A leftist U.S. government-funded “disinformation” tracker has been flagged for a major lack of transparency‚ despite its habitual smearing of right-leaning websites for allegedly committing the same offense.  The Washington Examiner reported on Jan. 29 that the anti-free speech Global Disinformation Index (GDI)‚ which received at least $100‚000 from the State Department’s Global Engagement Center‚ is lacking transparency. While GDI claims to rate online sites in part based on possible “conflicts of interests that can arise from opaque ownership structures‚” per the Examiner‚ GDI itself clearly doesn’t practice what it preaches. Despite marketing itself as a nonpartisan and objective arbiter online‚ GDI has proved to have a leftist bias when blacklisting outlets and doesn’t abide by its own rules‚ the Examiner found. Hypocrisy much?  The Examiner quoted Internet Accountability Project founder and president Mike Davis‚ who stated that “[t]he Global Disinformation Index is violating the law by hiding its disclosures.” Furthermore‚ GDI (which is under congressional investigation) continues to refuse disclosure of its “dynamic exclusion list” that companies such as Microsoft and Oracle used to block the placement of ads on right-leaning outlets. GDI weaponized the list to pressure companies to withdraw ad money from websites‚ a form of financial censorship. The  Examiner reported that it requested tax filings for the two U.S. branches of GDI: the charity Disinformation Index Inc. and the AN Foundation. GDI sent heavily redacted documents in response. A review of GDI’s tax filings on ProPublica‚ however‚ provides some details showcasing its incestuous relationship with the U.S. government and leftist financiers‚ the Examiner explained. Both the State Department-funded National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and leftist billionaire George Soros apparently donated hundreds of thousands of dollars in all to GDI in 2022 — $315‚750 and $150‚000 respectively. In 2023‚ the state of Texas filed a lawsuit against the State Department’s Global Engagement Center‚ the Examiner continued. This lawsuit cited NED’s funding to GDI.  Texas‚ The Daily Wire and The Federalist accused Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other officials of “egregious government operations to censor the American press” through funding GDI and its activities to blacklist conservative outlets. The two outlets were among those flagged by GDI for alleged “disinformation.” GDI also redacted its 2021 filings‚ the Examiner reported‚ claiming an IRS exemption for a “harassment campaign.” But watchdog group the National Legal and Policy Center subsequently argued in an IRS complaint that GDI was actually in violation of federal law.

Don’t blame Taylor Swift. Don’t blame Pfizer. Don’t blame Travis Kelce‚ the referees‚ or Roger Goodell. Blame Lamar Jackson‚ Zay Flowers‚ the Baltimore Ravens‚ and racial idolatry commentators like Ryan Clark and Robert Griffin III who litter sports media. They platformed Taylor Swift on American television’s biggest stage: Super Bowl LVIII. Jackson‚ Flowers‚ the Ravens‚ Clark‚ Griffin‚ and others handed the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday’s AFC championship game‚ 17-10. When you misidentify your real opponent and latch on to the wrong motivation‚ it’s not surprising when you come out of character‚ abandon your identity‚ and perform poorly. If you think Swift’s injection into the current NFL season has been a months-long psyop to inflate the pop star’s profile and influence so she can inevitably throw her weight behind the presidential campaign of Joe Biden or Michelle Obama‚ be mad at the right people today. Focus your angst and anger on the race pundits. They baited the Ravens into one of the biggest choke jobs we’ve seen in recent sports history. The NFL’s best team played with no composure and implemented a pass-heavy offensive strategy intended to crown Jackson rather than to beat the Chiefs. Jackson and the Ravens fell for a race hoax. It cost them their best chance to reach the Super Bowl during Jackson’s six-year career. Instead of crowning Jackson‚ Sunday further stamped Patrick Mahomes as being in a league of his own among the current crop of quarterbacks. Mahomes elevated his playoff record to 14-3. Jackson fell to 2-4. Don’t blame Taylor Swift for the Chiefs reaching their fourth Super Bowl in the last six years. Don’t blame the referees‚ either. If the refs rigged the AFC championship‚ they did so in favor of the Ravens. A series of bogus holding penalties late in the second quarter and early in the third allowed Baltimore to stay in a game that was decidedly one-sided everywhere except on the scoreboard. Kansas City should have led 28-7 midway through the third quarter. Instead‚ it was 17-7. If anything‚ it appeared the NFL wanted Lamar Jackson to advance to his first Super Bowl. Ever since draft day 2018‚ Jackson has been the lead actor in the league’s diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion narrative. Black quarterbacks — the highest-paid players in the NFL — are allegedly victims of NFL-sanctioned white supremacy. Jackson‚ the story goes‚ was the last pick of the first round six years ago because of racism. It had nothing to do with his awkward throwing motion or concerns about his downfield accuracy and ability to make plays from the pocket. Nope. Racism explained why Jackson was the 32nd pick. It’s the same reason Tom Brady was the 199th player selected in 2000. Oh‚ wait. Brady is white. Maybe evaluating college quarterbacks is hard? I digress. My point is the NFL and its media surrogates were rooting hard for Jackson. The predominantly black officiating crew might have been supporting Lamar‚ too. The NFL has emphasized “racial justice” ever since Colin Kaepernick started wearing an afro and taking a knee during the national anthem to demonstrate his authentic Halfrican-American roots. According to ESPN football analyst Ryan Clark‚ Jackson had a chance to be the first authentic black quarterback to win a Super Bowl. Doug Williams‚ Russell Wilson‚ and Patrick Mahomes do not really qualify. They don’t (or didn’t) wear cornrows or big gold chains or talk in a dialect that represents the so-called culture. Unable to be provocative‚ interesting‚ insightful‚ or useful on any topic beyond shouts of “white supremacy‚” black media elites have used Jackson and black assistant coaches as fodder and ammunition to justify their own existence. The racial victimization narrative inevitably works against the chosen symbol of it. Why did the Ravens wet the bed? Why did the best team in football implode with a lack of composure? Why did they come out of character and panic strategically and emotionally? Jackson and the Ravens were swept up in the false belief that Jackson’s win on Sunday was a giant step for mankind. They put unneeded pressure on themselves. The most physical team in football ran the ball just 16 times on Sunday. Jackson threw the ball 37 times. At least half of Jackson’s eight runs were scrambles when he was attempting to pass. Jackson‚ Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken‚ QB coach Tee Martin‚ assistant QB coach Kerry Dixon‚ and backup quarterbacks Tyrone Huntley and Josh Johnson all wanted to prove Lamar could go throw for throw with Patrick Mahomes. Lamar can’t do that. He’s not on Mahomes’ level as a passer. In the first half‚ when the game was decided‚ Jackson completed five of 13 passing attempts. The Ravens wasted the first 30 minutes of the game. By the second half‚ everyone on the Ravens was in full panic mode. The penalties and lack of emotional control reared themselves. With defenders around him‚ receiver Zay Flowers dove for the end zone with the ball exposed. That’s a breakdown in fundamentals‚ a byproduct of desperation. The Chiefs punched the ball loose. Jackson tossed a horrendous interception into triple coverage. Another panic move.The Ravens reminded me of Deontay Wilder before his second fight with Tyson Fury. The fight was in Las Vegas. I attended the fight with a group of friends. We were all rooting for Wilder‚ the American versus the Brit. Wilder entered the arena and the ring to a racialized rap song and was wearing some sort of African warrior garb. We all thought it was strange‚ disconcerting‚ and needlessly divisive. Wilder approached the fight as if it were a Civil War re-enactment and he was the Denzel Washington character from the movie “Glory.” Fury‚ who is white‚ proceeded to beat the brakes off Wilder‚ who is black. When you misidentify your real opponent and latch on to the wrong motivation‚ it’s not surprising when you come out of character‚ abandon your identity‚ and perform poorly. For 100 years‚ the identity of black Americans had been as strong Christians. As we’ve embraced politics and “racial justice” as our new religion and identity‚ we’ve come out of character and performed poorly. Lamar Jackson is just the latest victim of this pattern. Taylor Swift‚ a liberal feminist influencer‚ benefitted from the Ravens’ mistake. No surprise.

Despite her significant loss in the New Hampshire primary‚ Nikki Haley is “sticking around‚” says Dave Rubin before sharing a clip of a recent speech the Republican candidate gave. “With Donald Trump‚ Republicans have lost almost every competitive election – we lost the Senate‚ we lost the House‚ we lost the White House‚ we lost in 2018‚ we lost in 2020‚ and we lost in 2022‚” she fired‚ adding that “the worst-kept secret in politics is how badly the Democrats want to run against Donald Trump.” “I don’t think she’s completely wrong‚” Dave tells Sara Gonzales and Michael Malice‚ adding that he thinks Haley should at least stick around long enough for the South Carolina primary. “Getting your a** handed to in your home state is something that's really bad for your career long-term‚” says Malice‚ especially considering that “Tim Scott‚ the senator from that state‚ endorsed Trump.” “For a lot of conservatives‚ and they're completely correct‚ if Nikki Haley wins‚ the Republican party has lost because it's lost all the things that matter to it‚” he continues‚ noting that Haley “supports trans kids‚” is “a huge warmonger‚” and is “[not] fiscally conservative.” “There seems to be this idea that Nikki is actually just sticking around because Trump is going to select her as VP‚” as he “needs those women voters‚” says Dave. “The thing with Trump‚ though‚ is that he is just such a loyalist; he values loyalty over all‚ and Nikki Haley has been disloyal to him for too many years‚” says Sara.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is hitting the campaign trail for President Joe Biden. But he hit a speed bump on Sunday when ABC News anchor Jonathan Karl challenged Newsom's assertion that Biden is the best modern president.Speaking on ABC's "This Week‚" Newsom told Karl he agrees with Michelle Obama's fears about the upcoming election. To help Biden win‚ Newsom explained that he is hitting the campaign trail to inform voters of the "extraordinary successes" of the Biden administration. Emphasizing those alleged accomplishments‚ he said‚ will ensure Donald Trump doesn't win in November."It's not even a complicated campaign. We have the receipts. We have the best three-year record of any modern American presidency. Period. Full stop‚" Newsom asserted.But Karl quickly found the problem with Newsom's narrative."Except for the big thing: approval. Biden's approval is historically low‚" Karl noted. "Why is that?"Newsom‚ however‚ failed to form a coherent response and conveniently claimed that "everybody's approval" in the world is going down."Everybody ... everybody ... we're all ... everybody's approval — across the spectrum. You find exceptions to that. Look‚ it's been hard‚ globally‚ the last six‚ seven years‚" he said. Trump is ‘making democracy a partisan issue’: Gov. Gavin Newsom www.youtube.com As Karl implied‚ the data shows that what Newsom is selling simply isn't true.In fact‚ while Newsom claims Biden is the best president in modern American history‚ a recent Gallup analysis shows that that Biden is one of the worst modern American presidents‚ boasting the worst job approval rating since Jimmy Carter‚ a one-term president. Biden's average job-approval rating from Jan. 20‚ 2023‚ to Jan. 19‚ 2024‚ according to Gallup‚ was 39.8%. That's a problem for Biden because every president since Dwight Eisenhower who won re-election had a fourth-year approval rating average of at least 50%; Barack Obama was the only exception‚ when his fourth-year average approval rating topped out at 48.1%.That low approval rating‚ Gallup explained‚ means Biden has a "bigger hill to climb" if he wants to win re-election.

A woman said a Mississippi Walmart fired her for posting video of a toddler wearing only a diaper in the store on a 20-degree morning earlier this month.What are the details?Felecia Darling told WLBT-TV she began recording after the boy’s mother entered the Byram store and put him in a cold shopping basket only wearing a diaper. The station in a previous story said the incident occurred at 10:30 a.m. Jan. 17.Darling added to WLBT that she took off her black coat and put it on the toddler after several shoppers approached the boy’s mother."You’re a mother‚ a child represents you‚” Darling noted to the station. “And if you come in the store fully clothed‚ and your son is not‚ that shows a lot about your character and that shows a lot that you don’t care. How could you come in Walmart fully dressed knowing it’s a lot of people watching you? She probably thought nobody was going to step up‚ but‚ you know‚ we did.”Video shows the mother tossing a bag of frozen items just in front of the toddler‚ who was seated in the main part of the cart. Image source: YouTube screenshotAmid an argument with a shopper over the toddler‚ the New York Post reported that the mother "delivered a vulgar rant‚ pausing only to twerk briefly for the camera."Police charged the mother‚ Kambria Darby‚ with child neglect‚ WLBT noted‚ adding that she was booked and processed at the Hinds County Detention Center on bond conditions the county Youth Court ordered.The station also reported that Child Protective Services got involved and later released the toddler to an approved relative.A GoFundMe to help cover Darling's monthly expenses while she's out of work has reached $40‚700 as of Monday.Atlanta Black Star said it reached out to Walmart multiple times for comment. 'They did Jesus the same way'The Post said another video Darling posted that is no longer live shows a shopper dressing the toddler in clothes from the store while the mother stands nearby scrolling on her phone.The paper added that police spoke to Darby outside and learned about shoppers dressed the still-shivering child inside the store.EMS personnel checked the toddler before Child Protection Services arrived‚ the Post noted.Darby after her release from jail got on social media and defended herself‚ the paper said‚ citing a Facebook post the Daily Mail said it viewed: “They did Jesus the same way‚ he felt sick to his stomach as well; he didn’t want to go through it.”According to the Post‚ the mother of three said she hasn’t seen her children since the Walmart incident: “I know this too shall pass. I know one day me and my kids will be reunited.”Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
