Bloomberg spent $10 million on a Super Bowl ad that was a complete fabrication

Far-left Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg is an anti-gun radical. So, naturally, he ran a $10 million anti-gun Super Bowl commercial Sunday. The only problem is he gave misleading information about the subject of the ad and he cited incorrect data on gun-related deaths for children that included adults and suicides. Furthermore, he didn’t bother to mention the problems are suicides and gangs, not guns.

The ad focuses on the tragic life and death of George Kemp Jr. He was shot and killed in 2013. His broken-hearted mother narrates, followed by this statistic, “2,900 CHILDREN DIE FROM GUN VIOLENCE EVERY YEAR.”

GEORGE KEMP WAS NOT A CHILD AND THE DEATH WAS GANG-RELATED

Right off the bat, George Kemp was not a child, he was 20 years of age when he was killed. George Kemp died in a park where he met other men to settle a ‘personal matter.”

The confrontation was described as “gang-related” by a Texas appeals court, According to the court, “two groups of young men, most of them teenagers, had met that night for a fight.” Two of them, including an 18-year-old, Corey Coleman, fired the handgun rounds that struck Kemp. Coleman was convicted of murder and sentenced to 34 years in prison.

It wasn’t gun violence, it was gang violence.

THE PROBLEMS ARE GANGS AND SUICIDES, NOT GUNS

Also, the ad didn’t cite a source for its 2,900 statistics. Stephen Gutowski, the firearms policy reporter for the Free Beacon, stated that the figure appears to come from a study done by Everytown for Gun Safety.

‘Everytown’ is a radical gun control-centered nonprofit founded by Bloomberg.

Gutowski found that the study included 18 and 19-year-olds in its research, despite claiming the statistic was regarding the deaths of children. He found the figure was...

‘Egregious abuse of power’: Michael Flynn cites FISA report in motion to dismiss case against him

The legal team for retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn cited the Justice Department watchdog’s bombshell report on Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse as the former Trump national security adviser seeks to have the government’s case against him dismissed.

“Even though the investigation pertains to the abuses of the FISA process, not the FBI and DOJ’s misconduct regarding Mr. Flynn, the IG report simultaneously documents at least some of FISA process abuses and misconduct against Mr. Flynn,” lead defense counsel Sidney Powell told a federal court last week. “The IG report is replete with exculpatory evidence that, had it been known to Mr. Flynn, he never would have pled guilty.”

Flynn, 61, pleaded guilty in December 2017 for lying to investigators about his conversations with then-Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak, but last week he told the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., that “in truth, I never lied” and “I am innocent of this crime." Powell, a former federal prosecutor, took over representing Flynn last summer.

Powell said “the case against Mr. Flynn should be dismissed immediately for this egregious abuse of power and trust” laid out in Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report.

Powell pointed to a revelation that showed the intelligence briefing the FBI gave to Trump’s team in August 2016 during the presidential campaign was actually a “pretext” to gather evidence to help in the counterintelligence investigation into Trump’s campaign. The FBI agent who led that briefing, known as “SSA 1” in Horowitz’s report but believed to be FBI supervisory special agent Joseph Pientka, was the same man who accompanied fired FBI special agent Peter Strzok in their controversial interview of Flynn in January 2017.

Flynn’s defense team considers the January 2017 interview to be a setup by then-FBI Director James Comey and disputes the accuracy of the FBI interview notes from...

Men charged with having $7 million worth of fentanyl released without bail under New York’s new criminal justice law

A judge allowed six men charged with possession of millions of dollars worth of fentanyl to be released without bail, a result of New York’s new criminal justice law, according to the New York Post.

Livo Valdez, Jaslin Baldera, Frederick Baldera, Frandi Ledema, Diego Tejada, and Parfraimy Antonio were arrested Monday in an alleged heroin and fentanyl packaging mill, in which police found hundreds of thousands of envelopes of fentanyl powder — valued at $7 million.

Authorities believe the massive amount of drugs was being packaged for distribution onto the streets of New York and the New England region.

The judge at Manhattan Criminal Court released the men after their arraignment Wednesday, citing the fact that they don’t have previous criminal records and that their families showed up for the court proceedings. Assistant District Attorney Michael Di Paolo argued that “none of them are eligible for bail.”

The men were ordered to surrender their passports due to ties to...

Ralph Rebuffed: Virginia Senate Blocks Another Northam Gun Control Measure

The Virginia Senate blocked one of Gov. Ralph Northam’s top gun-control bills Monday, adding to the list of measures the Democratic governor supports that may not pass the legislature.

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted against a bill that would make it a felony to “recklessly leave a loaded, unsecured firearm” in a way that endangers a minor.

It’s one of eight gun-related proposals that Northam has urged lawmakers to adopt. Virginia has become ground zero in the nation’s raging debate over gun control and mass shootings as a new Democratic majority seeks to enact strict new limits. Last month, tens of thousands of guns-rights activists from around the country flooded the Capitol and surrounding area in protest, some donning tactical gear and carrying military rifles.

Two moderate Democrats — Sens. Creigh Deeds and Chap Petersen — joined with Republicans to defeat the bill Monday over concerns that law-abiding gun owners could be unfairly punished.

A similar measure has already passed the House, and the legislation could still pass the Senate later during this year’s legislative session.

“This bill will keep children safe from loaded, unsecured firearms. Like Gov. Northam’s other commonsense gun safety measures, it is something that everyone — including responsible gun owners — should support,” said Northam’s spokeswoman, Alena Yarmosky.

Lawmakers have already signaled that at least one other Northam-backed gun-control bill — a ban on so-called assault weapons like the popular AR-15-syle rifles — may not...

Amoral monsters.

Numerous verified leftists on Twitter reacted to Rush Limbaugh’s announcement that he was suffering from “advanced lung cancer” by celebrating the news.

The veteran radio host broke the news earlier today on his show, telling his viewers, “I can’t help but feel that I’m letting everybody down with. The upshot is that I have been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.”

Blue check marks on Twitter couldn’t contain their delight.

“It’s not cool to joke about Rush Limbaugh having cancer. You might jinx it,” said writer Johnny McNulty.

Writer and director Xavier Burgin called Limbaugh “an odious, white supremacist, scum of the Earth” and said his cancer should be celebrated as “good news for Black History Month.”

“Seeing a lot of people celebrating the news about Rush Limbaugh. And I just want to say good. Carry on,” remarked GQ writer and Bernie Sanders supporter...
