Right wing nutjobs like yourself and trolls like Alex Jones are not nearly as numerous as you . You “contributions” to use the term usely won’t be missed. Go ahead retreat evn further to your insular fantasy world of alternative facts and fake news with your own echo chambers and specialty communication networks just for the true believers. It will actually do us a favour, the first step in keeping a disease from spreading is to isolate the infected from the rest of society. So hurry and go already.

Jeez can’t even call someone a RWNJ around here anymore. Does that mean Fiddle is getting a warning for the above?

New York Republican Rep. Chris Collins indicted on insider trading charges

(CNN) — Federal prosecutors on Wednesday charged New York Republican Rep. Chris Collins, his son and another man with 13 counts of securities fraud, wire fraud and false statements stemming from an alleged insider trading scheme centered on an Australian pharmaceutical company.

Collins, who was the first sitting member of Congress to endorse Donald Trump's presidential bid, surrendered Wednesday morning at his attorney's office in Manhattan, according to the FBI.

Prosecutors at the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York alleged in an indictment that Collins and the other defendants acted on nonpublic information about the results of a drug trial and used it to trade on the stock of the pharmaceutical company, Innate Immunotherapeutics Limited, of which Collins was a board member....

Trump-Aligned GOP Candidate In Florida Caught With A Fake College Diploma



A Republican running for a seat in Florida’s State House has been caught with a degree that’s about as credible as one from Trump University, according to FLA News.

According to the report, GOP House candidate Melissa Howard posed for a picture with a degree from Miami University in Ohio to silence those who accused her of faking her diploma.


The only problem, according to the report, is that the degree is fake. Not only is there no record of her earning the diploma, but the university said they don’t even offer the degree she claims to have received.

More from the report:

According to Miami University, Howard did attend but there is no record of her earning a degree either in 1994, which she initially claimed, or in 1996, which she later claimed.

The degree Howard was holding in the picture contains inconsistencies, according to the university’s general counsel.

Miami University does not offer a Bachelor of Science in Marketing, instead it offers a Bachelor of Science in Business. Howard’s major while attending Miami University was Retailing and if she had graduated would have received a Bachelor of Science in Family and Consumer Sciences.

FLA News added, “Howard removed the diploma pictures from Facebook as her story of earning a Bachelor of Science in Marketing began to unravel.”

Southern California’s Holy Fire, sparked on Monday, has already scorched more than 18,000 acres as of Friday morning and forced over 20,000 residents to flee.

Now, authorities have identified the man suspected of igniting the massive blaze.

On Wednesday, local officials arrested 51-year-old Forrest Gordon Clark, charging him with two counts of felony arson, as well as another felony charge of threatening to terrorize.

After the charges were announced, the Washington Post reported that Clark had texted a local firefighter before the fire that the area was “going to burn just like we planned.” (It was unclear who else Clark may have been referring to). Clark is currently being held on $1 million bond.

While Clark hasn’t announced his rationale for allegedly sparking the blaze — one of 18 fires that are currently raging across California, including the largest wildfire in the state’s history — he appears to have a lengthy history of mental illness.

A glimpse through his social media presence also offers a clue into the world of conspiracy in which Clark, who claimed he could read minds, lived.

JJ MacNab, who covers anti-government extremism for Forbes, first identified Clark’s Facebook profile. A quick skim reveals just how many conspiracy theories Clark promulgated — and why he may have allegedly started the fire in the first place. Indeed, it appears there was no conspiracy theory too ludicrous for Clark to buy into.

For instance, Clark recently started pushing messaging around “QAnon,” a bizarre theory that a global Deep State network is trying to bring down President Donald Trump in order to further their nefarious aims. While there’s no indication Clark was among the QAnon supporters who have become increasingly prominent at Trump rallies, he nonetheless pushed pro-QAnon videos on his page.

Likewise, Clark appeared to be a fan of Alex Jones and InfoWars, which were recently banned by platforms like Apple and Facebook. Among the most popular theories Clark promoted on social media: notions that tragic events like the 9/11 attacks and the Sandy Hook shooting were “false flags.”

For good measure, Clark also pushed other Deep State-style conspiracy theories, including Agenda 21 — which claims the United Nations will effectively eliminate Americans’ sovereign rights — and Jade Helm, which posited that a 2015 military exercise would provide cover for the Obama administration to impose martial law.

There’s also indication Clark may have leaned on some of these conspiracy theories when looking for justification for allegedly setting the massive fire. Clark, who wrote on Facebook that he “will see the soon Coming of our LORD in the Clouds of Glory!”, posted late last year that the fires in California were direct evidence that Agenda 21 was afoot. The video claims that the fires show that “we’re seeing Agenda 21 in action,” adding that “Agenda 21 is here.”

Clark doesn’t seem to have posted on Facebook in nearly a month. However, it doesn’t appear that his belief in any and all conspiracy theories waned over the past few months. In his last posting, on July 18, Clark posted another video claiming that drinking a “special juice” will make cancer “die in just 42 hours!” The secret ingredient? Beets.

At some point, you have to start to admire white nationalist Jason Kessler’s seemingly natural ability to consistently own himself.

Kessler was already the laughing stock of the internet after his much-hyped “Unite the Right 2” rally in Washington, D.C. drew barely two dozen demonstrators but over a thousand counter-protesters. Kessler spent most of the day being shepherded around by police, and when he finally did get to speak, he admitted his rally had been an utter failure.

Now, just three days later, Kessler’s suffered a new humiliation. A short video has surfaced of him chatting with fellow white supremacist Patrick Little — best known for his vicious anti-Semitism — in June. The pair are seen chatting before a voice in the background can be heard to yell, “Hey, you get out of my room!”

Little then asks if Kessler has a “drunk roommate” with him and an awkward pause follows. Eventually Kessler admits that the voice belongs to his father.

“Basically the deal is my family watches American History channel and it’s constant anti-German propaganda,” Kessler says. “I’m stuck in a situation where I have to stay with my family because I’m paying for all these lawsuits and I can’t afford to do that without staying with my family, but they’re cucked.”

Tragically, Little also admits that his rabid anti-Semitism had caused things to become “pretty expensive.” But, in true mid-life crisis style, Little then brags that, even if “Shlomo” manages to get him evicted from his apartment, he can always go live on his boat, which boasts such luxurious amenities as three beds, hot water, and a shower. Little admits, however, that he’s going to have to start to rent out the boat soon in order to raise funds.

Earlier this year, Little sought the Republican nomination for a California Senate seat. An April poll reported that up to 20 percent of California voters would be supporting his campaign, but those numbers didn’t hold come voting day. In June, Little received just 1.4 percent of the vote, landing him a lowly 12th place on the ballot. Little has refused to give up his anti-Semitism, however, and blamed “Jewish supremacists and Zionists” for his electoral failure.

A middle school in Achille, Oklahoma is closed following violent threats by parents on social media against Maddie, a 12-year-old transgender student who identifies as female and used the girls’ bathroom.

Maddie had been using the staff bathroom at her old school but used the girls’ bathroom at the new school because she wasn’t sure where the staff bathroom was. She was then accused of peeping under a bathroom stall. Her mother said it was probably because she “leans very far forward to use the bathroom.”

Then the threats began on a private parents’ Facebook group for the school. The parents called Maddie “it” and “thing”, suggested that her genitalia be mutilated to make her female (“a good sharp knife will do the job real quick”). One said it was “hunting season on them kind” and said there was “no bag limit.”

Maddie’s mother Brandy Rose said she fears for her life: “These are adults making threats– I don’t understand it. She’s an awesome kid. To see any fear in her, I can’t explain how bad that hurts me for them to hurt her.”

KXII reports: “The sheriff said the mother filed a protective order against one parent but no other arrests have been made, however several agencies including the FBI are stepping in to see if any comments constitute a hate crime.”

Twitter says it has permanently suspended the accounts of Alex Jones and his Infowars website.

It made the move after a number of tweets that violated Twitter's abusive behaviour policy, the company said.

A number of tech giants, including YouTube and Facebook, deleted the right-wing conspiracy theorist's content last month, citing hate speech.

The radio host is best known for spreading unsubstantiated allegations about tragic events, including 9/11.

He is currently being sued for defamation by the parents of two children killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, which he has repeatedly claimed was a "giant hoax". Twenty children under the age of seven and six adults died in the attack.

Twitter said the ban was a result of "new reports of tweets and videos posted yesterday that violate our abusive behaviour policy, in addition to the accounts' past violations".

It did not specify what the violations were.
