After years of dismissing the issue of Big Tech censorship, House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jerry Nadler (D-NY) found out that censorship is no joke after it impacted his party’s presidential candidate.  In a letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Nadler asked the Republican lawmaker to support his investigation of alleged limits placed on Vice President Kamala Harris’s X account. “Numerous users have recently reported being blocked from following Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign handle @KamalaHQ,” Nadler wrote.  Tried to follow the @KamalaHQ account & X gave me the below message & blocked me from following: Bizarre. I follow under 1,000 people. pic.twitter.com/PY85vdeIIi — Alyssa Farah Griffin (@Alyssafarah) July 22, 2024 Nadler was sure to remind Jordan about the Ohio congressman’s unwavering pro-free speech stance. “Given your long track record of fighting against political discrimination on the platform ‘town squares’ of American discourse, I trust that you will join me in requesting additional information from X regarding this apparent censorship of a candidate for President of the United States,” the New York congressman added.  Tellingly, Nadler ignored the fact that he has repeatedly criticized his colleague for said track record and dismissed the issue of Big Tech censorship. In 2023, for instance, Nadler dismissed Twitter Files’ evidence that blatantly pointed to the FBI’s collusion with Twitter to censor Americans’ free speech.  “The Republicans will make false claims about the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, claiming that it is somehow censoring conservatives,” Nadler retorted at the time. “According to committee Republicans, the Task Force’s efforts to track and prevent foreign influence operations amount to attacks on conservative speech.”   He went on to label this censorship concern  a “nonsensical claim, considering that the Foreign Influence Task Force has nothing to do with censoring American free speech, and in fact, helps to ensure that American voices are heard by stopping Russian troll farms.” In 2018, Nadler also attempted to derail a House Judiciary Committee hearing inquiring about censorship and content curation on Facebook, Twitter, Google Search and YouTube. Instead, he made a motion to discuss the Mueller report investigating former President Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia in 2016. Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on so-called hate speech and equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored, contact us using CensorTrack’s contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

An ongoing FBI investigation into Democratic Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao has recently expanded to the local police department, according to multiple local reports. Meanwhile, Thao is simultaneously facing an upcoming recall election later this year.While no charges have been filed at this time, federal agents raided Thao's home last month, seizing her phone and computer. The FBI also took electronic devices belonging to Andre Jones, Thao's partner, who has worked in politics for decades, according to Oaklandside. 'This is significant.'During a press conference, Thao previously claimed that the ongoing federal investigation was "not about" her. As part of the probe, the FBI also raided three other properties linked to the politically influential Duong family, known for owning California Waste Solutions, a recycling company.It is unclear what potential crimes the FBI is investigating; however, reports have speculated that the probe may be regarding a campaign contribution laundering scheme.Federal investigators have since demanded phone directory records from the Oakland Police Department, Oaklandside reported. The city must also produce documents showing all federal funding sources since 2021.The FBI's subpoena requested "all Oakland Police Department reports made by or involving any member of the Duong family" since April 2024.Professor Greg Woods, with the Department of Justice Studies at San Jose State University, told KABC-TV, "This is significant because we appear to be entertaining a massive corruption investigation that is currently under way by the grand jury, at the instruction of the Department of Justice."He noted that the FBI's requests for records from the police department do not necessarily indicate that it is being investigated for wrongdoing but rather that federal agents may be trying to uncover instances in which victims have filed complaints and to piece together a timeline."They would call the Oakland Police Department to report such an encounter, such as potential victimization," Woods added. "To, in fact, charge somebody with a crime and place them into custody. And then to continue this judicial process to hold individuals accountable."Thao has maintained that she has done nothing wrong.Neither the FBI nor the Oakland Police Department responded to KABC's request for comment.Oakland residents, fed up with the area's crime and homelessness crisis due to progressive policies imposed by local leaders, have successfully secured enough signatures to force a recall election for Thao and Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price (D), Blaze News previously reported.Like Blaze News?

Two of the most powerful drug lords in the infamous Mexican drug-trafficking cartel Sinaloa have been arrested in New Mexico.On Thursday, alleged Sinaloa co-founder Ismael Zambada Garcia, aka "El Mayo," and Joaquin Guzman Lopez — the son of the other Sinaloa co-founder, Joaquin Guzman Loera, aka "El Chapo" — were arrested at the Doña Ana County International Jetport in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, about 20 miles northwest of El Paso, Texas.Journalist Luis Chaparro ... indicated in a recent Substack article that both alleged drug lords had basically turned themselves in.Back in February, Zambada — who founded Sinaloa with El Chapo in the 1980s — was indicted for allegedly conspiring to make and distribute fentanyl. Despite his deep association with one of the most ruthless drug cartels in the world, Zambada "has never spent a day in jail," the State Department said.That all changed this week when Zambada, 76, boarded a plane with Joaquin Guzman, 38, believing that the two were headed to inspect property somewhere in Mexico. However, Guzman had reportedly turned on Zambada recently, believing that Zambada was somehow involved in the capture of Guzman's father, El Chapo, who is currently serving life plus 30 years in a supermax prison in Colorado.According to the New York Times, Guzman "lured" Zambada onto the aircraft "under false pretenses." The plane then headed for the U.S., where federal agents were waiting.Both Zambada and Guzman surrendered to authorities at the New Mexico airport without incident and were taken away separately. "It seemed like a pretty calm, arranged thing," one unnamed airport employee told CNN. That observation matches reporting from journalist Luis Chaparro, who indicated in a recent Substack article that both alleged drug lords had basically turned themselves in.Authorities transported Guzman to Chicago but kept Zambada in the area. He appeared at the El Paso Magistrate Courtroom on Friday.Both face multiple charges in connection with the manufacture of fentanyl, drug trafficking, and "leading the Cartel’s criminal operations," a DOJ press release said."Fentanyl is the deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced, and the Justice Department will not rest until every single cartel leader, member, and associate responsible for poisoning our communities is held accountable," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.Drug Enforcement Administration chief Anne Milgram said the arrests of El Mayo and the son of El Chapo strike "at the heart of the cartel that is responsible for the majority of drugs, including fentanyl and methamphetamine, killing Americans from coast to coast."Like Blaze News?

A California man has been arrested in connection with the huge Park Fire that has ravaged the northern area of the Golden State. The suspect is accused of pushing a fiery car into a gully that sparked the massive wildfire that has already burned over 164,000 acres. Ronnie Dean Stout II, 42, was arrested around 2 a.m. Thursday at a mobile home park in Chico, authorities said.The Park Fire tripled in size on its second day.Stout is being held without bail until his arraignment Monday. Butte County District Attorney Michael L. Ramsey said in a statement that Stout likely will face an arson charge, although it's unclear how many counts or whether any enhancements will be added.Stout has two previous strike felony convictions, according to prosecutors.KOVR-TV reported that Stout was convicted of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 in Butte County in 2001. The following year, he was convicted in Kern County for robbery with great bodily injury and sentenced to 20 years in prison. In California, individuals with two prior strikes — convictions of violent or serious felonies — receive a "significantly" longer prison sentence if convicted of a third felony.Stout pushed a car that was on fire into a gully near the Alligator Hole in upper Bidwell Park shortly before 3 p.m. Wednesday, Ramsey stated. The DA said the fiery car sparked the wildfire now known as the Park Fire. "The car went down an embankment approximately 60 feet and burned completely, spreading flames that caused the Park Fire," Ramsey said."The male was then seen calmly leaving the area by blending in with the other citizens who were in the area and fleeing the rapidly evolving fire," Ramsey said. The origin point of the Park Fire is about 90 miles north of Sacramento. The wildfire has devastated the counties of Butte and Tehama where evacuations were ordered. Roughly 4,000 residents in unincorporated areas of Butte County and 400 residents of Chico were ordered to evacuate, Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said at a news conference Thursday. — (@) The Park Fire tripled in size on its second day and has scorched more than 164,000 acres — about 256 square miles. In the most recent Cal Fire report, 134 structures have been destroyed by the fire. Just 3% of the fire has been contained as of Friday morning, Cal Fire said.Over 1,600 firefighters, 142 fire engines, and six helicopters have been deployed to battle the Park Fire."Today the Park Fire burned very actively with hot, dry weather over the region," Cal Fire said.Butte County Fire Chief Garrett Sjolund said, "The fire quickly began to outpace our resources because of the dry fuels, the hot weather, the low humidities, and the wind."The fast-growing blaze is now California's largest wildfire this year, and the largest since 2021's Caldor Fire, KCRA-TV reported. Also in California, the Lake Fire in Santa Barbara County — which started July 5 — has burned over 38,000 acres and is 90% contained, according to Cal Fire. The Associated Press reported that a fire near the state line with Nevada displaced approximately 1,000 people after evacuations were ordered Monday. Like Blaze News?

Get excited! George Clooney is on Team Kamala. The heartthrob threw his support behind Vice President Harris just days after throwing President Joe Biden under the presidential motorcade. So much throwing. Great for the shoulders, but he better bend at the knees. You’re not a kid any more, George. Clooney knew Biden’s obvious dementia could complicate the leader’s campaign, but he only spoke out following Biden’s disastrous debate performance. What. A. Patriot. Now he wants us to know that the candidate who flamed out in epic fashion four years ago is the best candidate possible. Maybe ever. Clooney is a master at make-believe, but those skills stretch only so far …Kamala chameleons We’ve had three-plus years of comedians avoiding the word salad spinner in chief. Vice presidents don’t always offer comic gold to satirists, but there are exceptions. Comics mocked Mike Pence’s uber-square persona. Dan Quayle got hammered for his infamous “potatoe” spelling gaffe. Dick Cheney’s hunting accident wasn’t the only time late-night wags pounced and seized on the crusty VP. Harris? Zero, zilch, nada. Looks like the usual past-their-prime-timers have chosen to focus on what their job can be (savior of democracy), unburdened by what it has been (overpaid court jester). And expect that wall of silence to extend to November. Except when comedians are promoting her campaign, like “Jimmy Kimmel Live” fill-in Lamorne Morris did this week. The “New Girl” alum praised potential first man Douglas Emhoff as a “stud” while admitting that Harris will need all the help she can get to top Trump come November. “She gonna need the help of every single god she can get, okay. I’m talking Yahweh, you got Allah, you need Jesus, Oprah, all the big gods,” he quipped. To paraphrase Robert Plant, “Does anybody remember laughter?” Worse than waterboarding Jack Bauer is back. But will we even recognize him? A new “24” film is in development, although it’s unclear whether Kiefer Sutherland will reprise his role as the relentless hero. In fact, we know very little about the project other than it is yet more proof that beloved IPs never die in Hollywood. They just get rebooted until audience eyerolls hit warp speed. Will Jack resemble the hero we knew and loved for eight consecutive seasons? He can’t torture terrorists to glean valuable clues any more. Too problematic. The terrorists will have to be Patriot Front members, not Islamic Jihadists. And can our hero save America without having a difficult conversation about systemic racism? Let’s hope “24” gets stuck in development hell …. Stone crazy Sharon Stone’s giving America one last chance. The “Casino” star is threatening to leave the country should Donald Trump retake the White House this November. “This is one of the first times in my life that I’ve actually seen anyone running for office on a platform of hate and oppression.” Guess that means she thought Trump’s 2016 run was marked by sunshine and rainbows. That’s hopeful, right? There’s a reason celebrities make this vow every four years (and never go through with it). Two, actually. One, it guarantees fawning media attention — not with Align, but everywhere else. Two, it’s a “hire me” placard in plain sight. “See? I think just like you do! Now can I get a bit part in the next season of 'Bridgerton'? Please?” Talk about giving in to your basic instinct! Gass bag Jack Black took plenty of heat after his bandmate publicly proclaimed his grim birthday wish: that the next would-be shooter would take Trump out for good. Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass expressed that hope at a Sydney concert less than a day after a 20-year-old man shot and nearly killed Trump at a Butler, Pennsylvania, rally. Black didn’t raise a ruckus on stage, but he swiftly shared an Instagram apology with meat on its bones. The “School of Rock” star canceled the rest of the band’s current tour and said he’d be taking a creative break. Gass shared his own mea culpa on Instagram ... only to later delete it. What a total "D."

Amid Democrats’ chaos, Republicans are preparing for victory in November.

A crash is coming.

BAHAHA! 100s of 1000s of Annoying White Leftist Women Meet to Support Kamala and Jokes Write THEMSELVES
