HERE WE GO-> Both of Justin Fairfax’s Accusers Are Willing to Testify at Impeachment Proceedings Against the Virginia Lt. Governor

Embattled Virginia Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax denied the sexual assault allegations brought against him by two different women and called for the FBI to investigate the allegations.

“As an officer of the court and a former federal prosecutor, I have dedicated my life to the law and due process,” Justin Fairfax said in a statement Saturday. “Consequently, I call on all appropriate and impartial investigatory authorities, including the FBI, to investigate fully and thoroughly the allegations against me by Ms. Watson and Dr. Tyson. I ask that all three of us be respected during this process.”

Both women accusing Fairfax of sexual assault are willing to testify at impeachment proceedings against the Virginia Lt. Governor, according to their attorneys.

“The one thing I want to make abundantly clear is that in both situations I knew at the time, and I know today, that the interactions were consensual,” Fairfax said Saturday.

A second woman came forward and accused Virginia Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax of sexual assault on Friday.

The second accuser, a woman named Meredith Watson, requested the resignation of Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax through her attorney Nancy Erika Smith on Friday, alleging Fairfax raped her in college in the year 2000.

Ms. Watson alleges Justin Fairfax raped her in a “premeditated and aggressive” attack while the two were students at Duke University in 2000.

According to the statement released by attorney Nancy Erika Smith, Meredith Watson has contemporaneous witnesses who have provided statements corroborating Ms. Watson’s claims Fairfax raped her.

“I deny this latest unsubstantiated allegation. It is demonstrably false. I have never forced myself on anyone,” Fairfax said.

Mr. Fairfax concluded his statement by calling the sexual assault allegations against him “a vicious and coordinated smear campaign” that is being orchestrated against him.

“I will not resign,” he stated.

Dr. Vanessa Tyson, the first woman to accuse Justin Fairfax of sexual assault has a very compelling, believable story, however she does not offer any contemporaneous witnesses to corroborate her claims Mr. Fairfax sexually assaulted her at a DNC convention in Boston in 2004.

To be clear, a lack of contemporaneous witnesses does not mean Dr. Tyson was never sexually assaulted by Justin Fairfax.

Dr. Tyson says after she was assaulted by Justin Fairfax, she “suffered from both deep humiliation and shame,” a common thing women experience after a traumatic sexual assault.

Both women who allege they were sexually assaulted by Justin Fairfax should be heard and taken seriously.

To further put this into context, Christine Blasey Ford didn’t even offer up one contemporaneous witness to corroborate her claims Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a decades-old drunken high school party, yet the Senate Judiciary Committee allowed her to publicly testify against Kavanaugh.

Justin Fairfax is under tremendous pressure to resign by Monday, but VA Gov. Ralph Northam and VA AG Mark Herring seem to be surviving their blackface, KKK scandals.

Netflix Buys Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Doc ‘Knock Down the House’ for $10 Million

NetlfixAOC1

By Warner Todd Huston

Streaming giant Netflix has shelled out a whopping $10 million for the rights to broadcast a documentary that follows the primary campaign of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and three other candidates.

The film, entitled Knock Down the House, produced and directed by Rachel Lears, was a huge hit at this year’s Sundance Film Festival winning the coveted audience favorite award. The film was a hot ticket for the festival and featured a Skyped address to the crowd made by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez herself at the film’s conclusion.

Netflix pounced quickly to pick up the film rights initially offering $6 million but upping the ante when others began taking notice of the film.

The film follows the 2018 primary challenges mounted by Amy Vilela (NV), Cori Bush (MO), and Paula Jean Swearengin (WV), as well as Ocasio-Cortez. The New Yorker was the only one of the four candidates that went on to win the primary and, hence, a seat in Congress.

Netflix was bound and determined to win the bid for the film, but the competition was hot, Deadline reported. Aside from Netflix, NEON, Focus, Hulu, and Amazon were all in the hunt for the rights to the film.

According to Deadline, the ten million price tag makes Knock Down the House the most expensive documentary sale ever brokered at Sundance.

CNN Tries To Explain Away Its Own Viewer Poll’s HUGE Numbers For Trump

By Patrick Howley

CNN’s David Chalian struggled to explain why President Trump scored 76 percent “somewhat positive” or “very positive” in the cable network’s instant poll. The poll only counted “speech watchers,” Chalian explained, so Trump’s supporters might have been over-represented because they were watching the speech.

CNN seems to be having a tough night. Incidentally, the CBS News viewer poll also clocked in at exactly 76 percent approval for President Trump’s State of the Union address.

President Donald Trump urged Americans to come together to “Choose Greatness” in his State of the Union address on February 5, 2019.

“Members of Congress, the State of our Union is strong,” President Trump said as members of Congress chanted “USA! USA!”

“That sounds so good,” President Trump noted.

America is on a roll, and the only thing that can stop it is foolish wars, politics, and partisan investigations.

“We must reject the politics of revenge” and work for the “common good,” President Trump said.

“Together we can break decades of political stalemate, we can…build new coalitions.”

“The decision is ours to make. We must choose between greatness or gridlock…vision or vengeance, incredible progress or pointless destruction. Tonight I ask you to choose greatness.”

“We are just getting started.”

“Wages are rising at the fastest pace in decades, and growing for blue-collar workers.”

“Nearly 5 million Americans have been lifted off food stamps.”

“We are considered far and away the hottest economy anywhere in the world. Not even close. Unemployment has reached the lowest rate in nearly half a century.”

“African-American unemployment, Hispanic-American unemployment, and Asian-American unemployment have all reached their lowest levels ever recorded. Unemployment for people with disabilities has also reached an all-time low. More people are working now than at any time in the history of our country. 157 million people at work.”

“We are a net exporter of energy.”

President Trump focused on Christians’ ability to get off drugs. President Trump highlighted the story of Matthew Charles, the first man to be released from prison in accordance with President Trump’s First Step Act.

Relatedly, President Trump vowed to put the drug cartels out of business. Troops are at the border to meet the caravans. “This is a moral issue. The lawless state of our southern border is a threat…to all Americans,” Trump said.

Democrats live behind walls. Why can’t our country?

“Simply put: Walls work, and walls save lives,” President Trump said.

Women in the Democrat caucus gave a rousing ovation for Trump’s announcement that there are more women in the workforce than ever before. “You weren’t supposed to do that!,” the president joked. “Don’t sit yet, you’re going to like this! We now have more women serving in Congress than ever before.”

“USA! USA! USA!” Congress chanted.

“That’s great,” President Trump said.

President Trump demanded Congress pass a bill “to ban the late-term abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother’s womb.”

“We were born free, and we will stay free,” President Donald Trump vowed.

“America will never be a socialist country.”

“Great nations do not fight endless wars.”

“Our most thrilling achievements are still ahead.”

“Our biggest victories are still to come.”

“We do the incredible. We defy the impossible. We conquer the unknown. This is the time to re-ignite the American imagination.”

“This is the time to rekindle the bonds of love and loyalty…that link us together as American citizens, as neighbors, as patriots.”

“I am asking you to choose greatness…We must go forward together…We must keep America First in our hearts. We must keep freedom alive in our souls. And we must always keep faith in America’s destiny…”

“Thank you, God Bless you, and God bless America,” President Trump said.

AOC’s Green New Deal Proposal Is Way Too Modest. I’ve Got A Better Plan.

By Matt Walsh

Lawmaker and visionary Alexandria Ocasio Cortez unveiled her Green New Deal today. It aims to reshape the American economy and usher in an era of peace and prosperity. The goal is admirable. The plan to achieve it, sad to say, is far too modest. It seems that Cortez was so focused on practicality that she lost sight of the dream.

blob:https://www.dailywire.com/0fd199ca-c7e3-4071-bf51-292aacbfc53d

Cortez demands, among other things, a railroad across the ocean, a living wage for all Americans (including those unwilling to work), paid vacation for everyone, healthcare for everyone, the replacement or upgrade of every building in the country, and the banishment of all flatulent cows. These are certainly worthwhile and eminently feasible ideas, but they don’t go far enough.

See the source image

If I may, I would like to suggest a few additions. This is my New Green New Deal or Green New New Deal:

1. A free ice cream machine for every American (vegan ice cream, of course, because Cortez is killing all the milk cows).

2. Every sidewalk in America converted to a moving walkway.

3. Every staircase converted to an escalator.

4. Every escalator converted to an elevator.

5. A big bridge connecting North Carolina to Morocco, with, like, refreshment stands and stuff along the way. Also, like, there should be probably little cabins or something for people to sleep in.

6. A free blimp for every man, woman, and child.

7. A dog for every person.

8. A foot bath for every dog.

9. Essential oils for every foot bath.

10. No diseases (will cutdown on healthcare costs).

11. Universal joy.

12. A constantly refreshed selection of cereal in every pantry.

13. A lion that can tell me stories and grant wishes.

14. Immortality.

15. A computer type thing like from The Matrix where you plug in and learn how to do karate in five minutes.

16. Bananas that never rot.

17. No more loneliness.

18. Free consensual pony rides.

19. A kind of like robot thing that, like, lifts you out of the bed in the morning and puts on your pants for you and brushes your teeth.

20. All remaining student debt converted into tacos (one dollar of debt equals one taco).

According to my estimates, this plan is extremely affordable so long as we tax everyone at a moderate rate of 6,000 percent. We’d also need to consult with a team of highly-trained genies. I assume Cortez has already assembled that team if she’s planning to provide a livable income and paid vacations to every single person in the country.

And here’s the good news: most Americans will die anyway after Cortez tears down all of our homes and kills our livestock. This will thin the herd (pardon the pun) and make it much easier to provide for the small band of survivors who remain.

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMAN TELLS BLACK TEEN CONSERVATIVE: “BE AFRAID OF US”

Democratic Congresswoman Tells Black Teen Conservative: "Be Afraid of Us"

Nydia Velázquez in bizarre threat

Democratic Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez appeared to threaten black teen conservative CJ Pearson during a Twitter exchange when Velázquez told the 16-year-old, “be afraid of us”.

The spat began when Pearson remarked that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared to be constantly talking throughout Trump’s State of the Union speech while “the woman next to her keeps trying to look the other way.”

Screen Shot 2019-02-07 at 11.00.30 AM

Velázquez responded aggressively, tweeting, “Hi @TheCJPearson, I’m not “the woman sitting next to her”. @AOC and I — and millions like us — are the future of this country. And you’re right to be afraid of us. But you should learn my name.”

Screen Shot 2019-02-07 at 11.01.25 AM

Pearson hit back, tweeting, “I’m sorry, Congresswoman, but as @realDonaldTrump said – socialism will NOT be the future of this country. And Nydia, nothing about you nor @AOC scares me. It’s your policies- that jeopardize the stability of our nation and the future of my generation- that scare me.”

Screen Shot 2019-02-07 at 11.03.24 AM

Velázquez’s remarks were particularly unsavory following the left’s demonization campaign against the Covington high school students, which prompted threats of violence and doxxing.

“Once she realized she’d more or less threatened a black teenager on Twitter, she either a) called an emergency crisis management session of her staff; or b) shrugged and figured the media would cover for her and it was nothing to worry about,” remarked Dan Calabrese.

“B is probably right because neither minorities nor minors get any deference from the MSM if they’re conservative.”

Pearson had the last laugh.

Atlantic Writer Jemele Hill Called for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Lead Plot to Assassinate Trump During SOTU Address

by Kristinn Taylor February 6, 2019

Atlantic staff writer Jemele Hill, formerly with ESPN, tweeted a call for President Trump to be assassinated at the State of the Union address before a Joint Session of Congress Tuesday night in a plot led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

The tweet has since been deleted, but not before it was reported by conservative-leaning media outlets like the Resurgent, Breitbart, Free Beacon, Newsbusters and Twitchy. Mediaite was the lone non-conservative site to also cover Hill’s assassination plot tweet, as of publication of this article. Other news outlets have ignored this assassination call by a prominent member of the media.

Ocasio-Cortez has not apparently commented on Hill’s call for her to lead an assassination plot against President Trump.

Hill wrote,  “Nah, she gotta yell: GETCHO HAND OUT MY POCKET”, a direct reference to the assassination plot that killed Malcolm X in 1965 in which a man yelled that out to distract security guards who left Malcolm X when they went to investigate the yelling. The unprotected Malcolm X was then killed by three men in a hail of gunfire.

Hill was replying to a comment by Showtime’s Desus Nice during Trump’s speech for Ocasio-Cortez to yell out a trolling, “whose mans is this”.

The Washington Post in 2018 recounted the February 21, 1965 assassination of Malcolm X in Harlem.

“The shooting began in the Audubon Ballroom just as Malcolm X was preparing to speak.

“A commotion eight rows back in the Harlem auditorium interrupted him. “N—–, get your hand outta my pocket,” a man yelled that Sunday in February.

“Now, now, brothers, break it up,” Malcolm X told them. “Be cool, be calm.”

“Distracted, Malcolm’s bodyguards moved away to break up the scuffle. Suddenly, a man rushed the stage with a sawed-off shotgun, and two more fired handguns, hitting Malcolm X in the chin, hand and chest.

“Betty Shabazz threw her body on her children, who were seated in a curved booth near the stage, said her daughter, Ilyasah Al Shabazz, who was just 2 years old when she witnessed the Feb. 21, 1965, assassination of her father”…END EXCERPT.

Requests via Twitter by this writer for comments from Atlantic Editor-in-Cioef Jeffrey Goldberg and Scott Nover, media and politics writer for the Atlantic, were not responded to by publication of this article.
