George W. Bush Maxes Out Political Donations to Trump Impeachment Supporters Liz Cheney and Lisa Murkowski

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President George W. Bush gave the maximum allowed political contributions to Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, two Republicans who supported impeaching former President Donald Trump over the January 6 Capitol riot.

New disclosures filed with the Federal Election Commission said Bush gave Cheney $5,800 on October 28 for both the general and primary elections. On December 31, he also gave Murkowski $2,900 for her primary. The FEC sets limits on political contributions.

Cheney, the daughter of Bush’s own vice president, Dick Cheney, and an outspoken Trump critic, now serves as the lead Republican on the House Select Committee investigating January 6. She’s set to face off against Harriet Hageman, a former RNC official who has been endorsed by Trump, in an August primary. Cheney has outraised Hageman by more than four to one — $2 million for Cheney versus $440,00 for Hageman — FEC disclosures showed. . .

Cheney was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over inciting an insurrection on January 6, while Murkowski was one of seven Republican senators who voted to convict him.

FEC records indicated that Bush didn’t make any other political contributions in 2021 before October. (Read more from “George W. Bush Maxes Out Political Donations to Trump Impeachment Supporters Liz Cheney and Lisa Murkowski” HERE)

State Moves to Make Ivermectin Available to Consumers

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has posted pages of detailed information online about “Why you should not use ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19.” . . .

That’s even though Dr. Theresa Lawrie, a U.K. medical doctor and research analyst who founded the British Ivermectin Recommendation Development initiative (BiRD International) suggested it has significant benefits against contracting, or dying from, COVID-19.

Now, a report confirms officials in one state are trying to make it easier for consumers to obtain, even though the FDA stands by its dire warnings.

The report said lawmakers in New Hampshire are working on legislation that would give consumers access to the treatment through ordinary procedures at a pharmacy.

House Bill 1022 would allow pharmacists to dispense the drug by means of standing orders, the report said. (Read more from “State Moves to Make Ivermectin Available to Consumers” HERE)

Biden’s Apathy Toward His Drug-Plagued Border Crisis Is Killing People

/0 Comments/in , /by

Drug overdoses in the U.S., many fentanyl-related, reached record highs in 2021 and are on track to cause more deaths in 2022 as President Joe Biden ignores his ongoing crisis at the southern border, which is responsible for a large portion of drug trafficking in the nation.

Biden and his team at the White House are intentionally ignoring the growing border crisis even though since the beginning of the 2021 calendar year, border officials arrested more than 2 million illegal aliens, often aided and funded by the United Nations, at the southern U.S. border. Already, Customs and Border Protection data indicates that apprehensions on the U.S.-Mexico border in the 2022 fiscal year will exceed 2 million.

Not only are illegal aliens pouring across the border in what is arguably the nation’s top humanitarian crisis, but so are lethal drugs such as fentanyl, which plays an increasing role in the number of drug-related deaths in the U.S.

In addition to creating national security problems, Biden’s open border policies have ushered in a public health crisis that is responsible for many of the 100,306 drug overdose deaths in the U.S. from April 2020 to April 2021. In South Texas ports of entry alone, CBP seized 588 pounds of fentanyl in fiscal year 2021, a 1,066 percent increase since FY2020.

Southern states, including states that border Mexico, reported a surging number of fentanyl-related hospital visits and deaths. Even states such as Kansas and Maine, which are hundreds to thousands of miles away from the U.S.-Mexico border, are grappling with record-high drug overdoses and fentanyl deaths as a result of smuggled drugs.

Former Trump Press Secretary Hands Over Texts to Jan. 6 Panel

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has provided text messages to the House Select Committee investigating last year’s deadly Capitol riot, according to a new report.

ABC News, citing a source familiar with the investigation, reported that the Trump-era spokeswoman turned over the texts to the committee after being subpoenaed for records and her testimony in November.

Some of McEnany’s text messages were quoted in a Jan. 20 letter sent to former President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka, asking her to cooperate with the probe. ABC reported that those messages came from documents handed in by the former press secretary.

The letter to the former first daughter from committee chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) quoted a Jan. 7, 2021 exchange between McEnany and Fox News host Sean Hannity in which the latter laid out what Thompson called a “five point approach for conversations with President Trump.”

“1 – no more stolen election talk,” Hannity wrote to McEnany, according to the letter. “2- Yes, impeachment and the 25th amendment are real and many people will quit…” (Read more from “Former Trump Press Secretary Hands Over Texts to Jan. 6 Panel” HERE)

AOC Retires From Twitter Over ’Anxiety’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) announced Monday evening on Instagram she is taking a break from Twitter after feeling “anxious” upon being caught maskless and catching the coronavirus.

Responding to a comment on social media that noted she had been absent from Twitter, Ocasio-Cortez admitted she turned off social media while she recovered from the Chinese virus.

“That’s so funny that you bring that up,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Yeah when I got covid I turned off all my devices, which means I wasn’t really on social media that much or anything like that.”

Ocasio-Cortez suggested after she recovered from the Chinese virus, she felt “anxious” about political opinions on Jack Dorsey’s platform.

“And I found that when I went to open Twitter up again, it just like wasn’t really making me…,” she said before the Instagram story frame ended. (Read more from “AOC Retires From Twitter Over ’Anxiety’” HERE)

A Former Playboy Bunny Says She Was Forced to Cover up the Alleged Abductions and Horrific Rapes of Young Women

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former Playboy Bunny said she was forced to cover up the alleged rapes and abductions of two “baby” Playboy Bunnies. . .

According to Masten, the newly-minted Bunnies (who she estimated to be around 20 and 21 years old at the time and did not name in the docuseries) were out dancing one night when they met “Soul Train” host Don Cornelius. (Per Masten, Cornelius was a “Playboy VIP gold member” and a regular at the LA club.) He then invited the young women to sit in his booth and have drinks with him and later invited them go back to his house for a party, she recalled. . .

“They didn’t have any fear at the time,” Masten recalled of the Bunnies’ reaction to Cornelius’ invitation. “Then these two young girls got in his Rolls-Royce and went up to his house. And we didn’t hear from them for three days.”

“These two young Bunnies were at Don Cornelius’ house and they were separated. One was locked in one room, and the other was in another room,” Masten continued, adding that the two sisters were “tied up and bound,” “sodomized” with “wooden objects,” and could hear one another being “brutalized” over the course of several days. . .

She also said that the “Playboy rules” prevented herself and other Playboy employees, with knowledge of the alleged incident, from calling the police after one of the abducted women was finally able to escape and make contact with another Bunny mother. Masten didn’t specify who at Playboy told her not to contact the authorities, or whether it was an actual formal policy at the company.

COVID-19-Infected HIV Patient Developed 21 Mutations: Study

/0 Comments/in , /by

A South African woman suffering from “poorly controlled” HIV who also had COVID-19 for nine months saw the CCP virus develop at least 21 mutations while in her body, a recent preprint study found.

The woman, 22, was able to overcome the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus which causes COVID-19, within six to nine weeks after she started taking anti-retroviral medication that is used to treat HIV, according to researchers at Stellenbosch and the University of KwaZulu-Natal.

They concluded that “increased vigilance is warranted” among HIV patients who contract COVID-19 to “prevent the emergence” of COVID-19 variants. Notably, the Omicron variant was first discovered in South Africa in November 2021, and U.S. health officials say it’s now the dominant strain across the United States.

“This case, like others before, describes a potential pathway for the emergence of novel variants,” the scientists said in the pre-print study, adding that it is still a hypothesis and much more data is needed. “Our experience reinforces previous reports that effective anti-retroviral treatment is the key to controlling such events.”

South Africa has the world’s largest HIV epidemic. About 8.2 million of out its 60 million population is infected with the virus. (Read more from “COVID-19-Infected HIV Patient Developed 21 Mutations: Study” HERE)

Durham Filing Rebuts Inspector General Horowitz’s Claims on Missing Cellphones, Hints at Growing Rift

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A supplemental court filing by special counsel John Durham confirms previous reporting that Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz concealed crucial information from Durham in connection with two separate investigations—the ongoing prosecution of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann and the criminal leak investigation of former FBI General Counsel James Baker.

The Jan. 28 filing by Durham updated the court on precisely when Durham first learned of two cellphones that had been used by Baker while he was with the FBI. The existence of these phones was first mentioned in a Jan. 25 filing, in which Durham claimed that the Inspector General’s Office (OIG) had failed to disclose its possession of two FBI cellphones belonging to Baker.

Following the Jan. 25 filing, Horowitz’s office apparently told Durham that the existence of one of the cellphones may have been mentioned on a conference call that took place four years ago.

“The OIG Special Agent had a conference call with members of the investigative team, including Mr. Durham, during which the cellphones likely were discussed,” reads the Jan. 28 court filing.

However, Durham states in the filing that he not only doesn’t recall the conference call, but also that he had no knowledge of Horowitz’s possession of Baker’s cellphones before being informed of their existence by a separate investigative team within the FBI on Jan. 6.

Christian School in Dallas Hosts Racially Segregated School Clubs

/0 Comments/in , /by

Documents obtained by The Federalist reveal that Parish Episcopal School, an elite private school in Dallas, Texas, hosted racially segregated school clubs and targeted a student who objected. One faculty member with power over school curriculum has also expressed extreme anti-cop and anti-white sentiments, and the school has ties to far-left organizations. . .

A flyer from the school explains the purpose and nature of the racially segregated student groups, called “affinity groups.” It notes that the groups are open to “all upper school students” before going on to insist the groups remained racially segregated, saying “we only ask that you respect that if you do not identify as the members of that group, please do not attend that meeting group.”

Affinity groups were hosted for a number of races and sexual behaviors, including for Hispanic and African American students, as well as for those who identify as LGBTQ+. An affinity group was also hosted for white students, and was labeled “White Allies for Racial Equity.”

Racially segregated school clubs are only one of the numerous outgrowths of the leftwing orthodoxy that dominates the school. (Read more from “Christian School in Dallas Hosts Racially Segregated School Clubs” HERE)

Teachers, Accountants and Priests: Ukraine Training a Civilian Army to Fend off Russian Invasion

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Ukrainian military is preparing civilians to fight off a potential Russian invasion.

Ukraine’s Territorial Defence Forces are made up of a civilian reserve army, including anyone from lawyers and teachers to nurses and priests, France24 reported Monday. The civilians are being trained with military rifles in skills like urban combat, marksmanship and explosives identification.

In Ukraine’s second-largest city Kharkiv, which is just around 20 miles from the Russian border to the north, civilians can attend training courses every Saturday. There are signs posted throughout the city advertising the opportunity. The military hopes to add 130,000 civilians to the Defence Forces, as President Vladimir Putin is positioning more than 100,000 of his Russian troops on Ukraine’s border, according to The New York Times.

“The worst thing for me would be to find myself holed up in a shelter without knowing what to do,” 36-year-old engineer Alexei Sus told France24. . .

“I am a nurse during the day and for me, it is an obligation as a health worker to join the Territorial Defence Forces. I want to use my professional experience to save as many people as possible if the situation gets out of hand,” a woman named Alisa told France24.
