Rashida Tlaib’s Father Revealed Truth of Her Election Win in Resurfaced Article

/1 Comment/in , , /by

In a March 11, 2010 newspaper article in The Detroit News, Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D-MI) father accused her of lying “big-time to get elected” by falsifying her address on an election affidavit.

Tlaib’s father, Harbi Elabed, made the accusations against Tlaib, who at the time was a freshman state-level representative from the 12th District in Detroit’s Southwest side. The newspaper article was scrubbed from the internet when The Detroit News migrated to a new website but was available in a subscription-based digital archive. The Detroit News reported:

He said his daughter misrepresented her residency when she signed an election affidavit in 2008 with the Wayne County Clerk claiming she was a citizen of Detroit.

According to that affidavit, Tlaib claimed she lived at 9123 Rathbone in Detroit. That house is owned in part by her father, Harbi Elabed, and he now says she did not live there and he was only recently made aware that she had claimed so.

“She lied,” Elabed said. “She lied big-time to get elected. I never teach her that way. I teach her the right way. It’s my house. She didn’t live there. She lived in Dearborn in her house with her husband and boy.” (Read more from “Rashida Tlaib’s Father Revealed Truth of Her Election Win in Resurfaced Article” HERE)

Trump Sends ‘Clear and Unmistakable’ Message to Iran

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. The Trump administration is sending a carrier strike group and a bomber task force to the Middle East to send a “clear and unmistakable message” in response to “a number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings.”

“The deployment comes less than a month after the Trump administration designated Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization,” Fox News reported. “The deployment also comes amid the bloodiest fighting in five years between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip.”

“In response to a number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings, the United States is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the U.S. Central Command region to send a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force,” Bolton said. “The United States is not seeking war with the Iranian regime, but we are fully prepared to respond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or regular Iranian forces.”

Former Israeli national security adviser Yaakov Amidror said on Sunday that Iran was behind the increasing escalation in Gaza.

“What made Friday’s shooting on the IDF patrol interesting, Amidror said, was that it took place precisely when Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders were in Cairo putting the finishing touches on an agreement drawn up by Egypt that was designed to ease the tension in the South,” The Jerusalem Post reported. “But while its leaders were in Cairo, Islamic Jihad fired on the soldiers. At first, the organization tried to deny responsibility for the attack.” (Read more from “Trump Sends ‘Clear and Unmistakable’ Message to Iran” HERE)

Trump Sending Navy Strike Group to Middle East to Send ‘Message’ to Iran

By Washington Examiner. The United States is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the Middle East region in response to “troubling and escalatory indications and warnings” from the Iranian government. . .

The latest move continues to ratchet up tensions between Washington and Tehran. Last month, in a bid to put further pressure on the Iranian government, the Trump administration announced that it would stop providing waivers to countries that import Iranian oil. Also last month, the U.S. designated Iran’s Revolutionary Guard a foreign terrorist organization. Iran has since labeled the entire U.S. military as “terrorist.” (Read more from “Trump Sending Navy Strike Group to Middle East to Send ‘Message’ to Iran” HERE)

Nunes and Fox News Commentator Suggest That the Entire Trump-Russian Collusion Lie May Have Been Initiated by FBI or the CIA

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Representative Devin Nunes, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, was interviewed yesterday about the mysterious “Professor Joseph Mifsud”, a Maltese national who was the supposed catalyst to the Trump-Russian collusion probe. Since the collusion story broke, no one has seen Misfud publicly.

Apparently suspecting FBI or CIA involvement from the beginning, Nunes demanded that by May 10, the agencies disclose exactly who employed Mifsud and further requested all recordings of volunteer Trump advisor George Papadopoulos’ conversations with him:

“If the FBI does in fact have transcripts of Papadopoulos talking to anyone … I think Congress, and the American people, have a right to know this because in fact we paid for it, and we had to deal with this for two and a half years. We had to suffer through this,” he told Fox correspondent Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Papadopoulos has said that Misfud is who originally told him that the Russians had emails from Hillary that could damage her presidential campaign.

Nunes also hammered Mueller for “cherry-picking” information about Misfud and ignoring his obvious connections to U.S. intelligence agencies: “They pick a news story, and then they cherry-pick from it. So, they use it partly to describe where Mifsud worked. But then they fail to say in that same story that they have given support to by using it in the Mueller dossier. . . They cherry pick it and they don’t use that Mifsud was described as a Western intelligence asset. . . How is it that we spent $30-plus million on [the Mueller report] as taxpayers. Yeah. And they can’t even tell us who Joseph Mifsud is… we’re getting to the bottom of this.”

Democrat Accidentally Admits Why They’re Really Seeking to Impeach Trump — and It’s on Video

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. Allies of President Donald Trump are highlighting a statement from a Democratic member of Congress that they say reveals the true motivation behind the calls to have the president impeached.

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was defending his support for impeachment despite the practical political implications of such a controversial act by Congress, when he revealed the reasoning behind his advocacy.

“I’m concerned that if we don’t impeach this president, he will get re-elected,” said Green on MSNBC. “If we don’t impeach him, he will say he’s been vindicated.

“He will say the Democrats had an overwhelming majority in the House and didn’t take up impeachment,” he continued. “He will say we have a constitutional duty to do it if it was there and we didn’t. He will say he’s been vindicated.”

The comments made such a stir that the president responded from his Twitter account on Monday.

Julian Castro Renews Call for President’s Impeachment After Ex-Prosecutors Claim Trump Obstructed Justice

By Fox News. 2020 presidential candidate Julian Castro once again urged the House of Representatives on Monday to move forward with impeachment proceedings against President Trump.

Castro, a Democrat who served as mayor of San Antonio, Texas, before joining then-President Obama’s administration as Housing and Urban Development secretary, made his case hours after the release of a statement by hundreds of former federal prosecutors claiming Special Counsel Robert Mueller would have recommended indicting Trump for obstruction of justice if Trump weren’t president.

“The fact that you’d have almost 400 former federal prosecutors say that anybody else would have been charged with several felony counts for obstruction of justice, that says something,” Castro told Fox News on Monday.

WATCH: Cory Booker Refuses to Answer Crucial Question About Gun Control Plan

/0 Comments/in , /by

Second Amendment defenders took notice when Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) refused to answer a very important question about his plan to federally license all guns from law-abiding gun owners.

CNN’s Poppy Harlow asked the presidential candidate if he endorsed imprisoning gun-owners who didn’t comply with his plan quickly enough. . .

“Well first of all when I was a mayor of Newark, again, I have a record on dealing with gun violence. We did a lot of gun buy-backs and even other creative things I think we should have when I’m President of the United States,” Booker responded. “The critical thing is I think most Americans agree that these weapons of war should not be on our streets.”

“But, again, would you prosecute people?” Harlow pressed Booker. “Do you support the government buying them back and if not, potentially people could go to jail if they don’t want to sell them back? Yes or no?”

“Again, we should have a law that bans these weapons and we should have a reasonable period in which people can turn in these weapons,” Booker dodged.

Biden’s Grandson Asked Him About Internet Meme Accusing Him of Molesting a Child

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Vice President Joe Biden said his grandson asked him recently about an internet meme of him molesting a child at his son’s funeral. . .

“Pop it says: ‘Look at Biden molesting a kid,” Biden recalled about the meme, quoting his grandson. . .

The photo he was referring to was a cropped photo from the Associated Press of Biden clutching and speaking to Hunter at the 2015 funeral for his son Beau. The meme tries to capitalize on other photos on the Internet of Biden touching children and making them feel uncomfortable.

Biden said he relayed the story to show supporters that both he and his family were aware of how Trump could attack the Biden family during the 2020 election, but he spoke in detail about a conversation he had with his grandson Hunter.

Biden’s grandson Hunter is the son of Hunter Biden, who divorced his wife in 2007 and had an affair with his dead brother Beau Biden’s widow. The couple broke up, however, shortly after Biden announced his presidential campaign. (Read more from “Biden’s Grandson Asked Him About Internet Meme Accusing Him of Molesting a Child” HERE)

Biden Says Adult Granddaughter Told Him: ‘Mommy and Daddy Had a Divorce and They’re Going to Really Go After That’

By Washington Examiner. Joe Biden has said that President Trump will attack his family and that a grown-up granddaughter told him that the fact that “mommy and daddy had a divorce” would be exploited in the 2020 campaign.

“This guy [Trump] is going to go after me and my family,” Biden said a fundraiser in Columbia, S.C. on Saturday before telling a story about how his grandchildren implored him to run for president. “My generic point is they know how tough it’s going to be,” Biden said to the group of about three dozen attendees gathered in the home of Dick Harpootlian, a state senator and former South Carolina state chairman of the Democratic Party.

But it also appeared to be a warning that he considered his family to be off limits in the campaign, and that press coverage of the several women who have come forward to accuse him of touching women without their consent was hurtful to his grandchildren. . .

Hunter Biden, 49, and his wife Kathleen divorced in 2017 after it emerged that he had been having an affair with his sister-in-law Hallie after Beau’s death. Kathleen claimed in divorce papers, that Hunter had spent “extravagantly on his own interests (including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations), while leaving the family with no funds to pay legitimate bills.”

In 2014, Hunter Biden was discharged from the Navy Reserve after testing positive for cocaine during a drug test. He joined the military at the late age of 43, which required an age waiver, as well as one for a separate drug-related incident.

According to This Poll, Americans Really Aren’t Cool With Socialism

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Monmouth University poll released on Monday showed that only ten percent of Americans have a positive view of socialism.

The poll, broadly titled “SOCIALISM vs. CAPITALISM,” took a hard look at the sentiments of U.S. citizens regarding the rising popularity of Bernie Sanders-styled socialism in American politics. With few qualifiers, the results were clear: 57 percent of Americans said that socialism was incompatible with American values — only 29 percent believed otherwise.

As far as feelings toward socialism in general, the waters were only a little murkier: 42 percent had negative feelings toward it, 45 percent were neutral, and just ten percent had a positive view of this latest trend in progressive politics. However, their feelings toward capitalism were similarly lukewarm. Thirty-nine percent expressed a positive opinion of capitalism, 40 percent were neutral, and 17 percent were negative. . .

Another question specifically examining the subject of a “universal health care system” found that the idea is being disassociated with socialist philosophy. Fifty-eight percent of Americans expressed approval of the concept, and 53 percent asserted that it was not a socialist policy. The inconsistencies suggest to some that, while socialism remains stigmatized in America, its actual definition in the public eye may be evolving.

“We may be in a period of flux with how these economic systems are viewed,” said Monmouth’s Patrick Murray. “Socialism still carries a stigma, but many Americans feel they are being left behind by the current capitalist system. Policies that have traditionally been seen as socialist may be getting more popular even if the term itself is not.” (Read more from “According to This Poll, Americans Really Aren’t Cool With Socialism” HERE)

FLASHBACK: Biden Says He Spent All Summer Trying to Get Black Men to Wear Condoms, Praises Obama for Getting AIDS Test

/0 Comments/in , /by

A racially-charged clip of Biden from 2007 discussing condom use in the black community and AIDS testing has become the latest un-Woke clip of the former VP to come under scrutiny.

On a debate stage alongside Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama, Biden bragged about spending his entire summer trying to convince black men to wear condoms, scolded “the community” for being “in denial” about AIDS, and praised Obama for getting an AIDS test.

“As Hillary points out, there’s neglect in the part of the medical and the white community focusing on educating the minority community out there. I spent last summer going through the black sections of my town holding rallies in parks trying to get black men to understand it’s not unmanly to wear a condom, getting women to understand they can say no, getting people in the position where testing matters,” the Democrat said.

Biden then bragged about him and Obama getting tested for AIDS. . .

“I know Barack got tested for AIDS. There’s no shame in being tested for AIDS,” he added, gesturing to an uncomfortable looking Obama. “It’s an important thing.” (Read more from “FLASHBACK: Biden Says He Spent All Summer Trying to Get Black Men to Wear Condoms, Praises Obama for Getting AIDS Test” HERE)

Eric Swalwell’s New Take on Why Gun Owners ‘Hate’ Him Is Pathetic

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) made a name for himself after making comments about how he wanted to nuke gun owners that defended their right to keep and bear arms. Gun rights advocates have kept their eye on his gun control comments, especially as he attempts to woo voters during the 2020 presidential campaign.

Swalwell took to Twitter on Monday to, once again, voice his disdain for gun owners and, naturally, the National Rifle Association of America. . .

NRA Spokeswoman Dana Loesch told, pretty bluntly, that no one hates him. They’re simply uninterested in what he has to say.

The question for Swalwell: if you’re someone who shoots guns, does that mean your proposal includes nuking yourself? Or is that only for those who actually OWN a firearm, not just merely someone who shoots a gun? (Read more from “Eric Swalwell’s New Take on Why Gun Owners ‘Hate’ Him Is Pathetic” HERE)

NYT Finally Believes Trump, Urges Congress to Approve Border Budget Request

/0 Comments/in , /by

Everyone knows the old sayings about broken clocks and blind squirrels, but I’ll confess to being genuinely surprised by this one. The editors of the New York Times, one of the most reliably liberal mainstream publications in America, are no longer able to ignore or abide the ongoing chaos at the Southern border. In a new house editorial, they acknowledge reality and urge Congressional Democrats to get serious about the problem — including a call to fulfill the Trump administration’s latest budget request on this front:

The piece includes some throat clearing and shots at the president, but its overall message is at least somewhat constructive. And it’s a far cry from Democrats’ bogus “manufactured crisis” rhetoric of recent months:

President Trump is right: There is a crisis at the southern border. Just not the one he rants about…But as record numbers of Central American families flee violence and poverty in their homelands, they are overwhelming United States border systems, fueling a humanitarian crisis of overcrowding, disease and chaos. The Border Patrol is now averaging 1,200 daily arrests, with many migrants arriving exhausted and sick…On Wednesday, the White House sent Congress a request for $4.5 billion in emergency funding to help manage the surge. In a letter to lawmakers, the acting director of the White House’s budget office, Russell Vought, sought to convey the scope of the challenge. “In February, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encountered more than 76,000 illegal border crossers and inadmissible aliens, and in March that number exceeded 100,000 — the highest monthly level in more than a decade,” Mr. Vought wrote. He described what he said were “alarming numbers” of women and children jammed into Border Patrol stations never intended as long-term shelters.

Funding for vital services is not expected to last through the fiscal year, Mr. Vought said. Most urgently, the program that deals with unaccompanied minors is expected to run dry next month, requiring resources to be diverted from other programs and leading to a further deterioration in conditions…Nearly three-quarters of the funds, $3.3 billion, would be earmarked for humanitarian needs, with much of it flowing to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, the agency responsible for unaccompanied minors. None of the money would go toward Mr. Trump’s border wall. Several hundred million dollars would, however, go toward shoring up border security operations, including increasing the number of detention beds overseen by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. This, for Democrats, is a nonstarter…The Democratic chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee, Nita Lowey of New York, said that the administration was seeking billions of dollars to “double down on cruel and ill-conceived policies” and bail out ICE for locking up more migrant families than it could humanely accommodate. But until better policies are in place, Democrats need to find a way to provide money for adequate shelter.
