of sentiment should be condemned, not rewarded with ongoing political engagement from Pennsylvania officials…

FLORIDA “PRIDE PROM” FOR TEENAGERS, WHERE YOUTH COULD DRESS IN DRAG, CANCELED

FLORIDA “PRIDE PROM” FOR TEENAGERS, 
WHERE YOUTH COULD DRESS IN DRAG, CANCELED
BY HEATHER CLARK
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A “Storybook Pride Prom” for teenagers that had been scheduled for Friday night, where youth were invited to dress as their favorite book characters — including in drag, was canceled due to stated “emotional and physical safety” concerns and a lack of “adequate security.” The event had generated an impassioned response from both sides, with tickets selling out on one hand but also being opposed by others as being inappropriate for children.
“You’re invited to create your own ‘happily ever after’ at The Storybook Pride Prom!” the event page on the Jacksonville Public Library website read. “Come dressed inspired by your favorite book character — casual, formal, or in drag — whatever makes you feel great. Be you! Bring a date, come solo or with friends, and enjoy music, dancing, refreshments, a selfie station, and more!”
The prom, which was to be held at the Willowbranch Library, was geared toward 14 to 18-year-olds.
Drag queen BeBe Deluxe (Beatrice Palmer) was to have also appeared at the event, but without performing.
However, organizations such as Biblical Concepts Ministries raised concerns over the activity and called upon others to contact the library, mayor and city council to make their views known.
“We need to look into an ordinance that would bar programs inappropriate for children in our public facilities and taxpayer-funded facilities,” founder Raymond Johnson told local television station WJXT-TV.
He also outlined in an email to subscribers that he had spoken to three conservative members of city council, who agreed that the event was not appropriate.
On Monday, following the receipt of hundreds of phone calls on both sides of the issue, the Jacksonville Public Library system decided to cancel the event. Library system spokesman Chris Boivin said that the event was canceled because “adequate security” couldn’t be provided as “there is so much uncertainty based on so many comments that we received.”
“There were a lot for, but there [also] were an awful lot of people against, having this event,” he told WJXT-TV. “There were some things that could be construed as threats.”
“I made the call with the information I had at the time and that information was not anything that was an imminent threat,” Directory Tim Rogers also stated. “It was about the emotional and physical safety of the kids that they were inviting to this teen program, and that’s all it was.”
See public statements from the library system here and here.
“We are disappointed that we cannot move forward with the event as planned and are now discussing alternatives in keeping with our original spirit and intent,” it said. “We stand by our decision to create the event, just as we stand by our decision to cancel it when we felt the teens’ safety could not be guaranteed.”
However, some are now upset that the event has been canceled and are angry both at library officials and Johnson. According to reports, an estimated 75 people held a demonstration outside the library during when the event was to have taken place. Many held rainbow flags or signs.
Some have called for Rogers to resign. Others have written opposing messages on Johnson’s Facebook page.
“Teaching kids to worship an imaginary friend who will grant all of their wishes if they give away 10% of their money is a better example of child abuse in my opinion,” one commenter wrote.
“As far as organized religion, you all are a bunch of hypocrites. … [W]e hear about molestation from clergy of the Catholic and Baptist churches. You need to look [at] judging yourselves before you judge others!” another stated.
“I hope the community organizes a protest against your church,” a third remarked.
“You all should die for what you did to those LGBT youths,” one lashed out.
As previously reported, the Bible teaches that all men are in the same predicament: All are born with the Adamic sin nature, having various inherent inclinations that are contrary to the law of God and unable to break free from the power of sin in and of themselves.
It was the love of God that sent Christ to take the punishment for guilty man, a doctrine called propitiation.
“For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him,” 2 Corinthians 5:21 states.
Isaiah 53:5-6 says, “He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way, and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
1 John 4:10 reads, “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”
The gospel message, or good news, is that Christ came to reconcile sinners at enmity with God, and that by the work of regeneration of the Holy Spirit, men can be born anew and set free from the power of sin. The same message calls upon men to repent and trust in Christ to save.
The late British preacher Charles Spurgeon once said, “If Christ has died for me, ungodly as I am, without strength as I am, then I cannot live in sin any longer. I must arouse myself to love and serve Him who has redeemed me. I cannot trifle with the evil that killed my best Friend. I must be holy for His sake. How can I live in sin when He has died to save me from it?”
