With the advancement of censorship, especially financial curtailment, Christian-owned free speech platform Gab came up with their own alternative payment system, GabPay.
According to a Daily Caller article, ADL and PayPal launched a new project on Monday aimed at identifying and eliminating “extremist and hate movements” on PayPal’s platform.
American Greatness notes that the collaboration, led by the ADL’s “Center on Extremism,” will include the ADL’s research on the use of PayPal’s services by suspected extremists, as well as a commitment to provide results to lawmakers and law enforcement in order to help cut extremist and hate groups off from their funding sources.
Among those that has been barred from using PayPal since 2018 was the social media platform Gab.
On August 1, Gab CEO Andrew Torba shared details about how far they have come in their battle against “global elites” in another of their numerous projects, announcing that they are nearing completion on their alternative to PayPal, GabPay.
“At the moment we are jumping through a lot of legal and regulatory hoops, but things are moving quickly. Building your own Paypal is not as simple as ‘build the software and ship it.’ The software side for GabPay is actually done already and works great. It’s the red tape that takes time,” he explained.
“An alternative to Paypal has never been more important now that the ADL will be combing through your financial transactions and ruining people’s lives for financially supporting people and organizations they don’t like,” he added.
PayPal has blocked Gab from its platform since 2018 and several other payment networks, including Stripe, Square, and Coinbase, have done the same.
Despite running a completely legitimate American company that offers software services and merchandise, Torba said they were also banned from taking credit and debit card payments for the sales of their products on the internet. Fortunately, they had cheques and bitcoin as alternatives.
God used what was intended to be evil for good
Torba stated that he is, in fact, grateful that PayPal suspended Gab for years, since it safeguards their client base from the ADL’s malicious gaze.
“As always, God had a plan and getting banned only led us to build GabPay,” he said.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced an aggressive new strategy to get people vaccinated against Covid-19, confirming that activities like indoor dining and attending gyms will soon be exclusively for the inoculated.
“The only way to patronize these establishments indoors will be if you’re vaccinated,” the mayor announced on Tuesday, citing concerns over the fast-spreading Delta variant.
The requirement will be phased in through August and September and will require patrons entering certain establishments to have had at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine. This can be proven through either a vaccination card or vaccination apps.
De Blasio did not get into specifics about how the mandate would be enforced. He said the rules will go into effect on August 16, but inspections won’t be carried out until September 13.
The mayor also previously announced that all city employees will soon be required to be vaccinated by September, or they will have to subject themselves to weekly testing.
A National Labor Relations Board official said on Monday that Amazon violated labor laws by exercising illegal influence over workers’ votes during unionization efforts, recommending that the results of the company’s unionization vote in Alabama be overturned.
The official recommended that the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union’s complaints against Amazon be sustained due to evidence that the company was improperly distributing “vote no” materials while lobbying the influence of supervisors and managers on lower-level employees.
The official also criticized Amazon for its “unilateral decision to cause the United States Postal Service to install a generic unlabeled mail collection box less than 50 feet from the main entrance to its facility, at a location suggested by [Amazon] and immediately beneath the visible surveillance cameras mounted on [Amazon’s] main entrance.”
The location and bizarre design of the ballot collection box muddies the security of the election, and the union argues it may have convinced employees that they were being monitored.
The RWDSU celebrated the step toward a new election.
“The union had charged Amazon with illegal misconduct during the union vote in Bessemer, Alabama,” the RWDSU said in a statement. “In a final step towards a formal decision, the Hearing Officer who presided over the case has determined that Amazon violated labor law; and is recommending that the Regional Director set aside the results of the election and direct a second election.”
Throughout the run-up to the April election, the RWDSU complained that Amazon was suppressing pro-union sentiment and illegally threatening employees.
Now, with the sympathy of the NLRB, the RWDSU is hoping to overturn what they see as an illegitimate election.
“Workers endured an intensive anti-union campaign designed by Amazon to intimidate and interfere with their choice on whether or not to form a union,” the RWDSU continued.
“Today’s recommendation is based on Amazon’s illegal tactics and shows how the company was willing to use any and all tactics, illegal or otherwise, to stop workers from forming a union,” it said. “Workers now await a formal Decision on Objections from the Regional Director, which would include a Direction of a Second Election if the hearing officer’s recommendation is adopted.”

The left is continuing its tradition of destroying society’s sexual morality, now campaigning on multiple fronts for the normalization of pedophilia.
Like many others, I have fond memories of my childhood. Whether I was marching in an Independence Day Parade, binge-watching the Power Rangers, or making gingerbread men for Christmas with my family, I had the chance to enjoy a childhood that preserved my innocence, an innocence that is unique to children and that, once lost, doesn’t return.
A subset of children growing up today will likely recall certain aspects of their childhood very differently. The left has, with a startling degree of success, endeavored to reshape our society by embedding their beliefs within the experience of childhood, overshadowing 4th of July parades with Pride parades, implanting LGBT propaganda in children’s shows, and supplanting gingerbread men with the “genderbread person.”
In isolation, any of these specific incidences would be unsettling, to say the least, but by viewing them in the larger context one reaches a conclusion that is just as unconscionable as it is unavoidable. It isn’t just that controversial beliefs are being thrust into childhood experiences, but that the natural curiosity, openness, and naivety that is the inherent disposition of youth is being hijacked to normalize a divergent sexual ethic.
This interest in children s not purely ideological, however. With increasing frequency, the obvious has become undeniable. Those who have a creepy obsession with involving children in their sexual tastes, and use any avenue at their disposal to do so, either have a direct sexual interest in children or want to run cover for those who do. The left has a pedophilia problem, and it’s only getting worse.
I was made painstakingly aware of this fact when I attended the 2019 San Francisco Pride Parade to interview attendees for my YouTube channel, which I co-host with a friend. One particularly honest marcher told my co-host that he is “down for the kink with kids,” mentioning later that he believed that “age is a construct.”
Another demonstrator informed me that child involvement in drag is “so cool” and that “there should be more kids doing drag” before saying that the statement “love has no age” is “100 percent true” and letting loose a Freudian slip when he admitted that a child drag queen who performed in a gay night club was paid in the same manner “you do with strippers.”
In case you have the impression that this is an isolated incident, take a look at this mashup of Vice headlines, which in several instances attempt to generate sympathy for pedophiles, obfuscate the definition of pedophilia, and confer legitimacy to “non-offending” pedophiles, including one pseudonymously named Ian whose job “involved children directly” and another called Gary, a man who “developed feelings for a three-year-old girl” but calls himself a “virtuous” pedophile who supposedly doesn’t act on his attraction. Gary was also a foster parent to three children and was subsequently accused of sexually assaulting one of the young girls.
These articles offer some rather striking context for other articles from Vice, such as one in which they fawn over “Photos of the Fabulous Kids of RuPaul’s Drag Convention,” which the publication describes with a fire emoji. As mentioned earlier, one of these children danced on stage for money in a New York City gay bar for a crowd of adult men, which was caught in a video that I can’t link in good conscience.
Lest you believe that Vice is alone in their attempt to normalize pedophilia, turn your attention to the New York Times article “What’s the Best Way to Protect Sex Workers? Depends on Whom You Ask” which opens with the line “TS Candii first traded sex at age 13.” No, New York Times. That’s called pedophilia, not trading sex.
The article reports glowingly on the pedophilic, serial rape of a child who turned to prostitution after “she was forced out of her family home” before “taking refuge with a group of older transgender women who became her mentors” and “taught her how to support herself through sex.”
Normal people would think this sounds a whole lot like a group of perverts pimping out a homeless child for sex. One has to ponder why euphemisms are being used to try and obscure that reality. Perhaps it is because the left has a pedophilia problem.
This type of perversion isn’t an isolated incident in the corporate media, either, with The Washington Post recently running a piece called “Yes, kink belongs at Pride. And I want my kids to see it” that is just as disgusting as the headline makes it sound.
Associate professor at Yale University Joe Fischel echoed this sentiment in his article “Keep Pride Nude” where he asks “What is the presumptive harm if a child …. sees an adult’s butt cheeks, or even an adult’s genitals or breasts?” Fischel then goes on to advocate for children to be exposed to a whole host of other perversions and speaks the language of groomers, which I detail in a previous article. He even tries to justify his perversity when he says “children might like it.”
The New York Times, Washington Post, and Yale faculty aren’t the only powerful players attempting to normalize pedophilia. Flora Gill, a biweekly columnist on “sex and relationships” who writes for GQ.co.uk, called for the creation of “porn for children,” which she calls “entry level porn,” in a now deleted tweet.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized a monoclonal antibody cocktail as a measure to prevent infection in some groups of people who were exposed to the CCP virus, the pathogen that causes COVID-19.
The FDA on Friday announced that it had revised its emergency use authorization (EUA) for REGEN-COV, a treatment consisting of jointly administered casirivimab and imdevimab, expanding its use beyond just the treatment of patients who test positive for the virus.
While the product remains authorized for treating confirmed COVID-19 patients over age 12 who are at high risk of severe illness, the agency said the drug combo can now be given to high-risk groups as a measure after exposure to prevent progression of the disease.
The antibody treatment is only authorized for use in people who have been exposed to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, not as a pre-exposure preventive measure, the FDA said.
The agency added that REGEN-COV should only be used as a post-exposure prophylaxis by people who are not fully vaccinated or whose immune systems are unlikely to mount an adequate response to the virus, like those who take immunosuppressive medications or who are otherwise immunocompromised.
Ex-President Barack Hussein Obama turns 60 on Wednesday, and he’s reportedly splurging on a star-studded birthday bash at his family’s beachfront house on Martha’s Vineyard this weekend. The house is worth approximately $12 million.
According to Axios, the birthday bash is scheduled to attract 475 attendees, including friends, relatives, and former Obama advisers, as well as over 200 staff members.
Media elites are rumored by Axios to be attending as well.
Pearl Jam will perform at the celebration, and movie director Steven Spielberg will be among the guests. According to The Hill, which originally revealed preparations for the party last week, Oprah Winfrey and George Clooney were also invited.
The party coincides with growing fears about the spread of COVID-19’s Delta variant. Recent evidence suggests that vaccinated people can still catch and transmit the Delta variant.
Journalist Peter Doocy caught White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki off-guard at Monday’s press briefing when he asked her about Obama’s party.
California health bureaucrats are struggling to get their story straight as they unleash yet another lockdown mandate on about 7 million residents.
During a press conference on Monday, Dr. Sundari Mase of Sonoma County confirmed everyone in eight Bay Area counties have to wear face masks in public indoor settings. She said this even applies to vaccinated residents because they are testing positive for COVID and spreading the so-called Delta variant.
“In many cases, our hospitals aren’t even admitting vaccinated individuals, especially if they are asymptomatic,” Dr. Mase expalined. “Nonetheless, there is evidence that vaccinated people can spread the virus to others…that is why everyone must wear face coverings when in public indoor settings.”
This comes in stark contrast to Berkeley County physician Dr. Lisa Hernandez’s message moments later in which she urged residents to get vaccinated because it will “protect you and those around you.”
Says sorry for telling children “that they were going to murder their grandma.”
The editor-in-chief of Germany’s top newspaper Bild has apologized for the news outlet’s fear-driven coverage of COVID, specifically to children who were told “that they were going to murder their grandma.”
In a speech delivered to camera, Julian Reichelt said sorry for Bild’s coverage which was “like poison” and “made you feel like you were a mortal danger to society.”
Reichelt directed his main sentiment towards children who have been terrorized by fearmongering media coverage which has caused child depression and suicides to soar across the world.
“To the millions of children in this country for whom our society is responsible, I want to express here what neither our government nor our Chancellor dares to tell you. We ask you to forgive us,” he said.
“Forgive us for this policy which, for a year and a half, has made you victims of violence, neglect, isolation, and loneliness.”
“We persuaded our children that they were going to murder their grandma if they dared to be what they are, children. Or if they met their friends. None of this has been scientifically proven.”
Julian Reichelt, the editor-in-chief of @BILD – one of the largest newspapers in Germany, apologized to the children of Germany for the COVID-19 coverage in his newspaper that made them “victims of neglect, isolation and loneliness.”
“When a state steals the rights of a child, it must prove that by doing so it protects him against concrete and imminent danger. This proof has never been provided. It has been replaced by propaganda presenting the child as a vector of the pandemic.”
Reichelt noted how moderate voices who attempted to offer calmer perspectives on the pandemic “were never invited to the expert table” and urged viewers “don’t believe this lie,” when encountering alarmist proclamations from the government.
Public school districts in Tennessee could lose millions of dollars of state funds and teachers could have their licenses suspended for teaching “prohibited concepts” related to critical race theory (CRT), according to a new rule proposed by Tennessee Department of Education.
The proposed rule is meant to help schools navigate the upcoming 2021–22 academic year, in the wake of a new state law that bans certain concepts from K-12 education programs. A draft of the rule is posted on the education department’s website for a 10-day public comment period, from Aug. 2 through Aug. 11.
Under the new law signed by Gov. Bill Lee, teachers in Tennessee are prohibited from telling students that an individual is inherently privileged, racist, sexist, or oppressive by virtue of their race or sex, or that anyone should feel discomfort or guilt because of their race or sex. The law also prohibits teaching denials to the nation’s founding ideals, such as “all Americans are not created equal,” or “the rule of law does not exist.”
Although the law does not specifically mention critical race theory, it was designed to target key elements of the Marxism-rooted ideology. Proponents of the CRT interpret society through the lens of a perceived racial struggle between white and non-white people, and argue that white supremacy has been deeply embedded in laws and institutions of the United States from the beginning.
If the new rule is approved, current Tennessee students, parents, and school employees will be able to file complaints within 30 days of the prohibited concepts being included or promoted in the classroom of their public school district or charter schools.
Schools found guilty of knowingly violating the anti-CRT law, according to the new rule, would be stripped of 2 percent of its annual state funds or $1 million, whichever is less, on the first offense. The penalty will grow to 10 percent of state funding or $5 million by the fifth violation. Teachers who violate the law could have their teaching licenses suspended or revoked.
Former President Donald Trump’s chance of reelection in 2024 “only happens” if Republicans regain control of Congress in next year’s midterm elections, Republican National Committee Chairman Ronna McDaniel said on Newsmax Tuesday.
“Everybody knows that 2024 only happens if we win 2022 because we just saw Democrats try and do a power grab on the elections,” said McDaniel on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America. “If we don’t succeed in taking back the House or the Senate in 2022, they will absolutely pass that, (legislation) which will make it very hard for any Republican to win in 2024 so.”
Trump has raised a record amount of money and is getting on the campaign trail, and he’s committed to making sure Republicans win in 2022, she added.
Her comments come after Mark Meadows, Trump’s former chief of staff, sparked excitement on Newsmax with his comments about the ex-president meeting with Cabinet members over the weekend at his Bedminster, N.J., resort.
Trump has hauled in more than $82 million in the first half of 2021 and has $102 million in the war chest from his political action committees, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
McDaniel said she’s not sure of the “mechanics” of how the PAC money could be spent, but noted Trump and the PAC have said they will get out and support midterm candidates to get them across the finish line.
That is “amazing,” she said, as the fundraising hauls show how popular Trump remains.
“I’ve never seen anything like that. It’s almost like its own political committee, and so he’s going to be instrumental and making sure we elect Republicans up and down the ticket with that amount of money that he’s raised.”
Tennessee Schools Violating Anti-CRT Law May Lose Millions in Funding Under New Rule
