Megyn Kelly Wonders Why All The Campus Protesters Are So Sad and Ugly (VIDEO)

Megyn Kelly wants to know what many of us are thinking.

As anti-Israel protests continue to rage across America’s college campuses, the former Fox News anchor questioned why so many of the protesters look like they need to focus on themselves rather than issues in the Middle East.

“Why are they so unattractive? Why are the protesters so homely?” she asked.

“I think attractive smart people are not drawn to this nonsense. They are living their lives, being successful.”

Having once been a thorn in the side of Donald Trump, Kelly has become a reliably sensible cultural commentator since leaving the mainstream media a few years ago.

Last month, she torched CNN’s legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin (known for once masturbating in front of his colleagues) after he attacked the integrity of Justice Clarence Thomas as he was hearing the case for Donald Trump receiving presidential immunity.

“In oral argument today, Justice Thomas is minimizing the severity of the 1/6 insurrection at the Capitol. Perhaps that’s because his wife was part of the conspiracy,” Toobin wrote on the X platform. “What a disgrace that he’s sitting on this case.”

Hi Toobin – fyi you waived your right to use the term “disgraced” about other lawyers when you took your dick out of your pants and jerked off in front of your collleagues https://t.co/MZwP2r1QOT

Kansas Ban on Child Sexual Mutilation Fails After Two RINO Traitors Flip Their Votes

A proposed ban on child sexual mutilation in Kansas failed on Monday when two RINO Republicans switched their votes.

Having passed the state Senate, supporters of the bill needed a two-thirds majority in the Kansas House of Representatives in order to override the veto of Democratic governor Laura Kelly.

ABC News reports:

The Kansas House voted 82-43 to overturn Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of a bill that also would have barred state employees who work with children from promoting social transitioning for kids who question or struggle with their gender identities. But supporters were two votes short of the necessary two-thirds majority.

Republicans who backed the bill argued that a ban would protect vulnerable children from what they described as experimental health care that could create long-term health issues. It would not only have banned surgeries for minors but also puberty blockers and hormone treatments. The Senate voted Monday morning 27-13 to override Kelly’s veto, the exact margin supporters needed there.

The two Republicans responsible were Reps. Jesse Borjon and Susan Concannon, who tried to frame their vote as support for limited government.

“We hear of bullying and ask authorities to make it stop,” Concannon said in a speech on the House floor. “We hear about mental health, about suicide, and ask why. We’re not listening to the impacted youth. Government involvement is not the answer.”

“I strongly support prohibiting gender reassignment surgery and limiting the use of hormone blockers,” added Borjon. “[But some parts of the bill] go too far in restricting mental and behavioral health care for children.”

Could not be more disappointed in the Kansas Legislature today. The vote to outlaw gender affirming care for minors failed by one vote today. @GAG_Kansas @GAG_Missouri and I will continue to fight to protect the children of Kansas.
We are just getting started. pic.twitter.com/4b5js406K7

Gov. Kelly, meanwhile, celebrated the state House’s vote to uphold her veto, describing it as a “win for parental rights.”

“I am glad that bipartisan members of the legislature have stood firm in saying that divisive bills like House Substitute for Senate Bill 233 have no place in Kansas,” she said in a statement. “The legislature’s decision to sustain my veto is a win for parental rights, Kansas families, and families looking to call our state home.”

WILL THEY ACCEPT? Iran Offers University Scholarships to Expelled Pro-Palestinian Students in U.S.

Iran’s Islamic region is offering a lifeline to students who were expelled from American universities over their participation in anti-Israel protests.

Many students have been suspended and are facing possible expulsion for their role in pro-Palestine protests at universities across the U.S. and Europe. Among those are the daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar, who recently revealed she had been suspended by Columbia for her role in organizing the demonstrations. 

According to the state propaganda outlet PressTV, the “head of an Iranian internationally renowned university” has signalled his intention to offer scholarships to any students who are expelled. 

The report states:

Head of Shiraz University, Mohammad Moazzeni, announced the decision at a gathering of university students and professors of Shiraz, the capital city of the southern Iranian province of Fars, in solidarity with American and European students supporting Palestinians in the months-long Israeli aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip.

…

Moazzeni criticized the harsh treatment of student protesters by the police in the US and Europe, saying, “They exert a lot of violence in order to contain this raging movement and have even threatened to expel the students from universities and hinder their employment in the future, and such autocratic methods show the decline of global arrogance.”

Announcing Shiraz University’s decision to offer scholarships to students expelled from European and American universities, Moazzeni said, “Students and even professors who have been expelled or threatened with expulsion can continue their studies at Shiraz University and I think that other universities in Shiraz as well as Fars Province are also prepared [to provide the conditions].”

While Shiraz University may not carry the same prestige as the likes of Columbia or Harvard, it would allow the students to study in an environment in which they feel comfortable. It will certainly be interesting to see whether any of the students take Iran up on the offer.

DIPLOMACY: Biden Calls U.S. Ally Japan ‘Xenophobic’ For Not Wanting Mass Immigration, Says It Hurts Their Economy

Joe Biden has described Japan, a staunch U.S. ally, as “xenophobic” for not wanting mass immigration.

In another diplomatic masterclass, Biden said the reason the U.S. economy was growing was because “we welcome immigrants.

“Think about it,” he said. “Why is China stalling so bad economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia?”

“Because they’re xenophobic,” he said. “They don’t want immigrants.”

The Japanese government has yet to respond to Biden’s comments.

While relations with China and Russia are at rock bottom, Japan is known as a staunch ally that cooperates with the U.S. on security matters and maintains strong economic ties.

Japan’s low immigration rates are due to a combination of cultural homogeneity, a preference for domestic labor, and historically strict immigration policies. As a result, the country has avoided many of the social and economic problems experienced by many other Western nations that have enabled mass immigration.

However, it is also known for its dangerously low birth rates, which unless rectified, could dethrone its status as a global economic power. Japan recently entered a recession and was replaced in its position by Germany as the world’s fourth-largest economic power.

Biden, meanwhile, has overseen the effective invasion of America’s southern border, with over 10 million people entering the country illegally since he took office in 2021.

TIME Magazine Prepares For Trump 2.0 With ‘If He Wins’ Cover Story, Outlines EPIC Second Term Agenda

TIME magazine has released a major cover story preparing its readers for Trump’s return to the White House.

In a long-form interview with the former president, journalist Eric Cortellessa establishes Trump’s key failing in his first term in office; he didn’t go far enough.

According to Cortellessa, Trump is planning his retribution through a series of policies, including a mass deportation campaign, gutting the deep state, and pardoning those involved in the January 6th protests.

#BREAKING: Trump Featured on @TIME Magazine Cover Following Recent Interview:

Trump: “Biden has done so many things so badly. And I’m not even talking the overt crime. I’m talking about the border, allowing all of the death and destruction at the border” pic.twitter.com/R5KueKkQv0

— Andy Hidalgo (@realandyhidalgo) April 30, 2024

The article, which is filled with the typical left-wing falsehoods, states:

What emerged in two interviews with Trump, and conversations with more than a dozen of his closest advisers and confidants, were the outlines of an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world.

To carry out a deportation operation designed to remove more than 11 million people from the country, Trump told me, he would be willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military, both at the border and inland. He would let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans. He would, at his personal discretion, withhold funds appropriated by Congress, according to top advisers. He would be willing to fire a U.S. Attorney who doesn’t carry out his order to prosecute someone, breaking with a tradition of independent law enforcement that dates from America’s founding.

He is weighing pardons for every one of his supporters accused of attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, more than 800 of whom have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a jury. He might not come to the aid of an attacked ally in Europe or Asia if he felt that country wasn’t paying enough for its own defense. He would gut the U.S. civil service, deploy the National Guard to American cities as he sees fit, close the White House pandemic-preparedness office, and staff his Administration with acolytes who back his false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen.

Fearing a backlash from Democrats, TIME also published a separate article outlining their decision to present Trump in such a positive light:

Interviewing political leaders has been a staple of TIME’s journalism for decades, as we report on the most influential people in the world and bring those insights to our readers and viewers. With six months to go until the U.S Presidential election, we want our coverage of this campaign to be of service to our readers, and to help the world and American voters understand what the candidates would do if elected.

Today, Donald Trump is in a better position to win the White House than at any point in the previous two campaigns. TIME’s Eric Cortellessa, who covers the Trump campaign, interviewed the former President twice in April to hear from Trump himself what a second term would look like.

Trump was TIME’s Person of the Year in 2016, while the magazine has previously acknowledged that there was a conspiracy to remove him from office back in 2020. If he can overcome the Democratic election fraud, he may reprise that accolade in 2024.

Cost of Gasoline Surges Again Under Biden, Up 18 Percent in Just Four Months

The cost of gasoline is once again surging across the U.S. as the Biden regime continues its war on energy independence.

Bloomberg reports that with only six months to go until the all-important presidential election, Biden’s efforts to lower the cost at the pump are in “jeopardy.”

The report states:

The calculus is getting tricky for Biden before an election in which the rising cost of living is expected to figure prominently in voting decisions. History has shown that the fortunes of US presidents are closely tied to prices at the pump, even though they have little control over the oil market in the short term. As violence roils the Middle East, US gasoline prices have surged 18% this year—and the summer driving season hasn’t started.

The Biden administration is just pathologically allergic to anything that would increase oil prices, and they have telegraphed that over and over again,” says Jim Lucier, managing director at Capital Alpha Partners, a research group in Washington. But, he adds, there’s not much the president can really do about it: “Biden is in a box on this question.”

LEADERSHIP: El Salvador’s Bukele Invited Cabinet to Meeting Then Asks Attorney General to Investigate Every Member For Bribery… Live On Air!

El Salvador’s President Nayyib Bukele stunned members of his cabinet on Monday but announcing plans to investigate them all for corruption.

In a public meeting broadcasted on the X platform, Bukele asks his Attorney General to investigate the entire executive branch:

As you can all see everyone here is part of the executive branch except for one person, the Attorney General, who is not part of the executive branch. He is here for a simple reason, I want to ask him in public to investigate everyone sitting here. Retroactively and into the future. I imagine there should be no problem with that.

Someone once asked me, are you not afraid of death? I said, of course, no one wants to die. I don’t want to die. But I am going to die one day like everyone, it is something you cannot escape. 100 years from now, none of us here will still be alive… but if there is one thing I fear and that is leaving a bad legacy.

I won’t be the president that didn’t steal but was surrounded by criminals. I want to be remembered as the president who didn’t steal and who didn’t let anyone else steal. And the one who put whoever did steal in prison. There are a couple who are already there.

No es el primero, y tampoco será el último.

Such measures are typical of Bukele, who since taking office in 2019 has launched a brutal yet successful crackdown against corruption and the country’s violent drug gangs.

Back in February, Bukele gave a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) where he urged attendees to keep up the fight against globalism.

“If you want globalism to die here too, you must be willing to unapologetically fight against everything and everyone that stands for it,” he explained. “Fight for your freedoms, fight for your rights.”

Stephen Miller Warns Biden Needs Presidential Immunity, Could Be Tried For War Crimes and Human Trafficking (VIDEO)

Former White House senior advisor Stephen Miller has warned that Joe Biden should hope that the Supreme Court rules in favor of Donald Trump’s request for presidential immunity.

In an interview on Newsmax, Miller argued that while Biden may be hoping that the Supreme Court rules against Trump’s request, he would benefit from a precedent of presidential immunity in case of his own prosecution for crimes committed while in office.

“If they say there’s no immunity for official acts, the moment Joe Biden leaves office, every single red city and red state DA in the country can charge him for financial crimes related to illegal student loan bailouts, can charge him for war crimes related to deaths of service members overseas, can charge him for human trafficking, human smuggling and by the way, more election interference than you can even count,” said Miller, who currently runs the America First Legal Foundation.

A clip of the interview was shared by Donald Trump on his Truth Social platform.

His comments come as the Supreme Court continues to hear arguments about Trump’s presidential immunity claim, which if upheld would bring an end to the lawfare campaign led by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith.

Trump’s lawyers have argued that no president in America history has ever faced criminal prosecution, underscoring the blatantly political nature of the Democrat’s lawfare campaign.

“In 234 years of American history, no president ever faced criminal prosecution for his official acts. Until 19 days ago, no court had ever addressed whether immunity from such prosecution exists,” they wrote in last month’s filing.

“To this day, no appellate court has addressed it. The question stands among the most complex, intricate, and momentous issues that this Court will be called on to decide.”

PATH TO BANKRUPTCY? Ford Losing $132,000 on Every Electric Vehicle Sold This Year

Ford is losing a staggering amount on every electric vehicle (EV) it sold in the first quarter of 2024, underlining the financially unsustainable nature of the industry.

The company reported a loss of $1.3 billion in its electric vehicle division in the first quarter results, equivalent to $132,000 for each of the 10,000 EVs it sold in the past three months.

CNN reports:

Ford, like most automakers, has announced plans to shift from traditional gas-powered vehicles to EVs in coming years. But it is the only traditional automaker to break out results of its retail EV sales. And the results it reported Wednesday show another sign of the profit pressures on the EV business at Ford and other automakers.

The EV unit, which Ford calls Model e, sold 10,000 vehicles in the quarter, down 20% from the number it sold a year earlier. And its revenue plunged 84% to about $100 million, which Ford attributed mostly to price cuts for EVs across the industry. That resulted in the $1.3 billion loss before interest and taxes (EBIT), and the massive per-vehicle loss in the Model e unit.

The losses go far beyond the cost of building and selling those 10,000 cars, according to Ford. Instead the losses include hundreds of millions being spent on research and development of the next generation of EVs for Ford. Those investments are years away from paying off.

Ford, meanwhile, is far from the only EV manufacuter feeling the pain at the moment. Even the most popular brands such as Elon Musk’s Tesla have seen a marked decline in sales, forcing the company to lay off 10 percent of its global workforce.

The news will come as a further blow to the Biden regime, which remains determined to force the transition to EVs despite the lack of clear scientific evidence about the economic and environmental benefits of doing so.

However, The New York Times recently reported that the Biden regime was giving up on many of its EV production targets as part of an election year “concession” to automakers and labor unions.

JUST IN: Scotland’s Far-Left, Anti-White First Minister Humza Yousaf to Resign After Just One Year in Office

Humza Yousaf, the First Minister of Scotland, will resign his position imminently, according to a report from The Times of London.

Yousaf, who leads the far-left, pro-independence Scottish National Party (SNP), had previously pledged to fight on after his government collapsed but has now acknowledged that there is no way forward.

The Times reports:

Humza Yousaf is preparing to quit as Scotland’s first minister after coming to the conclusion that his position is no longer tenable. Senior SNP figures have been told the nationalist leader decided over the weekend that there is no way for him to survive this week’s vote of no confidence and he may stand down on Monday.

It comes as Yousaf struggles to put ­together a coalition of MSPs that would keep him in office after he sacked the Scottish Greens from government. A close friend said: “Humza knows what’s best for the country and the party. He is first party activist and a party man, and that’s why he knows it’s time for someone else.”

A British Pakistani and practising Muslim, Yousaf notoriously gave a speech back in 2020 at the height of the Black Lives Matter riots where he complained about the number of white people in positions of power.

Just last month, he approved legislation implementing new “hate speech” laws intended to crack down on free speech and conservative opposition to progressive ideology. The move later backfired when thousands of people flooded the hate crime tip lines with reports of his own anti-white speech.

Having voted to remain part of the United Kingdom in 2014, Scotland remains subject to the British parliament. However, its government maintains autonomy on various policy issues ranging from healthcare to education as part of a devolution agreement signed by former Prime Minister David Cameron.

CNN POLL: Trump Posts Record Six-Point Lead Over Biden, Nine Points With Third Party Candidates

Donald Trump holds an impressive six-point lead over Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential race, according to the latest poll from CNN.

Even more encouraging for Trump is that with the presence of third-party candidates, he leads Biden by a staggering nine points.

CNN reports:

Trump’s support in the poll among registered voters holds steady at 49% in a head-to-head matchup against Biden, the same as in CNN’s last national poll on the race in January, while Biden’s stands at 43%, not significantly different from January’s 45%.

Looking back, 55% of all Americans now say they see Trump’s presidency as a success, while 44% see it as a failure. In a January 2021 poll taken just before Trump left office and days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, 55% considered his time as president a failure.

Other positive findings include 55 percent of voters saying his presidency was a success, while 61 percent see Joe Biden’s presidency as a failure:

Among all voters, when independent candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are included in the matchup, Trump holds 42% to Biden’s 33%, with Kennedy at 16%, West at 4% and Stein at 3%. Kennedy draws 13% each from supporters of Biden and Trump in the initial two-way matchup.

Assessing Biden’s time in office so far, 61% say his presidency thus far has been a failure, while 39% say it’s been a success. That’s narrowly worse than the 57% who called the first year of his administration a failure in January 2022, with 41% calling it a success.

Although polling data is notoriously unreliable, the findings may be an indication that Trump’s campaign is once again beginning to pick up steam.

Meanwhile, a Bloomberg/Morning Consult swing state poll this week found that Trump leads Biden in seven key swing states, while Biden maintains a two-point lead in Michigan.

Palestinian Athletes Invited to Compete at Paris Olympics… Without Having to Qualify!

Palestinian athletes will be given the opportunity to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games without having to qualify.

Thomas Bach, head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), confirmed that six to eight Palestinian athletes will be invited to participate in the Paris Games. Qualification events are currently ongoing.

“Whave made the clear commitment that even if no [Palestinian] athlete would qualify on the field of play… then the NOC [National Olympic Committee] of Palestine would benefit from invitations, like other national Olympic Committees who do not have a qualified athlete,” Bach said in an interview with Agence France-Presse.

Bach added that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) had always “supported in many different ways the athletes to allow them to take part in qualifications and to continue their training.”

His comments come as Israel comes under increasing pressure from around the world to ease its offensive against the Islamist group Hamas, which has led to the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians.

Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron has ordered that Russian athletes will be allowed to compete at the games, although only under a neutral banner. They must also have never publicly supported Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and have no links to the country’s military or security services.

“The situation between Israel and Palestine is completely different,” Bach added. “From day one, we expressed how horrified we were, first on the seventh of October and then about the war and its horrifying consequences. We have always been very clear, as we have been with the Russian invasion in Ukraine.”

Dozens of British Muslims Sentenced in Rape Gang Trial, Facing Combined Total of 346 Years in Prison

Dozens of predominantly Muslim men have been sentenced to a combined total of 346 years for sexually abusing girls in Yorkshire, England.

In a press release on Saturday, West Yorkshire Police confirmed that 25 men had been sentenced for various sexual related crimes:

Dozens of men who sexually abused young girls in Kirklees have been jailed for a combined 346 years following a major police investigation. Sentencing took place at Leeds Crown Court yesterday ( April 26 ) for the latest men convicted as part of Operation Tourway, a multi-year investigation into the non-recent sexual exploitation of young girls in North Kirklees.

Asif Ali (53) from Batley, Mohammed Tausif Hanif (39) from Dewsbury, Ali Shah (38) from Dewsbury, Moshin Nadat (38) from Heckmondwike, Sarfraz Miraf (38) from Dewsbury, Mohammed Nazam Nasser (38) from Batley and Amir Ali Hussain (45) from Batley were all sentenced for multiple offences.

…

An eighth man was also made subject of a hospital order following a finding of the facts at court.   Their conviction means 25 men have so far been sentenced for their roles in the rape, sexual abuse and trafficking of eight then young girls in North Kirklees between 1999 and 2012.

One of the men convicted received a sentence in excess of 30 years during the trials, most of which were protected by reporting restrictions to ensure those involved could be tried fairly.  Now, with the lifting of restrictions, 24 men brought to court so far can be named and full details of their sentences disclosed.

Operation Tourway is merely the latest case of predominantly Muslim men found guilty of heinous sex crimes against young girls, often on an endemic scale.

The most notorious of these cases was Rotherham grooming gangs scandal, where around 1,400 children were abused by gangs of British-Pakistani men, between 1997 and 2013.

Although some of the culprits were eventually convicted, many also evaded justice after police refused to act on reports of sexual abuse over fears they would be labelled as racist.

CRINGE: SNL’s Colin Jost Turns White House Correspondents Dinner into Biden Rally, Slobbers Over His Supposed ‘Decency’ (VIDEO)

Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost was the designated “comedian” for the White House Correspondent’s Association dinner on Saturday and there were no prizes for guessing his political views.

After “roasting” Trump and Biden with a series of tame and not particularly funny quips, Jost launched into an emotional tirade about his late grandfather where he praised the president’s supposed “decency.”

“My grandfather, a Staten Island firefighter, voted for you, Mr. President,” said Jost. “He voted for you and the reason that he voted for you is because you’re a decent man. My grandpa voted for decency and decency is why we’re all here tonight.”

“Decency is how we’re able to be here tonight,” he continued. “Decency is how we’re able to make jokes about each other and one of us doesn’t go to prison after — we go to the Newsmax after-party.”

Biden, meanwhile, used his remarks at the dinner to implore the media to support his campaign.

“I’m sincerely not asking you to take sides, but asking you to rise up to the seriousness of the moment,” he told the audience.

Minneapolis Pays Man $150,000 in Emotional Damages For Witnessing George Floyd’s Death

The city of Minneapolis has given a man $150,000 in damages for merely witnessing the death of Black Lives Matter icon George Floyd.

The Minneapolis City Council on Thursday approved a $150,000 settlement with Donald Williams, who claims his exposure to George Floyd’s death gave him post-traumatic stress disorder (PTDS).

The Star Tribune reports:

Williams, 35, filed a lawsuit against the city last spring, alleging that he was assaulted by police on the corner of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue while trying to intervene in Floyd’s arrest.

He was outside Cup Foods corner store the evening of May 25, 2020, when he saw then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for nearly 9 ½ minutes as Floyd begged for his life. Bystander video captured by teenager Darnella Frazier depicts Williams as among the most vocal observers, urging Chauvin to get off Floyd — who was by then unresponsive — and check his pulse.

…

Chauvin looked directly at Williams, grabbed a canister of chemical spray from his duty belt and began shaking it toward him and other bystanders expressing concern for Floyd’s welfare, according to the lawsuit. He was so vocal that Officer Tou Thao stepped toward him and placed a hand on Williams’ chest.

As a result of the since-convicted officers’ actions, Williams said he feared for his safety and endured pain, suffering, humiliation, embarrassment and medical expenses.

The payout is merely the latest in a long string of unintended consequences following on from Floyd’s death in 2020, which triggered months of violent Black Lives Matter riots and political demands from the far-left.

Despite Chauvin’s eventual conviction for murder, there remain serious questions as to whether he was actually responsible for Floyd’s death. According to his official autopsy, Floyd did not die from asphyxiation due to knee on his neck, but instead a fentanyl overdose that he ingested before his arrest.

Nevertheless, Chauvin continues to pay an extraordinary price for his acitons. Last November, he was stabbed dozens of times while in prison, leading to serious injuries that almost cost him his life.

Bill Barr Triggers CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Won’t Back Down on Voting For Trump (VIDEO)

Former Attorney General Bill Barr is not backing down on his support for Donald Trump, much to the dismay of CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.

Barr, who broke with the president over his refusal to investigate the widespread evidence of massive voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election, said that despite his concerns about Trump he remained a far better option than Joe Biden.

His intention to vote Trump was clearly triggering to Collins, who despite starting out at the conservative Daily Caller has now staked out a role as the voice of the liberal establishment.

Here is a transcript of the exchange:

BARR: So it’s not about me. I think that, that I’ve said this all along. If faced with a choice between two people, neither of which I think should be president, I feel it’s my duty to pick the person who I think would do the least damage to the country. And I think Trump would do less damage than Biden. And I think all this stuff about a threat to democracy, I think the real threat to democracy is the progressive movement. And in the Biden administration.

COLLINS: The Biden administration, or President Biden himself.

BARR: Biden’s, Biden’s support for the progressive agenda.

COLLINS: I think a lot of people hear that. And the case that we just talked about that went before the Supreme Court, essentially, and say, how can you see that and say that Biden is a greater threat to democracy?

BARR: Well, where are we losing our freedoms? We have our freedoms being constrained that they’re being constrained by, the progressive government and, you know, democracy especially, you know, from the Anglosphere democracies, the Five Eyes and so forth. The threats never been for autocratic government on the right.

COLLINS: But how specifically, is Biden threatening democracy?

BARR: The threat to freedom and democracy has always been on the left. It’s the collectivist, socialist, agenda. And that is where we’re losing our freedom. Parents are losing the freedom to control, their children’s education. And, you know, people can’t speak their mind without losing their jobs and things like that. This is worse than the McCarthy era. Where is that coming from? It’s not coming from the right.

COLLINS: Those two things that you just noted there, you believe are worse than a president of the United States trying to subvert the will of the people by overturning the results, no question.

BARR: No, I think I think a country well, all the things together, like we’re not enforcing our borders, we have open borders, we have lawlessness, in our cities, we have regulations coming fast and fierce. So telling people what kind of stoves they can use and what kinds of cars they have to drive and, you know, eliminating cars and and so forth. Yeah, those are those are the threats to democracy.

COLLINS: But but President Biden is not in control of what some school boards across the country.

BARR: He’s using the administrative–

COLLINS: You can make that argument, but.

BARR: He’s making.

COLLINS: How is that the same thing?

BARR: Major changes are being made in our country without without the democratic process. And they’re being made by bureaucrats in these agencies.

COLLINS: You, okay? Pause! You cannot argue that Republicans across the country are not doing that as well. My own hometown. There’s a huge fight at the library over which books kids can read. This is not something that is a single-party fight.

BARR: Do you think there are? Don’t you think there should be some limits on on what people are able to read? I agree, young people.

COLLINS: I just think people look at what you’re saying and they don’t. And maybe, maybe even Republicans who have concerns about what’s happening with school boards or, you know, the culture and don’t maybe abortion, even don’t equate that with with January 6th and Trump’s efforts. When you told him the the election was not stolen and he still went out there and said it was stolen and led a lot of people to believe that they don’t, those things aren’t equal. It feels like a false equivalency.

BARR: Well, I disagree, I think, and I think, the country is much more susceptible to losing freedoms by the excesses of the left, and they have been steadily and that’s clear. People lose their jobs. Kids can’t speak out in the classroom. They have to go along with what the professor says in order to get good grades and so forth. It’s become like Stepford Nation being directed by, the progressive elites.

…

COLLINS: It is what you said recently, which was that, you know, the conduct that was involved with Donald Trump, you said trying to subvert and prevent the progress, the execution of probably the most important process we have, which is the peaceful transfer of power after an election. Name one thing that Biden has done that’s worse than that.

BARR: I think this whole administration is a disaster for the.

COLLINS: Is worse than subverting the peaceful transfer of power.

BARR: Did he succeed?

COLLINS: Only because Vice President Mike pence stood in the way? And now the people who are lining up again say that they will not do what Mike pence did.

BARR: Look, I was very loud and saying, I thought it was a whole the whole episode was shameful. And I’m and I’m very troubled by it. And that’s why it’s not an easy decision. But I think when you have a Hobson’s choice, you have to pick the lesser of two evils.

Earlier this week, Trump thanked Barr for his endorsement but also accused him of letting the country down with his conduct in the wake of the 2020 presidential election.

“Wow! Former A.G. Bill Barr, who let a lot of great people down by not investigating Voter Fraud in our Country, has just Endorsed me for President despite the fact that I called him “Weak, Slow Moving, Lethargic, Gutless, and Lazy” (New York Post!),” Trump wrote on Truth Social.” Based on the fact that I greatly appreciate his wholehearted Endorsement, I am removing the word “Lethargic” from my statement. Thank you Bill. MAGA2024!

Keith Olbermann Cancels New York Times Subscription, Complains Their ‘Grudge’ Against Dementia Joe ‘Endangers Democracy’

Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann has cancelled his New York Times subscription over what he claims is their “grudge” against Joe Biden.

Posting on the X platform, Olbermann claimed he had been a subscriber to the Times since 1969 but would not return until its publisher, A.G. Sulzberger, was removed. 

In a screenshot attached to his post, Olbermann checked a box indicating he had “concerns about the New York Times’s coverage,” before adding that Sulzberger’s “grudge against Joe Biden is intolerable and endangers democracy.”

Goodbye, @nytimes
Subscriber since 1969

— Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) April 26, 2024

Olbermann’s comments come after a report from Politico that revealed the White House and The New York Times are currently engaged in a “petty feud.”

In a statement released this week, the Times blasted Biden for refusing to grant the paper more access and sit down interviews:

Mr. Biden has granted far fewer press conferences and sit-down interviews with independent journalists than virtually all of his predecessors. It is true that The Times has sought an on-the-record interview with Mr. Biden, as it has done with all presidents going back more than a century. If the president chooses not to sit down with The Times because he dislikes our independent coverage, that is his right, and we will continue to cover him fully and fairly either way.

However, in meetings with Vice President Harris and other administration officials, the publisher of The Times focused instead on a higher principle: That systematically avoiding interviews and questions from major news organizations doesn’t just undermine an important norm, it also establishes a dangerous precedent that future presidents can use to avoid scrutiny and accountability.

Olbermann, meanwhile, is notorious for his leftist rants and inappropriate behavior. Last month, he openly fantasized about Donald Trump’s assasination, stating there is “always the hope” he would end up the same way as Abraham Lincoln.

France Implements ‘Social Cleansing’ Campaign Ahead of Olympics, Starts Evicting Migrants From Homeless Camps

France has started evicting migrants from homeless encampments ahead of the Paris Olympic Games this summer.

According to a report from The Associated Press, authorities are cracking down on illegal migrants lining the streets as they seek to clean up the city’s image and improve security ahead of the games

French police evicted migrants from a makeshift camp in Paris a few steps away from the Seine River on Tuesday, the latest operation in what aid groups call a campaign of “social cleansing” ahead of the Summer Olympics.

Before dawn on an unusually cold April morning, around 30 teenage boys and young men from West Africa were awakened by police and urged to pack their tents and belongings. Most of them were underage and in the process of seeking residency papers.

Left-wing activists are already denouncing the campaign as a form of “social cleansing” against illegal migrants seeking to make their lives in France:

Such evictions and evacuations of migrant tent camps happen every spring after the end of a winter “truce” during which authorities put such actions on hold.

But aid groups working with migrants and other vulnerable people in the Paris region say these efforts are intensifying ahead of the Olympics. They note that people are being sent far away from the capital instead of being offered shelter in the Paris region, where many asylum-seekers have upcoming court dates.

“The authorities want to have a clean place for the Olympics Games. They don’t want the tourists to see Paris as a city full of migrants and asylum seekers,” Elias Hufganel, a volunteer with a group serving refugees and immigrants, said at the Paris tent camp Tuesday.

Under the leadership of globalist President Emmanuel Macron, France is notorious for its failure to control illegal immigration and the countless problems it brings.

REPORT: White House Aides Prohibit Biden From Walking Solo, Devise Special ‘Routine’ to Stop Him from Falling Over

The White House has introduced a special routine for when Joe Biden departs and returns to the White House on the Marine One helicopter.

According to a report from Axios, advisors to the geriatric president are increasingly concerned that his inability to walk properly is highlighting his old age and declining mental condition.

The outlet reports:

President Biden has introduced a change to his White House departure and return routine. Instead of walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One by himself, he’s now often surrounded by aides.

With aides usually walking between Biden and journalists’ camera position outside the White House, the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old’s halting and stiff gait. Some Biden advisers have told Axios they’re concerned that videos of Biden walking and shuffling alone — especially across the grass — have highlighted his age.

Can’t Make It Up: The President of the United States has been assigned “walkers.”

You heard that right. The man that has access to nuke codes now requires aides to escort him across a lawn.

These handlers now walk between Biden and the pool cameras, “to draw less attention to… pic.twitter.com/RO81Dvufb6

— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) April 26, 2024

Meanwhile, the White House has also “taken steps” to prevent the 81-year-old from falling over:

The White House also has taken steps to prevent the president from tripping, as he did last summer on a stage at the Air Force Academy. Biden increasingly has worn shoes with extra support, including a pair of black Hoka sneakers. His doctor has disclosed that the president suffers from “spinal arthritis” and “mild sensory peripheral neuropathy of the feet” which has contributed to his stiff gait while walking.

Biden resisted taking steps to account for his age early in his presidency, but has shifted gears recently. Besides the different footwear, he now enters Air Force One on a lower level, taking shorter stairs than the ones used on his early trips to climb to the plane’s cabin. Biden also continues to do physical therapy and stretching exercises most days.

Since seizing office back in 2021, Biden has repeatedly tripped, stumbled and outright fallen over while on official duties. Such incidents underline both his declining physical and mental health, amid a growing body of evidence that he is suffering from dementia or some other degenerative illness.

Mitch McConnell: $61 Billion Ukraine Aid Package ‘Not a Whole Lot of Money’

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has insisted that the recent U.S. foreign aid package to Ukraine was a small change for the American taxpayer.

In an interview with Fox News’s Dana Perino, McConnell said that the $61 billion foreign aid package passed by Congress last week was “not a whole lot of money.”

“It is only 0.2 per cent of our gross domestic product, so put in that context, it’s not a whole lot of money for us, but it’s a very significant step for them because it gives them the more sophisticated weapons they need to hold the Russians at bay,” he explained.

“Russians are trying to take their country and they have an enormous incentive, and it doesn’t require any of our personnel, we’re not getting any Americans killed, we’re helping them defend their independence and also degrade the military of one of our biggest adversaries,” he continued.

Fox News’ Dana Perino: “Is $60 billion [in the foreign aid package] enough money for Ukraine to push back Russia decisively?”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY): “Well, we hope so.” pic.twitter.com/pcJL0v3uKs

— The Recount (@therecount) April 24, 2024

The bill, which passed on a 79-18 vote, combines $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, $26 billion for Israel’s war against Hamas, and approximately $4 billion designated for the Indo-Pacific region. It also includes a provision that could potentially result in the banning of TikTok within the United States unless the company agrees to divest.

Earlier this week, McConnell also slammed conservative talk show host Tucker Carlson for the “demonization” of Ukraine among the Republican grassroots.

“I think the demonization of Ukraine began by Tucker Carlson, who, in my opinion, ended up where he It should have been all along, which is interviewing Vladimir Putin. And so he had an enormous audience, which convinced a lot of rank and file Republicans that maybe this was a mistake.”

SHOCK POLL: Nearly Half of Democrats Would Support Trump’s Plan For Mass Deportations

Nearly half of Democrats would support Donald Trump’s plan for mass deportations during his second presidential term, according to new polling data.

The poll, conducted by Axios in partnership with Harris Poll, found that 51 per cent of the American public would support the plan, including 42 per cent of Democrats, 68 per cent of Republicans and 46 per cent of independents.

Axios explains:

Half of Americans — including 42% of Democrats — say they’d support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, according to a new Axios Vibes survey by The Harris Poll. And 30% of Democrats — as well as 46% of Republicans — now say they’d end birthright citizenship, something guaranteed under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.

Americans are open to former President Trump’s harshest immigration plans, spurred on by a record surge of illegal border crossings and a relentless messaging war waged by Republicans. President Biden is keenly aware the crisis threatens his re-election. He’s sought to flip the script by accusing Trump of sabotaging Congress’ most conservative bipartisan immigration bill in decades.

But when it comes to blame, Biden so far has failed to shift the narrative: 32% of respondents say his administration is “most responsible” for the crisis, outranking any other political or structural factor.

Mark Penn, chairman of The Harris Poll and a former Clinton pollster, said the findings were a warning to Joe Biden that “efforts to shift responsibility for the issue to Trump are not going to work.”

“I was surprised at the public support for large-scale deportations,” he remarked. “I think they’re just sending a message to politicians: ‘Get this under control.”

In January, Trump pledged to implement the “largest deportation effort” in American history as the Biden regime continues to allow millions of illegal aliens to enter the country every year.

“Many of those people come from jails and prisons, many of those people come from mental institutions and insane asylums, and many of those people are terrorists,” he said at the time.

“We are going to have the largest deportation effort in the history of our country, bringing everybody back where they came from. We have no choice.”

El Paso DA Indicts 140 Illegal Aliens on Rioting Charges After Leftist County Judge Dismissed Their Case

The District Attorney for El Paso, Bill Hicks, has indicted 140 illegal aliens on rioting charges after a leftist county judge attempted to dismiss the case against them.

El Paso Times reports that Hicks presented the charges to a grand jury on Tuesday after El Paso County Judge Ruben Morales dismissed the charges on grounds of lack of probable cause.

This is the moment when TX National Guard became overrun by migrants rioting to get across the border here in El Paso today

We were there and saw it all happen. Absolute chaos here. pic.twitter.com/VN6Kf663ie

— Jennie Taer (@JennieSTaer) March 21, 2024

Hicks explained:

We took all 141 of those cases to a grand jury this morning. Because the judge’s ruling was limited to the complaint affidavit in front of him, it allowed us to take the broader case to the grand jury.

We presented the case as a whole. We presented videotape evidence of what happened. The grand jurors believed there was, in fact, probable cause. The citizens of El Paso, through the grand jury, essentially overruled the judge’s ruling and found probable cause to believe that the riots did occur.

Traditionally, we reserve the grand jury for felony indictment, and we don’t take misdemeanors to a grand jury. However, when there is a question regarding probable cause, I believe it is fair to take these cases to 12 citizens of our community.

El Paso County Public Defender Kelli Childress, who is defending the illegals against criminal prosecution, condemned the indictment and called it a violation of their human rights:

We pretty much predicted that was their plan, which is why we sought a probable cause hearing in advance of today’s grand jury. I can’t say we didn’t know it was coming. We didn’t know exactly when. Knowing that it was coming doesn’t at all ease the fact that I think it is a horrible move. I think it is a blatant violation of constitutional rights and human rights.

I find it pretty amazing that they were able to indict 140 misdemeanor cases basically overnight, yet I have hundreds and hundreds of felony cases waiting to be charged for more than a year. They can claim all they want that this isn’t about politics and it’s not about immigration laws, but their actions scream otherwise.

This is not the first time that an El Paso judge has sided with illegal aliens over the rule of law.

Last month, El Paso Magistrate Judge Humberto Acosta ordered the release of dozens of migrants who engaged in a violent encounter with National Guard troops along the Rio Grande as they attempted to enter into the country illegally.

‘Where They Both Die’: Nasty Chris Christie Wishes Death on Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has appeared to wish death on Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy.

The failed presidential candidate spoke at an event on Tuesday at the University of Chicago titled ‘Does the Truth Still Matter? In Conversation With Chris Christie.’

“I would have preferred any of those people over Trump,” Christie said when asked about other Republican candidates. “Ramaswamy and Trump, I would have hoped for a death match where they both die.”

The comments led to awkward laughs from the audience, while the moderator asked him whether he meant “a literal death match.”

“Yes,” Christie responded, “Where they both die.”

Having been a vocal supporter of Trump in 2016 and interviewing for a position as his chief of staff, Christie has viciously turned his back on both the former president and the MAGA movement.

He recently flirted with the prospect of running as an independent but has since closed the door on the idea on the grounds that there is no chance he could win.

“I appreciate the encouragement I’ve gotten to pursue a third-party candidacy,” Christie said last month. “While I believe this is a conversation that needs to be had with the American people, I also believe that if there is not a pathway to win and if my candidacy in any way, shape or form would help Donald Trump become president again, then it is not the way forward.”

PARODY? Gavin Newsom Releases Bizarre Pro-Abortion Ad Showing Women Fleeing Alabama, Being Forced to Take Pregnancy Tests (VIDEO)

Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom released an ad over the weekend showing young women attempting to escape Alabama for an abortion.

The video shows two young women attempting to flee Alabama before being stopped by a police officer who asks them to take a pregnancy test.

“We’re almost there. We’re gonna make it,” the woman’s friend says when a police vehicle suddenly pulls them over.

“Trump Republicans want to criminalize young Alabama women who travel for reproductive care,” the narrator says. “Stop them by taking action.”

“Alabama’s abortion ban has no exceptions for rape or incest,” Newsom wrote. “Now, Republicans are trying to criminalize young women’s travel to receive abortion care. We cannot let them get away with this.”

California Fast Food Prices Skyrocket Following Imposition of $20 Minimum Wage

The price of fast food restaurants in California has surged after the state imposed a $20 minimum wage law.

According to an analysis from Kalinowski Equity Research, fast-food restaurants across the Golden State have hiked prices by around eight percent since the law went into effect at the beginning of this month.

The New York Post reports:

Wendy’s raised its menu prices by around 8% while Chipotle Mexican Grill hiked its prices by approximately 7.5%. Starbucks, the Seattle-based coffee chain, raised the prices of its menu items at its California locations by around 7%, while Taco Bell hiked its prices 3%, the report found.

…

It found that Burger King instituted an average price increase of 1.4% for its Whopper Meal and 2.1% for its BK Royal Crispy Chicken Meal at the 25 locations. The report’s authors did the same for Chipotle, which was found to have boosted the price of its Chicken Burrito by 8.3% and its Steak Burrito by 7% at 25 locations in California between Feb. 7 and April 2.

Wendy’s also instituted substantial price hikes on staple menu items such as Dave’s Combo and the Classic Chicken Sandwich Combo. In a comparison of prices from Feb. 12 and April 2 at 25 Wendy’s stores in California, the company raised the price of both items by an average of 8%. McDonald’s appears to be the only fast food chain that has largely held off on raising its menu item prices, according to the report.

As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, many restaurants have also been forced to lay off thousands of workers as the cost of hiring them became unaffordable. Among these are Pizza Hut and Round Table Pizza, both of whom have confirmed they will be laying off 1,280 delivery drivers over the course of this year.

Meanwhile, some restuarants are using the wage hike as an opportunity to accelerate their transition to automated service, which will lead to even more job losses over the coming months and years.

RINO Rep. Tony Gonzales Calls His Republican Colleagues ‘Real Scumbags’ on CNN – Compares Them to The KKK for Not Funding Ukraine

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) did not hold back when describing some of his Republican colleagues in Congress.

Appearing on CNN’s ‘State of the Union’ with host Dana Bash, Gonzales was asked about the passing of the recent multi-billion foreign aid package and the possibility that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson may be removed from office.

Rather than taking a diplomatic tone in favour of party unity, the Texas Congressman unloaded on Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Bob Good (R-VI), making various spurious allegations about their political and private lives.

Here is a transcript of the exchange:

BASH: So, you voted yes on the foreign aid package. Do you have confidence that at this point, given that it is still possible that Marjorie Taylor Greene will push to vacate, to kick out of the Speaker’s chair, that he can survive?

GONZALES: He will survive. Look, the House is a rough and rowdy place, but Mike Johnson is gonna be just fine. I served 20 years in the military. It’s my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags. Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties. Bob Good endorsed my opponent, a known neo-Nazi.

These people used to walk around with white hoods at night. Now they’re walking around with white hoods in the daytime. Look, it didn’t surprise me that some of these folks voted against aid to Israel, but I was encouraged to see by a nearly 10-to-1 mark that Republicans supported our allies on the battlefield.

BASH: Wow, ok, I should say that the federal government did look into Matt Gaetz and those allegations and they decided not to prosecute.

As you can see from the final exchange, even Bash was shocked by Gonzales’s remarks.

Columbia’s Rabbinical Leaders Urge Jewish Students to Stay Home Amid ‘Extreme Antisemitism and Anarchy’

Columbia University’s rabbinical leaders have urged Jewish students to seek refuge at home until the situation around the campus has “dramatically improved.”

According to a text obtained by CNN’s Jake Tapper, the leaders of Columbia’s Jewish Learning Initiative on Campus, Rav Elie and Tamar Buechler, sent a WhatsApp message to students following dramatic anti-Israel demonstrations in which over 100 people were arrested.

They wrote:

What we are witnessing around campus is terrible and tragic. The events of the last few days, especially last night, have made clear that Columbia University’s Public Safety and the NYPD cannot guarantee Jewish students’ safety in the face of extreme antisemitism and anarchy.

It deeply pains me to say that I recommend you return home as soon as possible and remain home until the reality in and around campus has dramatically improved.

It is not our job as Jews to ensure our own safety on campus. No one should have to endure this level of hatred, especially at school.

In response to “horrific” scenes of antisemitic harassment at and around campus, the Orthodox Rabbi at Columbia/Barnard sent a WhatsApp message to more than 290+ Jewish students this morning recommending that they go home until it’s safe again for them on campus: pic.twitter.com/uqAntEICLv

KHANNA: He does. Look, we came into Congress together and he always cared about civility. He actually led the civility pledge. And he – we had one issue, which was give individual votes. Don’t lump things together. And I give him credit for doing this. I would actually vote to table any motion to vacate him. You know, Congressman McCaul quoted Churchill. One of the things Churchill said is that America always exhausted every wrong option until doing the right thing. And this shows that American democracy still is very strong.

KARL:  You just said something significant. You said you would oppose the tabled – the motion to vacate. In other words, you will protect Speaker Johnson’s job if Marjorie Taylor Greene and the others go through with their threat to try to remove him?”

KHANNA: I would, through the end of the term. I expect Speaker Jeffries will be there in 2025.

KARL: Right – not – speaker, yes. Yes.

KHANNA: But look, I’m a progressive Democrat and I think you would have a few progressive Democrats doing that. And I disagree with Speaker Johnson on many issues and have been very critical of him. But he did the right thing here and he deserves to keep his job until the end of his term.

Khanna’s comments come as various Republicans, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar and Thomas Massie, have indicated they no longer have confidence in his leadership, amid rising anger at his commitment to funding foreign conflicts while the southern border remains wide open.

New York Home Depot Hires Guard Dogs to Protect Customers From Migrant Grifters

A New York Home Depot has gone to extreme lengths to protect its customers from the state’s increased problem with lawlessness.

According to The New York Post, the store in Rochelle, New York has employed a guard dog and private security to try and solve the issue, which continues to grow worse as the Biden regime continues to allow millions of people cross into the country every year.

The Post reports:

Two men wearing MSA Security caps and bulletproof vests with a German Shepherd in tow patrolled the Home Depot in New Rochelle on Tuesday.

“It’s more about omnipresence,” one guard said, explaining that the company was contracted a few weeks ago. “It’s not like we let them go bite anyone or anything.”

…

The guarded New Rochelle lot was quiet and no migrants loitered there when The Post visited this week, however, seven miles away in Throggs Neck, The Bronx, at least 30 male migrants hovered at the doors of Home Depot.

Some were day laborers simply trying to “shape” for work with local contractors. But many others aggressively confronted shoppers, trying to sell them phony Apple Airpods or soliciting tips for lifting items from shopping carts into cars — even when uninvited.

The Post also spoke to some of the customers and wokrers who have to deal with the unwelcome attention:

“You come out and you’re a woman by yourself, they literally leech onto your wagon, and you’re like ‘No, I don’t need any help,’” one worker said. “And when they’re following you to your car, it’s unnerving.”

She said a female supervisor saw one of the men washing his privates with a water bottle in the lot, and that several women have called customer service to complain that migrants robbed them of purses or phones. She’s seen the number of grifters in the lot swell as the migrant population in New York City explodes.

…

Customers frequently complain about the crush of migrants, said LaurieAnn Masciocco, who works in the store’s customer service department.

“It’s come to the point where they’re invading personal space, touching people’s belongings, just harassing,” she said. “I get it, you’re trying to make a buck. But when it becomes aggressive and harassing there’s a major issue.”

“While we can’t go into specifics about our security measures, it’s not unusual for us to use third-party security at various stores across the country,” a spokesperson for Home Depot said.

Such unpleasant experiences are now part and parcel of living in New York, where Democratic authorities continue to pay for the lifestyles of illegal aliens and provide them “sanctuary” from deportation.

New York City Mayor has repeatedly warned that the issue of mass immigration will “destroy” New York City, although continues to endorse the open-border policies of the Biden regime.

SHOCK: Yet Another BLM Activist Found Guilty of Fraud, Stole $450,000 From Hapless Donors

Yet another Black Lives Matter activist has been convicted of defrauding donors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In a press release on Thursday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio confirmed that Sir Maejor Page, 35, of Toledo, was convicted wire fraud and three counts of money laundering following a six-day trial.

The release stated:

According to court documents and testimony, in 2016, Page created a Facebook page for “Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta” (“BLMGA”) and registered this organization as a domestic non-profit with the Georgia Secretary of State Corporation’s Division. In 2017, the IRS approved Page’s request granting BLMGA tax-exempt status under Section 503(c)(3) of the tax code, but dissolved this status in 2019.

Page nonetheless accepted donations after falsely portraying BLMGA to the public as a legitimate charity engaged in social justice work, when in fact, it was not. Instead, Page used the money that individual donors gave to BLMGA not for social justice causes, but rather to buy items for his own personal use, such as a house and furniture. Page also committed money-laundering crimes when he bought these items with the donations that he fraudulently obtained.

United States Attorney Rebecca C. Lutzko, for the Northern District of Ohio also weighed in on the verdict: 

The United States Attorney’s Office prioritizes the prosecution of white-collar criminal conduct, particularly conduct involving deceptive schemes that selfishly exploit a charitable donor’s goodwill for personal gain.

The donors to BLMGA thought they were giving their hard-earned money to a cause they believed in. But instead of using it to support that cause, Page used it for himself. The jury’s verdict is a warning to every fraudster that when you misrepresent how donations or other money given to you in trust will be used, you will be prosecuted and punished.

According to The New York Times, Page stole around $450,000.

The conviction is merely the latest in a litany of similar cases where individuals invovled with the far-left Black Lives Matter organization have been caught skimming hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars for their own personal gain.

Last year, even mainstream media organizations acknowledged that only a third of donations actually went towards charitable causes, while those at the highest ranks of the movement financed luxury lifestyles with donor funds.

CLIMATE FAIL: New York to Scrap Most Its Offshore Wind Projects, Not Economically Viable

The state of New York has confirmed that it will be scrapping most of its signature offshore wind projects, in a major blow to all those pushing the climate change hoax.

The projects were intended to help the state achieve its goal of 70 percent renewable energy by 2030 while becoming a nationwide leader in renewable energy, although they have now been deemed unviable.

Politico reports:

NYSERDA, the state authority in charge of the deals, announced Friday that no final agreements could be reached with the three projects that received provisional awards in October 2023. Those bids were all linked to major supply chain investments by General Electric and a larger turbine it planned to build that was aimed at boosting the region’s renewable energy portfolio.

“Subsequent to the provisional award announcement, material modifications to projects bid into New York’s third offshore wind solicitation caused technical and commercial complexities between provisional awardees and their partners, resulting in the provisionally awarded parties’ inability to come to terms,” NYSERDA wrote in an announcement.

The report adds that while New York is not giving up on wind power entirely, the decision does represent a serious setback:

It’s not the total end of offshore wind in New York but does represent a setback. There are still some projects off the coast of Long Island and New Jersey on the drawing board and one is already operational.

…

Environmental advocates are alarmed by the challenges facing the industry. Offshore wind is key to reaching New York’s goal of 70 percent renewable energy sources by 2030, along with other longer-term targets. But there is growing evidence that the mandate will be hard to reach.

Such news underlines the growing body of evidence that wind power and other forms of renewable energies are not practical alternatives to meeting America’s long term energy needs, all while the Biden regime wages war on the country’s vast natural energy reserves.

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt Gets Cold Feet, Won’t Commit to Signing Anti-Illegal Immigration Bill

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt has refused to confirm whether he will sign a bill cracking down on illegal immigration across the state.

At a press conference on Friday, Stitt said that despite supporting measures to curb the invasion at the southern border, he was still undecided as to whether he would sign House Bill 4156 if it is approved by the Oklahoma Senate.

“I’m not going to make a decision right now whether I will sign it or not,” Stitt said during the press conference. “There’s too many variables on, you know, what’s in the bill. Our team will look at it, and we will review that.”

However, Stitt insisted that whatever he decides, Oklahoma will remain a “law and order state.”

Among the bill’s provisions include declaring a state of emergency at the southern border and creating a crime known as impermissible occupation, which would apply to all those who have entered the country illegally and have yet to be deported.

“The Legislature finds that the presence of persons who are unauthorized to be present within the State of Oklahoma is a matter of statewide concern,” the bill states.

“Any alien who has been denied admission, excluded, deported, or removed, or has departed the United States while an order of exclusion, deportation, or removal is outstanding, and thereafter enters, attempts to enter, or is at any time found in Oklahoma shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a felony and shall be punished.”

Those found guilty would face fines of up to $500, a year in prison, or both. They would also have 72 hours to leave the state of Oklahoma.

Similar bills have been passed in states such as Texas and Iowa, although both have been held up by multiple legal challenges filed by those advocating the opening of America’s borders.

OUCH: Trump Denies Former CNN Host Brian Stelter Press Credentials, Tells Him to Apply for General Admission Ticket Instead

The notorious left-wing media propagandist Brian Stelter just cannot catch a break.

After being let go by CNN and recently complaining about how people still compare him to a baked potato, Stelter was recently denied press credentials to Trump campaign events.

Vanity Fair reports:

In recent weeks, the campaign has taken similar punitive measures against other reporters, according to multiple sources familiar with the moves. An Axios reporter had their credentials approved for an event and then revoked the same day, following the publication of a story about the Trump-led Republican National Committee’s struggles in swing states. (An Axios spokesperson declined to comment.) At least one other Post reporter was temporarily denied press credentials to multiple events after accurately reporting on Trump’s public statements. Most recently, Brian Stelter, a special correspondent for Vanity Fair, was denied press access to Trump’s rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.

Reporters who’ve been iced out in recent weeks have not been banned outright from events; they can still go as a member of the public, but that requires getting to rallies much earlier, which could be a deal breaker for some journalists given their busy schedules. “It’s harder for people to accuse them of shutting out reporters because it’s pockets of people, and it’s typically temporary,” said one political reporter. And it’s not just events, they added. “If they’re pissed off about a story, they won’t talk to you for a week or two.” I spoke with a number of reporters for this story who declined to discuss the dynamic with the campaign out of a fear of losing access.

In a statement provided to the publication, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung pushed back against suggestions that the campaign were denying access to said events, urging them to apply for general admission tickets instead:

Nobody has been denied any access to our events. If reporters want to cover our events but are unable to secure a coveted press badge, they are more than welcome to apply for general admission tickets in order to experience our events. Throughout this campaign, we have been the most press-friendly and accessible [campaign] in modern history. We have flown reporters on Trump Force One, let them live stream from inside our motorcades, and given access that has never been granted during legal days. We don’t let petty differences get in the way of using the media to get our message out.

However, there have been certain reporters who have engaged in unethical conduct or breached basic journalistic standards of sharing privileged information to other campaigns and individuals… Unfortunately for those people, they can never be trusted again and will never be given the benefit of the doubt on this campaign or when we return to the White House.

Sadly for Stelter, it appears that he is one of them. He will either have to apply for a general admission ticket or risk missing out altogether.

DISGUSTING: Biden Aides Have a Risible Nickname For Donald Trump and (Shock) It Involves Adolf Hitler

Members of the Biden administration have a nickname for Donald Trump and it is as pathetic and unoriginal as it gets.

According to Politico’s West Wing playbook, some Biden aides are referring to Trump as “Hitler Pig,” although this is generally confined to younger members of the regime:

That moniker, four people in Biden’s orbit told West Wing Playbook, is one that aides to and allies of the president — generally younger, more digitally native individuals, not senior staffers, one person clarified — frequently use to describe Trump.

A Google search of the term brings up various images (search at your own risk) depicting the former president as, well, a pig. With a swastika armband. That suggests the characterization started online and was adopted later by people in the president’s orbit.

The report continues:

According to the four people who were granted anonymity to speak to West Wing Playbook about the term’s usage in Biden world, it started in late 2022 after Trump invited NICK FUENTES, an avowed white nationalist and Holocaust denier, to dinner at Mar-a-Lago along with the rapper KANYE WEST.

Calling Trump “Hitler Pig” is not so much an attempt to inject some levity into private conversations as it is a way to characterize what Biden aides see as one of Trump’s most outrageous behavior patterns, the four people all said.

Biden, meanwhile, is said to be “far saltier behind closed doors” when discussing his precedessor, although tries (and often fails) to keep his grievances out of the public eye.

The Trump campaign responded to the report by pointing out Biden’s emphasis on so-called “decency.”

“Joe Biden talks a lot about decency, but he and his staff don’t have a decent bone in their bodies,” said Brian Hughes, a senior campaign adviser. “These ridiculous and gross comments reflect the failure and dishonesty of the entire Biden operation.”

‘YOU BETTER HAVE A PLAN’: Dr. Phil Urges People to Prepare Their Resistance Against The Next Lockdowns

Dr. Phil McGraw has urged people to plan their resistance against the next time the government attempts to lock down the civilian population.

Addressing the audience on his eponymous show, McGraw explained how he had been demonized for his stance against the tyrannical COVID lockdowns but has since been proven right.

Now, McGraw is urging people to prepare for the next time governments attempt to shut the schools and place an entire population under house arrest:

When I stepped up in the beginning and said this lockdown is going to create more problems with quality of life than COVID is going to do with taking lives — people looked at me like I was insane. I got criticized, called a heretic, they said ‘what is he talking about.’ I’ll tell you what I was talking about, I was talking about exactly what happened and is happening.

When you shut down the schools, the day you shut them down, you better have a plan for reopening them. I didn’t see a plan for them to be reopened. And we have an entire generation that is suffering from developmental gaps, educational gaps, mental and emotional challenges and still there’s not a good plan to close those gaps.

And my concern is when the next pandemic turns the corner, who’s got the plan then…we need to think about whether we’re going to rely on science and how we’re going to react when the government comes in and starts telling us what we can and can’t do. I think we need less government, I think if they would step back, we tend to have a way to work these things out.”

We can’t just move on and forget about the disaster of school closures. Otherwise it will happen again and innocent children will suffer even more. We need more people like Dr. Phil who push for accountability and put the needs of children first:

While he has not yet come out as a conservative or a Republican, McGraw has recently been talking sense on a variety of issues.

Among his criticisms have been the racist Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) agenda, transgender surgeries on vulnerable children, Joe Biden’s open border and the widespread support for Hamas across America’s universities.

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto Votes Against Mayorkas Impeachment… Days After Senior Adviser Was Killed By Illegal Alien

Senator Catherine Cortez Masto declined the opportunity to impeach the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, for his failure to secure the southern border while an illegal alien languishes in custody over the killing of one of her senior advisers.

Posting on the X platform, Cortez Masto described efforts to impeach Mayorkas as a “waste of time”:

There is no evidence that [Secretary Mayorkas] committed high crimes and misdemeanors, so I voted to end this waste of time. Republicans could have made real policy changes, but they decided to play games and killed the bipartisan border package in favor of this frivolous impeachment.

Impeachment is not a tool to iron out policy disagreements. If Republicans were serious about actual solutions, they’d vote for the bipartisan border package — but they’re not.

Her comments came just days after an illegal alien was arrested in connection with the death of Kurt Englehart, who was working as a senior advisor to Cortez Masto.

Reno Gazette-Journal (RGJ) reports:

Elmer Rueda-Linares was in a two-vehicle crash about 4:30 a.m. April 6 at Kietzke and Peckham lanes that killed Kurt Englehart, state senior adviser to Cortez Masto, a Democrat.

On April 8, federal officers placed an immigration detainer — or “ICE hold”— on Rueda-Linares, who is being held at Washoe County Jail, the Department of Homeland Security told the RGJ in a statement Tuesday.

The initial charge against Rueda-Linares of felony hit-and-run has been changed to failing to stop at the scene of an accident, according to the sheriff’s office. He is being held on $100,000 bail.

As well as refusing to even consider the impeachment Mayorkas, Cortez Masto has repeatedly insisted that there is no open border policy between the U.S. and Mexico, despite the invasion of more than 10 million illegals since Joe Biden seized office in January 2021.

TYRANNY: Bank of America, USAA ‘Debank’ Conservative Election Fraud Attorney Dr. John Eastman

Two major banks have closed the accounts of conservative attorney John Eastman in retaliation for his advocacy against Democratic election fraud.

The Daily Caller reports that Eastman, who was recently disbarred by a left-wing judge in California over his efforts to expose massive fraud that marred the 2020 presidential election, had bank accounts with Bank of America and USAA closed without warning.

Eastman confirmed that he had already moved most of his money from Bank of America to USAA over concerns that the former was involved in leftist advocacy. Both of these accounts are federally insured and received massive taxpayer bailouts during the 2008 financial crisis.

Yet despite their links to the federal government, Eastman revealed that both of his accounts were closed within the space of two months.

The Daily Caller explained:

Bank of America alerted Eastman in September of 2023 that it would be closing his accounts, a letter obtained by the Daily Caller shows. Shortly thereafter, USAA notified Eastman in November that his two bank accounts with the company would be closed, a separate letter shows.

“And then two months later, we get a similar letter from USAA saying that they’ve decided that they’re going to close your account and they did like three weeks later,” Eastman told the Daily Caller. “And so that was where all of our automatic payments were coming out of, all our automatic deposits. So it was a real pain to shift everything. We had to get a new bank account opened and shift everything over.”

…

Eastman told the Daily Caller he was using the accounts he had set up with Bank of America and USAA for personal finances. He and his wife qualified for USAA bank accounts because his father-in-law served in the Navy in WWII and in the Marines in the Korean War, the attorney told the Daily Caller.

“We had Bank of America accounts for about 40 years. But just because of their wokeness we kind of quit a couple of years ago, using them much. They’ve got physical locations and therefore easy ATM, so we kept our accounts there, but we didn’t use much. And about four or five years ago, we opened USAA bank accounts and we were using those as our primaries,” Eastman said.

As extensively reported by The Gateway Pundit, debanking has become one of the left’s favorite methods of going after their opponents. In 2021, this very publication was unceremoniously banned from PayPal, despite never violating its terms of service.

Over in the U.K., Brexit leader Nigel Farage also found that he was being denied accounts by major banks. After campaigning on the issue, he received an apology from Natwest (of which the British government is a major shareholder) and eventually forced the resignation resignation of its CEO Dame Alison Rose.

When individuals or organizations lose access to bank accounts, many of them lose large amounts of revenue and must find alternative methods of banking within a short space of time.

Just this week, over dozen Republican Attorney Generals sent a letter to raising concerns about how they were actively targeting the accounts of conservative or anti-establishment entities.

“Your discriminatory behavior is a serious threat to free speech and religious freedom, is potentially illegal, and is causing political and regulatory backlash,” the letter states. “Your bank needs to be transparent with and assure us, its shareholders, and others that it will not continue to de-bank customers for their speech or religious exercise.”

Megyn Kelly Humiliates Disgraced CNN Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin After He Attacks Justice Clarence Thomas’s Integrity

Megyn Kelly did not mince her words when dealing with CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin.

As well as being a part of the left-wing commentariat, Toobin is notorious for an incident back in 2020 when he was caught masturbating during a Zoom call with colleagues, claiming he did not know the camera was on.

Toobin took time off following the incident, before returning following the year. He officially exited the network in 2022, although has appeared regularly on the network since then. He remains determined rehabilitate his image and opine on the events of the day, even writing a book about right-wing extremism.

On Wednesday, Toobin attacked the integrity of Justice Clarence Thomas after he allegedly played down the significance of the January 6th protests against the 2020 election fraud.

“In oral argument today, Justice Thomas is minimizing the severity of the 1/6 insurrection at the Capitol. Perhaps that’s because his wife was part of the conspiracy,” Toobin wrote on the X platform. “What a disgrace that he’s sitting on this case.”

Megyn Kelly was having none of it.

“Hi Toobin – fyi you waived your right to use the term “disgraced” about other lawyers when you took your dick out of your pants and jerked off in front of your collleagues,” she responded.

COWARD: Biden Ignores Calls From Leftist Media, Won’t Commit to Debating Trump

Leftist media organizations are demanding that Donald Trump and Joe Biden commit to hold a series of debates in accordance with the “rich tradition” of doing so in the run-up to presidential campaigns.

In an open letter, media organizations, including ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox, PBS, NBC, NPR, and The Associated Press, urged the two candidates to commit to the idea.

“If there is one thing Americans can agree on during this polarized time, it is that the stakes of this election are exceptionally high,” the organizations said in a joint statement.

“Amidst that backdrop, there is simply no substitute for the candidates debating with each other, and before the American people, their visions for the future of our nation.”

However, as noted by CNBC, Biden is refusing to do so, possibly because his advisers are concerned about the ramifications of doing so:

Asked on March 8 whether he would commit to a debate with Trump, Biden said, “it depends on his behavior.” The president was visibly miffed by his opponent in the freewheeling first 2020 debate, at one point saying, “will you shut up.”

Harvard’s Disgraced Former President Claudine Gay to Teach ‘Reading and Research’ Ethics Class, Collecting $900,000 Salary

The disgraced former president of Harvard University, Claudine Gay, will return to teaching this fall, less than a year after her dramatic resignation.

Gay will reportedly teach a ‘Reading and Research’ ethics class as part of her commitments to the university which entitle her to a staggering $900,000 a year salary.

Back in January, Gay was forced to resign from her position after researchers found dozens of examples of plagiarism within her academic work. She was also the subject of significant criticism after refusing to condemn calls for the genocide of Jew from various Harvard students.

According to Harvard’s website, graduate-level Reading and Research courses do not provide letter grades, but require “written work of sufficient quantity and quality so that the course is equivalent to a lecture course or a seminar.”

The College Fix, which first reported the news, reached out to Harvard about the details surrounding Gay’s teaching schedule but did not receive a response.

In her resignation letter back in January, Gay denied accusations that she had committed plagiarism as part of her PhD thesis and accused her critics of racism.

“It has been distressing to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor— two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am — and frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus,” she wrote at the time.

Devout Christian Golfer Scottie Scheffler Triumphs at Masters, Says His Mission is to ‘Glorify God’

American golfer Scottie Scheffler triumphed at the 2024 Masters Tournament in Augusta on Sunday, but it is his comments about his faith that have also garnered attention in Christian circles.

Scheffler, the favorite going into the tournament and the number-one-ranked golfer in the world, won by an impressive four shots, defeating Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg, England’s Tommy Fleetwood (69) and fellow Americans and Collin Morikawa and Max Homa.

He continued:

I feel like I’ve been given a platform to compete and show my talent. It’s not anything that I did. I think I sat up here a couple years ago doing the interview after the 2022 Masters, and it’s like, ‘Yeah, I was underprepared for what was about to happen. I didn’t know what was going to happen.’ I was very anxious that morning. I didn’t know what to expect, and it’s hard to describe the feeling.

But I think that’s what defines me the most — is my faith. I believe in one Creator, that I’ve been called to come out here, do my best, compete, and glorify God, and that’s pretty much it.

Scheffler is also awaiting the birth of his first child with his wife Meredith and indicated that he would leave at a “moment’s notice” if necessary.

“As far as her going into labor, I wouldn’t say I’m very concerned,” he said. “We haven’t seen any of the early signs. But pregnancy is weird. It can happen at any time. Yeah, open lines of communication and she can get ahold of me if she needs to.”

Fortunately for Scheffler, his wife did not go into labor and he won his second Masters victory in three years, collecting a cool $3.6 million in the process.

‘I Love The Constitution’: Brazilian MMA Fighter Renato Moicano Gives Epic Pro-America Speech After Thrilling UFC 300 Victory (VIDEO)

UFC fighter Renato Moicano gave an epic pro-America speech after his thrilling victory against Jalin Turner on Saturday.

After completing his comeback against Turner, Moicano was handed the mic by podcaster and MMA commentator Joe Rogan and did not hold back:

I’m a huge advocate of the First Amendment, and of course, I want the $300k bonus, but they not going to give me because somebody says this is f**king Disney, you cannot curse…so I’m not going to do my speech, but first off all I love America, I love the constitution, I love the first amendment, I want to f*cking carry all the f***ing guns, I love private property, If you care about your f*cking country, read Ludwig von Mises and the six lessons of the Austrian economic school, motherf**ker.

The speech caught the attention of Canadian Professor Jordan Peterson, who described it as “unspeakably great.”

“What a world,” he wrote. “The satirists are Christian; the left shills for Big Pharma; and the deadly boxers have become profound economic philosophers.”

Sen. Rand Paul Slams House Speaker Mike Johnson, Accuses Him Of Governing Like a Democrat (VIDEO)

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul did not hold back in his criticisms of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, accusing him of governing the country like a Democrat since assuming the role last year.

Paul made the comments in an interview with Maria Bartiromo, taking particular aim at Johnson’s willingness to support the passage of a $1.5 trillion spending bill.

“As I see it now, I’m not so sure there’s a difference between Mike Johnson being in charge and Democrats being in charge,” Paul explained. “The deficit this year will be 1.5 to 2 trillion dollars, and that’s Mike Johnson’s bill. He put it forward, he supported it with a minority of Republicans, with a majority of Democrats. This is not the using the power of the purse, this is abdicating the power of the purse.”

Paul also slammed Johnson for his willingness to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) without a provision requiring warrants in order to spy on U.S. citizens.

.@SpeakerJohnson was incredibly wrong to vote w/ Dems against the 4th amend. when he killed the FISA warrant requirement and wrong to give in to the Dems spending demands. As I see it now, I’m not so sure there’s a difference between him being in charge and Dems being in charge. pic.twitter.com/NoyRhUrvRM

— Rand Paul (@RandPaul) April 14, 2024

He explained:

People have to be strong in their convictions. He was seen as a conservative before he came to the Speakership, but now he puts a tweet out the other day saying they whispered to him about 702, how important it is, and now he’s completely changed and lost all his principles on the idea that we shouldn’t spy on Americans without a warrant.

…

The Democrats got everything they want in the spending and all the hawks got what they want too, this is a problem on the Republican side. We have people who want unlimited military spending, and then the Democrats want unlimited welfare spending and they get both.

But Johnson hasn’t held his ground. He has the power, he has the majority, use the power of the purse, Speaker Johnson. Do something to make us think you are different than a Democrat — but so far I don’t see a difference.

Earlier this week, Paul also revealed that 15 federal agencies were made aware back in 2018 that Wuhan laboratory in China was trying to create a COVID-19 virus that eventually paved the way for global lockdowns, vaccine mandates and rapid expansion of government authority.

Italian Soccer Match Abandoned After 24-Year-Old Player Suddenly Collapses With Chest Pains (VIDEO)

A first-division Italian soccer match was abandoned on Sunday after a 24-year-old player suddenly collapsed with chest pains.

The match, a Serie A game between Roma and Udinese, was called off after defender Evan Ndicka fell to the ground in the 72nd minute and was taken off on a stretcher.

Following his collapse, Roma’s medical staff and emergency services came onto the field, and following discussions with the referee the, the match was abandoned.

In a statement on the X platform following his hospitalization, Roma confirmed he was undergoing tests in hospital.

“The team visited Ndicka in hospital,” the post read. “Evan feels better and is in good spirits. He will remain under observation for tests in hospital.”

REPORT: Biden Won’t Support an Israeli Counterattack Against Iran, Urging Netanyahu to ‘Take the Win’

Joe Biden will not support an Israeli counterattack against Iran after the Islamic regime escalated the conflict between the two countries.

On Saturday evening, Iran launched attack drones and missiles towards Israel in retaliation for an airstrike in Syria that killed a top Iranian general.

However, Axios reports that Biden said in a conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he will not support any retaliatory attacks from the Israeli Defense Forces:

Biden and his senior advisers are highly concerned an Israeli response to Iran’s attack on Israel would lead to a regional war with catastrophic consequences, U.S. officials said.

…

Biden told Netanyahu the joint defensive efforts by Israel, the U.S. and other countries in the region led to the failure of the Iranian attack, according to the White House official.

Biden also reportedly urged Netanyahu to “take the win” after Israel successfully intercepted nearly all the drones with the support of the U.S. military:

Biden told Netanyahu the joint defensive efforts by Israel, the U.S. and other countries in the region led to the failure of the Iranian attack, according to the White House official.

“You got a win. Take the win,” Biden told Netanyahu, according to the official. The official said that when Biden told Netanyahu that the U.S. will not participate in any offensive operations against Iran and will not support such operations, Netanyahu said he understood.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin spoke on Saturday with his Israeli counterpart Yoav Gallant and asked that Israel notify the U.S. ahead of any response against Iran, a senior Israeli official said.

In his official statement on Saturday evening, Biden confirmed that he had spoken with Netanyahu but did not provide any specific details:

“I’ve just spoken with Prime Minister Netanyahu to reaffirm America’s ironclad commitment to the security of Israel.  I told him that Israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks – sending a clear message to its foes that they cannot effectively threaten the security of Israel.”

“Tomorrow, I will convene my fellow G7 leaders to coordinate a united diplomatic response to Iran’s brazen attack,” he continued. “My team will engage with their counterparts across the region.  And we will stay in close touch with Israel’s leaders.  And while we have not seen attacks on our forces or facilities today, we will remain vigilant to all threats and will not hesitate to take all necessary action to protect our people.”

New York Times Admits Voters Looking Back ‘More Positively’ on Trump’s Presidency as Biden Fails at Everything

The far-left New York Times has admitted that growing numbers of voters are looking back “more positively” on Donald Trump’s presidency as the Biden administration continues to fail at everything it does.

In an article published Sunday, the Times conceded that voters have a “rosier picture” of Trump’s tenure when compared with Biden, particularly on issues such as immigration, the economy and law and order.

The paper reported:

Views of Donald J. Trump’s presidency have become more positive since he left office, bolstering his case for election and posing a risk to President Biden’s strategy of casting his opponent as unfit for the presidency, according to a new poll by The New York Times and Siena College.

While the memories of Mr. Trump’s tumultuous and chaotic administration have not significantly faded, many voters now have a rosier picture of his handling of the economy, immigration and maintaining law and order. Ahead of the 2020 election, only 39 percent of voters said that the country was better off after Mr. Trump took office. Now, looking back, nearly half say that he improved things during his time as president.

The poll’s findings underscore the way in which a segment of voters have changed their minds about the Trump era, recalling those years as a time of economic prosperity and strong national security.

It goes on to note that more voters ultimately believe that Trump’s leadership was “better for the country” than the current Biden regime.

Many voters still remember Mr. Trump as a divisive and polarizing figure, giving him low ratings on race relations and unifying the country. Yet, a larger share of voters see Mr. Trump’s term as better for the country than the current administration, with 42 percent rating the Trump presidency as mostly good for the country compared with 25 percent who say the same about Mr. Biden’s. Nearly half say the Biden years have been mostly bad for the country.

The piece does not make mention of Joe Biden’s catastrophic foreign policy failures. On Saturday evening, Iran launched a series of drone attacks towards Israel as tensions threatened to boil over across the Middle East.

While Joe Biden went to bed, Trump held a rally in Pennsylvania where he blamed Biden for the ongoing conflict. “I want to say God Bless the people of Israel, they are under attack right now, that’s because we show great weakness,” he exclaimed. This would not happen, the weakness that we’ve shown is unbelievable and it would not have happened if we were in office, you know that, they know that, and everybody knows that.”

Chasten Buttigieg: Republicans Want Suicidal LGBT People to ‘Pull The Trigger’ (VIDEO)

Chasten Buttigieg, the husband of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, said on MSNBC’s Deadline that Republicans would like LGBTQ people to “pull the trigger” and end their lives.

In an interview with host Nicole Wallace, Buttigieg described his own experience as a homosexual man:

It requires a lot of vulnerability. It’s really hard but for me, getting to grow up to be this person was a miracle. When I was 13, 14 years old and sitting in my parent’s basement, I would stare at my dad’s gun cabinet and I thought that was the only way out. I would never know love. I would never know family. I would never know community. I thought I was the only gay person in the world. I felt like the world was telling me to pull the trigger.

Buttigieg then went on to argue that Republicans would actively like to see vulnerable individuals commit suicide:

I very much feel this election is about one candidate who looks at that kid and says, ‘I’ve got your back,’ and another candidate who surrounds himself with people who are actively saying, ‘Pull the trigger.’ That’s what they believe. They do not support LGTBQ people. They do not support families like my own. They are not doing anything actively to make life better or safer for kids like my own, for families like my own and for many other people around this country.

However, Buttigieg has not always played the nice guy. Back in 2022, he mocked Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh when he was escorted out of a restaurant after being harassed by far left protesters.

“Sounds like he just wanted some privacy to make his own dining decisions,” Buttigieg wrote at the time, a reference to Kavanaugh’s vote in favor of overturning the federal right to an abortion.

In 2019, he also led children in a ‘Pledge of Allegiance’ to the LGBTQ pride flag in which children were instructed to say: “I pledge my heart to the rainbow of the not-so-typical gay camp, to the gay agenda for which it stands. One camp, full of pride, indivisible, with affirmation and equal rights for all.”

‘I’m Just Okay With That’: Bill Maher Admits Abortion is Murder and He Still Supports It (VIDEO)

Real Time host Bill Maher has admitted that abortion is murder but says that he is comfortable with this harsh reality.

During a discussion on his HBO talk show with former CNN host Piers Morgan, Maher responded to another panelist who described using abortion as an electoral issue as “strange.”

He responded:

Not if you believe it is murder. That’s why I don’t understand the 15-week thing. Trump’s plan is let’s leave it to the states. So you mean so killing babies is okay in some states? I can respect the absolutist position, I really can. I scold the left when they say, ‘Oh, you know what, they just hate women, people who aren’t pro-choice.’ They don’t hate women. They just made that up.

They think it’s murder. And it kind of is. And I’m just okay with that. I am. There are 8 billion people in the world. I’m sorry, we won’t miss you. That’s my position on that.

Bill Maher openly admits the Left’s real position on abortion:

— Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) April 13, 2024

Maher’s comments come after Donald Trump released a statement outlining his position on abortion if he gets back into the White House, amid growing concern that the issue is electorally damaging the Republican Party.

“This 50-year battle over Roe v Wade took it out of the federal hands and brought it into the hearts, minds, and vote of the people in each state was really something,” Trump explained.

“Now it’s up to the states to do the right thing,” he continued. “Like Ronald Reagan, I am strongly in favor of exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother. You must follow your heart of this issue, but remember, you must also win elections to restore our culture, and in fact, to save our country, which is currently, and very sadly, a nation in decline.”

Australia Prepares Its Own ‘National Guard’ to Enforce Lockdowns During Next Pandemic

Australia is considering plans to deploy a civilian-led “national guard” for the next time that the country imposes its draconian lockdowns.

According to The West Australian, the Australian Federal Police Association is calling for a “feasibility study” into the idea as part of its inquiry into the COVID-19 pandemic.

The paper reports:

Police forces nationwide were stretched to capacity during the pandemic, with officers forced to juggle normal frontline duties with emergency tasks including patrolling borders checkpoints, enforcing social distancing rules and managing quarantine.

In its submission to the inquiry, the AFPA said it was worth considering setting up a “national guard” to free up police officers to focus on their main job. The national guard in the US is essentially a civilian defence force which is regularly deployed into domestic emergencies, including natural disasters.

Meanwhile, AFPA president Alex Caruana argued that the police’s committment to enforcing the rules meant that regular policing “wasn’t getting the attention that it needed”.

>“In order to make sure that organised crime doesn’t capitalise on that, it is important that we are least consider it (a national guard) and look at the merits of having something set up,” he said. “Whether that be a national guard, or something similar, to fill that gap where it’s not policing and it’s not the military.”

Such a proposal will likely send a shiver down the spine of many Australians, millions of whom suffered immensely during the country’s draconian lockdown regime.

As part of their various measures “imposed” by federal and regional governments, healthy individuals were prevented from going outside for fresh air or even sitting on their balconies. Those entering the country were also forced to stay in specialized hotels where leaving their rooms would have exposed them to criminal investigation.

Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen Boasts Relations With Communist China Now on ‘More Stable Footing’

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen met with Chinese Premier Li Qiang, where she boasted about improving relations with the communist nation.

After discussing economic and trade issues over the course of her visit, Yellen argued that the broader U.S.-China relationship was on the up.

“While we have more to do, I believe that, over the past year, we have put our bilateral relationship on more stable footing,” Yellen remarked during a meeting in the Fujian room of the Great Hall of the People on the west side of Tiananmen Square.

“As the world’s two largest economies, we have a duty to our own countries and to the world to responsibly manage our complex relationship and to cooperate and show leadership on addressing pressing global challenges,” Yellen continued.

During the Trump administration, relations with China entered a period of decline as he sought to push back against the communist nation’s path towards global hegemony. However, the Biden regime is far more sympathetic to Beijing than its precedessor.

At a press conference on Saturday, Yellen also revealed she had discussed the subject of the Russian invasion of Ukraine with Chinese leaders.

“We think there’s more to do, but I do see it as an area where we’ve agreed to cooperate and we’ve already seen some meaningful progress,” she said. “They understand how serious an issue this is to us.”

Last year, Yellen was widely criticized after bowing to her Chinese counterpart, something which her opponents described as symbolic of her attitude to the Asian superpower.

Since taking office in 2021, Yellen has also faced criticism for her remarks about inflation, which she insisted would be “transitory.”

Last month, she said she regretted using that choice of words, given that inflation has become part a major issue affecting the majority of Americans.

“I regret saying it was transitory,” she said at the time. “It has come down, but I think transitory means a few weeks or months to most people, and that — it’s lasted longer than that.”

NATO Chief Reverses Course, Warns Ukraine May Have to Compromise With Russia

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has indicated that Ukraine may ultimately have to compromise with Russia in order to bring an end to the brutal conflict.

In an interview with the BBC, Stoltenberg said that Ukraine would have to decide what compromises they would be willing to make.

“At the end of the day, it has to be Ukraine that decides what kind of compromises they’re willing to do, we need to enable them to be in a position where they actually achieve an acceptable result around the negotiating table,” he said.

However, Stoltenberg also maintained that NATO would need to continue backing Ukraine into order to prevent future Russian aggression.

“Even if we believe and hope that the war will end in the near future, we need to support Ukraine for many years, to build their defences to deter future aggression,” he said.

Stoltenberg’s comments come days after Secretary of State Antony Blinken insisted that U.S. support for Ukraine remained “rock solid” and that he would support Ukraine joining NATO, despite the catastrophic risks of doing so.

“Ukraine will become a member of NATO,” Blinken told reporters in Brussels following a meeting with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. “Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership.”

“Based on what I heard today … everyone, including the United States, is going to double back and, as necessary, double down on finding the resources that Ukraine continues to need,” he continued.

In February, it was reported that Joe Biden rejected a proposal from Russian leader Vladimir Putin to negotiate a ceasefire and potentially bring peace to the region.

According to Reuters, Putin signaled through intermediaries that he was willing to end the conflict along its current lines, which hand permanent control of various territories over to Russia.

‘You Have To Be in The Room’: RNC Chair Pledges to Have ‘Thousands’ of Attorneys Watching When 2024 Ballots Are Counted

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Whatley has pledged to ensure that the 2024 presidential election is not tainted by the widespread voter fraud that occurred back in 2020.

In an interview with radio talk show host John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM’s “Cats Roundtable,” Whatley promised to have “thousands” of attorneys ready to respond when Democrats try their usual shenanigans.

“We want to make sure that every state has good rules of the road, right,” Whatley said. “So we’re working with the legislatures, we’re working with the boards of elections, the secretaries of states to make sure that the laws, the rules, the regulations that cover elections are where we need them to be.”

Whatley, who recently took over from the ousted Ronna Romney McDaniel, added that the RNC will make sure their lawyers and observers are physically “in the room”

“You have to be in the room,” Whatley said. “You got to have observers and attorneys in the room when the votes are being cast and when the votes are being counted. So we’re in the process of recruiting tens of thousands of volunteers, thousands of attorneys all across the country so that when we get into the election season, we’re going to be in the room.”

However, Whatley has previously argued in favor of Republicans learning to embrace early voting, despite the obvious risks associated with it.

“Look, in every state there are various different rules, but writ large people can vote by mail, they can vote early in person or they can vote on Election Day,” Whatley said in an interview with Fox News last month. “We want to make sure that people have a plan on how they are going to go out and vote.”

“Over 50 percent of American voters will vote before Election Day,” he continued. “We need to make sure that we are communicating with them, that we are talking to them before they go vote.”

Don Lemon, Who Described White Men as ‘America’s Biggest Terror Threat,’ Marries White Man in New York

Former CNN host Don Lemon is now a married man.

The 58-year-old, who recently launched his own eponymous show, tied the knot to his partner Tim Malone at a wedding in New York City on Saturday and made every effort to let the world know by splashing photos of the ceremony across social media.

Every single time. https://t.co/OqKTpR6frn pic.twitter.com/9ghIfFOkPR

— Chadwick Moore (@Chadwick_Moore) April 7, 2024

US Weekly reports:

The ceremony also incorporated marriage traditions from both Lemon and Malone’s cultures. Malone’s two sisters led the guests in a “big Irish blessing.” At the end of the ceremony, the newlyweds jumped over a broom, paying respect to the symbolic way enslaved people in the American South recognized their marriages.

The couple hired out the entire bottom floor of Ralph Lauren’s Polo Bar (where they had their first date) in Manhattan for the weekend, a source confirmed to Us ahead of the wedding. The source also shared that among the celebrity guests expected to attend include Clive Davis, Joy Behar, Matt Laur, Sex and the City creator Darren Star, Tamron Hall as well as Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, among others.

However, many netizens could not help but notice that Malone is a white man, which is ironic given that Lemon spent most of his career at CNN attacking white people. His most famous quote was back in 2018 when he warned that white men represented the “biggest terror threat” in modern America.

“So, we have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right. And we have to start doing something about them. There is no travel ban on them. There is no ban on  — they had the Muslim ban. There is no white guy ban. So, what do we do about that?”

The popular X account End Wokeness pointed out that Lemon is far from alone in shacking up with a white person after publicly deriding them.

TYT’s Cenk Uygur Admits Democrats Rig Elections For ‘Corrupt’ Joe Biden, Now ‘Considering’ Voting For RFK Jr. (VIDEO)

Cenk Uygur, the founder and lead host of The Young Turks, has said he is “considering” voting for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over Joe Biden.

Speaking with his fellow host Ana Kasparian, Uygur broke down how the Democratic Party rigs election in favor of Joe Biden and smears outside candidates who they deem as a threat to their worldview:

The headlines are wrong. He didn’t say Biden is a bigger threat, he said he could make an argument for that. And you’ve got to be careful with that. You know what the mainstream media loves to do, they love to smear anyone who’s an outsider.

Number two, he’s right to be concerned about Biden being a threat to democracy himself, maybe not for the reasons that he’s stating, but Biden did support anti-democratic movements within the primary. The Democratic Party cancelled the election in Florida; they tried to keep out every candidate in North Carolina, Tennessee, et cetera.

So they love to rig elections; yes, I used the word rigged, so you can go cry about it in mainstream media. How about you do you job and talk about how they cancelled an election in Florida and just declared Biden the winner. So if you’re going ot make the argument you are a champion of democracy, you should probably try it in your own primaries.

Uygur then dropped the real bomb:

For the first time today, I’m now considering RFK Jr… Is it because I think maybe he is right about vaccines? No, he is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs on vaccines and on several other things where he believes in conspiratorial theories that I don’t believe in at all. So why on God’s green earth am I considering RFK Jr?

Well until now I hadn’t beause of those crazy things where I don’t come anywhere near believing. But I thought about it Anna and Trump I would never support in a million years. Biden is now funding a genocide and is an awful choice and has been corrupt his whole life. You’re never going to get anything but corruption from Biden.

So am I positive RFK Jr. would be worse? On health and science definitely he would be worse, but on everything else like anti-establishment, money out of politics, I’m not positive RFK JR. would be worse than Biden.

Such comments add to the growing body of evidence that RFK Jr. could hurt Joe Biden more than Donald Trump. Just last week, Kennedy’s sister Rory described her brother’s presidential ambitions as “dangerous to our country” because they risked putting Trump in the Oval Office.

“My biggest concern with Bobby’s run is that he is going to take votes away from Biden, and I think this election is going to come down to a handful of votes in a handful of states,” she explained. “And I am concerned that voting for Bobby is going to take votes away from Biden and lead to a Trump election.”

Switzerland to Hold Referendum on ‘Devastating Consequences’ of Mass Immigration, Could Limit Population to 10 Million

Switzerland will hold a referendum on the issue of mass immigration that would limit the country’s population to 10 million until 2050.

The country, which is renowned for its system of direct democracy, allows its citizens to trigger referendums if they obtain 100,000 signatures within the space of 18 months.

As a result, the conservative Swiss People’s Party (SVP) this week submitted 114,600 signatures to the Federal Chancellery in the capital Bern, meaning a referendum will be held.

“Mass immigration continues its frantic course … with devastating consequences for our small country,” the party said in a statement. [Adopting this initiative] is urgent to protect our unique landscape, our high quality of life, our above-average prosperity, and for a secure, free future for us and our children.”

Although the exact question is unclear, the proposal will give the Swiss an opportunity to vote in favor of a proposal that “the permanent resident population of Switzerland must not exceed 10 million people before the year 2050.” Its current population is just short of nine million people.

Should the population exceed 9.5 million, the government must “take measures, in particular regarding asylum and family reunification, with a view to ensuring compliance.” If this fails, then the country would exit an agreement with the European Union, of which it is not a member, that allows free movement across the continent.

The party’s leader, Marcel Dettling, made the obvious case that controlled immigration is the way forward. “Today, too many foreigners are arriving, and not the right ones. We need controlled immigration that benefits our country and our population,” he said after submitting the signatures.

Switzerland is widely recognized as one of the most prosperous countries in the world, known for its strong economy, political stability, and high standard of living. The country also ranks highly in global rankings for overall happiness and well-being.

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace: CEOs and Business Owners Not Supporting Biden Are ‘Disgusting,’ Forcing Workers to Live in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace has argued that American CEOs and business owners refusing to publicly support Joe Biden are “disgusting” and are letting down the entire country.

The segment, which also featured Al Sharpton, began with Wallace playing a clip of Trump on Lindell TV in which he said that the economy is not as strong as the Biden regime would like people to believe.

“We have an economy that is incredible. We have an economy that is so fragile,” Trump explained. “The only reason its running now is it is running off the fumes of what we did.

I have never been so disappointed in sort of a major chunk of American civic life.”

Such comments are another example of Wallace ramping up her anti-Trump rhetoric. Last week, she threw a childish tantrum when Trump called out the conflict of interest created by Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter, who works as a consultant to the Democratic Party.

“Like, we’re not going to have this conversation again!” Wallace said, throwing her papers up in the air. “I have come on the air with breaking news about requests for gag orders because of threats for judges and their kids more times than I could count today before I got ready.”

‘That Motherf**ker is Hitler’: Unhinged Actress Jenifer Lewis Has On-Air Meltdown Over Donald Trump (VIDEO)

Actress Jenifer Lewis appeared to melt down when discussing President Donald Trump this week, comparing him to Adolf Hitler and describing those failing to vote against him as “f**king morons.”

Lewis, who has dubbed herself ‘The Mother of Black Hollywood‘ and is reported to suffer from bipolar disorder, made the remarks during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Mornings with Zerlina.

She exclaimed:

We spend half our lives choosing, trying to make a choice on bullshit. ‘What movie tonight? Let me sit here for a half hour.’ No bombs going off, and we do nothing. We sit on our couches. ‘Oh, I don’t believe in voting.’ You fucking idiot.

If that man gets in, as soon as he takes the oath, he will have generals walk down the steps of the Capitol. He will take a hammer and break the glass where the Constitution is, and he will tear it up in our faces and say, ‘Now I’m the king of the fucking world. You will bow down, bitches.’ He will punish everybody that didn’t vote for him.

Let me tell y’all how I know this shit! I know it because I know what mental illness looks like! That mania is unstoppable! See, this motherfucker is Hitler. He didn’t come to play.

‘We Never Get Earthquakes’: Unaware of Fault Lines, New Jersey Senate Candidate Blames Tremor on Climate Hoax

A New Jersey Senatorial candidate blamed yesterday’s earthquakes in New York and New Jersey on so-called climate change.

Christina Amira Khalil, who is running as a Green Party candidate, gave her account of the 4.8 magnitude earthquake on the X platform.

“I experienced my first earthquake in NJ. We never get earthquakes,” she wrote. “The climate crisis is real. The weirdest experience ever.”

I experienced my first earthquake in NJ. We never get earthquakes. The climate crisis is real.

The weirdest experience ever.

— Christina Amira Khalil (@Christina4NJ) April 5, 2024

Khalil’s post was swiftly handed a Community Note, which explained that New Jersey sits on a fault line and “has nothing to do with climate change.”

The note also references an article by New Jersey Monthly published back in 2010, which explains how the state is on a fault line dating back 200 million years:

Northern New Jersey straddles the Ramapo Fault, a significant ancient crack in the earth’s crust. The longest fault in the Northeast, it begins in Pennsylvania and moves into New Jersey, trending northeast through Hunterdon, Somerset, Morris, Passaic, and Bergen counties before terminating in New York’s Westchester County, not far from the Indian Point Energy Center, a nuclear power plant.

And though scientists dispute how active this roughly 200 million-year-old fault really is, many earthquakes in the state’s surprisingly varied seismic history are believed to have occurred on or near it. The fault line is visible at ground level and likely extends as deep as nine miles below the surface.

During the past 230 years or so, New Jersey has been at the epicenter of nearly 170 earthquakes, according to data compiled by the New Jersey Geological Survey, part of the United States Department of Environmental Protection.

Such displays of ignorance are typical of those pushing the climate hoax, many of whom are unaware of even the most basic scientific realities.

Just this week, Reuters news agency blamed climate change for the plight of transgender sex workers in Indonesia, many of whom are complaining that the country’s lengthy monsoon season is affecting their ability to attract clients.

“No one is coming out during the longer rainy season,” one of the prostitutes was quoted as saying. “It is very hard to make money during that unpredictable weather.”

BIDEN’S AMERICA: Illegal Alien Charged With Ohio Murder is a Career Criminal, Deported EIGHT Times

An illegal alien who has been deported from the U.S. on eight separate occasions has been charged with murder in Ohio.

Fox News reports that Fermin Garcia-Gutierrez, 46, is facing charges of premeditated murder, using weapons while intoxicated, carrying concealed weapons, possession of drugs, and obstructing official business.

He was arrested this week after a dead body was found on Monday in Hamilton, just north of Cincinnati after officers received a 911 call.

According to Sheriff Richard Jones of Ohio’s Butler County Sheriff’s Office, Garcia-Gutierrez has been active in the U.S. since 2001, when he was first arrested. Until now, he had been charged with 20 separate crimes and was a known gang member.

“That person would be alive today, and if you don’t think that it’s affecting you in Butler County, Ohio, we’re all border states; we’re all border counties,” said Jones. “It’s here, and we could go on and on.”

“Who knows how many people this guy has been involved in and has killed? Here in the United States, in our jail, he’s had two or three weapons charges, he’s had domestic violence [charges]… driving while intoxicated,” he continued. “We don’t know how many he’s killed in Mexico.”

Jones also accused the Biden administration of allowing a border invasion and warned that drug cartels are the organizations that are really running Mexico.

“Our border is broken, and these individuals are the cause of it,” Jones said, pointing to photographs of Biden, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

“He actually doesn’t run Mexico, it’s the drug cartel. We’ve got to stop this border invasion, it’s killing us and its killing innocent people.”

Such stories are typical in modern America, where illegal aliens have repeatedly gone on violent rampages.

Most recently, the deaths of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley and 25-year-old Ruby Garcia in Michigan have caused widespread public outrage as the Biden regime continues to encourage millions of unknown individuals to cross the border every year, many of whom have prior criminal records and or links to organized crime.

‘We’re Taking This Seriously’: Adam Schiff is Paranoid Trump Will Throw Him in Prison

Pencil neck California Congressman Adam Schiff has said he is taking “seriously” the prospect that Donald Trump will put him in prison when he returns to the White House next January.

Speaking to The Los Angeles Times, Schiff expressed his fear that Trump would send him to prison, despite the fact that he would have no power to do so.

“We’re taking this seriously because we have to,” Schiff said. “We’ve seen this movie before … and how perilous it is to ignore what someone is saying when they say they want to be a dictator.”

Such fears are a response to recent comments by Trump, who said that Schiff and other members of the corrupt January 6th committee should be prosecuted and imprisoned.

A notorious conspiracy theorist, Schiff also shared his belief that the Supreme Court is seeking to defend Trump over the politically motivated prosecution related to the former president’s actions in the wake of the fraudulent 2020 presidential election.

“I’m fearful that the Supreme Court is deliberately slow-walking this,” Schiff said, complaining that the court should not be looking at Trump’s claim that he has presidential immunity against prosecution.

“The claim is borderline frivolous … they’re drawing it out just enough to make it almost infeasible to try [the cases] before the election,” he continued. “It’s still possible to get it done. And I think voters deserve to have that information.“

Schiff, who who will almost certainly replace Kamala Harris as his state’s senator after winning the California primary, is not the only California Congressman expressing fears that Trump will drop the hammer of justice against those involved in his persecution.

“If he intends to eliminate our constitutional system and start arresting his political enemies, I guess I would be on that list,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, who represents San Jose. “One thing I did learn on the committee is to pay attention and listen to what Trump says, because he means it.”

Biden Regime Introduces Regulations to Block Trump’s Plan to Expunge The Deep State

The Biden regime is already putting in place plans to stop President Donald Trump from firing members of the deep state should he take back the White House this November.

The Office of Personnel Management, the principal agency overseeing federal government employees, has introduced guidelines preventing career civil servants from being reassigned as political appointees who can be terminated more swiftly from their positions.

This move is a response to Trump’s ‘Schedule F’ directive in 2020, which sought to reclassify the role of tens of thousands of federal employees, essentially making it easier to fire them.

In a White House statement on Thursday, Biden said he was introducing “the final rule to protect nonpartisan civil servants” that would “protections for 2.2 million career civil servants from political interference, to guarantee that they can carry out their responsibilities in the best interest of the American people.”

He continued:

Day in and day out, career civil servants provide the expertise and continuity necessary for our democracy to function. They provide Americans with life-saving and life-changing services and put opportunity within reach for millions. That’s why since taking office, I have worked to strengthen, empower, and rebuild our career workforce.

[This is] a step toward combatting corruption and partisan interference to ensure civil servants are able to focus on the most important task at hand: delivering for the American people.

House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman, Republican James Comer, argued the ruling would allow federal employees to be unaccountable:

OPM’s final rule is yet another example of the Biden Administration’s efforts to insulate the federal workforce from accountability. The federal workforce exists to serve the American people, yet many Americans have a deep and growing distrust of the federal bureaucracy.

The Biden Administration’s rule will further undermine Americans’ confidence in their government since it allows poor performing federal workers and those who attempt to thwart the policies of a duly elected President to remain entrenched in the federal bureaucracy. We need more accountability for the unelected federal bureaucracy, not less.

Such a plan is ultimately designed to prevent Trump from firing the sort of deep state actors that successfully undermined his first term in office.

If Trump returns to the White House and wants to overturn the regulations, he would need to draft new rules through the Office of Personnel Management. This lengthy process would entail soliciting public feedback on any proposed alterations and also open him open to legal challenges. 

Trump has repeatedly stated that he will seek to unravel the influence of the deep state over the course of his second term. “We will pass critical reforms making every executive branch employee fireable by the president of the United States,” Trump said back in 2022. “The deep state must and will be brought to heel.”

Scots Flood First Minister Humza Yousaf’s ‘Hate Crime’ Tip Line With Reports of His Anti-White Speech

Scotland’s fascist “hate crime” went into effect earlier this week as the country’s First Minister, Humza Yousaf, seeks to crack down on free speech and opposition to his leftist agenda.

However, Yousaf’s big idea did not appear to go to plan after Scots flooded the tip line with reports about a speech he gave back in 2020 when he chastised white people.

The BBC reports:

Police Scotland has received more than 3,000 hate crime reports since a new law was introduced on Monday, the BBC understands.

It creates a new crime of “stirring up hatred” over protected characteristics. A large number were about a 2020 speech by First Minister Humza Yousaf – then justice secretary – highlighting white people in prominent public roles.

Community Safety Minister Siobhian Brown said people were making “fake and vexatious complaints”. Police Scotland said complaints about Mr Yousaf’s speech were assessed at the time, with no crime committed and no action taken. The new law will not apply retrospectively

Following the death of George Floyd back in 2020, Yousaf gave a speech in which he complained about the number of white people in positions of power:

Why are we so surprised when the most senior positions in Scotland are filled almost exclusively by people who are white? Take my portfolio, for example.

The Lord President is white, the Lord Justice Clerk is white, every High Court judge is white, the Lord Advocate is white, the Solicitor General is white, the chief constable is white, every deputy chief constable is white, every assistant chief constable is white, the head of the Law Society is white, the head of the Faculty of Advocates is white and every prison governor is white.

That is not the case only in justice. The chief medical officer is white, the chief nursing officer is white, the chief veterinary officer is white, the chief social work adviser is white and almost every trade union in the country is headed by white people. In the Scottish Government, every director general is white. Every chair of every public body is white. That is not good enough.

Among those to criticize the legislation has been Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who argued that it would be used to protect trans activists from criticism.

“Scotland’s Hate Crime Act comes into effect today,” she wrote. “Women gain no additional protections, of course, but well-known trans activist Beth Douglas, darling of prominent Scottish politicians, falls within a protected category. Phew!”

However, Dershowitz claimed that there is compelling evidence indicating that Willis was engaged in financial corruption.

OUCH: White House Cancels Annual Ramadan Dinner After Muslims Refuse to Attend

The White House was forced to cancel its annual Ramadan celebration after Muslims refused to attend an event with Joe Biden.

CBS News reports that while the White House held a successful Iftar dinner last year with hundreds of Muslims, this year’s celebrations involved just a handful administration officials:

Last year, President Biden hadn’t even spoken a word at the White House celebration of Ramadan before someone shouted out “we love you.” Hundreds of Muslims were there to mark the end of the holy month that requires fasting from sunrise to sunset.

There are no such joyous scenes during this Ramadan. With many Muslim Americans outraged over Mr. Biden’s support for Israel’s siege of Gaza, the White House chose to hold a smaller iftar dinner on Tuesday evening. The only dinner attendees were people who work for his administration.

…

Alzayat attended last year’s event, but he declined an invitation to break his fast with Mr. Biden this year, saying, “It’s inappropriate to do such a celebration while there’s a famine going on in Gaza.”

After rejections from Alzayat and others, he said the White House adjusted its plans Monday, telling community leaders it wanted to host a meeting focused on administration policy. Alzayat still said no, believing that one day wasn’t enough time to prepare for an opportunity to sway Mr. Biden’s mind on the conflict.

The boycott reflects the growing anger among America’s Muslims communities about Biden’s lukewarm for Israel’s war against Hamas.

America’s Muslims tend to vote Democrat, although many of them consider Israel-Palestine as their most important issue. This was particularly reflected in this year’s Michigan Democratic Primary, where around 15 percent voted against the current president.

Meanwhile, the White House insists that Biden is working hard to “secure an immediate ceasefire” in Gaza, even though there is currently no sign of one.

“[Joe Biden and Kamala Harris] know this is a deeply painful moment for many in the Muslim and Arab communities,” the statement said.

“President Biden made clear that he mourns the loss of every innocent life in this conflict. The president also expressed his commitment to continue working to secure an immediate ceasefire as part of a deal to free the hostages and significantly increase humanitarian aid into Gaza.”

Canadian Man in Legal Battle to Get Free Vaginoplasty… While Keeping Penis Intact!

A court in Canada is set to rule on a case as to whether the state must pay for a vaginoplasty on a man who also wants to keep his penis intact.

According to the National Post, the legal battle “could lead to more requests for individually customized and unorthodox gender-affirming surgeries” while reflecting a “small but growing demand for niche surgeries for people who identify as non-binary, meaning neither exclusively female nor exclusively male.”

The individual, who is known only as K.S., is a biological male who claims to have experienced gender dysphoria since he was a teen. However, his doctor contends that he feels neither male nor female and would therefore like to have both a penis and a vagina.

“It is very important for (K.S.)  to have a vagina for her personal interpretation of her gender expression but she also wishes to maintain her penis,” his doctor wrote in a letter to Ontario’s Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) supporting his request for state funding.

“(K.S.) is transfeminine but not completely on the ‘feminine” end of the spectrum (and) for this reason it’s important for her to have a vagina while maintaining a penis.”

K.S. has also argued that undergoing a “binary surgery” would only exacerbate her gender dysphoria and “would be akin to an act of conversion therapy.” He also wishes to retain his genitalia for sexual health and fears about potential urinary incontinence issues that often from the proposed “urological rerouting.”

The case was previously upheld Ontario’s Health Services Appeal and Review Board. However, OHIP appealed the decision to Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice and a decision is expected soon.

Many sex change operations are carried out on the grounds that those suffering from gender dysphoria are at risk of self-harm or even suicide if they are refused surgery. However, a study back in 2021 published by the American Urological Associatio  found that men who had transgender surgery were more likely to commit suicide after the operation than before.

POOP EPIDEMIC: San Francisco Feces Complaints Skyrocket Despite Spending Millions on Public Bathrooms

The issue of feces covering San Francisco’s streets is worsening despite the city spending millions of dollars on public bathrooms.

According to a report from The San Francisco Chronicle, complaints of poop in the city’s streets are on the rise, a trend it complains is creating “fodder” for the city’s conservative critics:

During the pandemic, feces-related calls fell as people stayed home, and the city moved unhoused people indoors. But a Chronicle data analysis found that the number of feces-related calls has crept up past pre-pandemic levels. The calls are about 17% higher than in 2020 and about 7% higher than in 2019. The data, pulled from 311 reports, doesn’t differentiate between human and animal feces, and only reflects reports of feces or requests for street cleaning of feces.

The increase comes despite San Francisco investing in public toilets, doing more frequent street cleanings and getting more homeless people off the street.The vast majority of San Francisco’s more than 280 public restrooms are in parks, community centers, libraries, fire stations and other city buildings. There are also stand-alone staffed toilets run by two different city departments and stand-alone unstaffed toilets run by a private company in partnership with the city.

THE IRONY! Democrats Throw Hissy Fit About Nebraska ‘Changing the Rules’ Months Before Election

Democrats are furious about the prospect of Nebraska changing its electoral system by switching to a winner-takes-all electoral system.

Nebraska, along with Maine, is one of two states that currently employs a unique method known as the Congressional District Method. Under this system, the state’s electoral votes are partially allocated based on the popular vote winner in each of its three congressional districts, with the remaining two electoral votes going to the statewide popular vote winner.

Yet following a campaign by TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen endorsed a proposal to change the system to a traditional winner-takes-all, bringing it in line with the rest of the country and almost certainly handing an extra electoral college vote to Donald Trump.

“It would bring Nebraska into line with 48 of our fellow states, better reflect the founders’ intent, and ensure our state speaks with one unified voice in presidential elections,” Pillen said of the bill. “I call upon fellow Republicans in the Legislature to pass this bill to my desk so I can sign it into law.”

Given the fact that Nebraska now has a veto proof Republican majority, it appears likely that the legislation will be passed into law.

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) April 3, 2024

Democrats, meanwhile, are predictably furious about the proposal, fearing that the 2024 election could come down to a single electoral college vote.

Among those complaining are the Nebraska Democratic Party, Democratic State Senator Megan Hunt and President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina.

This just shows that Donald Trump has serious concerns that this election is going to come down to one electoral vote, and he’s willing to cheat and change the rules state-to-state to ensure his victory.

The great irony, of course, is that the Democrats changed the rules during the 2020 presidential election as part of their plan to steal the election from Donald Trump. This included wildy expanding the ease and avaliability of mail-in voting, which was the key factor allowing the Biden campaign to carry out their successful election steal.

Even Elon Musk’s Tesla is Feeling the Pain as Consumers Reject Overpriced EVs

Even Elon Musk’s coveted car brand Tesla is feeling the pain as America turns its back on electric vehicles and the high costs associated with them.

In the first three months of 2023, the company sold just under 387,000 electric cars to customers, the lowest quarterly figure in almost a year. This also represented an eight percent fall year-on-year and below analysis expectations.

Meanwhile, Tesla’s shares fell more than four percent on the news, marking a 30 percent fall since the beginning of the year.

“While we were anticipating a bad 1Q, this was an unmitigated disaster 1Q that is hard to explain away,” Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said in a note shortly after the report’s release.

“We view this as a seminal moment in the Tesla story for Musk to either turn this around and reverse the black eye 1Q performance. Otherwise, some darker days could clearly be ahead that could disrupt the long-term Tesla narrative.”

Part of Tesla’s problem is they are facing increased competition from communist China, who have successfully produced cheaper alternatives to the American car brand.

Another factor is that liberals and leftists are increasingly boycotting the brand in response to Musk’s embrace of the conservative movement, particularly through his acquisition of Twitter, now known as X.

However, overall demand for electric vehicles is also in decline as people wake up to the reality that they are not providing either the economic or environmental benefits that their advocates have promised.

Back in February, The New York Times reported that the Biden regime was giving up on many of its EV production targets as part of a “concession” to automakers and labor unions.

“Instead of essentially requiring automakers to rapidly ramp up sales of electric vehicles over the next few years, the administration would give car manufacturers more time, with a sharp increase in sales not required until after 2030,” the paper noted at the time. “The change comes as President Biden faces intense crosswinds as he runs for re-election while trying to confront climate change.”

Disgraced Rapper Lizzo Backtracks on Pledge to ‘Quit’ Music Industry, Claims She Was Just Dispelling ‘Negative Energy’

Disgraced and morbidly obese rapper Lizzo has backtracked on her pledge to quit the music industry, insisting she was just seeking to dispel negative energy.

The Grammy Award winner, who currently has a major sexual harassment lawsuit proceeding against her, last week appeared to announce her retirement, declaring that she had grown sick of “being dragged by everyone”:

I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet. All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it.

But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it. I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout & views… being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look.

My character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name.

I didn’t sign up for this s**t. I quit.

However, she has now attempted to backtrack on those comments.

“When I say ‘I quit’, I mean I quit giving any negative energy attention,” she explained in a video on Wednesday. “What I’m not gonna quit is the joy of my life, which is making music, which is connecting to people, because I know I’m not alone. In no way shape or form am I the only person who is experiencing that negative voice that seems to be louder than the positive.”

University of Texas Forced to Lay Off 60 DEI Employees as State Law Takes Effect

The University of Texas at Austin has been forced to lay off 60 employees focused on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) following the passage of Senate Bill 17 earlier this year.

The Austin American-Statesman reports that after State Sen. Brandon Creighton warned Texas universities about the state’s expectations for higher education institutions to comply with the new law, the University of Texas has made a brutal series of layoffs:

UT has not confirmed to the American-Statesman the number of staff positions that have been eliminated or how many employees will be laid off, but on Tuesday afternoon, a person with knowledge of the terminations said at least 60 people have lost their jobs, 40 of them in the Division of Campus and Community Engagement alone. The layoffs are effective in 90 days or more, people familiar with the terminations told the Statesman. UT did not respond to a Statesman request for comment.

UT is also closing the Division of Campus and Community Engagement, previously known as the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement. President Jay Hartzell said in an email to the UT community on Tuesday afternoon, which was obtained by the Statesman, that though the school made changes before Jan. 1 to comply with SB 17, “we knew that more work would be required to utilize our talent and resources most effectively in support of our teaching and research missions, and ultimately, our students.”

In his email, Hartzell said that the university would be using its additional resources to improve its teaching and research.

“The new law has changed the scope of some programs on campus, making them broader and creating duplication with long-standing existing programs supporting students, faculty, and staff,” Hartzell said.

“Following those reviews, we have concluded that additional measures are necessary to reduce overlaps, streamline student-facing portfolios, and optimize and redirect resources into our fundamental activities of teaching and research,” he continued.

This simply devastating news comes as conservatives and Republican-controlled around the country attempt to crack down on DEI initiatives, which are effectively designed to promote minorities to positions of power and influence at the expense of white people.

At a summit on Monday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said he was still concerned at the attempted indoctrination of young people across the state’s schools and universities.

“We are concerned about the ideology that is being hammered into our kids when they go to our schools and our colleges,” Abbott said.

“Our kids are not learning the core elements that will ensure they (will) be better qualified to compete against their peers across the country or across the globe,” he continued. “Instead, they’re being indoctrinated with ideologies from far-left, socialistic-based professors at our universities.”

EPIC: Trump Mocks Dementia Joe Over ‘Trans Visibility Day,’ Declares Election Day Will Be ‘Christian Visibility Day’

President Donald Trump brutally mocked Joe Biden over his decision to issue a proclamation declaring Easter Sunday as ‘Trans Visibility Day.’

“Election Day, November 5th, will be the most important day in the History of our Country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It will also be Christian Visibility Day, the biggest turnout of Christians in the history of our Country!”

Trump’s comments come after Biden issued a proclamation about Trans Visibility Day coinciding with Easter Sunday, a move Trump’s campaign denounced as “blasphemous.”

Biden’s declaration stated:

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.

I am proud that my Administration has stood for justice from the start, working to ensure that the LGBTQI+ community can live openly, in safety, with dignity and respect. I am proud to have appointed transgender leaders to my Administration and to have ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in our military. I am proud to have signed historic Executive Orders that strengthen civil rights protections in housing, employment, health care, education, the justice system, and more. I am proud to have signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law, ensuring that every American can marry the person they love.

Trump’s campaign responded:

It is appalling and insulting that Joe Biden’s White House prohibited children from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter Art Event, and formally proclaimed Easter Sunday as ‘Trans Day of Visibility.’ Sadly, these are just two more examples of the Biden Administration’s years-long assault on the Christian faith. We call on Joe Biden’s failing campaign and White House to issue an apology to the millions of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is for one celebration only — the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Biden’s apologists have since pointed out that Transgender Visibility Day falls on March 31st every year and this year it happened to coincide with Easter.

Yet given that transgenders already have multiple other days desginated in their honor, such as ‘Trans Day of Remembrance,’ as well as an entire month for ‘Pride’ related activities, the anti-Christian message was received loud and clear. While Biden professes to be a “devout Catholic,” the reality is he is anything but.

‘Euphoria’ Star Hunter Schafer Refuses to Take ‘Demeaning’ Trans Roles, Demands to Play Real Women Instead

Euphoria star Hunter Schafer has declared that he no longer wants to take transgender roles and expects to be cast as a biological woman moving forward.

Schafer said in an interview with GQ magazine that he found being offered such roles a “privilege” but at the same time very “demeaning” to his transgender identity:

I worked so hard to get to where I am, past these really hard points in my transition, and now I just want to be a girl and finally move on. It’s a privilege, but it’s been very intentional. I’ve been offered tons of trans roles, and I just don’t want to do it. I don’t want to talk about it.

I know for a fact that I’m one of the most famous trans people in media right now, and I do feel a sense of responsibility and maybe a little bit of guilt for not being more of a spokesperson.

But ultimately, I really do believe that not making it the centrepiece to what I’m doing will allow me to get further. And I think getting further and doing awesome shit, in the interest of ‘the movement,’ will be way more helpful than talking about it all the time.

The 25-year-old, who also starred in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, has become one of the most recognizable transgender actors and activists in modern America.

Last November, late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon was slammed by trans activists after referring to Schafer as “bud.”

“For Halloween, I was obsessed with how the capitol people were in costume and made my own costume,” Schafer said, before showing Fallon a picture.

“Congratulations, bud,” Fallon responded. “This is really cool, now you’re in Hunger Games — as a capitol person!”

POLL: Voters Unconvinced Biden Will Even Survive Second Term, Resulting in President Kamala Harris

Americans are split on whether Joe Biden will make it through a second presidential term or even be alive at the end of it, according to new polling data.

A poll from Mail Online found that just 38 per cent of likely voters are confident that Biden would still be alive at the end of a second term, while 33 per cent are not confident he will make it.

If Biden wins in November, he will have the right to hold the Oval Office until January 2029. On that date, he will be 86 years old and his dementia will have likely advanced to a point where he is incapacitated.

Meanwhile, 36 per cent of likely voters think Kamala Harris will be in charge by the end of Biden’s second term. The same number believe Biden will still be at the helm.

Voters are far less concerned about Trump’s fitness for office, with 54 per cent indicating they believe he would survive the entire term, compared with 21 per cent who believe he would not.

Pollster James Johnson, cofounder of J.L. Partners, told the Mail:

Voters think Biden is too old, and they are not changing their mind.The difficulty for Biden is that views of him are not shaped through events such as his State of the Union address—which people who had seen it felt was fiery—but through consumption of the hundreds of viral social media clips of Biden stumbling and slurring.

That solid perception that he is too old feeds through to a sense he is too weak, and it is a major problem for him going into November. Frankly, they do not think he is up to the job—and that makes his re-election a much harder task.

Should Biden die or become incapable of carrying out his duties, Kamala Harris would assume the presidency for the remainder of his term.

Per the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution, Harris would also be eligible to run for two full terms in her own right if she took office with less than two years of Biden’s presidency to run.

Given her widespread unpopularity, such a scenario seems unlikely. Yet with the help of widespread Democratic election fraud, she could hypothetically run the country until January 2037.
