/0 Comments/in , /by

During this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) criticized House Select January 6 Committee Democrats for their “choreographed” presentation earlier in the week.

The Ohio Republican lawmaker also reminded viewers of altered evidence, apparently referring to an altered text message exchange between Jordan and Mark Meadows.

A bipartisan group of senators announced a deal on gun control legislation Sunday in the wake of recent mass shootings — though the compromise excludes President Joe Biden’s “assault weapons” ban and a raised minimum age for rifle purchases. . .

A press released from the bipartisan group outlines the contours of the proposed legislation (original emphasis) :

Is Biden Planning to Purchase Oil From Saudi Arabia?

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden is expected to extend an olive branch to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman after promising to make him a “pariah” and working to isolate the Saudi regime for months.

On Monday, the White House confirmed that Biden is planning to visit the oil-rich nation this summer, marking the culmination of an 18-month standoff between Biden and the crown prince. Biden is trying to wind up back in the crown prince’s good graces as gas prices soar amid the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Insider News reported that attempts by U.S. officials to convince the Saudis to increase their oil production have thus far been unsuccessful. Reportedly, the crown prince has repeatedly ignored phone calls from Biden when the president has sought to discuss issues of oil availability.

Displaying how vulnerable and dependent the U.S. is on foreign oil, Biden recently directly asked the crown prince to increase Saudi Arabia’s oil output. (Read more from “Is Biden Planning to Purchase Oil From Saudi Arabia?” HERE)

Trump Adviser: FBI Agents Did Not Read Miranda Rights or Allow Him to Call His Lawyer; ‘The World Is Watching,’ Jan 6 Hearings Committee Chairman Boasts. Americans’ Ratings Disagree.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Former White House economic adviser Peter Navarro filed a motion in federal court in Washington, DC, on Friday, claiming that the FBI agents who arrested him last week failed to read him his Miranda rights or to provide him access to his attorney.

Navarro was arrested last week for contempt of Congress as he was boarding a flight at Reagan National Airport. He has declined to cooperate with the January 6 Committee, citing claims of executive privilege and constitutional objections. . .

He also alleges that he was handcuffed and placed in leg irons, and was held in a cell without being provided with water. (Read more from “Trump Adviser: FBI Agents Did Not Read Miranda Rights or Allow Him to Call His Lawyer” HERE)

‘The World Is Watching,’ Jan 6 Hearings Committee Chairman Boasts. Americans’ Ratings Disagree.

By Daily Wire. On Thursday night, as the Jan. 6 Committee convened to start their hearings, Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MI) boasted, “The world is watching what we do here.”

According to preliminary ratings figures from Nielsen, the world might have been watching, but most Americans had better things to do.

The New York Times tried to hype the number of people watching the hearings by writing breathlessly, “An audience of at least 20 million people watched the first prime-time hearing of the House Select Committee’s investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on Thursday night, according to Nielsen.”

But as The Federalist pointed out, that wasn’t much to brag about:

According to preliminary ratings figures from Nielsen published by The New York Times, more than 19 million tuned in for what was anticipated to be a blockbuster event. While 19 million may seem high at first glance, a look at what cable and broadcast networks typically pull for an average evening reveals Thursday’s viewership as little to brag about, especially when all but one, Fox News, aired the livestream.

Expert: Housing Market Most Constricted Since 2006, Purchase Applications Down 40%

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United States housing market is just another sector of the economy that is suffering from coronavirus lockdowns and President Joe Biden’s policies. One expert predicts the most constricted housing market since 2006.

“The U.S. housing market is at the beginning stages of the most significant contraction in activity since 2006,” Len Kiefer, an economist with Freddie Mac, said in a Business Insider report.

Kiefer said this has not shown up in data yet but will surface over the summer.

“Purchase [applications are] down 40 percent from seasonally adjusted peak,” Kiefer said. (Read more from “Expert: Housing Market Most Constricted Since 2006, Purchase Applications Down 40%” HERE)

Drag Queen Story Hour Director Pushes Gun Control to ‘Protect Children’: ‘Drag Queens Aren’t Going Into Schools to Shoot Kids’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Drag Queen Story Hour executive director Jonathan Hamilt said that gun control is needed to protect kids.

“You know, 19 students just got shot in Texas, and Texas legislation wants to ban minors from going to drag shows. It makes zero sense. It’s a sad, sorry excuse… [for] the lack of gun control, and that’s the real issue,” Hamilt said, according to the Independent.

A school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, last month left 19 children and two teachers dead.

“Drag queens aren’t going into schools to shoot kids… when did we decide that it’s appropriate to teach kids how to hide under desks and not to talk about LGBT people and histories?” Hamilt said. “If people really wanted to protect children, it wouldn’t be banning LGBTQ education, it would be banning guns.” (Read more from “Drag Queen Story Hour Director Pushes Gun Control to ‘Protect Children’: ‘Drag Queens Aren’t Going Into Schools to Shoot Kids'” HERE)

White House Economist Has No Plan for Bidenflation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Friday morning brought catastrophic results showing inflation yet again at a forty year high. It was even bad enough to blow past expectations. Predictably, President Joe Biden’s response involved blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin. White House Economist Cecilia Rouse tried to repeat that bogus excuse that same day, but not even CNN’s Jim Sciutto would let her get away with it.

Shortly after the numbers were release, Rouse appeared on “CNN Newsroom” where Sciutto directly asked her “does the White House see any relief in these numbers for Americans in the near future, and if so, when?”

Through her fumbled response, Rouse failed to give a proper response. “So, look, the president very much understands and we very much understand that that we’ve got uncomfortably high inflation. What we saw in the data this month was that month on month prices increased overall, the headline CPI increased about 1 percent, and about half of that was due to food and energy, which can be almost directly tied to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.”

Rouse looked to continue by saying “and so” before Sciutto cut in. “It’s not just that, you know,” he said, as sounding less than patient with this administration’s tactic to blame everyone else. “It’s not–prices are rising, I get it. I get the world oil markets are up, but you know pricing are rising for everything: used cars, rent.”

Faced with Scuitto’s pushback, Rouse had no choice but to concede to his point. “Absolutely. And so, and the president understands that and so he has, like, he has emphasized he’s focused on this as part of his plan, I know this doesn’t sound like a plan, but first and foremost he respects the independence of the federal reserve.” (Read more from “White House Economist Has No Plan for Bidenflation” HERE)

911 Call Confirms Motivations of Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Alleged Would-Be Killer

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, 26-year-old Nicholas John Roske of Simi Valley, California was arrested outside near Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home. The suspect told police he wanted to kill the U.S. Supreme Court justice. The just-released 911 calls reveal that he told this to the operator as well, and also confirm the suspect’s motivations. . .

[Via Fox News:]

[Roske] then describes how he has moved the suitcase away from him, that he said contains firearms, pepper spray, a knife and tools, away from him, and is sitting on the curb. When asked why he came all the way from California and if he knows someone, Roske says: “Brett Kavanaugh…The Supreme Court Justice.”

Roske later told police he was upset by a leaked draft opinion suggesting the Supreme Court is about to overrule Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark abortion case. He also said he was upset over the school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, and believed Kavanaugh would vote to loosen gun control laws, the affidavit said.

In the 911 call, the operator asks if he came with the intent to “hurt yourself and him or what was going to happen?”

“Correct” Roske says.

Here’s What the Uvalde School Police Chief Has to Say About the Shooting

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Uvalde school police chief who has been lambasted for the lack of police response in the child massacre said that he didn’t know he was in charge at the time and explained how he didn’t know about 911 calls coming from inside the school.

Pete Arredondo, the chief of police for the Uvalde school district, made the revelations in an interview with the Texas Tribune that was published Thursday.

He went through a moment by moment recollection of what he did during the hour that the shooter was locked in with children at Robb Elementary School and kept killing them.

Arredondo assumed that some other officer or official had taken control of the larger response. He took on the role of a front-line responder.

He said he never considered himself the scene’s incident commander and did not give any instruction that police should not attempt to breach the building. DPS officials have described Arredondo as the incident commander and said Arredondo made the call to stand down and treat the incident as a “barricaded suspect,” which halted the attempt to enter the room and take down the shooter. “I didn’t issue any orders,” Arredondo said. “I called for assistance and asked for an extraction tool to open the door.”
