Why an Election Commissioner in Texas’ Largest County Just Resigned

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .[A]n election commissioner in Harris County, Texas has resigned for not counting some 10,000 ballots. When this oversight was discovered, Ms. Isabel Longoria decided to call it quits. This comes after the secretary of state office found that 12,000 non-citizens were able to cast ballots in the recent elections (via Just The News):

The elections commissioner in Texas’ largest county has resigned after revelations that 10,000 ballots were not counted in the Houston area in last week’s primary election.

“The buck stops with me to address issues for voters, and I did not meet my own standard or the standard set by commissioners,” Harris County Elections Commissioner Isabel Longoria said Tuesday in announcing her resignation during a meeting of the county commission.

Longoria said her resignation would take effect July 1 to ensure “there is a presiding officer during the May and June elections and allows the election commission the time they need to find a replacement. I remain committed to the office and its mission and hope to aid in defeating harmful rhetoric to ensure successful elections in the future.”

[…]

The revelations about the uncounted votes comes just weeks after the Texas secretary of state finished an audit that found nearly 12,000 foreigners had made it into the state’s voter rolls. Non-citizens are forbidden from voting in Texas.

Disgusting: Activists Hosting ‘Sex-Ed Summer Camp’ for Children as Young as 7-Years-Old

/0 Comments/in , /by

A disturbing series of Twitter threads have been circulating lately, highlighting the efforts so-called sex educators will go through to groom children. We’re not merely talking about teenagers here, either, but preteens and younger. Ashley Robertson is looking to charge parents $250 to teach their children in third-fifth grade about sex with an emphasis on “Affirming, non-binary, body-positive, social emotional learning through play!” Though the event page for Eventbrite has since been removed, archived versions and screenshots remain, and as of Wednesday evening, it is still available on All Events Indiana’s web page.

The event runs from June 6-10, from 8am-5pm, amounting to 36 hours of activity and discussions at a “sex-ed summer camp.”

In addition to being charged $250, parents will also be out of that fee should they not attend the orientation on May 28. With original emphasis, the All Events Indiana’s page notes the following about the orientation:

All families participating must attend an orientation May 28th at 10am where we’ll sign behavior agreements, enrollment paperwork, and waivers. If you do not attend, you will not be refunded and your child will not be able to attend camp. Mark your calendars now for ORIENTATION. It is important that trust and complete understanding be established for us to teach this content.

Twitter Suspends Account That Shared Video Reportedly Exposing NYT Reporter (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twitter suspended an account that reportedly exposed a New York Times (NYT) reporter slamming his colleagues for their reaction to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

The account, @UnmaskNYT, was suspended as of Wednesday after it posted a video from Project Veritas appearing to show NYT reporter Matthew Rosenberg calling his younger colleagues “f*cking bitches” for “going on about their trauma.”

The video remains on Youtube and several tweets linking to the video remain active on Twitter, as of Wednesday afternoon.

The Daily Caller has reached out to Twitter regarding the suspension but did not receive a response at the time of publication.

In the video, Rosenberg, who is a national security correspondent for NTY, appears to claim “there were a ton of FBI informants amongst the people who attacked the capitol.” (Read more from “Twitter Suspends Account That Shared Video Reportedly Exposing NYT Reporter (VIDEO)” HERE)

Drag Queen Scheduled to Perform at House Democrats’ Retreat Called Biden ‘Senile’

/0 Comments/in , /by

During the House Democrats’ retreat this week, a Wednesday night reception hosted by Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair Sean Patrick Maloney will include “musical entertainment by Lady Bunny,” according to a copy of the Issues Conference schedule posted by the Daily Caller.

“While her mind may be in the gutter, Lady Bunny’s quick-witted humor is authentic, smart, irreverent, and topical,” a portion of the biography on ladbybunny.net states. “In her disarming honeyed drawl, she astutely skewers political correctness, calls out gentrification outrage, spit-roasts politicians, taunts vaunted celebrities, and schools audiences on the unique legacy of New York City drag.”

The drag performer — whose birth name is Jon Ingle, according to the New York Times — identifies as a “staunch progressive” but has previously been openly critical of Democrats, including President Joe Biden.

“Biden is senile, conservative, accused by 8 women and a frequent liar. It takes a cult of personality to support someone that pitiful,” Lady Bunny tweeted last year.

In January, Lady Bunny commented on the prospect of another Hillary Clinton presidential bid by declaring, “If Dems go this route, they are begging to lose. What will the slogan be? ‘We know Joe’s a corporate hawk and a liar. But unlike Biden, Hillary’s not senile!'” (Read more from “Drag Queen Scheduled to Perform at House Democrats’ Retreat Called Biden ‘Senile’” HERE)

US Denies Claims of Bioweapon Labs in Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration is forcefully pushing back on Russian claims that the United States is running bioweapons labs in Ukraine, with the Pentagon calling it “Russian propaganda” and “a bunch of malarkey.”

The Russian government and media outlets have ramped up claims in recent days that the U.S. was operating bioweapon research facilities in Ukraine, with Chinese diplomats and propaganda outlets also amplifying the claims. The allegations from Russia have stretched back years. The U.S. has consistently denied the claims, and Russia has never provided any proof.

“The Russian accusations are absurd, they are laughable, and, you know, in the words of my Irish Catholic grandfather, a bunch of malarkey. There’s nothing to it. It’s classic Russian propaganda,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Wednesday. “We are not developing biological or chemical weapons inside Ukraine. It’s not happening.”

At a Senate Foreign Relations Commission on Tuesday, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida asked Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland if Ukraine has chemical or biological weapons.

“Ukraine has biological research facilities, which, in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian troops and Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of,” Nuland replied. “So we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach.” (Read more from “US Denies Claims of Bioweapon Labs in Ukraine” HERE)

GOP/Dem Spending Bill Funds Border Security for Eight Foreign Countries

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Democrat spending bill, negotiated with Republicans, uses American taxpayer money to fund “border security” measures in eight foreign countries while including no new funds to construct a border wall along the United States-Mexico border.

The government funding package spends about $370 million in taxpayer money to fund “enhanced border security” in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman. At least $150 million of that funding is allocated for Jordan’s borders.

Likewise, the package includes taxpayer money to fund border security in Libya, “border security activities” in Nepal, and “border security programs” in Pakistan.

Though Republicans were able to preserve nearly $2 billion in previously-allocated border wall construction funds, the package does not include any new border wall funding. (Read more from “GOP/Dem Spending Bill Funds Border Security for Eight Foreign Countries” HERE)

Putin Sinks to a New Low: Outrage as Maternity Hospital Is Bombed

/0 Comments/in , /by

A maternity hospital in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol has been decimated in a ‘direct hit’ by Russian rockets leaving children buried in the rubble, President Zelensky has said, in what he described as an ‘atrocity’ and ‘the ultimate proof of genocide against Ukrainians.’

Footage has emerged of badly wounded patients and nurses being evacuated from decimated buildings, while pregnant women were carried out on stretchers into a courtyard covered in rubble and littered with huge craters. At least 17 people, including women in labour, were injured in the attack, officials said.

Zelensky himself posted a video showing the badly damaged hospital buildings, filmed inside a destroyed ward room with its windows blown out and ceiling partially collapsed. More footage showed a car park covered in rubble and the smouldering wrecks of vehicles as injured families staggered into the freezing air while snow fell.

‘Direct strike of Russian troops at the maternity hospital. People, children are under the wreckage. Atrocity! How much longer will the world be an accomplice ignoring terror? Close the sky right now! Stop the killings! You have power but you seem to be losing humanity,’ the President tweeted, before announcing on his Telegram channel that the hospital strike ‘is the ultimate proof that what is happening is the genocide of Ukrainians’.

‘Europeans, you can’t say you didn’t see what is happening. You have to tighten the sanctions until Russia can’t continue their savage war,’ he said. (Read more from “Putin Sinks to a New Low: Outrage as Maternity Hospital Is Bombed” HERE)

‘No Effect’: Country Suspends National Vaccine Mandate

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Last month, Austria became the first country in the world to make it illegal to be without proof of COVID vaccination, but the European nation has suspended its law after protests and reports the measure had no effect.

The government said Wednesday the law was “not proportionate to the threat” of the omicron variant of the virus that caused COVID-19, which while more contagious presents with mild symptoms.

The Austrian daily Kronen Zeitung reported the announcement was made only days before the government was set to impose fines of up to 3,600 euros, about $4,000, for the unvaccinated. . .

The German news magazine Der Spiegel reported the Austrian law had “practically no effect” on increasing vaccination, with about 1 million people, or 13% of the population, remaining unvaccinated. (Read more from “‘No Effect’: Country Suspends National Vaccine Mandate” HERE)

Lawmakers Now Consider Legalizing Letting Babies up to a Month Old Die

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .According to the team of legal experts, “The Maryland legislative session is in full swing, and once again, abortion advocates are pushing their radical abortion agenda. Recently, we told you about the testimony we presented against Maryland House Bill 1171, which is attempting to codify Roe v. Wade in the Maryland constitution. Now, we’re preparing to submit testimony on Maryland Senate Bill 669 – also known as the Pregnant Person’s Freedom Act of 2022.”

That bill, at first glance, looks like it simply changes “woman” to “pregnant person” in its references.

But its provisions to prevent a “pregnant person” from being investigated for “terminating or attempting to terminate” her own pregnancy is where the plan gets lethal.

“The bill also proposes a revision of the fetal murder/manslaughter statute that would serve to handcuff the investigation of infant deaths unrelated to abortion. In other words – this bill will effectively legalize infanticide,” the ACLJ reported.

“The exact language of the bill states: ‘This section may not be construed to authorize any form of investigation or penalty for a person . . . experiencing a . . . perinatal death related to a failure to act.’ (Emphasis added). In other words, a baby born alive and well could be abandoned and left to starve or freeze to death, and nothing could be done to punish those who participated in that cruel death,” the organization’s report explained.

Pelosi Kills Billions in COVID-19 Spending Due to Democratic Civil War

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stripped COVID-19 money from Congress’ omnibus government funding bill due to infighting among Democrats.

Congress was expected to include almost $16 billion in funding to continue fighting the coronavirus pandemic that President Joe Biden recently said Americans are ready to move on from, about one-third of which would be to help global relief efforts in other countries. But a sizeable portion of the Democratic caucus revolted over how the funds would be paid for.

House leadership planned to pay for some of the new COVID-19 relief funds with leftover money from last year’s American Rescue Plan, according to CNN. The plan was Democrats’ response to Republican objections that states should actually spend all of the relief money they were already given before more funds are disbursed.
