Biden Announces Additional $3 Billion Security Package to Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. will ship Ukraine $3 billion worth of missiles, artillery rounds and drones in the latest military aid package intended to help Kyiv defend itself following Russia’s invasion six months ago.

The package includes six more National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) and munitions; up to 245,000 rounds of 155 mm artillery ammunition; and up to 65,000 rounds of 120 mm mortar ammo, Pentagon officials told reporters on Wednesday.

Colin Kahl, the Pentagon’s undersecretary of defense for policy, said the latest Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) program represents a multiyear investment to help Kyiv fend off Russia.

“We will stick with Ukraine over the long haul,” Mr. Kahl said.

The latest plan represents a change in the way the Biden administration has helped supply Ukraine’s forces. In the past, the Pentagon pulled military equipment from its own stock to supply Ukraine with lethal hardware. Under USAI, the government will be able to procure Ukraine’s needs directly from private industry suppliers. (Read more from “Biden Announces Additional $3 Billion Security Package to Ukraine” HERE)

Reporter Asks Biden if Student Debt Relief Is Fair to People Who Already Paid, and His Response Gets Instant Backlash (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden was challenged by a reporter about the fairness of his student debt relief order, and his answer was immediately lambasted by many on social media.

Biden was speaking about the student debt program he ordered Wednesday when a reporter asked him to comment on the challenge that the policy was unfair to those borrowers who worked hard to pay off their loans.

“Is this unfair to people who paid their student loans or chose not to take out loans?” asked Karen Travers of ABC News.

“Is it fair to people who, in fact, do not own multi-billion-dollar businesses if they see one of these guys getting all the tax breaks? Is that fair? What do you think?” Biden responded.

“What about people who paid their loans, though, struggled to pay their loans, and now others don’t have to?” asked another reporter.

COVID Insanity: Top College Forcing Students to Wear Masks in Classrooms Again

/0 Comments/in , /by

Georgetown University is requiring its students to continue wearing masks during in-class instruction this fall amid lingering cases of COVID-19 and nationwide outbreaks of monkeypox.

The mask mandate, which applies to students in classrooms and teaching laboratories, does not apply to “informal gatherings” at places such as libraries and study spaces, according to public health guidance the Washington, D.C., school released Wednesday.

Students heading into the third fall term since the pandemic are also required to mask up on university-sponsored public transportation and in university health care facilities. In accordance with ongoing D.C. rules, every student who was in quarantine must continue wearing masks for 10 days.

Unless they have an approved medical or religious exemption, students, faculty, staff and visitors to Georgetown are required to have received a primary series of COVID-19 vaccination, as well as a booster if they are eligible.

Boston Children’s Hospital’s Transgender Insanity Reveals How Unhinged Elites Make Money off Our Kids

/0 Comments/in , /by

Recent events at Boston Children’s Hospital reveal the yawning gulf between the values of ordinary American parents and the decadent beliefs of a venal and increasingly unhinged elite.

When activist “Billboard” Chris Elston broke the story of videos promoting “gender affirmation” for kids as young as 2 at the hospital, the outcry was immediate and immense. The progressive press has retaliated by calling this “right-wing harassment,” and of course any actual threats should be condemned.

But frankly, outrage is the right response to medics promoting the idea that kids young enough to be in diapers have a clear enough sense of their own identity to justify far-reaching changes such as “social transition,” in which everyone around a child agrees to pretend he or she is the opposite sex. A hospital psychologist even insisted in one video that “a good portion of children do know as early as from the womb.”

So when the US Justice Department came out in defense of the hospital last week, normal parents might be forgiven for thinking America’s rulers have taken leave of their senses. But what’s afoot isn’t insanity so much as a government-approved gold-rush. The “resource” these speculators are fighting over? The healthy bodies of American children.

Data show that “socially transitioned” children are far more likely to go on to medical interventions. And perhaps this is the point: After all, transgender is big business. Gender-transition surgery can cost upward of $100,000. The US gender-surgery market was valued in 2021 at $1.9 billion, with predicted annual growth of more than 10%. And when hormone therapy costs $1,500 a year, for the rest of a patient’s life, no wonder entrepreneurial medics want kids on the treatment treadmill as young as possible. Clinics are popping up like mushrooms to take advantage of this new business opportunity: The first American pediatric gender clinic opened in 2007, and there are now more than 50 nationwide.

WATCH: Rabid Fox Savagely Attacks Woman in Horrifying Video

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A rabid fox viciously attacked a woman in her own yard, and surveillance footage captured the incredible struggle as she fought for her life.

The incident unfolded in Ithaca, New York, in July and was completely unprovoked, as seen in the video posted by TMZ. In the video, the fox approaches the woman from behind while she talks on the phone and bites her on the leg. The woman immediately kicks out, shaking the animal off, but the fox relentlessly continues its attack.

The video then shows the woman giving the fox a number of powerful kicks, but that doesn’t seem to deter the animal at all. As the woman tries to kick the fox, it bites down on her leg again and refuses to let go. The woman can be seen kicking her leg high into the air with the rabid fox still attached to it.

New FBI Whistleblower Claims Bureau Leadership Slow-Walked Hunter Biden Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI slow-walked its investigation into Hunter Biden’s laptop, including telling some bureau employees not to look at the hard drive belonging to President Joe Biden’s son, according to reported whistleblower disclosures made public by a top Senate Republican.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) sent a letter to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Tuesday about the new whistleblower claims, following disclosures made public last month about the bureau allegedly wrongly labeling Hunter Biden evidence as “disinformation” in 2020.

“Whistleblowers have recently contacted my office to share serious concerns about the FBI’s handling of Hunter Biden’s laptop,” Johnson told Horowitz, telling the watchdog that after the FBI obtained the laptop from a Delaware computer shop in late 2019, local FBI leadership told bureau employees that “you will not look at that Hunter Biden laptop” and that the FBI is “not going to change the outcome of the election again,” the whistleblowers said.

Johnson said the new whistleblower claims “allege that the FBI did not begin to examine the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop until after the 2020 presidential election — potentially a year after the FBI obtained the laptop in Dec. 2019.”

Johnson said that the new whistleblower allegations should spur the DOJ inspector general to action. (Read more from “New FBI Whistleblower Claims Bureau Leadership Slow-Walked Hunter Biden Investigation” HERE)

More Lies? Biden Insists He Had ‘Zero’ Prior Notice of FBI Mar-A-Lago Raid

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden broke his silence Wednesday on the FBI raid of former President Donald Trump’s home. . .

“I didn’t have any advance notice. None. Zero,” Biden said, raising his hand to make a circle with his finger and thumb. “Not one single bit.” . . .

At the time, Biden officials speaking to media outlets repeated that no one in the White House had advance notice of the raid. . .

Recently uncovered correspondence with Trump’s attorneys and members of Biden’s legal team show that Biden’s then-White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su waived Trump’s claim of executive privilege surrounding documents in the president’s possession.

That suggests that while some of Biden’s legal staffers might not have known about the specifics of the raid, they could have known about the effect their actions would have on the ongoing FBI investigation.

Kenosha Pledges to Stop Using Ballot Drop Boxes After Wisconsin Supreme Court Ruled They’re Illegal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Following a contentious legal battle with Wisconsin voters, the city of Kenosha has agreed to stop using unmanned ballot drop boxes in future elections, according to a press release from the Thomas More Society.

In a May lawsuit filed by the Thomas More Society on behalf of the Wisconsin Voter Alliance, the plaintiffs argued that Kenosha’s policy “concerning the use of absentee ballot drop boxes violated state law.”

“Attorneys representing Kenosha had filed a motion in June 2022 to dismiss the complaint, but the July 8, 2022, ruling by the Wisconsin Supreme Court banned the use of the drop boxes,” the press release reads. “An August 23, 2022, hearing for the case began with Kenosha changing the argument to ‘mootness’ with nothing left to argue, thereby handing the victory to the voters.”

While Kenosha Assistant City Attorney Bryan Charbogian reportedly indicated that the city would stop its use of ballot drop boxes, Thomas More Society Special Counsel Erick Kaardal “refuted the dismissal, pointing out that the city had not changed their 2020 policies concerning drop boxes” and argued that the case “should not be dismissed for mootness until such time the Kenosha Common Council repeals the current drop box policy.” (Read more from “Kenosha Pledges to Stop Using Ballot Drop Boxes After Wisconsin Supreme Court Ruled They’re Illegal” HERE)

Democrats: It’s Not Enough, ‘Cancel All Student Debt’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden’s plan to cancel a portion of student loan debt has drawn mixed reactions from both far-leftists and conservatives across social media as some leftists contend it is not enough while others celebrate it as a victory for racial justice, and conservatives claim it will only benefit elites.

President Biden on Wednesday announced his plan to forgive a portion of student loan debt for individual borrowers making less than $125,000.

“In keeping with my campaign promise, my Administration is announcing a plan to give working and middle class families breathing room as they prepare to resume federal student loan payments in January 2023. I’ll have more details this afternoon,” Biden said in a post on social media ahead of an afternoon press conference.

According to the graphic attached to the tweet, the administration will forgive $20,000 if an individual making under $125,000 annually went to college on Pell Grants. The figure reduces to $10,000 if the individual did not receive Pell Grants. Additionally, the student loan pause has been extended for the rest of the year, expiring December 31, 2022:

Major Grocer Sued for Alleged False Advertising

/0 Comments/in , /by

An anti-factory farm nonprofit alongside a trio of customers sued Whole Foods on Tuesday, claiming that the grocery chain used antibiotics in its beef products despite marketing them with the slogan “No Antibiotics, Ever.”

Activist group Farm Forward claims that independent testing found antibiotics and other pharmaceutical residue in beef sold at Whole Foods, alleging that the Amazon subsidiary’s claims it does not use antibiotics were false advertising, according to their complaint. Farm Forward’s website states that their mission is to “promote conscientious food choices, reduce farmed animal suffering, and advance sustainable agriculture.”

The non-profit group claims that the use of antibiotics in meats is often unnecessary, promoting industry profits by forcing animals into unsanitary conditions, leading the drugs to become less effective as diseases adapt to the regular low-doses given preventatively to animals in factory farms. Whole Foods currently markets at least 42 beef products as being antibiotic-free, charging a premium price for the moniker, according to the lawsuit.
