A clergyman has been condemned by colleagues and faces a Church of England investigation after describing efforts to commemorate Captain Sir Tom Moore as a “cult of white British nationalism”.

The Rev Jarel Robinson-Brown has apologised for criticising the response to the 100-year-old veteran’s death and refusing to join the national clap for him on Wednesday.Beloved British WWII vet who fundraised for COVID hospitalized with virus 

A UK clergyman was condemned by his own church Thursday after he denounced a national clap for the late hero British Army veteran Captain Sir Tom Moore as “a cult of white British nationalism.”

The Rev. Jarel Robinson-Brown sparked a firestorm Wednesday as Prime Minister Boris Johnson led the tribute to Moore, the 100-year-old World War II vet who raised almost $45 million for front-line health care workers during the pandemic.

Moore died Tuesday after getting infected with COVID-19 himself.

“The cult of Captain Tom is a cult of White British Nationalism,” the black Church of England clergyman wrote, according to Sky News.

“I will offer prayers for the repose of his kind and generous soul, but I will not be joining the ‘National Clap’.”

Robinson-Brown, who was newly appointed to the oldest church in the City of London, later offered “an unreserved apology for the insensitive timing and content of my tweet regarding the clap for Captain Tom,” Sky said.

The Rev. Jarel Robinson-Brown was heavily criticized for his comments on Captain Sir Tom Moore.

After a torrent of outrage, he deleted his initial message — and by Thursday appeared to have deleted his Twitter account.

The Diocese of London announced Thursday that “a review is underway, led by the Archdeacon of London.”

“Jarel Robinson-Brown’s comments regarding Captain Sir Tom Moore were unacceptable, insensitive, and ill-judged,” the diocese said.

“The fact that he immediately removed his tweet and subsequently apologised does not undo the hurt he has caused, not least to Captain Tom’s family,” the statement added, also condemning the “racist abuse” it sparked for Robinson-Brown.

#AlexandriaOcasioSmollett Trends After It’s Revealed AOC Wasn’t Even In Capitol During January Riot

https://thefederalist.com/2021/02/03/alexandriaocasiosmollett-trends-after-its-revealed-aoc-wasnt-even-in-capitol-during-january-riot/

FEBRUARY 3, 2021 By Tristan Justice

The hashtag “#AlexandriaOcasioSmollett” became a top trend on Twitter Wednesday as users connected the dots to find that the New York congresswoman wasn’t in the Capitol building during her “near-death experience.”

Since the attack, the 31-year-old Democrat has only escalated the hysteria surrounding her own safety, speaking directly to her millions of followers on Instagram and publishing inflammatory posts on Twitter, contradicting herself along the way. The week after the attack, AOC claimed her Republican colleagues would help the criminal rioters find and hurt her as the mob stormed the Capitol complex.

“I myself did not even feel safe going to that extraction point,” Ocasio-Cortez said of the House bunker harboring lawmakers from the chaos, “because there were QAnon and white supremacist sympathizers and frankly white supremacist members of Congress in that extraction point.”

So the congresswoman remained in the House offices across the street instead, in buildings left largely untouched by the riotous mob.

It remains unclear, however, in which office Ocasio-Cortez sought shelter. This week in an Instagram live story, hysterically amplified by legacy media, she said she hid in a bathroom to protect herself from a male Capitol Police officer, claiming she thought he was going to kill her.

According to Newsweek, Ocasio-Cortez said she hid in her office, which is located in the Cannon House Office Building, as mob rioters stormed the hallways.

Here’s what Newsweek reported:

Ocasio-Cortez said that rioters actually entered her office, forcing her to take refuge inside her bathroom after her legislative director Geraldo Bonilla-Chavez told her to “hide, hide, run and hide.”

 

“And so I run back into my office,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “I slam my door. There’s another kind of like back area to my office, and I open it, and there’s a closet and a bathroom. And I jump into my bathroom.”

That story, however, contradicts another shared by California Democratic Rep. Katie Porter, who described a scene in which her New York colleague sought refuge in her office, which is located in the Longworth building. In heart-wrenching testimony, as if the horde had been slamming on Porter’s office doors, Porter recounted Ocasio-Cortez telling her, “I just hope I get to be a mom. I hope I don’t die today.”

Neither the Longworth nor Canon buildings were overwhelmed by the Trump supporters who had descended on the Capitol grounds that day.

Despite the demonstrative absence of extreme danger in either location where Ocasio-Cortez might have hidden, the New York leader of the socialist “Squad” in the lower chamber has only ramped up the rhetoric, claiming she stared death in the eyes at the doing of her Republican colleagues.

Last week, she claimed Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz tried to kill her, provoking Republicans in the House and Senate to demand a censurefor the egregious allegation.

This week, as Porter recalled the tale of the two sheltering together, Ocasio-Cortez revealed during another Instagram live session that she had been sexually assaulted in her past, which might explain the congresswoman’s hysterics in the aftermath of the Capitol riot.

“I’m a survivor of sexual assault,” she told her audience. “And I haven’t told many people that in my life. But when we go through trauma, trauma compounds on each other.”

The comparison of Ocasio-Cortez to former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett by Wednesday’s Twitter hashtag relates to a heinous hate crime Smollett apparently staged in 2019 that prompted a six-count indictment in February last year. Cook County prosecutors had previously dropped 16 other charges while insisting the move did not exonerate him.

Before it became revealed that the hate crime appeared to be a hoax, then-California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris decried the act a “modern day lynching.”

Man twice bailed out by Kamala Harris-backed fund — gets arrested again

A Minnesota man twice bailed out by a Vice President Kamala Harris-backed nonprofit group has been busted a third time on felony drug charges, authorities said.

Thomas Moseley’s latest collar stems from his arrest on Oct. 15, 2020, when he was picked up at a George Floyd-related protest and charged with damaging the Minneapolis Police Department’s Fifth Precinct months earlier, WCCO-TV reported.

Police found a handgun in his waistband and charged him with possession of a dangerous weapon.

Moseley, 29, of Minneapolis, was also busted on rioting charges from a Dec. 31, 2020, demonstration.

In both cases, he was freed with the help of the Minnesota Freedom Fund — which fronted his $5,000 bail in the October case and $60,000 in the December case, Fox News reported, citing a criminal complaint.

Established in 2016, the fund has vowed to put up cash to help protesters get released from jail, though it faced extreme scrutiny over the summer after admitting it had only spent $200,000 in bail money — despite being flooded with more than $30 million in donations.

In June, Harris pushed for contributions to the nonprofit.

“If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota,” she wrote.

Moseley’s most recent case is related to his October arrest. During a search of his pickup truck, police found a cache of weapons — “three handguns, a shotgun and a semi-automatic rifle as well as a panel for stopping bullets in a bullet-proof vest, a gas mask and about 50 bullets,” according to prosecutors.

They also found marijuana, cocaine and psychotropic mushrooms resulting in his most recent arrest on three felony counts of fifth-degree possession of a controlled substance while in possession of a firearm.

Bail in the drug case was set at $250,000. Hennepin County Jail records show that Moseley remains in custody.

He is also under investigation on suspicion he used a straw buyer to buy a semiautomatic weapon on Jan. 7 and Jan. 12 — with jail records showing he’d just been released from prison on Jan. 5, Fox News said.

The Minnesota Freedom Fund has bailed out other defendants on violent crimes, according to an August report from Fox 9.

They include Darnika Floyd, charged with second-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of a friend. The fund paid $100,000 cash for her release, the outlet said.

Twice-convicted rapist Christopher Boswell was sprung on $350,000 cash bail on two separate cases involving kidnapping, assault and sexual assault charges.

The nonprofit released a lengthy statement to WCCO-TV in response to Moseley’s cases, saying, “We do not make determinations of bail support based on the crimes that individuals are alleged to have committed.”

“Freedom Fund believes that every individual who has been arrested by the police is innocent until proven guilty, and should not have to wait in jail simply because they do not have the same income or resources as others with more financial privilege,” it said.

It also reiterated a statement from Moseley’s attorney that said, “This is a persecution of a political activist with prosecutors using an organization that helps pay people’s bail as an excuse to raise their bail.”

Biden State Dept. Spox Called Cops the 'Largest Threat to U.S. National Security' in 2016 Facebook Post

Jalina Porter, who was recently made the deputy spokeswoman of Joe Biden’s State Department, called American cops the “largest threat to U.S. national security” in a Facebook post in 2016, reports the Washington Free Beacon. The Beacon obtained a screenshot of the offending remarks.

“An unarmed Black man takes a knee for justice, bigots riot. An unarmed black man (with his hands raised) takes a bullet and dies, these same bigots are silent. Explain this to me, please,” the post by Porter says. “The largest threat to U.S. national security are U.S. cops. Not ISIS, not Russian hackers, not anyone or anything else. If ya’ll don’t wake up and rise up to this truth, the genocide against Blacks in America will continue until we are near extinct.”

PJ Media could not independently verify the legitimacy of the Facebook post shared by the Washington Free Beacon. Either the post has since been deleted from her Facebook profile, or her privacy settings don’t allow unapproved people to see the post. The Washington Free Beacon did not explain how they obtained the screenshot. The State Department did not respond to multiple requests for comment from the publication.

Porter is a former NFL and NBA cheerleader who was working at the Truman National Security Project, a left-wing foreign policy think tank, at the time of the post. The Truman National Security Project also previously employed Hunter Biden.It’s hard to imagine how Porter’s past comments weren’t discovered prior to her being hired by the State Department. Or perhaps they were known but did not raise any red flags within the Biden administration. Let’s not forget, last summer Biden said, “Yes, absolutely!” to “redirecting” police funding after suggesting they were “the enemy.”

I suppose Porter will fit nicely in Biden’s State Department.

   The Biden administration will tap Suzi LeVine to join the Labor Department as interim political head of the Employment and Training Administration, Bloomberg reported. Starting on Monday, LeVine will "lead the federal sub-agency office that helps states manage unemployment benefits," according to the Seattle Times. Previously, LeVine was the commissioner of the Washington state Employment Security Department, which under her watch fell victim to a Nigerian fraud scam that lost hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. 

LeVine admitted last May that "hundreds of millions of dollars" had been defrauded by international scammers. 

"Impostors have used the stolen information of tens of thousands of people in the state to fraudulently receive hundreds of millions of dollars in unemployment benefits," according to Oregon Public Broadcasting. 

The Nigerian fraud ring called "Scattered Canary" utilized stolen information of Washington residents from previous data breaches, such as the 2017 Equifax breach, to file for unemployment. The ESD allegedly attempted to rush out unemployment checks and didn't do enough to verify the identities of the recipients. 

The results of an audit of LeVine's Employment Security Department were released in December, which found that the ESD's "known and suspected" fraud loss was about $600 million from over 122,000 fraudulent claims as of June 30, 2020. The government was able to recover $250 million of the missing funds, but Nigerian fraudsters were able to pocket $350.9 million.

"As part of its annual audit of the state's financial statements, the Office of the Washington State Auditor found that the Employment Security Department (ESD) did not have adequate internal controls to prevent the fraud," the audit stated. "The Department also reported inaccurate fraud and recovery numbers for the state's financial statements."

"The elimination in March of the 'waiting week,' time ESD typically would use to verify eligibility for benefits," the report read. 

The removal of the "waiting week" was reportedly at the request of Gov. Jay Inslee (D), which made it difficult for the ESD to verify unemployment claims with employers before the checks were mailed out.

"This fraud is a source of major concern for the public, legislators, and the media – all of whom are considered users of these financial statements," auditor Pat McCarthy said. "Additionally, these funds were given to the state to use for the benefit of Washingtonians. The financial statements should be transparent about what happened."

LeVine was appointed to her ESD position by Inslee. 

The Seattle Times revealed LeVine's close ties to the Democratic Party: 

Critics have also noted that LeVine, who worked at Microsoft and Expedia and served as U.S. ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein for three years in the Obama administration, is a longtime player in Democratic politics.

The LeVines gave more than $400,000 to the Biden campaign and other Democratic causes in 2019 and 2020, according to federal campaign records.

In 2017, the LeVines were appointed as deputy national finance chairs for the Democratic National Committee, according to its website.

Fox News noted that LeVine's new position "would put her at the front of President Biden's economic recovery plan," adding, "With an annual budget of roughly $9 billion — about three-quarters of overall Labor Department dollars, the ETA will have a key role in patching up the scarce labor market."
