Anti-2A Black Female!
Political persecution!
(Far-left MSM outlet Twitter) NY attorney general files a lawsuit with the intention to dissolve the National Rifle Association (NRA)
(Drudge) TISH TAKES ON NRA, alleging 'GREED, ABUSE AND BRAZEN ILLEGALITY'
This black female AG Letitia James alleges that senior leaders of the non-profit group diverted millions of dollars for personal use and to buy the silence and loyalty of former employees. This woman claimed, without evidence, that CEO and executive VP, the great Wayne LaPierre, was using the nonprofit as his “personal piggy bank.”
Leticia alleged in a statement that NRA leaders "used millions upon millions from NRA reserves for personal use." Leticia told reporters, “It’s clear that the NRA has been failing to carry out its stated mission [AS IF SHE CARES ABOUT THEIR MISSION] for many, many years and instead has operated as a breeding ground for greed, abuse and brazen illegality. Enough was enough. We needed to step in and dissolve this corporation." She added "no one is above the law"... all of the usual clichés.
Simultaneously, Washington D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine — like James, a Democrat — sued the NRA Foundation, a charitable arm of the organization that provides programs for marksmanship and firearm safety, accusing it of diverting funds to the NRA to help pay for lavish spending by top executives.

In a statement, NRA President Carolyn Meadows labeled James a “political opportunist” pursuing a “rank vendetta” with an attack on its members’ Second Amendment rights.
“You could have set your watch by it: the investigation was going to reach its crescendo as we move into the 2020 election cycle,” said Meadows, who announced a countersuit in federal court in Albany

Revolver News’s take
(Revolver) Getting “woke” on “racism” apparently didn’t help the NRA appease the left — far-left outlet The Hill has video of this female prosecutor’s announcement.
(Revolver) Flashback: NRA Gets “Woke” on “Racism” and Ignores Urgent Gun Rights Issues — apparently in at least one incident they cited the leftist-extremist communist outlet SPLC which makes a business of hating whites and Americans and Christians.
Speaking of Black Females
(NBC News) Michelle Obama suffering from 'low-grade depression' due to racial inequality, and coronavirus
Former first lady Michelle Obama says racial inequality amid the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic has left her feeling that she has "some form of low-grade depression."
"Not just because of the quarantine, but because of the racial strife, and just seeing this administration, watching the hypocrisy of it, day in and day out, is dispiriting," she said in the latest episode of her podcast released Wednesday.
Obama added that the mounting stories of Black people being wrongfully arrested, killed or "dehumanized" have been weighing on her. And while George Floyd's death in police custody sparked an outpouring of outrage, the issue of racism in America long preceded the incident.
"I’d be remiss to say part of this depression is also a result of what we're seeing in terms of the protests, the continued racial unrest that has plagued this country since its birth," she said.
The high rates of Black men in prisons, economic disparity and lack of access to quality health care were among the examples Obama pointed to.
Obama also discussed the attitudes some Americans had about the country inaugurating its first Black president when her husband, Barack Obama, was elected in 2008.
"The reaction to it on all sides, the vast discomfort with the notion that a Black man could be sitting in the highest level of office, we saw that. We saw the signs, we saw the nooses, " she said.
Both Obamas have been subject to right wing attacks and abuse online — SO WRITES far-left female Linda Givetash, who is a London-based producer for NBC News. SUCH A LIE. THEY ABUSED AMERICA, NOT WE THEM!
Reflecting on the pandemic, Obama also said she found people who refuse to wear masks “frustrating."
"There’s almost like there’s a limit to our sacrifice and it was about a month and then we just got tired of the virus," she said. "That’s been disheartening to see so many people who have grown tired of staying at home because the virus didn’t impact them."
The country needs to think more about essential workers, many of whom are financially unstable, lack health insurance and face greater risks of falling ill, she said.
In the episode, Obama speaks with Washington Post opinion columnist and friend Michele Norris about the rise in protests over racial injustice since the Floyd death.
Amid all the challenges facing the country, Obama said she's managing the "emotional highs and lows" by trying to maintain a routine, trying to not be hard on herself, getting outdoors and spending time with her family.
Obama's eponymous podcast launched last month with an interview with her husband.
08/07/20 Fri. Hour 2
James talks with Jesse about Oprah promoting this book by Isabel Wilkerson called Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, and pushing communist “equality.”
Selena from Georgia challenges Jesse about him saying BLM is worse than the KKK. She says the KKK is worse than BLM, seriously. She doesn’t know who founded them, but it was radical fat black lesbians. Very interesting call. She supports the statement, “Black Lives Matter.” But what does that mean?

(Revolver) TWITTER SUSPENDED TRUMP FROM TWEETING UNTIL HE BENDS TO THEIR WHIM
Twitter said it will require President Trump to remove a post containing coronavirus misinformation, banning him from tweeting until he does so. - Ian Miles Cheong
(Fox News) FACEBOOK REMOVES TRUMP POST OVER CORONAVIRUS MISINFORMATION RULES; TWITTER ALSO CLAMPS DOWN
Facebook announced Thursday that it will ban pro-Trump super PAC, The Committee to Defend The President, from buying ads on its platform.
“As a result of the Committee to Defend the President’s repeated sharing of content determined by third-party fact-checkers to be false, they will not be permitted to advertise for a period of time on our platform,” Facebook Policy communications director Andy Stone told FOX Business in a statement.
The page will lose advertising privileges for a minimum of 90 days. The advertising ban will take effect on August 10, and would end around November 1.
Committee chairman Ted Harvey told FOX Business in a statement that Facebook is "determined to restrict free speech and attack those who dare to support President Trump."
"When their liberal, Trump-hating 'fact-checkers' complained about the Committee's first ad for correctly calling out Joe Biden, we changed it. When those same 'fact-checkers' didn't bother to check the facts or even watch our second ad, they still banned us," Harvey said. "The Committee will not be silenced by 'woke' Silicon Valley elites, as we expose the real Joe Biden. We have reallocated our entire Facebook budget to other online platforms, so Americans can see the whole truth—not just Facebook’s truth.”
The Committee to Defend the President Facebook page has nearly 1 million followers and has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on ads in the last two years on the social media giant.
More background
The move comes a day after the platform removed a video of President Trump which it said "includes false claims that a group of people is immune from COVID-19 which is a violation of our policies around harmful COVID misinformation."
In the removed video, the president told Fox & Friends that schools should remain open.
"My view is that schools should be open," Trump said. “If you look at children, children are almost — and I would almost say definitely — but almost immune from this disease.”
He added that children have "much stronger immune systems" and "just don't have a problem."
The post, which was also shared to Twitter by the Trump campaign's account, was also flagged after being "in violation of the Twitter rules on COVID-19 misinformation." Twitter told FOX News that the video must be removed from the Trump campaign's account before it can tweet again.
Trump campaign spokesperson Courtney Parella told Fox News that President Trump was "stating a fact that children are less susceptible to the coronavirus."
"Another day, another display of Silicon Valley’s flagrant bias against this President, where the rules are only enforced in one direction," she added. "Social media companies are not the arbiters of truth.”
Facebook's policy to block advertising on pages that "repeatedly share stories marked as false" has been in place since 2017.
