New DC Gun Dealer Sees Business Boom After Overcoming City Roadblocks

/0 Comments/in , /by

A man who had to hire a lobbyist to help him navigate regulatory hurdles to become the first and only licensed Washington, D.C., gun dealer in nearly a year is now seeing business boom.

Shawn Poulin, the owner of D.C. Security Associates, located on K Street in Northwest, said he had to spend thousands of dollars on a lobbyist to help navigate the city’s complex rules and regulations on firearms businesses. “People told me, ‘Be prepared to deal with D.C. government, they’re as corrupt as anyone else,'” he said. “I had to get a lobbyist and I was getting friction from the permit zoning guys.”

Mayor Muriel Bowser (D.) and the police department did not respond to questions about Poulin’s difficulty in getting approval for his store.

After pushing through the roadblocks and being approved to open in January, Poulin said his store has seen between 15 and 20 handgun transfers per day. The transfer process that saw some residents caught in a weeks-long wait when the Metropolitan Police Department ran it has been dramatically reduced. Poulin said the store has managed to help customers through the transfer and registration process, which at one point took months, in under 10 days.

Liberal Celebrities Suffer Complete Meltdowns Over Trump’s Acquittal

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Senate voted to acquit former President Donald Trump on a charge of incitement of insurrection for the Capitol riot on Jan. 6. Liberal Hollywood celebrities suffered complete meltdowns over the results of the impeachment trial.

All of the Democratic senators and seven Republicans voted to convict Trump, resulting in a 57 to 43 vote, 10 short of the 67 votes needed to secure a conviction against Trump.

The hashtag #43Traitors trended on Twitter after Trump’s acquittal, which was full of rage toward the 43 Republicans who voted to acquit the former president. In the U.S., traitors who are convicted of treason are subject to “suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years.”

Twitter reactions by several left-wing celebrities labeled the 43 Republican lawmakers who voted to acquit as “traitors.”

DONALD TRUMP ACQUITTED, Pelosi Furious; Here’s His Full Statement; Murkowski Voted to Convict; Traitor McConnell Says Trump May Be Prosecuted

Trump Acquitted, Murkowski and Six Other RINO’s Voted to Convict

BY Zachary Steiber. Fifty-seven senators voted to convict Trump. A conviction requires a 67 vote supermajority. [See Donald Trump’s statement below]

All 43 senators who voted to acquit Trump are Republicans. All Democrats voted to convict him. Seven Republicans [including Alaska’s illegitimate Senator, Lisa Murkowski] joined the Democrats. . .

Democrats in the House served as impeachment managers, or de facto prosecutors, trying to convince the Senate to convict Trump on the charge [of incitement of insurrection].

“Senators, what greater offense could one commit then to incite a violent insurrection at our seat of government during the peaceful transfer of power?” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the lead impeachment manager, said during the trial. . .

Trump’s lawyers argued the trial was unconstitutional since the former president is a private citizen now and accused Democrats of showing selectively edited videos that omitted key evidence, such as Trump telling supporters on Jan. 6 to go to the Capitol “peacefully and patriotically.” (Read more from the story Donald Trump Acquitted HERE)

Pelosi Furious Over Result

By Allen Zhong. Pelosi made the remarks [about censuring Donald Trump] during a surprise visit to the House impeachment managers during a press conference after the Senate acquitted the former president.

She seemed furious about the result of the impeachment trials. She slapped on the table several times and criticized the senators who voted against the conviction as a “cowardly group of Republicans.”

Senator McConnell Says Trump ‘Didn’t Get Away With Anything,’ Can Still Be Criminally Prosecuted

By Christina Zhao. In a scathing floor speech, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Saturday warned former President Donald Trump that he “didn’t get away with anything,” after the Senate acquitted him a second time following a historic impeachment trial. . .

“There’s no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day,” he said on the Senate floor. “The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president. And having that belief was a foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories, and reckless hyperbole which the defeated president kept shouting into the largest megaphone on planet Earth.”

Former President Donald Trump’s Full Statement

I want to first thank my team of dedicated lawyers and others for their tireless work upholding justice and defending truth.

My deepest thanks as well to all of the United States Senators and Members of Congress who stood proudly for the Constitution we all revere and for the sacred legal principles at the heart of our country.

Our cherished Constitutional Republic was founded on the impartial rule of law, the indispensable safeguard for our liberties, our rights and our freedoms.

It is a sad commentary on our times that one political party in America is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law, defame law enforcement, cheer mobs, excuse rioters, and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance, and persecute, blacklist, cancel and suppress all people and viewpoints with whom or which they disagree. I always have, and always will, be a champion for the unwavering rule of law, the heroes of law enforcement, and the right of Americans to peacefully and honorably debate the issues of the day without malice and without hate.

This has been yet another phase of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our Country. No president has ever gone through anything like it, and it continues because our opponents cannot forget the almost 75 million people, the highest number ever for a sitting president, who voted for us just a few short months ago.

I also want to convey my gratitude to the millions of decent, hardworking, law-abiding, God-and-Country loving citizens who have bravely supported these important principles in these very difficult and challenging times.

Our historic, patriotic and beautiful movement to Make America Great Again has only just begun. In the months ahead I have much to share with you, and I look forward to continuing our incredible journey together to achieve American greatness for all of our people. There has never been anything like it!

We have so much work ahead of us, and soon we will emerge with a vision for a bright, radiant, and limitless American future.

Together there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

We remain one People, one family, and one glorious nation under God, and it’s our responsibility to preserve this magnificent inheritance for our children and for generations of Americans to come.

May God bless all of you, and may God forever bless the United States of America.

Dems’ Impeachment Team Presented Falsely ‘Verified’ Tweets at Trial; Trump Defense Shatters Democrat ‘Very Fine People’ Lie; Constitutional Scholar: Dems’ Impeachment Case Doomed From the Start

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By WND. It’s the third day of the second impeachment trial of former President Trump, but a liberal constitutional scholar says not only that the Democrats haven’t made a case for conviction, they were doomed from the start.

In a Fox News interview Thursday afternoon, Jonathan Turley, who testified in the first impeachment investigation one year ago, said the House “dug a pretty deep hole” in adopting the article of impeachment charging incitement of insurrection.

The Democrats have to make that case, he said, backed up by witnesses and evidence, and they haven’t. . .

“If reckless rhetoric is the standard, then the American public will have trouble distinguishing between the accused, the jurors and the prosecutors,” he said, referring to the inflammatory statements of many Democrats.

In this “snap impeachment,” the law professor said, the Democrats don’t have any witnesses. At one point, for example, they cited a senior aide who spoke to CNN under condition he not be named. But that’s not good enough in a trial, he said, and the Democrats had plenty of time to speak with that aide themselves.

Trump Defense Shatters Democrat ‘Very Fine People’ Lie

By WND. A defense attorney for President Trump in the Senate impeachment trial on Friday refuted the oft-repeated “Charlottesville lie” that Joe Biden says prompted him to run for president.

House impeachment managers played a selectively edited video of Trump’s 2017 remark on Thursday, claiming he referred to neo-Nazi rioters as “very fine people.”

But David Schoen was ready with the full video, which shows the left has been dishonestly manipulating Trump’s words to back their claim that he is a white supremacist.

“There’s that famous quote, like one of the house managers said, ‘A lie will travel halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its shoes on,'” Schoen began.

“Well, this lie traveled around the world a few times, and made its way into the Biden campaign talking points, and ended up on the Senate floor. The Charlottesville lie, ‘very fine people on both sides.’ Except that isn’t all he said, and they knew it then, and they know it now. Watch this.”

Dems’ Impeachment Team Presented Falsely ‘Verified’ Tweets at Trial

By Fox News. A senior impeachment aide said the inclusion of a fake blue check verification mark on tweets that were presented at the Senate trial was an accident.

The tweets showed comments from Jennifer Lynn Lawrence who was retweeted by former President Trump. The two tweets that were exhibited included blue check marks next to Lawrence’s name.

Blue checks show the user’s identity has been verified and also connote a certain status.

“The final graphic accidentally had a blue verification checkmark on it, but the substance of it was entirely accurate,” the aide said.

The aide added: “If anything, it is further evidence of President Trump’s attention to and knowledge of what was being openly planned on January 6 by his followers, even those without Twitter verifications.” (Read more from “Dems’ Impeachment Team Presented Falsely ‘Verified’ Tweets at Trial” HERE)

Jonathan Turley: Trump Impeachment – Lee-Raskin Exchange Reveals This Glaring Hole in the Case

By Fox News. At the end of its first day of argument, the Senate impeachment trial was thrown into chaos when a “juror” stood up like a scene out of Perry Mason to contest the veracity statements made by “prosecutors.”

That moment came as the Senate was preparing to end for the day. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, jumped to his feet to object that a quote by House manager Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., was false. Lee should know. They were purportedly his words.

After a frenzy on the floor and a delay of proceedings, lead House manager Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., announced that they would withdraw Cicilline’s statements and that “this is much ado about nothing, because it’s not critical in anyway to our case.”

In reality, it had much to do about the manager’s case and highlights a glaring problem in it.

The House has elected to try this case of incitement of insurrection largely on circumstantial evidence and using media reports rather than witness testimony. It is trial by innuendo and implication rather than direct evidence of what former President Donald Trump knew and intended on Jan. 6.

White House Aide Threatens Reporter, “I Will Destroy You,” Gets Suspended

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House deputy press secretary T.J. Ducklo has been suspended for a week without pay after he reportedly issued a sexist and profane threat to a journalist seeking to cover his relationship with another reporter.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement Friday that Ducklo had been suspended without pay with the approval of White House chief of staff Ron Klain. She said Ducklo “is the first to acknowledge this is not the standard of behavior set out” by President Joe Biden, and that Ducklo had sent the reporter in question “a personal note professing his profound regret.”

Ducklo’s personal life came under scrutiny earlier this week when Politico reported on his relationship with a reporter for the news outlet Axios who was assigned to cover the Biden campaign and its transition. Before Politico broke the story Tuesday, People Magazine published a glowing profile of the relationship. It was the first time either one had publicly acknowledged the relationship.

On Friday, Vanity Fair published a report citing two unnamed sources that Ducklo had threatened the Politico reporter to try to suppress the story, telling her “I will destroy you.” (Read more from “White House Aide Threatens Reporter, “I Will Destroy You,” Gets Suspended” HERE)

Biden Administration Sitting on $1 Trillion in Unspent COVID-19 Relief Funds

/0 Comments/in , /by

Before the Biden administration takes another $1.9 trillion out of the nation’s wallet for COVID-19 relief, fiscal hawks are urging the White House to first spent about $1 trillion in unspent previously approved virus money.

According to a Republican Study Committee tally, $4 trillion has already been appropriated for relief, and Biden’s plan would grow that 50%, an amount even GOP supporters of a big coronavirus package call too rich.

The government is sitting on about $1 trillion in unspent money. House leaders have asked the administration to identify that funding, but so far, the White House has refused.

“Unfortunately, the only ones who have those details are in the Biden administration, but they’re being tight-lipped,” said a GOP source.

WATCH: Joe Biden Openly Urged Violence Against Political Opponents

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .President Joe “Unity” Biden has a history of his own encouraging political violence against opponents, and the media remained virtually silent in what has become a routine double standard. Here are five examples of the now-president doing just that:

In 2018, Biden fantasized about hurting North Dakota Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer, who was then challenging a Democratic incumbent. . .

Biden made the same remark at a campaign event for the state’s Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, encouraging the president of a trade union in attendance to “show [Cramer] a threshold of pain.” . . .

In the fall of 2016, Biden said he wanted to take Trump “behind the gym.” . . .

In 2018, Biden doubled down on his 2016 remark, saying he wanted to take his future Republican opponent “behind the gym and beat the hell out of [Trump].”

Disney Fired Actress Over a Nazi Comparison but Has No Problem With Chinese Concentration Camps

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to the Walt Disney Company, making Holocaust analogies on social media is a fireable offense, but profiting off an ongoing modern-day genocide is A-OK. Disney-owned Lucasfilm fired “The Mandalorian” actress Gina Carano this week for posting a Nazi comparison on her Instagram.

“Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors … even by children,” Carano wrote. “Most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views.”

Lucasfilm told Variety Magazine that “her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.” Yet the actual ongoing rounding up of people based on cultural and religious identities, not just words about it, has yet to be denounced by Lucasfilm’s parent organization.

The Disney company has remained silent when called out for filming its live-action “Mulan” movie in the same region that the Chinese Communist government is holding at least 1 million Uighurs, members of ethnic minorities, in concentration camps, according to the U.S. State Department. Disney even went as far as thanking the CCP and their propaganda departments in the credits of the film.

Hunter Biden Still Owns Part of Chinese Business Operation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden continues to hold a 10% equity stake in a Chinese private equity firm 24 days into his father’s presidency, business records show.

Hunter Biden holds his stake in BHR Partners through his company, Skaneateles LLC, according to business records from China’s National Credit Information Publicity System.

President Joe Biden promised on multiple occasions during his presidential campaign that no one in his family would be engaged in foreign business if he won his election.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed last Friday that Hunter Biden still held a position in BHR and was in the process of divesting from the firm. . .

However, Hunter Biden’s lawyer George Mesires has not responded to numerous inquiries from the Daily Caller News Foundation asking when he expects to be divested from BHR and whether he will receive any return on his $420,000 initial investment in the firm.
