PELOSI: ‘GO LOW, GO HIGH, WHATEVER. WE JUST HAVE TO WIN’

PELOSI: ‘Go low, go high, whatever. We just have to win’

It wasn’t the first time Pelosi has touted her “say whatever” strategy to wrest control from Republicans in the lower chamber

American Mirror – OCTOBER 30, 2018

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi doesn’t care what Democrats have to say or do to get elected, as long as she’s got the gavel in her hands come January.

Pelosi reiterated that point during a surprise appearance at the Bentzen Ball comedy festival at the Lincoln Theater on Saturday. The self-presumed future House speaker dropped in on a live podcast by Jonathan Van Ness – star of Netflix’s “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” – to offer her take on the balance of power on Capitol Hill.

Once Van Ness collected his emotions from meeting the master legislator, he prodded Pelosi about whether the left should follow Michelle Obama’s mantra “when they go low, we go high” even “when GOP ads lie or (Republicans) try to steal an election,” according to The Huffington Post’s Jennifer Bendery.

“Jonathan Van Ness: Dems say, ‘When they go low, we go high.’ Why not get dirty too, when GOP ads lie or when GOP tries to steal an election, like with Stacy Abrams?” Bendery posted to Twitter. “Pelosi: “We just have to win. Go low, go high, whatever. We just have to win.’”

It wasn’t the first time Pelosi has touted her “say whatever” strategy to wrest control from Republicans in the lower chamber. In early October, Showtime host Alex Wagner questioned Pelosi about the possibility of a takeover and whether she envisioned a second stint as speaker. Dozens of Democratic House candidates have campaigned on a promise not to vote for Pelosi as leader if the party takes control, The American Mirror reports.

“If Democrats take the House,” Wagner said, “are you going to be the person with the gavel in your hand, and are you going to be the person that calls up Donald Trump to try to work with him?”

Pelosi ignored the suggestion of working with the president.

“Yes, I anticipate that I’ll be the person with the gavel in hand, but I haven’t asked anybody for a vote. In fact, I’ve told the candidates, ‘Do whatever you have to do, just win baby!’

“But I do think that I’m in very good shape with my caucus,” Pelosi said.

Web Host Blacklists LifeSite News After Left-Wing Harassment

LifeSite, a Christian pro-life news outlet, was allegedly blacklisted by its web host and given just 12 hours to find another host the website, or risk being offline.

“LifeSite just received an email at 8:30 p.m. EST from our web-hosting company alerting us that they will be taking our website down within 12 hours, if not sooner,” claimed LifeSite in a statement, Saturday. “We received absolutely no forewarning whatsoever about this decision.”

“Our web developer is scrambling right now to set up a possibly-needed temporary solution to keep the website live. However, we’re going to have to go through the ordeal and expense of moving server companies,” the news outlet continued. “We also intend to fight these attacks, which will carry significant legal costs.”

In an update made following the original statement, LifeSite added, “Our web developer was up all night implementing temporary measures to keep our site online even if our current web-hosting company followed through on its threat to shut down our services. We are extremely grateful for his hard work on a Saturday night. However, this is only a temporary solution. We are currently looking for a web-hosting company that will not cave to threats of this kind.”

On its website, LifeSite describes itself as a “non-profit Internet service dedicated to issues of culture, life, and family,” launched by the pro-life Campaign Life Coalition in 1997, which “emphasizes the social worth of traditional Judeo-Christian principles but is also respectful of all authentic religions and cultures that esteem life, family and universal norms of morality.”

LifeSite was not the only website blacklisted by its web host this week, with free speech social network Gab losing its web host Joyent late on Saturday and being given until just Monday morning to migrate to another host.

On Saturday, Gab claimed the blacklisting could leave the social network offline for weeks, and as of writing, Gab is currently offline.

“As we transition to a new hosting provider Gab will be inaccessible for a period of time. We are working around the clock to get Gab.com back online,” declared the social network in a statement. “Thank you and remember to speak freely.”

‘Free speech’ social platform Gab goes offline after fatal Pittsburgh shooting

Offline: Gab is taking time off the internet, under immense pressure following the Pittsburgh attack.

By Johnny Lieu

Gab has gone offline.

The self-described “free speech social media platform” is taking time off the internet, after landing under the spotlight when the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting suspect was revealed to be a poster and user on the site.

Gab posted a message on its homepage, announcing that the site will be “inaccessible for a period of time” as it works “around the clock” to transition a new hosting provider.

The platform has been banned by PayPal, and fellow online payment service Stripe is looking to cut off the site. Gab’s new hosting service, Joyent, reportedly will suspend the site from 9 a.m. ET on Monday, Oct. 29.

Gab’s domain registrar, GoDaddy, has also asked for the platform to take its business elsewhere.

“We have informed Gab.com that they have 24 hours to move the domain to another provider, as they have violated our terms of service,” GoDaddy told Mashable in a statement.

“In response to complaints received over the weekend, GoDaddy investigated and discovered numerous instances of content on the site that both promotes and encourages violence against people.”

Publishing platform Medium has also recently suspended Gab’s account, under which the social site had made a statement stating that it “unequivocally disavows and condemns all acts of terrorism and violence.” This statement has now been made unavailable.

Mashable has reached out to Medium for comment.

JUST IN: Shots fired into Republican Party office in Florida!

Thankfully no one was hurt. But volunteers showed up to the Volusia County Republican Party satellite office this morning to find the front windows broken out and four bullet holes in the office:

ORLANDO SENTINEL – At least four shots were fired into the Volusia County Republican Party’s office in South Daytona, police said Monday.

No one was injured, according to South Daytona police Capt. Mark Cheatham, but the shooting broke the offices’ front window and caused some damage to the drywall inside.

Cheatham said a volunteer reported the incident on Monday, which could’ve happened between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning at the office located at 2841 South Nova Road.

No eyewitnesses have been identified and investigators are in the process of tracking down surveillance footage from neighboring businesses, Cheatham said.

Here’s more from the Volusia County Republican chair on what happened:

I don’t know if this has been on the big TV newsers this morning, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc, but my suspicion is that it hasn’t been since no one was hurt.

It’s just a shame that all this crap is happening up against he last week before election day, when many are already voting.
