Feckless Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Admits ANTIFA Rioters Aren’t “Peaceful Protestors” As Mayhem Continues

This dip has zero integrity.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler finally admitted that the ANTIFA criminals responsible for street violence in Portland over the past three months are not “peaceful protestors” on Thursday, condemning the militants in the strongest terms yet. Wheeler had previously been a staunch apologist for the street criminals.

“This is not peaceful protest… This is not advocacy to advance reforms or transform any system.”

Wheeler’s remarks in the Thursday press conference come a night after an ANTIFA mob attempted to set fire to a Portland Police Bureau building in South Portland, while many people were inside the structure. The mob of leftist miscreants has swiftly moved on to Portland police buildings.

In a surprise to no one, criminal activity and dangerous left-wing street riots have continued after the City of Portland finally accepted responsibility for its obligation to secure the Hatfield Federal Courthouse from ANTIFA militancy and political violence. Wheeler had falsely claimed that the rioters were only acting out because of the deployment of federal law enforcement to Portland, an assertion promptly disproved as the rioters have continued to commit crimes this...

Reopening Gay Bathhouses Will Aid 'Economic And Cultural Recovery,' San Francisco Supervisor Says

San Francisco District 8 Supervisor Rafael Mandelman says gay bathhouses need to be reopened ASAP so they can aid the city's "economic and cultural recovery" and his fellow board of supervisors have already unanimously approved an ordinance to help make it happen.

From SF Weekly, "Restrictions Relaxed For Gay Bathhouses, Sex Venues":

Gay bathhouses could have an easier time returning to San Francisco, after the board of supervisors approved an ordinance that would ease restrictions for adult sex venues on July 21 with a unaminous vote.

This will amend the Heath Code, requiring the Director of Health to "adopt minimum health and safety standards" for commercial adult sex venues. It will also remove decades-old policies that required these businesses to monitor sexual activities and prohibited private rooms and locked doors.

These regulations were put in place in 1984, when the AIDS crisis was devastating gay communities in San Francisco. They specifically targeted sex clubs and gay bathhouses, and while sex clubs eventually reopened in the city after shuttering their doors, gay bathhouses never did, according to the Bay Area Reporter.

That could change after the COVID-19 pandemic is over (this new ruling will not affect the city's reopening timeline). The ordinance, led by Supervisor Rafael Mandelman, will help "decriminalize sexuality" according to a press release by the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.

[...] "What this ordinance will do is allow for adult sex venues to be apart of our economic and cultural recovery when it is safe to do so," Mandelman said in a July 9 meeting. "During the '70s and early '80s, bathhouses were a focal point of gay social life in San Francisco, and were important community meeting places for friends to gather to share stories, dance to the latest disco hits, or watch a live show."

Of course, your Churches need to stay closed!

Remember, Fauci said in April in the middle of the pandemic it's fine if people want to use Grindr for gay hookups:

New Twist in Fox News Case Involving Seth Rich

Just over four years ago, in the heat of the 2016 election season, DNC staffer Seth Rich was murdered on the streets of Washington, DC. His murder remains unsolved. At the heart of the case lies one crucial mystery: Did Seth Rich supply Wikileaks with the DNC emails that were published shortly after his murder?

Uh-oh. Al’s got his tinfoil hat on. How dare we speak of this right-wing conspiracy theory? Everyone knows Russia hacked the emails. And even Fox News retracted it’s story.

Well, put aside your talking points. The judge in the Rich family lawsuit against Fox News is now insisting Wikileaks founder Julian Assange provide some answers.

First, the backstory.

Assange is the One Who Connected Rich to WikiLeaks

Fox News wasn’t the first to connected Rich with Wikileaks. It wasn’t “right-wing conspiracy theorists.” In fact, it wasn’t even Bernie Sanders supporters miffed at discovering from the DNC leaks just how far the party had gone to railroad Bernie’s candidacy. It was Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

In an interview with Dutch TV, Assange spoke of the danger of being a WikiLeaks source, and how “a 27-year-old who works for the DNC was shot in the back, murdered.” He doubled down in an interview with Megyn Kelly. WikiLeaks then put out a $20,000 reward for information leading to Seth Rich’s killer or killers. The reward was later raised to$130,000. Assange has never directly said Rich was the source. But he has insisted since the DNC emails were published that he did not get them from Russia.

Assange associate Craig Murray backs up Assange’s claim, says he was handed the files in wooded area by American University in DC by “disgusted” Democrat.

Also, a reporter named Ellen Ratner met with Assange for three hours days before the 2016 election. She recalled in an interview you can see on YouTube that Assange told her the Russians had no involvement. The emails came from an internal source in the Hillary campaign. (Keep in mind, Rich worked for DNC, but had just been offered a gig with the Hillary campaign. Not incidentally, Radner’s brother was Assange’s lawyer.)

Fox News Story and Lawsuit

In 2017 Fox News posted an article titled “Seth Rich, slain DNC staffer, had contact with WikiLeaks, say multiple sources.” The article cited an anonymous federal investigator, who claimed to have reviewed the...

Susan Rice Admits Under Oath She Emailed with Hillary Clinton on Clinton’s Non-Government Email System and Received Emails Related to Government Business on Her Own Personal Email Account

Former top Obama replied ‘do not recall’ 18 times in 13-page interrogatory

Said she ‘does not recall’ who gave her key Benghazi Talking Points she used on TV, ‘does not recall’ being in any meetings regarding Benghazi in five days following attack, and ‘does not recall’ communicating with anyone in Clinton’s office about Benghazi Talking Points

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that former Obama National Security Advisor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, admitted in written responses given under oath that she emailed with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Clinton’s non-government email account and that she received emails related to government business on her own personal email account. Rice’s 2019 sworn written answers are available here.

The State Department objected to all questions, instructions and definitions posed to Rice in Judicial Watch’s court-ordered deposition and “does not recall” almost everything else, including conversations with Clinton.

In responding to each of the 13 questions asked of her, Rice claimed 18 times that she “does not recall” critical information.

When asked to describe meetings or discussions about the events in Benghazi other than daily intelligence briefings, Rice said that she had discussions with friends and family, and “does not recall attending any meetings focused on the events in Benghazi between September 11, 2012 and September 16, 2012, other than attending a ceremony on September 14, 2012, at Joint Base Andrews … ” Rice said she believes she would have discussed the Benghazi attack with members of her UN staff, colleagues at the United Nations, and individuals in attendance at the ceremony on September 14, 2012, at Joint Base Andrews.
When asked why she used a non-government email accounts to conduct U.S. government business while U.S. Ambassador to the United States, Rice acknowledged using her personal email account, at times, to conduct official government business without answering the question why she used non-government email accounts.
Rice did not directly answer a question about deleting emails. Rather, Rice answered that “when emails related to U.S. government business were sent to [her] personal email account, [she] took steps to ensure that a copy of that email was also on her government email account.” and she “does not recall having need to review and return emails form any non-governmental email account.”

Rice’s interrogatory responses come in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit that seeks records concerning “talking points or updates on the Benghazi attack” (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:14-cv-01242)). This FOIA lawsuit led directly to the disclosure of the Clinton email system in 2015. Judicial Watch uncovered “talking points” created by the Obama White House and other documents showing that statements about the attack made on the eve of the 2012 elections by then-National Security Advisor Susan Rice were false.

On December 6, 2018, U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth ordered Obama administration senior State Department officials, lawyers and Clinton aides, as well as Susan Rice, to be deposed or answer written questions under oath. Judge Lamberth called the Clinton email system “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.”

Judicial Watch’s discovery is centered upon whether Clinton intentionally attempted to evade the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by using a non-government email system and whether the...

The Ringleader Wants De Facto Third Term.

Joe Biden’s campaign recently delayed his self-imposed August 1 deadline to announce his running mate. Biden’s handlers were under pressure from Senator Kamala Harris and Representative Karen Bass to name them. The Biden brain trust delayed the announcement so surrogates could discredit Harris and Bass. That opens the door for Obama’s choice: Susan Rice.

Former President Barack Obama, indispensable to the campaign, knows Biden lacks the cognitive skills to govern, and his tenure will likely be brief. Like four years ago, Democrats have convinced themselves President Donald Trump cannot win. For Obama, Biden’s running mate will be our next president. Obama must control that person to continue his socialist transformation of America and protect himself from exposure for undermining candidate and President Trump.

Handicappers and bettors pick Harris as the front-runner. They are wrong, not because of Biden, but because of Obama. He needs Biden to select someone he can control and trust. That is Rice.

If Harris or Bass were selected, they would want to manage the campaign and then not pass Obama the keys to the Oval Office. Their agendas may align, but either would demand control while Rice would continue as a reliable subservient partner.

For traditionalists, Rice’s drawbacks are that she has no base in the party, has never raised money, and has never held elective office. She is a policy wonk, not a politician. However, nothing about this election is traditional. Unable to defend Rice’s real credential—her loyalty to him—Obama has activated the Democrat attack machine. The establishment political left and the media are discrediting Rice’s opponents, without leaving his or Biden’s fingerprints on the murder weapon.

An example was how Obama and the Democrat establishment torpedoed self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders. Their media partners suddenly focused on his socialism, leading other Democrats to bemoan his unelectability.

As chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, Bass cannot be so directly engaged. Instead of suffering attacks by Democrats, Bass appeared on Meet the Press and was promptly fed to the media sharks.

Host Chuck Todd blindsided Bass, “you sound a lot tougher on Castro now than you did when you described him as ‘comandante en jefe’ when he died.… You said you didn’t quite realize how sensitive folks were in South Florida about...
