Tony Bobulinski SHREDS Raskin and Goldman in Hearing on Hunter Biden Family Business

In a recent hearing, Tony Bobulinski took aim at Jamie Raskin and Dan Goldman, accusing them of perpetuating lies across various media platforms. The hearing, convened by the House Oversight Committee amidst a Republican-led investigation, delved into allegations surrounding the business dealings of Joe and Hunter Biden. Testimony was provided by former associates of Hunter Biden, including Lev Parnas, once linked to Rudy Giuliani. Tony Bobulinski's testimony focused on purported connections between the Bidens and business ventures in China and Russia, suggesting their involvement in influence peddling. He claimed firsthand encounters with the Bidens in 2017, portraying them as actively engaged participants in the alleged dealings.

Given the Biden regime’s increasingly obvious and ongoing betrayal of Israel, this is hardly a surprise.

“Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff publicly raises money for relief group allegedly tied to Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel,” by Jon Levine, New York Post, March 16, 2024:

The stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris is publicly raising cash for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency — even as the United States has cut funding to the group over its members’ alleged participation in the Oct. 7 terrorist attack in Israel.

Ella Emhoff — whose father is second gentleman Doug Emhoff — posted a link to UNRWA’s English-language fundraising page on her personal Instagram, and only removed it after a Post inquiry to the White House.

“We urge Ms. Emhoff to go on the website of UN Watch and read our reports showing how UNRWA teachers and school principals systematically promote and encourage jihadi terrorism and the slaughter of Jews,” said Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of the nonprofit United Nations watchdog.

Emhoff — whose father is second gentleman Doug Emhoff — is currently posting a link to UNRWA’s English-language fundraising page on her personal Instagram.

“I am sure that if Ms. Emhoff understood how UNRWA promotes hatred and murder, she would stop raising money for them, and she would apologize to victims such as Ayelet Samerano, whose 21-year-old son Yonatan was kidnapped on October 7th by an UNRWA social worker.”

UNRWA, the largest employer in Gaza, has long faced international criticism for its close ties to Hamas, which has ruled the enclave since 2006.

President Trump cut U.S. aid to the organization in 2018 — a decision President Biden initially reversed when he took office.

Under Biden’s leadership, at least $730 million found its way to UNRWA’s coffers…

Charges against the Gold Star father, who was arrested after harassing President Joe Biden during his State of the Union address, have been dropped. 

“A Gold Star Family is the immediate family member(s) of a fallen service member who died while serving in a time of conflict,” according to hopeforthewarriors.org.

Attorney General Brian Schwalb (D-D.C.) withdrew charges against the Gold Star father, who was detained after heckling President Biden during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, Republican lawmakers confirmed.

Representative Brian Mast (R-Fla.) told Fox News on Tuesday night that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) assisted in getting the charges against Steven Nikoui, 51, dropped for protesting during Biden’s speech. He was protesting in response to an earlier pleading from Representative Darrell Issa (R-Calif.).

“Though he interrupted the event, what Mr. Nikoui voiced out loud was a cry for the acknowledgment of the loss endured by the families of the 13 who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country,” Issa wrote in a letter to Capitol Police chief Thomas Manger on Tuesday.

Nikoui was taken into custody by U.S. Capitol Police after he yelled “Abby Gate!” and “Second Battalion, First Marines!” during Biden’s speech.

At a Capitol Hill hearing on the withdrawal from Afghanistan on Tuesday, he informed reporters that he remained charged despite calls from Mast, Issa, and Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) to have the case dismissed.

On August 26th, 2021, an ISIS suicide bomber outside Hamid Karzai International Airport killed 13 U.S. service members, including Nikoui’s son, Marine Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui.

According to Fox News, the District of Columbia Attorney General’s office defended its decision not to prosecute Nikoui by citing instances of previous protesters who were not charged.

Although Nikoui claims he had no intention of interrupting Biden, he grew irritated when the president only brought up the death of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, rather than his son or the other twelve U.S. service members who perished in the Abbey Gate explosion. 

“I’ve waited three years, I paid $3,000, and I’ve traveled 3,000 miles to finally hear my son’s name in the State of the Union,” he told DailyMail.com. “That trip to the State of the Union—wwhat a kick in my ass.”

Nikoui had been charged with “crowding, obstructing, [and] incommoding Congress,” which is a misdemeanor that typically results in release after paying a $50 fine.

Censorship & Surveillance Increasing in America with Mel K

Supreme Court Should Reject Clandestine Government Censorship of Online Speech

When federal officials persistently pressured social media platforms to delete or downgrade posts those officials did not like, a government lawyer told the Supreme Court on Monday, they were merely offering “information” and “advice” to their “partners” in fighting “misinformation.”

If the justices accept that characterization, they will be blessing clandestine government censorship of online speech.

The case, Murthy v. Missouri, pits two states and five social media users against federal officials who strongly, repeatedly and angrily demanded that Facebook et al. crack down on speeches the government viewed as dangerous to public health, democracy, or national security. Some of this “exhortation,” as U.S. Deputy Solicitor General Brian Fletcher described it, happened in public, as when President Joe Biden accused the platforms of “killing people” by allowing users to say things he believed would discourage Americans from being vaccinated against COVID-19.

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, who echoed that charge in more polite terms, urged a “whole-of-society” effort to combat the “urgent threat to public health” posed by “health misinformation,” which he said might include “legal and regulatory measures.” Other federal officials said holding social media platforms “accountable” could entail antitrust action, new regulations, or expansion of their civil liability for user-posted content.

Those public threats were coupled with private communications that came to light only thanks to discovery in this case.

As Louisiana Solicitor General J. Benjamin Aguinaga noted on Monday, officials such as Deputy Assistant to the President Rob Flaherty “badger[ed] the platforms 24/7,” demanding that they broaden their content restrictions and enforce them more aggressively.

Those emails alluded to presidential displeasure and warned that White House officials were “considering our options on what to do” if the platforms failed to fall in line. The platforms responded by changing their policies and practices.

Facebook executive Nick Clegg was eager to appease the president.

In emails to Murthy, he noted that Facebook had “adjust[ed] policies on what we’re removing”; had deleted pages, groups, and accounts that offended the White House; and would “shortly be expanding our COVID policies to further reduce the spread of potentially harmful content.”

Facebook took those steps, Clegg said in another internal email that Aguinaga quoted, “because we were under pressure by the administration.” Clegg expressed regret about caving to that pressure, saying, “We shouldn’t have done it.”

According to Fletcher, none of this implicated the First Amendment, because “no threats happened.” He meant that federal officials never explicitly threatened platforms with “adverse government action” while urging suppression of constitutionally protected speech.

That position is hard to reconcile with the Supreme Court’s 1963 decision in Bantam Books v. Sullivan. In that case, the Court held that Rhode Island’s Commission to Encourage Morality in Youth had violated the First Amendment by pressuring book distributors to drop titles it deemed objectionable.

Notably, the commission itself had no enforcement authority, and at least some of the books it flagged did not meet the Supreme Court’s test for obscenity, meaning the distributors were not violating any law by selling them. The Court nevertheless concluded that the commission’s communications, which ostensibly sought voluntary “cooperation” but were “phrased virtually as orders,” were unconstitutional because they aimed to suppress disfavored speech and had that predictable result.

The Biden administration’s social media meddling bears a strong resemblance to the situation. But Fletcher argued that federal officials were simply using “the bully pulpit” to persuade platforms that they had a “responsibility” to curtail dangerous speech.

“Pressuring platforms in back rooms shielded from public view is not using the bully pulpit at all,” Aguinaga noted. “That’s just being a bully.”

Free Press, an inaptly named organization that aims to promote “positive social change, racial justice and meaningful engagement in public life,” warns that a ruling against the government “could allow social-media platforms to leave up misinformation.” In other words, a ruling for the government would empower it to define “misinformation” and require its removal — something the First Amendment plainly forbids.

Former President Donald Trump was handed a major legal victory in the Georgia election fraud case against him.

On Wednesday, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee granted Trump the right to appeal his ruling that allowed District Attorney Fani Willis (D-Ga.) to stay on the case. 

This comes after Trump and seven other co-defendants have sought to boot Willis off the case. Trump did not have an automatic right to appeal before the start of the trial. 

The defendants must now wait to hear whether the appeals court will agree to hear the case, effectively delaying the next trial from being scheduled.

One of the 45th president’s lawyers, Steve Sadow, called McAfee’s Wednesday decision “highly significant,” adding that he is hopeful their appeal will win.

“The defense is optimistic that appellate review will lead to the case being dismissed and the DA being disqualified,” he added.

“The Court intends to continue addressing the many other unrelated pending pretrial motions, regardless of whether the petition is granted within 45 days of filing, and even if any subsequent appeal is expedited by the appellate court,” McAfee wrote in his ruling.

Meanwhile, the 45th president and his co-defendants are hoping to take Willis and the rest of her team off the case due to Willis’s past-romantic relationship with prosecutor Nathan Wade, who has since resigned from the case after the judge allowed her to stay on as long as he stepped down.

Additionally, Trump and the rest of his co-defendants are hoping to get the entire case thrown out and the charges tossed entirely. Trump’s team has said that the romance between Wade and Willis was a clear conflict of interest, which Willis has adamantly denied.

Michigan: Imam says ‘Don’t worry, Jewish man. One day will come, and we will slaughter you like a sheep.’

“Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger as saying: ‘The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.’” (Sahih Muslim 2922)

“Michigan Friday Sermon By Imam Abdou Zindani: One Day The Muslims Will Slaughter The Jews Like Sheep; Oh Allah, Make Us Soldiers for You, Make Us Die The Way You Want Us To Die,” MEMRI, January 5, 2024:

In a January 5, 2024 Friday sermon at the Islamic Center of Warren, Michigan, which was streamed live on the Mosque’s YouTube channel, Imam Abdou Alwaly Zindani invoked the hadith about the Muslims killing the Jews at the End of Times. He said that the Muslims will slaughter the Jews like sheep and that the stones and trees will “work undercover” for the Muslims, telling them where the Jews are hiding. Zindani continued to supplicate: “Oh Allah, make us soldiers for You, […] make us die the way you want us to die.”

Imam Abdou Zindani: “One Jewish man in New York was talking to a Palestinian businessman. First, the [Palestinian] said: ‘Don’t worry, Jewish man." One day will come, and we will slaughter you like a sheep and the stone and the tree will work undercover with us. They will tell us: ‘Hey Muslim, come. Somebody is hiding here, get up and kill him.

[…]

“Oh Allah, make us soldiers for You." Every-way you want us to be – with the tank, with the eye, with the money, with the hand, make us soldiers for Islam. Make us die the way you want us to die.”

Netanyahu after talk with Biden: ‘We are determined to complete the elimination of Hamas’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Tuesday, 19 March 2024), made the following remarks at the start of his meeting with the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee [translated from Hebrew]:

“We are in a dual campaign – a military campaign, and a diplomatic campaign. Of course, they are inter-connected, the diplomatic fight gives us the time and the resources to reach the full results of the war.

We have been fighting for over five months, this is a record in the history of Israel’s wars, except for the War of Independence. We are – of course – under growing international pressure, which we are rejecting in order to achieve the goals of the war. The goals of the war are, to be succinct: the destruction or elimination of Hamas’s military and governing capabilities, the release of all of our hostages and ensuring that Gaza never again constitutes a threat to Israel.

In order to do this, we need to complete the military elimination of Hamas. There is no alternative to this. We cannot go around it; neither can we say . We will destroy 80% of Hamas and leave 20%’, because from that 20%, they will reorganize and take over the Strip again and – of course – constitute a new threat to Israel. And of course, this will be a victory for the greater axis that threatens us – the Iranian axis.

Therefore, we are determined to complete the elimination of Hamas. This requires the elimination of the remaining battalions in Rafah and – of course – the 1.5 battalions in the camps in the center. We are determined to do this. We have a debate that I will put on the table, and we all know it. US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan also said this yesterday. We have a debate with the Americans over the need to enter Rafah, not over the need to eliminate Hamas, but the need to enter Rafah. We see no way to eliminate Hamas militarily without destroying these remaining battalions. We are determined to do this.

Out of respect for the President, we agreed on a way in which they can present us with their ideas, especially on the humanitarian side; of course, we fully share this desire to facilitate an orderly exit of the population and the providing of humanitarian aid to the civilian population. We have been doing this since the beginning of the war.

However, I made it as clear as possible to the President that we are determined to complete the elimination of these battalions in Rafah, and there is no way to do this without a ground incursion.”

A new docuseries called Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV has shed light on allegations regarding Nickelodeon television executives and producers on set, including “abuse, sexism, racism, and inappropriate dynamics with its underage stars and crew.” 

The docuseries debuted Sunday on the network Investigation Discovery and concluded on Monday.

“Investigation Discovery is an American multinational pay television network dedicated to true crime documentaries owned by Warner Bros. Discovery,” according to its website.

One plot of the series, mentions that a starring actor on the television show Drake & Josh, Drake Bell, came forward for the first time and admitted that he was sexually abused as a child actor by acting and dialogue coach Brian Peck, who was found guilty in 2004 of performing a lewd act on a minor and for verbally abusing a person under the age of 16, which is illegal in California.

“I was sleeping on the couch where I usually sleep, and I woke up to him… I opened my eyes, and I woke up, and he was… he was sexually assaulting me,” Bell says in the docuseries. “And I froze, was in complete shock, and had no idea what to do or how to react.”

Bell also maintained that the abuse happened a number of times and that he was intimidated into not speaking out.

“And it just got worse, and worse, and worse, and worse, and I was just trapped,” Bell explains. “I had no way out. The abuse was extensive, and it got pretty brutal.”

According to Bell, producer Dan Schneider had not been aware that Bell was Peck’s victim until Bell confided in him. Schneider offered to support him in any way he could, Bell claims in the documentary.

In front of another child star, Peck also boasted about owning a signed self-portrait painting of notorious homosexual serial killer John Wayne Gacy, as revealed in the documentary series.

Kyle Sullivan, a former cast member of the television show All That, who was only 14-years-old at the time, also recounts seeing the paintings inside Peck’s house, including one that featured the serial killer clown (Gacy) holding balloons and another that featured a shrine to Planet of the Apes.

Sullivan claims that the dialogue coach became visibly excited when he questioned him about the painting.

“Brian flipped the thing around, and on the back it said, ‘To Brian, I hope you enjoy the painting." Best wishes, your friend, [signed] John Wayne Gacy,’” Sullivan recalls this in the documentary.

In addition, the same former child star claims that Gacy sent Peck a number of letters that he had received from the notorious serial killer himself. During the 1970s, Gacy sexually assaulted and killed thirty-three boys, ages 14-21.

“Brian actually developed a pen pal relationship with John,” Sullivan says. “He kept this pile of letters and photos from John Wayne Gacy on his nightstand next to his bed.”

Additionally, in the docuseries, female writers accused Schneider, who Bell had confided in, of allegedly taking advantage of female writers on The Amanda Show, forcing them to massage him in front of other writers and crew members. 

The docuseries stars former Nickelodeon employees Christy Stratton and Jenny Kilgen, who were hired as writers for The Amanda Show in 1999. The docuseries reveals that they were the only female writers on the show and that their “single salary was divided between the two of them.”

Kilgen asserts that Schneider “didn’t think women were funny,” constantly displayed explicit images from his computer, and coercing people into engaging in inappropriate, awkward public acts as jokes, such as asking Stratton to tell a story about how she was “sodomized.”

“Working for Dan was like being in an abusive relationship,” Stratton claims in the documentary.

Kilgen also discusses the origins of the name “Penelope Taynt,” one of the sketch character’s names in the show, expressing that Schneider was solely motivated by the word “taint,” a term for the perineum. The perverse producer thought that the name would be funny since it was a children’s show and he had assumed that minors would not catch on to the inappropriate nature of the name.

“Dan had said to us in the writers room, ‘Don’t tell what this word really means," he wanted us to keep that a secret,” Kilgen alleges.

The documentary claims that Kilgen and her attorney complained to the production company about harassment, a hostile work environment, and gender discrimination. Kilgen says that even though an internal investigation was carried out and a settlement was reached, her career still suffered as a result.

In a statement to People Magazine, a spokesperson for Schneider said, “Nothing has been alleged about Dan other than him being a tough boss who got into disagreements with other adult executives at Nickelodeon, and when Dan departed Nickelodeon, a full investigation was done, and again, that’s all that they found.”

All four episodes of Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV are out now on ID and streaming on Max (formerly HBO Max).
