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

By: Ben Kew

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

By: Ben Kew

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:

“When I stepped up in the… pic.twitter.com/sKbsW2ojIu

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

By: Ben Kew

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

By: Ben Kew

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

By: Ben Kew

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

By: Ben Kew

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.”

Trump campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita said in a letter this past week that “we have already indicated President Trump is willing to debate anytime, any place and anywhere — and the time to start these debates is now.” They cited the seven 1858 Illinois Senate debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, saying “certainly today’s America deserves as much.”
During his rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday evening following Iranian attacks on Israel, Trump held up a placard that read: “Anytime. Anywhere. Anyplace.”
“We have a little, look at this, it’s for him,” he said. “See the podium? I’m calling on Crooked Joe Biden to debate anytime, anywhere, any place. Right there. And we have to debate because our country is going in the wrong direction so badly and while it’s a little bit typically early we have to debate. We have to explain to the American people what the hell is going on.”

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

By: Ben Kew

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’

By: Ben Kew
Scottie Scheffler

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.

When asked earlier in the week as to whether golf defines him, Schleffer said it did not. “I’m a faithful guy,” he responded. “I believe in a Creator. I believe in Jesus. Ultimately, I think that’s what defines me the most.”

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)

By: Ben Kew

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)

By: Ben Kew

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.

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

By: Ben Kew

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

By: Ben Kew

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)

By: Ben Kew

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)

By: Ben Kew

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:

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

By: Ben Kew

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.
In its submission to authorities, the AFPA explained that “National guard personnel could be given special powers during a declared incident, such as biosecurity checking, the authority to request personal details, or the power to stop and detain for suspected breaches of pandemic or natural disaster restrictions.”

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’

By: Ben Kew

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

By: Ben Kew

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

By: Ben Kew
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Whatley

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

By: Ben Kew

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 DavisJoy BeharMatt LaurSex and the City creator Darren StarTamron 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)

By: Ben Kew

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.”

Elon Musk Warns Biden Regime’s Obsession With Ukraine Joining NATO Risks ‘Nuclear Apocalypse’

By: Ben Kew

Elon Musk has warned that the Biden regime’s commitment to making Ukraine a member of NATO risks bringing the world toward a “nuclear apocalypse.”

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday that Ukraine be granted NATO membership and that Washington’s support for the country remains “rock solid.”

“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.

More than 30 countries now have signed or are in the process of negotiating signing bilateral agreements with Ukraine, and we’re ourselves, the United States, working on our own bilateral agreement.”

Responding to a tweet about Blinken’s comments, Musk replied: “This is literally how the nuclear apocalypse movie starts.”

His tweet contained a link to the 1983 film ‘The Day After’, which depicts a nuclear conflict between America and the Soviety Union.

Musk has long spoken about the risks of continually escalating tensions with Russia amid their ongoing war in Ukraine. Last October, he warned that America is “sleepwalking” its way into World War III as it ratchets up its involvement in Ukraine and the Middle East.

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

By: Ben Kew

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’

By: Ben Kew

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. It is just running off the fumes. And when there is a crash, I hope it is going to be during this next 12 months because I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover.”

“You already are and the only people running on fumes are the insurrectionists,” Wallace responded. I think if you have a successful company and you have American workers, you shouldn’t want them to live out The Handmaid’s Tale.”

“If you are an employer in America, you should be invested enough America to not want the guy that is running as an autocrat,” she followed up. “I think its disgusting that CEOs are going to ride it out and see how this thing shakes out. 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.”

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

By: Ben Kew

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

By: Ben Kew

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.

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

By: Ben Kew

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

By: Ben Kew

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

By: Ben Kew

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!”

Speaking to Sky News earlier this week, First Minister Yousef said that “strong action” was required to crack down on “acts of hatred.”

“In terms of acts of hatred, I think anybody would recognize in the last few years… hatred has been far too pervasive in our society,” he said. “We have to take strong action against it. We have to have a zero-tolerance approach to it.

Alan Dershowitz: Fani Willis Committed ‘Worst Crimes I’ve Seen Prosecutors Commit,’ Should Be Charged With Perjury, Witness Tampering

By: Ben Kew

Retired Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz has argued that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should face prosecution for some of the “worst crimes” he has seen in public prosecutions.

“She ought to be on trial for perjury, conspiracy to commit perjury, witness tampering,” Dershowitz said in an interview with Newsmax. “The evidence is overwhelming that she committed perjury, including technical scientific evidence and several witnesses.”

Alan Dershowitz on why Fani Willis ought to be the one facing criminal charges and NOT Donald Trump. pic.twitter.com/fDRa4yZ1W5

— USA Features Media (@UsaFeatures) April 3, 2024

Last month, Georgia Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Willis could remain on the case on the condition that Nathan Wade, the lead prosecutor whom she appointed and was involved in an affair with, stepped down. Wade promptly resigned following the ruling.

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

“Essentially, she got kickbacks for appointing this highly unqualified person to head the prosecution,” said Dershowitz. “I sure hope the appellate court takes the case and throws her out of the case and recommends that there be a criminal investigation … we have to have an independent prosecutor of some kind looking into what is an open and shut case of perjury.”
The esteemed legal professor also weighed in on Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan, who recently imposed a gag order on President Trump to prevent him talking about his daughter Loren, who works as a consultant for the Democratic Party.

“He is a judge ruling to protect his own daughter,” said Dershowitz. “Talk about a conflict of interest. The law is very clear if the judge, for example, is sitting on a case where his daughter could benefit financially, of course, the judge would have to disclose that and recuse himself. And of course, the defendant would have the right to point that out.”

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

By: Ben Kew

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!

By: Ben Kew

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

By: Ben Kew

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.

Last November, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis highlighted the severity of the problem by holding up a “poop map” during his debate with California Governor Gavin Newsom.

“This is a map of San Francisco,” DeSantis said at the time, holding up a map of the city with brown markings across it. “There’s a lot of plots on that. You may be asking: ‘What is that plotting?’ Well, this is an app where they plot the human faeces that are found on the streets of San Francisco.

“And you see how almost the whole thing is covered? Because this is what has happened in one of the previous greatest cities this country has ever had.”

Ron DeSantis just held up a poop map of San Francisco to show where people are tagging feces from homeless people on all the public streets. Holy shit. Literally. pic.twitter.com/atGEMZ8o6w

Poop is far from the only problem facing San Francisco, which is widely regarded as the most progressive city in the United States. Homelessness remains a major issue, with many of those on the streets suffering from crippling addictions to fentanyl and other hard drugs.

Levels of shoplifting have also skyrocketed, leading to many businesses pulling out of the city after incurring unsustainable losses as the city refuses to prosecute and imprison repeat offenders.

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

By: Ben Kew

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.

BREAKING: Nebraska’s unicameral legislature now has a filibuster proof Republican majority as Sen. Mike McDonnell switches parties from Dem to Rep.

This has massive implications for passing LB764, which would switch Nebraska to a winner-take-all electoral college state and… https://t.co/f1spATMdso

— 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.

It’s pathetic and if he wants to win Omaha’s vote, he should come earn it. https://t.co/bLaPcmdIxr

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

By: Ben Kew

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’

By: Ben Kew

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

By: Ben Kew

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’

By: Ben Kew

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

By: Ben Kew

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.”

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.

RFK Jr.’s Sister Fears His ‘Dangerous’ Campaign Will Take Votes From Biden, Return Trump to White House

By: Ben Kew

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s sister has expressed her fear that her brother’s campaign will ultimately put Donald Trump in the White House.

Rory Kennedy, 55, said in an interview on ABC that her brother’s presidential ambitions were “dangerous to our country” because they risked undermining Joe Biden’s campaign.

“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 told host George Stephanopoulos.

“And I am concerned that voting for Bobby is going to take votes away from Biden and lead to a Trump election,” she continued. “And I’m very concerned what that will do to our country and to the world over the ensuing four years.”

The Kennedy family has repeatedly denounced their brother over his anti-establishment views and recently excluded him from a family photo at the White House.

“It’s not enough to wish the world were better, you must make the world better” @POTUS President Biden, you make the world better. Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘@vradenburg3 @Mkennedycuomo @vickikennedy2277 @amykennedy715 @pjk4brainhealt @roryekennedy @maxeykennedy pic.twitter.com/UZBcUjtEDh

“Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment,” RFK’s siblings wrote on the X platform when their brother announced he would be running as an independent. “Today’s announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country.”

Last week, RFK JR. announced Nicole Shanahan as his running mate during an event in Oakland, California, sparking concern among the Biden strategists that he could take votes from the left.

A once staunch Democrat and the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Shanahan is known for her progressive views. She has previously donated and held fundraisers for a range of Democratic candidates, including current Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and self-help guru Marianne Williamson.

“I wanted a partner who is a gifted administrator but also possesses the gift of curiosity, an open, inquiring mind, and the confidence to change even her strongest opinions in the face of contrary evidence,” Kennedy declared on the announcement.

Scotland Imposes Fascist ‘Hate Crime’ Law, Those Found Guilty Face Seven Years in Prison

By: Ben Kew

Scotland’s fascist “hate crime” law has gone into effect today, meaning the government will be able to freely prosecute individuals they deem to be running afoul of the rules.

The bill, approved by the country’s Muslim and openly anti-white First Minister Humza Yousef, represents one of the broadest and most shameless crackdowns on free speech in the Western world:

Sky News reports:

The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act came into force on Monday 1 April and aims to provide greater protection for victims and communities. It consolidates existing legislation and introduces new offences for threatening or abusive behaviour which is intended to stir up hatred based on prejudice towards characteristics such as age, disability, religion, sexual orientation and transgender identity.

The new provisions add to the laws on the statute book for race, which have been in place UK-wide since 1986. Sex has been omitted from the act as a standalone bill designed to tackle misogyny is expected to be laid before the Scottish parliament at a later date.

Among those criticizing the law is 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!”

Elon Musk has also weighed in on the issue, describing it as an “example of why it is so important to preserve freedom of speech.”

The legislation was proposed and supported by the Scottish National Party (SNP), a far-left outfit that supports independence from the United Kingdom. Those found guilty of violating the laws face a maximum penalty of seven years behind bars.

Speaking to Sky News, First Minister Yousef said that “strong action” was required to crack down on “acts of hatred.”

“In terms of acts of hatred, I think anybody would recognize in the last few years… hatred has been far too pervasive in our society,” he said. “We have to take strong action against it. We have to have a zero-tolerance approach to it.

NBC Runs Pathetic Hit Piece on Free State of Florida, Claims People Fleeing The ‘Culture War’

By: Ben Kew

NBC has run a truly pathetic hit piece on the state of Florida, declaring that people are leaving the state because of “soaring costs and the culture war.”

Florida has become hot property over recent years, providing newcomers with all round sunshine and an escape from Democratic insanity of states such as New York and California.

This is largely due to its Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who led the way against the COVID tyranny and ensured that Florida remained free while other parts of the country were under indefinite house arrest.

In its article, NBC notes that although hundreds of thousands of people moved to Florida, many also left the state and moved elsewhere:

While hundreds of thousands of new residents have flocked to the state on the promise of beautiful weather, no income tax and lower costs, nearly 500,000 left in 2022, according to the most recent census data. Contributing to their move was a perfect storm of soaring insurance costs, a hostile political environment, worsening traffic and extreme weather, according to interviews with more than a dozen recent transplants and longtime residents who left the state in the past two years.

The article goes on to cite the trials and tribulations of various Florida residents, including one woman who had her house egged after putting out a Hillary Clinton sign:

Costs and politics were also enough to cause Noelle Schmitz to leave the state after more than 30 years, despite her son having a year left in high school, and relocate to Winchester, Virginia. She said the politics became ever-present in her daily life — one former neighbor had a massive Trump banner in front of their house for years, and another had Trump written in big letters across their yard. When she put out a Hillary Clinton sign in 2016, it was stolen and her house was egged.

“I saw my neighbors and co-workers become more radicalized, more aggressive and more angry about politics. I’m thinking, where is this coming from? These are not the people I remember,” Schmitz said. “I was finally like, we need to get the hell out of here, things are not going well.”

Also quoted is a real estate agent claiming that he is suffering financially because of Florida’s embrace of freedom:

For some Florida newcomers though, politics is the main draw to the state, said John Desautels, who has sold real estate in Florida for decades.

But while politics are a lure to people arriving in the state, he said they’re also among the reasons sellers tell him they’re leaving, and the state’s politics have deterred some of his gay or nonwhite clients from moving there.

“The problem is, when we alienate protected classes, it sounds like a good sound bite, but you’ve got to remember those are people who spend money in our community,” he said. “For this pro-business, free state, I’m feeling it in the wallet, bad.”

Unfortunately for NBC, the reality is sinking in that Florida is refusing to go down the same path as California. And if Ron DeSantis’s blowout victory in 2022 is anything to go by, that will not be changing any time soon.

Daughter of Judge Overseeing Trump Hush Money Trial Helped Democrats Raise $93 Million Off Father’s Case

By: Ben Kew

The daughter of the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s hush money trial has helped her Democratic clients raise a staggering $93 million off her father’s case, The New York Post has revealed.

Loren Merchan, the daughter of Justice Juan Merchan of Manhattan Supreme Court who is overseeing Trump’s case, is the president of Authentic Campaigns, a Chicago-based left-wing political consulting firm. Some of its highest profile clients include California Rep. Adam Schiff and the Democratic-aligned Senate Majority PAC.

Both Schiff and the Senate Majority PAC have raised $93 million as clients of Merchan’s firm and are even using the politically driven case in fundraising emails.

“It is a somber moment, and unprecedented for a former president to be indicted, but his alleged offenses are also unprecedented,” Schiff wrote in an email to supporters. “Trump will respond as he always does — playing the victim and blaming others for having the temerity to investigate him in the first place.”

Meanwhile, the Senate Majority PAC similarly cited Trump’s indictment as part of its fundraising efforts. “BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump indicted by Manhattan grand jury This is an important moment for our democracy, but our work isn’t over,” the group wrote in an email last year, per Fox News. “We must continue protecting our Senate majority from GOP extremists. Please, rush in $10 (becomes $60) to help Defend the Senate.”

Trump’s legal team is now considering filing another motion demanding Merchan recuse himself from the trial, which is set to begin later this month.

“Authentic Campaigns, and thus the judge’s daughter, is actively making money from this sham attack against President Trump, rendering Judge Merchan conflicted out,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told The Post. “The judge should do the right thing and immediately recuse himself in order to show the American people that the Democrats have not destroyed our justice system completely . . . him continuing to be involved in this Crooked Joe Biden-directed Witch Hunt is a complete violation of applicable rules, regulations and ethics.”

Trump has also pointed to the fact that Loren Merchan allegedly had a private X account where the profile picture was of Trump behind bars, leading to the Judge issuing a gag order against him.

“Maybe the Judge is such a hater because his daughter makes money by working to “Get Trump,” and when he rules against me over and over again, he is making her company, and her, richer and richer,” he wrote at the time. “How can this be allowed?”

‘Operation Anti-Migrant’: Russia Starts Mass Deporting Muslims After Moscow Concert Massacre

By: Ben Kew

Russian authorities have begun deporting large numbers of Muslims in the wake of last week’s deadly Islamist state attack at a Moscow concert hall, in an effort that has been reportedly dubbed “Operation Anti-Migrant.”

According to The Moscow Times, anti-Islamic sentiment has soared in the aftermath of the attack, in which at least 144 people were killed and hundreds of more were wounded or in critical condition. Islamic State has since claimed responsibility for the massacre.

The Times notes:

Authorities in St. Petersburg have been deporting migrants en masse in the week since the deadly attack on a Moscow region concert hall, the legal rights group Perviy Otdel said Friday. More than 64 foreigners were deported from the city’s Vyborgsky district on Thursday alone, the NGO said, citing one of its unidentified lawyers.

A number of buses carrying migrants were also headed to St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo International Airport on Friday afternoon, they added. The countries where the migrants were being sent to were not specified, though it is known that labor migrants in Russia mostly hail from poor Central Asian countries.

The four men accused of carrying out the attack were from Tajikistan, a majority Muslim country that does not share a border with Russia.

RadioFreeEurope reported:

Russia is deporting hundreds of foreigners for immigration violations in the wake of the deadliest terrorist attack in nearly two decades. Meanwhile, many Tajik migrant workers are leaving the country on their own accord, fearing an increase in xenophobia.

Russian law enforcement has carried out sweeping checks of immigrants in the country after gunmen on March 22 killed 144 people at a concert hall near Moscow. Four of the suspected gunmen are Tajik citizens.

Courts in St. Petersburg this week ruled to deport 418 foreign citizens while another 48 must leave on their own accord, spokeswoman Daria Lebedeva said in a post on Telegram. The foreigners were rounded up in Russia’s second-largest city during broad searches of vehicles along major thoroughfares. Other cities are carrying out checks of migrant workers as well.

Islam is officially recognized in Russia as one of the country’s sanctioned religions, while Muslims represent around 14 percent of the its overall population.

However, there have long been tensions between Moscow and  Muslim-majority such as Chechnya and Dagestan, where separatist movements seek to set up their own Islamic republics.

A convicted murderer and a child rapist were among a slew of illegal aliens arrested at the U.S. southern border this weekend, border patrol have confirmed.

The arrests were announced by U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) Jason Owens on the X platform.

“USBP agents in Deming, NM arrested a Mexican national w/ prior convictions for 1st Degree Murder, Battery, Stalking, & Probation Violations,” Chief Owens explained on social media on Thursday.

“This is what’s known as an aggravated felon. He does not belong in the U.S., let alone in your communities.”

No other information was provided about the individual whose face was covered in tattoos.

Just this week, Owens revealed that people from over 160 countries had entered the U.S. illegally through the southern border at the invitation of Joe Biden:

So far, this fiscal year alone, we have had people from 160 countries or more come across our border illegally. Every country and every region has smugglers that try to facilitate a pipeline for them to get to where they are going and they are connected with one another. If they are coming from Europe or coming from Asia they will find ways to get to maybe South America and from South America then they may make their way up to the Darien Gap and make their way to Central America and ultimately find their way to decision points that take them to different points along our borders.

Leftist ‘Young Turks’ Host Ana Kasparian Praises Florida’s Anti-Squatting Law, Says Blue States Just ‘Sitting On Their Asses’

By: Ben Kew

Ana Kasparian, a co-host on the left-wing Young Turks network, has praised Florida and its governor Ron DeSantis for passing robust anti-squatting laws.

Just this week DeSantis signed bill HB 621, which allows people to remove squatters quickly and effectively rather than being subject to weeks or months of legal proceedings.

“If you’re the victim of squatting, you can simply fill out a form, give it to your local sheriff and the sheriff is instructed to go and remove the people who are inhabiting your dwelling illegally,” DeSantis said on announcing the legislation. “And that will happen very quickly.”

Kasparian said she was impressed by DeSantis’s swift action on the matter and pointed out that blue states are doing nothing to protect property rights.

“I am impressed by the speed DeSantis did something about this,” she said. “We’re seeing stories out of New York and California where lawmakers are just sitting on their asses and doing nothing about it. And I think it is wrong. I think that they shouldn’t just sit around and do nothing as these stories continue to flood the press.”

Ana Kasparian praises Ron DeSantis and Florida for passing an anti-squatter bill, and criticizes New York and California for “sitting on their asses and doing nothing about it”.

She undercuts the premise when she says “We don’t know how widespread squatting really is”. https://t.co/GhBsO3jHcU pic.twitter.com/LCMVkcMEJD

— Post-Left Watch (@PostLeftWatch) March 29, 2024

Despite being an ardent progressive, Kasparian is known to sometimes break ranks with left-wing orthodoxy and speak some degree of common sense. Last year, she described the state of California as a “nightmare” and warned people against visiting.

“So, Gavin Newsom and the current Democratic legislature in the state of California have engaged in this trend of decriminalizing everything and refusing to regulate things,” she explained at the time. “No one is safe, everyone’s angry, and you see all sorts of terrible stuff happening right there in broad daylight in the middle of the street.”

“California is *without question* a shit show under Newsom,” she continued. “But I guess propping up proven failures is what the Democratic Party excels at these days.”

The Associated Press Gaslights Struggling Americans, Claims Lower Prices Would Actually Be a Bad Thing

By: Ben Kew

The Associated Press (AP) is running cover for the rampant inflation experienced under Joe Biden by claiming that falling prices would actually be a bad thing.

In an article by the AP’s economics writer Paul Wiseman, he makes the case that lower prices would be worse for the economy as it is a sign of deflation:

Wouldn’t it be great if prices actually fell — what economists call deflation? Who wouldn’t want to fire up a time machine and return to the days before the economy rocketed out of the pandemic recession and sent prices soaring?

At least prices are now rising more slowly — what’s called disinflation. On Friday, for example, the government said a key price gauge rose 0.3% in February, down from a 0.4% gain in January. And compared with a year earlier, prices were up 2.5%, way down from a peak of 7.1% in mid-2022.

But those incremental improvements are hardly enough to please the public, whose discontent over prices poses a risk to President Joe Biden’s re-election bid.

Wiseman goes on to make the case that prices going back to what they were before Biden took office would have a detrimental impact:

“Most Americans are not just looking for disinflation,’’ Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, said last year. “They’re looking for deflation. They want these prices to be back where they were before the pandemic.’’

Many economists caution, though, that consumers should be careful what they wish for. Falling prices across the economy would actually be an unhealthy sign.

“There are,’’ the Bank of England warns, “more consequences from falling prices than meets the eye.’’

Deflation is, of course, a well known phenomenon that can have serious negative economic consequences. However, what most Americans probably wish for is that inflation had never been allowed to skyrocket in the first place, instead remaining at a healthy level of between one and two percent.

Despite being a supposedly neutral and fact based news wire, the AP is one of the many media organs of the Biden regime.

Just this week, the AP rushed to politicize the history around Francis Scott Key, the author of the national anthem, following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore. This was presumably done in the hope that it will be renamed as part of the left’s continued assault on American history.

#METOO MADNESS: Spanish Prosecutors Seek 2.5 YEARS in Prison For Soccer Chief For Kissing Lesbian Player

By: Ben Kew

Prosecutors in Spain are seeking a prison sentence of two and a half years for a Spanish soccer executive accused of kissing a lesbian player without consent.

Luis Rubiales, who was president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, briefly kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the lips following his country’s victory in the World Cup Final against England. He has always insisted the kiss was consensual and denied any wrongdoing.

While Hermoso did not seem to be bothered at the time, the issue became a media firestorm and led to Rubiales eventual resignation and banning from soccer related activities for three years.

Yet that was not enough for Hermoso and Spanish prosecutors, who are now charging Rubiales with sexual assault and coercion. They are seeking a two and a half year prison sentence and 50,000 euros in compensation.

The prosecution is demanding a prison sentence of 2 years and 6 months for Luis Rubiales for the non-consensual kiss of Jenni Hermoso!

Rubiales “grabbed the player’s head with both hands, and surprisingly and without consent or the player’s acceptance, he kissed her on the lips”, the prosecutors wrote, adding that hte incident hadcaused her “anxiety and intense stress” for months afterward.

Prosecutors are also requesting a restraining order preventing Rubiales from coming within 200 metres of Hermoso and from contacting her for the next seven-and-a-half years.

Rubiales was also criticized for grabbing his crotch while celebrating the victory, all while standing next to Spain’s Queen Letizia and her daughter Princess Infanta Sofia.

SAY YOU ARE SORRY: Tucker Carlson Demands Doctors Apologize For Recommending Dodgy COVID Jab

By: Ben Kew

Talk show host Tucker Carlson has demanded that doctors apologize for recommending the dodgy COVID-19 vaccine.

During an appearance on The Jimmy Dore Show, Carlson called on the tens of thousands of doctors who pushed the jab and other COVID related lies to apologize and admit they were wrong:

I think what’s so interesting is that doctors who clearly can read, I mean they’re literate by definition, they’re not stupid by definition, you hope, I think that’s true, they’re smart. Look at the evidence and fundamentally everything they said about the vax and it has hurt a lot of people. And some doctors, the three that you mentioned, and they’re great, but there are tens of thousands of doctors in the United States and why aren’t they standing up and saying oh my gosh I’m so sorry, I can’t believe I recommended it.

Carlson went on to admit that he supported the Iraq War but that he realized he was wrong to do so and has regretted it ever since:

I mean I endorsed the Iraq War in 2003 and at the end of 2003 I realized I was wrong and I have felt bad about it for 20 years. In fact it was 20 years ago this week that I went to Iraq and I felt bad about it ever since then and every opportunity I have apologized. Not to please other people but to maintain my dignity and self-respect, I mean that is a pre-requisite if you hurt someone unintentionally you have to say I’m sorry. And I can’t believe that 99 percent of American doctors won’t do that. I’m not going to them, by the way. I would never go to a doctor who was still lying about COVID because that is a dangerous and immoral person.

Despite Tucker’s pleas, the majority of the medical industry are still insisting that the vaccine is both safe and effective and urging people to take booster shots.

Last month, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has downgraded the severity of COVID to the same status as the flu, calling for a “unified approach” to treating such conditions.

“However, we still must use the commonsense solutions we know work to protect ourselves and others from serious illness from respiratory viruses—this includes vaccination, treatment, and staying home when we get sick,” said CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen at the time.

EASY TIGER! GOP Rep. Tim Walberg Suggests Ending War in Gaza and Russia ‘Like Nagasaki and Hiroshima’

By: Ben Kew

Michigan Congressman Tim Walberg appeared to get somewhat carried away with his rhetoric during a town hall meeting with constituents this week.

The event, which was held at Dundee Village Hall in Michigan, allowed attendees to ask Walberg his view on various hot button issues of the day.

One man said he knew a soldier who was travelling to Gaza to help build a port at the request of the Biden administration as Israel carries out its war against Hamas.

“Why are we spending our money to build a port for them?” the man asked, according to a video posted on the X platform.

“It’s Joe Biden’s reason; we need to get humanitarian aid into Gaza,” Walberg responded. “I don’t think any of our aid that goes to Israel to support our greatest ally, arguably maybe in the world, to defeat Hamas and Iran and Russia, and probably North Korea’s in there, and China, too, with them helping Hamas — we shouldn’t be spending a dime on humanitarian aid.”

The Congressman then brought up the example of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, when the allies dropped two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities, which together killed over 100,000 people.

Although the bombings did bring a swift end to the war with the surrender of the Axis powers, debate over the ethics of the decision is debated to this date.

“It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima,” he continued. “Get it over quick. The same should be in Ukraine. Defeat Putin quick.”

In a statement to Detroit News, Walberg’s spokesman Mike Rorke insisted that he “vehemently disagrees with putting our troops in harm’s way.”

Great to be in Jackson and Monroe counties to meet with constituents.

“He has great empathy for the innocent people in Gaza who have been thrust into this situation due to the attack carried out by Hamas leaving 1,163 innocent civilians dead,” Rorke said.
“During his community gathering, [Walberg] clearly uses a metaphor to support Israel’s swift elimination of Hamas, which is the best chance to save lives long-term and the only hope at achieving a permanent peace in the region,” he continued.

WATCH AND SHARE: Devastating Documentary ‘Climate: The Movie’ Obliterates Climate Scam, Shadowbanned By YouTube

By: Ben Kew

A devastating new film by British documentary filmmaker Martin Durkin has obliterated the climate change scam in just 80 minutes.

Durkin, a former revolutionary communist turned staunch libertarian, exposes the climate change scam by interviewing a cast of world renowned academics and researchers who calmly break down how the earth’s climate has always been changing and not a result of human activity.

Climate: The Movie is neatly summarized by the conservative journalist Toby Young over at The Spectator, who describes it as the “cure for climate anxiety” experienced by so many leftist ignoramuses:

A new documentary, Climate: The Movie, by the maverick filmmaker Martin Durkin, is becoming a phenomenon, though it’s received almost no publicity in the mainstream media. It rejects the idea that we’re in the midst of a ‘climate emergency’, so that’s hardly surprising. But it has already racked up millions of views online and been translated into ten languages. I watched it on YouTube on Monday and can confirm it’s a dazzlingly entertaining film that distils the case against climate alarmism into a succinct 80 minutes.

One of the reasons it’s so hard to challenge the narrative about climate change is because it supposedly reflects the ‘settled’ scientific consensus…. To underline this, the film features a cast of distinguished scientists, including the winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize for physics, who gleefully take on all the sacred cows of the environmental lobby.

Among the film’s stellar set of contributors include Sallie Louise Baliunas, a retired Harvard astrophysicist, John Clauser, a theoretical and experimental physicist who won a Nobel Prize in Physics, William Happer, a Professor of Physics at Princeton and Richard Lindzen, former Professor of Meteorology at MIT.

As well as detailng the paper thin fake science behind the climate scam, the film also explains how global elites invented the scam and then built a multi trillion dollar industry around it, creating incredible vested interests who will aggressively censor and attack those who contradict the official narrative.

“I made the movie because I think the climate alarm is bollocks and because I hate Greens (reactionary misanthrope snobs), and I love material progress (everyone getting richer), and the values and aspirations of what are called ‘ordinary people,'” Durkin told The Gateway Pundit in an interview.

The film is already being shadowbanned by YouTube and other Big Tech platforms, many of whom fear the prospect of people waking up about the extent of the climate change scam.

‘I’m Not a Progressive’: Sen. John Fetterman Talks Sense on Immigration and Israel in Fox Interview

By: Ben Kew

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman has surprised many people since taking office in 2023 with some of his moderate and actively sensible political positions.

Having gained a reputation as a left-wing progressive, Fetterman said in an interview with Fox News that he does not identify as a progressive but acknowledges that some people have been “taken by surprise” by some of his political positions.

He explained:

I know that some people were caught by surprise. And, you know, even when I just said, you know, in passing that I’m not a progressive, I’ve been saying that for years, actually. I’ve just really been committed to really being on what I thought it was like the right side on these things. And no, maybe politically it might be less popular with our base.

Fetterman also weighed in on the severity of the illegal immigrant invasion, a policy that many of his Democratic colleagues are actively encouraging:

When you started just following the numbers that are coming again and then when you’ve reached 200,000 or 250,000 folks that are encountered at the border – I mean that’s astonishing. And then just putting that in the context of Pennsylvania. I was like, ‘Oh my goodness. That’s nearly the size of Pittsburgh.’ And that’s our second-largest city. You can be very pro-immigration, but also demand and require that we have a secure border there as well too. I don’t know why that’s really controversial for a Democrat or any American to be pro-immigration.

The Democrat has also caused anger among some of his supporters for his staunch support for Israel, pushing back against suggestions that they are carrying out a genocide against Palestinians:

If you really want to end all of the misery and the death and the destruction – if they would just surrender, it would end tomorrow. Release everybody (the hostages). Send them home. And that’s been very frustrating. And then we’re talking about now there’s 31,000 Palestinians that were were killed. And what you’re not talking about (is) 13,000 or more are actually Hamas fighters on that. So why aren’t you breaking that out as well too? And then if you do and talk about the casualty ratio, it’s actually very clear that this isn’t a genocide or that the Israelis are targeting civilians. In fact, the only ones that target civilians? That’s Hamas.

Fetterman also opened up about his mental health, having preivously been admitted to a mental health hospital after suffering from depression.

“I feel great. I feel very fortunate, every day, to be a part of this,” he said. “I know that regardless of where you are politically or anyone watching this right now (who’s suffering from depression), it’s not you. You probably have someone that you love or know or work with that has an issue, whether it’s depression or anything like that. And I would encourage (you) to please consider getting help.”

Democrats Push Bill to Prevent Trump Receiving Pre-Election Security Briefings

By: Ben Kew
Former president Donald Trump discussed the candidacy of his former vice president, Mike Pence, in the wide-ranging interview.

Former president Donald Trump discussed the candidacy of his former vice president, Mike Pence, in the wide-ranging interview.

A Democratic-sponsored bill is seeking to prevent Donald Trump from receiving classified information in the run-up to 2024 presidential election.

Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) has drafted the Guarding United States Against Reckless Disclosures (GUARD) Act, which if passed would prevent the president, vice president, members of Congress, and federal candidates from accessing classified information if they face charges related to obstructing official proceedings, unlawfully retaining classified defense information, or engaging in activities as a foreign agent, alongside other criminal allegations.

Although the bill does not reference Trump by name, Sherill made no secret of the fact it was designed specficially for him.

Sherill said in a statement on Thursday:

As a Navy veteran and former prosecutor, I have zero tolerance for any betrayal of the public trust, especially when it comes to classified information and our national security. That’s why I’m extremely concerned about recent charges against Donald Trump and his continued desire to access sensitive classified information, despite reckless actions, and serious criminal charges.

Nobody is entitled or legally obligated to classified briefings — certainly not Trump, even if he is the Republican nominee for president. This legislation is urgent and should be considered by both parties as a necessary step to protect intelligence and ensure sensitive information doesn’t get into the wrong hands.

Presidential nominees are typically provided with classified information and security briefings in the run-up to the election. This is depsite the fact that Trump will have also been subject to countless reams of classified information over the course of his four years in the White House.

As part of their campaign of political persecution against the former president to try and prevent him winning a third consecutive election, federal prosecutors have charged Trump with a variety of crimes related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents.

These include willful retention of national defense information, concealing a document or record, conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. Trump has denied the all the charges and the case is unlikely to go to trial before the November election.

‘Devout Catholic’ Joe Biden Bans Christian-Themed Designs From White House Easter Art Contest

By: Ben Kew

The supposedly “devout Catholic” Joe Biden has banned any Christian-themed designs from being submitted to the White House’s Easter-themed art contest.

The contest, which is for children of members of the National Guard, is part of the White House’s annual Easter celebrations.

However, a flyer for the contest states that submissions “must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements,” despite the fact that Easter is an explicitly Christian festival.

Children are also warned not to submit any material containing “bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against any group or individual or promotes discrimination based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age.”

The flyer continues:

As part of the White House Easter traditions, America’s Egg Farmers – for nearly 50 years – have proudly presented an intricately decorated Commemorative Easter Egg to the First Lady of the United States. In 2021, the White House expanded on this longstanding tradition by displaying youth-designed Easter eggs in the White House East Colonnade.

On behalf of First Lady Jill Biden, The Adjutants General of the National Guard are asking youth from National Guard families across the United States and all U.S. territories to submit artwork inspired by the theme ‘Celebrating our Military Families.’

Selected designs representing the unique experience and stories of National Guard children will be brought to life on real hen eggs by talented egg artists from across the country and displayed at the White House this Easter and Passover season.

Winners of the contest will have their designs painted by artists on real eggs and put on display at the White House.

As per tradition, the Easter Egg Roll will take place on Monday. At last year’s event, Joe Biden was up to his usual tricks, sniffing a little girl before being whisked away by his son Hunter.

SICK! 50-Year-Old Transgender Woman ‘Breastfeeds’ Grandchild Using Experimental Hormones

By: Ben Kew

A 50-year-old biological man has reportedly managed to “breastfeed” his grandchild using experimental hormones.

According to research conducted by Duke University, the unidentified individual produced 30ml of milk per feeding session following a four week course of hormone treatment.

Mail Online reports that the researchers, who published their findings in the journal Breastfeeding Medicine, said the patient had expressed their “unique desire” back a few years ago:

The patient first expressed the unique desire to breastfeed her expected grandchild at an appointment with her endocrinologist in the spring of 2022. She disclosed that this was a last-minute idea that came to her very close to her daughter’s due date. At five weeks after initiating treatment changes for lactation induction, she reverted to her previous medication regimen.

She states that she stopped pursuing her personal goal to breastfeed due to logistical barriers, such as the need to take care of her grandchild while her daughter was pumping. Her primary motivation for inducing lactation was to experience the bond from breastfeeding that she had not been able to experience with her own five children.

The transgender woman described it as an emotional experience that helped her forge a “special bond” with her grandchild:

The patient tearfully reported this was a significant and emotional experience for her that felt very different from formula feeding her other children. She states she has a special bond with this baby for which she is grateful. She regrets that she had not known about the possibility sooner and wished that other transgender women could know that breastfeeding a baby can be a reality.

She reported unforeseen benefits, including female gender affirmation and full breast maturation. The patient did not experience any side effects from her treatment regimen.

Meanwhile, the study’s authors concluded that the findings are promising for transgender women who may wish to provide milk to someone else’s child.

“This report offers a new effective hormone regimen for transgender patients who wish to lactate and cannot access domperidone-the galactagogue used in previous case reports,” they noted.

“It also provides a review of previously published case reports on this subject,” it continued. “Future research in this field should prioritize cohort studies of transgender patients who desire lactation to further assess patient attitudes, experiences, and outcomes.

BRITAIN CONQUERED? Pakistani Flag Flown From Westminster Abbey… During Holy Week!

By: Ben Kew

The United Kingdom showcased its submission to mass immigration on Tuesday by flying the Pakistani flag above its most important Anglican church.

Footage shared across the X platform showed the flag of Pakistan flying above Westminster Abbey, an Anglican church in central London that is host to royal weddings, funerals, and other national occasions.

According to the Pakistan High Commission, the flag was hoisted to celebrate Pakistan Day, a national holiday commemorating the adoption of the first Constitution of Pakistan.

“Special prayers were offered for the progress and prosperity of Pakistan, its leadership & people as well as for the continued friendship between the two countries,” the commission noted.

“A large number of British citizens, Churchgoers and officials from Pakistan High Commission attended the event.”

Such an act of deference is particularly offensive to Christians given Pakistan’s brutal persecution of its Christian minority, who are regularly the target of the country’s blasphemy laws.

According to Global Christian Relief, Christian persecution in Pakistan “includes large-scale kidnappings of young believers who are thrust into forced marriages, dreadful violence directed at churches on feast days, and societal discrimination.”

“Today, Christian persecution in Pakistan is evident in the form of job discrimination; over 80% of Pakistani believers are from these lower echelons of society and often work undesirable jobs,” the organization notes.

The rising of the another country’s flag is also a reflection of Britain’s large Pakistani population, many of whom hold Christianity in contempt. According to the most recent national census, there are around 1.5 million Pakistanis living in the UK, with that number growing every year.

‘Senator Karen Pocahontas’: Elon Musk Comes Up With Brutal Nickname for Elizabeth Warren

By: Ben Kew

Elon Musk has come up with a good nickname for leftist Senator Elizabeth Warren.

Posting on the X platform this week, the Senator for Massachusetts took aim at Musk and other billionaires for allegedly not paying their fair share of tax:

Jeff Bezos. Elon Musk. Michael Bloomberg. What’s the thing they all have in common? They all pay less in tax than a Boston public school teacher. That’s not right. And it is why President Biden is taking on the billionaires.

And it is why just this week I reintroduced my ultra millionaires tax. If someone starts a business and makes it big, good for them. My bill says that if you make it big, I mean really big, I mean more than $50 million, then pitch in two cents on every dollar over $50 million. And why? So everyone else can have a chance.

That’s it. It is simple. After all, these billionaires on roads we all pay to maintain, and with workers we all pay to educate. And what can we get for millionaires and billionaires finally pay a fair share? Universal childcare and pre k. Tuition free technical school and public college. And we can make the kind of investments in our communities that will give everyone a fighting chance.

“Senator Karen Pocahontas,” Musk replied to the post, a reference to Warren’s status as a middle class white woman as well as her false claims of having Native American ancestry.

This week I reintroduced my Ultra-Millionaire Tax.

It is not the first time that Musk has clashed with Warren, who is notorious for her campaign against the super wealthy despite raking in a huge annual salary herself.

Just this week, Warren again urged the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate Tesla, CEO Elon Musk and the company’s board of directors over what she described as a “possible misappropriation of Tesla resources and conflicts of interest arising from Mr. Musk’s dual role at Tesla and X— renamed from Twitter.”

‘We Want It Now’: Black Clergy Demand $15 Billion in Reparations From ‘White Churches’ in Boston

By: Ben Kew

Black clergy in Boston are demanding a $15 billion reparations package paid for by “white churches” in the local area.

The demands were made during a press conference the Resurrection Lutheran Church, organized by the Boston People’s Reparations Commission, according to The Boston Globe.

Among the speakers Reverend Kevin Peterson, who previously led a campaign to rename the popular tourist site of Faneuil Hall because of the name’s links to a slaveowner.

“We call sincerely and with a heart filled with faith and Christian love for our White churches to join us and not be silent around this issue of racism and slavery and commit to reparations,” Peterson declared.

“We point to them in Christian love to publicly atone for the sins of slavery and we ask them to publicly commit to a process of reparations where they will extend their great wealth — tens of millions of dollars among some of those churches — into the Black community,” he continued. 

Also speaking at the event was Danielle Williams, the director of a social justice group called Prophetic Resistance Boston, who claims her great-great-grandmother was a slave in North Carolina.

“Black people, the descendants of slavery, have been washing the feet of our oppressors for well over 400 years,” Williams reportedly said. “Now it’s time for you to wash our feet. The descendants of slavery, we want our reparations. We want it now.”

Another speaker, Rev. John E. Gibbons of Arlington Street Church, said that the commitment of various churches to research their links to slavery was not enough and that they must cough up money instead.

“That is not enough,” Gibbons said. “Somehow we need to move with some urgency toward action and so part of what we’re doing is to prod and encourage white churches to go beyond what they have done thus far.”

The Task Force have now sent a letter, signed by 16 religious leaders, to churches asking for their support and compliance with their demands. It is unclear whether any of those churches have responded.

Boston’s Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu first approved the launch of the city’s Reparations Task Force back in February, joining San Francisco in entertaining the prospect of reparations payments to black people, regardless of whether their ancestors were slaves.

Last December, Wu made national headlines after organizing a “no-whites” Christmas Party for Boston city councillors, although later claimed the email had been sent in error.

HUH? Stock Trader Extraodinaire Nancy Pelosi Calls Trump a ‘Grifter’ (VIDEO)

By: Ben Kew

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who has amassed a fortune of over $100 million over her political career, has suggested that Donald Trump is a grifter.

In an interview with former White House Press Secretary turned MSNBC host Jen Psaki, Pelosi said it was “very clear” that Trump swindling his donors.

“You’ve been ahead of the curve that Trump is a conman for a long time,” Psaki remarked. “The fact they want to pay his own legal bills despite claiming he is a billionaire feels like it’s an in-your-face example. I know your concern is not the Republican donors, but are they being duped?”

“Well, I think it’s very clear that Trump is a grifter,” Pelosi responded. “That is the way it is. Integrity which is something we all want to always deepen in politics and government has just flown the coop with him.

“These people who are so happy to give him money to pay his legal fees should be told that is where they are spending money,” she continued.

Such comments are deeply ironic given Pelosi’s long history of making huge profits on stocks that have raised suspicions about potential insider trading.

Just last month, Pelosi’s husband Paul cashed in a whopping $1.25 million profit in just three months on the computer chip company Nvidia.

In 2021, Pelosi defended the buying and selling of stocks by members of Congress on the grounds that America has a free-market economy.

“Should members of congress and their spouses be banned from trading individual stocks while serving in Congress?” a reporter asked Pelos at the time.

“No…We are a free market economy,” she responded. “We are a free-market economy and they should be able to participate in that.”

FDA Admits COVID Vaccine Leads to ‘Significiantly Elevated’ Risk of Seizure in Toddlers

By: Ben Kew

Toddlers and young children are at a “significantly elevated” risk of seizure after taking the COVID-19 vaccine, according to the latest research by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Researchers found that children experienced a 2.5-fold increase in febrile seizures within 24 hours of receiving a Moderna shot compared to the same children between eight to 63 days post-vaccination. There were 88 febrile seizures after the Pfizer vaccination among the study group.

The report states:

In this self-controlled case series that included participants aged 2-5 years from three commercial insurance databases, the incidence rate ratio of febrile seizures was significantly elevated in the 0-1 days following mRNA-1273 administration. Absolute risk was small.

The incidence of febrile seizures was elevated immediately following vaccination with the monovalent mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine in children aged 2-5 years. Based on the current body of evidence, the safety profile of monovalent mRNA vaccines remains favorable for use in young children.

The findings raise further concerns about the various vaccines, which have led to a variety of serious side effects despite being touted by the medical establishment as “safe and effective.”

Last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) added the COVID-19 vaccine to the routine immunization schedule for both children and adolescents, meaning it will delivered to millions of children and young people. It is commonly accepted that COVID-19 does not pose a significant threat to young people.

Unlike most vaccines, the COVID-19 shots did not prevent transmission, meaning the virus continued to spread despite many people receiving multiple shots. Pharmaceutical firms such as Pfizer and Moderna insisted that it was successful in preventing serious illness.

Meanwhile, the Biden regime and many other governments around the world used it as an opportunity to fire those who refused to get the vaccine from public sector jobs and participating in normal life.

Earlier this month, the CDC downgraded the severity of the COVID-19 to the same status as the flu, calling for a “unified approach” to treating such conditions. However, it still urged members of the public to carry on getting vaccinated and boosted to prevent “serious illness, hospitalization and death.”

Kamala Harris Threatens Israel, Warns of ‘Consequences’ If Netanyahu Proceeds With Rafah Invasion (VIDEO)

By: Ben Kew

Vice President Kamala Harris has warned Israel it will face “consequences” if it proceeds with an invasion of the Palestinian city of Rafah.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly indicated that he will invade the territory as his military continues to wage its brutal war against Hamas.

In an interview with ABC News’s Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott, Harris confirmed she had “studied the maps” and that any military operation would be opposed by the United States.

“We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake,” Harris told ABC News. “Let me tell you something: I have studied the maps. There’s nowhere for those folks to go.”

When asked whether there would be “consequences” for Israel in doing so, Harris answered in the affirmative.

“Well, we’re going to take it one step at a time, but we’ve been very clear in terms of our perspective on whether or not that should happen,” Harris said.

“Are you ruling out that there would be consequences from the United States?” Scott asked.

“I am ruling out nothing,” Harris replied.

Harris was also asked about a speech given by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in which he demanded that Netanyahu step down from power, and whether she agreed with Netanyahu’s response that such comments were “wholly inapprorpiate.”

“I believe that we have got to continue to enforce what we know to be and should be the priorities in terms of what is happening in Gaza,” Harris said, refusing to answer the question.

“We’ve been very clear that far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. We have been very clear that Israel and the Israeli people and Palestinians are entitled to an equal amount of security and dignity.”

Last week, it emerged that Harris’s stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, was fundraising for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, an organization that recently had its funding cut by the U.S. over allegations of its ties to Islamist terror group Hamas.

REPORT: Desperate Biden Considering ‘Nuclear Option’ on Border Invasion, Fears Upsetting Democrats

By: Ben Kew

Joe Biden is considering a “nuclear option” on the border that would make it slightly less easy to enter the country illegally.

According to a report from Axios, Biden is “still considering harsh executive actions at the border before November’s election” as polls currently suggest Trump is heading towards an election victory.

However, the report notes that such a move would upset fellow Democrats, the majority of whom support leaving America’s border entirely open for anyone to enter:

Legal, logistical and political risks are constantly being weighed. Any new surge in border numbers could add urgency for what one administration official described as the nuclear option.

Border numbers fell in January and only ticked up slightly in February, but crossings historically rise in the spring and summer, which could add pressure on the administration to take more drastic measures. That move, however, would upset some Democrats.

The orders being considered would ban people from entering the U.S. if they illegally crossed the border and make it harder for people to pass the first interview in the asylum-seeking process, as has been reported.

It is unclear whether such proposals would ever be properly implemented. Meanwhile, a White House spokesperson demanded that Republicans in Congress pass Biden’s proposed border legislation, despite little sign that it would bring down numbers.

“No executive action, no matter how aggressive, can deliver the significant policy reforms and additional resources Congress can provide and that Republicans rejected,” a White House spokesperson said.

This is actually happening!

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 19, 2024

“We continue to call on Speaker [Mike] Johnson and House Republicans to pass the bipartisan deal to secure the border.”

Any executive action would run contrary to the White House immigration policy since Biden seized office in 2021, which has allowed more than 10 million people to illegally enter the country and consequently demand benefits from the American taxpayer.

Earlier this month, Biden used the term “illegal” to refer the alien who murdered Georgia nursing student Laken Riley after being heckled by Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. He later apologized for using this term, saying he should have used the term “undocumented” instead.

French Gov’t Report Declares Child Sex Changes Could Be ‘Greatest Ethical Scandal in Medical History’

By: Ben Kew

A report from French lawmakers has concluded that child sex changes could be one of the “greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine.”

The report, commissioned by members of the center-right Republican Party, outlines how healthcare providers have been influenced by trans-activist groups into violating basic medical standards.

Citing “tense scientific and medical debate”, the report accuses LGBT groups of promoting gender transition through aggressive social media campaigns aimed at vulnerable young people.

Its conclusion states:

There are many pathways that lead to gender dysphoria.These include mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety, anorexia, past trauma, autism,the emergence of sexuality – whether heterosexuality or homosexuality – and others. However, we are told that the medical course of gender transition is the only treatment that addresses all of these problems.

Ultimately, there is every reason to believe that youth gender transition will be considered one of the greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine. An ethical scandal approved by the medical profession, schools, universities, media and policies.

French Senators behind the report now plan on tabling legislation that would prevent the medical mutilation of minors by banning the use of puberty blockers and hormones to people under the age of 18.

Maud Vasselle, a mother whose daughter underwent gender transition treatment, told newspaper Le Figaro that a “child is not old enough to ask to have her body altered.”

“My daughter just needed the certificate of a psychiatrist, which she obtained after a one-hour consultation. But doctors don’t explain the consequences of puberty blockers,” she explained.

“My daughter didn’t realise that life wasn’t going to be so easy with all these treatments… She was a brilliant little girl but now she’s failing at school. And she is far from having found the solution to her problems.”

“Maud Vasselle, a mother whose daughter underwent gender transition treatment, told Le Figaro: ‘A child is not old enough to ask to have her body altered.

“‘My daughter just needed the certificate of a psychiatrist, which she obtained after a one-hour consultation. But doctors…

The report marks the continued pushback against child sex changes across the U.S. and Europe. Last year, Britain’s National Health Service banned the use of puberty blockers outside of clinical research.

Meanwhile, numerous Republican states have similarly outlawed the practice, although the most determined are still able to access such forms of “healthcare” in Democratic states such as New York and California.

AOC Says Trump ‘Ordered Terrorist Attack’ on J6, Insists Lawfare Campaign is ‘Not About Politics’ (VIDEO)

By: Ben Kew

Ever known for her hyperbole, far-left New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has falsely accused Donald Trump of ordering a “terrorist attack” against the Capitol during the January 6th protests.

In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Ocasio-Cortez made the case that the current lawfare campaign against Trump is not political but instead about prosecuting terrorist activity:

Has there ever been a president, Republican or Democrat, that has been subject to this level of criminal charges, indictments and investigations? This is not about party. This is not about politics. This is about corruption and criminality.

We’re talking about an individual who ordered essentially a terrorist attack on the Capitol of the United States in order to retain power. That is not about being a Republican. It is not about being a Democrat. It’s about being an unethical individual who is subject and prone to criminality.

And unfortunately, this is the state that we’re in. And I actually think that the fact that it’s happening in so many places and so many jurisdictions cuts in the face of that.

It is, of course, not the first time that Ocasio-Cortez has wildly exaggerated the threat posed during the January 6th protests, in which individuals expressed their frustration at the lack of action taken against widespread evidence of election fraud.

AOC: Trump “Ordered Essentially a Terrorist Attack” on the U.S. Capitol.

Tapper asks AOC if independent voters could perceive Trump’s many legal cases as “somebody that the government is going after.”

“I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out,” she wrote at the time after Cruz expressed agreement with her over a policy issue. “Happy to work [with] almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed. In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign.”

Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski has threatened to leave the Republican Party over the nomination of Donald Trump.

Murkowski, who has long sought to undermine Trump and the wider conservative agenda, bemoaned the fact that he was once again the party’s nominee.

“I wish that as Republicans, we had … a nominee that I could get behind,” Murkowski said in an interview with CNN. “I certainly can’t get behind Donald Trump.”

When asked whether she would consider leaving the GOP and becoming an independent, Murkowski suggested that she might.

“Oh, I think I’m very independent minded,” she said. “I just regret that our party is seemingly becoming a party of Donald Trump.”

When pressed on what this mean, she responded:  “I am navigating my way through some very interesting political times. Let’s just leave it at that.”

Having refused to support Trump in both 2016 and 2020, Murkowski to undermine key parts of his agenda by voting, including voting against the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh over fabricated allegations of sexual assault. In 2022, she voted for Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Murkowski was also one of seven Republican Senators to vote to convict Trump for his supposed role in the January 6th protests and vehemently dismissed mountains of evidence that the election was tainted by widespread election fraud.

“The facts make clear that the violence and desecration of the Capitol that we saw on January 6 was not a spontaneous uprising. President Trump had set the stage months before the 2020 election by stating repeatedly that the election was rigged, casting doubt into the minds of the American people about the fairness of the election,” she argued at the time.

Despite being wildly unpopular among Alaska Republicans, Murkowski managed to hold on to her seat at the most recent election because of a ranked choice voting system in which Democrats supported.

Kevin McCarthy: Republicans ‘Lost The Majority’ When They Removed Me as Speaker

By: Ben Kew

Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy has said that the Republican Party lost its majority when Rep. Matt Gaetz ousted him from power.

In an interview Jesse Watters over on Fox News, McCarthy weighed in on the current turmoil facing his successor Mike Johnson as the Republicans have had their majority slashed to one single vote:

I don’t know what they’re doing spending now, but when I became Speaker, I instituted a 72-hour rule that got not just the members the opportunity to read the bill, but America as well.

You’d never waive it unless it’s a Continuing Resolution, something you’re already doing so people would know. I think it’s always helpful to allow people to read the bill, allow America to read the bill. And really, this comes down to what’s happening in Congress today.

It goes back to when those eight Republicans led by Gaetz partnered with every single Democrat to decide who could be Speaker. That’s when Republicans lost the majority.

The current dispute centers around the passing of a $1.2 trillion spending bill, which Republican opponents have pointed out will fund various progressive policies such as DEI, abortion, and LGBT ideology while failing to secure the southern border.

The former California lawmaker, who resigned from Congress in December months after he was removed as Speaker, went on to promote his own record in office:

Jesse, remember what we were able to do in a small majority of the first nine months? The strongest, most conservative border security bill, energy independence. We did a Parents’ Bill of Rights. We stopped DC from decriminalizing. We stopped the pandemic officially. We stopped them from kicking out our men and women in the military who refuse the vaccine.

We have the biggest cut in savings voted on American history — more than $2 trillion. We got welfare reform. We cut $20 billion of that from the IRS that was going to hire to go after us, very successful and you work together with a small majority, and all those bills had 72 hours to read them because people could get behind them.

The situation for House Republicans is now more precarious than ever. Over the past two weeks, RINO Reps. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin and Ken Buck of Colorado have announced their resignation from Congress following backlash over their opposition to impeaching Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. Meanwhile, a special election to replace McCarthy will proceed to a runoff in May.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams Cancels Trip to Southern Border, Claims It Is Too Unsafe

By: Ben Kew

New York City Eric Adams has canceled his trip to the southern border on the grounds it is not safe enough for him to visit.

Adams, whose city is at breaking point under the pressure of tens of thousands of illegal aliens expecting hospitality, had been invited to the visit area of Sister Norma Pimentel, executive director of the Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley in San Juan.

According to The New York Post, mayoral spokeswoman Amaris Cockfield confirmed the cancelation in a statement Saturday:

As Lent draws to a close, our team was excited to stand with faith and humanitarian leaders who have dedicated their lives to serving the most needy among us, and we were eager to discuss our work in New York City and explore new ways to collaborate with leaders in cities across the country.

But due to safety concerns at one of the cities we were going to visit in Mexico flagged by the U.S. Department of State, we have decided to pause this visit at this time.

The trip would have been Adams’s second visit to the border. Last October, he visited the Mexican city of Puebla, where he delivered a confusing message of both “Mi casa es su casa” while also stating that New York was unable to take in any more migrants.

“We are neighbors. We are familia. Mi casa es su casa. Your struggles are my struggles,” Adams said. “There is no more room in New York. Our hearts are endless, but our resources are not. “We don’t want to put people in congregate shelters. We don’t want people to think they will be employed.”

Despite constantly complaining about the constant flow of people arriving in New York, Adams has yet to demand that Joe Biden fully secure the border and end the migant invasion. Instead, he has sought to persuade other parts of the country to take shoulder the burden instead.

This is actually happening!

Over 10 million migrants have entered the U.S. illegally since Joe Biden seized office in 2021, more people than the population of 36 states. As thousands arrive on a daily basis, that figure is increasing every day and may well be an underestimation of the real numbers.

Due to Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s refusal to see his state foot the bill for Biden’s open border policies, many are transported to so-called “sanctuary cities” such as New York, Chicago and Denver where they have their food, accomodation and healthcare paid for by the local taxpayers.

AOC Finally Buckles to Leftist Pressure, Accuses Israel of ‘Genocide’ in Gaza

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has finally accused Israel of committing a “genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza.

During a speech on the House floor on Friday, the New York representative accused the Biden administration of being compicit in “mass killing.”

“If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like, open your eyes,” she declared. “It looks like the forced famine of 1.1 million innocents. It looks like thousands of children eating grass as their bodies consume themselves, while trucks of food are slowed and halted just miles away.”

“[We] must fulfill our obligations to the American people to suspend the transfer of US weapons to the Israeli government in order to stop and prevent further atrocities,” she continued. “Honoring our alliances does not mean facilitating mass killing.”

Ocasio-Cortez had previously declined to explicitly use the word “genocide” to describe events in Gaza, unlike some of her other pro-Palestinian colleagues.

“The fact that this word is even in play, the fact that this word is even in our discourse, I think, demonstrates the mass inhumanity that Gazans are facing,” she said in an interview NBC last month.

“I think what we are seeing here is that the Netanyahu government has lost public support and that we have a responsibility to protect the human rights and the humanity of Gazans and hostages alike in the area.”

Ocasio-Cortez has come under increasing pressure by her supporters over recent months to step up her criticism of Israel’s war against Hamas.

Earlier this month, a group of anti-Israel activists ambushed her at a movie theater in Brooklyn with her fiancé Riley Roberts, causing her to flip out in anger.

The Biden administration, meanwhile, continues to provide lukewarm support to Israel. However, Biden has failed in his attempts to prevent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from proceeding with an invasion of Rafah, having previously described the matter as a “red line.”

NO THANKS: Michigan Offering Locals Measly $500 a Month to House Illegal Aliens

By: Ben Kew

The state of Michigan is offering locals a measly sum to house illegal aliens as it struggles with the pressure of the ongoing migrant invasion.

According to The Office of Global Michigan’s website, the government will offer homeowners a risible $500 a month if they agree to take in so-called refugees.

“The Newcomer Rental Subsidy program provides Refugees and other Newcomer population-eligible households with rental assistance up to $500 per month for up to 12 months, with eligibility based on immigration status and household income,” the website states.

Many refugees and other newcomers face critical housing challenges, and this program will increase access to better and more affordable housing opportunities while supporting a more rapid social integration to refugees and other newcomer populations to Michigan,” it continues. 

Last month, the Democratic-controlled state similarly asked residents to “sponsor” migrants through acts such as picking them up at the airport and helping them find work.

“Sponsors are expected to provide support to newly arrived refugees for 90 days through acts such as greeting refugee newcomers at the airport, securing and preparing initial housing, enrolling children in school and helping adults find employment,” the statement said.

Michigan is far from the only blue state asking for help from Americans to deal with the migrant invasion. Last August, the Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts, Kim Driscoll, pleaded with citizens to “step up if you’re willing to have an additional family be part of your family.”

“If you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family,” Driscoll told citizens. “Safe housing and shelter is our most pressing need.”

Meanwhile, deep blue cities across the country such as New York, Chicago and Denver are also at breaking point, as millions of people continue to illegally cross the border every year.

While many of them seek asylum under the guise of being a refugee, the majority are economic migrants simply looking to work in the United States. Many also have links to organized crime, with various gangs and drug cartels using the open border as an opportunity to expand their operations north of Mexico.

New York’s Shoplifting Epidemic Creating Shadow ‘Resale Economy’ as Businesses Lose Billions

By: Ben Kew

New York’s shoplifting epidemic is now so severe that a shadow “resale economy” has formed across online marketplaces.

According to a report from The New York Post, some of the city’s most notorious thieves are hawking products at a discount prices on services such as Facebook and eBay. Organized gangs are even providing their underlings “shopping lists” of the specific items they want stolen.

In some cases, thieves even stealing perishable items such as expensive ice cream before selling them on for profit to people at subway stations or local bodegas.

One law enforcement source told the Post:

They get shopping lists for items that include cellphones, power tools, handbags… They bring stolen goods to [illicit] wholesalers in the five boroughs.

Members of the booster crew get their cash. Then the dealer, if you will, distributes them through his own network, via storefronts, if he has them, or he puts them online and sells to consumers through Facebook Marketplace.

Last month, New York’s Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul touted her efforts to try and crack down on the issue, which is costing local businesses a staggering $4.4 billion every year.

Among her proposals included the creation of  a state police team to prosecute organized theft rings and greater surveillance systems for the resale of stolen goods.

“What we are focused on is what has become a sophisticated organized retail operation, the smash-and-grab efforts,” she said at the time. “They go in and swipe everything off the shelves.”

Shoplifting across New York City has skyrocketed in recent years, rising 64 percent between June 2019 and June 2023, according to the Council on Criminal Justice. This is above even the 61 percent jump seen in Los Angeles, where shoplifting is effectively decriminliazed.

Former Trump Defense Sec Says Liz Cheney, J6 Committee Threatened to ‘Make My Life Hell’ If He Contradicted Their Preferred Narrative

By: Ben Kew

Donald Trump’s former acting Secretary of Defense, Chris Miller, has revealed that he felt “threatened” by former Congresswoman Liz Cheney and other members of the January 6th Committee after he refused to endorse their version of events.

In an interview with Daily Mail, Miller said that he became “fearful” of the panel’s tactics after they tried to stop him making claims that ran contrary to their preferred narrative.

According to Miller, the panel were particularly upset by a Fox News interview he gave with Trump national security official Kash Patel in which he pointed out that the former president authorized the National Guard to step in quell the protests taking place in and around the Capitol.

“The two of us were on [the Fox News show] and the next day my lawyer got a call from the Jan. 6 staff director – I forgot exactly who it was – but basically saying, very legalistic: ‘Well, if your client has additional information he wants to share, we’d be happy to have him re-interviewed,'” Miller explained.

“It was more that latent threat of: ‘If you want to keep going on TV, we’re gonna drag you in here again for additional hours of hearing testimony.’ So that was the nature of that whole thing,'” he continued.

He also outlined his view that the Committee’s Vice Chair Liz Cheney was the person “running the show” and that she was concerned about the “optics” of his claims that Trump attempted to restore order.

Miller, who was appointed as acting Secretary of Defense in October after his precedessor refused to act on evidence of widespread election fraud, added that he had not wanted to publicly discuss his concerns until now.

“I didn’t talk about it with anybody else because of the fear or the concern,” he said. “I wasn’t communicating with anybody, because I knew any interactions I had on it would result in me having to… acknowledge that I’d been in communications with other people. And then that just sort of opens up a whole can of worms with the investigators that I just didn’t want to do.’

“It was much easier just to not be involved with anybody or talk to anybody about this stuff because it was going to cause conflict and difficulties with the investigating team,” he continued. “So I didn’t talk to other people, quite simply.”

It is far from the first time that the J6 Committee has proven to be a witchhunt against Donald Trump. In January, an explosive report from Fox News revealed how the panel had secretly deleted over 100 potentially critical pieces of evidence right before the GOP took over the House of Representatives in 2022.

CNN Admits Russian Concert Massacre ‘Very Embarrassing’ For Dementia Joe, Citing Resurgence of ISIS

By: Ben Kew

A CNN National Security analyst has admitted that if the Islamic State (ISIS) really were behind the deadly terror attack in Moscow on Friday night then that would be “very embarrassing” for Joe Biden.

More than 100 people have been confirmed dead following the attack at a Moscow concert hall on Friday evening in one of the deadliest attacks on Russia in decades. ISIS have claimed responsibility for the massacre.

According to CNN’s Peter Bergen, there are still questions as to whether ISIS really were behind the attack, although intelligence appears to indicate that they were:

Initially, when I saw this, I was a little skeptical, because, typically, if you’re an ISIS fighter, you don’t care about getting killed at the scene of the crime. You don’t — you’re not looking for a getaway, you’re looking to martyr yourself. So, in this case, it looks like the people did get away, according to the Russians. And that isn’t sort of typical for an ISIS-type attack.

However, the fact that it’s not just the Americans who had intelligence in their system about ISIS presence in Moscow, it turns out that the Russians did, too. Otherwise, why would Russian state television report on March 7 about a plan to attack a Moscow synagogue by ISIS? So, I don’t know. It isn’t absolutely typical of their M.O. But, certainly, ISIS has attacked concert venues in the past.

Bergen added that the key issue for Biden is where the terrorists were trained, particularly if it was in the now Taliban-controlled country of Afghanistan:

In, Paris, you recall in 2015, they killed 130 people, most — many of them were attending a concert. And, obviously, this work could well be — it could be just what it — as this group says. I’m still looking for evidence, and, hopefully, we’ll identify who these people are relatively quickly. Are they Tajiks? Are they Chechens? If they’re part of ISIS. Did they train in Afghanistan? That’s a very big question here.

Obviously, that would be very embarrassing for the Biden administration if it turned out that ISIS-K has sort of re-grouped to the extent that they can reach out to other countries [and] carry out major attacks at a time when they’re responsible for the withdrawal from — of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

Under the Trump administration, ISIS were completely obliterated by an aggressive and effective military campaign against targets in Afghanistan and across the Middle East. However, it appears they have managed to regroup in recent years, partially as a result of Joe Biden’s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Their reported resurgence elevates the risk of terror attacks across the U.S. and Europe, which had become commonplace before Trump took office in 2016.

COMMIEFORNIA: UC Berkeley Parents Hire Private Security to Protect Children From Violent Crime Surge

By: Ben Kew

Parents of students at University of California Berkeley have become so concerned about their offspring’s safety they have hired private security to secure the local vicinity.

SFGATE reports that parents were forced to take matters into their own hands amid a surge in violent crime around the UC Berkeley campus located outside of San Francisco:

Parents and community members of SafeBears, a nonprofit organization started in 2022, raised $40,000 at the end of 2023 to launch the pilot program, which started March 6 and concludes on Saturday, according to the group’s website.  Six security guards from Streetplus, a third-party contractor, are patrolling five routes around the campus and the university’s residence halls on foot and by bicycle from 6:30 p.m. to 3 a.m. daily.

The security guards are not armed and will not enter university property, the website says, but are trained in de-escalation and CPR. They also must earn a California “guard card” from the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, requiring them to clear a background check from the California Department of Justice and FBI.

While the program will not be continuing beyond this weekend, parents hope that they will be able to convince the university to take more action.

“While we will not be extending the length of our private safety pilot beyond March 23, we will certainly continue to push the administration at UC Berkeley to do more to protect students from violence,” Sagar Jethani, president of SafeBears, told SFGATE.

The move comes amid a surge in violent crime in the local area, which is notorious as one of the most left-wing places in the entire country.

According to the Berkeley Scanner, over the course of 2023 robberies increased by 29 percent, property crime by 58 percent and sex crimes remained around the same.

Despite its reputation as a left-wing breeding ground with a total disregard for freedom of speech, UC Berkeley remains one of the most prestigious universities in the English speaking world.

Among its most famous alumni include Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich.

TikTok Kids Flood Congress With Death Threats, Demand They Vote To Save Chinese Spy App

By: Ben Kew

Some of TikTok’s most enthusastic users have been sending threatening messages to lawmakers demanding they save the Chinese spy app.

According to U.S. Capitol Police, lawmakers are receiving an “uptick” in reports of “threats and concerning messages” from users of the app unhappy at the prospect of legislation that would ban the app from operating in the U.S. unless its parent company agrees to divest.

The Washington Post reported:

The exact abundance of such calls is unclear, but one Senate aide said their office has received roughly a dozen violent threats since TikTok began urging users to contact members of the chamber, while a House aide said their office has received multiple calls from people suggesting they will commit self-harm if Congress passes legislation targeting the app. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the nature of the outreach.

The law enforcement official said that the threatening calls appeared to be coming from a broad cross-section of people, not only younger users, as some officials have suggested. The rise in such concerning messages has been observed across both the House and the Senate, they said.

Among those to receive a threat include North Carolina Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, who recently released audio of what appeared to be a young person threatening to shoot him.

“TikTok’s misinformation campaign is pushing people to call their members of Congress, and callers like this who communicate threats against elected officials could be committing a federal crime,” Tillis wrote. “The Communist-Chinese aligned company is proving just how dangerous their current ownership is. Great work, TikTok.”

“Threats like this are unacceptable and we condemn this in the strongest possible terms,” TikTok spokesman Alex Haurek said in a statement. “Clearly, there are millions of Americans who want to and have the right to speak out against the ban bill that would trample Americans’ constitutional rights of free expression, but we must all do so in a respectful, civil manner.”

Although those behind the proposed legislation insist that it does not constitute a ban, ByteDance has already made it clear that it will not divest under any circumstances. TikTok has also made it clear that the bill represents an “outright ban of TikTok, no matter how much the authors try to disguise it,” and urged its users to pressure lawmakers into voting against it.

— TikTok Policy (@TikTokPolicy) March 5, 2024

While the legislation appears to have bipartisan support, some have also expressed skepticism. Among those are Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), both of whom have argued that the legislation could be used for ulterior purposes such as giving Joe Biden the authority to ban other apps without Congressional approval.
