In other news

In other news

In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there are important, interesting or just plain weird things happening out there and a group of people can find these better than one.

I thought I would test with a thread for linking general news articles about "other news" and discussion. Perhaps it goes into the abyss that is page 2 and beyond, but it is worth a try.

Some guidelines:
- Try to find the "clean link", so that links to the news site directly and not a social media site. Avoid "amp-links" (google).
- Write some cliff notes on what it is about, especially if it is a video.
- It's not an excuse to make outlandish claims via proxy or link extremist content.
- If it's an editorial or opinion piece, it is polite to mark it as such.
- Note the language if it is not in English.
- There is no demand that such things be posted here, if you think a piece merits its own thread, then make one.

Damn trump's already up to 5 plane crashes? That was quick.

It must be the policies that have been in place for years that's the culprit, and not the sweeping changes he made that all the crashes have happened since.

It's incredible how hard you fail at understanding basic things.

Gets caught with hand in cookie jar, claims it was a joke. Gotcha.


Jailed for praying under the Biden regime but Trump's the fascist.


Here, I'll help. She wasn't arrested for praying, liar. This took 2 seconds.

"U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “Bevelyn Beatty Williams repeatedly intimidated and interfered with individuals seeking and providing critical reproductive health services. She did so by physically blocking access to clinics, threatening staff, and by force."

According to evidence admitted at trial and other public filings and statements made in Court:

On June 19, 2020, and June 20, 2020, WILLIAMS threatened and used force against patients and staff members at a reproductive health center located in lower Manhattan (the “Health Center”😉 and blocked patients and staff members from accessing the Health Center. In one instance, and as captured on video, WILLIAMS pressed her body against the door of the Health Center’s patient entrance and refused to move, preventing a Health Center volunteer from entering the Health Center. As a Health Center staff member (“Victim-1”😉 attempted to open the door for the volunteer, WILLIAMS purposefully leaned against the door, crushing Victim-1’s hand. Victim-1 yelled, “She’s crushing my hand,” but WILLIAMS remained against the door, trapping Victim-1’s hand and injuring it.

At various times on June 19 and 20, 2020, WILLIAMS stood directly in front of the Health Center entrances. WILLIAMS initially blocked the main entrance used by patients, causing the Health Center to have to divert patients to enter through the staff entrance. WILLIAMS responded by moving to block the staff entrance and directing others to do the same.

WILLIAMS livestreamed some of her conduct on June 19 and 20, 2020, on a social media account. On the livestream on June 19, 2020, WILLIAMS stood within inches of the Health Center’s chief administrative officer and threatened to “terrorize this place” and warned that “we’re gonna terrorize you so good, your business is gonna be over mama.” Similarly, WILLIAMS stood within inches of a Health Center security officer and threatened “war.” WILLIAMS also stated that she would act by “any means necessary.”

In addition to WILLIAMS’s conduct in Manhattan, on multiple other occasions from at least 2019 to 2022, WILLIAMS and others intimidated and interfered with individuals seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health services at other health clinics across the country, including in Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, and Brooklyn, New York. For example, in January 2022, WILLIAMS travelled to a health center in Fort Myers, Florida, where she directed other individuals to block health center entrances. As a result of the blockade, medical staff was delayed in treating at least a dozen patients, three of whom were scheduled for time-sensitive procedures that could have resulted in bleeding, infection, or significant pain without timely treatment. In addition, in July 2022, WILLIAMS invaded a health center in Atlanta, Georgia, where she screamed through the door at patients attempting to enter the facility until they were forced to leave. Among other things, WILLIAMS shouted that she’d go to jail before letting patients enter the facility for an abortion and that she was “not afraid to get arrested.”

If she ever wants to engage in activism like this again she should wear a Keffiyeh and burn an Israeli flag, and she will have carte blanche to intimidate and harass whoever she wants. Lesson learned.

Well at least she would make her right to free speech , not to harass people in obstructing or preventing people to have access to healthcare and the like by blocking the entrance or whatever else….

U don’t see a distinction?
If so why you bring this up ?

MAGA is not based on believing things with no evidence, as this takes imagination. Imagination is dangerous. It is based on believing things with minimal evidence, as this takes being gullible. Gullibility is good.

And yes, I'm splitting hairs because I know "no evidence" in everyday parlance can also mean "minimal evidence" or "very poor evidence".

If you define "minimal evidence" to include situations in which Trump simply asserts that something is the case without offering any proof other than his word, then I guess I agree. But that's a thin form of "evidence."

My point is the previous regime(s) definitely played favorites when it came to what kind of activism is and isn't allowed. That being said, Trump isn't interested in bringing impartiality to the system. He just wants to "punish his enemies and reward his allies" and appease his base.

In a vacuum I dont even mind how the govt dealt with Jan 6th and pro life activists. But it is disturbing given the wide latitude given to BLM and anti-Israel activists.


Barak (O'Banana) Obama Document conclusion...

Wow, the fact they are reporting this is unreal.

Obama’s fraudulent Birth Certificate being exposed to the world.


Lol they're showing the same video at 51:00 that I posted on here. It was clear as day to see if was fake. He was an installed puppet for the DS which Trump knew, but only backed off from being a "birther" because people's lives were in jeopardy (as per Trump).


What does "(O'Banana)" mean?

What does "(O'Banana)" mean?

That's big mike's nick name.


by Playbig2000 k

That's big mike's nick name.

OK, but what does it mean? And who is "big mike?" The tweet used it to refer to Barack Obama (without knowing how to spell his name, shocker), so I think it is referring to him, not someone named "big mike."

I was in Canada for a lot of Obama's presidency. Did I miss a scandal involving a banana? I'm intrigued.
