Columbia Professor: Avoid MSM Because It's 'Owned by Jews'

Anti-Zionists In a Funk After a Dunk At the Munk Debates

An all-new series will investigate the veracity behind personal accounts of otherworldly experiences when Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction premieres Wednesday, June 19 at 10PM ET/PT on Discovery Channel and Max. With reports of UAPs (unexplained aerial phenomena) on the rise, UFO experts Mitch Horowitz and Chrissy Newton use scientific data and research to dissect real life encounters with extraterrestrial activity and determine whether or not they can be explained. Posting up at a local watering hole in Roswell, New Mexico, a town infamous for its UFO past, Horowitz and Newton meet with individuals who have experienced strange and unexplainable encounters. After listening to each firsthand account, the duo taps into the latest intelligence, technology and tools to investigate the reported activity. Using recently declassified UFO documents, databases and more, the pair closely analyze the visual and physical evidence to separate fact from fiction. They’ll then render a final verdict on whether each individual experience has a verifiable explanation, or if they believe it to be a real alien encounter. “Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction is a fun and exciting addition to our Wednesday night line-up, taking viewers on an out-of-this-world journey with a big payoff,” said Howard Lee, President of Discovery Networks. “As audiences listen to these intimate encounters, they can judge for themselves what they believe before our experts weigh in with facts. It packs the thrill of the unknown with a hunt for evidence, while satisfying the thirst for knowledge.” In the premiere episode, Mitch Horowitz and Chrissy Newton meet with a farming couple from California who believe they’ve captured video evidence proving the afterlife is real. Then, a geologist believes he may have unearthed the most important piece of evidence to ever come from a UFO crash site – leaving even the experts speechless. Finally, they speak with a mother who is struggling to make sense of a harrowing UFO encounter that she believes caused her neurological damage and left radiation burns on her body.

In the last few days, an uproar from the liberal media was sparked over the realization that President Joe Biden … is old, and there is no hiding it anymore. The concern comes after a great number of videos depicting Biden’s many public outings, and even more publicly known gaffes and moments of disorientation went viral. Upcoming CNN debate moderator and Inside Politics host Dana Bash, along with national political reporter Daniel Strauss, and senior political analyst Nia-Malika Henderson, claimed the videos were “fake” on Wednesday, but unfortunately for them, they aren’t. As the rise in AI deepfakes has spread concern over misrepresentation, misleading, or even fake imagery, the progressive media now rides this wave, in hopes that it will cover for Biden’s obvious age and frailty. The truth is that these images are rarely edited, but usually depict Biden’s actions from different angles, usually ones that the media has avoided. The fact of the matter is that the media has been trying to cover for Biden’s fumbles and have run out of excuses.  During the panel, Dana Bash spoke hesitantly on the issue, explaining why she was hesitant to speak on it at all in the case lest she give it any more attention, “Here are videos that are being put out on social media and then amplified on conservative media that in some cases are just not right and in other cases are highly, highly misleading of President Biden… So, it's the question that I started this conversation with is how much to talk about it versus how much to just kind of ignore it and we're trying to do both here. What are your thoughts?”     Henderson replied: Listen, the Trump campaign is going to do this and voters are going to see it. They're going to imbibe this and not necessarily know that it's fake. It’s a real problem. You see the Biden team trying to counteract this, but I think the problem is to the Streisand example in fact-checking. Do you amplify it? Right? This thing is fake well, what is this the thing that you're talking about? And then you go see it. So it's a real problem, but I think at the core there is this problem with both of these candidates in terms of age and perceptions. Again, many of these videos deemed“fake” by CNN simply highlight a major issue among voters, and more than age, the problem is capability. Yes, both Trump and Biden are older, that is not the issue, as both are not equally capable. However, Strauss did not see this: I have never seen something like – in any election I've covered the topic of frailty and age being so important and impactful to voters. I mean, you see this with how sensitive the Biden campaign is to any sort of perception that he is too old that he has – not even lost the step, but he has sort of become a little more frail. And how eager the Trump campaign is to amplify that even though both candidates are old they are old but this is, this is the issue that some voters and low information voters really care about. “Sort of a little more frail,” is an understatement and one which really characterizes this issue. In a time where the country looks at the threats of a world filled with terrorism, war, and corruption, demanding an astute leader is no crime.   The transcript is below, click “expand” to read: CNN’s Inside Politics 6/19/2024 12:12:42 PM EST  Run Time: 2 minutes 55 seconds   DANA BASH: I want to make a bit of a turn in our conversation to something that we've been wanting to talk about on the show for a little bit and just to be totally transparent, trying to figure out how to do it. And when I say “it,” it is a lot of memes and what the White House is calling “cheap fakes,” which means that these— there are videos that are being put out on social media and then amplified on conservative media that in some cases are just not right and in other cases are highly, highly misleading of President Biden and I don't want to go – I don't want to let a moment go by where I can read a tweet from Barbara Streisand on the show. So, I'm going to do it, she said, “We must stay vigilant to the ongoing and pervasive spread of misinformation. Maybe now more than usual, in the lead up to the presidential election.” And her argument was don't amplify it. It is interesting given the fact that there was a famous case where somebody took a picture of her house in Malibu and she sued to not have that shown and then it turned out that people started looking at the picture more than before. So, it's the question that I started this conversation with is how much to talk about it versus how much to just kind of ignore it and we're trying to do both here. What are your thoughts? DANIEL STRAUSS: I have never seen something like – in any election I've covered the topic of frailty and age being so important and impactful to voters. I mean, you see this with how sensitive the Biden campaign is to any sort of perception that he is too old that he has – not even lost the step, but he has sort of become a little more frail and how eager the Trump campaign is to amplify that even though both candidates are old— BASH: Right. STRAUSS:  — they are old but this is, this is the issue that some voters and low and information voters really care about. BASH: But there's that, which is a reality. You have a 78-year-old and an 82-year-old— KAYLA TAUSCHE: One. BASH: —81-year-old and we have lots of examples of both of them.  NIA-MALIKA HENDERSON: Yeah.  BASH: Maybe Trump's aren't played as much, but both of them appearing to, to use your words, “lose a step”. That's one thing. The other thing is to take something that actually happened and make it look worse than it is. HENDERSON: And listen, the Trump campaign is going to do this and voters are going to see it. They're going to imbibe this and not necessarily know that it's fake. It’s a real problem. You see the Biden team trying to counteract this, but I think the problem is to the Streisand example, in fact-checking it, do you amplify it? Right? This thing is fake well, what is this the thing that you're talking about? And then you go see it. So, it's a real problem, but I think at the core there is this problem with both of these candidates in terms of age and perceptions. BASH: Okay.

The hosts of "The View" fawned over Dr. Anthony Fauci as he explained he believes he has done nothing to warrant threats of being put in prison for his role in the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.Fauci is currently on a publicity tour to promote his new book, “On Call,” a memoir about his decades-long career in public health. Host Sara Haines began her question to Fauci by noting COVID is no longer a public health threat, but the tensions about it "have not cooled.""And we saw that on full display during your congressional hearing earlier this month, which we just witnessed, which even became a hot topic on this show, we discussed that Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t the only Republican that’s actually calling for your criminal prosecution or imprisonment. How seriously do you take those threats?” Haines asked.'Not only about what I have to face, but about the direction of the country and the social order and our democracy.'“You know, obviously, you always take threats that people make seriously, but I, quite frankly, don’t know what they’re talking about," Fauci answered. "What are the charges, that you saved millions of lives with the vaccine that you helped develop? Or that you got people to do things that were interventions that made them more safe against a deadly pandemic that killed 1.2 million people? So if trying to save people’s lives is a crime, then I am guilty, you know."Host Sunny Hostin then asked Fauci how he feels about the different threats he and his family have faced. Fauci said he is most upset about people who make credible threats against his daughters."You know, three young women, you know, in — in the beginning of their professional life, getting harassed, both for violence and sexually explicit threats, that’s unconscionable. And is that a reflection of who we are in this country or what is that? I just don’t get that, you know," he said.Fauci went on to say that Republicans in Congress wanting to hold him accountable, such as for downplaying the theory COVID-19 came from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, is a threat to the public order."And that’s the thing that worries me, not only about what I have to face, but about the direction of the country and the social order and our democracy. It’s ... very threatening, I think.”Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

A New Jersey basketball tournament was canceled after the event, which was to be held at a high school, posted a controversial promotional video online that was seen by school administrators.The basketball tournament was alleged to be a celebrity ordeal and was reportedly described as a community basketball tournament until a promo video for the event hit Facebook.The preview image for the video had the title "NBA Baddies Celebrity Basketball Tournament," followed by "Nuttin Butt Azz," and a July 2024 event date.The video showed organizer Big Fendi dressed as a referee in the high school gymnasium. That is followed by a series of women in thongs and other scantily clad outfits dancing and jumping up and down.The video also revealed that a $10,000 prize would be awarded to the best four teams in the tournament.An event page still posted to Eventbrite showed the tournament was to be played at West Side High School in Newark, New Jersey. Ticket prices ranged from $50 to $500 for those who preferred floor seats. Big Fendi also appeared to be holding other events such as a yacht party in New York and a pool party in New Jersey.'This was supposed to be a community basketball event.'Big Fendi later apologized to the city, the high school principal, and even to Newark Councilman Dupré Kelly, who allegedly helped him secure the venue."We were doing an event and then, you know, things went a little left, and out of control, and I take full responsibility for that, cause you guys had no knowledge of what these girls would be wearing in this celebrity game," the organizer said in an Instagram video."I want to apologize to the parents, to the students, for affecting anyone, and anybody else that was involved, and my deepest apologies," he added. Big Fendi is a music manager and is widely credited for discovering rapper Nicki Minaj. Councilman Kelly is himself a former rapper, performing in the successful group Lords of the Underground throughout 1990s and 2000s."The promotional video that was filmed was absolutely horrible and was not authorized by Newark Public Schools or the West Ward Councilman's Office," the councilman reportedly said.Kelly added that he would "never allow this type of content to be filmed" in any of the district's schools.According to NJ.com, school officials said they thought the tournament was simply for community members and knew nothing about the not-safe-for-work promotional video.Newark Public Schools spokeswoman Nancy Deering said the video of the event was not approved by the school district and expressed confusion about the tournament's actual content."No school or district official was aware of the video until it was posted on social media," Deering reportedly said. "This was supposed to be a community basketball event sponsored by Councilman Kelly. No school or district official approved the activity depicted in the video or knew that an event at one of our schools would include such activity."Like Blaze News?

The threat from online predators targeting children has only increased because of the emergence of artificial intelligence, according to a digital safety expert. Social media use has exploded as smartphones get better and faster, but so have the dangers of addiction, overexposure, and threats from online predators. 'Many victims, which have included minors, are unaware their images were copied, manipulated, and circulated.' Blaze Media spoke to digital safety expert Yaron Litwin about the threat to children from online predators that has led to lethal consequences. Litwin outlined three kinds of threats that parents should beware when allowing their children access to smartphones and social media. "There are many threats that one might experience online and this includes three things that we look at: how much screen time the children are on, what kind of content they’re potentially looking at, and who’s on the other end of that screen," said Litwin. "First of all, this is all addictive, this is about brain chemicals. People are not really in control of these interactions, this is all dopamine-induced activity. So the social media, the scrolling, all the platforms use millions in place to develop these super-sophisticated super-addictive platforms," he explained. "At the the macro level, the danger involves the mental health of our children. We’re seeing an all-time high in teen depression, kid depression, and there’s a lot of great research pointing all this back to social media," Litwin added. "But I would say it’s a combination of social media, the amount of time kids are on their phones, and then the worst is often times these predators." Litwin outlined one of the most extreme types of sextortion where the scammer uses made-up images to force children to send them lewd images and videos or simply demands money. "These come in different flavors, it could be cyber-bullying, sextortion cases, where there’s been a number of situations where kids have committed suicide because of sextortion, being bribed for images that are not real. So there’s really a spectrum of issues, but it all boils down to this overall mental health," he continued. 'I got numerous calls and messages from my friends telling me that these nude images were going around.' While some parents have warned children to never send explicit images of themselves online, not all realize the dangers of posting even the most benign images on social media. The FBI warned about the malicious practice last year: Malicious actors use content manipulation technologies and services to exploit photos and videos—typically captured from an individual's social media account, open internet, or requested from the victim—into sexually-themed images that appear true-to-life in likeness to a victim, then circulate them on social media, public forums, or pornographic websites. Many victims, which have included minors, are unaware their images were copied, manipulated, and circulated until it was brought to their attention by someone else. The photos are then sent directly to the victims by malicious actors for sextortion or harassment, or until it was self-discovered on the internet. Once circulated, victims can face significant challenges in preventing the continual sharing of the manipulated content or removal from the internet. In one heinous incident, a 14-year-old Texas girl was humiliated by fake images created by a male classmate who had used photographs she had posted of herself clothed on Instagram. Elliston Berry told Fox Business that her life was turned upside down after discovering the images were being spread on social media platforms including Snapchat and Instagram. "I got numerous calls and messages from my friends telling me that these nude images were going around," she said. Her mother recalled the horror she felt. "She came in there showing me the pictures, and I was mortified and, as a mom, stunned. I mean, I couldn't protect my daughter," said Anna McAdams. 'It’s often very difficult to identify and see those signs.'While Berry did the right thing and immediately told her mother, others targeted by sextortion schemes become entangled because they're too ashamed to come forward. Litwin offered advice on how parents can talk to their children to help them avoid these online scams. "A lot of the dangerous behaviors are very hard to spot. It’s very difficult to really see the red flags. Of all the cases we’ve heard about, or are in the news, the parents are always shocked," he said. "And so really communicating with the child, having these open conversations, explaining that if they come across something that they have a safe place to come to talk about with their parents," Litwin added. "And feel comfortable and safe to have those conversations and share what they’re seeing or what their friends are sharing."He went on to say that parents also need to be looking for signs of general harm from children using smartphones and social media. "If you see a child that is curled up with their phone and losing appetite or desire for doing anything that they loved to do in the past, that is definitely a sign for parents to look into," he said."If all they want to do is stay in bed, and use that as an excuse to stay on their phone," Litwin continued. "The challenge is that when things get a little more serious, it’s often very difficult to identify and see those signs."One report found that 30% of teenagers who went online regularly admitted to being sexually solicited by people online. Of those, only 25% told a parent about the incident. 'There’s a lot of local, social pressure ... you don’t want your kid to be left out.' Litwin said studies showed there has been an increase in teenagers suffering declines in mental health: "It ties back to typically that age when you get the first phone until early adulthood." For many parents, it is difficult to limit their children's digital use after they get habituated into being online constantly. Some schools and communities don't help in that endeavor. "There’s a lot of local, social pressure. Once there’s a certain amount of kids in the classroom with a phone, you don’t want your kid to be left out," he said. "I think it really depends on different communities. I believe that the overall guideline is that later is better, but typically you don’t want kids before eight or nine years old with a smartphone."He went on to say that parents need to think about what guardrails to put in place in order to protect their child from online harm. "Sometimes for parents it’s just for convenience so that they can connect with their child. But it really does come down to how can parents control that," Litwin added. "Just like when you get your first bike, you get a helmet. Getting that first phone is super exciting, but it really needs to come with a checklist for the parent of how to lay those ground rules in place."While some technology is available to help parents, Litwin said the most important thing parents can do is open up lines of communication with their children and make them aware of the risks in the digital world. "Every age has its own set of risks, but this is something that definitely needs to be communicated and talked about in the home, along with perhaps technology to help with screen time, or location, or filtering," he added. One technological tool parents can use is Canopy, an app that uses AI and machine learning to help families block inappropriate content. Litwin is the chief marketing officer for the service that helps parents create a "customized internet experience" to minimize online harm. "Parents feel disempowered, and they’re not aware that there are actually tools that they can use to help them navigate this digital age," he said.'We’re seeing more and more of this trend of a desire to move away from it.' Litwin offered another tactic that some young people are using to counteract digital harm: detoxing. "We are seeing a trend in young adults and adults where people are catching themselves," he added. "I think what is happening now is that people are actually thinking about how much time they’re actually spending on their phones. And it’s taking away from their social lives, they’re just scrolling aimlessly though Instagram or TikTok or YouTube," Litwin continued. "And so we’re seeing more and more of this trend of a desire to move away from it." He said that Canopy can aid in this effort by limiting access to specific harmful apps. "Because it’s so addictive, you really need to get the phone away from you. Or kind of force it to be turned off. We are seeing a need for screen-time management, but it’s not like what we’ve seen in the past where it’s just limiting time, but it’s about blocking out specific apps," Litwin explained. "With kids it’s hard to talk to them about detoxing when you’re a teen because you don’t want to miss out and you want to know what’s happening every second," he added. "But we are seeing young adults trying to break away from this."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
