Biden’s ‘Green Energy’ Push Is About to Cost 8,000 Americans Their Jobs

/0 Comments/in , /by

While President Joe Biden has heralded Ford Motor Company as an example of a U.S. entity following his dictates for a “transition” from fossil fuels to alternative (read: more expensive and less reliable) energy, it turns out the exemplar of “Made in America” might also mean “fired in America” as the company struggles to rise to Biden’s challenge while remaining profitable.

According to new reporting from Reuters, around 8,000 Ford employees’ jobs are on the chopping block as the automaker tries to shift to an electric vehicle business despite trailing successful EV producers like Elon Musk’s Tesla — a company President Biden has ignored despite its success.

The 8,000 Ford jobs in jeopardy, according to Reuters, are part of “a bid to reduce costs and intensify its focus on electric vehicles” and will be made to “Ford’s salaried workforce, as well as the Ford Blue unit created in March to run the company’s internal combustion engine operations.” The positions to be eliminated have, according to Reuters’ sources, not been finalized but the cuts “are likely to begin this summer.” (Read more from “Biden’s ‘Green Energy’ Push Is About to Cost 8,000 Americans Their Jobs” HERE)

CNN: Trump’s Actions on January 6 ‘Legally Criminal’; Dem Rep. Falsely Claims Police ‘Killed’ in Capitol Riot

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. CNN’s legal analyst Laura Coates said during a break of her network’s coverage of the House Select Committee hearing that former President Donald Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021 were “legally criminal.”

Discussing testimony that Trump told the White House photographer not to take pictures on January 6, Coates said, “The president is saying ‘do not show what’s happening here.’ Are you gleeful? Are you rejoicing? Go back to December 18, that consequential meeting. This was the plan. January 6 was the culmination of a plan and an effort. It sounds very clear from their testimony to try to use a last-ditch effort to ignore the fact that the judges told you no, that there was no evidence, your attorney general told you there’s no there there. Then he said why would I have stopped what I have set in motion? I mean, inertia is the thing in motion stays in motion. He doesn’t want it to stop. That is criminal.” (Read more from “CNN: Trump’s Actions on January 6 ‘Legally Criminal’” HERE)

Fact Check: Bennie Thompson Falsely Claims Police ‘Killed’ in Capitol Riot

By Breitbart. CLAIM: President Donald Trump failed to stop rioters who were “savagely beating and killing law enforcement officers.”

VERDICT: FALSE. While some rioters attacked police, they did not kill any; the only person killed was a fellow rioter.

The January 6 Committee held its eighth public hearing on Thursday, and its second in prime time. The event was billed as a crucial moment, the last scheduled hearing and one in which damning evidence would be revealed about Trump’s role.

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the chair of the committee, opened proceedings by addressing the hearing remotely, since he was recently diagnosed with COVID-19. Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the chair of the committee, opened proceedings by addressing the hearing remotely, since he was recently diagnosed with COVID-19. He claimed that Trump was indifferent to the “beating and killing” of police officers:

For 187 minutes on January 6th, this man of unbridled destructive energy could not be moved. Not by his aides, not by his allies, not by the violent chants of rioters, or the desperate pleas of those facing down the riot. And more tellingly, Donald Trump ignored and disregarded the desperate pleas of his own family, including Ivanka and Don Jr. Even though he was the only person in the world who could call off the mob he sent to the Capitol [sic] he could not be moved to rise from his dining room table and walk a few steps down the White House hallway into the press briefing room, where cameras were anxiously and desperately waiting to carry his message to the armed and violent mob savagely beating and killing law enforcement officers revenging the Capitol and hunting down the Vice President and various members of Congress. He could not be moved.

Senate NDAA to Pentagon: ‘Immediately’ Halt Fight Against Extremism

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Senate Armed Services Committee has called on the Defense Department to halt its programs to prevent and root out extremism in the ranks.

The report accompanying the Senate’s National Defense Authorization Act, which was made public late Monday, states the committee’s view that “spending additional time and resources to combat exceptionally rare instances of extremism in the military is an inappropriate use of taxpayer funds, and should be discontinued by the Department of Defense immediately.”

The language has not previously been reported in the press. While not legally binding on the Pentagon, it appears to send a signal of congressional opposition to efforts to counter extremist narratives in the military. The Defense Department initiative was fueled largely by the fact that dozens of people charged with ransacking the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, were former or current service personnel — about 17 percent of those charged.

While the Senate report language suggests the committee as a whole supports halting counter-extremism training and analysis, the same document reveals that the committee approved including that section of the report by only the narrowest of margins: 14-12.

Every Republican on the committee voted for the motion, and every Democrat voted against it. Maine Independent Sen. Angus King’s vote in favor of the language tipped the balance in the GOP’s favor. (Read more from “Senate NDAA to Pentagon: ‘Immediately’ Halt Fight Against Extremism” HERE)

Stephen King Appears to Praise Holocaust Architect as ‘Great Man’ in Prank Call (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Renowned horror author Stephen King appeared to praise Ukrainian Nazi collaborator and Holocaust architect Stepan Bandera as “a great man” in a released prank phone call from Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus.

The comedic duo posted a video to Telegram in which King, an outspoken supporter of Ukraine on Twitter, appears to believe he is speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In a wide-ranging conversation, the duo seem to get King to offer “Zelensky” a part as Pennywise, the monster clown from King’s It, in a new movie. They also get him to consider writing a screenplay supporting the Azov Regiment in which Russian soldiers rape an Azov commander. At one point, the author says, “I think that Russian writers need to shut up,” according to the tape.

The Zelensky impostor claimed there were no Nazis in Ukraine and dismissed the Ukrainian nationalist Bandera’s “crimes against Jews” as “accidental,” the tape shows. He then asked what King thought of Bandera, according to the footage.

“You can always find things about people to pull them down. Washington and Jefferson were slave owners — that doesn’t mean they didn’t do many good things to the United States of America. There are always people who have flaws, we are humans. On the whole, I think Bandera is a great man, and you’re a great man, and Viva Ukraine!” King purportedly answered.

Antifa Summer Camp Teaches Kids How to Hate Police and Raise Anarchy

/0 Comments/in , /by

Goodbye are the days where kids come home from camp with macaroni pictures and beaded bracelets. Now they will come home knowing how to properly be a progressive activist.

A summer camp in Portland is offering “a free, radical social justice camp” where they learn Black Lives Matter (BLM) chants about putting “killer cops in jail,” and “reflect on white supremacy.”

The Budding Roses camp, part of a project from the Black Rose Anarchist Federation, will host a two-week camp for grades fourth to eighth aimed at teaching kids the main proponents of anarchy, similar to the 2020 violent riots.

Teaching kids how to hate the police, the camp’s curriculum features a “Black Lives Matter At School” coloring book and a “What is Police Abolition” section that imagines communities without cops. (Read more from “Antifa Summer Camp Teaches Kids How to Hate Police and Raise Anarchy” HERE)

Judge Rebukes Georgia Prosecutor Investigating Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

A judge overseeing the Fulton County special grand jury inquiry into the 2020 election and former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results in Georgia tore into District Attorney Fani Willis on Thursday for helping to fundraise against a target of her investigation.

At issue was Willis participating in a fundraiser for Democratic lieutenant governor hopeful Charlie Bailey in June, a rival to Republican Burt Jones, who has been informed he is a criminal target of the Fulton County district attorney’s investigation. Noting poor optics, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney criticized Willis but refrained from ruling on whether she should be removed from that aspect of the inquiry.

“I don’t know that it’s an actual conflict, but … it’s a ‘what are you thinking’ moment,” McBurney said during a hearing Thursday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. “If we’re trying to maintain confidence that this investigation is pursuing facts in a nonpartisan sense … that strikes me as problematic.”

Lawyers for Jones reportedly claimed the June fundraiser Willis attended reaped $32,000 for his Democratic rival and implored the judge to order the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office to appoint another prosecutor to the case to question him. They were in court Thursday for a hearing on a motion filed to disqualify Willis over the fundraiser. (Read more from “Judge Rebukes Georgia Prosecutor Investigating Trump” HERE)

A sheriff in Missouri has refused to release gun owner information to the FBI, even if the agency threatens to arrest him.

Republican Scotland County Sheriff Bryan Whitney wrote to residents in his community on Monday about the plan to audit Missouri’s gun owner records.

“As the sheriff of Scotland County, I want all my citizens to know that I will not allow, cooperate or release any [conceal carry weapon] information to the FBI, ‘even at the threat of a federal arrest,’” said Whitney.

“Point Blank, ‘I will go down with the ship if need be,’” he added, according to Fox News.

Whitney says the FBI planned to audit 24 counties, though it is unknown which counties in Missouri would be affected. (Read more from “Sheriff Refuses to Release Gun Owner Info to the FBI: ‘I Will Go Down With the Ship if Need Be'” HERE)

Deadly Distraction: Putin Could Be Facing Another War Front — This One on His Own Turf

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russian President Vladimir Putin could be facing another war front, this time on his own turf, as one Chechen battalion prepares a second offensive against Moscow, a spokesman for the volunteer fighting force in Ukraine said.

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February, volunteer Chechen forces joined the fight in support of Kyiv — fueling the flames to a long-held animus towards not only Russia, but Putin.

“We know the enemy’s positions, where Russian military bases are,” Islam Belokiev, spokesman for the Sheikh Mansur Battalion, said in a video message obtained by Fox News Digital this week while announcing a plan to once again fight for Chechen independence. “We have divided the Chechen Republic of Icheriya into three fronts and 16 sectors.”

Chechen resistance to Russian rule dates back centuries, and calls for independence began more than 30 years ago following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Broad autonomy was granted under a peace treaty signed by then Russian President Boris Yeltsin after a brutal war devastated the republic from 1994-1996. (Read more from “Deadly Distraction: Putin Could Be Facing Another War Front — This One on His Own Turf” HERE)
