Georgia election workers fired, accused of destroying voting applications...
If one were to apply the old saying of where there’s smoke, there’s fire to Fulton County, Georgia, it’d be understandable that a person might be reaching for a phone right about now to call the fire department because the smoke is billowing in the Peach State.
President Joe Biden won the state of Georgia by less than 12,000 votes, and the most populous county in the state, Fulton County, which includes Atlanta, has fired two election workers for allegedly shredding voting applications in the past two weeks despite a state law requiring officials to preserve elections documents related to primary or general elections for 24 months after the election.
“Preliminary review suggests that employees may have checked out batches of applications for processing. Instead of fully processing them, in some instances the employees allegedly shredded some of the forms. Fellow employees reported this behavior to their supervisor on Friday morning and the employees were terminated the same day,” read a statement released by the county.
Fulton County Commissioners Chairman Robb Pitts immediately reported the incident to the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for investigation.
“Elections are the most important function of our government,” Pitts said in the release. “We have committed to transparency and integrity.”
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said 300 municipal election-related applications were allegedly destroyed and is calling on the Department of Justice to investigate Fulton County elections. His office has already launched an investigation into the allegations.
“After 20 years of documented failure in Fulton County elections, Georgians are tired of waiting to see what the next embarrassing revelation will be,” Raffensperger said in a statement. “The Department of Justice needs to take a long look at what Fulton County is doing and how their leadership disenfranchises Fulton voters through incompetence and malfeasance. The voters of Georgia are...
Loudoun County father who was dragged out of woke school board meeting and arrested was trying to tell other parents his daughter was raped by a boy 'in a skirt' in the girls' bathroom and that staff ignored it
 |
| On June 22, Scott Smith was dragged out of a Loudoun County school board meeting after listening to the woke school board justify its transgender bathroom policies. He says he was trying to tell the room that his daughter had been raped by a boy 'wearing a skirt' in the girls' bathroom just weeks earlier and that the school ignored it |
- Scott Smith, a 48-year-old plumber from Virginia, was arrested on June 22
- He had been protesting at a Loudoun County School Board meeting
- Smith was dragged out of the room before he could share his point - he says his daughter was sexually assaulted on May 28 by a boy in the girls' bathroom
- He wanted to use what happened to her to illustrate why he thinks kids shouldn't be able to pick which gender bathrooms they use
- But he was dragged out before he could and has since been vilified for his views
- The incident happened at Stone Bridge High School on May 28
- He tells The Daily Wire that the boy 'sometimes wears a skirt' and had started using the female bathroom
- The school told Smith his daughter had been assaulted but didn't call police
- In the end he did, and the boy was charged with multiple counts of sodomy two months after the incident - after the school board meeting
- On June 22, Loudoun County school staff said they'd never had a report of of a sexual assault in a trans bathroom
- Smith says they were lying, and that he 'exploded with rage'
Scott Smith was photographed on June 22 being dragged out of the heated meeting with his torso exposed in Leesburg, Virginia. The 48-year-old plumber was ridiculed on social media afterwards and was painted by the left to be a deranged, right-wing bigot.
But in an interview with The Daily Wire that was published on Monday, he explains that he was trying to stick up for his daughter, who he says was attacked at Stone Bridge High School on May 28 by a boy 'in a skirt' who took advantage of the trans policies to get into the girls' bathrooms and assault her.
He said he exploded with rage at the meeting after hearing the school's ultra-liberal staff claim they had never received a report of a sexual assault by a transgender child in the bathrooms or changing rooms when he says that's exactly what he reported to them on May 28.
Now, Smith says the school board went out of its way to protect the child - 'a sexual predator' - but demonize him because he opposed its liberal policies.
'It has been so hard to keep my mouth shut and wait this out. It has been the most powerless thing I’ve ever been through,' he said.
'My wife and I are gay- and lesbian-friendly.
'We're not into this children transgender stuff. The person that attacked our daughter is apparently bisexual and occasionally wears dresses because he likes them.
'So this kid is technically not what the school board was fighting about.
'The point is kids are using it as an advantage to get into the bathrooms,' he said.
On the day of the incident, Smith says the school told him to come to the campus because his daughter had been physically assaulted. They did not say she had been sexually assaulted.
Once he got there, he says school staff told him they would handle it internally, choosing not to call the police for an as-yet unexplained reason.
He was enraged by the decision and challenged them on it. The school board then did call the police but to report Smith, not the boy, for making a scene.
'I went nuts. I called the principal a p****. Six cop cars showed up like a f****** SWAT team,' he said.
The school's principal sent out an alert that day warning parents of what had happened involving Smith, but it said nothing of the sexual assault allegations in the bathroom.
It's unclear exactly what happened next but Smith ended up at the hospital with his daughter.
There, they told doctors what happened and a rape kit was performed.
'Thank God that I drew enough attention to it, without getting arrested, that we got an escort to the hospital and they administered a rape kit that night,' he said.
The rape kit verified his daughter's claim so they took it to the police and a case was opened.
The teenager was arrested two months later - after the school board meeting - after an investigation by the sheriff's office.
'We did respond. At the time, the juvenile was 14-years-old. He was charged with forcible sodomy. After that, it goes through...

Lois Lane Is Distraught. I'm Disgusted.
I'm Ok if they want to make a new superhero who is gay or bisexual, and let them test their legitimacy in the marketplace, but why fuck with existing characters? Characters we grew up with, characters that had heterosexual relationships?
How do you guarantee that we abandon our heroes of old?

The Purpose Of The Jan. 6 Select Committee Is To Suppress Free Speech
The message is clear: if you exercise your First Amendment rights for a cause that those in power have not approved, you will be targeted.
A third round of subpoenas issued last week by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s select committee on the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol has revealed the committee’s investigation for what it is: a brazen attack on the First Amendment rights of peaceful, law-abiding Americans.
Indeed, it’s not too much to say that the committee’s targeting of ordinary Americans poses a far greater threat to freedom and democracy than the Capitol riot ever did.
Why? Because the subpoenas were issued to a pair of private citizens, right-wing activist Ali Alexander and a man named Nathan Martin, as well as a group the men were associated with called Stop the Steal, which had applied for and received a permit from the U.S. Capitol Police to hold a rally on the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6.
Ali and Martin didn’t take part in the riot and have no connection to it. Both men were indeed present at the Capitol grounds that day, along with hundreds of thousands of other people, to host a rally for which, I repeat, their organization applied for and received a permit from U.S. Capitol Police. But their permitted event never even took place.
As Martin told me back in January, about a week after the riot, he was setting up for the event when he saw people entering the U.S. Capitol building from a side door, which didn’t seem right to him. Shortly thereafter, Martin received a text that the event was canceled and he left the Capitol grounds. He didn’t find out about the riot and the breach of the Capitol until he got back to his hotel room later that day.
Martin, an Iraq War veteran and city councilman in Shelby, Ohio, was much like the vast majority of people who came to Washington, D.C., to protest the election in January. He wasn’t there to cause trouble or incite violence, and he didn’t think the protest would change the outcome of the election. His hope, he told me, was that Republican lawmakers would put their objections on the record and go through claims of election fraud “line by line,” especially from states where instances of fraud and irregularities were well-documented.
“I didn’t have any delusions of grandeur that Vice President Pence would come swooping in and change the results or anything like that,” he said. “Although there had been some constitutional talk about whether that was allowed or not, I didn’t feel constitutionally that there was room for that.”
That is, Martin expected Jan. 6 to be what the overwhelming majority of protesters that day expected it to be: a peaceful, orderly, and permitted demonstration at the U.S. Capitol to make their voices heard. The corporate media’s attempt to smear every person who was present on the Capitol grounds that day as an “insurrectionist” is flatly appalling and utterly fantastical.
But it hasn’t stopped them from trying. Martin and other permit applicants for planned rallies on Jan. 6 at the Capitol grounds were badly misrepresented in a BuzzFeed article last month, portrayed as shadowy figures who were evasive or deceptive in their permit applications and conversations with...
When We Celebrate Indigenous People's Day We Celebrate Child Sacrifice, Slavery, Scalping, Torture And Rape To Name A Few...
Why ‘Indigenous Peoples’ Day’ Is Far Worse Than Columbus Day
I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
Hey, we touch
This place is so quiet, sensing that storm
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
They tell you that this rain can sting and look down
There is no blood around, see no sign of pain
Hey, no pain
Seeing no red at all, see no rain
The Leftist media has made it so ‘we don’t know what’s true anymore’
Author and pundit David Rubin warned that the leftist media is getting further and further from the truth lately. Soon, Americans will not know what’s true and what isn’t. Rubin talked about the future of media on the latest episode of the Sara Carter Show.
First, Rubin pointed out all the revelations that have come out of media hypocrisy. Outlets on the left are often caught red-handed framing stories unfairly. For example, CNN cut former President Trump’s comments short, to make it seem like he sympathized with white supremacists following the Charlottesville shooting.
“That chasm between what we can now expose and what they show us, that has gotten so wide. That’s what I’m worried about,” Rubin said. “Because everybody’s sort of falling into the the space between those things now where it’s like, we don’t know what’s true anymore.”
“The press is by and large Democrat,” Rubin said. “They are here to protect their guy, and they are here to destroy the...
Our Representatives, Not J6 Protesters, Defile the ‘Sacred’ U.S. Capitol
The real heretics continue to rule while Robert Reeder is off to jail.
When politics is your religion and government is your God, a public building is your church.
The four-hour disturbance at the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, according to Beltway aristocracy and the media, wasn’t a legitimate protest that turned violent in some areas—it was a sacrilege. Never mind that the building itself sustained minimal damage—early reports estimated $30 million for repairs but the actual figure is around $1 million—the real vandalism occurred when thousands of Americans wearing MAGA hats invaded the cathedral of government power occupied by America’s political deity.
And the alleged apostates are paying a dear price.
Since January 6, lawmakers, judges, and federal prosecutors have routinely described the Capitol building as holy ground. “To those who engaged in the gleeful desecration of this, our temple of democracy, American democracy, justice will be done,” Pelosi said after the breach. Representative Mario Díaz-Balart (R-Fla.) tweeted on January 6 that “the Capitol building is the center and sacred symbol of democracy.”
After the joint session reconvened later that evening, Senator Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) mourned how “this sacred place was desecrated by a mob today, on our watch. This temple to democracy was defiled by thugs who roamed the halls.” Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.) thanked the first responders who protected “this sacred Chamber.”
Here is how Joe Biden’s Justice Department recently described the actions of Robert Reeder, a Maryland man whose life has been ruined since he was charged with four misdemeanors related to his participation in the January 6 protest: “The attack on the U.S. Capitol . . . was one of the only times in our history when the building was literally occupied by hostile participants,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua Rothstein wrote in an August filing. “The Defendant chose to be a part of the desecration of the Capitol rotunda. The Defendant stood in the center of the rotunda, where Ruther (sic) Bader Ginsburg, John Lewis, Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Abraham Lincoln, among others, lied in state. What the Defendant chose to record and celebrate at that place, at that time, was antithetical to the events that most Americans associate with...
Over 1,000 Crew Members Are Stranded On 'Abandoned' Cargo Ships Globally Without Pay Or Food
Pandemic-driven global trade disruptions and an increasing number of shipping companies abandoning their own vessels over mounting debts including older vessels deemed too costly to repair has led to the rise in the phenomenon of crewmembers simply being abandoned at sea, often left to fend for themselves as they await pay which sometimes never comes.
A Friday investigative report in The Wall Street Journal has detailed some of the shocking stories of tanker crew members left adrift after companies abandoned vessels or sold or transferred them, or couldn't pay mounting debts, while trying to survive oftentimes on little food even while moored close to resort locations in places like Dubai - or in other cases floating off the Suez Canal or at Black Sea ports.
"The $14 trillion shipping industry, responsible for 90% of world trade, has left in its wake what appears to be a record number of cargo-ship castaways," the report begins. "Abandonment cases are counted when shipowners fail to pay crews two or more months in wages or don’t cover the cost to send crew members home, according to the International Maritime Organization, a United Nations agency."
The UN agency recorded a doubling in the number of abandonment cases for 2020, with the number expected to grow once again for 2021 particularly after a noticeable surge in cases now getting media attention.
WSJ cites the industry labor union, International Transport Workers’ Federation, to detail that over 1,000 international crew members are currently abandoned. But the report assures the true number of those left aboard container ships and bulk carriers whose transport operations have been halted is likely way higher, given individual crew members' reluctance to come forward for fear of not getting hired by other freight companies.
Though most of those who effectively overnight became "castaways" choose to stay aboard abandoned ships until they get paid, in many cases they legally cannot disembark even if they wanted to due to complex local laws dictating policies of...
