VIDEO: Steven Crowder Reenacts George Floyd Killing to Test ‘Knee on Neck’ Theory

  • Comedian did not, however, take three-and-a-half times the lethal amount of fentanyl.

Comedian Steven Crowder reenacted the death of George Floyd Wednesday, attempting to test the prosecution’s theory that a person’s knee on his back caused the death.

The prosecution’s case in the ongoing murder trial against former Officer Derrick Chauvin depends heavily on proving he knelt on Floyd’s neck hard enough to cause asphyxiation.

Crowder tested the theory live for a second time on his show Wednesday, this time having his producer kneel on his neck for 9 minutes on concrete instead of carpet.

“I don’t want to do this, but again the point is: the drugs, the agitation, the actively-resisting arrest, the three-and-a-half times of lethal fentanyl, matters,” Crowder explained.

“I don’t expect this to be pleasant, but I think people need to see what it’s like with the closest to controlled conditions that we can recreate, as far as body mass, weight, situation, to see what it actually might be like if someone is not in an agitated, significantly overdosed state.”

General Flynn Begins Endorsing America First Candidates, Starts With Gun-Toting Amanda Chase for Virginia Governor

Army Vet, Former Trump Official says Chase is the One to Take on Radical Left, Socialist Agenda

General Michael Flynn has announced his endorsement of Amanda Chase for Virginia Governor, throwing his support behind the America First conservative firebrand in a Parler post highlighting Chase’s fight against the radical left and their socialist agenda.

In a race chocked full of career politicians and establishment-backed candidates on both sides, Chase, a gun-toting State Senator often described as Virginia’s “Trump in Heels,” represents the grassroots, America First wing of the Republican base, and General Flynn let it be known in his “wholehearted” endorsement.

“I fully and wholeheartedly endorse Amanda Chase to be the next Governor of Virginia,” General Flynn wrote in the announcement post. “She is the strongest voice for VA’s small businesses, she is a leader and champion of our 2nd Amendment. Amanda is a strong advocate for the Pro-Life movement, for family values and she will fight against the socialist agenda denying our Liberty and Constitutional Freedoms,” the post continued.

Fans Are Tuning Out on Woke Sports

Viewership is down across the board — but still boardrooms aren’t listening.

Last Friday, after President Biden, left-wing activists, and the national media spent weeks peddling lies about Georgia’s new voting law disproportionately impacting people of color, Major League Baseball (MLB) commissioner Rob Manfred caved to the radical mob and decided to move this year’s All-Star Game out of Atlanta.

In the name of equality, Manfred’s decision will cost Atlanta, a city with a 50 percent black population, an estimated $100 million in economic losses. The game will now be held in Denver, Colorado, a city that is only 10 percent black. As nonsensical as Manfred’s decision was, no one should be surprised by it.

Over the past few years, it has been fairly obvious to any impartial observer that the higher echelons at MLB, along with those in charge at the National Football League (NFL) and the National Basketball Association (NBA), have made a conscious decision to alienate a large percentage of their fanbase by conceding more control of their sports to the demands of social justice warriors and the tyrannical Left.

“Silence in the face of injustice is unacceptable,” Sam Kennedy, the Red Sox President and CEO said last year in the wake of the George Floyd protests. In addition to now displaying “Black Lives Matter” on the bleacher seats and on the Green Monster at Fenway Park, Kennedy and the Red Sox have created a “Social Justice, Equity & Inclusion Advisory Committee” that seeks to conduct a “bias audit” of its HR policies, “enhanc[e] ballpark messaging related to racial and social justice causes,” and partner “with an organization with expertise in racial equity and restorative justice.” Many teams have taken similar actions.

World’s Poorest Nations Face ‘COVID-19 Debt Trap’

WASHINGTON—The world has averted a systemic debt crisis amid the pandemic. However, the poorest developing countries continue to face significant debt problems, raising global worries over multiplying debt traps by creditors like China.

Addressing the rising risk of a systemic debt crisis in developing countries is one of the key themes at this week’s virtual spring meeting of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.

Economists believe tackling debt vulnerabilities in poor nations is critical for preventing divergent recoveries around the world. Hence, IMF and World Bank officials are calling for extending debt relief for the most vulnerable countries, to help them address challenges caused by the pandemic.

“The poorer countries don’t have a way out of these very heavy debt burdens,” World Bank President David Malpass said during a press conference on April 7.

He said these countries face inequality in terms of access to credit markets and have growing fiscal deficits that are becoming problematic.

In addition, Malpass referred to China’s controversial lending practices without naming it and said opaque debt contracts and an unbalanced relationship between creditors and debtors complicate debt relief efforts.

PragerU launches ‘pro-America’ educational resources for kids

PragerU, a popular conservative group whose videos have garnered billions of views since its founding in 2011, announced the launch of its educational resources for children.

In an announcement emailed to supporters on Monday, Prager said nearly 10,000 educators and parents have already joined PragerU Resources for Educators and Parents.

“Our schools are teaching that America is not a land of plenty, but a nation of systemic oppression and inequality. Students learn half-truths or lies to make them feel ashamed of being American,” the website states.

“PragerU Resources for Educators & Parents is a community committed to teaching our youth about America’s blessings and limitless opportunities.”

PREP vows to provide “pro-America resources and educational content for students grades K-12,” an online discussion forum for families, virtual events for parents and their children, a quarterly newsletter, and a digital kids’ magazine.

Jill Simonian, PragerU’s director of outreach for PREP, said in a statement that the program has already “received an overwhelmingly positive response from parents, guardians and teachers around the country.”

DATA: Joe Biden Is Detaining 18,000 Minors. Trump’s Peak Number Was Just 2,600.

Under President Biden, nearly seven times as many unaccompanied minors are being detained by either Customs and Border Patrol or Health and Human Services as compared to the Trump administration.

A March 10th report from The Washington Post explains how “more than 8,500 migrant teens and children who crossed the border without their parents are being housed in Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)” and “nearly 3,500 more are stuck at Border Patrol stations waiting for beds in those shelters to open up.”

These numbers constitute “the highest figure ever, according to internal data reviewed by The Washington Post.”

In contrast, under the Trump administration, the largest number of unaccompanied minors being detained was roughly 2,600:

Held in grim steel-and-concrete cells built for adults, these young people are spending an average of 107 hours awaiting transfer to an HHS-run shelter, well over the 72-hour legal limit, the data shows. The largest number of unaccompanied minors held this way during the Trump administration was about 2,600 in June 2019, according to congressional testimony and two former Customs and Border Protection officials who were involved in handling that crisis.

That’s nearly five times as many unaccompanied children being held illegally under President Biden as compared to President Trump.

246 Vaccinated Michigan Residents Diagnosed With COVID, 3 Dead, State Health Dept. Confirms

The latest Michigan Department of Health and Human Services data include breakthrough cases reported between Jan. 1 and March 31.

As many as 246 Michigan residents fully vaccinated against COVID-19 were later diagnosed with the virus, and three of them died, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services confirmed Monday.

According to The Detroit News, 246 “breakthrough cases” were reported between Jan. 1 and March 31. All cases occurred in people who tested positive 14 or more days after the last dose in the vaccine series, said Lynn Sutfin, spokeswoman for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, in an email.

“Some of these individuals may ultimately be excluded from this list due to continuing to test positive from a recent infection prior to being fully vaccinated,” she said. But these “cases are undergoing further review to determine if they meet other [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] CDC criteria for determination of potential breakthrough, including the absence of a positive antigen or PCR test less than 45 days prior to the post-vaccination positive test.”

Sutfin said these persons were more likely to be asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, adding that hospitalization data were available for 117 of the cases, while 129 were incomplete.

Of the 117 with hospitalization data entered, 11 were hospitalized, 103 were not hospitalized and three are reported as unknown. The three people who died were all 65 or older and two “were within three weeks of completion of vaccination,” Sutfin said.

According to Dr. Nick Gilpin, Beaumont’s medical director for infection prevention, eight patients who had been “fully vaccinated” were being treated for COVID at Beaumont Health’s hospitals on Monday.

“While the majority of the population develops full immunity within 14 days of completion of their vaccine series, a small proportion appear to take longer to mount a full antibody response,” Sutfin explained. “The CDC is actively working to better understand the risk characteristics of this group.”

The New Catch Phrase, ‘Your Papers Please’

(KarenHardin.com) “Your papers please.” This may be the phrase spoken before we can board a plane, travel across state lines, receive medical help, and more if the current administration has their way.

It was the same phrase spoken, and accepted, during the days before the Holocaust.

April 8 is the Holocaust day of remembrance. It is a day that is often overlooked by Americans because it is something that didn’t affect most of us personally. Sadly, that same era is being ushered in by the Biden administration which will affect every American personally.

Are you ready for them to demand, “Your papers please!”

Many liberal universities in America and Britain teach students the Holocaust never happened. According to a 2019 poll, one in 20 people in Britain have bought that lie. According to Newsweek magazine, one-third of Americans have also bought the lie and don’t believe six million Jews were murdered during the holocaust.

Hitler would have been proud.

In his manifesto, “Mein Kampf,” he explained the propaganda technique and power of telling bold big lies. It is a technique which has been used effectively by the media and the Left today.

According to the manifesto, “The Big Lie works because the masses are easily manipulated in their emotions…they more readily fall victim to the big lie than the small lie since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.”

Trump supports new Pence effort to fuse conservatism with MAGA agenda

Is this the future?

Former Vice President Mike Pence has launched a new political advocacy group that seeks to fuse traditional conservative thought with the Make America Great Again agenda of former President Donald Trump’s administration.

The Washington Examiner reports the group will be a 501(c)(4) nonprofit called “Advancing American Freedom” and will defend the Trump-Pence record while attempting to build upon the political movement that put Trump into office, turning it into a winning coalition for the future. It will be headquartered in Washington, D.C., and will build a platform on the “three pillars” of American strength and security, American prosperity, and American liberty.

“Advancing American Freedom plans to build on the success of the last four years by promoting traditional conservative values and promoting the successful policies of the Trump administration,” Pence told the Examiner in a statement.

“Conservatives will not stand idly by as the radical left and the new administration attempt to threaten America’s standing as the greatest nation in the world with their destructive policies,” he said.
