Maxine Waters Claims Right-Wing Groups Are “Training Up In The Hills Somewhere” For Civil War If Trump Loses

– Maxine Waters Claims Right-Wing Groups Are “Training Up In The Hills Somewhere” For Civil War If Trump Loses:

Donald Trump “is a dangerous human being,” according to none other than violence-instigator Rep. Maxine Waters.
During an interview on MSNBC (of course), the aging congresswoman was asked about whether former President Trump would accept the results of the 2024 election if he does not win.
Something must have snapped in her mind because what came out of her mouth next was, well, surprising to many:
“This is a man we better be careful about and I’ll tell you what I’m going to do, I’m going to ask the Justice Department and I’m going to ask the president to tell us what they’re going to do to protect this country against violence if he loses,” Waters exclaimed breathlessly.
“I want to know about all of those right-wing organizations that he’s connected with who are training up in the hills somewhere and targeting you know what communities they’re going to attack,” she added.

“They are planning on a civil war if they have to do that,” the Congresswoman concluded, adding that “Donald Trump is a pure racist… and I am worried that the attack is going to be on people of color.”

Texas AG Threatens “Every Possible Response” After Defiant Austin Allows “Gender Affirming” Care For Minors
– Texas AG Threatens “Every Possible Response” After Defiant Austin Allows “Gender Affirming” Care For Minors:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has responded to a defiant decision by the Austin City Council (ACC), which voted on Thursday to ignore a state law which prohibits “gender transitioning or gender reassignment procedure or treatment” for minors under the age of 18.
In a 10-1 vote, the ACC passed the resolution which directs city resources away from SB 14.
Paxton Responds
“On May 2, 2024, the Austin City Council passed a resolution that purportedly directs the city manager and city employees not to comply with Texas’s prohibition of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and invasive surgeries for children who believe their gender is different than their biological sex,” Paxton said in response.
“Riddled with problems, the resolution starts with the falsehood that such prohibited treatments have ‘proven to be evidence-based, medically necessary, and lifesaving.’ In addition to a growing body of medical research rejecting such claims, Texas concluded that the proposed treatments for minors are dangerous, and banned the practices by passing SB 14,” he said.
Paxton says his office stands ready to ensure Austin follows state law.
“If the City of Austin refuses to follow the law and protect children, my office will consider every possible response to ensure compliance,” he said. “Texas municipalities do not have the authority to pick and choose which state laws they will or will not abide by. The people of Texas have spoken, and the Austin City Council must listen.”
As the Epoch Times notes further, the resolution was introduced by Council Member Chito Vela, who represents District 4. It was co-sponsored by four other council members—Ryan Alter, Zo Qadri, José Velásquez, and Vanessa Fuentes.
The one no vote was Council Member Mackenzie Kelly of District 6.

Book Burning Goes Digital
– Book Burning Goes Digital:
In March 2021, the Biden White House initiated a brazenly unconstitutional censorship campaign to prevent Americans from buying politically unfavorable books from Amazon.
The effort, spearheaded by White House censors including Andy Slavitt and Rob Flaherty, began on March 2, 2021, when Slavitt emailed Amazon demanding to speak to an executive about the site’s “high levels of propaganda and misinformation and disinformation.”
Their subsequent discussions remain unknown, but recently released emails from the House Judiciary Committee reveal that the censors achieved their intended result. Within a week, Amazon adopted a shadow ban policy.

Fraudulent Logic Guides The UK Smoking Ban
– Fraudulent Logic Guides The UK Smoking Ban:
It is the waning days of the Sunak premiership, and the Conservative party still has a stonking majority despite its cataclysmic capitulation in the polls. The government is effectively a lame duck; everyone knows it has no support, yet it will still be around for a few more months. One would think that since the Conservative party still has a large majority in the House of Commons that it would let loose with policy and attempt real reform so that the MPs have something to take to the people when election time begins.

Northern Gaza In Grip Of Full-Blown Famine, UN Food Agency Chief Says
– Northern Gaza In Grip Of Full-Blown Famine, UN Food Agency Chief Says:
Starting early last month the director of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) Samantha Power informed US lawmakers in Congress for the first time that the population in parts of northern Gaza have begun facing famine. This testimony served to hasten international efforts to more efficiently get aid into the Strip, such as the Pentagon’s Gaza pier project, though it didn’t put a halt of the Western weapons flowing to Tel Aviv.
Now, a top UN official has warned the crisis is worse than previously assessed. The head of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) Cindy McCain is now warning that northern Gaza is in the midst of a “full-blown famine”.
She further said that famine is “moving its way south” in a new NBC News interview set to air Sunday. She described that this is base on the humanitarian office’s assessment on the ground.
“It’s horror. It’s so hard to look at and it’s so hard to hear,” McCain told Meet the Press. “What we are asking for and what we continually ask for is a ceasefire and the ability to have unfettered access, to get in safe through the various ports and gate crossings.”
