Censorship: The Dark Heart Of The Democratic Party

Make no mistake about this: Democrats demanding the “deplatforming” of Alex Jones and others whose opinions they don’t like is the 21st century equivalent of pressuring papermakers to stop selling newsprint to newspapers that criticize the King. A political party making such demands is unprecedented in American politics and public life and it gives voters who are paying attention a deep look into the dark, totalitarian heart of the new “progressive” Democratic Party.

Prosecutors now say that in 2017, Collins passed inside information to his son, Cameron, who passed it to another alleged conspirator, Stephen Zarsky, the father of Cameron Collins' fiancee. The three — who all face charges of securities fraud, wire fraud and making false statements to the FBI — and other family and friends avoided about $768,000 in losses as a result of the inside information, prosecutors allege.

According to the indictment, the alleged conspiracy began on June 22, 2017, while Collins was attending the White House's Congressional picnic. He received an email from Innate's CEO alerting him that the company's highly touted drug had failed in clinical trials. He replied, "Wow. Makes no sense. How are these results even possible???"

Prosecutors say Collins then alerted his son, Cameron, to the results but didn't trade shares himself, in part because he was already under investigation for his relationship with Innate by the Office of Congressional Ethics. Though Collins couldn't trade his own stock, prosecutors say he tipped off his son in order to help him avoid losses. His son, in turn, told other associates, who sold stock in Innate as well. The drug test results were made public on June 26, 2017.

Recent swamp notes:

That, of course, verges on the very funny given that evidence has also been presented that Manafort himself had at least one affair while married.

And that somehow changes the fact that the top 1% cleaned up during his [Obama's] time in office?

He [Obama] attacked the Cambridge police, he said Trayvon could have been his son, and said nothing about the phony "hands up, don't shoot" bullshit. He watched Ferguson burn, and then weaponized his DOJ to discredit that police dept.

The United States will impose sanctions on Russia for its use of a nerve agent in an attempt to kill a former Russian spy and his daughter in Britain.

The state department says Wednesday the sanctions will be imposed on Russia because it used a chemical weapon in violation of international law.

The Trump administration said Wednesday it would impose new sanctions against Russia as punishment for its use of a nerve agent in an attempt last March to assassinate British citizen and ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter.

A terse release from the State Department said that the United States had determined Russian responsibility for the attack in Salisbury, England — a British conclusion the administration had already accepted — under a 1991 U.S. law on biological and chemical weapons use that requires the president to impose sanctions.

It appears that Republican voter suppression in Michigan's 1st Congressional District has failed in an historic way! By using a technicality, the Republicans on the election commission kicked the lone Democratic candidate off the ballot. So thousands of us mobilized and not only set a RECORD turnout for a midterm election, we got over 30,000 write-in votes for our Democratic candidate, Matt Morgan! This has never happened before! LONG lines of voters—so many voters that, even though Trump had won this district with 56% of the vote. Dem voters yesterday outnumbered Republicans in this area 2 to 1! And here’s one more indication of how we may win in Nov: In Marquette Co., our write-in Dem candidate got MORE votes as a write-in than the incumbent Republican candidate got with his name on the ballot! Let’s everyone up here in northern Michigan sign up to help the Matt Morgan campaign and toss our Trump-Lovin’ congressman out of office! Matt Morgan stands for Medicare for All.

According to Morgan's campaign, unofficial vote counts from 20 counties in the 32-county district indicate there were 20,000-plus write-in votes cast in the Democratic race for Congress. Morgan is the only candidate running as a write-in. Grand Traverse County alone had well over 7,000 write-in votes cast for a Democrat in Michigan’s 1st Congressional District. In 2014, zero write-in votes were cast in Grand Traverse County in that race.

In a formula set by the State of Michigan, Morgan must receive at least five percent of the total ballots cast in the race with the most votes in the Democratic primary in Michigan’s 1st. For example, if this year’s gubernatorial race had 100,000 votes cast (which would be up 30-plus percent from historic midterm primary averages), the threshold for Morgan to make the general election ballot would be 5,000.

With 96 percent of votes counted, former state Rep. Rashida Tlaib appeared headed for a victory over Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones Wednesday morning in a tight race to replace former U.S. Rep. John Conyers.

In a Democratic primary considered all-but-decisive in Michigan's 13th Congressional District, Tlaib led with 33.2 percent of the vote, compared with 29.2 percent for Jones and 14 percent for Bill Wild.

Coleman Young II was in fourth place with 12 percent, followed by Ian Conyers, the grand-nephew of the former congressman, with 6.3 percent and Shanelle Jackson with 5.3 percent.

If declared the primary winner, Tlaib, a former state representative of Palestinian descent who has been a hero in the progressive movement, could become the first Muslim woman elected to Congress.

The winner is likely to face Republican David Dudenhoefer, who didn't make that party's ballot but who was running as a write-in candidate.

Canada to chronically ill man: How about a little euthanasia instead of home care?

What happens when government-run health care and a cultural embrace of euthanasia meet? Just ask Roger Foley, a Canadian man with a debilitating chronic neurological disease. After being hospitalized with cerebellar ataxia for a lengthy period, Foley wanted to arrange for home care so he could live in his own place — care that should be covered under Canada’s government-run system. Instead, in at least two conversations recorded by Foley, officials pressed him to choose assisted suicide, as CTV reported last week:
