‘Robbing women of opportunities’: Fury after transgender NZ weightlifter wins double gold

The transgender debate in women’s sport has reignited after New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard won two gold medals at the recent Pacific Games, being accused of “robbing” fellow competitors of victory.

Hubbard, 41, was born as Gavin before transitioning in her 30s, and picked up double gold in the women’s over-87kg (192lbs) category at the Samoa 2019 games over the weekend.

The New Zealander claimed the overall title on 268kg, ahead of Samoans Feagaiga Stowers on 261kg and Iuniana Sipai on 255kg.

Hubbard is eligible to compete after meeting International Olympic Committee (IOC) criteria regarding testosterone levels for transgender athletes.

But the gold medal haul has been met with anger from Samoa 2019 organizers and many online.

Samoa 2019 chairman Loau Solamalemalo Keneti Sio said Hubbard’s success was “not fair to women weightlifters.”

“There is nothing we can do about it,”Loau said.

“We all know that it is not fair to the women lifters but that is a reality we face in the world of sports.

“The rules have changed and we cannot deviate from these rules. The IOC and IWF [International Weightlifting Federation] do not discriminate against transgender athletes and while this may be hard to accept, we must learn to adapt to these rules because it will not change for anyone.”

The online backlash was even stronger as Hubbard and officials were accused of stealing opportunities from female weightlifters.

Men are better at being women than women are. Or this is a ridiculous trend destroying women’s sports.

— Keith Barrett (@KeithBarrett) July 16, 2019

Hubbard was the first New Zealander to win a medal at the Weightlifting World Championships in 2017, and was also considered the favorite in the women’s heavyweight category at last year’s Commonwealth Games before being forced out through injury.

She is currently bidding for a place on the New Zealand team at the 2020 Tokyo Olmypics.

Hubbard almost sealed a third gold at the Pacific Games over the weekend, but failed with a final lift in the clean and jerk, allowing home favorite Sepaia to win.

That drew cheers from the crowd, with Hubbard responding by blowing them a kiss while leaving the stage.

‘PLEASE’: Chris Cuomo Begs People Not to Investigate Epstein’s Friends

Patrick Howley

CNN’s Chris Cuomo reached a new low in world journalism this week by literally begging people not to delve into accused child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s high-profile friendships.

“When we’re talking about Epstein, you got to stick to what is common sense on these things, all right?. Don’t get buried in legalese, don’t follow the finger-pointing, and please don’t get up on the intrigue of who was better friends with this guy. Who cares? Let’s take a look at the facts of what we know about how it was handled. Okay? We are going to dissect them with one of the best investigators around. What was done that seems fine and what was fugazi,” said Cuomo.

Court documents show that Jeffrey Epstein had 21 different phone numbers for former Democrat president Bill Clinton.

“Epstein’s personal phone directory from his computer contains e-mail addresses for Clinton along with 21 phone numbers for him, including those for his assistant (Doug Band), his schedulers, and what appear to be Clinton’s personal numbers. This information certainly leads one to believe that Clinton might well be a source of relevant information and efforts to obtain discovery from him were reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence,” according to the court documents from a civil case filed by victims against Epstein.

A “little black book” of names and addresses kept by Jeffrey Epstein’s butler is a veritable who’s who of the global elite — and George Soros’ nephew Peter Soros shows up in its pages.

The U.S. District Court Judge presiding over the Jeffrey Epstein child trafficking case was appointed to the federal bench by former president Bill Clinton, a frequent travel companion of Epstein. Epstein actually claimed to be a co-founder of the Clinton Global Initiative.

Richard Berman was appointed by Bill Clinton in 1998. He presided over Dinesh D’Souza’s case where D’Souza was convicted of re-imbursing friends to evade campaign contribution limits in a New York election.

Meanwhile, disgraced former FBI director James Comey’s daughter Maurene is one of the prosecutors in the case.

I reported in 2015:

Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein pleaded the Fifth Amendment in court to avoid having to admit to his personal friendship with former President Bill Clinton.

Court documents (p. 34) reviewed by The Daily Caller reveal that Epstein took the Fifth to avoid self-incrimination in a deposition when directly asked, “Do you know former President Clinton personally?” Epstein made the plea in a 2010-2011 civil case between Epstein and Florida lawyer Brad Edwards, who sued Epstein on behalf of some of Epstein’s alleged victims.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Depraved Artwork is Eerily Reminiscent of the Podesta Bros’ Collection

Could these individuals with deep connections into Democratic politics have something in common?

By Shane Trejo

Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion, which used to be a K-12 school for children, contained a great deal of peculiar artwork that give a glimpse into the mindset of this convicted sexual criminal.

The Democratic-affiliated predator had a mural of a prison yard with himself at the center of it in his home, perhaps realizing that he would someday be held accountable for his life of reprehensible behavior.

Other bizarre works of art contained in the Epstein mansion included dozens of prosthetic eyeballs decorating his hallway, a life-sized doll hanging from a chandelier as if it was being tortured, and a large display with nude figurines on a human chess board.

Epstein’s mansion cost a whopping $56 million, but it was essentially gifted to him by billionaire retail magnate Leslie Wexner, a long-time associate of Epstein’s.

Authorities reportedly found child pornography in his house after they raided it. God only knows how many atrocities were committed inside Epstein’s seven-story townhouse on 9 E. 71st St.

Similarly depraved, sexual imagery has been showcased in the home and office of brothers John and Tony Podesta, long-time Clinton associates who were found at the center of conspiracy theories after leaked Democratic Party emailswere published by WikiLeaks in 2016.

John Podesta had an image depicting cannibalism hung in his office while he worked the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign in 2016. He used to quip to shocked observers who asked about the morbid painting depicting two men feasting on another that “it’s better to be the guy with the fork than the guy on the table.”

Tony Podesta’s home is filled with even more bizarre artwork. Certain images include depictions of women without heads, a nude woman soaked in blood, a blasphemous nude painting of Jesus Christ, and a young boy who looks as if he was rendered by a sewing machine.

The most creepy piece of artwork is a statue in the likeness of tortured victim of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer which hangs from the ceiling of Tony Podesta’s home. Similar to Epstein’s life-sized doll hanging from a chandelier, it shows a reverence for human suffering that is seemingly commonplace among the liberal elite.

Independent journalist Ben Swann investigated the revelations found in the leaked e-mails related to John and Tony Podesta when the conspiracy theories were at their peak.

With Epstein’s apprehension, the notion of elite pedophile rings are once again on the minds of many Americans. Until the thousands of civil court documents are released and the explosive proof is disclosed by federal investigators, speculation will continue to run rampant about what these Democrats are really doing behind closed doors.

TRAFFIC: Epstein Scandal Spreads To The Border State of New Mexico

Patrick Howley

Accused child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has some problems in New Mexico, home state of former Clinton official Bill Richardson, who appears in Epstein’s “little black book” of names and addresses. At least one allegation of sex crimes at Epstein’s New Mexico ranch also points blame at Alan Dershowitz, Epstein’s longtime legal fixer. (RELATED: Clinton-Connected NXIVM Sex Cult Was Trafficking Children From Mexico).

The Albuquerque Journal reports:

Wealthy hedge fund manager Jeffrey Epstein, arrested anew over the weekend in New York for sex trafficking and conspiracy, also has been accused of sex crimes at his New Mexico mansion south of Santa Fe.

He’s never faced criminal charges here, despite allegations of sexual misconduct at his ranch near Stanley that have emerged in civil litigation.

At least three embarrassed New Mexico politicians have returned donations from Epstein that showed up in their campaign accounts over the years, and news reports say investigations of Epstein reached into New Mexico.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Albuquerque on Monday provided a brief statement in response to a Journal inquiry on whether the office has considered filing any charges against Epstein for alleged crimes in New Mexico.

“I understand your interest in Mr. Epstein and his connections to New Mexico,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Sullivan via email. “He has not been charged federally in our district. Consistent with DOJ (Department of Justice) policy, the U.S. Attorney’s Office cannot confirm, deny, or otherwise comment on any possible ongoing investigations.”

Big League Politics reported:

Land owned by CEMEX, a multinational building materials company headquartered in Mexico, is at the center of a controversy in Tuscon, AZ, where citizens say that they have uncovered a sex-trafficking bunker which local authorities have refused to examine.

Big League Politics reported on the grisly scene, with photos from the alleged sex-trafficking site.

After alerting local and federal law enforcement about the situation and receiving no help, Veterans on Patrol rallied local volunteers together to physically dig up the site. VOP has amassed a groundswell of support, and has vowed to keep the uncooperative law enforcement entities out of the site while they conduct a private investigation. They are hopeful to bring cadaver dogs on site to search the area.

The local news media has stopped reporting on the group’s activities.

The situation came to a head Sunday afternoon when, according to the group, they dug up a bloody knife, female underwear, and the plane ticket of a potentially missing girl from Seattle. The group is trying to contact the girl’s family for verification. They filmed the finding live on Facebook, and shortly thereafter, the police showed up and arrested two members of the group for trespassing.

The Rothschild connection to CEMEX is clear. Bronfman E.L. Rothschild L.P., a wealth management firm for high net value clients, owns a substantial share of the concrete giant:

Chuck Schumer, Caught With Jeffrey Epstein Donations, Gives The Money Away

Patrick Howley

Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was caught accepting money from accused child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, and now he’s making a show of giving the money away, just as he did with his Harvey Weinstein donations.

The New York Post reports: Federal Election Commission records show that Schumer received seven $1,000 donations from Epstein between 1992 and 1997, first as a US congressman from New York and then when he was vying to be the state’s senator in 1998, an election he won…

That means Schumer and Schumer-linked entities received a combined $22,000.

Schumer spokesman Angelo Roefaro responded, “While these campaign accounts closed about 20 years ago, and even then the campaign never controlled the two political action committees (PACs), Senator Schumer is donating an equal sum to anti-sex trafficking and anti-violence against women groups.”

The top Senate Democrat previously donated $14,200 — the amount donated to his campaigns by accused sexual predator Harvey Weinstein — to several charities supporting women.

New York Post passage ends

A “little black book” of names and addresses kept by Jeffrey Epstein’s butler includes many rich and powerful people including George Soros’ investment banker nephew Peter Soros, who shows up alongside Bill Richardson, Alec Baldwin and others.

The Soros-Epstein connection is less clearly defined at this time, based on available knowledge, than the clear relationship between Epstein and former Democrat president Bill Clinton,

Court documents show that Jeffrey Epstein had 21 different phone numbers for Bill Clinton.

The U.S. District Court Judge presiding over the Jeffrey Epstein child trafficking case was appointed to the federal bench by former president Bill Clinton, a frequent travel companion of Epstein. Epstein actually claimed to be a co-founder of the Clinton Global Initiative.

Meanwhile, disgraced former FBI director James Comey’s daughter Maurene is one of the prosecutors in the case.

Why did Epstein get a very light sentence — 13 months in a comfortable county jail — when he was first convicted as a sex criminal?

Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, a former Miami prosecutor, reportedly cut Jeffrey Epstein a deal in Epstein’s previous case because he was told that Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” Epstein now stands criminally accused of child sex trafficking.

The Daily Beast reports: “Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)”

Interesting.

Bill Clinton declined to be accompanied by the Secret Service on at least 5 of his flights with accused child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton took at least 26 trips with Epstein according to FAA flight logs, and is now fighting to assert that he was not involved with Epstein’s pedophilia.

Malia Zimmerman reported in 2016: “Official flight logs filed with the Federal Aviation Administration show Clinton traveled on some of the trips with as many as 10 U.S. Secret Service agents. However, on a five-leg Asia trip between May 22 and May 25, 2002, not a single Secret Service agent is listed. The U.S. Secret Service has declined to answer multiple Freedom of Information Act requests filed by FoxNews.com seeking information on these trips. Clinton would have been required to file a form to dismiss the agent detail, a former Secret Service agent told FoxNews.com. In response to a separate FOIA request from FoxNews.com, the U.S. Secret Service said it has no records showing agents were ever on the island with Clinton.”

Comey Hiding ‘CLINTON EMAILS’ Binder Is Conflict of Interest For His Daughter in Epstein Case

By Patrick Howley

James Comey’s daughter Maurene Comey is now a confirmed member of the Jeffrey Epstein prosecution team. Epstein faces child trafficking charges, but the establishment is fighting hard to obscure the links between Epstein and his friend and frequent travel companion Bill Clinton.

Considering the fact that Epstein had 21 different numbers plus email addresses for Bill Clinton, it becomes increasingly clear that Maurene Comey must recuse herself from the case in light of her father’s cover-up efforts for Hillary Clinton during her email scandal.

Former FBI director James Comey had a white binder marked “Clinton Emails” in his office on May 16, 2017, a few days after he was fired, as the Department of Justice was trying to get back the items in Comey’s office safe.

The State Department and FBI also possessed a “Datto” backup email device for Hillary Clinton’s private email server, which a judge ordered released. Michael Bekesha, who waged the Datto case for Judicial Watch, tells Big League Politics that the State Department is “still processing the FBI investigative file,” even though Datto contents were ordered released by last September.

Bekesha said it is possible that the State Department has not searched the device, which they received from Comey’s FBI, noting, “They have not yet identified the location of all the records that they reviewed and produced.”

Comey got busted by the DOJ for hiding his “Clinton Emails” binder after he got fired from the FBI, as Big League Politics exclusively reported.

The FBI officially released the DOJ’s “Inventory” Receipt for Property documents listing the stuff Comey had in his office safe.

Look below at Inventory Item #17, which originally said “TOP SECRET,” then that marking was crossed out. In its final form, it says:

‘White Binder – CLINTON EMAILS’

Screen Shot 2019-07-10 at 10.11.32 AM

Here’s the scoop provided to Big League Politics by whistleblower Mark Pullen:

In the exit documents for James Comey’s departure from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a page among the documents showed Comey had a binder in his safe that contained Hillary Clinton’s emails. The document does not show what medium was used to store the emails within the binder. The binder could have had sleeved pages for CDs which could have had Clinton’s email to include the missing emails that were Bleach-Bit wiped by Paul Combetta while the server was under a subpoena order from Congress to preserve. In the FBI’s report on Clinton’s mishandling of Classified information, it has a page from then FBI agent Peter Strzok to the National Security Agency: an order to preserve any emails sent to or from @clintonemails.com. We know from Edward Snowden’s disclosures that the NSA captures all email traffic within the United States. I am sure the NSA had all of Clinton’s emails even the ones she had deleted. The questions are, did Strzok take sole possession of the emails for the FBI? Were those emails in Comey’s safe the copies from the NSA? Comey said he expected a Clinton victory in the presidential election. Was Comey holding these emails as leverage over a possible future president Hillary Clinton to retain his position as the director of the FBI?”

Meanwhile, the Datto backup device was storing Clinton emails that the Clintons did not want stored, and Platte River Networks did NOT thoroughly encrypt Clinton’s emails on the server, as the Clintons demanded, according to an FBI report:

Screen Shot 2019-07-10 at 10.13.42 AM

I reported exactly one week ago in a prescient piece for Big League Politics:

James Comey’s daughter Maurene Comey is an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) office previously led by Preet Bharara, which is waging legal warfare against President Donald Trump.

Now we know that two FBI special agents from New York are personally tasked with harassing President Donald Trump donors far outside of New York — meaning that the Trump targeting never stopped.

Maurene Comey, who graduated from Harvard Law School in 2013, joined the Southern District of New York office as an Assistant United States Attorney in 2015, and has been there ever since. Her father was formerly a U.S. attorney in that notoriously political office. James Comey’s brother Peter Comey, meanwhile, works for DLA Piper, the law firm that did the Clinton Foundation’s taxes. The Comey brothers met during the course of the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

Here is Maurene Comey singing a Whitney Houston song at the College of William and Mary in 2010.

I reported exclusively:

Two Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents recently showed up to question a businessperson in another state about his/her brother’s possible donations to the Republican National Committee during the President Donald Trump campaign.

The two special agents showed up in an FBI car with yellow New York plates in this faraway state, meaning that the New York office is handling this operation without farming it out to local agents. The license plate of the FBI car was HMV8617, and the agents showed up at 7 AM. James Comey’s daughter Maurene is an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, the virulently anti-Trump office previously led by Preet Bharara.

INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST: BILL CLINTON IS LYING ABOUT FLYING ON ‘LOLITA EXPRESS’ ONLY 4 TIMES

“Almost every time that Clinton’s name is on the pilot logs there are underage girls”

JULY 9, 2019

An investigative journalist and human trafficking expert says that Bill Clinton is lying when he claims he only flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ four times.

Conchita Sarnoff spent over a decade looking into documents and interviewing officials and witnesses surrounding the Epstein case.

During an appearance on Fox News last night, she confounded former president Clinton’s attempt to distance himself from Epstein.

Clinton released a statement claiming he had not spoken to Epstein in over a decade and that he only took four trips on Epstein’s airplane.

Flight logs obtained by Fox News in 2016 show that Clinton flew on Epstein’s private jet at least 26 times, trips that included, “extended junkets around the world with Epstein and fellow passengers identified on manifests by their initials or first names.”

“I have read too much information and I have spoken to too many people on the inside,” said Sarnoff, adding that she attempted to interview Clinton but he refused.

“I know from the pilot logs, these were logs written by different pilots at different times, that Clinton went, he was a guest of Epstein’s 27 times,” Sarnoff said, adding that sometimes Clinton ditched his Secret Service detail for these flights.

“Almost every time that Clinton’s name is on the pilot logs there are underage girls, there are initials and there are names of many many girls on that private plane,” said the journalist.

“Why would anyone, not only a former president, fly on a plane 27 times that did not belong to him?” asked Sarnoff.

When Clinton’s statement was read out to her, Sarnoff asserted that Clinton “is not telling the truth,” highlighting how Epstein was one of the original funders of the Clinton Global Initiative and gave him $4 million dollars.

As we reported earlier, conservative commentator Ann Coulter asserts that Epstein was the front man for a “state sponsored” network that used the underage girls as a means of blackmailing powerful men.

Epstein Dined With George Stephanopoulos and Katie Couric After First Release From Jail

Patrick Howley

Jeffrey Epstein still counted ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos and Katie Couric as social friends after his first release from prison, when he served 13 months in a country-club county jail. Epstein now faces child trafficking charges, with an indictment from the Southern District of New York that references three minor victims.

Vanity Fair previously reported:

“Who among these visitors knew what about Epstein’s sexual subjugation of high-school girls? Let me avoid threats from lawyers and just say that, regardless of the answer, Epstein lost fewer friends than you’d think, not to mention very little of his fortune. In 2010, having long since served his time, Epstein was hosting Katie Couric, George Stephanopoulos, Chelsea Handler, and Woody Allen for dinner. “I plead guilty to making a deal that was favorable to my client,” said Dershowitz in 2015. “That’s my job.” Or, as Ken Starr offered in the same year, “I was very happy to respond to the needs of a client of the firm.”

“Sources told the Herald that the indictment includes new victims and witnesses who spoke to authorities in New York over the past several months,” reported the Miami Herald, which successfully sued to unseal some records pertaining to an Epstein-related defamation case days ago.

Jeffrey Epstein has been arrested for sex trafficking minors, marking another major step forward in law enforcement’s recent push to bust elite pedophile rings. (READ: NXIVM Cult’s Connections To Hillary, Schumer, and Gillibrand).

The Daily Beast reports: Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was arrested for allegedly sex trafficking dozens of minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005, and will appear in court in New York on Monday, according to three law enforcement sources. The arrest, by the FBI-NYPD Crimes Against Children Task Force, comes about 12 years after the 66-year-old financier essentially got a slap on the wrist for allegedly molesting dozens of underage girls in Florida…

Several employees and associates allegedly recruited the girls for Epstein’s abuse, and some victims eventually became recruiters themselves, according to law enforcement. The girls were as young as 14, and Epstein knew they were underage, according to details of the arrest and indictment shared by two officials.
