Desperate Democrats Are Pushing Yet Another Version Of The Russia Collusion Hoax
The truth is, Russia isn’t interfering in the 2024 election nearly as much as Biden’s FBI and DOJ are right now.The truth is, Russia isn’t interfering in the 2024 election nearly as much as Biden’s FBI and DOJ are right now.Don Lemon gets called out hard for still shilling for vaccines and COVID regulations
Don Lemon has stayed true to his colors and is still shilling for the media and the government — despite losing his coveted gig on CNN.
He made this clear in an interview on "The Full Send Podcast," where the Nelk boys confronted him with some basic facts about the government’s disastrous COVID policies.
“There’s a certain set of people that no matter what evidence is put in front of them as it pertains to COVID or as it pertains to the border or the economy or anything else — they will still run defense for the system,” Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" explains, before showing the embarrassing clip.
One of the Nelk boys accused Lemon of being like Cuomo, very pro- “take the thing, do it,” about vaccines.
“This whole argument about vaccines is a little weird to me because I think people are Monday-morning quarterbacking the idea of vaccines,” Lemon responded sheepishly, adding he thought that “instead of being selfish” people should have been “doing what was best for our fellow man.”
“So, I think that the people who are questioning the use of masks, even in the moment, were being a bit selfish,” Lemon said, before repeating the commonly heard line that “there was no medical evidence that ivermectin could help save people from getting COVID, or prevent them from getting COVID, or had any effect on the COVID-19 vaccine.”
“I believe in medicine, I believe in science, and I believe that my government is looking out for me and trying to do the best for me,” Lemon continued.
“Shouldn’t other people have the right to not take the vaccine and not forced to put something in their body that they didn’t want?” the other Nelk boy asks, adding, “It seemed at the time like media was really shaming people if you didn’t get a vaccine, like it’s your fault.”
“Well, I don’t know if the media was shaming people,” Lemon responded. “If you don’t get the vaccine, then don’t get the vaccine, but don’t expect to be able to do and go places,” he continued before being cut off.
“Like make a living, right?” one of the boys asked.
“I’ve watched that clip a couple of times, and it gets worse each time. I mean, he is on his knees blowing a system that literally fired him,” Rubin comments, shocked.

'People are angry': Tim Pool sponsors stock car in NASCAR feeder league
Journalist and podcaster Tim Pool has sponsored the car of professional driver Cody Dennison, with the driver revealing that he's faced backlash over the deal from a few "tribal" voices.
Pool announced on X that he "did a thing," that being sponsoring driver Dennison ahead of an upcoming race, the Tide 150 at the Kansas Speedway. The race is in the ARCA Menards Series, which is one of the feeder leagues into the NASCAR racing system, for which there are three leagues in the ladder.
"The whole reason we're gonna be able to race all year is I met with Tim PooI ... and we talked about it, and he was super interested in just doing the whole year [of sponsorship]," Dennison said in an interview with Chrissie Mayr.
Dennison explained that the conversation about the sponsorship came up while he and Pool were playing a game of billiards.
"He was really interested," Dennison recalled. The driver said that Pool asked, "What does it feel like to go fast?" about the G-force at play, and, "What do you have to do when you have to p***?"
The conversation continued, and when Dennison noted that he'd been looking for a sponsorship, Pool cut him off and asked about the pricing.
"I just told him the rough estimate, and he was like, 'Yeah I'll do that, 100% let's do it.'"
Dennison also explained that some people in his life were angry to learn about the sponsorship.
"The people that are angry about this are always angry because they're tribal. So, they have sides of whatever conflict they think they're on, but they always end up on the side of people that are entirely self- serving, and they don't do stuff like this," he added.
WEEWWW BOI. We are looking SHARP for Kansas. Can't wait to take this thing to 185 mph. Saturday on FS1!! Thanks so much to @Timcast— (@)
Dennison has been in the public eye for some time as a YouTuber since 2013 and was eventually widely publicized in 2019 after his story about being fired from a GameStop went viral. Dennison spoke about the alleged mistreatment of employees and the company's dwindling stock prices at the time.
In a statement to the Post Millennial regarding why he chose to sponsor Dennison, Pool stated that "Cody is a friend" and that he "wanted to support his efforts and thought it would be a cool thing to do."
The Tide 150 takes place on May 4, 2024, at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas.

NBC News' attack on 'right-wing influencers' over claims about Haitian cannibalism kneecapped by stunning admission
Murderous Haitian gangsters have massacred countless unarmed civilians; freed thousands of convicted felons from jail; torched police stations; engaged in systematic rape; threatened genocide; seized control of the country's key port; besieged the airport in Port-au-Prince; and forced the failed nation's prime minister to resign.
Some commentators online have even suggested that among the thugs regarded by some American leftists as revolutionaries are killers who have developed a taste for more than rape, torture, and murder.
NBC News apparently wanted to rehabilitate the gangsters' reputation this week or at the very least kill the notion that those otherwise keen to burn people alive and stack bodies in the streets like cordwood might be cannibals. After all, the threat of cannibal gangs might engender a desire among Americans to prevent migrants from Haiti from continuing to illegally enter the United States.
The trouble with the liberal network's effort is that it contained the seed of its own undoing.
NBC Newspublished a report Wednesday claiming that South African billionaire Elon Musk and "right-wing pundits online are weaponizing unverified claims of cannibalism coming out of the conflict to advance a political agenda on immigration."
The thrust of the article is that conservative commentators have unfairly vilified those Haitian nationals who would steal into the U.S. — not by highlighting the crimes other illegal aliens from Haiti have committed on American soil and against citizens but by noting barbaric practices allegedly engaged in by some of their countrymen back home.
"Musk and conservative influencers have spread the message to millions, smearing Haitian migrants as cannibals," wrote NBC News tech reporter David Ingram.
A number of Haitian cannibalism claims online have been accompanied by a possibly real video from another recent rash of Haitian violence as well as a number of fake videos, including one taken from a Nigerian film set.
Ingram noted, "The cruelty of Haitian gang leaders is not in dispute, nor is the widespread killing in the country during a yearslong political crisis, but the false claims about widespread cannibalism go much further in trying to paint the whole Caribbean nation as barbarous."
Just four paragraphs into his article, however, Ingram admitted that the accusations of cannibalism were actually grounded in fact "on what experts said was a likely intimidation tactic from select gang members."
"In some videos, the most prominent examples being at least two years old, alleged members of violent gangs in Haiti appear to bite into human flesh," wrote Ingram. "Experts said these videos are likely part of propaganda campaigns designed to scare rivals and terrorize local Haitians rather than a reflection of common or normalized behavior. One former armed group went by the name 'Cannibal Army.'"
Ingram spoke to a moderator of the Haitian Subreddit who was similarly condemnatory of the cannibalism narrative, but even his outrage apparently centered on a recognition that the claims ultimately have merit.
"A whole population is getting blamed for what some psycho gang members are doing," said Chris Nestor, a Reddit moderator and a lawyer in Washington, D.C. "It is racist. It is dehumanizing."
Among the posts Ingram found vexing was one from podcast host Tim Pool, one from Malaysian commentator Ian Miles Cheong, and a handful from Musk.
Podcaster Tim Pool received a mention in the NBC News article for tweeting, "Look at Haiti[:] Murder, chaos, cannibalism."
Cheong wrote on March 6, "There are cannibal gangs in Haiti who abduct and eat people. We are not supposed to talk about that because of cultural relativism. The entire country has now entered a state of chaos after gangs attacked two prisons, setting many criminals free. 80% of Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince is now controlled by these gangs."

Cheong doubled down days later, writing, "Haiti has collapsed. The President is no longer in the country. The ports are officially closed. Cannibal gangs are besieging the national palace in Port-au-prince."
"And now they want to import this into America," added Cheong.
Elon Musk replied to the Malaysian commentator, writing, "End of days. This is bleaker than Mad Max."
On March 12, Ingram wrote to Cheong concerning a video allegedly depicting a Haitian gangster eating human flesh, noting, "This video is two years old at least."
Cheong responded, "I guess cannibalism in Haiti isn't so bad if a video of it happening was taken two years ago. Haiti has a long, colorful history of cannibalism. In 2004, a gang called the Cannibal Army also called the Artibonite Resistance Front, seized control of Gonaives. And then they took over Port-au-Prince. I’m sure the name was just for show."
Musk managed to get deep under Ingram's skin with repeated cannibal claims.
"When people wonder 'how bad can it really get?', well it can get cannibal-gang bad," he wrote on Monday.
The Tesla CEO commented on a video about America's open borders, "Cannibal gangs."
After NBC News ran Ingram's piece, Musk wrote, "If wanting to screen immigrants for potential homicidal tendencies and cannibalism makes me 'right wing', then I would gladly accept such a label! Failure to do so would put innocent Americans in mortal risk. Shame on NBC. Shame, shame, shame."
"Objecting to rolling out the red (in more ways than one) carpet for homicidal cannibals seems like a reasonable position to me," added Musk.
Cannibalism is just one of many terror tactics that has been employed by Haitian gangs.
Last year, Jon Lee Anderson of the New Yorker interviewed Jimmy "Barbeque" Chérizier, the mass murderer sanctioned by U.N. and various Western nations for human rights abuses, who recently united various disparate gangs, threatened genocide, and took over Port-au-Prince. In the July article, Anderson noted that the practice of "necklacing," whereby victims are "yoked with tires doused in gasoline and set alight," has become "widespread in Haiti, as a growing array of gangs have taken up the methods of the Chimères."
Anderson noted that "it is not uncommon to see the bodies of people murdered by gang members and left in public as a warning to rivals. Some are charred after being set on fire. Others show signs of having been beaten or shot or hacked with machetes."

Tim Pool breaks Democratic activist's brain with question about Derek Chauvin trial
Failed Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson recently found herself stopped by her own reasoning concerning the right to a fair trial after podcast host Tim Pool applied it to the case of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
On the Dec. 21 episode of the "Timcast IRL" podcast, Pool and Williamson discussed various sensitive topics, including the surge of illegal immigration under President Joe Biden's watch, critical race theory, late-term abortions, and Democratic efforts to prevent the electorate from casting votes for former President Donald Trump.
Late in the conversation, they broached the subject of fair trials and judicial bias, particularly as it concerns those Jan. 6 protesters given relatively extreme sentences.
Pool, who noted both a dearth of "far-left extremists" similarly rotting in jail and concerted efforts by the "corporate media" to pre-emptively convict rightists in the court of public opinion, focused in particular on the treatment of Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who was not at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but was nevertheless sentenced to 22 years in prison. The host suggested the lengthy sentence was not the result necessarily of something Tarrio had done but rather due to who he is.
"I think they are sending him to jail because he's a prominent Trump supporter and the chair of the Proud Boys," said Pool.
Williamson questioned whether there was indeed a "massive conspiracy" among the jury members in Tarrio's trial and in others like his, prompting the host to question whether Washington, D.C., where 93% of the electorate voted Democrat in the last presidential election, could ever produce a jury free of substantial partisan bias.
"I think we are, in essence, a purple nation in our hearts," replied Williamson. "And I think people are interrogated before they are allowed to sit on a jury, and if they say things that are clearly prejudicial, then they are not allowed to sit on that jury."
The Democratic activist added, "We can agree that people should be ... held fairly accountable and that the legal system should be fair to everyone."
Drawing upon an audience question, Pool asked Williamson, "Would you agree with black people people being sentenced to long prison sentences if the jury determines that's what should happen?"
Despite her stated faith in the jury system, Williamson acknowledged that it's not always perfect, as some jury decisions "are fair, some of them are obviously unfair, but it's the best that we have."
Pool pressed the issue further, asking, "Do you think like a jury of white people from a wealthy suburb are going to be fair ... to like a black man accused of selling drugs?"
"That's why often it is, you know, there's a movement for a case to be tried elsewhere for that reason," responded Williamson. "I mean, that's part of the system that one can argue that this person could not get a fair trial in this area."
Pool then asked whether it would be acceptable if a judge indicated that "a fair trial would not be possible, so we're going to do it here anyway."
"I don't think that would be right. And somebody would be petitioning somebody," said Williamson. "I mean, even in those cases, there is such a thing as judicial prejudice. Someone would be arguing for judicial prejudice. ... I would be the first to say, 'This is wrong.'"
The host then put it to Williamson: "So will you stand up in defense of Derek Chauvin?"
Williamson was visibly stunned by the question, muttering, "Uh, wow."
After repeating Chauvin's name, Williamson fell silent, held her head, and looked off blankly to the side with mouth agape.
Chauvin's defense attorney attempted to change the location of his murder trial in March 2021, arguing that a jury pool would be greatly influenced by the then-recent news of Minneapolis' settlement with George Floyd's family, reported NPR.
"You have elected officials — the governor, the mayor — making incredibly prejudicial statements about my client, this case," said defense attorney Eric Nelson, reported the MinnPost. "You have the city settling a civil lawsuit for a record amount of money. And the pretrial publicity is just so concerning."
"I do not think that that would give the defendant any kind of a fair trial beyond what we are doing here today," responded Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill. "I don't think there's any place in the state of Minnesota that has not been subjected to extreme amounts of publicity on this case."
Cahill previously admitted he was "a little shocked" when two jurors admitted the Floyd-Minneapolis settlement "did move them off being fair and impartial."
"I was surprised that it had such an effect," said the judge.
One of the jurors was seen in photos taken before the trial wearing a BLM baseball cap and a T-shirt that said, "Get your knee off our necks."
According to the U.S. and Minnesota constitutions, individuals facing criminal prosecution have right to trial by an impartial jury.
After puzzling over Pool's question for a moment, Williamson attempted to defend Judge Cahill's decision, suggesting it was an "overriding circumstance."
"Wasn't there some legitimacy to that given the fact that everybody saw the video?" said the Democrat. "So how could there be a lack of prejudice anywhere?"
"So the question is about the Constitution and what is fair in the court of law, not what we want to have happen because of our feelings," said Pool. "So if the issue is the issue is a judge says, 'There will be no fair trial for you,' my argument is that there's no trial at all and the man should be released because that's a limitation of our democratic system."
Williamson, who tried her hand at becoming the president of the U.S. in 2020, ultimately disagreed with the host's suggestion that a fair trial is necessary for a court to imprison an American citizen.
Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in spring 2021 and sentenced to 22.5 years in prison.
He was stabbed 22 times last month at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona, by a former FBI informant.
