Black Voices for Trump help clean up Kenosha, Wisconsin
Volunteers from Black Voices for Trump joined social media influencer Scott Presler on Saturday to help with the recovery in Kenosha, Wisconsin, following several nights of violence and looting in the city.

"People told me not to go to Kenosha — I'm glad I did," Presler told Breitbart News. "Although a bandaid, I believe our presence showed the city that we see, value, and care about them. We had volunteers from Milwaukee, Kenosha, Chicago, and Illinois. "

"We are a family and families stick together like glue," Presler said, adding that almost 100 volunteers helped out in both cities. "I want to give a shout out to Black Voices For Trump for helping to clean up the destruction of Black Lives Matter supporters," Presler continued.

The side hustle of all hustles

Welcome to the Airport of your Choice - Anywhere, U.S.A. If you're old enough, you remember a time when these things looked very different. Used to be - in the Golden Age of Flying - you could show up to the airport with a machine gun in one hand and a martini in the other, raise your glass to the flight attendants on your way to your seat, and truly enjoy your flight. Both life and airfare were simpler and cheaper.

In the turbulent wake of 9/11, though, things changed almost overnight. Airports became segregated little micro-nations where, in order to cross from one fiefdom into the next, you were apt to run up against a little man with a monocle and a thick German accent saying, "Papers, please". A virtual Berlin Wall of metal detectors, X-Ray machines, and extremely cheerful authoritarian glove-wearers with a penchant for buggery in the name of security - all of this arose and became the new norm. People complained about it - and still complain to this day - but pretty much everybody eventually accepted it. And here we are today, almost two decades later, and it remains the same. Walking into an American airport truly is like walking into another world.

And, as it turns out, a very expensive one...

According to the news agency Siren, some of the companies receiving Swedish taxpayers' money are controlled by individuals who have fought for Daesh in the Middle East and al-Shabaab in Africa. Terrorism researcher Magnus Ranstorp stressed that great gains are to be made in financial crime, with very little risks.

Companies run by Islamists in Sweden have received over one billion kronor through deals with municipalities and the Swedish state, the newspaper Aftonbladet reported, citing a review that mapped Islamists' economic connections to the Swedish state.

Fund the police! Chicago sees a huge decrease in murders by using more cops and arresting armed criminals

In the midst of a massive push to defund police departments everywhere, Chicago is showing what works to tackle crime. More cops equals fewer offences and the world needs to pay attention.

For many years, Chicago has been known more for its crime rate than its delicious pizza or its sports teams. Being someone who was originally raised in the area, it's been heartbreaking to see my favorite city in the world recently become susceptible to crime because of bad governance. In fact, my very first comic book was inspired by the idea of whether or not it would take a superhero to make a difference. It seems like the solution is much more simple than someone in a mask.

During the month of August, Chicago saw an increase in federal assistance with local law enforcement combined with more effective use of the city's police force. Statistics have already come back showing the difference that's been made. The city saw a 45 percent decrease in murders from the previous month in what has been the bloodiest year that Chicago has seen in some time. Given that murder has been the city's crime of choice this year (other crimes have seen a downward trend), this is a very substantial change.

Indiana Congressman introduces bill to ban rioting 'Antifa thugs' from receiving unemployment aid

Jim Banks Trump
U.S. Rep. Jim Banks, an Indiana Republican, introduced a two-page bill Friday that would ban people from receiving federal unemployment aid if they are convicted of a federal offense related to protests such as those rocking much of the country.

Those convicted of such a crime also would have to pay restitution for the cost of policing the protests, the amount of which would be determined by a court.

With Democrats in control of the House of Representatives, the bill likely has little chance of moving.

"Antifa thugs are descending on suffering communities," the Fort Wayne Republican said in a news release, "disrupting peaceful protests and leaving violence, looting and vandalism in their wake. They turned Milwaukee, Seattle and Portland into warzones, and now they're moving the chaos to Kenosha, Wisconsin."

Comment: Banks is targeting left-wing thugs because they are currently the criminals who are destroying communities. It's pretty simple.

Free speech or deliberate incitement? France's Charlie Hebdo republishes Mohammed cartoons at start of terror trial

charlie hebdo republish islamic cartoons

French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has republished controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed ahead of the trial of 14 people accused of assisting terrorists to attack the publication’s offices in 2015.
French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, the target of a massacre by Islamist gunmen in 2015, republished on Wednesday hugely controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed to mark the start of the trial of alleged accomplices to the attack.

"We will never lie down. We will never give up," director Laurent "Riss" Sourisseau wrote in an editorial to go with the cartoons in the latest edition.

"The hatred that struck us is still there and, since 2015, it has taken the time to mutate, to change its appearance, to go unnoticed and to quietly continue its ruthless crusade," he said.

Twelve people, including some of France's most celebrated cartoonists, were killed on January 7, 2015, when brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi went on a gun rampage at the paper's offices in Paris.

Comment: There's more to the story than just the actual perpetrators.

Hungry New Yorkers form quarter-mile line for free food in Queens

hungry new yorkers food line
The line stretched a quarter-mile before the sun was barely up Saturday, snaking around corners like bread lines in the 1930s. But the hungry in Queens are today's New Yorkers, left jobless by the coronavirus.

Until the pandemic struck the city, La Jornada food pantry used to hand out groceries to roughly 1,000 families a week. Now, the figure tops 10,000. And volunteers serve lunch every day to 1,000 — many of them kids with growling stomachs. Across the five boroughs, the hungry number in the hundreds of thousands, the Food Bank of New York estimates.

"It reminds me of the picture from the Great Depression where a man in a suit and tie is giving another man in a suit and tie an apple. That's all he had," La Jornada's Pedro Rodriguez told The Post. "We give all we have, but that's not enough."

Seniors, moms and kids, singles — many immigrants from China and Mexico — wait for hours. They turn out in droves wherever, and whenever, the food pantry's truck shows up.

"We feel like we are underwater, drowning in a tsunami of people," Rodriguez, a volunteer who acts as the food pantry's executive director, told The Post. "This isn't like a little rain coming down. The numbers are unbelievable."

Comment: Under the bogus virus and lockdown narrative Mayor Bill DeBlasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo have just destroyed New York; destroyed. The repercussions being still in the early stages.

And as far as the economic damage inflicted - and the numbers of individuals who are suffering for lack of income and therefore food - we ain't seen nothing yet.

'Full-blown fascism' comes to Australia: PREGNANT woman handcuffed & charged with inciting anti-lockdown event on Facebook

Australian law enforcers have arrested an expectant mother for allegedly planning a protest against the Covid-19 lockdown in the state of Victoria, drawing ire and accusations of thought policing online.

The Victoria Police descended on the woman's house earlier in the day, presenting a search warrant and accusing her of "incitement" - ostensibly by making a Facebook post calling for a socially distanced rally against the quarantine measures across the state.

Videos of the 28-year-old - dressed in pajamas and visibly caught off-guard by the police intrusion - were widely shared on social media, showing her flanked and confronted by officers. One of them claims she broke the law "in relation to a Facebook post [and] in relation to the anti-lockdown protest," while another puts the irons on her.

Comment: Breitbart adds:
The apprehension comes just days after a group of anti-lockdown protesters clashed with police in the state capital Melbourne at a separate event and almost 200 more Victorians were fined for breaching restrictions.

Victoria is governed by hard-left Australian Labor Party (ALP) leader Daniel Andrews who has seen the state top the national list of infections and deaths during the coronavirus pandemic.

As Breitbart News reported, this is not the first time police under his direction have acted so quickly and with such force against those suspected of violating state requirements during the pandemic.

Video emerged last month of a woman being confronted by state police and violently wrestled to the ground for not wearing a mask. The vision has gone viral and sparked an official inquiry.

The woman - who was subsequently found to have had an exemption for wearing a mask - appears to resist as the male officer grabs her and she is pushed against a wall."You're choking me," she yells and repeatedly swears at the officer before she is forced to the ground:


The woman has been charged with resisting police and assaulting police and the arrest has been referred to an internal Victoria police review body, the Professional Standards Command.

"Police made the decision to arrest the woman after she failed to provide her name and address," a Victoria Police spokesperson said, NINE News reports. "She also did not state she had an exemption for not wearing a face covering."

In the bin: Social accounts deleted as war to "debunk" COVID conspiracies heats up

facebook key
Social media giants are removing millions of posts and accounts promoting coronavirus conspiracy theories and anti-lockdown protests.

And Australian groups are in the firing line.

On Monday, Facebook deleted a prominent anti-lockdown conspiracy group, Millions Rise for Australia.

The group, which had 120,000 followers, had been sharing COVID conspiracy theories and encouraging its followers to attend upcoming Freedom Day protests on September 5, taking place across major cities.

In a statement to The New Daily, a Facebook spokesperson said: "We removed this group and others for repeated violations of our Community Standards".

"We remove misinformation that could lead to imminent physical harm, and restrict access to any content that violates local government guidance about social distancing.''

The group's members were left angry at its deletion and quickly tried starting up new "backup" groups under similar names.

The decision to make people wear masks in the French capital was made after the country reported a major spike in infections, with 7,379 new coronavirus cases on Friday, almost reaching the peak results of 31 March, when 7,500 new cases were confirmed.

On Saturday, people have taken to the streets of Paris to protest against the compulsory mask-wearing ordered by French Prime Minister Jean Castex amid the latest surge of the disease.


Comment: Riot police have been deployed in some areas to enforce the nonsensical rule.


Police have fined at least 73 people during the protest for not wearing masks.

Comment: France's tyrannical lockdown brought a moments pause for the much despised Macron government as undemocratic laws (mostly, but not entirely) prevented the Yellow Vests from continuing their protests; protests that have been ongoing for well over 2 years now: Yellow Vests DEFY coronavirus lockdown to protest Macron government
