’60 Minutes:’ More Than 300 Ads by Trump Campaign Taken Down by Google and YouTube
More than 300 of President Donald Trump’s political ads have taken down by Google and its video platform YouTube, mostly over the summer, according to a report by 60 minutes.
The CBS reporters were unable to find specific reasons for the mass takedowns of Trump ads, a common problem with social media companies, which are often reluctant to explain precisely why a ban or other act of censorship has happened. “We found very little transparency in the transparency report,” concluded 60 Minutes.
CBS reporters investigated the removal of pro-Trump ads after YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki highlighted the company’s decision to ban some of the President’s ads during an interview.
Via CBS News:
60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl asked Wojcicki, “Have you taken down any of President Trump’s ads at all?” YouTube’s CEO responded, “There are ads of President Trump that were not approved to run on Google or YouTube.” When pressed for an example, Wojcicki added, “Well, they’re available in our transparency report.”
In response to concerns raised after the 2016 election cycle, Google and YouTube, like Facebook, keep a searchable archive of political ads that have run on the site.
60 Minutes reviewed the archive to learn more about President Trump’s problematic political ads. We found that over 300 video ads were taken down by...
ILLEGAL ALIEN WHO SEXUALLY ASSAULTED GIRL, ATTACKED WOMAN IN SAME DAY, FREED ON BOND
Pedro Zapata Delgado, 28, of Will Lane, has been charged with one felony count of indecent liberties with a child and one misdemeanor count of sexual battery.
Warrants for his arrest allege that Delgado committed a lewd and lascivious act upon the body of a child under the age of 16-years-old on Oct. 13. That same day he allegedly groped a woman by putting his hand under her clothes against her will.
The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office arrested Delgado on Nov. 21. He was placed in the Richmond County Jail under a $25,000 secure bond. He posted the bond on Nov. 26 and was released. Delgado is scheduled to...
Svetlana Lokhova: Epic takedown of deep state media’s attempt to claim ‘FBI did not spy on Trump campaign’ (with evidence!)
(TNS) Late last month, The New York Times and Washington Post both ran stories claiming that the upcoming report from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz will claim that the FBI’s probe into the 2016 Trump campaign, a.k.a. “Spygate,” was legitimate and did not involve the placing of spies inside the campaign.
Based on reporting and evidence that has been presented thus far, both of those claims are nonsensical and false.
The stories sound a lot like the deep state is attempting to soft-pedal the IG’s actual findings and get a narrative placed ahead of the game in order to diffuse the report’s findings.
But according to Spygate researcher Svetlana Lokhova, that’s not going to work.
In a lengthy Twitter thread, she presents a boatload of evidence proving not only that Obama’s FBI and Justice Department spied on the Trump campaign, there was year-long plot to take down the president’s first national security advisor, Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn who, recall, was fired by Obama for essentially bucking the system (of corruption).
She has more than evidence. She also says she has ‘receipts.’
But remember, there were no attempts to place “spies” in...

The “FBI did not spy on the campaign” fix won’t work. I have the evidence. Halper was paid to spy and manufacture evidence against @GenFlynn from late 2015, from the moment Gen Flynn met Trump. @ChuckGrassley already identified the payments to Halper as “partisan political”. /1

Halper gets first Spygate contract from DoD in Sept 2015, draws expenses in Dec 2015, incl. trip to London. He is claiming he’s going to speak with “former Russian intelligence officers”, likely to manufacture lies about Flynn who previously cooperated with Ru intel under Obama/2

In Dec 2015, Halper gets Pentagon to pay for his trip from US to England. Within weeks, Halper attempts to arrange a dinner with me in England (I don’t attend). Halper arranges for other English academics to spy on me, tells them I am a Russian spy, having affair with Gen Flynn/3

At the same time as being paid for spying and manufacturing “intelligence” on top Trump campaign advisor @GenFlynn, Halper was paid to entrap Trump campaign advisors Page and Papadopoulos. Good luck to the FBI proving Halper did not spy on the Trump campaign! /5
“FBI source” using “cover to reach to out to Trump associates” is not spying on the Trump campaign! /6

REPORT: Iran On The Brink
Then came President Trump. Real sanctions returned and so too did a push to make Iran back off from its many human rights abuses. The result? Freedom in Iran is, for the first time in decades, truly on the march as the Iranian mullahs scramble to hold on to power.
Via The American Thinker:
Uprisings in Iran have become routine occurrences, albeit without much success. Why? Because Iran is ruled by a totalitarian Islamic ideology like Nazism and communism. In Iran, there is no sovereignty of the people. Instead, there is a perception of the Ummah in Shia theology “rule of Mahdi”, guardianship over the people. In other words, Iran belongs to “Imam Zaman” (the Hidden Imam) and in his absence, a supreme leader is in charge. In this case, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Any revolt against the State is considered a direct attack against the upcoming “Lord of the Age.”
Hence, at the slightest signs of protests, the regime unleashes its wild dogs (soldiers of Mahdi) on a killing spree. Iranians partook in many protests across the country amidst a failing economic situation, systematic government corruption, and widespread frustration over the lack of...
‘They’ve Awoken a Giant’: 20+ Virginia Counties Become 2A Sanctuaries Overnight
Virginia gun owners have gathered by the hundreds at Board of Supervisors meetings in counties across the state to send a message to the newly elected Democratic legislature in Richmond.
As of this writing, 23 counties and towns have declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries since Michael Bloomberg flipped the state legislature from red to blue earlier this month. Second Amendment sanctuaries exist in many states across the country, but no state has seen so many in such a short span of time.
“It’s sending a message to Richmond saying we don’t want any more gun control out here,” Philip Van Cleave told GunsAmerica. Van Cleave is the President of the gun-rights group Virginia Citizens Defense League, which has been fighting for Second Amendment rights in Virginia since 1994, when they helped turned the state from may-issue to shall-issue.
Van Cleave has been active in the gun rights movement in Virginia for over 20 years, and he says he’s never seen anything like this.
“Nothing even touches the activity in Virginia right now. A lot of gun owners were sleeping, but now they’ve woke the sleeping giant. All these gun owners that have been sound asleep have suddenly woken up.”
The numbers don’t lie. Of Virginia’s 133 counties and independent towns, 23 have already declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries, and another 53 are considering the measure.
“There are more coming,” Van Cleave predicted. “That number’s going to jump quite a bit.”
County Board of Supervisor meetings are literally overflowing with gun owners hoping to send a message to...
