Joe Rogan Admits 2020 Election Was ‘Rigged’ By Media

(Headline USA) Podcast host Joe Rogan said this week that he believes the 2020 presidential election was “rigged” by the corporate media, which heavily favored President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump.

During a July 4 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the popular UFC commentator discussed the election with comedian Tom Segura. They referred to controversial remarks recently made by Roseanne Barr on Theo Von’s recent This Past Weekend podcast that caused it to get taken down from YouTube.

Barr had questioned how Biden won fairly with “the most votes of any presidential candidate in history,” while also winning a record-low number of counties.

Rogan said he is not convinced that voting machines and absentee ballots were rigged in Biden’s favor, but he did admit that some level of fraud is a certainty in every election.

“I don’t know if there was some shenanigans with the election. I guarantee you it wasn’t zero percent,” said Rogan. “How much voter fraud was there? It’s never zero.”

Rogan also cited a recent security assessment of Georgia’s Dominion voting machines, which found “dangerous vulnerabilities” with the machines’ software.

Still, Rogan argued that it is less likely the election was steered one way or the other by rogue actors, and more likely that it was “for sure rigged by the media.”

“Just the Hunter Biden laptop case and the Russia collusion case — just those two things, just those two narratives that they knew were not true, that they pushed out in front of everybody and that we know … had to do with trying to get rid of Trump,” he explained.

The media intentionally manipulated the “public narrative” to steer voters away from Trump, Rogan continued.

“That is, in many ways … that’s manipulation. It’s manipulation of what the people think is real and not real,” said Rogan. “Everybody thought he was in collusion with Russia. It’s what everybody thought.”

Illegal Alien on Terror Watch List Was Released into the U.S.

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) An illegal immigrant who was on the terrorist watchlist was released into the U.S. by the Department of Homeland Security, in large part because of an overwhelming backlog of immigrants combined with multiple errors by officials.

Customs and Border Protection made multiple mistakes when they apprehended the illegal in the Yuma, Ariz., sector of the U.S. southern border in April 2022, according to the Daily Wire.

“U.S. Customs and Border Protection apprehended and subsequently released a migrant without providing information requested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Terrorist Screening Center [TSC] that would have confirmed the migrant was a positive match with the Terrorist Screening Data Set [Terrorist Watchlist],” the report stated.

“This occurred because CBP’s ineffective practices and processes for resolving inconclusive matches with the Terrorist Watchlist led to multiple mistakes.”

On Apr. 17, 2022, the Border Patrol apprehended a migrant and family members. The report used “their” and “them” pronouns to conceal the illegal’s biological sex, the agency said.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement moved to apprehend the individual after the release, when the criminal’s presence on the watchlist was discovered on Apr. 21, 2022. The ICE office in Tampa, Fla., stated that “the migrant could pose a national security risk.”

However, the illegal wasn’t arrested until May 6 because of bureaucracy and miscommunication, which prompted the DHS inspector general to recommend that Border Patrol implement a better system to identify individuals on the terrorist watchlist and for better information-sharing practices for ICE.

The agents in the Yuma sector said that one of the reasons why the illegal was originally released was that agents were busy processing “an increased flow of migrants.”

“CPC agents explained that the Yuma CPC was over capacity following an increase in apprehensions, which created pressure to quickly process migrants and decreased the time available to review each file,” the report stated.

DHS listened to the report’s recommendations and stated that it would clean up its system.

Michigan College Using Federal Funds to Launch a Program Addressing Racism, ‘Transphobia’

(Headline USA) A Michigan college is using federal funds to launch a program addressing “systemic racism” and “transphobia,” according to the College Fix.

Siena Heights University, a private Catholic school in Adrian, Mich., plans to launch a “Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion” program this fall. It is being funded by a $34,905 planning grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to “design a new, coherent D&I certificate program … that is qualitatively distinct from the D&I certificates offered at other institutions,” records show.

Students who enroll in the program will receive a D&I certificate after completing 12 credit hours of training on issues including “racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia,” according to the university course catalog.

Students will also “be placed at an external organization in their field to work with an on-site supervisor for approximately 10 weeks to identify and address one or more organizational issues related to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion,” said professor Leland Harper, who is running the program.

“[The course] allows our students to put theory into practice and gain real hands-on experience applying their knowledge in the workplace,” Harper added.

Harper argued Siena’s program is the “bare minimum” of what universities should be doing to push students into DEI ideology.

“We should not just be trying to comply, and there is more that needs to be said about how and why we can foster ideas of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in our society,” he argued. “Simply put, the education programs that are out there, by and large, weren’t doing a good enough job of providing learners with the information they need.”

Harper also runs a private consulting firm, Leland Harper Consulting, that provides “diversity, equity and inclusion solutions for the modern hospitality industry.”

Earlier this month, Harper’s firm announced it had partnered with Siena Heights to offer “implicit bias training” for nursing professionals and students.

Democrats Beginning to Call for Biden to Face ‘Heavyweight’ Primary Challenge

(Headline USA) Even Democrats are admitting that President Joe Biden may not be up for the task of reelection.

Politico senior political writer Jack Schafer wrote an article this week calling for Biden to face a “strong” primary challenge, in part to toughen up Biden and “prepare us” in case he’s “seriously injured” or just “dies one evening.”

“Besides putting him in fighting trim (or not), primary adversaries would prepare us for the all too real possibility that he’s incapacitated by a stroke, seriously injured in one of his frequent falls or another bike crash, or just dies one evening. It’s not impolite or unkind to plan for the sudden departure of any employee,” Shafer wrote. 

Predictably, Schafer suggested the ideal primary challenger would be California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Another option is Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Schafer added.

“Both Newsom and Buttigieg are going to run in 2028 anyway, so why not get going now? They would be doing him a favor by toughening him up,” he wrote. 

Schafer admitted that Biden’s mental decline is becoming more and more obvious.

“President Joe Biden needs a tuneup. He’s a stiff when speaking at the lectern. When not a stiff, the 80-year-old can be a dolt, saying, as he did this week, that Russian President Vladimir Putin is ‘losing the war in Iraq’ when he meant Ukraine, or blurting out a senseless, ‘God save the Queen, man,’ at a gun control rally last week,” Schafer wrote.

The Politico writer also criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for being inept.

“If Kamala Harris had convinced the country that she could step into Biden’s shoes should he suddenly step out of them, the argument for a primary challenge wouldn’t be so urgent,” he wrote. “But when was the last time somebody you trust told you Harris could easily fill those shoes, let alone sprint to the nomination if the hereafter called Biden home before November 2024?” 

Ex Wikileaks Volunteer Says FBI is Seeking Journos to Rat on Julian Assange

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Journalist James Ball wrote in Rolling Stone Wednesday that Biden’s Justice Department and the FBI are pursing “vague threats and pressure tactics” to pressure British journalists to cooperate with their prosecution of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

“I know because I am one of the British journalists being pressured to cooperate in the case against him, as someone who used to (briefly) work and live with him, and who went on to blow the whistle on WikiLeaks’ own ethical lapses,” Ball said.

Assange was charged under the Espionage Act about three years ago for publishing classified information about U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. He’s currently incarcerated in the UK as the DOJ tries to extradite him to America, and while the FBI is reportedly investigating him to possibly bring more charges.

To that end, Ball said the U.S. government’s first approached him in December 2021 about Assange’s relationship with a man called Israel Shamir, whom Ball has written about extensively.

Ball accused Shamir of being a “frequent apologist for Vladimir Putin and his allies,” and said he had access to many of the U.S. state cables later published by Wikileaks. But Ball did not disclose that to the U.S. government when approached, he said. Instead, he remained silent.

“On legal advice, I had stayed quiet about these attempts at the time,” he said. “But now more journalists have told me that police have turned up on their doorsteps, too, in the last month.”

According to Ball, those approached include former Guardian investigations editor David Leigh, transparency campaigner Heather Brooke and the writer Andrew O’Hagan.

As far as pressure tactics go, Ball said his lawyer met with London law enforcement, who accused Ball of living under an assumed name.

“Obviously, we’re working very closely with the Americans on all of this, and the three-letter-agencies [shorthand for the FBI/CIA/NSA etc.], and we’ve got a lot of information at our disposal,” the London police officer told Ball’s attorney. “We thought your client should know that we know ‘James Ball’ doesn’t exist I’m sure there are all sorts of possible legitimate reasons an investigative journalist would use an assumed identity, but it might be helpful for him to be aware we know this.”

Ball said this accusation made him laugh.

“Did the FBI think they had something on me relating to a secret identity?” he wrote on Wednesday.

Ball’s disclosure comes on the heels of an Australian-based reporter making similar claims. The Sydney Morning Herald reported Thursday that the FBI sought to interview novelist Andrew O’Hagan about his time working as a ghostwriter on Assange’s autobiography over a decade ago.

Neither O’Hagan, Ball or any of the other journalists have agreed to cooperate, according to Ball.

Did White House Spox Just Hint That Hunter Was Trying to Deal Dime Bag?

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) While attempting to deflect a question on the growing Cocaine-gate scandal, a White House spokesperson may inadvertently have acknowledged that a member of the Biden family—presumably the president’s son, Hunter—was intending to deal the recently discovered dime bag.

Deputy press secretary Andrew Bates suggested that he was unable to address a question about the scandal because doing so would be a potential conflict of interests.

“I don’t have a response to that because we have to be careful about the Hatch Act,” he said.

The act prevents many civil-service officials in the Executive Branch, with the exception of the president and vice president, from engaging in partisan political activity.

However, it also has been construed, in some cases, as preventing them from issuing commercial endorsements where conflicts of interest may be involved.

In 2020, for example, leftist media outlets accused Ivanka Trump—the daughter of former President Donald Trump, then acting as an adviser to the president—of violating the act for posing on Twitter with a can of delicious Goya beans.

“It would be hard for Ivanka Trump to argue that her post was in a personal capacity now,” said Jordan Libowitz, communications director for the far-left activist group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, in a statement following the Goya episode, according to CNN.

“As for President Trump, unlike those who work for him, the President is exempted from many of the laws and rules we count on to enforce ethics in government,” Libowitz groused. “This administration has proved that to be a mistake.”

While the Left may still be stewing over the previous president, President Joe Biden’s administration has proven to be far more ethically challenged, despite his pledge to restore “decency” to the White House.

Even so, Twitter users were perplexed as to what conflict of interest Bates might have been referring to with respect to the cocaine reportedly found over the weekend in the West Wing.

If, in fact, the cocaine in question were part of a commercial enterprise, Hunter Biden would be the most likely culprit—as, indeed, he already is based on process of elimination, given his long and troubled history of drug abuse.

While it is unclear whether the 53-year-old has sold drugs before, it would not be far outside of his skill set, which includes influence-peddling and art sales, both involving equally nebulous financial transactions.

As for Bates’s endorsement of the business, that may not be of great concern in his current position. A violation of the Hatch Act might, in fact, be a means of career advancement.

Current press secretary Karine Jean–Pierre and her predecessor, Jen Psaki, both stand accused of egregious breaches of the act during their respective tenures at the podium. However, neither has been held accountable, to date, for their ethical lapses.

Other Biden officials alleged to have violated it with impunity include former chief of staff Ron Klain, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge.

“The Hatch Act was a law used to pillory previous administrations but officials now appear content to sweep it under the rug,” said Michael Chamberlain, a former Trump official who now works for the watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust.

Communists Burn American Flag in Philly on July 4

(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) Far-left activists with the Revolutionary Communist Party burned the American flag in Philadelphia on Independence Day under the banner of “America is Nothing to Celebrate.”

The group gathered outside Independence Hall, the historic site where the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, marking the beginning of the United States’s fight for liberty.

Chaos erupted as the six extremists descended on the Celebration of Freedom event with bullhorns and hate,Town Hall reported.

The communists locked hands, and one person pulled out an American flag and set it on fire. They then mocked attendees, saying, “Come join a real revolution!”

The communist group said on its website before the event it demanded the “ABOLITION of this system and its Constitution” and that the current democratic republic “be DISMANTLED and REPLACED by a new, socialist system based on the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic.”

Although police officers briefly detained the communist group for their actions, they were ultimately let go due to a Supreme Court ruling in the controversial Texas v. Johnson case in 1989, which declared flag burning as an acceptable form of protest.

Despite the legal protections for burning America’s flag, a New York woman was arrested and charged with multiple hate crimes in February for setting fire to a rainbow LGBT “pride” flag.

Meanwhile, the communist group was not the only one to show disrespect toward the country on Independence Day.

“Squad” member and race-baiter Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., made false claims about slavery and America’s Founding Fathers while calling for reparations to be paid to black people.

According to the Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History, of the 55 who attended the Constitutional Convention of 1787, 25 delegates were slave-owners.

The founders punished Southern states for wanting to keep slaves through the 3/5ths clause and the eventual ban on the importation of slaves.

Moreover, Northern founders took steps to immediately ban slavery and emancipate slaves in the Northwest territories.

No American citizen living today legally owned or was a slave after the 13th Amendment banned the practice following the Civil War in 1865.

Watchdog: Biden Officials Trying to ‘Rig’ AI, Make It More Woke

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Just days after getting reprimanded by a federal court for colluding with social media companies to restrict conservatives’ freedom of speech, President Joe Biden and his administration have decided to rig artificial intelligence to make it woke as well, Fox News reported.

In an October “Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights” released by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the White House warned that “algorithmic discrimination” could undermine the nation’s long efforts to promote diversity, equity and inclusion.

The plan also suggests “proactive equity assessments as part of the system design,” among other steps in the promotion of “data equity.”

Among the members of Biden’s National Science and Technology Council is Vice President Kamala Harris, who Biden has called an “AI czar.”

In 2019, while still a Senator, Harris warned about the dangers of “racial bias” in AI: “unlike the racial bias that you can pretty easily [detect] when you get stopped in a department store or while you’re driving, the bias that is built into technology will not be very easy to detect.”

Further, Biden also signed an executive order in February, arguing that the government should aid the technology industry in its efforts to “root out bias in the design and use of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence.”

According to the American Accountability Foundation’s Tom Jones, the left’s plans to introduce affirmative action and woke ideology into technology are blatant and must be halted.

“Under the guise of fighting ‘algorithmic discrimination’ and ‘harmful bias,’ the Biden administration is trying to rig AI to follow the woke left’s rules,” Jones said.

In Jones’s view, the policy has been worked out “not by scientists, but by racially obsessed social academics and activists.”

He also warned that what we have seen happen with Google, Facebook and Twitter, could just as easily happen with artificial intelligence.

“We’re already seen the biggest tech firms in the world, like Google under Eric Schmidt, use their power to push the left’s agenda. This would take the tech/woke alliance to a whole new, truly terrifying level.”

CDC Altered Death Certificates to Remove COVID Vax as Cause

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention allegedly altered at least nine Minnesota death certificates that attributed the given death to the “COVID vaccine,” PJ Media reported.

The source, who wished to remain anonymous, sifted through all Minnesota death certificates since 2015, and discovered that the CDC made the alterations.

According to Aaron Hertzberg, who thoroughly researched the death certificate process, coroners list the cause of death (CoD), and the CDC can later adjust that cause based upon International Classification of Diseases (ICD).

“The critical thing to keep in mind is that the person filling out the death certificate writes a text description of the CoD’s, but doesn’t assign the ICD 10 codes for the CoD’s,” wrote Hertzberg.

The CDC’s job, in other words, is to apply the particular ICD 10 codes confirming the cause of death by putting it into the appropriate category.

According to the author, the ICD is determined by way of a “secret algorithm,” but there is “a tiny percentage of cases adjudicated by CDC staff when the algorithm is unable to confidently assign an ICD code.”

The CDC, however, neglected to perform its duty in several instances wherein coroners had cited the COVID vaccine as the cause of death.

“In almost every death certificate that identifies a covid vaccine as a cause of death,” Hertzberg concluded, “the CDC committed data fraud by not assigning the ICD 10 code for vaccine side effects to the causes of death listed on the death certificate.”

The experimental vaccines have allegedly caused numerous negative side-effects for many people.

For instance, professional basketball player Óscar Cabrera Adames, 28, who had previously voiced grave concerns about the vaccine, passed away last month after suffering a fatal heart attack.

Some have also speculated that actor Jamie Foxx, who has been hospitalized for many weeks with an undisclosed illness, has been sick due to the COVID vaccine.

Biden Alleged Bribery Witness Posts Damning Video from Undisclosed Location

(Robert Jonathan, Headline USA) The on-the-run purported whistleblower who claims he provided FBI and U.S. Department of Justice officials with inside information about alleged Biden family corruption has posted a potentially consequential video about the scandal.

Dr. Gal Luft was arrested in Cyprus in February on an Interpol warrant, but subsequently fled because he believed a fair trial in New York federal court was not possible.

“Instead of showing appreciation for my whistleblowing, I became public enemy number one,” he declared in the approximately 14-minute video, during which he raises numerous questions about this potentially politically motivated prosecution.

Luft, who described himself as “patient zero of the Biden family investigations,” claimed he, his family and friends/associates, were subject to harassment and intimidation prior to the DOJ-initiated Cyprus arrest.

 

Luft, a D.C.-based think tank co-director who lives mostly in Israel, insinuated that U.S. authorities sought his extradition on various charges in retaliation for providing the feds with damning information on the Biden clan’s alleged sketchy business dealings.

According to the New York Post, which obtained the video, Luft claims he was targeted in Cyprus “to stop him from testifying to the House Oversight Committee that the Biden family received payments from individuals with alleged ties to Chinese military intelligence.”

In March 2019, around the time that the Joe Biden presidential run surfaced, Luft said he met with a total of six DOJ and FBI officials, some of whom he identified by name, at the U.S. embassy in Brussels, Belgium.

“I saw it as my civic duty to alert the government” before Biden became an official candidate, he asserted, about allegations revolving around the CCP-controlled energy company CEFC and the Biden family.

Luft’s video message, which included a statement that he is not a political partisan, went on to explain that “I did it out of deep concern that if the Bidens were to come to power, the country would be facing the same traumatic Russia collusion scandal — only this time with China. Sadly, because of the DOJ’s cover-up, this is exactly what happened.”

Luft challenged the FBI to turn over the meeting notes to Congress.

CEFC allegedly funneled millions of dollars to Hunter Biden as part of a purported scheme to gain privileged access to the White House and American policymakers.

Luft claimed he provided authorities with details of various financial transactions, “including specific dollar figures.”

He also insisted that the slow-walked Hunter Biden laptop investigation subsequently “fully corroborated” the information that he presented to these officials.

The IRS whistleblower also bolsters Luft’s rendition of events, the video implied.

In what sounds like a James Bond storyline, Luft claimed that a mole nicknamed “one eye” exists or existed within the DOJ.

This mole allegedly “shared classified information with Hunter Biden and his Chinese partners.”

Among the charges that Luft faces, and all of which he denies, allege illegal weapons dealing.

“I never traded a bullet in my entire life,” Luft insisted.

“I, who volunteered to inform the U.S. government about a potential security breach and about compromising information about a man vying to be the next president, am now being hunted by the very same people who I informed — and may have to live on the run for the rest of my life,” Dr. Luft concluded.

“Who’s the real criminal in this story?,” he added, rhetorically.

Post investigative reporter Miranda Devine offered this insight to the context of the extraordinary video testimony.

“The House Oversight chairman, Republican James Comer, who was preparing to interview Luft before Luft disappeared, says the Israeli remains a ‘potential witness’ in the Biden family probe, despite his fugitive status.

“It remains to be seen whether Luft is the man who will bring down the Bidens, but he is not going quietly into the sunset. He is determined to tell the American public his version of the truth.”
