BLM protester charged with hate crimes against Asian-American women

‘I wasn’t surprised to be completely honest,’ one victim said

A Black Lives Matter protester who demonstrated at Seattle’s CHOP autonomous zone last summer has been charged with hate crimes against Asian-American women, KOMO-TV reported.

Seattle police arrested Christopher Hamner last month for two alleged incidents of anti-Asian hate attacks, the station said.

Pamela Cole told KOMO that Hamner threatened her and her young children when she tried to drive past him.

“He just opens his door and starts yelling at me ‘F you, you Asian B! ‘F you’ kind of thing,” Cole recalled to the station. “And then he pulls in the parking lot and comes charging at us.”

Gen. Flynn Calls For Investigation Into SPARS ‘Pandemic Exercise’ (video)

In a recent interview, General Flynn encouraged listeners to watch Alex Jones’ 90-minute SPARS 2025-2028 pandemic breakdown and defended the credibility of Infowars’ research and analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The excerpt from his interview is presented here along with a boil down of the full presentation that links a 2017 pandemic ‘exercise’ to exact events that have occurred during the overhyped and synthetic COVID-19 health emergency used to roll out global medical tyranny.

George Floyd Apparently Yells ‘I Ate Too Many Drugs’ In Arrest Audio (video)

Derek Chauvin defense attorney Eric Nelson on Wednesday suggested in court that George Floyd could be heard saying he “ate too many drugs” in audio recorded during his arrest last year.



Nelson made the claim while he was questioning Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Jody Stiger, a use-of-force expert brought in by prosecution, during cross-examination.

“I’d like you to see if you could tell me what Mr. Floyd says in this instance,” Nelson said before playing a clip from body camera footage captured of Chauvin restraining Floyd during the May 2020 arrest that preceded his death.

It is difficult to discern what is said in the clip.

“Did you hear what he said?” Nelson then asked Stiger. 

“No, I couldn’t make it out,” Stiger responded.

“Does it sound like he says, ‘I ate too many drugs,’ ” Nelson asked before again playing the footage. “Listen again.”

Stiger again stated that he could not “make that out.”

‘We’re Set’ — Joe Biden Breaks Social Distancing Guidelines at Vaccine Center

President Joe Biden offered a glimpse into his thinking Tuesday on Americans mingling during the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden commented during a visit to a vaccination site in Virginia to promote Americans getting the vaccine.

During his conversation with one woman, Biden leaned toward her and told her to keep practicing the CDC guidance during the pandemic.

“Keep wearing the mask, wash the hands, and socially distance, which I’m not doing,” he said as people around him laughed. “I’m going to get in trouble here.”

“Is this your second shot?” Biden asked the woman.

The woman told him that it was.

“Oh we’re set,” Biden replied. “I’ve had two as well.”

The CDC currently recommends that Americans continue wearing masks, remain six feet apart, and avoid crowds, even after they have been vaccinated.

Pennsylvania Forced to Remove 21,000 Dead People Off Its Voter Rolls: Settlement

The state of Pennsylvania removed more than 20,000 deceased voters from the voter rolls after a lawsuit that was settled by the Public Interest Legal Foundation, according to an announcement from a public interest group that said it reached a settlement with Pennsylvania state officials this week.

The lawsuit (pdf) was filed in November and alleged that some 21,000 dead people were still on the state’s voter rolls during the 2020 presidential election. Pennsylvania agreed to compare its voter-registration database with the Social Security Death Index before removing the names from the rolls.

“This marks an important victory for the integrity of elections in Pennsylvania,” Public Interest Legal Foundation President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams said in a statement in announcing the court’s decision. “The Commonwealth’s failure to remove deceased registrants created a vast opportunity for voter fraud and abuse. It is important to not have dead voters active on the rolls for 5, 10, or even 20 years. This settlement fixes that.”

The lawsuit was filed after the Nov. 3 election and when then-candidate Joe Biden took a lead over President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. Ultimately, the Pennsylvania Secretary of Commonwealth’s office certified the election.

Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Site Shut Down After 11 People Suffer Reactions, 2 Hospitalized

A mass vaccination site in Colorado was shut down and 600 people with appointments turned away after 11 people experienced reactions, but state officials say side effects were “consistent with what’s expected.”

More than 600 people with appointments were turned away from a mass vaccination site in Commerce City, Colorado, after several vaccine recipients suffered adverse reactions to the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) one-shot COVID vaccine.

Centura Health, which helped run the community vaccination center at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, said in a statement posted to Twitter that 11 patients who received the vaccine experienced adverse reactions. Two people were transferred to the hospital after medical staff determined they required additional observation. Centura officials did not specify what reactions were observed or their severity.

U.S. jobless claims up to 744K as virus still forces layoffs

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits rose last week to 744,000, signaling that many employers are still cutting jobs even as more people are vaccinated against COVID-19, consumers gain confidence and the government distributes aid throughout the economy.

The Labor Department said Thursday that applications increased by 16,000 from 728,000 a week earlier. Jobless claims have declined sharply since the virus slammed into the economy in March of last year. But they remain high by historical standards: Before the pandemic erupted, weekly applications typically remained below 220,000 a week.

For the week ending March 27, 3.7 million people were receiving traditional state unemployment benefits, the government said. If you include supplemental federal programs that were established last year to help the unemployed endure the health crisis, a total of 18.2 million are receiving some form of jobless aid the week of March 20.

Economists monitor weekly jobless claims for early signs of where the job market is headed. Applications are usually a proxy for layoffs: They typically decline as the economy improves. Or they rise as employers retrench in response to sluggish consumer demand.

The Agenda of Black Lives Matter Is Far Different From the Slogan

  • Visit the Black Lives Matter website, and the first frame you get is a large crowd with fists raised and the slogan “Now We Transform.”
  • This agenda isn’t what most people signed up for when they bought their Spanx or registered for Airbnb.
  • The goals of the Black Lives Matter organization go far beyond what most people think.

Many see the slogan Black Lives Matter as a plea to secure the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all Americans, especially historically wronged African Americans. They add the BLM hashtag to their social-media profiles, carry BLM signs at protests, and make financial donations.

Tragically, when they do donate, they are likely to bankroll a number of radical organizations, founded by committed Marxists whose goals aren’t to make the American Dream a reality for everyone—but to transform America completely.

This might be unknown to some of the world’s best-known companies, which have jumped on the BLM bandwagon. Brands like Airbnb and Spanx have promised direct donations.

True, others like Nike and Netflix have shrewdly channeled their donations elsewhere, like the NAACP and other organizations that have led the struggle for civil rights for decades. These companies are likely aware of BLM’s ­extreme agenda and recoil from bankrolling destructive ideas. But it requires sleuthing to learn this.

CDC Director Finally Stands Up for Kids in Statement on Schools Opening

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said schools nationwide should be able to reopen for in-class learning in September — even if all children and teachers are not vaccinated.

“We should anticipate, come September 2021, that schools should be full-fledged in person and all of our children back in the classroom,” she said Wednesday during an Instagram Live chat with ABC News.

Walensky underscored that vaccinating children is not a prerequisite to reopening schools, while teachers can get vaccinated if they want.

“We can vaccinate teachers. We can test. There’s so much we can do,” she said.

This makes sense since numerous scientific studies have confirmed that children are at minuscule risk of either spreading or contracting COVID-19.

Airline Announces It Will Prioritize Racial Quotas Over Qualifications in Pilot Hiring

Nervous flyers have more cause to be anxious after United Airlines announced on Tuesday that it will seek to ensure half of its pilots are women or minorities in the coming years.

That’s not to assume that women and minorities cannot become pilots, or great ones at that. But it is beyond troubling that race and gender, and not skill only, will become criteria for hiring pilots.

In a job where a person is tasked with controlling a large airborne metal object loaded with people that wants by the nature of physics to come down, you’d think a company would want a person controlling it who is most qualified to defy gravity — whoever that person might be.

But corporate America, as we’ve seen in recent weeks and months, has embraced the “woke” politics of the American left.

Companies including United Airlines are now mouthpieces for the Democratic Party and its absurd strawman argument about election integrity and alleged racism. United on Monday lashed out at the state of Georgia for passing sensible election reforms such as requiring IDs for voters.
