Biden Forgets Rishi Sunak’s Name in Major Gaffe

/0 Comments/in , /by

Joe Biden once again appeared to pronounce Rishi Sunak’s name incorrectly as he announced a fleet of highly powerful Abram tanks will be delivered to Ukraine. Stuttering as he referred to Germany Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron, Biden then referred to the Prime Minister as ‘Sa-nook’.

“The United States and Europe are fully united. This morning, I had a long conversation with our NATO allies. German Chancellor Scholz, President Macron, Prime Minister Sa-nook and Italian Prime Minister Meloni to continue our close coordination and our support of Ukraine,”the 80-year-old told a White House press briefing.

This isn’t the first time the President has struggled to name the leader of the United States’ closest ally.

When Sunak became PM last October, Biden told reporters: “Just today we’ve got news that ‘Rashid Sa-nook’ is now the Prime Minister.”

Gaffes aside, Biden announced America’s commitment to providing Ukraine with 31 M1 Abrams main battle tanks, the toughest in the US arsenal. (Read more from “Biden Forgets Rishi Sunak’s Name in Major Gaffe” HERE)

Teacher Shot by 6-Year-Old Boy Plans to Sue School District; Superintendent Removed by Board

/0 Comments/in , /by

An attorney for the Virginia teacher who police say was intentionally shot by a 6-year-old pupil announced a forthcoming lawsuit against the school system Wednesday, the same day a school administrator resigned and the school board removed its superintendent.

The Newport News school board voted 5-1 to depose George Parker as its superintendent during its meeting, according to CNN. Ebony Parker, the assistant principal at Richneck Elementary School, resigned hours earlier.

Their exits came as Diane Toscano, an attorney for first-grade teacher Abby Zwerner, claimed the school administration ignored repeated warnings about the pupil being armed prior to the shooting on Jan. 6.

“Over the course of a few hours, three different times — three times — school administration was warned by concerned teachers and employees that the boy had a gun on him at the school and was threatening people,” Ms. Toscano said. “But the administration could not be bothered.”

The first of those warnings came from Ms. Zwerner herself around 11:30 a.m. when the accused student threatened to beat up another child. Despite this, the student was allowed to remain in class.

Judge: Teaching People How to Kill Federal Agents Is Not Protected by First Amendment

/0 Comments/in , /by

A North Carolina man indicted for allegedly teaching a government informant how to make explosive devices for the purpose of killing law enforcement officers is scheduled to face trial next month after he attempted — and failed — to get charges against him tossed.

U.S. District Court Judge James C. Dever III rejected Christopher “Kit” Arthur’s motion for dismissal last week that argues he has a First Amendment right to teach people how to make explosive devices.

Dever’s order clears the way for Arthur’s case to go to trial, with jury selection set to begin on Feb. 28. If convicted, Arthur could face up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

A retired Army scout and former sheriff’s deputy in Mount Olive, N.C., Arthur published manuals and YouTube videos that he promoted as teaching “wartime tactics to civilians for civil defense purposes,” while also providing consulting services to specific clients. . .

The order quoted Arthur as instructing the confidential government informant: “What these dumbasses are going to do, they’re going to hunker down right behind that damn armored vehicle and the other guys are going to run. And that’s when you start lobbing your grenades on them with your freaking shotty.” (Read more from “Judge: Teaching People How to Kill Federal Agents Is Not Protected by First Amendment” HERE)

Lottery Winner Burns Through Nearly $50 Million Before Death

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The winner of one of the largest EuroMIllions jackpots burned through most of his winnings before his death in 2019, new documents revealed.

Colin Weir from North Ayrshire, Scotland, won a record-breaking £161 million (roughly $257.6 million) in 2011, which still ranks as one of the largest jackpots handed out by the European lottery competition. Weir died in 2019 at the age of 71 from sepsis and “acute kidney injury,” but he had blown through most of his fortune by the time of his passing.

Weir’s initial £161 million winning, cut in half by his divorce to some £66 million (roughly $81 million) at the time, shrunk by a further £40 million (roughly $50 million) before his death, with the rest of his winnings going to his two children following a £1 million blowout for his family following his death.

One financial expert said Weir’s level of spending in eight years “takes a bit of doing,”according to Edinburgh Live.

Weir ended up spending an average of £100,000 (roughly $131,900 during that time) per week on luxury items and investments. (Read more from “Lottery Winner Burns Through Nearly $50 Million Before Death” HERE)

Emails About Lacrosse-Playing Kids Link Hunter Biden, Wife of Disgraced Ex-FBI Agent Tied to Russian Oligarch

/4 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. The wife of an ex-FBI agent arrested this week for allegedly helping a Russian oligarch has something in common with Hunter Biden — their lacrosse-playing daughters, data stored on the first son’s infamous laptop reveals.

Pamela McGonigal and Biden both received at least 29 emails related to the Next Level Lacrosse program and other activities associated with the sport from Oct. 7, 2014, to May 7, 2015, according to a search of the first son’s messages.

Two of Biden’s daughters with his first wife Kathleen Buhle — Finnegan and Maisy Biden — were midfielders on the varsity lacrosse team at the exclusive Sidwell Friends private school in Washington, DC, according to online records. . .

The emails connecting McGonigal and Hunter Biden through their daughters’ lacrosse activities were first reported by the right-wing Marco Polo USA research group.

Charles McGonigal — who’s accused of taking illegal payments from a Russian oligarch and a former Albanian spy — is also linked to Biden through the FBI’s investigation of Chi Ping Patrick Ho, who was arrested by agents at JFK Airport on Nov. 18, 2017.

‘Incredibly Suspicious’ Hunter Biden Email May Be Based on Classified Info: GOP Senator

By New York Post. A Hunter Biden email about Ukraine from 2014 looks ‘suspiciously’ like it could have come from classified information, a leading GOP senator has claimed.

Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said the April 12, 2014 message to one of the first son’s business partners resembles documents that the State Department gives members of the Senate when they travel overseas.

“It reads like one of those scene-setters — highly detailed information in terms of Ukraine,” Johnson told Fox News Tuesday.

The email from Hunter to Devon Archer includes a granular 22-point memo the Biden scion described as “thoughts after doing some research.”

Those “thoughts” include the prescient predictions that Petro Poroshenko would be elected Ukraine’s president the following month and that “some sort of decentralization will likely occur in the East.” (Read more from “‘Incredibly Suspicious’ Hunter Biden Email May Be Based on Classified Info: GOP Senator” HERE)

Rookie Georgia Police Officer Resigns After Department Bars Him From Expressing Views on Traditional Marriage

/1 Comment/in , /by

Rookie Georgia police officer Jacob Kersey resigned after his superiors threatened to terminate him for expressing his views on traditional marriage, the Daily Signal reported today.

“I never would have thought I would have been placed in a situation where I have to choose between my Christian faith and my dream job,” 19-year-old Kersey said Wednesday in a Facebook post. “I am grateful for the opportunity that I was given to be a police officer. I do not take that honor and responsibility lightly. However, my integrity and Christian beliefs are at the core of who I am, and I will not abandon them,” he added.

Kersey’s career in law enforcement was cut short following a brief Facebook post on January 2, 2023, the Daily Signal reported. In the post, he expressed a widely-held religious belief that marriage, designed by God, does not include homosexual unions.

“God designed marriage. Marriage refers to Christ and the church,” Kersey said in the post. “That’s why there is no such thing as homosexual marriage,” the post concluded.

The next day, Kersey’s supervisor requested he remove the post; Kersey refused, and was warned he could be terminated if he did not comply, according to the Daily Signal’s reporting. Shortly after that, Maj. Bradwick L. Sherrod ordered him to “return everything he had that belonged to the city,” and Kersey was placed on paid administrative leave while the city investigated, the outlet also reported.

Facebook’s Decision on Trump Ban Will Probably Infuriate Liberals

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump has now been fully reinstated on social media. Twitter released him from the bonds of political correctness jail upon Elon Musk’s takeover. Facebook and Instagram have now followed, insisting that “new guardrails” will be constructed to “deter repeat offenses” (via NBC News):

Former President Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts are being reinstated, the social media giant Meta announced Wednesday — a little more than two years after he was suspended from the platforms over incendiary posts on the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.

Nick Clegg, president of global affairs at Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, said Trump’s accounts will be reinstated “in the coming weeks” and come with “new guardrails in place to deter repeat offenses.”

Those guardrails will include “heightened penalties for repeat offenses — penalties which will apply to other public figures whose accounts are reinstated from suspensions related to civil unrest under our updated protocol. In the event that Mr. Trump posts further violating content, the content will be removed and he will be suspended for between one month and two years, depending on the severity of the violation,” Clegg said on the company’s website.

Swalwell Makes Weird Threat After Speaker McCarthy Kicks Him off of Intel Committee (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) complained on Wednesday to reporters a day after Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) removed him and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) from the House Intelligence Committee, saying McCarthy will regret making the decision.

McCarthy made it clear that due to Schiff’s and Swalwell’s past behavior, they are not qualified to sit on such a high-ranking committee. Swalwell said McCarthy’s statement has led to death threats.

“Even though we have said publicly, these smears are bringing death threats, he continues to do it, which makes us believe that there’s an intent behind it. But we will not be quiet. We’re not going away. I think he’ll regret giving all three of us more time on our hands,” Swalwell said. “But at the end of the day, our mission now is to restore the credibility and integrity of this institution, of which the Speaker has so gravely, so gravely smashed and destroyed.”

Pelosis Sold Google Stock Just Before DOJ Announced Antitrust Lawsuit

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic California Rep. Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul, unloaded more than $1.5 million in Alphabet stock one month before the Department of Justice announced an antitrust lawsuit against the tech giant.

The Pelosis sold 30,000 shares of Alphabet, the holding company for Google and several other firms, on Dec. 20, 21, and 28. They received between $1.5 million and $3 million for the total sale, netting capital gains of more than $600, according to a financial disclosure form Pelosi, filed on Jan. 12. The DOJ announced its lawsuit against Alphabet on Tuesday.

Pelosi’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller’s request for comment on the matter.

The DOJ’s lawsuit alleges that Google has systematically bought out competitors and used its advertising to promote its own products. Alphabet stock dropped $2.71 on Tuesday, but has risen $6.04 since Pelosi sold her stock. (Read more from “Pelosis Sold Google Stock Just Before DOJ Announced Antitrust Lawsuit” HERE)
