BERNIE’S GULAG: Sanders Campaign Intimidates and Interrogates Campaign Staff, a Federal Complaint Alleges

By Shane Trejo

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who bills himself the socialist man of the people running for the Democratic nomination for President in 2020, has been hit with a federal labor complaintalleging that his campaign is engaging in abusive practices against its workers.

The complaint was made to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on July 19, filed by an anonymous individual from Indiana. The charges have not been made public at the present time, but the docket released by the board on July 22 indicates that the Sanders campaign may have committed as many as five violations of the National Labor Relations Act.

The NLRB will ultimately determine whether or not these allegations have any merit. The Sanders campaign is also accused in the complaint of illegally firing a worker, modifying a labor contract unlawfully, and disciplining a worker excessively. It appears Sanders isn’t even waiting until he’s President to institute a Gulag!

Sanders has come under fire in other ways for his campaign’s poor labor practices as well. After pushing the idea for a $15-an-hour minimum wage nationally, it was revealed that he didn’t pay his own staffers that same wage in many cases.

“Many field staffers are barely managing to survive financially, which is severely impacting our team’s productivity and morale,” the union representing Sanders’ campaign staff wrote in a letter issued to campaign manager Faiz Shakir. “Some field organizers have already left the campaign as a result.”

After the details of the negotiations were leaked to the press, Sanders commented against them in caustic comments that made the socialist egalitarian seem more like a penny-pinching fat cat.

“It does bother me that people are going outside of the process and going to the media,” Sanders said. “That is really not acceptable. It is really not what labor negotiations are about, and it’s improper.”

Sanders eventually capitulated after receiving widespread scrutiny regarding his campaign’s disingenuous labor practices:

Unfortunately for Sanders, that isn’t the only humiliating hypocrisy he has to worry about. The Indianapolis office of the labor board will hold a preliminary investigation into the complaint filed against the Sanders campaign in the upcoming weeks. Lawyers for the board will decide if the claim is meritorious after the investigation takes place, and make a final determination on whether it warrants further action.

Sanders made history when his campaign staff was the first ever to be unionized under the United Food and Commercial Workers, but his campaign is showing that union labor is inefficient and difficult to manage. Sanders’ beleaguered campaign is ironically providing the nation with a teachable moment about economics.

TRANS ACTIVIST WHO DEMANDED WOMEN SHAVE MALE GENITALIA HANGS UP WHEN CHALLENGED DURING INTERVIEW

Trans Activist Who Demanded Women Shave Male Genitalia Hangs Up When Challenged During Interview

“Are those women not protected?”

JULY 23, 2019

The transgender activist who demanded female beauticians shave male genitalia hung up when challenged during a radio interview.

As we highlighted yesterday, Jessica Yaniv, who was born a man, has filed complaints with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal against fifteen female aestheticians for their refusal to wax her male genitalia.

Having previously made predatory comments about women and girls in female changing rooms, Yaniv is also attempting to organize a topless swimming session for girls as young as 12 which parents will not be allowed to attend.

During an appearance on a radio show, Irish host Niall Boylan challenged Yaniv on why her rights as a trans person trumped those of women who do not wish to be exposed to or touch male genitalia.

Boylan made the point that Yaniv believing herself to be a woman despite being born a man was not a belief that other people should be forced to hold.

“I don’t believe in God, I’m an atheist, you believe in God, I respect the fact that you believe in God and I respect your point of view and I respect your faith in God, that doesn’t mean I have to believe in God,” said Boylan.

The host charged that Yaniv was demanding women perform a service (shaving male genitalia) that they don’t believe in.

“They don’t want to handle a man’s genitalia,” said Boylan.

Yaniv argued that he was part of a protected class, to which Boylan responded, “Are those women not protected who have a right to say no?”

“Those women should also be allowed to live their lives the way they wanna live their lives,” said Boylan, to which Yaniv responded, “But not when they discriminate against the rights of others.”

Boylan argued that it wasn’t discrimination to not supply a service that includes waxing male genitalia.

Yaniv then hung up and the conversation was ended.

“Just hung up on an offensive radio interview in Ireland,” Yaniv later tweeted. “Don’t tell me that I don’t have anything when you don’t know. Jesus.”

“You started arguing with me about things you know nothing about,” Yaniv added. “So let me put it to you this way…I’m female. Im a woman. Im not a man. Im as such entitled to EVERY service a female is entitled to and any such refusal is a violation of the BCHRC and CHRC.”

AOC: U.S. MUST HAVE ‘LIFELONG COMMITMENT’ TO MIGRANT CHILDREN—HEALTHCARE SERVICES FOR LIFE

“I believe we have responsibility to provide mental healthcare services to those children for the rest of their lives.”

By Tony Lee

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said over the weekend that the United States government must have a “lifelong commitment” to illegal immigrant migrants separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border and provide “mental healthcare services” to them “for the rest of their lives.”

Speaking at a town hall event in Queens, New York, Ocasio-Cortez, who has referred to migrant detention centers as “concentration camps,” reportedly argued that the U.S. government must make a “lifelong commitment” to migrant children because “even if you separate a kid from their parents for two days, you have already created life-long lasting trauma.”

“I believe we have responsibility to provide mental healthcare services to those children for the rest of their lives,” Ocasio-Cortez said, according to a Guardian report. “And there are children who have been separated that we have reunified, and it took about a year to reunify some of these kids with their parents. Lifelong trauma for which we, the United States, are responsible… And it chills me to my core to think about 20 years from now, when these kids grow up, the story that they will have about America.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar Calls for Abortion ‘Access’ for Illegal Aliens

Screen Shot 2019-07-23 at 10.31.37 AM

By Dr. Susan Berry – 23 Jul 2019

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar tweeted Monday that illegal aliens must have “access” to abortion, which she equated with “medical care.”

The Democrat and “Squad” member was reacting to a Vox article claiming, “Immigrants are skipping reproductive health care because they’re afraid of being deported.”

“No one should fear receiving medical care because they are undocumented,” Omar posted. “We must ensure that all people in our country have access to reproductive health.”

Screen Shot 2019-07-23 at 10.35.22 AM

Breitbart News reported that all the Democrat 2020 hopefuls who participated in the second debate night in June said they support taxpayer-funded healthcare for all illegal aliens living in the United States.

Additionally, Omar’s Democrat colleague Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) said over the weekend that American taxpayers must maintain a “lifelong commitment” to illegal alien children by providing them with “mental healthcare services … for the rest of their lives.”

Since Democrats use the language of the abortion industry that claims “abortion is healthcare,” Omar’s call for illegal aliens to have abortion “access” – a euphemism as well for “taxpayer-funded” – is in keeping with their views and is already being shared in left-wing media.

Vox asserts “news of ICE raids and family separation are shaping people’s reproductive lives” in “the Trump era.”

“Immigration and reproductive rights are often treated as separate issues by the media and the public,” writer Anne North suggests. “But advocates say that for people living under threat of deportation in America today, there’s no separating the two.”

Planned Parenthood echoed the same view on Twitter.

North reports that illegal alien Layidua Salazar underwent an abortion in 2013 in California while going through the deportation process.

“I describe my abortion as coming up for air,” she reportedly told Vox. “It allowed me to feel a sense of control over my future.”

Salazar, however, described her own situation as “unique” because she has been a “reproductive justice” activist and, according to Vox, “knew that a clinic in California would not look into her immigration status.”

She added that illegal aliens have “been in a state of constant fear and anxiety since 2008,” when Barack Obama was elected president.

“[W]e didn’t think it was going to get worse, but boy, it did,” Salazar said about the election of Donald Trump.

Veterans Furious when Maryland County Replaces POW Flag

Screen Shot 2019-07-23 at 10.06.18 AM

By Warner Todd Huston

U.S. Veterans in Montgomery County, Maryland, were furious when the county government replaced its POW flag with the gay pride flag outside the county veteran’s park.

Another left-wing governmental body is bowing to the radical, left-wing gay lobby and disrespecting our troops in the process.

The Montgomery County Council’s first gay member, Evan Glass, celebrated the raising of the gay pride flag Monday morning at Veterans Memorial Plaza in Rockville, Maryland, according to NBC 4.

Trending: Miss World America Pageant Strips Miss Michigan of Title Because She is a Conservative

You read that right. The county’s gay council member decided that flying the gay pride flag outside the city’s veteran’s park was better than flying the POW flag!

It didn’t take long before the local veterans rose up in anger. None of them were all that upset that the officials wanted to raise the radical gay flag, mind you, but there were furious that a veretan flag was taken down outside a veteran’s park in order to raise the gay flag.

Naturally, and with good reason, the veterans felt like they were getting disrespected in favor of the radical gay agenda.

And they are 100 percent right, too.

Vietnam veteran John “Bill” Williams spoke out at the slight.

“When I was in Vietnam, I was there six days before two guys were missing in action, and they still haven’t found their bodies,” Williams said. And this is how the country treats him.

“I wasn’t happy about it at all because the park is supposed to be a veterans park,” Williams added. “People died. Now they took it down and put another flag up.”

The gay politician quickly began backtracking as soon as the backlash hit.

Councilman Glass claimed that the flag pole was the real problem. You see, it was only set up for one flag. So, naturally the veterans had to take a back seat for his gay agenda.

Glass promised to add another set of rigging to the pole so that two flags could be flown.

Whatever.

The fact that Glass felt that his radical agenda was more important than our veterans is all we need to know about him.

ILHAN OMAR MARRIAGE FLUMMOXES MEDIA FACT-CHECKERS

 

Ilhan Omar Marriage Flummoxes Media Fact-Checkers

The ‘baseless smear’ that can’t be debunked

By Brent Scher – July 22m 2019

Media outlets scrambled to prove false the accusation that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) married her brother after President Donald Trump mentioned it, but none have been able to definitively reach an answer, largely due to Omar’s unwillingness to provide information.

Trump was asked about the accusation that Omar’s husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, was also her brother during a scrum with reporters last Wednesday and said he had heard talk that she married her brother but knew “nothing about it.”

National media had largely kept away from judging the merits of the accusation that she was related to her second husband, which have circulated since her entry into politics in 2016, but after Trump’s comment many came to quick conclusions. CNN’s Jim Acosta jumped in immediately to criticize Trump for diving in on “disgusting lies.”  The Daily Beast‘s Will Sommer published a lengthy piece on Friday that did little to nothing to debunk what he calls a “baseless smear.”

Rashida Tlaib: ‘I’m Not Going Nowhere’ Until I Impeach Trump

DETROIT, MI - JULY 22: U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) speaks at the opening plenary session of the NAACP 110th National Convention at the COBO Center on July 22, 2019 in Detroit, Michigan. The convention is from July 20 to July 24 with the theme of, "When We Fight, We …

By Joshua Caplan

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) declared Monday that she is “not going nowhere, not until I impeach this president,” in a speech before the NAACP national convention in Detroit.

Tlaib’s pledge comes after the president has repeatedly challenged the Michigan lawmaker and fellow “Squad” members — Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) — to leave the United States over their frequent attacks on the country.

“We need bold action, folks. I know what’s happening out there… it’s beyond just the four of us,” Tlaib told the crowd. “The squad is all of you. I can tell you, you are all the squad, trust me. If you support equity, you support justice, you are one of us.”

Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman in Congress, infamously called for President Trump to be removed just hours after being sworn as a House member earlier this year, pledging to progressive activists, “we’re gonna go in there and we’re going to impeach the motherfucker.”

President Trump on Monday re-upped his criticism of Tlaib and the “Squad,” tweeting that the far-left clique is a “very Racist group of troublemakers who are young, inexperienced, and not very smart.”

“They are pulling the once great Democrat Party far left, and were against humanitarian aid at the Border…And are now against ICE and Homeland Security. So bad for our Country!” he added.

Screen Shot 2019-07-22 at 5.57.22 PM

Tlaib, of course, is no stranger to controversy.

The Michigan Democrat has repeatedly come under fire for uttering antisemitic statements since arriving in Washington last year, including falsely claiming Palestinians offered a “safe haven” for Jews fleeing the Holocaust, whitewashing Palestinian opposition to Jewish immigration and its leadership’s collaboration with Adolf Hitler.

Despite Tlaib and Omar both denying they are antisemitic, the pair of Muslim lawmakers co-introduced a measure last week that supports the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against the Jewish state.

BERNIE SANDERS MOCKED FOR ADMITTING HE WILL HAVE TO CUT STAFF HOURS TO PAY THEM $15 MINIMUM WAGE

Bernie Sanders Mocked For Admitting He Will Have to Cut Staff Hours to Pay Them $15 Minimum Wage

Well, this is awkward

JULY 22, 2019

Bernie Sanders was mercilessly mocked after he was forced to cut the hours of staffers who demanded the $15 dollars an hour the socialist Senator is campaigning for.

Sanders’ campaign staffers are putting in 60 hours a week, which makes their pay equivalent to $13 dollars an hour.

However, the unionized staffers asked campaign manager Faiz Shakir to boost their pay to $15 dollars an hour to match the pay level Sanders has advocated for.

This forced Sanders to reduce the number of hours staffers work to 42 or 43 each week.

The socialist Senator was mocked for proving his own minimum wage utopia doesn’t work in reality.

“For the first time in his life, socialist Bernie Sanders practices economics and buddy the results are hilarious,” joked Stephen Miller.

Screen Shot 2019-07-22 at 10.59.52 AM

“So does this fall under the category of hypocrisy, irony, or poetic justice? All three? Can’t make this stuff up,” tweeted Texas Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw.

Screen Shot 2019-07-22 at 11.01.12 AM

“The rules of economics exist, even within the campaign of a socialist!” remarked Kimberley Guilfoyle.

Screen Shot 2019-07-22 at 11.02.32 AM

Despite Sanders admitting that a welfare state simply doesn’t work with open borders, he still appears to believe in the sacred progressive cow of the $15 minimum wage.

Maybe this embarrassment will force him to take another look.

A Democrat State Rep From Chicago Wants Residents To Arm Themselves

By Jose Nino

Democrat State Representative La Shawn Ford wants people in his neighborhood in Chicago to acquire more concealed carry licenses.

In 2019, Ford ran for mayor. Ammoland notes that Ford “favors more tax money going to Chicago from the State of Illinois, and from the Federal government. He thinks there are plenty of police in Chicago, and they should have more controls on what they do.”

However, the state rep is having a change of heart on the gun issue. On WLS-AM 890, Ford told the Mancow Show that he is encouraging his constituents to arm themselves in the face of Chicago’s growing violence. Ford specifically said:

“I think about it all the time,” Ford said of the shootings that plague his community. “That’s why I’m working with a concealed carry instructor and we’re going to go through the neighborhood and we’re going to encourage people to get their concealed carry license because it makes no sense for people not to have the protections that they need.”

Urban centers may be witnessing a cultural shift on gun control. Information from gun researcher John Lott and activism from groups such as Black Guns Matter are changing the discussion on gun policy. Historically, blacks have been prevented from exercising their right to bear arms through laws such as the Black Codes and Jim Crow in the South.

Now, thanks to increased gun liberalization at the state level, blacks are now applying for and obtaining concealed carry permits in record numbers.

Illinois has played a special role in the battle to restore gun rights in America. After all, it was in McDonald v. City of Chicago, where the Second Amendment was incorporated at the state and local level. From there, all levels of government—federal, state, and local—had to respect this right. The plaintiff involved in this case was Otis McDonald, a black resident of Chicago.

This call by Ford represents a small, yet important step in changing the conversation in urban centers across America. For too long, gun control policies have rendered countless law-abiding minorities defenseless against crimes. It’s promising that a Democratic politician and former mayoral candidate recognizes the value of concealed carry.

Let’s hope this leads to a reform of Illinois’s gun laws.
