Put Biden’s Senate archives online and crowdsource them like happened with Sarah Palin’s email archives

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 04, 2020 13 Comments

Joe Biden doesn't want people going through his Senate archives housed at the University of Delaware before the 2020 general election. Biden struck a deal that would keep the archives hidden from the public until two years after Biden leaves public life. But with the sexual assault allegation from Tara Reade, those archives have come into focus.

Sec. of Senate says “no discretion” to release any info on Tara Reade, while Biden and DNC still refuse U. Delaware archives search

Posted by Mary Chastain on May 04, 2020 20 Comments

The Senate Secretary said the office has "no discretion to disclose any such information" when it comes to presumptive 2020 Democratic candidate Joe Biden's records concerning Tara Reade, who alleges he sexually assaulted her in 1993. This comes a day after The New York Times editorial board suggested the DNC form an "unbiased, apolitical panel" to investigate sexual assault allegations against Biden. DNC Chairman Tom Perez brushed aside the idea of a panel.

Investigation: The Islamist Origins of Anti-Israel Activists’ Coronavirus Narratives

Posted by Samantha Mandeles on May 03, 2020 4 Comments

In April 2020, we published an in-depth investigation: How Anti-Israel Activists Are Hijacking The Coronavirus Crisis And Turning It Against Israel. Our research demonstrated how proponents of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel have exploited the COVID-19 pandemic: namely, blaming the Jewish state and its supporters for as many aspects of the outbreak as possible. Now, we've taken a closer look at how international Arab, Muslim, and especially Palestinian sources have rhetorically weaponized the virus against Israel. And it's clear that the BDS campaign's appropriation of COVID-19 is only part of a larger effort to fold the pandemic into pre-existing anti-Zionist and anti-Jewish ideology.

Biden Still Resists Search of His Senate Archives Housed At U. Delaware for Info. on Tara Reade

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on May 03, 2020 36 Comments

The Tara Reade allegations are not going away, and with the mainstream media even asking for the Delaware senate records to be searched, it looks like Joe Biden is in a real bind.

Federal Appeals Court Bars Kentucky From Banning Drive-Up Church Services

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 03, 2020 20 Comments

We have followed several court cases involving bans on drive-in church services, including on in Louisville, Kentucky, and another in Greenville, Mississippi. We addressed likely litigation in the age of pandemic at our April 26, 2020, live event, Constitutional Rights in the Age of Government Overreach. To the extent there is a pattern emerging, it is that the state cannot bar religious services where CDC social distancing and related precautions are followed, if the state also allows drive-up and drive-through practices for secular institutions like fast food and liquor stores.

Ohio Gov.: Mandatory Face Mask Order Was “just a bridge too far”

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on May 03, 2020 73 Comments

As states, cities, and towns are slowly moving to reopen, many are issuing mandatory face mask orders requiring the public to wear a face mask when not in their homes or cars (or in an open air area). This, as you might expect, is not going over very well. At all.

“Socialism is what would happen if” we didn’t provide “emergency relief that will allow these industries to get back on their feet”

The ascendancy of Donald Trump to the presidency in the 2016 election shocked the world, but it did not shock Michael Johns, Sr., the national co-founder, one of the leaders, and a prominent national leader of the U.S. Tea Party movement.
