Vegas Shooter Stephen Paddock’s Girlfriend Lives in Lavish LA Home

/0 Comments/in , /by

Nearly two years after Stephen Paddock committed the worst mass shooting in modern American history in Las Vegas, and then killed himself, his girlfriend Marilou Danley reportedly lives in a lavish Los Angeles home. As the Daily Mail has reported via Australia’s The Courier Mail, Danley recently told a journalist twice that she’s “in peace right now” in her life. Then she quietly got into an SUV driven by her daughter and headed back to her home, which is worth $3.4 million in Australia money, or about $2.29 million in U.S. dollars.

According to the publications, the luxury house is in an exclusive Los Angeles neighborhood and is owned by her daughter and son-in-law. Dual-Australian citizen Danley dated Paddock, 64, for four years before he opened fire on more than 20,000 country music fans from his hotel suite in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017. The horrifying crime ended with 58 people dead and 851 injured. Paddock killed himself in his hotel room by shooting himself. Surviving victims and families of the deceased will mark the sad anniversary this Tuesday. Many questions still remain about the shooting and haters don’t accept the official conclusions.

Danley, who had moved from Australia to Nevada after the death of her first husband, was visiting family in the Philippines when Paddock attacked the country music festival from the Mandalay Bay. He had allegedly purchased a plane ticket and given her $150,000 as a gift in the weeks prior to the shooting. Former Reno casino worker Danley returned to the U.S. after the shooting and cooperated fully with investigators. She told them that Paddock had complained that he was sick and that doctors told him he had a “chemical imbalance” and could not cure him.

Danley claimed their relationship was on its last legs at the time of his heinous crime. She said he’d lost interest in sex and was “unable to perform.” However, he’d reportedly slept with prostitutes, as a source told RadarOnline.com. The insider said he made Danley “jittery” and was very “condescending” to her before the massacre.

The new report said Danley now regularly attends Sunday service at a local Catholic church and gets coffee at an L.A. Starbucks cafe. Danley previously went to the Starbucks inside the Virgin River Casino in Mesquite with her beau, where a store worker reportedly said, “He would glare down at her and say, ‘I’m paying for your drink, just like I’m paying for you.’” (Read more from “Vegas Shooter Stephen Paddock’s Girlfriend Lives in Lavish LA Home” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A body of a woman was discovered inside a portable toilet that caught fire and exploded early Saturday at a construction site in north Florida, according to officials.

The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office said on Facebook that authorities responded to the home on North Horseshoe Road in St. Augustine on a report of a porta-potty fire, and discovered human remains inside.

“Regarding today’s discovery of human remains contained within a portable toilet, detectives believe the decedent is a white female,” the sheriff’s office said. “At this time, we have not received any missing persons reports that may coincide with this incident.”

Neighbors told WFOX they heard a loud explosion around 7 a.m., then saw the portable toilet on fire in front of a home under construction in the neighborhood. . .

St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Chuck Mulligan told the Florida Times-Union the victim was too badly burned for immediate identification, and an autopsy is scheduled for Monday at the Medical Examiner’s Office.

WATCH: Democrat Megadonor Michael Bloomberg Repeatedly Defends China’s Communist Party

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a billionaire and Democrat megadonor, was called out during an interview that aired on Friday on PBS’s “Firing Line” for repeatedly praising the Communist Party of China (CPC).

Bloomberg’s remarks came in response to a question from Margaret Hoover about climate change and how the United States can get India and China to be more responsible in reducing carbon emissions.

“China is doing a lot, India is doing some, but I think China is doing a lot,” Bloomberg responded. “Yes, they’re still building a lot of coal-fired power plants … but they’re now moving plants away from the cities.”

“The Communist Party wants to stay in power in China and they listen to the public,” Bloomberg continued. “When the public says ‘I can’t breathe the air,’ Xi Jinping is not a dictator, he has to satisfy his constituents or he’s not going to survive.” . . .

Hoover, however, did not let Bloomberg off the hook about his comments on the CPC being responsive to the people of China, saying, “the idea that the Chinese government is responsive to sort of a Democratic expression of fresh air, clean air … ”

Nancy Pelosi Has Fast-Tracked Impeachment. Here Is What That Means.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced late last week that she plans on “fast-tracking” an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, stemming from allegations that Trump demanded information about Joe Biden’s son from Ukrainian authorities.

USA Today reports that although Congress can’t officially “fast-track” an impeachment inquiry, House leaders can move as quickly as possible to get the inquiry on the calendar, and that’s precisely what Pelosi and her team intend to do.

So far, Democrats have had difficulty transitioning the evidence they’ve been provided into an open-and-shut case, but that’s not stopping a select House panel from scheduling depositions, even though Congress leaves this week for a two-week vacation ahead of the final session of the year. USA Today suggests that some in the Democratic leadership want articles of impeachment on the table by Thanksgiving so that the ensuing hearings have the greatest impact possible on the 2020 presidential election cycle (even if it looks like Democrats on the trail won’t benefit).

The impeachment inquiry is, at least, taking priority over the dozens of other investigation currently being pursued by various House committees. Any research being done into Donald Trump’s potential violations of the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, questions about his campaign’s ties to Russian officials, or probes into whether the White House obstructed justice during Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation (or any other of a handful of Democratic deep dives) will now take a backseat to the Ukrainian issue, since that’s the issue du jour.

“The plan for now, according to lawmakers, is to prioritize the Ukraine investigation, which is being led by the House Intelligence Committee, while other panels wrap up their probes and send their best cases to the House Judiciary Committee,” USA Today reports.

State Department Ramps up Investigation Into Hillary’s Emails

/0 Comments/in , /by

The State Department has reportedly ramped up its investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server, an issue that took center stage during the 2016 presidential election.

According to the Washington Post, the State Department has called in 130 officials who had access to Clinton’s email inbox. The officials ranged from low-level employees to senior officials who reported directly to Clinton. Former aides were sent letters letting them know that their emails were retroactively deemed “classified” and sharing that information could be deemed a security violation.

The investigation began 18 months ago, fizzled out and then was picked back up in August. Senior officials at the Department say they have followed standard protocol. Because the investigation began in the later days of the Obama administration, it is just now coming to an end. . .

“This has nothing to do with who is in the White House,” an anonymous senior State Department official told the Post. “This is about the time it took to go through millions of emails, which is about 3½ years.”

“The process is set up in a manner to completely avoid any appearance of political bias,” a second official told the Post. (Read more from “State Department Ramps up Investigation Into Hillary’s Emails” HERE)

Three Jewish Supreme Court Justices and Their Liberal Impact on American Law

/0 Comments/in , /by

Like most of the US Jewish community, all three of the US Supreme Court’s Jewish justices are on the liberal side. But agree or disagree with their decisions, they each have their own unique character and image that have put a powerful stamp on US Jewry and Israel. . .

In 2018, [Ruth Bader Ginsberg] came to Israel to receive the inaugural Genesis Lifetime Achievement Award, initiating a year of The Genesis Prize Foundation’s (GPF) philanthropy dedicated to women’s empowerment. An outspoken advocate for gender equality, she was selected to receive the award “for her groundbreaking legal work in the fields of civil liberties and women’s rights,” and her vision to “open doors to women” inspired GPF to make grants to organizations in Israel and North America promoting socio-economic opportunities for women. . .

[Justice] Breyer has talked about his Jewish identity publicly many times over the years, usually emphasizing a commitment to social Jewish values, and appears to identify as being more traditional than some other Jewish justices. . .

In her near decade on the US Supreme Court, Justice Elena Kagan has become more of a leading force for the court’s liberal wing. . .[She once quoted] Moses Seixas of Newport, Rhode Island, who thanked Washington in 1790 with “a deep sense of gratitude” for the new government [and stated] that the US has “a government, which to bigotry gives no sanction, to persecution no assistance – but generously affording to all liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship: deeming every one, of whatever nation, tongue, or language, equal parts of the great governmental machine.”

[This] quote explained the significance of the government not showing preference to a specific religion in a 5-4 dissent against a decision by the court regarding separation between “church and state,” which allowed a primarily Christian town to hold prayers at the start of its meetings.

Former PM: Ukraine Must Investigate Joe Biden’s Son; Unearthed Documents Reveal Details That Contradict What Biden Said About His Dealings in Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Ukraine must investigate the activities of Joe Biden’s son to establish whether his role in a Ukrainian gas company complied with the country’s laws, Mykola Azarov, Ukraine’s former prime minister, said in an interview.

Hunter Biden’s role in the company, Burisma Holdings Limited, is in focus after the White House published a memo showing U.S. President Donald Trump asked his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy in a July phone call to get prosecutors to look into his activities. Zelenskiy agreed.

Joe Biden, former U.S. vice president and a contender in next year’s U.S. presidential race, has denied using his influence to get Ukraine’s prosecutor general fired to prevent him investigating his son’s involvement and has said that he and his son have done nothing wrong.

Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau said on Friday it was investigating activity at Burisma between 2010-2012, but that it was not looking into changes to its board in 2014 when Hunter Biden joined.

Hunter Biden was a director on Burisma’s board from 2014 until at least 2018, according to documents filed by the company in Cyprus where it is registered. (Read more from “Former PM: Ukraine Must Investigate Joe Biden’s Son” HERE)

Unearthed Documents Reveal Details That Contradict What Biden Said About His Dealings in Ukraine

By The Blaze. John Solomon, an executive president at The Hill, called into question the version of events that former Vice President Joe Biden has been repeating regarding his interactions with Ukraine while he was vice president. . .

While Biden has admitted that he urged then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, but that it had nothing to do with his son or Burisma Holdings.

In response to questions about whether his foreign policy benefited his son, Biden insisted that he had “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” and said that reporters “should be looking at Trump” instead. . .

Through interviews and reviewing documents, Solomon said, he found proof that lawyers for Burisma had approached the Ukrainian government shortly after Shokin’s firing to apologize “for dissemination of false information by U.S. representatives and public figures.”

Solomon also pointed to a 2015 New York Times story, which noted that Burisma hired Hunter Biden less than a month after former-President Barack Obama appointed Joe Biden to be in charge of the United States’ relationship with Ukraine.

Nothing to See Here: Public Radio, TV Networks Ignore Adam Schiff’s Fake Quotes From Trump Transcript

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Thursday, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) fabricated quotes from the transcript of President Donald Trump’s July 25 call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, the call at the center of Democrats’ impeachment inquiry. His quotes misrepresented the transcript, making it seem more damaging for Trump. When called out on it, he hilariously claimed that his remarks were just a parody. It seems the big three broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) thought these fake quotes weren’t a story, and when NPR and PBS interviewed Schiff, they didn’t ask one question about it.

Schiff started his “parody” by saying “this is the essence of what the president communicates: We’ve been very good to your country, very good. No other country has done as much as we have. But you know what? I don’t see much reciprocity here. I hear what you want, I have a favor I want from you, though. And I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good.”

“I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand, lots of it, on this and on that. I’m going to put you in touch with people, not just any people, I’m going to put you in touch the attorney general of the United States, my attorney general, Bill Barr,” Schiff continued, supposedly not acting as if he were quoting the president. “And I’m going to put you in touch with Rudy, you’re going to love him, trust me. … And by the way, don’t call me again. I’ll call you when you’ve done what I asked.” . . .

As NewsBusters’ Nicholas Fondacaro reported, ABC, CBS, and NBC ignored the story, but Fox News’ The Story with Martha MacCallum covered it. MacCallum began the segment by noting that Schiff had taken “creative liberty” with the transcript: “Rather than reading from the transcript as it exists, and we all now have in the open of the president’s phone call with the Ukrainian President Zelensky, he parried it in a sort of free-verse improv.” (Read more from “Nothing to See Here: Public Radio, TV Networks Ignore Adam Schiff’s Fake Quotes From Trump Transcript” HERE)

Study: Transgender Athletes Have Advantages in Women’s Sports

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A recent study has shown that biological males identifying as transgender women, still retained considerable advantages over biological females in strength and muscle mass, even after a full year of hormone therapy.

The study, conducted by the the Karolinska Institute — a medical university in Sweden — and Linkoping University, a university in Sweden, showed that the biological males (transgender women) who took a full year of hormone therapy, still had muscle mass and strength advantages.

The researchers posted their conclusion: “Despite the robust increases in muscle mass and strength in TM, the TW were still stronger and had more muscle mass following 12months of treatment. These findings add new knowledge that could be relevant when evaluating transwomen’s eligibility to compete in the women’s category of athletic competitions.” . . .

The results of the study, which are still undergoing the peer review process, will prove crucial for the burgeoning movement to protect the rights of biological females in women’s sports. It also will pose new problems for the NCAA, who currently requires biological males to undergo a full year of hormone therapy prior to competing in women’s sports.

However, since the study shows that those biological males will retain considerable strength advantages over women despite the full year of hormone therapy, female athletes will have grounds to file a Title IX discrimination complaint to protest the inclusion of transgender women in their sports.

WALL STREET WARNS DEMS: No Donations If You Nominate Warren

/0 Comments/in , /by

Wall Street and the DNC have been in bed together like a couple of newlyweds for years now, but the honeymoon might finally end if Senator Elizabeth Warren takes the presidential nomination next year.

CNBC’s Brian Schwartz reports that “several high-dollar Democratic donors and fundraisers in the business community” plan to “sit out the presidential campaign fundraising cycle” should Warren sit — must… resist… urge… to… make… sit Indian-style joke — at the top of the ticket. A private equity executive who wishes to remain anonymous told the network, “You’re in a box because you’re a Democrat and you’re thinking, ‘I want to help the party, but she’s going to hurt me, so I’m going to help President Trump’.”

Warren’s proposed “wealth tax,” while of dubious constitutionality, threatens to place a 2% tax on the wealth — not earnings — of households worth $50 million or more. That’s a lot of Wall Street people, it’s safe to say.

“Democratic” socialist candidate Bernie Sanders promises an even bigger wealth tax, with a 1% levy on households worth more than $32 million, going all the way up to 8% for fortunes over $10 billion. So far Wall Street doesn’t feel as threatened by the prospect of a Bernie candidacy, but with frontrunner Joe Biden sinking in poll after poll, who knows what might happen as the voting starts in Iowa next February. . .

The bind for Democrats is: Nominate the next strongest candidate to Flailin’ Joe, or risk defections in the wealthiest segment of their donor and fundraising base. It would also be more difficult than ever to paint Trump as reckless/evil/stupid/insert-the-daily-pejorative-here, if after four years in office he were to suddenly gain the support of some big-name, big-money Dems.
