• Outcry as Police Cover Up Information in Death of Obama Chef, Including Unidentified Woman with Him

  27-08-2023 23:18
  
  If Barack and Michelle Obama were actually trying to build up conspiracy theories around the still-murky death of the family’s personal chef in July, they couldn’t be doing a much better job.
  As the Boston Herald reported on Tuesday, the office of the Massachusetts Medical Examiner last week officially ruled the death of Tafari Campbell an accidental drowning, but so little information has been released about the circumstances that First Amendment advocates and conservative critics a

  After Donald Trump turned himself in to authorities in Georgia on Thursday, Democrats were ecstatic over the release of his arrest photo, but it quickly became clear that the image seriously backfired on liberals.
  Trump immediately turned the release of his mug shot into a huge windfall in campaign donations.
  The ex-president parlayed the photo into $7.1 million in campaign donations in the few days since he was booked on charges that he tried to interfere in Georgia’s elections in 2020, a

  It’s funny.
  The far left and its establishment media shills are pretty darn quick to cry about “missing context” anytime a viral video or clip begins to paint their ideology in negative light.
  CNN, in particular, is pretty quick to weaponize “missing context” to best serve its needs.
  So imagine the humiliation this network must’ve felt — hypothetically, of course, given that CNN has no scruples — when it was caught red-handed in a “missing co
