This is so backwards and very indicative of how terrible media coverage of COVID-19 has been.
8 out of Govs w/ the top 10 approvals have a Covid death rate above 60 per 100k. The other 2 are Republicans.

Only 2 out of Govs w/ the bottom 10 approvals have a Covid death rate above 60 per 100K. Only 1 Dem in the group, Hawaii's Ige.

Speaks volumes about the coverage. ImageImage
The media consistently rewarded Governors that failed to protect at-risk constituents because they were juxtaposed against Trump. Meanwhile, they punished Governors that performed much better at protecting their most vulnerable populations because they had an R by their name.
The result is that the public is so misinformed that the Governor of a state where 180 people per 100K died due to Covid-19 has double the approval ratings on handling Covid-19 compared to a Governor where Covid-19 took 50 people per 100K.
*Hogan is a Republican. That was a typo in Table 1.

So just to clarify because I think it’s important to note:

The indictment alleges that the founders of the company, Lauren Chen and her husband, intentionally deceived the influencers mentioned below (seemingly Dave Rubin and Tim Pool) regarding the source of the funding.

“Founder 1” is Lauren Chen, who gained these contacts when she worked for RT between March 2021 and Feb 2022.

When they were trying to sign the influencers who recognized some red flags, the fake person they sold as the main investor in France set up a meeting but mistakenly tried to show up to it at the Moscow time for meeting. Then googled the time in Paris. Image

There has been a lot of discussion about whether Israel, a country w a nearly 20% Arab population with full legal rights, is an "apartheid" state.

But the accusation often comes from supporters of surrounding states and territories. So let’s look at some of those for comparison:
Saudi Arabia:

Religious rights- Saudi legal system based on Sharia law. All forms of public religious worship outside Sunni Islam are considered illegal. Converting from Islam is punishable by death. Christians and Jews cannot build places of worship.

Women’s rights- Women must obtain permission from a male guardian for most actions.

LGBT- Homosexuality is a criminal offense.
Qatar:

Religious rights- Qatar’s legal system is based on Sharia law. All forms of public religious worship outside Islam are considered illegal. Building non-Muslim places of worship is severely restricted.

Women’s rights- Women must obtain permission from a male guardian for most actions.

LGBT- Homosexuality is a criminal offense.

So let's talk about a story that didn't get sufficient coverage from a few years ago and why it is still relevant today.

The below security footage likely saved Armaan Premjee's life.
In 2017, Premjee was a normal USC student who went out to the bar for a night of drinking. He met another USC student there. He went back to her dorm and slept with her. Something rather common at college campuses.

But after her friends discovered them and she got alcohol poisoning, the girl claimed she had no recollection of the events and claimed she must have been raped. The police arrested and charged Arman under the theory that the girl had been too drunk to consent.

Lucky for Armaan, there was security footage that showed the girl initiating the sexual encounter and signaling to her friend outside the bar that she wanted to have sex with him. After seeing the video, the judge in the case dismissed it.

But that’s not all there is to the story…
USC’s Office of Equity and Diversity did its own hearing & expelled Armaan despite the footage. In addition to ignoring the video, USC did not allow Armaan’s lawyer to speak at the hearing.

At the time, Obama-era Title IX rules which limited due process rights were in place.

Giving a book report on a book she hasn’t read…

Vice President Selina Meyer: “It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down”

“We will work together, and continue to work together, to address these issues, to tackle these challenges, and to work together as we continue to work operating from the new norms, rules, and agreements, that we will convene to work together..”

If you’re surprised that Candace Owens is now downplaying and whatabouting Hitler’s crimes, then you haven’t been paying attention.

She has signaled for some time that she thinks America was wrong to take on Hitler in WWII.
Image
Image
She literally doesn’t actually know anything about history or any of these topics. She just picks up random facts/claims on Nazi websites now and runs with them to justify her idiotic narratives. And any time anyone points it out, she just claims she is a victim being silenced. Image
But don’t worry. It’s not just pro-Hitler, antisemitic, and anti-American conspiracies. She also doesn’t believe in dinosaurs and isn’t sure if the world is round.

So she does diversify her ignorance.

The Hill chooses to platform this despicable lowlife bigot and her atrocity/rape denials.

She spent their entire show spewing one lie after the next using that platform.
A reminder the evidence of rape on 10/7 is overwhelming.

In addition, she uses retracted, false, and evidence-free accusations against Israel while issuing these atrocity denials. A truly evil person.
Truly one of the dumbest people to ever have a media platform. Image
