Eric Holder Warns GOP Not to Mess With Mueller, Then a Benghazi Hero Steps in With a Message for Him

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former Attorney General Eric Holder received intense criticism for a Thursday tweet warning congressional Republicans against removing special counsel Robert Mueller, who is overseeing the investigation into Russian collusion in the 2016 presidential election.

“Speaking on behalf of the vast majority of the American people, Republicans in Congress be forewarned:any attempt to remove Bob Mueller will not be tolerated,” Holder wrote. “These are BS attacks on him/his staff that are blatantly political-designed to hide the real wrongdoing. Country not party.”

But one critic stood out above all the rest

“Weren’t you the only Attorney General in U.S. history to be held in contempt of congress??” asked Kris “Tanto” Paronto, a former Army Ranger and survivor of the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi, Libya.

“And you don’t speak for me or the vast majority of the American people you POS!!” he added. “Get back in your hole rat.”

Paronto helped fight off the terrorists who attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012.

But this time, he was referring to Holder’s role in a different Obama administration scandal — Operation Fast and Furious.

In 2010, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed by suspected illegal immigrants while patrolling the border in the Arizona desert. Guns used by the cartel-linked members were found to have been illegally purchased from the U.S. government.

Investigations by several congressional committees discovered appalling details about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ illegal gun sales to members of drug cartels in an effort to track the sellers and purchasers of firearms, according to CNN.

The congressional inquiries ultimately led to Holder being cited for criminal contempt in 2012.

Criticism of Mueller’s probe has intensified following revelations that two FBI officials who worked on Mueller’s team exchanged text messages expressing anti-Donald Trump sentiments during the 2016 election.

“We are now beginning to better understand the magnitude of this insider bias on Mr. Mueller’s team,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte said Wednesday during a committee hearing, according to NBC News.

“I think the public trust in this whole thing is gone,” said Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who chairs the House Freedom Caucus.

On Friday, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz called for Mueller to be fired.

“Congress has an obligation to expose what I believe is a corrupt investigation, and I call on my Republican colleagues to join me in firing Bob Mueller,” Gaetz told CNN. “It’s time for Mueller to put up or shut up. If there’s evidence of collusion with Russia, let’s see it.” (For more from the author of “Eric Holder Warns GOP Not to Mess With Mueller, Then a Benghazi Hero Steps in With a Message for Him” please click HERE)

Every Member of an Arizona Family of Four Identifies as Transgender

/0 Comments/in , /by

One Arizona family is garnering national attention for a very unique reason — every member identifies as transgender.

All four of them.

“It feels like you’re getting to live for the first time,” Daniel Harrott told KJZZ. “And my children are getting to be who they’ve always wanted to be.”

Harrott is a transgender father to two transgender children, Mason and Joshua.

Harrott, who had lived as a woman most of her life, says she realized she could come out as trans after seeing her two children identify as such.

Mason, age 11, was born a girl but now lives as a boy. 13-year-old Joshua, who was born a boy and uses a wheelchair to get around, now identifies as a girl.

Joshua claims he knew he was a girl even at a much younger age than he is now. “I think I was only, like 6 or 7,” he explained.

Harrott believes trangenderism has been in her family for 100 years, recalling that her grandmother’s sister was a cross-dresser.

The behavior frightened her grandmother to such a point that she made sure when she had a daughter — Harrott’s mother — would dress in a feminine manner.

“Of course my mother just gave that same lesson: ‘This is not OK. You must be a girl. This is who you were born to be,” she explains of her upbringing as a young woman.

Harrott waited for a time when she would feel comfortable in women’s clothing and makeup, but that time never came — not even when she married a man and gave birth to two kids.

However, things changed when Joshua, still identifying as a boy then, expressed a desire to join the Girl Scouts.

Harrott says this was when she was finally introduced to the term “transgender.”

“And when I finally looked it up, and I realized, ‘Oh my gosh, they’re trans, and I know it’s true — because I am, too, and it’s been my whole life,’” she said.

Not long after Joshua identified as a transgender girl, Mason came out as a transgender boy. Following in line after her kids, Harrott then began to cut her hair short and started shopping in the men’s clothing section.

“I opened my eyes, looked in that dressing room mirror and went, ‘Oh this is it. This is perfect. This is me,’” she stated.

The family grew larger after Harrott became engaged to Shirley Austin, a transgender woman who volunteered at a nonprofit organization that caters to parents of transgender youth.

Not long after meeting each other, Austin and Harrott became engaged.

“The whole family is in transition,” Austin said.

Harrott — now a transgender father to two transgender children and engaged to a transgender woman — describes the family as “very traditional.”

“I feel loved,” she explained. “I mean, I feel love for who I am, exactly how I am.”

However, many in the psychiatric community would agree this is a not healthy way to live, especially for young children.

Dr. Paul R. McHugh, a former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital, is now the hospital’s Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, according to CNS News.

McHugh calls transgenderism a “mental disorder” that requires treatment, arguing sex change is “biologically impossible” and that those who promote sexual reassignment surgery are enabling those who suffer from this disorder.

“This intensely felt sense of being transgendered constitutes a mental disorder in two respects,” the doctor explained. “The first is that the idea of sex misalignment is simply mistaken — it does not correspond with physical reality. The second is that it can lead to grim psychological outcomes.”

McHugh equates transgenderism to people who suffer from anorexia, believing they are overweight when in reality they are gravely thin. (For more from the author of “Every Member of an Arizona Family of Four Identifies as Transgender” please click HERE)

Trump: I’m Not Considering Firing Special Counsel Mueller

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said Sunday that he is not considering firing special counsel Robert Mueller even as his administration was again forced to grapple with the growing Russia probe that has shadowed the White House for much of his initial year in office.

Trump returned to the White House from Camp David and was asked if he was considering triggering the process to dismiss Mueller, who is investigating whether the president’s Republican campaign coordinated with Russian officials during last year’s election.

The president answered: “No, I’m not.” (Read more from “Trump: I’m Not Considering Firing Special Counsel Mueller” HERE)

Pro-Palestinian Activist, Women’s March Organizer Accused of Enabling Sexual Assault, Harassment in Workplace

/0 Comments/in , /by

Linda Sarsour, the Pro-Palestinian activist who helped spearhead the Women’s March in Washington earlier this year, allegedly enabled the sexual assault and harassment of a woman who worked for her, according to a report Sunday night.

Allegations of groping and unwanted touching were brought to the attention of Sarsour during her time as executive director of the Arab American Association, The Daily Caller reported.

Asmi Fathelbab told the website Sarsour attacked her for bringing the allegations, often threatening and body-shaming her, because the accused was a “good Muslim” who was “always at the mosque,” The Daily Caller reported.

“She oversaw an environment unsafe and abusive to women,” Fathelbab, a former employee at the Arab American Association, told The Daily Caller. “Women who put [Sarsour] on a pedestal for women’s rights and empowerment deserve to know how she really treats us.” . . .

Fathelbab told The Daily Caller that Sarsour threatened legal and professional damage if she went public with the sexual assault claims. (Read more from “Pro-Palestinian Activist, Women’s March Organizer Accused of Enabling Sexual Assault, Harassment in Workplace” HERE)

Cause of Billionaires’ ‘Suspicious’ Deaths Revealed

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Travis Fedschun. A Canadian billionaire and his wife whose bodies turned up in their Toronto mansion, in what police called “suspicious” deaths, died from ligature neck compression, Toronto law enforcement said Sunday, a development suggesting the couple was strangled.

Pharmaceuticals billionaire Barry Sherman, 75, founder of Apotex Inc., and his 70-year-old wife, Honey, were found dead in their north Toronto mansion on Friday.

Multiple Canadian media outlets reported that police initially were investigating the deaths as a possible murder-suicide, citing unidentified police sources. The bodies were found hanging from a railing on the edge of a basement swimming pool, The Globe and Mail, Toronto Sun, and CTV News reported, all citing police sources.

Investigators were working on the theory that Sherman killed his wife at some place in the mansion, hanged her body and then hanged himself at the pool’s edge. The Shermans recently put up their house for sale for $6.9 million ($5.4 million in U.S. dollars).

The immediate family in a statement released Saturday by Apotex admonished law enforcement sources for telling members of the media the deaths were from a murder-suicide before autopsy results were released, and slammed reports of a possible murder-suicide as “irresponsible.” (Read more from “Cause of Billionaires’ ‘Suspicious’ Deaths Revealed” HERE)

Millionaire Heir Found Guilty of Murdering Ex-Girlfriend, Burning Her Body in an Incinerator Called ‘the Eliminator’ to Satisfy Lover

By Christopher Carbone. A jury in Canada found two men guilty of first-degree murder in the death of a woman whose body was burned inside an animal incinerator that was called “the eliminator.”

Jurors in Ontario Superior Court needed less than four days to render a verdict in the bizarre case, finding Dellen Millard, 32, and Mark Smich, 30, guilty of first-degree murder in the death of 23-year-old Laura Babcock, reports CBC News.

The victim’s family and several jurors reportedly cried as the verdict was read.

Millard, the heir to a storied aviation company, owned a fleet of cars parked at an airport hangar — including a maroon, boat-sized Cadillac. He hosted pool parties where women outnumbered men by a 2-to-1 ratio and also owned a range of high-end properties.

Smich and Millard, already serving sentences in the murder of Tim Bosma, were automatically sentenced to life imprisonment without a chance of parole for 25 years in Babcock’s death.

Putin Thanks Trump for CIA Tip on Bombings

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russia’s Vladimir Putin called President Trump Sunday to thank him for U.S. intelligence that helped thwart terrorist attacks in St. Petersburg, officials in both countries said. It was their second phone call in four days.

The Kremlin said the CIA provided Russia with key information about a plot to bomb Kazan Cathedral and other places in St. Petersburg, allowing Russian police to arrest a group of suspects in raids on Friday.

The Russian president expressed gratitude for the CIA cooperation and assured Trump that Russia would continue to provide the U.S. with similar information, the Kremlin said.

Trump told Putin that he was pleased that the intelligence saved so many lives, and later called CIA Director Mike Pompeo “to congratulate him, his very talented people, and the entire intelligence community on a job well done,” the White House said.

The White House summary of the call also emphasized agreement that the intelligence cooperation was “an example of the positive things that can occur when our countries work together.” (Read more from “Putin Thanks Trump for CIA Tip on Bombings” HERE)

Suicide Bombers Attack Christian Church

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two suicide bombers attacked a church in Pakistan where hundreds of worshippers were attending service ahead of Christmas, killing at least nine people and injuring dozens of others, officials said.

One of the suicide bombers was shot dead outside Bethel Memorial Methodist Church in Quetta, but the other assailant made it to the church’s entrance hall as Sunday services opened, said Sarfaraz Bugti, home minister for the southwestern Baluchistan province. The gunman — who didn’t gain access to the main building — opened fire at the churchgoers before detonating his explosive vest.

“There were nearly 400 people inside the church, but the attackers couldn’t get inside the services,” provincial police chief Moazzam Jah told Reuters. “We killed one of them, and the other one exploded himself after police wounded him,” he said.

The Islamic State group later claimed responsibility for the attack on their Aamaq news agency, saying two “plungers” from their group had stormed the church, without providing further details.

The death toll in the deadly attack rose to nine people, including two women, by Sunday afternoon. Five women and two children were among the 57 people hurt. Seven people were listed in critical condition, said Wasim Baig, a spokesman for Quetta’s main hospital. (Read more from “Suicide Bombers Attack Christian Church” HERE)

Iran Seeks ‘New World Order’ on ‘Ruins’ of West

/0 Comments/in , /by

The prime objective of Iran’s mullah-led regime is to export its Islamic revolution worldwide to build a new Shiite “world order” on the “ruins” of Western civilization, declared a columnist for a daily paper affiliated with the country’s religious leadership, reports Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin..

“Iran will, in the future, become one of the poles of the world,” wrote Abdollah Motevalian in a recent column in the daily newspaper Javan.

The paper is “affiliated with the country’s ideological camp,” according to the Middle East Media Research Institute, which monitors and analyzes media in the region.

The writer cited a list of principles that provide the foundation for the Islamic revolution’s objectives.

“Identifying the enemy; believing in the need for fighting the enemy; a revolutionary discourse; a fighting strategy; persistence in fighting, with no hiatus; jihadi spirit; a plan for the fighting; tirelessness; making it a people’s war and leveraging all the human potential in the country.” (Read more from “Iran Seeks ‘New World Order’ on ‘Ruins’ of West” HERE)

How Feds Shut Down Christian Health Care Provider

/0 Comments/in , /by

The mission of the health non-profit Daniel Chapter One was simple. Using biblical principles, Jim and Patricia Feijo created a series of products enthusiastically endorsed by customers who claimed it soothed their ailments.

Yet that was enough for the Food and Drug Administration and the Internal Revenue Service to launch an aggressive raid, complete with screaming and drawn guns, to shut down the ministry . . .

What was behind the attack? Nothing less than the Trilateral Commission itself, in the form of the Trilateral Cooperation Charter, which aimed to harmonize America’s food and drug regulations with Canada and Mexico . . .

The letter from the government instructed Daniel Chapter One to send a letter to all their customers, with no accompanying material, that would state “only conventional cancer treatment has been proven safe and effective in humans.” . . .

Patricia Feijo believes the remarkable campaign of persecution by the federal government was launched because Daniel Chapter One posed a threat to the “corruption” of the medical establishment. She also slammed the “slanderous” media coverage that resulted from the case and the cowardice of other natural health companies that refused to stand with Daniel Chapter One.

Roy Moore Accuser Reveals Her Plans for the Senate Candidate Following Election Loss

/0 Comments/in , /by

After the defeat of Roy Moore on Tuesday to Doug Jones for the Alabama Senate seat, one voice in particular is speaking out about what she feels is the next step for the disgraced candidate.

Beverly Young Nelson, a woman who has accused Moore of sexual assaulting her when she was only a teenager and he was in his 30s, recently suggested the allegations still need to be investigated.

“I feel like my story may have played a part in this,” Nelson told CNN, referencing Moore’s loss in the race. “But I also believe that it was the other victims as well that also helped, you know, with all this.”

“I feel like it was just not me,” she added. “It was all of us.”

As reported by The Western Journal, Moore was first accused of inappropriate behavior by Leigh Corfman, stating the alleged unwanted advances happened when she was only 14 and he was 32.

Since Corfman’s story, numerous women — including Nelson — have accused Moore of unwanted advances.

Moore has vehemently denied all accusations against him.

According to Time Magazine, Nelson backed up her claim using the women’s’ stories while suggestively calling out the rumors that she had accused Moore on the grounds of ruining his run for Senate.

“I’m very excited over that because, you know, there’s no reason for me to go and lie on television when this was, you know, the truth from day one,” Nelson said.

Earlier this month, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell stated that, should Moore win, the Alabama politician would face an ethics investigation.

It’s an investigation Nelson claims she won’t back down from demanding.

“I intend on still pursuing it,” Nelson said. “I’m not giving up.”

The highly publicized election was held earlier this week and resulted in Moore losing to Jones, with Jones becoming the first Democratic senator to represent the state of Alabama in nearly two decades.

The win has raised concerns among conservative groups that Jones could potentially pose as an obstacle for Republican lawmakers in their attempt to pass tax reform and numerous other bills.

The result of Jones’ victory also means that Republicans control the House of Delegates by a slim 51-49, leaving little room within the party for defection on a bill.

However, until Alabama’s Secretary of State John Merrill certifies the win sometime between Dec. 26 and Jan. 3, Jones cannot be seated.

The Senate has yet to set an official date for Jones’ swearing in. (For more from the author of “Roy Moore Accuser Reveals Her Plans for the Senate Candidate Following Election Loss” please click HERE)
