Bryan Kohberger Could Face Firing Squad If Convicted of Idaho Students’ Murder

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bryan Kohberger could face a firing squad if convicted of killing four college students in Idaho.

Kohberger, 28, a criminal-justice doctoral student, has been charged in the Nov. 13 stabbing deaths of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20 and Xana Kernodle, 20.

Prosecutors have not said whether they plan to pursue the death penalty against Kohberger if he is convicted, but it is certainly possible considering the heinous crime.

Enter GOP state lawmaker Rep. Bruce Skaug.

Skaug, chairman of the state House Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee, last week introduced a bill that would bring back the firing squad as a legal form of execution in Idaho, according to the East Idaho News.

GOP Senator Suggests Biden Is ‘Compromised’ by China Because He ‘Won’t Stand Up to Dictators’

/0 Comments/in , /by

GOP Florida Sen. Rick Scott on Sunday accused President Biden of repeatedly “pacifying” China and suggested the commander in chief may be “compromised” somehow by the Communist country.

Scott told John Catsimatidis on his WABC 770 AM radio show that no American company should be doing business in China or Russia, saying the US must “focus on what’s good for America, what’s good for Americans, what’s good for our children, our grandchildren.

“​All that Biden does is pacify China. I mean, I don’t know why he does it​. I don’t know if he’s compromised. I don’t know what it is​. But ​this is a guy that won’t stand up to dictators around the world​,” Scott said.

The president has had to deflect questions for months about his role in first son Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine and China, which were first reported by The Post in October and November 2020.

Scott reiterated comments he made on Twitter last week in response to a poll that showed Americans are now more concerned with China’s influence around the world than Russia’s, and that 58% disapprove of how Biden is handling relations with Beijing.

Dwyane Wade’s Child Legally Changes ID to Female despite Birth Mother’s Opposition

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ex-NBA star Dwyane Wade’s son, born Zion Malachi Airamis Wade, has legally changed his first name to Zaya in an L.A. court on Friday and is now officially a “female,” even in the face of opposition over the move from his birth mother.

The teen, who has gone by Zaya since 2020 and wants to be seen as a girl, also won permission from the Los Angeles Superior Court to change gender markers on official documents, according to People.

Wade’s son first came out as transgender in 2020 and made his first appearance as a transgender girl in March of that year.

That “re-introduction” came a month after the couple went public to proudly support the boy, who decided to be known as a girl named Zaya going forward. (Read more from “Dwyane Wade’s Child Legally Changes ID to Female despite Birth Mother’s Opposition” HERE)

Tennessee Legislature Passes Bill to Ban Drag Shows in Front of Kids

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill that would prevent drag shows from taking place on public property or in front of children.

The bill classifies “male and female impersonators” as adult cabaret performers, while also banning “adult-oriented performances that are harmful to minors.” The legislation, SB3, now makes its way to Republican Gov. Bill Lee’s office.

State Rep. Chris Todd, R-Madison County, filed the bill, saying “this is a common sense child-safety bill.” The bill, which passed by a vote of 79 to 19, makes it illegal to host an “adult cabaret performance” in a location where children are present. The legislation, which was proposed by Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson also bans adult cabaret performances on public property.

Cabaret performers are defined as “topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic dancers, strippers, [and] male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest.”

Elon Musk Slams Dilbert Backlash as ‘Racist’ Against Whites (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twitter CEO Elon Musk is slamming the fallout over Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams’ comments bashing Blacks as “racist” against whites.

Newspapers across the nation have dropped the Dilbert comic strip since Adams unleashed a tirade Wednesday on his YouTube program saying that white people should “get the hell away from Black people.” Adams also called Black people a “hate group,” adding: “I don’t want to have anything to do with them.” Adams has continued to defend his comments.

In a series of tweets responding to the uproar on Sunday, Musk insisted that “the media is racist,” and the backlash against Adams is “racist against whites.”

“For a *very* long time, US media was racist against non-white people, now they’re racist against whites & Asians,” Musk tweeted. “Same thing happened with elite colleges & high schools in America. Maybe they can try not being racist.”

Musk did agree with another tweet that said “Adams’ comments weren’t good,” but which also added that ” there’s an element of truth” to them. Musk indicated in another reply that media organizations promote a “false narrative” by giving more coverage to unarmed Black victims of police violence than they do to unarmed White victims of police violence.

Chinese Military Warns U.S. Navy Plane to Stay Away or ‘Pay Full Responsibility’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Chinese military had a warning for the U.S. after an encounter escalated tensions between the two countries.

A U.S. Navy P-8 plane was recently flying 30 miles outside the South China Sea when it received a radio call from China to move away from its airspace.

“No approaching anymore, or you will pay full responsibility,” an operative of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) said over the radio.

Lt. Nikki Slaughter, who was piloting the U.S. Navy P-8 aircraft at the time, quickly responded just as a Chinese jet armed with air-to-air missiles came up alongside them.

“PLA fighter aircraft, this is U.S. Navy P-8A. I have you off my left wing, and I intend to proceed to the west. I request that you do the same, over,” Slaughter said. (Read more from “Chinese Military Warns U.S. Navy Plane to Stay Away or ‘Pay Full Responsibility'” HERE)

West Point Said Applicants Needed the COVID Vaccine Weeks after Mandate Ended

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point affirmed a COVID-19 vaccination requirement for incoming cadets weeks after the Secretary of Defense did away with the military vaccine mandate, according to a spokesperson and separate communications viewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

West Point had revoked travel restrictions for unvaccinated members as of Jan. 31, according to an official Army order obtained by the DCNF and an academy spokesperson, and as of Friday the Army formally repealed all internal COVID-19 vaccine requirements in line with Department of Defense (DOD) orders from earlier in January. Yet even in late February, after the application deadline had passed, the academy’s admissions office confirmed a vaccination requirement for incoming new cadets, according to West Point communications viewed by the DCNF and a spokesperson.

“There is no telling how many potential cadets this arbitrary mandate has dissuaded from serving our nation,” Republican Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana told the DCNF.

West Point’s application deadline for high school seniors occurs in early February, according to the website. (Read more from “West Point Said Applicants Needed the COVID Vaccine Weeks after Mandate Ended” HERE)

‘Biden Showered with His Daughter’: WH Comms in Hot Water after Sharing Tweet

/1 Comment/in , , /by

White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates found himself in hot water Wednesday after sharing a video from an account mocking President Joe Biden.

Bates shared a video of White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre that had been posted by Greg Price, the senior digital strategist at XStrategies LLC and a former Daily Caller social media coordinator. Before Bates shared the clip, Price had temporarily changed his account name to “Joe Biden Showered With His Daughter,” causing the moniker to show up under Bates’ post.

Bates also retweeted Price’s original tweet containing the video, apparently without noticing Price’s account name.

In the video from Thursday’s press briefing, Jean-Pierre lamented the alleged “bad faith attacks” against Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg over his handling of the train derailment and toxic chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio.

New Details Emerge in Shocking Suicide of Clinton-Linked Billionaire

/0 Comments/in , , /by

New details emerged Friday in the shocking suicide of billionaire financier Thomas H. Lee — including how he was found in his office bathroom with a single gunshot wound to his head and his Smith & Wesson revolver next to him, police sources told The Post.

Lee, 78, was discovered by a female assistant on the floor of the bathroom in his office at the Fifth Avenue headquarters of his eponymous financial firm shortly after 11 a.m. Thursday, sources said. . .

The uber-connected Lee, who was married and had five children, “was regarded as having one of the most admired houses in the Hamptons — Bill and Hillary Clinton were frequent guests, they would regularly stay there,’’ the source said. . .

A graduate of Harvard University, Lee was perhaps best known for leveraging a massive buyout of Snapple in 1994. He was also an avid art collector with influential pals such as the Clintons, who famously holed up at his Hamptons pad after the 2008 Democratic primary.
