The Dayton Ohio terrorist was a pro-ANTIFA far left wing activist who regularly followed far left wing media and activist accounts. One of the last Tweets Connor Betts engaged with was one from far left wing activist Jared Holt spreading disinformation about me. To know that a terrorist was reading about me hours before he went on his attack is chilling, and shows why the far left targets me. They are sending signals to their terrorist fan base.

Some would say that Connor Betts’ likes and retweets aren’t relevant.  We can dismiss that argument because all of the people cited above have said that content creators are responsible for their fans behaviors. For example, the Canada mosque shooting was blamed on Ben Shapiro because the attacker read Shapiro on Twitter. Read, The Washington Post, “Canadian Mosque Shooter Scoured Twitter Before the Attack.”

There have been also calls by Media Matters and others to deplatform conservatives under the theory that conservative “rhetoric” is radicalizing people.

Watch: Why does the far left wing media want civil war?

Here are some far left wing media and activist accounts Dayton Ohio terrorist would read and retweet.

Connor Betts was a fan of Media Matters.

Connor Betts was a fan of NBC “reporter” Ben Collins.

Ben Collins went on to television to falsely claim that Betts wasn’t “either side” politically.

This is false, as even a cursory review of Betts’ social media reveals. Betts’ was far left wing, he hated Trump and conservatives, and he loved the left.

One of the last Tweets Betts’ like was one spreading disinformation by me.

Far left wing activist Jared Holt falsely claimed I had advance knowledge of the El Paso shooting, due to a Tweet I imprecisely worded. (Holt did not contact me for comment before attempting to tie me to a major act of terrorism.)

Connor Betts was a huge fan of Jared Holt’s, and Holt himself panicked once this connection was discovered.

Connor Betts would like and Retweet Jared Holt regularly. Once Holt’s connection to the shooter was discovered, Holt went into damage control mode, deleting old Tweets and also blocked Betts. (Blocking Betts would cause all Retweets by Betts to disappear from Betts’ timeline.)

Connor Betts also enjoyed Will Sommer of the Daily Beast.

Connor Betts was hardcore far left, and he was reading Twitter hours or maybe even minutes before the attack.

Betts also said that he would vote for Elizabeth Warren and was an AOC supporter as well as an avowed socialist.

Connor Betts agreed with an amplified a death threat against Jack Posobiec 4 hours before the attack.

Posobiec is regularly the target of smear pieces by Ben Collins and Jared Holt, who the Dayton Ohio terrorist read and enjoyed.

While journalism matters, one is left wondering if those who obsessively write articles about Posobiec and other conservatives are sending signals to their readers, a target list if you will.

Watch: The Dayton Ohio shooter left a paper trail. Why did the media ignore it?

Join the 100 Ideas in 10 Days Spar Challenge here

I used to keep a practice of journaling 10 ideas a day. Read James Altucher’s article on journaling ideas here.

These ideas ranged from ways to solve big social problems to professional and personal ideas.

For our next spar challenge, which goes live in 36 hours, we’ll be writing down 10 ideas a day, each day, for 10 days.

If you don’t know what SPAR is, read this article and listen to this podcast:

——

Spar is a new app that combines social media with productive habits. It works like this:

• A person forms a group based on a shared goal.
• Each person who joins the group MUST check-in daily.
• If you check in daily, it’s free.
• Every day you don’t check it, you pay a penalty of $3.

We will be launching our own challenges.

Our first one goes live this Monday. You can join it here.

This is an introductory challenge and not particularly hard.

Do something physical every day for 60 minutes, and read a book uninterrupted for 30.

Something physical could be a walk, could be stretching, frankly it could be a massage. Anything that elevates your heart rate above resting is “physically active.” Yard work even counts. No one is saying you have to train for the Olympics to join.

Read whatever book you want. I’m not the book police. But you must read uninterrupted for 30 minutes. Phones on airplane mode or in the other room, please. I suppose you could count reading while doing cardio if you want to be clever, but it must be a reading book not an audio book, unless you’re visually impaired.

FAQs.

The only legitimate question is, “What if I get sick and can’t work out,” and of course just check in saying you have a cold and don’t want to spread your germs all over. (Thank you for that, by the way. Don’t go to the gym sick.)

Otherwise no questions, as I’ve found that people who ask a bunch of questions are delaying taking action or are looking for a way out. “What if [insert situation special to me and me only arises]?”

Don’t be a vibe killer.

If you want to procrastinate or whatever, that’s fine, too. Just stay away from me.

Today the Second Circuit Court of Appeals directed the parties in a case involving Jeffrey Epstein to provide the Court with any final redaction requests they have:

ORDER, dated 07/17/2019, ordering the parties Virginia L. Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell to file one-page letter briefs no later than 07/19/2019 indicating any additional locations in the record that might implicate the privacy interests of the individuals named on page 59, line 25 Exhibit KK of the motion for summary judgment, by JAC, RSP, CFD, FILED.[2610854] [18-2868] [Entered: 07/17/2019 02:23 PM]

These files are being unsealed as a result of a lawsuit first filed by Cerno Media and later joined by the Miami Herald. Cerno Media sought to unseal over 2,000 records implicating Jeffrey Epstein and his fellow sex traffickers. The lower court ruled against Cerno Media. Cerno Media filed an appeal.

While Cerno Media’s appeal was pending, the Miami Herald filed its own motion to unseal the records, lost before the same judge as we did, and they appealed.

The Second Circuit Court of Appealed reversed the lower court ruling, ordering the files the be released:

Michael Cernovich, and the Miami Herald Company (with reporter Julie Brown) appeal from certain orders of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Robert W. Sweet, Judge) denying their respective motions to unseal filings in a defamation suit. We conclude that the District Court failed to conduct the requisite particularized review when ordering the sealing of the materials at issue. At the same time, we recognize the potential damage to privacy and reputation that may accompany public disclosure of hard‐fought, sensitive litigation. We therefore clarify the legal tools that district courts should use in safeguarding the integrity of their dockets. Accordingly, we VACATE the District Court’s orders entered on November 2, 2016, May 3, 2017, and August 27, 2018, ORDER the unsealing of the summary judgment record as described further herein, and REMAND the cause to the District Court for particularized review of the remaining sealed materials.

Due the to scrutiny Cerno Media’s lawsuit and the Miami Herald’s extensive coverage brought, Epstein was arrested for sex trafficking.

As the Second Circuit Court of Appeals wrote, Cerno Media led the charge on the lawsuit to unseal the records in the Epstein case:

On January 19, 2017, Cernovich, an independent blogger and self‐described “popular political journalist,” moved to intervene, seeking to unseal the summary judgment record, and Dershowitz joined his motion. On April 6, 2018, after the case had settled, the Herald moved to intervene and unseal the entire docket. The District Court granted each of these motions to intervene, but denied the related requests to unseal in orders entered November 2, 2016, May 3, 2017, and August 27, 2018, respectively. The Appellants timely appealed from each of the orders denying their respective motions to unseal. Although each Appellant seeks the release of a different set of documents, all argue that the District Court failed to analyze the documents individually or properly apply the presumption of public access to court documents. We therefore ordered that the appeals be heard in tandem and held argument on March 6, 2019. On March 11, 2019, we issued an order to show cause why we “should not unseal the summary judgment motion, including any materials filed in connection with this motion, and the District Court’s summary judgment decision.”8 The parties timely filed their responses.

I joined comedian Kurt Metzger to talk culture, trends, and growing up. This one is more comedy focused and the lyrics are explicit. The podcast was a lot of fun, and you can find it here.

Every week, Kurt Metzger tries to find redemption in the awful things he’s said the week before. Can Kurt ever get right? Chances are he won’t, but you won’t want to miss a single episode.
