NEW: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore often tells the story of his great-grandfather's "exile" from South Carolina to Jamaica dead of night to escape a Ku Klux Klan lynching. Just one problem: the story is flatly contradicted by historical records. Here's what actually happened 👇 Moore's great-grandfather, the Rev. Josiah Johnson Thomas, preached at an Episcopal church in Pineville, SC, from 1922 through Dec. 1924, when he made an orderly and public transfer to Jamaica, his home country, to take over for a prominent Jamaican pastor who had unexpectedly died a week earlier. The Pineville church where Moore's great-grandfather preached had a stellar reputation within the local white community during his time there from 1922 through 1924, according to contemporary reporting. William Guerry, the Episcopal Bishop of SC (best known for his work to advance racial equality & who oversaw the ordination of Moore's great-grandfather) reported in 1924 the white community held the Pineville church in high regard for the work it performed for the black community. Guerry reported in 1925 the "colored work" at the Pineville church "is in a most prosperous condition." Guerry made no mention or suggestion in his reporting that the Pineville church or its pastors had any sort of conflict with the Ku Klux Klan, which operated openly in the 1920s but didn't have a chapter anywhere near Pineville during this timeframe. Moore's office declined to comment on this reporting when I first reached out to them over two weeks ago. Instead, they strongly insinuated I'm a racist for daring to question the story of his great-grandfather's escape from the Ku Klux Klan. Moore's fantastical tale of his great-grandfather's escape from the Ku Klux Klan to exile to Jamaica adds yet another asterisk to his remarkably inflated résumé, which is littered with lies about his place of birth, lies about his privileged upbringing, lies about his athletic achievements, lies about his academic achievements, and lies about his military achievements. All archival source documents are linked throughout the story & are available for your review. READ: freebeacon.com/democrats/wes…

New: A source familiar with the situation tells me that there are “several investigations” ongoing relating to Gov. Gavin Newsom — I’m told they are focused on his wife’s taxes his chief of staff. They did not originate from the main DOJ, but are out of Sacramento and involve whistleblowers, per source. DOJ is declining to comment.

Hunter is tweeting about the “Epstein Class.” This was recorded by Hunter 1/18/19 & sent to his escort contact “Eva.” She’d told him cost for 16 hrs was $9.5k & told him to wire $ to woman w/ Russia-linked email. During the timeframe, Joe sent Hunter $5k…

The “independent” Nebraska Senate candidate who’s running with the Democratic Party’s blessing, Dan Osborn, “has quietly removed all references to abortion from his campaign website as the self-styled centrist seeks to win over conservative voters in the deep red state,” @AndrewKerrNC reports. As recently as March 31, Osborn stated on his campaign website that he opposes “extreme national measures to ban abortion,” saying the federal government isn’t capable of resolving the issue and that efforts should instead be dedicated to reducing unwanted pregnancies (he did not explain how). That language has been removed from Osborn’s policy platform on his campaign website, which now contains no mention of the word “abortion.”

This morning we are introducing COGE — the Commission on Government Efficiency.

This Commission will find ways for our city to work smarter, faster, and more effectively for working people. 

New Yorkers deserve a city government as careful with their money as they are.

Clavicular goes off gear, immediately loses 20 pounds of muscle Kinda tragic. He could have achieved his roided up physique naturally with 3 years of solid training and nutrition. Now he’s small and his balls don’t work anymore.

Guy who uses his kid as a blood bag and pretends to be some sort of health expert endorses the use of steroids (including human growth hormone, which dramatically raises the risk of heart failure) What a disgraceful fraud.

Lol
