VIDEOHere is just ONE of the ways in which CNN plans to practice debate CENSORSHIP via muting. Not to be confused with CNN alienating independent journalists by refusing to allow them to comment during livestreams of the debate. That is another form of CENSORSHIP by CNN.

This year, Arizona State Senator Ken Bennett (R-1) voted against legislation to protect children from transgenderism in their public schools, as well as legislation that would bar satanic displays from public property.In February, Bennett voted with Democrats to kill Senate Resolution 1013, which would have put restrictions on transgenderism in public schools up for a vote among the people of Arizona. If approved, the resolution would have barred public schools from allowing men to use girls’ restrooms and changing facilities (and vice-versa), while also barring public schools from socially transitioning children behind their parent’s backs.Bennett said that he voted against...

Former first lady Michelle Obama is reluctant to publicly campaign for President Biden’s re-election because, in part, of how the family treated Kathleen Buhle, her close friend, in the wake of her divorce from Hunter Biden, a new report claims. The wife of former President Barack Obama has largely steered clear of the 2024 campaign trail after expressing frustration in private over Buhle’s apparent exile from the Biden family years earlier, Axios reported, citing two sources familiar with the relationship. Michelle’s disdain for partisan politics is also partly to blame for her absence so far this election cycle, the sources...

CNN demonstrated how they will mute the microphones during Thursday night’s debate. The microphones will be muted except when it is the candidate’s ‘turn’ to speak. Of course, they will likely only use this feature to mute Trump. ..... Snip..... The debate will be hosted by Trump haters Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. The debate is rigged. According to CNN: The ‘high tech’ microphones have green lights which will tell Biden and Trump whether their mic is on or not. If the light is off but the candidate tries to talk, the sound of their voice won’t make it to...

Multiple outlets in Ukraine and South Korea reported this week that communist North Korea is preparing to send military engineers to aid the Russian invasion of Ukraine – reports Pyongyang has not confirmed at press time, but the Pentagon addressed on Tuesday as concerning. The alarm regarding the potential presence of the North Korean armed forces in the Ukraine war theater follows a brief but consequential visit to Pyongyang by Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, who signed a mutual defense treaty with his counterpart, communist tyrant Kim Jong-un, that requires either country to act in the event that one of the...

A Texas surgeon, who is potentially facing 10 years in prison for having leaked information exposing Texas Children's Hospital for allegedly continuing to perform trans procedures on minors despite claiming otherwise, said his ordeal has convinced him of God's providence.Dr. Eithan Haim, 34, told The Christian Post that he feels God is with him in his battle against the U.S. Department of Justice, which slapped him earlier this month with four felony counts after he "obtained personal information including patient names, treatment codes and the attending physician from Texas Children's Hospital's (TCH) electronic system without authorization," according to a DOJ...

In what appears to be a pathetic attempt to be transparent, CNN revealed how microphones would work during Thursday night’s debate as part of the network’s so-called “rules,” which many argue favor Joe Biden. Anchor Victor Blackwell showed how the two green lights behind each podium are meant to signal to candidates when their mics are turned on. Blackwell then gave an example of what the debate would be like if a candidate tried to speak when the lights were off.

CNN’s presidential debate rules are set for Thursday night as President Joe Biden looks to eviscerate his opponent by potentially raising debunked hoaxes.CNN opposes debate moderators live fact-checking Biden during the high-stakes event, network political director David Chalian announced this week.Neither are the moderators permitted to fact-check fTrump, Chalian said, although they can correct an “egregious” misstatement “that needs to be checked or the record needs to be made clear.”(snip)Critics will watch how Biden’s speaks about his leading reelection pitch of defending democracy from Trump. “When I’m on stage, it’ll be me and this grassroots team versus Donald Trump and...

The U.S. Supreme Court punted on a major abortion-related decision in Moyle v. United States by sending a case against Idaho’s Defense of Life Act back to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.The decision was made after an appeal and dealt with Idaho’s pro-life Defense of Life Act and whether it was preempted by the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), which the Biden administration claims includes abortions. The court's decision to send the case back to a lower court restores emergency abortions in Idaho for the time being."The decision vacates the previous stay, reinstates the preliminary injunction,...

It’s debate day. Insanely early (the contestants have yet to be nominated), but debate day nonetheless. It’s Rocky versus Apollo. The rematch. Or more like Rocky versus Mickey — if Rocky’s elderly trainer had been reduced to a senile stooge in the throes of dementia, better suited for an assisted living facility than the boxing ring.But we’ve been told ad nauseam by President Joe Biden’s handlers and his corporate media public-relations firm that the Democrat is ready for the rhetorical fight with a bare-knuckle brawler. After all, young Joe Biden once went toe to toe with a Delaware gang leader....

The U.K. has spent millions on a plan to send migrants to live in Africa. It’s now tied up in logistical, political and legal issues.. Two years ago, the British government decided to spend big to outsource a migration problem. To deter migrants seeking asylum from illegally entering the country, it announced a radical plan: Those smuggled on makeshift dinghies to British shores would be sent to Rwanda, a small country in central Africa, where they would remain. The U.K. government handed Rwanda ... $150 million down payment and told it to get ready to host thousands of potential refugees....

It was noon on Dec. 3, 2020, and Richard Barron had a problem. The 2020 Presidential Election results, already declared by the deep state to be the "most secure in American history,” had just undergone a machine recount in Georgia. Fulton County was meeting to certify the results in less than 24 hours, and the then-Elections Director was more than 17,000 votes short. Joe Biden, a despised corrupt career politician who had been running for president (and failing spectacularly) since 1987, allegedly received the most votes for president in U.S. history, yet simultaneously could only sneak by in Georgia by...

An Oketz dog caused an uproar after it was filmed attacking a Gaza resident in her home in Jabaliya. Israel was attacked in the Arab world and the video of the attack sparked a wave of hatred towards Israel, but it turns out that this is a dog that was kidnapped by Hamas.

The report was published on the Qatari Al-Jazeera channel, which is affiliated with Hamas....

How Israelis are preparing A war with Hezbollah now looms, but perhaps, since both sides know that they will suffer terrible damage, it will continue to be avoided. Hezbollah has 130,000 rockets and missiles, some of which, through sheer numbers, managed to avoid interception by Israel’s three-layered anti-missile defense, consisting of Arrow-2 and Arrow-3, David’s Sling, and Iron Dome. Even now, the IDF must be calculating how many, in that vast array of rockets and missiles, can be destroyed on the ground, before they are launched, by Israeli airstrikes and missiles. And the IDF has to estimate, too, how many...
