“Look at the difference in the handling of Governor DeSantis versus Andrew Cuomo,” Trump Jr. said. “Andrew Cuomo gets Emmys for sending your grandmother to her nursing home to her death, OK? Governor DeSantis got more hell in Florida for keeping beaches open, for keeping beaches open, with social distancing and masks than Andrew Cuomo got for executive orders sending people into nursing homes to die&#8230;
“Governor DeSantis gets more hell for various decisions for taking on the press than Andrew Cuomo does for having credible accusations of sexual harassment and other harassment,” Trump continued. “There is a double standard that’s out there. I think that people in America see it, which is why the mainstream media’s approval rating is almost as low as Congress’.”

Two other charges — DWI and reckless driving — were dismissed. Springsteen was fined $540.
“I’d say it’s white privilege but we all know it’s really liberal privilege,” tweeted Trump Jr.

Trump Jr. Slams Media Double Standard on Cuomo, Springsteen

Republican Sen. Ben Sasse on Thursday slammed <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/xavier-becerra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xavier Becerra</a>, President <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/joe-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>’s nominee for Health and Human Services secretary, as being &#8220;a hell of a lot more dangerous&#8221; to the country than Neera Tanden, the president’s pick for director of the Office of Management and Budget.
“Ron Klain and Chuck Schumer know that Xavier Becerra is a wolf who can’t be dressed in sheep’s clothing, so they’re using Neera Tanden as a decoy,” <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/25/ben-sasse-slams-xavier-becerra-hell-of-a-lot-more-dangerous-than-neera-tanden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sasse told National Review</a>. “While the beltway talks endlessly about which senators got mean tweets from a lefty activist, a wannabe tyrant with a nasty record of attacking the First Amendment is going to quietly become the leader of the federal government’s largest agency. Becerra has shown nothing but contempt for free speech and religious liberty — he’s a hell of a lot more dangerous than Tanden.”
Even before Becerra’s hearing, eleven Senate Republicans wrote to Biden calling on him to withdraw the nomination. “We write to express our grave concerns regarding the nomination of California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to serve as the next Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS),” the letter read. “Mr. Becerra’s lack of healthcare experience, enthusiasm for replacing private health insurance with government-run Medicare-for-all, and embrace of radical policies on immigration, abortion, and religious liberty, render him unfit for any position of public trust, and especially for HHS Secretary.”
The Conservative Action Project and the Conservative Partnership Institute added in an open letter that Becerra “is an extremist nominee who will carry the agendas of liberal dark money groups to his administration post if confirmed.”
Wednesday during his  Senate confirmation hearing, Becerra refused to state whether or not he supported any restriction whatsoever on abortions, including those intended to end the life of babies with a prenatal disability diagnosis of Down syndrome or partial-birth abortions. “Is there any line you would draw?” pressed Rep. Steve Daines. &#8220;Is there just one – just one restriction that relates to abortion that you might support?” Becerra would not say. That says it all.

Sasse: Becerra ‘Hell of a Lot More Dangerous’ than Neera Tanden

<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/24/former-staffer-accuses-gov-andrew-cuomo-of-sexual-harassment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a blog post published Wednesday at Medium</a>, a former aide has accused embattled, lethally incompetent New York Gov. <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/andrew-cuomo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andrew Cuomo</a> of sexual harassment.
Lindsey Boylan, the former deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to Cuomo, claimed he repeatedly touched her body, attempted to kiss her on the mouth, invited her to play “strip poker,” and overtly objectified her. She documented these claims in the blog post with screenshots of emails and texts.
Boylan added that Cuomo’s top female staff members “normalized” the governor’s conduct. In 2018, she says, after Cuomo allegedly kissed her without consent, &#8220;I came to work nauseous every day. My relationship with his senior team — mostly women — grew hostile after I started speaking up for myself. I was reprimanded and told to get in line by his top aides, but I could no longer ignore it,&#8221; so she resigned.
These damning allegations come as Cuomo&#8217;s career is already going down in flames. After spending all of 2020 falsely blaming former President Trump for mishandling the coronavirus, and publishing a book touting himself as a hero of the pandemic, Cuomo has been exposed for trying to suppress the truth about skyrocketing nursing home coronavirus deaths in his state for fear of a federal investigation &#8212; which is now underway.
He has also been exposed by a fellow Democrat, New York Rep. Ron Kim, for threatening to destroy Kim&#8217;s career over revelations of the coronavirus scandal. NYC Mayor <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/bill-de-blasio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill de Blasio</a> has thrown Cuomo under the bus, siding with Rep. Kim, and New York state lawmakers are calling for Cuomo’s emergency powers to be stripped from him. Even fellow Democrats are beginning to call for Cuomo&#8217;s resignation or recall.
“Governor Cuomo has earned his title as Worst Governor in America, and now every New Yorker knows that he is a criminal sexual predator,” NY Rep. Elise Stefanik, a Republican, declared in a statement.

Former Staffer Accuses Gov. Cuomo of Sexual Harassment

<div class="entry-content">
<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/23/ayanna-pressley-federal-job-guarantee-lays-foundation-economic-justice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Monday on Twitter</a>, radical &#8220;Squad&#8221; congresswoman <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/ayanna-pressley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ayanna Pressley</a> renewed her call for a federal job guarantee, claiming it “lays the foundation for economic justice &amp; freedom.”
“A reliable job. A living wage. A federal job guarantee lays the foundation for economic justice &amp; freedom,” Pressley tweeted, after introducing a resolution last week for the government to “provide every person with an enforceable legal right to a quality job.”
&#8220;By ensuring everyone has access to a good job with dignified wages, safe working conditions, health care and other benefits—including full worker rights and union protections—a federal job guarantee would address the current jobs crisis while laying the foundation for an equitable economic recovery,&#8221; the resolution stated.
Fact check: it would do neither of those things. You know who was solving the jobs crisis and boosting economic recovery for minorities? Former President Trump and capitalism, not Ayanna Pressley and the federal government.
A &#8220;permanent job guarantee,&#8221; Pressley declared, would protect the economy from recession and make it &#8220;more resilient as well as more&#8221; &#8212; wait for it &#8212; &#8220;inclusive,&#8221; by ensuring employment for those she claims are discriminated against in the job market: &#8220;Black, Latinx [sic], and Indigenous workers&#8221; and &#8220;transgender people, caregivers, and people with criminal records.&#8221; Newsflash: discrimination is already against the law.
Pay would begin at $15 per hour and would include full benefits: health insurance, paid sick days and family medical leave, vacation, and retirement benefits.
Among the vaguely-worded examples of “guaranteed projects” the government would provide are “producing works of public art and documentation,” and “augmenting the staffing of public education and early childhood learning.”
Just what this country needs: taxpayers footing the bill for millions of unskilled, uneducated, and unambitious adults to have full-time jobs creating ugly public art and &#8220;augmenting&#8221; the social justice indoctrination of schoolkids.
“It’s time to establish a legal right to a job for all people in America,” Pressley wrote in a statement. “For years, we have legislated hate, harm and injustice in this country.” It&#8217;s unclear which laws she was referring to that legislate hate, harm, and injustice &#8212; perhaps because there aren&#8217;t any. “It’s long past time to pursue bold, intentional policies that affirm equity and recognize the dignity and humanity of all people.”
First, there is no freedom, dignity and humanity in having the federal government force an employer to give you a job, or hire you for meaningless make-work like creating public &#8220;art.&#8221; Second, where is the money going to come from for this big-government boondoggle? Third, this will not create a stable, &#8220;equitable&#8221; economic system for all, but will absolutely eradicate small businesses, destroy the middle class, and eliminate innovation and growth in every field.
But that&#8217;s the Progressive way.

Pressley: Legislate a Federal Job Guarantee ‘for Economic Justice’

<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/02/22/raskin-trump-remains-a-clear-and-present-danger-to-the-american-people/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Monday on ABC’s Progressive propaganda gab-fest The View</a>, Rep. <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/jamie-raskin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamie Raskin</a> declared that former President Trump “remains a clear and present danger to the American people.”
“I think we need to confront his criminality, his corruption, and his dangerousness every single day,&#8221; claimed Raskin, a rising Democrat superstar. &#8220;As long as he’s still out there, he remains a clear and present danger to the American people.&#8221;
As long as he&#8217;s still out there? Perhaps Raskin wishes someone would eliminate Trump once and for all. It&#8217;s as if he is paraphrasing Henry II&#8217;s complaint of Archbishop Becket, &#8220;Will no one rid us of this troublesome ex-President?&#8221;
&#8220;He spent four years in office cozying up to every dictator and despot on earth, from Putin in Russia to Orbán in Hungary to Duterte in the Philippines, el-Sisi in Egypt,&#8221; Raskin continued. &#8220;You find a criminal in public office, that was Donald Trump’s guy. They’re going to be, you know, sending Jared Kushner out there on a globetrotting tour of every kleptocracy and autocracy on earth in order to collect the money they feel they deserve from having worked with all of these regimes.”
“That money will be used to try to get Donald Trump to return to the White House,” he added. “Of course, if he were to ever able to get back in, he would try to stay forever. He was already talking about a third term and how the Democrats owed him more terms and so on. So I think he remains a very clear and viable threat to the American republic and obviously to the Republican Party. He is likely to destroy the Republican party because of his authoritarianism and his determination to remain a cult leader.”
To borrow from Mary McCarthy&#8217;s slam against Communist playwright Lillian Hellman, every word of Raskin&#8217;s smear is a lie, including &#8220;and&#8221; and &#8220;the.&#8221; His fear-mongering nonsense is designed to further demonize a man who, even though out of office, has been and remains the biggest political threat to the left&#8217;s seizure of power.

Raskin: Trump ‘Remains a Clear and Present Danger’ to America

<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/18/sschool-board-members-caught-mocking-parents-urging-reopening-of-schools-they-want-their-babysitters-back/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During a virtual school board meeting on Wednesday</a>, some members of the Oakley Union Elementary School District Board of Trustees in California were caught in a hot mic moment mocking and swearing at the parents of the children in their charge. Parents subsequently posted the video online and launched a <a href="https://www.change.org/p/registrar-of-voters-contra-costa-county-recall-oakley-union-elementary-school-district-board/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">petition at change.org</a> calling for the immediate resignation of the board members.
The video shows trustee Kim Beede first asking her fellow board members, “Are we alone?” before sharing her profane, bullying reaction to one parent: “Bitch, if you’re going to call me out, I’m going to f**k you up!” The other board members find this hilarious.
The video also shows board member Richie Masadas claiming parents want schools to reopen so they can get back to smoking pot. “When you got your kids at home, no more smoking dope,” he jokes. &#8220;That&#8217;s awesome,&#8221; Beede replies amid more cackling laughter.
A third board member, Lisa Brizendine, complains of parents that “It’s really unfortunate they want to pick on us because they want their babysitters back.”
A parent who posted the video to YouTube wrote, &#8220;This behavior is disgusting. As parents we should not tolerate for our representatives to behave in this manner. Oakley needs a new school board that will stand up for parents and their children.&#8221;
Thursday the superintendent of the Oakley school district issued a statement calling the board members’ comments “unfortunate” and “truly inappropriate” and that students “deserve better.”
Parents and students do deserve better. At the very least, parents deserve respect from school board members who, it should be emphasized, are elected and funded by <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/organizations/california-teachers-association-cta/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teachers unions</a> (like the <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/organizations/national-education-association-nea/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Education Association</a>, America&#8217;s largest labor union) whose top priority is not education but amassing political power and throwing their weight around. Schoolchildren deserve not to be manipulated as pawns in the unions&#8217; exploitation of the pandemic restrictions.
Rather than the resignation of the Oakley Union Board of Trustees, California parents and schoolchildren would be better served by the disbanding of teachers unions altogether.
