They’re afraid to go out of the house.”
Referring to a survey on partisan attitudes towards the virus, Maher said, “The question was, what do you think the chances are that you would have to go to the hospital if you got COVID? And Democrats thought that was way higher than Republicans. 41% of [Democrats] — and the answer is between 1% and 5%. 41% of Democrats thought it was over 50%. Another 28% thought it was 20% to 49%. So, 70% of Democrats thought it was way, way, way higher than it really was. Liberal media has to take a little responsibility for that, for scaring the [bleep] out of people.
&#8220;And the reason why I’m bringing this up is because it’s much harder for every touring act to sell tickets in blue states,&#8221; Maher continued. &#8220;They’re afraid to go out of the house. Whereas in red states, it’s all good to go.”
As Progressive as he typically is, Maher is right about the media-induced panic, although he&#8217;s wrong to call them &#8220;liberal.&#8221; The media are enablers of the left&#8217;s totalitarian agenda, which includes weaponizing the coronavirus to seize political power and to control the populace.

Maher: ‘Liberal Media’ Must Take ‘Responsibility’ for COVID Scare

Democrat lawmakers have called on Facebook CEO <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/mark-zuckerberg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Zuckerberg</a> to drop his plans for an “Instagram for Kids” app following recently-released internal research by Instagram that showed that the platform has had a terrible effect on the mental health of its teen users, especially girls, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/09/16/toxic-for-girls-lawmakers-call-on-zuckerberg-to-drop-instagram-for-kids-plan-after-mental-health-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Breitbart News</a>.
The researchers concluded that a significant number of teen girls that use Instagram develop body image issues and an increase in anxiety and depression.
Following this report, lawmakers began calling on Zuckerberg to abandon plans to create an “Instagram for Kids” app: “Children and teens are uniquely vulnerable populations online, and these findings paint a clear and devastating picture of Instagram as an app that poses significant threats to young people’s wellbeing,” reads a letter signed by Sen. Ed Markey and Representatives Kathy Castor and Lori Trahan.
The lawmakers added: “When given the opportunity to come clean to us about their knowledge of Instagram’s impact on young users, Facebook provided evasive answers that were misleading and covered up clear evidence of significant harm.”
Markey, Castor, and Trahan concluded, “As the internet—and social media specifically—becomes increasingly engrained in children and teens’ lives, we are deeply concerned that your company continues to fail in its obligation to protect young users and has yet to commit to halt its plans to launch new platforms targeting children and teens.”

Lawmakers Call on Zuckerberg to Drop ‘Instagram for Kids’ Plan

Iran-backed terrorist group <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/organizations/hezbollah-hizbollah" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hezbollah</a> <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/09/16/hezbollah-terrorists-defy-u-s-and-deliver-iranian-fuel-to-cheers-in-lebanon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brought its first promised shipment of Iranian fuel</a> into Lebanon on Thursday via truck from a port in Syria, in defiance of U.S. sanctions.
“This is a very big and great thing for us because we broke the siege of America and foreign countries,” a Hezbollah supporter in Lebanon told the Associated Press on Thursday. “We are working with the help of God and our great mother Iran.”
Hezbollah leaders disregarded warnings from the U.S. and Lebanese governments that they were not authorized to import the fuel and were violating U.S. sanctions against Iran.
Hezbollah leader Sayyed <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/hassan-nasrallah" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hassan Nasrallah</a> warned the U.S. and Israel not to intercept Iran’s fuel tankers when they set sail in mid-August.
Hezbollah declared on Thursday it has “broken the American siege” on Lebanon by bringing in fuel, while Iranian media lauded Nasrallah as the “savior of Lebanon,” hailed the Iran-Syria-Lebanon shipment as “the triangle of resistance that shattered American hegemony,” and jeered at Iran’s rivals in Saudi Arabia for doing nothing to resolve the Lebanese energy crisis.
Yet another sign that America&#8217;s enemies do not fear or respect the feckless Biden administration.

<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/09/15/plouffe-republicans-speaking-to-their-sick-perverted-one-third-of-the-country-injected-by-fox-news-breitbart/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wednesday on MSNBC’s The ReidOut</a>, hosted by racist propagandist <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/joy-reid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Reid</a>, Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign manager David Plouffe declared that Republican politicians were “speaking to their sick, perverted one-third of the country,” which he claimed got “injected by Fox News and Sinclair and Breitbart.”
After Reid smeared Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis as &#8220;a sociopath&#8221; who wants &#8220;to inflict death on schoolchildren,&#8221; Plouffe said, “I think these governors, legislative leaders who have stood in the way of vaccinations, who belittled COVID, who don’t want masks in school — here’s the thing, we’re basically two-thirds of the country in support of mask mandates in schools.
&#8220;So again, they’re speaking to their sick, perverted one-third of the country, you know that gets injected by Fox News and Sinclair and Breitbart, all the stuff. Listen, I believe today, Joy, the only country that has a worse COVID outbreak than the United States is Mongolia. So if you can’t make something of that politically as tragic as that is, maybe you don’t deserve to be in politics.”
If anyone is sick and perverted, it is the Democrat hate-mongers like this who have weaponized COVID to seize unprecedented power and then to demonize their political opponents as &#8220;bioterrorists&#8221; who should be targeted in drone strikes, as another MSNBC guest said recently.

Reid Guest: GOP Speaking to ‘Sick, Perverted 1/3 of Country’

Just 18 of 53 legislators in the <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/organizations/congressional-black-caucus-cbc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Congressional Black Caucus (CBC)</a> signed a letter urging top Democrats to push four big unpopular amnesties through Congress, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2021/09/15/powerful-congressional-black-caucus-divided-over-amnesty-bill/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Breitbart News</a>.
Thirty-five CBC legislators did not sign the letter — and the 18 signers mostly come from districts where black voters are in the minority. The 2:1 split spotlights the unpopularity of the proposed amnesties among blacks, despite top-level pressure by Democratic leaders, business leaders, and the pro-migration media.
Amnesty is unpopular among blacks because legal and illegal immigrants have long suppressed blacks’ wages, spiked their rents, and diluted their political power and cultural clout. This economic pressure was briefly reversed under President Donald Trump’s lower-immigration policies, allowing black wages to rise and black poverty to drop.
The pro-amnesty September 10 letter reads:
<blockquote>As members of the Congressional Black Caucus, we write to reiterate our strong support for including a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, essential immigrant workers, farm workers, and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders in the final version of the Build Back Better reconciliation bill.</blockquote>
“The pandemic has exacerbated deep racial, gender, and economic inequities, so it is imperative that we take this opportunity to ease those divides and begin working towards an equitable recovery,” the letter adds.
But legislation that prioritizes illegal aliens is not &#8220;equitable&#8221; for black Americans.

Congressional Black Caucus Divided Over Amnesty Bill

<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/09/15/lieu-milley-did-the-right-thing-circumventing-potential-illegal-order-of-rogue-nuclear-launch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wednesday on MSNBC’s The Beat</a>, hate-mongering radical Rep. <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/ted-lieu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Lieu</a> said traitorous Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was doing his duty by taking steps to not follow an illegal order in the final days of Donald Trump’s presidency.
Asked about Bob Woodward and Robert Costa’s forthcoming book claim that Milley took steps to prevent Trump from launching nuclear weapons and called his counterpart in China to assure our enemy that he would alert them to an imminent attack, Lieu replied, “I previously served in active duty as a JAG. What General Milley was referring to was a rogue nuclear launch.  That would be an illegal order. Military members do not carry out legal orders. General Milley absolutely did the right thing by trying to prevent anybody from carrying out illegal orders.”
Fact check: Trump never issued or even threatened to issue such an order. Milley took it upon himself to commit treason simply because he was part of the Deep State hell-bent on undermining President Trump.
Lieu supports committing treason against a President whom he dislikes, and MSNBC framed the whole issue in a way that supports that treason.
