HOAX: Democratic Mayoral Candidate Arrested for Hoaxing Her Own Kidnapping, Beating in Publicity Stunt

She gave Smollett a run for his money.

A South Carolina woman has been arrested and charged with staging her own kidnapping and beating with the hopes of attracting support for her campaign for mayor of Sumter, South Carolina. Sabrina Belcher is running for mayor of the city as a Democrat.

Belcher broadcast her own faux kidnapping in a Facebook live stream, in a performance that can only be described as comical.

Belcher has been charged with conspiracy and filing a false police report. One of Belcher’s associates, Christopher Eaddy, has also been charged with assisting her in staging the hoax.

Police are alleging that the entire plot was concocted from the beginning as a campaign stunt to gain sympathy and boost Belcher’s electoral prospects.

“This was simply an effort to create disorder and discontent in our community for personal gain,” said Chief Russell Roark in a press release. “As a result, a valuable number of resources, including personnel, man hours of the police department as well as local medical professionals, were wasted based on false information.”

It’s unclear if this event fits the definition of a straightforward hate hoax akin to the hoax perpetrated by Jussie Smollett, as false accusations of racism didn’t seem to be a part of the fake kidnapping plot. However, Belcher did stage her own political persecution in an attempt to promote herself, and police communications regarding the arrest indicate that Belcher had been trying to smear other candidates running for mayor as a part of...

Black voter speaks out in Delaware: ‘Biden doesn’t do nothing here … Donald Trump is the change’

A young black man and supporter of President Donald Trump who claims to be a resident of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s hometown of Wilmington, Del., says in a viral video he’s never seen the former vice president and long-serving U.S. senator in his neighborhood.

“Joe Biden doesn’t do nothing here,” the man says as he leans out of a car window, adding that he lives on “East 28th street right across from the projects.”

“I have never seen Joe Biden a day in my life, ever, to come to Delaware and do anything,” he continues. “It’s lies, it’s all lies.

“Four years. Donald Trump’s been in office for four years cleaning up their mess for over hundreds of years. It’s not his fault,” the man says. “This is their politicians. This is the change. Donald Trump is the change for us, for the people.”

According to recent surveys, black voters are increasingly turned away from the Democrat Party and towards President Trump.

In November, a pair of surveys had the president’s support among blacks at an astounding 34 percent, leading CNN’s ‘Republican’ contributor Ana Navarro incredulous.

“Zero chance this is accurate. Zero. The poll must have only been conducted in the homes of Ben Carson, Kanye, that sheriff guy with the hat and those two Cubic Zirconia & Polyester-Spandex ladies,” she claimed.

At the same time, a February poll found that Democrats, who have historically gotten the vast majority of the black vote despite the party’s history of supporting slavery, the Confederacy, and the KKK, were underperforming with...

Goodyear Stock Price Nosedives After Company Endorses ‘Black Lives Matter,’ Bans Employees From Saying ‘Blue Lives Matter’

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.’s stock prices plummeted more than 4 percent Wednesday after President Donald Trump called for a boycott of the company for a reported “zero tolerance” policy on “Make America Great Again” hats and “Blue Lives Matter” messages.

A photo posted to Twitter showed a slide allegedly part of Goodyear’s diversity training that listed appropriate slogans and organizations that may be showcased on employee attire. In the “acceptable” column is “Black Lives Matter” and “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride” while statements such as “Blue Lives Matter,” “All Lives Matter,” “MAGA Attire,” and “Political Affiliated Slogans or Material,” are deemed “unacceptable.”

While the company’s stock market performance suffered immediately after President Trump’s call to action, Goodyear has significantly underperformed in the last two years with stock prices falling over 60 percent despite a 43 percent increase in the NASDAQ overall.

According to the company, the declines showcased in the most recent quarterly report were “driven by lower industry volume and reduced sales from other tire-related businesses,” but some point out that the company’s financial downfall began long before COVID-19, causing some speculation about the company’s leadership and executives.

While Goodyear CEO Richard Kramer has donated to Republican candidates and lawmakers in the past, his most recent campaign donations were to two Ohio Democrats: Rep. Tim Ryan and Sen. Sherrod Brown. Kramer gave $1,000 to Ryan in 2018 and $2,500 to Brown in 2017. Federal campaign donation records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics show that Kramer hasn’t donated to a Republican candidate for federal office in over a decade.

The company issued a statement in response to the leaked photo claiming that the image...

Woman charged after video shows theft of boy's MAGA hat, sign ripped in Wilmington

A 21-year-old Wilmington woman was arrested in connection with an anti-Trump incident, that was captured on video that's gone viral, on the final night of the virtual Democratic National Convention on Wilmington's Riverfront.

Olivia M. Winslow was handcuffed Friday, August 21, 2020, after Wilmington Police were called to the 600 block of Justison Street the evening before for reports of an offensive touching incident involving a 7-year-old boy.

Video circulated on social media, by Students for Trump, shows two girls, one police said was Winslow, tearing up Trump signs and stealing the young boy's "Make America Great Again" hat. The video shows the boy crying, and his mother encouraging him to get his hat back.

Police said they arrested Winslow after reviewing video footage of the event. A second woman involved hasn't yet been arrested.

Court records, obtained by WDEL, report the victim telling police the woman who's yet to be arrested "forcefully" snatched a political sign from her hand while Winslow stole the MAGA hat and handed it to her alleged accomplice. Winslow is also accused of knocking a hat off an adult woman's head. As the victim's 7-year-old son went to retrieve the hat off the ground, the woman who's yet to be arrested attempted to stomp on the hat, but stomped on the boy's hand, according to statements in court records. The little boy wasn't hurt, but did begin to cry, police said.

The woman who's yet to be arrested is accused of punching a third victim, a man, in the face, resulting in a small laceration to his lip which caused him "substantial pain" the victim told police in court records. The woman who hasn't been arrested then threw the MAGA hat over a fence and struck the adult woman in the face with a closed fist, which did not result in injury, court records said.

Winslow faces charges of first-degree robbery, second-degree conspiracy, endangering the welfare of a child.

She was...
