You Tube ends impeachment livestreams of Conservative organizations.

News Busters: YouTube Stops Impeachment Trial Livestreams from Conservative Organizations:

Two conservative outlets have complained that their livestreams of the Senate impeachment trial have been taken down —for no apparent reason.

Judicial Watch’s president, Tom Fitton, noted that the organization’s livestream of the impeachment trial was halted mid-stream. YouTube claimed that the stream was “violating ‘community standards,’” according to Fitton’s Jan. 21 tweet. While the stream still remains on Judicial Watch’s feed, it was not allowed to continue.
[.]
Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) also tweeted that its livestream had been interrupted as well. At 3:54:41 in the video, the content ceased to stream.

Both of these streams simply followed the Jan. 21 Senate Impeachment Trial as it was happening.

YouTube’s “Restrictions on live streaming” states that “live streaming ability” would be shut off if a channel had a “Community Guidelines” strike, if the content had been blocked around the world, if there was a copyright takedown notice, or if it matched another copyrighted live broadcast. But none of these rules appear to have applied to the simple livestream of impeachment.

Terry Jones, Monty Python fame, dies; age 77.

Terry Jones: February 1, 1942 - January 21, 2020

Daily Mail: Monty Python's Terry Jones has died. 

Monty Python star Terry Jones died last night at the age of 77 with his wife by his side after battling a rare form of dementia that robbed him of his speech, his family announced today.

The actor and comedian directed some of the comedy troupe's most-loved works, including Life Of Brian.

Tributes have poured in for the comedian including from fellow Python star Sir Michael Palin who said he was 'kind, generous, supportive and passionate about living life to the full'.

He added: 'Terry was one of my closest, most valued friends."

Hulu Hillary Documentary. And then, her candidacy?

USA MacPaper: Hillary Clinton: 'Lord knows what will happen if we don't retire' Trump.

She reflected on the public's perception of her career and life, dealt with in "Hillary," which is directed by Nanette Burstein and based on 35 hours of interviews with Clinton. (And water-boarding is defined as "torture"? Can you imagine being on crew, or...the film editor? - DD)

"I didn't do a good enough job to break through a lot of the perceptions that were out there," she said. "It was quite common (No it wasn't. - DD) for people who knew me … to shake their heads at the way I was portrayed." (Awwwww...The horror and indignity of it all; dirty deeds from the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. - DD)

And while she would "blow it off, brush it off," she said, "perhaps I could have and should have found ways to better present myself and deal with misperceptions that were out there," she said.

Yeah, Hillary's problem are the "misperceptions" about her. We don't know who she really is. We just don't know the real, loving, caring, wholesome, altruistic, ethical, moral, deeply faith-based Hillary. Lawdy, Lawday! The Hulu doc will change all of our minds and we'll recognize ourselves for the deplorables that we are. Has any other woman in history - ever - been so wronged?
 
She's running. She's waiting for the current DEM clown candidates to destroy each other and then...she steps out from behind the curtain. Or, there's always Jimmy Carter!

Five Massive Asteroids Heading For Earth This Weekend.

IB Times: NASA Detects Five Massive Asteroids Heading For Earth This Weekend.

NASA has warned that a total of five massive asteroids will approach Earth this weekend. According to the agency, the biggest asteroid in the group is larger than the Washington Monument.

The first asteroid that will fly close to Earth on Saturday has been identified by NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) as 2020 AH1. This asteroid is currently moving at an average speed of almost 18,000 miles per hour. CNEOS estimated that this asteroid is about 246 feet wide.

Trailing behind 2020 AH1 is an asteroid known as 2009 BH2. According to CNEOS, this asteroid measures about 656 feet wide, making it the largest space rock in the group. 2009 BH2 is currently flying towards Earth at a velocity of 40,000 miles per hour.

The last asteroid that will visit Earth’s vicinity on Saturday is called 2020 AQ3. It is traveling at a speed of about 28,000 miles per hour and has an estimated diameter of 360 feet.

All three asteroids will fly near Earth on Jan. 18. 2020 AH1 will arrive at 7:30 a.m. EST. It will approach the planet from a distance of 0.04048 astronomical units or roughly 3.8 million miles away. 2009 BH2, on the other hand, will fly past Earth from a distance of 0.03749 astronomical units or 3.5 million miles away.

As for 2020 AQ3, this asteroid will arrive at 4:07 p.m. EST. During this time, the asteroid will be about 0.04339 astronomical units or around 4 million miles from the planet’s center.

On Sunday, Earth will be visited by two asteroids. The first one is called 2020 AM3. It has a diameter of about 200 feet and is moving at a speed of 39,000 miles per hour.

Fucking hit the planet already, or quit the tease.

TSA "humiliates" Tara Houska, Native American woman. "Giddy Up!"

FOX News (Archived): TSA apologizes to Native American woman 'humiliated' during security screening.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has apologized to a Native American woman who was recently “humiliated” by an agent’s offensive treatment while passing through a security screening at Minneapolis−Saint Paul International Airport (MSP).

On Monday morning, attorney and Indigenous rights activist Tara Houska was traveling back to Bemidji through after attending the “Fire Drill Friday" climate change rally in Washington, D.C., over the weekend. While undergoing a routine security screening at MSP’s Terminal 1, Houska was shocked by the “dehumanizing” comments and behavior from a TSA agent, TravelPulse reported.

“The agent said she needed to pat down my braids. She pulled them behind my shoulders, laughed [and] said ‘giddy up!’ as she snapped my braids like reins,” Houska told her 32,000 Twitter followers. “My hair is part of my spirit. I am a Native woman. I am angry, humiliated. Your 'fun' hurt."

“When I informed the middle-aged blonde woman who had casually used her authority to dehumanize and disrespect me, she said, ‘Well it was just in fun, I’m sorry. Your hair is lovely,’” Houska continued in a separate tweet. “That is NOT an apology and it is NOT okay.”
[.]
A post on hair from the TSA blog confirms that the agency indeed has the authority “to pat-down anyone’s hair when needed, no matter their race or gender.” Approved methods include visual inspection, swabbing for explosives or a physical pat-down.

“You’d be surprised what can be hidden in hair. The most notable things we’re looking for in hair are explosives and improvised explosives device components,” the TSA reports. “Any explosive amount could cause injury.”

I don't recall Ms. Houska objecting to, or concerned over, TSA procedures a year and a half ago when a 96-year old grandmother was subjected to an invasive and truly humiliating pat-down experience.

I don't recall Ms. Houska objecting to, or concerned over, TSA procedures when the TSA groped a 9-year old boy who wore a pacemaker.

I don't recall Ms. Houska objecting to, or concerned over, TSA procedures when the TSA groped a 3-year old girl in a wheelchair.

I don't recall Ms. Houska objecting to, or concerned over, TSA procedures when patting down a woman who had a prosthetic breast and a man with a colostomy bag malfunction.

I don't recall Ms. Houska objecting to, or concerned over, TSA procedures on this invasive and perverted "pat-down" of a young boy.

REMEMBER: YOU ARE WITHIN YOUR RIGHTS AND PERMITTED TO FILM TSA "PAT-DOWNS":

I'm no fan of handsy TSA agents, too many who appear to enjoy groping, molesting and humiliating children of all ages, elderly people and people of all ages in wheelchairs, during the "pat-down" procedure.

But don't ask me to sympathize with a Native American attorney who felt "humiliated and dehumanized" because her braided hair was examined and was then told what is an admittedly stupid comment of, "Giddy Up" by a TSA agent.

Where was Houska's outrage over so many past incidents of passengers being treated so disrespectfully by the TSA? Apparently those incidents didn't matter to her. It only mattered, and she only became concerned, when it came to her spiritual braids. TFB.

I shed no tear for Ms. Houska.

"Iron Eyes Cody", fake Native American, an actor playing a role.

"Giddy Up!" It's not just for Kramer anymore.

Illinois Trans Lieutenant Colonel Pritzker Rejects His Sex and Political Affiliation.

Lt. Col. James Jennifer Pritzker

Illinois Family Action: Lieutenant Colonel Pritzker Rejects His Sex and Political Affiliation.

Lieutenant Colonel James Nicholas Pritzker—now known as “Jennifer Natalya” Pritzker—is trying to commandeer the Republican Party to serve the interests of the “trans” cult he officially joined in 2013.

A year ago Pritzker, a long-time RINO donor to GOP campaigns—often the campaigns of RINOs—who has the dubious distinction of being the world’s “only known trans billionaire,” threatened the GOP that if they didn’t climb aboard the “trans” train, he was piling all his buckets of ducats on it and chugging away. He’s making good on his threat.
[.]
Pritzker reversed his position on the GOP. He has now donated to the presidential campaign of Pete Buttigieg—another man who, like Pritzker, seeks to use power to advance sexual perversion.

Now Pritzker rejects both his sex and his political affiliation, thereby demonstrating that he cares more about his deviant sexual desires than fiscal matters, gun control, or defense.

Pritzker’s use of his checkbook to spread the toxic “trans” ideology isn’t limited to supporting Democrats and extorting the GOP.

Articles of Impeachment Delivered.

U.S. News World and World Report: Impeachment Arrives in the Senate.

House Democrats formally triggered the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump early Wednesday evening with a solemn ceremony and procession steeped in tradition that transmitted across the Capitol the two articles of impeachment finalized only minutes before.

Breitbart: Nancy Pelosi Uses More than a Dozen Commemorative Pens to Sign ‘Sad’ Articles of Impeachment.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) declared herself “sad” as she used more than a dozen commemorative pens to sign the two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Wednesday evening.

The occasion was “so sad, so tragic for our country,” Pelosi told reporters, noting the “difficult time in our country’s history.” She then approached a table that had been prepared with the documents, and two dishes full of pens for her to use — about half a dozen pens in each.

Pelosi then sat and signed the articles, one for “abuse of power” and one for “obstruction of Congress.” She applied each pen, paused every few seconds, switched pens, and then continued.

 

Some DEMS having their own Trump Peach Mint trophy pen so they can gloat? It'll make a nice reminder of another of their many political failures, follies, divisiveness, hatred, drama and inability to accept loss.

Feds arrest Avenatti. Buckle Up, Buttercup!

Avenatti's elevator ride with The Feds.

The Daily Beast: Michael Avenatti Arrested by Feds at California State Bar Hearing.

LOS ANGELES—Ex-Stormy Daniels lawyer and Trump antagonist Michael Avenatti was led out of the State Bar Court in Los Angeles by federal agents on Tuesday evening. 

The arrest occurred outside the disciplinary hearing in which the State Bar of California has accused the hard-charging, tough-talking attorney of using a doctored document to scam a client out of nearly $840,000, funneling money from a lawsuit settlement fund to his own personal use.

The State Bar of California, the official attorney licensing agency, has sought to put Avenatti on “involuntary inactive status,” setting in motion a timeline for disbarment proceedings.

During a break in testimony, members of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, who are prosecuting Avenatti in a separate criminal matter in Orange County, parleyed with Avenatti's team of lawyers and took the lawyer into custody.

"I understand that Mr. Avenatti has been arrested by the federal authorities for violating the terms of his release," said attorney Steven Bledsoe, who represents the alleged Avenatti victim in the State Bar case and was present when the arrest occurred.

Avenatti was taken into custody at around 6 p.m. PST.

Remember when Liberal sycophants, like Matthew "Buy Avenatti-Sell Oprah" Yglesias, deluded themselves into believing Avenatti would make the bestest president ever?

Feds arrest Avenatti. Feds arrest Avenatti. Feds arrest Avenatti. I never tire of reading that.

Breitbart: Trump use of doctored Pelosi-Schumer photo draws Muslim ire.

President Donald Trump circulated a fake image on Monday depicting congressional Democrats’ top-ranked leaders in traditional Muslim attire in front of the Iranian flag, drawing criticism that he was promoting Islamophobic tropes.

The manipulated photo retweeted by Trump showed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in Muslim garb with the caption: “The corrupted Dems trying their best to come to the Ayatollah’s rescue #NancyPelosiFakeNews.” Trump, a Republican, had previously faulted Democrats for criticizing his administration’s targeted killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, but his use of Muslim imagery as part of that effort drew pushback from Muslim American advocates.
[.]
The image that Trump retweeted has been circulating on the internet for a few days. The Twitter account that Trump got it from has a history of tweeting in both English and Persian about Iranian issues, promoting pro-Trump content and criticizing U.S. Democrats.

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham defended Trump’s retweet of the image, telling Fox News on Monday that the tweet was intended to show Democrats “have been parroting Iranian talking points, and almost taking the side of terrorists and those who were out to kill the Americans.”

The alleged faked imagery...a doctored, manipulated photo...on the Internet...this is something new, then?

Kentucky government will host first "Muslim Day" at state capitol on January 22.

NTEB: Radical Terror-Supporting Group CAIR Will Be Holding Kentucky’s First-Ever ‘Muslim Day’ To Promote Islam On January 22 In State Capitol Rotunda.

Muslims from all over Kentucky will tour the building on January 22, meet with legislators, pray in the Rotunda, and receive training on how to advocate for issues affecting the Muslim community.
[.]
Waheeda Muhammad, chair of the Kentucky chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations, said one of the goals of the event is to clear up misconceptions about the Islamic faith.

    “One thing that really helps is for people to know a Muslim one-on-one, and that’s part of encouraging Muslims to get out, to be involved in society, because if people know you personally, that’s their image of Islam,” Muhammad told WKU Public Radio.

She says the event will encourage Muslims to get involved in government, including running for office.

Muslim visitors also plan to advocate for certain legislation, including stronger anti-bullying laws.  The group has invited Governor Andy Beshear to meet with them.  Muhammad says Muslim Day at the State Capitol is not government-sanctioned and no taxpayer funds are being used.  She hopes it will become an annual event.

Wind Turbine Blades Dumped In Landfills: 50,000 Tons Of Non-Recyclable Toxic Garbage.

SRSrocco Report: THE RENEWABLE GREEN ENERGY MYTH: 50,000 Tons Of Non-Recyclable Wind Turbine Blades Dumped In The Landfill.

Funny, no one seemed to consider what to do with the massive amount of wind turbine blades once they reached the end of their lifespan.  Thus, the irony of the present-day Green Energy Movement is the dumping of thousands of tons of “non-recyclable” supposedly renewable wind turbine blades in the country’s landfills.

Who would have thought? What’s even worse, is that the amount of wind turbine blades slated for waste disposal is forecasted to quadruple over the next fifteen years as a great deal more blades reach their 15-20 year lifespan.
[.]
Hundreds of giant windmill blades are being shipped to a landfill in Wyoming to be buried because they simply can’t be recycled.  Local media reports several wind farms in the state are sending over 900 un-reusable blades to the Casper Regional Landfill to be buried. While nearly 90 percent of old or decommissioned wind turbines, like the motor housing, can be refurbished or at least crushed, fiberglass windmill blades present a problem due to their size and strength.
[.]
Wyoming isn’t the only landfill accepting worn-out wind turbine blades. They are also being dumped in IOWA and SOUTH DAKOTA [sic].
[.]
The wind turbine blades are a toxic amalgam of unique composites, fiberglass, epoxy, polyvinyl chloride foam, polyethylene terephthalate foam, balsa wood, and polyurethane coatings.

We won't ever have to worry about these toxins seeping into water supplies because that could never happen.

X-Rated movie plays on Michigan highway billboard.

The Washington Times: Michigan teens busted for playing X-rated video on roadside electronic billboard.

Two teenagers have been held accountable for causing a pornographic video to be displayed on an electronic billboard located alongside a highway in Michigan, police said Friday.

Authorities in Auburn Hills said that a 16-year-old from South Lyon and an 18-year-old from Sterling Heights admitted their involvement in an X-rated stunt that stunned drivers.

The incident unfolded on the evening of September 28, 2019, when police received multiple calls from motorists about porn being played on a billboard alongside Interstate 75.
[.]
The teens entered the shed through an unlocked door and spent around 15 minutes inside, The Detroit Free Press reported. Once started, the pornographic video played on the billboard for around 15 to 20 minutes before being stopped.

“That is unclear how exactly they thought about this or why they chose this, other than you can obviously see a shed underneath the sign and maybe curiosity piqued their interest whether or not they could get in, maybe that ran the billboard,” [said Auburn Police Department Lt. Ryan Gagnon].

We have to ask ourselves...which cinematic masterpiece within the genre of adult entertainment the teens' chose?

Raise the New York beer tax, suggests Brooklyn DEM Harvey Epstein.

NY Up.com (Archived): New York’s beer tax is relatively low. Some lawmakers want to double it.

It may be one of the few taxes in which New York state’s bite doesn’t rank among the nation’s highest.

Now, some New York City lawmakers want to more than double the state’s beer excise tax to provide more money for the State University of New York system.

The excise tax, paid by beer distributors, is currently 14 cents per gallon. Bills introduced ahead of the upcoming State Legislature session would raise that to 30 cents per gallon (that matches the state’s current excise tax on wine).
[.]
The Assembly sponsor of the bill, Brooklyn Democrat Harvey Epstein, estimates the increased beer tax would boost the state’s revenues from about $45 million to $96 million per year.
[.]
[Said Paul Leone, executive director of the New York State Brewers Association], “It doesn’t make sense to increase the tax on a successful industry that is still growing to support another." [...] “This tax on business will absolutely cost jobs and slow the industry,” he said.

Gas-powered lawn equipment ban proposed in Santa Maria.

Santa Maria Times: Proposed ban on gas-powered lawn equipment worries Santa Maria-area landscapers.

California regulators have proposed a ban on the sale of gas-powered landscaping equipment, worrying Santa Maria Valley landscapers who say the move would impact their ability to serve their clients.

State regulators with the California Air Resources Board said they plan to ask board members to sign off on a plan by the end of the year to gradually reduce the emissions from items like lawn mowers and leaf blowers to zero.

The move is an important one to reduce air pollution, said Karen Caesar, a spokeswoman for the board.

Caesar said the work put into reducing pollution from car engines hasn’t translated at the same level for lawn mowers, and that the devices often emit more harmful gases than cars.

According to CARB, running the best-selling leaf blower for one hour releases as much smog-forming pollution as driving a 2017 Toyota Camry from Los Angeles to Denver.

Squirrels never liked us. Cause $700 in Jeep damages.

FOX KDVR Colorado: Squirrels cost Windsor man $700 in car repairs.

WINDSOR, Colo. - A Windsor man is out hundreds of dollars after squirrels broke into his car three times in a matter of weeks. Each time, the squirrels chewed through wires that left him unable to drive his Jeep.

Gary Seago says he first noticed the problem toward the end of November.

"I started it up and it was going 'chug, chug, chug' and I thought something's wrong," said Seago.

Seago took his car to the shop and learned a fuel injector plug was chewed in half. Mechanics told him the culprit was likely a squirrel. Many tubes and wires in vehicles are soy-based, which can attract rodents.

The squirrels didn't stop there. The following morning, Seago says the exact same part was once again chewed. And weeks later, they were able to destroy an even more expensive part under the hood.

"It's like they weren't going to stop doing it. They were going to continue to try to make a home of my Jeep," said Seago.

Seago has had to find a way to fund the squirrels' expensive habit. The repairs have totaled roughly $700. Living on a fixed income and without full car insurance, Seago says he can't afford another repair.

"I have doctor's appointments and things I need to go to and I can't be without transportation," said Seago.

He has tried a number of tactics to keep the rodents away. Seago placed moth balls under the hood and also installed a device that uses high-pitched noise and strobe lights to keep them away. He says the deterrents seem to be working, but worries they won't fix the problem permanently. Seago says his neighbor is also experiencing a similar problem.

"It isn't like they're going to do it once and you get your car fixed and everything is OK. Obviously, they continue to get into wherever they can and be destructive," said Seago.

A suggested solution, enticed with a nice, aromatic, tasty, soy-based entree:

Paul Krugman claims his IP hacked and used for downloading child pornography.

Esteemed tech clairvoyant, economist and NYT writer Paul Krugman claims his IP address has been compromised and is being used for downloading child pornography:

"An attempt to Qanon" him? Now that's damn funny. Didn't Krugman once refer to Qanon as a discredited conspiracy theory? So a discredited conspiracy theory, as far as Krugman is concerned, hijacked his IP for child pornography?

 
FOX Business News (Archive): Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman slammed after falling for alleged cyber attack.

First, he told his 4.6 million Twitter followers on Wednesday that bad actors had taken over his IP address. "Well, I’m on the phone with my computer security service, and as I understand it someone compromised my IP address and is using it to download child pornography," Krugman wrote in a now-deleted tweet. "I might just be a random target. But this could be an attempt to Qanon me. It’s an ugly world out there."

Qanon is used to describe far-right conspiracy theorists who believe in a deep state that is threatening to take down President Trump.

He then followed up, in a tweet, saying that the "Times thinks it may have been a scam. Anyway, will have more security in future."

Even so, Krugman's allegations prompted a fierce backlash from social media, with many calling the economist's bluff from the get-go.

Krugman, the same guy who in 2013 called Bitcoin "evil." Yeah, because he didn't buy it back then when its price floated around $600. He missed out on a bargain and is forever pissed about it.

Is Krugman buddies with the Podestaphile Brothers? Did he fly to Epstein Island? Was he pals with financier Jeffrey Epstein?

Nobel Awards were once given to significant people. Now, they're the same as a Golden Globe. Maybe less.

Biden confuses Iraq with Iran - twice! Blames fatigue.

Washington Free Beacon: Joe Biden Confuses Iraq With Iran—Twice.

Former vice president and presidential hopeful Joe Biden confused Iraq with Iran twice while on the campaign trail on Tuesday.

"Iran's parliament voted to eject all Americans and coalition forces from the country," Biden said at a rally in New York. He made the mistake again when he said Trump threatened to get the United States into war with Iraq.

"I said not long ago that as the walls close in on this president, I worried that he was going to get us in war with Iraq," Biden said at private fundraiser in New York City.

    Also, per pooler @ShaneGoldmacher, Biden twice appeared to misspeak, saying 'Iraq' instead of 'Iran':

    "I said not long ago that as the walls close in on this president, I worried that he was going to get us in war with Iraq, as the ultimate wag the dog…'' Biden said.

6.) Biden claims ‘nobody warned me’ about conflict of interest with son Hunter and Ukraine dealings.

Hit the Brietbart link. It's a good, detailed story.

Biden somehow doesn't think anyone, anywhere, has the ability to recall what he's said - on the record - in the past and compare it it with his recent pandering and his unsuccessful, numerous fails in revisionism.

Romney wets self anticipating John Bolton Senate testimony.

Breitbart: Mitt Romney: I Want John Bolton to Testify at Impeachment Trial.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) on Monday became the first Republican senator to state that he would like John Bolton, former White House national security advisor, to testify at the Senate impeachment trial if subpoenaed.

“I would like to be able to hear from John Bolton. What the process is to make that happen, I don’t have an answer for you,” Romney told reporters on Capitol Hill when asked whether he would be open to hearing from Bolton.

In a posted statement, Bolton said that if called to do so at a Senate trial, “I am prepared to testify.”

You know Mittens is looking ahead to a 2024 presidential run. Probably as a DEM.
