Jan. 6 Witness Who Blasted Trump Admits He’d Vote for the Former President Again

/0 Comments/in , /by

Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers plans to vote for former President Donald Trump if he is the nominee in 2024 despite his disparagement of the president’s actions.

During a public hearing Tuesday before the House Jan. 6 committee, Bowers recalled how Trump pressured him to “break his oath” and engage in a “circus” gambit to thwart the election over bogus election fraud claims. Despite the former president’s antics, the state speaker contended that Trump is better than the alternative.

“If he is the nominee, if he was up against Biden, I’d vote for him again simply because what he did the first time, before COVID, was so good for the county,” Bowers told the Associated Press after the hearing. “In my view, it was great.”

Bowers reiterated his rebuke of Trump supporters peddling debunked claims about a “rigged” election depriving Trump of victory in 2020, underscoring how the claims had undermined public faith in elections.

J6 Committee Focuses on Election Fraud Claims While Ignoring Tactics Used to Rig the 2020 Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

That there was no widespread fraud in November 2020 doesn’t mean that the election was not rigged to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.

The Jan. 6 show trial continues this week in the House, with several partisan aims remaining in focus, chief among them conditioning the public to believe the Nov. 3, 2020 election was the most secure in American history. By limiting their focus to select and disproven claims of election fraud, the Democrat-stacked House committee provides a bait-and-switch prime-time presentation designed to convince the country that Trump lied to his supporters when he declared the election was stolen.

But stealing an election by fraud is not the only way to rig an outcome. Elections are rigged when systemic violations of election law occur, disparately favoring one candidate and allowing for tens of thousands of illegal votes to be counted.

And the election was rigged with every illegal drop box placed in Democrat-heavy precincts. (Read more from “J6 Committee Focuses on Election Fraud Claims While Ignoring Tactics Used to Rig the 2020 Election” HERE)

‘Pro-Choice’ Democrats Demand Google Block Search Results for Crisis Pregnancy Centers

/0 Comments/in , /by

As pregnancy centers, pro-life organizations, and churches all around the nation are under siege from pro-abortion criminal groups which are outraged that the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, 21 congressional Democrats are demanding Google’s parent company Alphabet ban search engine results for crisis pregnancy centers so women will feel they have no options but to seek services from facilities that promote murdering preborn babies.

In a letter addressed to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai on June 17, Democrats such as Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Richard Blumenthal, Dianne Feinstein, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Bernie Sanders smeared life-affirming pregnancy centers, many of which offer free or discounted pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and other care to women in need, as “fake clinics” that don’t deserve a spot in Google’s top results.

The Democrats parroted data from the foreign dark-money group The Center for Countering Digital Hate which recently claimed that 11 percent of search engine results for queries such as “abortion near me” and “abortion pill” in at least 13 states where abortion will be effectively banned if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade redirected users to pregnancy centers. The same CCDH report allegedly found that 37 percent of Google Maps searches also ended at pro-life care clinics.

In the letter, Democrat signatories argue that these kinds of search engine results are “misleading” and could direct women to organizations that encourage and help them keep their babies alive.

VP Harris Botches Juneteenth History Lesson About ‘400 Years of Slavery’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris bungled a history lesson about the Juneteenth holiday Monday, telling kids that black people were enslaved in America for 400 years — overstating the actual time period by more than 150 years.

“I think that we all know today is a day to celebrate the principle of freedom,” Harris told a group of about two dozen elementary school-age children at the National Museum of African American History & Culture in Washington. “And think about it in terms of the context of history, knowing that black people in America were not free for 400 years of slavery.”

“Let this be a day that is a day to celebrate the principle of freedom, but to speak about it honestly and accurately, both in the context of history and current application,” Harris went on during her apparently extemporaneous remarks.

The first African slaves in the American colonies arrived in 1619 in Virginia. Slavery was abolished through the 13th Amendment, which was ratified in 1865 — ending 246 years of the practice, not 400.

A White House official acknowledged Harris’ error, telling The Post that “the vice president was referring to 400 years since slavery began.” (Read more from “VP Harris Botches Juneteenth History Lesson About ‘400 Years of Slavery’” HERE)

Senate Gun Control Bill Released – Here’s What May Change

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. A bipartisan working group of U.S. Senators — 10 Democrats and 10 Republicans — finally unveiled the result of their work on federal firearm legislation spurred by the tragic shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, one that increasingly looks to have been worsened by a failure in local authorities’ response.

The text’s release was delayed this week by some last-minute negotiations over a ban on any healthcare-related funds in the bill being used to pay for abortions, but that hurdle was cleared by Tuesday afternoon when the final text was released. . .

As Townhall reported previously, a framework agreement for the bill was reached on June 12 that included “crisis intervention orders” and an “enhanced review period” for purchasers under 21 years old. The framework, even though it contained increased funding for mental health care, safety measures in schools, and training for staff, set off alarm bells for some Second Amendment advocates worried about what would end up in the final text of the bill.

Senators Strike Deal on Gun Control Bill—Here’s What May Change (And What Won’t)

By Forbes. The two lead negotiators on a bipartisan gun control bill announced Tuesday they reached a deal on the language of legislation, which, if passed, would be the most significant federal gun control measures enacted in decades.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), the top Democratic negotiator, said on the Senate floor the bill would fund a federal program to encourage states to invest in red-flag laws, which allow courts to suspend gun access for individuals considered a danger to themselves or others.

The bill would also mandate “enhanced background checks” for gun purchasers under 21, including “a call to the local police department” to rule out buyers law enforcement suspects could pose a threat, according to Murphy.

Murphy and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said the bill closes what’s known as the “boyfriend” loophole by prohibiting those convicted of misdemeanor non-spousal domestic abuse from purchasing a firearm for at least five years. . .

A “historic investment in mental health,” funding for school-based health centers and new statutes to prevent gun trafficking are also in the bill, Murphy said. (Read more from “Senators Strike Deal on Gun Control Bill—Here’s What May Change (And What Won’t)” HERE)

Unhinged Pro-Abortion Activists Heckle Pro-life Students at Supreme Court (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pro-abortion and anti-abortion protesters once again showed up outside the walled off Supreme Court on Tuesday as the country waited to see if Roe v. Wade will be overturned with the expected decision from the Dobbs v. Jackson case.

Pro-abortion protesters upped the ante by having loudspeakers by their area in front of the Supreme Court as pro-life protesters shouted for the end of abortion across the country.

At one point, as decisions were being released, one pro-abortion demonstrator began to heckle activists who were with Students for Life.

Gun Owner Shoots Woman in Self-Defense Inside Grocery Store: Reports

/0 Comments/in , /by

A woman who was being assaulted inside an Iowa grocery store shot her attacker with a legally owned gun in what police called an act of self-defense, according to reports.

The woman says she fired one round Sunday morning because she was “blindsided, beat up and put in a headlock” inside the Hy-Vee food store in Des Moines, KCCI 8 reported, citing Des Moines police.

The alleged attacker, identified by police as Kapri Francis, 30, suffered a gunshot wound to the leg after she launched a “totally unprovoked attack” at the legally armed woman, police said, according to KCCI 8.

A male customer was also injured after the bullet ricocheted and hit him in the foot, the report said.

Police said the two women involved know each other, according to KCCI 8. (Read more from “Gun Owner Shoots Woman in Self-Defense Inside Grocery Store: Reports” HERE)

The Fed’s Cure for Inflation Is a Major Punch in the Gut

/0 Comments/in , /by

If you think runaway inflation is brutal, wait until you get hit by the cure.

Last week the Federal Reserve raised the interest rate on money it lends to other banks by .75%, the biggest hike in three decades. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the hike is necessary to rein in skyrocketing inflation.

He’s planning more hikes in the coming months. They’ll lead to increased interest charges on credit cards and higher rates on home-equity loans, car loans and mortgages. It’s a punch in the gut for people who need to borrow.

Get ready for the interest rates on your credit cards to top a budget-busting 20% two monthly statements from now — up from a current average of 14.6%.

If you’re shopping for a home or a car, adjust your expectations downward. Whatever you thought you could afford, you’ll now be able to afford less because monthly payments will include significantly higher interest costs.

If Dems Were Serious, Adam Schiff Wouldn’t Be on Jan. 6 Committee

/0 Comments/in , /by

The day Adam Schiff was named to the “Jan. 6” committee is the day we knew the investigation was going to be a frivolous partisan sideshow. As a political strategy, placing an inveterate fabulist like Schiff on the committee only ensured that it wouldn’t have credibility with Republicans—presumably the people Democrats want to convince.

With dwindling national interest in the proceedings, Schiff went on TV this weekend and announced that the Jan. 6 Committee was in possession of evidence that Donald Trump had hatched a “fake elector plot” (another scheme that had absolutely no chance of working. The more we see the evidence, the more it’s apparent that the system was working). When asked to clarify his contention, Schiff said he did not “want to get ahead of our hearing.” Priming your base for Trump’s arrest—again— is almost surely getting beyond the hearings. But then, Democrats have been overplaying the Trump hand since 2015. The Jan. 6 Committee has become a political version of “Lost,” always a cliffhanger and never a payoff.

What we do know is that Schiff says he has evidence he probably doesn’t. Let’s remember, Schiff was the one who read the Steele Dossier, among other fabrications, into the congressional record—even though he was aware that it was a partisan oppo file paid for by the DNC and shopped by Hillary Clinton partisans with her blessing. On numerous occasions, and with great certitude, Schiff told the media that the central assertion of the dossier was not only conceivable because of Trump’s words, but a fact. And not only did he famously claim to be in personal possession of a “smoking gun” that would prove collusion, he said he had an “abundance” of incriminating evidence.

As the fake Russiagate story fizzled out, Schiff refused to share proof of a seditious, clandestine plot against America. Not in his speeches. Not in Congress. Not on CNN. Not in his self-serving memoir. When then-“View” co-host Meghan McCain asked Schiff about it, the congressman said it had been in “plain sight” the entire time, which is opposite of what he asserted previously.

Elon Musk’s Son Files to Legally Change Name and Gender

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk’s son, Xavier, has announced he is changing his gender and his name, now wanting to be known as Vivian.

TMZ explained legal papers were filed by Xavier Musk, who turned 18 earlier this year, saying he now says his name is Vivian Jenna Wilson.

And in the documents filed in Los Angeles, he says he’s a she.

“In the docs, [he] says [he] wants to be recognized as female – but the name change isn’t just about [him] transitioning, there’s clearly a rift with dear ol’ Dad,” explained the publication. “Vivian lists [his] reason for the name change as … ‘Gender Identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.'” (Read more from “Elon Musk’s Son Files to Legally Change Name and Gender” HERE)
