Beauty Influencer Dropped By Sephora for Being a Conservative Files Defamation Lawsuit

Beauty influencer Amanda Ensing has filed a defamation lawsuit against the makeup giant Sephora after they very publicly cut ties with her for being a Christian conservative in January.

The makeup shop responded to liberal activists who were outraged that they would dare to work with a Republican by saying that she “shared content on social media that is not aligned with Sephora’s values around inclusivity.”

Ensing posts family friendly beauty content mixed with some posts about her Christian conservative views — such as her support for the Second Amendment.

“Thank you for reaching out and bringing this to our attention. We were made aware that Amanda Ensing, an influencer contracted through one of our external vendors’ campaigns, recently shared content on social media that is not aligned with Sephora’s values around inclusivity. As soon as we were informed, we made the decision to cease all programming with Amanda and will not be engaging her for future partnerships,” Sephora wrote in a response to a social media activist.

Conservative women quickly rallied by her side and began boycotting Sephora — but Ensing was soon banned from Twitter as leftist activists seemed to mass reported her account to silence her. Prior to being banned, the smart and brave beauty had approximately 1.4 million subscribers on YouTube and 1.4 million followers on Instagram.

Now, iconic free speech lawyer John Pierce has taken up her case and filed a lawsuit against Sephora on Thursday evening in Nashville.

“Like many powerful multi-billion dollar corporations that are bowing to the whims of the woke mob, Sephora apparently thought that its bottom line was best served by destroying the life of a law-abiding American simply because she has conservative political views,” Pierce told the Gateway Pundit. “This type of corporate bullying is despicable and cuts against the grain of America’s long-tradition of free speech and respect for differing political opinions. Unfortunately for Sephora, this time they picked the wrong target.”

“Ms. Ensing is intent on exposing cancel culture for what it is — a poisonous cancer that is destroying the norms of free speech and the fabric of America. Sephora and its leadership will be help accountable for globally defaming her,” Pierce continued. “No matter how long and hard the fight, Ms. Ensing will make an example out of Sephora that will serve to deter other massive corporations from thinking they can simply steamroll individuals and destroying their lives for the sake of pandering to a leftist, woke and un-American mob.”

The complaint, obtained by the Gateway Pundit, says that Sephora “made false and defamatory statements online about Ms. Ensing, exposing her to public hatred, ridicule, and contempt, and costing Ms. Ensing her business and brand as a social media beauty influencer.”

Donald Trump Hammers ‘RINO Paul Ryan’ as a ‘Weak and Ineffective Leader’ for Republicans to Follow

Former President Donald Trump released a statement Friday morning targeting “RINO” Paul Ryan, the former “lame duck” Speaker of the House, for his “monumental” loss in 2012 and being “a weak and ineffective leader.”

The “RINO,” Trump said, had “lost all vote-getting capability with the people he represented in Wisconsin, and was the single biggest factor, other than Romney himself.”

He added this was the case for the “monumental Romney/Ryan loss in the Presidential race of 2012,” citing when the former president ran in 2020, he “got more votes by far,” adding it was 75 million, “than any sitting president in history!”

Trump continued to say the former speaker is “now speaking to other Republicans telling them how to win elections,” even though he lost.

“Interestingly, I was in the Great State of Wisconsin when they booed him off the podium—I literally had to come to his rescue,” he continued.

The former president observed, “Ryan should instead be telling them how to stop the cheating of elections and that we would have won if Republican leadership fought the way the Democrats did.”

New York Times exposes Biden’s plan to raise taxes on low- and middle-income Americans to pay for massive $6 trillion budget, breaking his repeated promises

President Joe Biden has repeatedly promised not to raise taxes on people making less than $400,000. It was a staple of his presidential campaign, and he continued to say it after being sworn in.

Most conservatives and honest observers didn’t believe him at the time. They saw his agenda, understood the price tag would be huge, and figured higher taxes for everyone would be inevitable. 

The New York Times revealed this week that skeptics were right to give his “no taxes” vow the side eye after it obtained Biden administration documents showing the president’s actual tax-and-spend plans.

What is the administration planning?

Less than two months into his first term, the president’s team already began changing the terms of Biden’s promise. No longer would his promise to not raise taxes apply to individuals making less than $400,000 — instead, the threshold would apply to families, CNBC reported.

Now, as the White House prepares to officially present its new budget, it appears that Biden’s promise is getting another revision.

The Times reported Thursday that the president’s massive new budget, which he will unveil Friday, “would take the United States to its highest sustained levels of federal spending since World War II.”

US Republicans Filibuster Bill on Creating Commission to Investigate 6 January Capitol Riot

Many Republican senators earlier spoke out against passing the bill, citing already existing committees probing those events and the need to “move forward” instead of focusing on past events.

US Senators have blocked consideration of a bill designed to create a bipartisan 10-member commission to investigate the events that took place in Washington on 6 January. Only 54 Senators supported the motion, with 35 objecting to it. However, it needs to gather the support of at least 60 members of the upper chamber of Congress to be passed.

A total of six Republicans supported the motion to consider the bill as well as all the Democrats present. However, many Senators were absent during the vote, including two Democrats. Prior to the voting, at least four GOP members mulled supporting the motion to consider the 6 January Commission Act. It was expected that all Democrats in the Senate will vote in favour of the bill, which had earlier passed the House with the support of practically all Democrats and several Republicans.

The GOP’s filibuster of the measure, a mechanism that prevents bills from moving forward to a vote without the support of at least 60 senators, was anticipated in light of Minority Leader Mitch McConnell opposing the initiative to form the commission and very few Republicans supporting it. McConnell argued that several congressional committees are already probing the events in addition to a federal investigation, which had already identified over 440 people responsible for the riot.

BLM Co-Founder Patrisse Cullors Resigns After Her $3M Housing Portfolio Was Revealed

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors is stepping down as executive director of the organization amid controversy over her $3 million property portfolio.  

Cullors, who has been at the helm of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation for nearly six years, announced the news on Thursday.  

The 37-year-old activist told The Associated Press that she is leaving to focus on other projects, including the upcoming release of her second book and a multi-year TV development deal with Warner Bros.

‘I’ve created the infrastructure and the support, and the necessary bones and foundation, so that I can leave,’ Cullors  stated. ‘It feels like the time is right.’

However, her departure comes after it was revealed last month that she has amassed a $3 million property portfolio, despite describing herself as a trained Marxist”. 

Cullors faced fierce backlash over revelations about her personal spending – including the recent purchase of a $1.4 million home in a ritzy L.A. neighborhood. 

It caused many to question what percentage of BLM donations were actually going towards social justice programs.

However, she insists her resignation has been in the works for more than a year and has nothing to do with the personal attacks she has faced. 

‘Those were right-wing attacks that tried to discredit my character, and I don’t operate off of what the right thinks about me,’ Cullors told the Associated Press. 

Last month, she described the criticism as ‘racist and sexist’ smears deliberately put out by the ‘right-wing media’. 

But it wasn’t just conservatives who pressed Cullors over her finances.

The head of New York City’s BLM chapter called for an independent investigation into the organization’s finances after revelations about the property portfolio surfaced. 

‘If you go around calling yourself a socialist, you have to ask how much of her own personal money is going to charitable causes,’ BLM organizer Hawk Newsome told The New York Post. 

‘It’s really sad because it makes people doubt the validity of the movement and overlook the fact that it’s the people that carry this movement.’  

 Meanwhile, it was also revealed that a jail reform activist group founded by Cullors  spent $26,000 for meetings and ‘appearances’ at a luxury Malibu resort.

Reform LA Jails paid $10,179 for ‘meetings and appearances’ at the Calamigos Guest Ranch and Beach Club, and a further $15,593 at the Malibu Conference Center, which is owned by the resort, between July and September 2019.  

A single night in a two-bedroom ‘cozy ranch chic’ suite in July costs $1,200, and guests at the 200-acre resort have access to a private five acre beach on the Malibu coast.

After the spending was revealed by the Daily Caller, former Fox host Megyn Kelly Tweeted: ‘BLM must stand for… Babes Lounging in Malibu? Big Loads of Money? Blatant Lies about Marxism?’ 

The BLM foundation revealed in February that it took in just over $90 million last year, following the May 2020 murder of George Floyd, a black man whose death had the hands of a white police officer inspired global protests. 

The foundation said it ended 2020 with a balance of more than $60 million, after spending nearly a quarter of its assets on operating expenses, grants to black-led organizations and other charitable giving.

Critics of the foundation contend more of that money should have gone to the families of black victims of police brutality who have been unable to access the resources needed to deal with their trauma and loss.

Cullors and the foundation have said they do support families without making public announcements or disclosing dollar amounts.

Joe Biden DID Meet With Son Hunter’s Business Interests

Report confirms Burisma exec thanked him for ‘opportunity to meet your father’

While Joe Biden was campaigning for president and scandals involving his son, Hunter, kept surfacing, he assured Americans, “I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses. Period.”

That’s despite a recent investigation by the Daily Wire that revealed Hunter Biden had his fingers in business pies in Saudi Arabia, Ivory Coast, Oman, Qatar, Taiwan, Zimbabwe, Greece and Mexico, in addition to his highly publicized business dealings in China and Ukraine while is father was vice president.

Further, Breitbart has reported he took 411 trips across 29 countries during the years his father was vice president, including 23 flights in or out of Joint Base Andrews, where Air Force Two is stationed.

Now the New York Post confirms that Joe Biden actually met with Ukrainian, Russian and Kazakhstani business associates of his son’s “at a dinner in Washington, D.C., while he was vice president.”

The report reveals that confirmation is from records on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop.

The report said the dinner was April 16, 2015, at the private “Garden Room” at Café Milano in Georgetown.

The day after, Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, sent Hunter Biden a noting thanking him for introducing him to his father, the Post documented.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together,” Pozharskyi wrote. “It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure.”

Most Christians Are Frauds, Chilling Study Suggests—Only 6% Live Out A Biblical Worldview

Although a majority of American adults identify as Christian, only six percent of Americans actually live out a biblical worldview, according to a shocking new study. Partially in response to this finding, the Family Research Council (FRC) is launching the Center for Biblical Worldview, directed by David Closson, in order to encourage Christians to live out their faith authentically. The Center will feature the work of veteran public opinion researcher George Barna and theologian Owen Strachan.

“Dutch theologian Abraham Kuyper once remarked that there is not one square inch over which Jesus Christ does not cry, ‘Mine!’ Kuyper’s point is that the lordship of Jesus extends to all aspects of reality and our lives,” Closson told PJ Media on Wednesday. “Unfortunately, this crucial insight has been largely forgotten today, even by many in our churches where we have a diminished understanding of Christ’s lordship.”

“But Paul is clear about the scope of Christ’s lordship; it includes everything. Colossians 1:16 says, ‘For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.’ This has implications how we think about our resources and material blessings,” Closson explained. “If all things exist and are sustained by Christ, they are His already.”

“I’m afraid we have lost the biblical concept of stewardship, which teaches that everything we have is a gift from God and is to be used for His glory,” the director lamented.

In coordination with the launch of the Center for Biblical Worldview, FRC commissioned a survey of 1,000 American adults. The survey found that while 51 percent of adults claim to have a biblical worldview, only six percent of them actually answered worldview questions in a manner consistent with the Bible. Only nine percent of those who identified themselves as Christians answered the questions correctly.

Closson provided five of the key worldview questions to PJ Media.

Researchers asked, “Which of the following do you consider to be the best indicator of a successful life?” Respondents chose from these options (biblical answer in bold):

-Fulfilling our potential through the application of our intellect and the scientific method

-Consistent obedience to God

-Experiencing the highest possible levels of consciousness and unity with the universe

-Experiencing personal happiness or freedom

-Living a healthy and productive life, without economic oppression

-Being a good person

Only 29 percent of respondents chose “consistent obedience to God” over fulfilling one’s potential, experiencing personal happiness, being a good person, and other options.

Natural News and other independent media outlets were RIGHT all along, as “mainstream” media suddenly admits to lab origins of covid-19

Natural News was one of the first publications in the world to report on the lab origins of SARS-CoV-2, even when the “mainstream” media conspired to downplay the possibility. For over a year, the agenda-driven “mainstream media” suppressed the lab leak theory and labeled it “conspiracy theory.” Now CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times and the rest of the mainstream liars are admitting to the lab origins of covid-19 and asking questions about gain-of-function coronavirus research.

Overnight, an “insane, unhinged conspiracy theory” that was censored from the internet and labeled “harmful disinformation” suddenly became a “serious and plausible possibility for which rational evidence exists.” Disgraced fact-checking organizations such as PolitiFact are now removing all evidence of their phony fact checks on the subject matter. After smearing and censoring independent journalists, the “fact checkers” are suddenly agreeing with Natural News and other real, investigative journalists. So where are the apologies?

The Washington Post claimed the lab theory was “misinformation” for over a year, but now says covid “accidentally” escaped a Chinese lab. Even the Huffington Post called the lab theory a “toxic conspiracy theory” a year ago – dismissing any investigative reporting on the issue. Was this coordinated suppression of information just denialism or were these disgraced media outlets covering for their criminal friends in government? An investigation should be conducted into the reasons why these media outlets suppressed information about coronavirus engineering, which took place for many years with the intent of designing new vaccines and surveillance testing for the viruses they were engineering.

Mainstream media is a tool to cover for the criminals who funded, approved and subverted moratoriums on gain-of-function research

From the start of the covid-19 scandal, the mainstream media was used as a tool of propaganda to cover for Dr. Anthony Fauci and lie about the government’s participation in unethical coronavirus gain-of-function engineering at the University of North Carolina, New York’s EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

Natural News, Info Wars, War Room: Pandemic and other independent media sources continued to publish investigative news reports on this serious subject matter, despite being censored, “fact-checked” and flagged for “covid-19 misinformation.” Facebook and Twitter removed any information on the lab leak and blocked the Chinese scientist who testified that COVID-19 was engineered in a lab. The mainstream media mocked the lab leak theory, even though the Trump Administration had obtained evidence of Wuhan virologists falling severely ill just before the Wuhan outbreak began. The Associated Press, NPR, and CNN were quick to mock President Trump when he revealed on May 1, 2020 that the administration had “a high degree of confidence” the virus escaped from a lab. Today these same mainstream media propagandists are trying to appear like they were out in front of the issue all along.

Department of Labor: Jobless claims drop to 406,000

Results better than economists had forecast.

The number of Americans filing new unemployment claims dropped to 406,000 last week as the economy continues to recover from the coronavirus pandemic, according to the Department of Labor.

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics figure released Thursday represented a decrease in the number of new jobless claims compared to the week ending May 15, when 444,000 new jobless claims were reported. Economists expected Thursday’s jobless claims number to come in at 425,000, The Wall Street Journal reported.

“I think there’s still a lot of pain out there, but the good news is that it really looks like the economy is kicking into overdrive, and I do see positive signs for the job market,” Beth Ann Bovino, S&P Global Ratings chief U.S. economist, told the WSJ.

Thursday’s figure represented the lowest level for initial jobless claims since March 14, 2020, when the Labor Department reported 256,000 new claims, according to the report.

Roughly 15.8 million Americans continue to collect unemployment benefits, according to the report.
