/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump touted his White House experience and vowed to “deal with the RINOs” in a marathon speech Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where he easily won the 2024 presidential straw poll.

Trump seemed eager to settle scores with members of both parties after a turbulent first term and his re-election loss in 2020. Calling the 2024 contest “the final battle,” Trump acknowledged in the event’s keynote address that he is wiser now about the way Washington works.

“We’ll appropriately deal with the RINOs,” he said, referring to “Republicans In Name Only.” “We will never go back to the party of Paul Ryan, Karl Rove and Jeb Bush.”

Trump won the support of 62% of respondents at the annual event’s straw poll, held this year in Fort Washington, MD. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who did not attend, came in second with 20%, and third place went to Michigan billionaire Perry Johnson.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Self-help author Marianne Williamson officially declared her 2024 presidential run against President Joe Biden, vowing to fight “forces of hatred, injustice, and fear.”

“I, as of today, am a candidate for the office of president of the United States. Williamson said at her campaign kickoff event at Washington D.C.’s Union Station. “The status quo will not disrupt itself… that’s our job.”

Williamson, who unsuccessfully ran for president in 2020, is taking another shot at the White House, being the first Democrat to primary challenge Biden.

“We know that this country is plagued by many challenges now, not the least of which is hatred and division, which is greater than any of us have experienced national life. It is our job to create a vision of justice and love that is so powerful that it will override the forces of hatred and injustice and fear,” the Democrat continued.

Williamson was a one-time spiritual advisor to Oprah Winfrey and views the current state of America as a country with “broken windows” filled with poverty and despair, adding that “half the people in this city don’t even notice [despair].” (Read more from “Biden’s First Official 2024 Primary Challenger Is a Meditating Hippy Who Preaches the ‘Politics of Love’” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rhode Island mom Nicole Solas slammed an area teachers’ union she claimed harassed her and made her the topic of a “secret meeting” after she made a records request regarding the district’s curriculum.

“They painted me like a wanted enemy of the state simply because I submitted public records requests,” Solas told Fox News’ Rachel Campos Duffy Sunday on “Fox & Friends Weekend.”

“There were 250 teachers that attended where they were alerted to me being an attack on public education,” she later added.

Solas, who was sued by her daughter’s school district last year, said presentation slides condemning her at the secret meeting were leaked to her by a teacher.

She also alleged that the person who created the slides containing pictures of her was a middle school math teacher. (Read more from “Mom Says Teachers’ Union Treated Her Like ‘Enemy of the State’ After Asking About Curriculum” HERE)

‘Ridiculous’: Jill Biden suggests Joe will never take competency test

/0 Comments/in , /by

​First lady Jill Biden on Sunday said it was “ridiculous’’ to consider GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley’s call to mandate mental competency tests for pols over 75, suggesting President Biden would never take one.

​Jill Biden said she and ​her husband — who at age 80 is the oldest commander in chief in US history and would be 82 at his inauguration if reelected — would “never even discuss something like that.

“Ridiculous,” Jill Biden responded when asked about Haley’s idea in a snippet of an interview that aired Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Jill Biden — whose full interview will air at ​9 p.m. Monday — pointed to the president’s surprise trip last month to Ukraine to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky to mark the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion as proof of the commander-in-chief’s stamina.

“How many 30-year-olds could travel to Poland, get on the train? Go nine more hours, go to Ukraine, meet with President Zelensky?” she said. “So, look at the man. Look what he’s doing. Look what he continues to do each and every day.”​ (Read more from “‘Ridiculous’: Jill Biden suggests Joe will never take competency test” HERE)

Sen. Dan Sullivan: White House Should Send F-16S to Ukraine Now

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senior Defense Department officials were leaning toward supplying Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets until President Biden quashed the idea this year, Sen. Dan Sullivan said Sunday.

The Alaska Republican sent a letter about Ukraine’s urgent need for fighter jets to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, after hosting a delegation of Ukrainian pilots last summer on Capitol Hill.

“It looked like it was moving well through the bureaucracy of the Pentagon,” Mr. Sullivan said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

But that momentum came to a grinding halt in January after Mr. Biden responded with a terse “no” to a reporter’s question about providing Kyiv with fighter jets.

“And then, last week the national security adviser [Jake Sullivan] says, ‘Well, we’re not going to do F-16s for now,’” said Mr. Sullivan, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. “That’s exactly the wrong approach.” (Read more from “Sen. Dan Sullivan: White House Should Send F-16S to Ukraine Now” HERE)

Credibility Crisis: ‘60 Minutes’ Tries Turning Back the Clock After Declaring COVID Lab Leak Theory ‘Debunked’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The once-respected CBS News program “60 Minutes” attempted to set the record straight about the origins of COVID nearly a year after declaring the lab-leak theory “debunked.”

In recent days, the theory that COVID originated from a lab leak in Wuhan had been embraced by FBI Director Christopher Wray and a bombshell report indicated that the U.S. Energy Department believes the virus likely started in the lab.

However, back in May 2020, CBS News’ Scott Pelley cast significant doubt on the Trump administration’s assertions of the theory, telling viewers “both the White House and the Chinese Communist Party have been less than honest.”

Instead, Pelley hyped the credibility of Peter Daszak, president of the group EcoHealth Alliance and one of the world’s most vocal foes of the lab-leak theory. EcoHealth Alliance received government funding from the National Institutes of Health and has had a long working partnership with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which is now widely believed to be ground zero for the COVID pandemic.

The “60 Minutes” correspondent praised the work of EcoHealth-WIV at the time as being “critical right now.” (Read more from “Credibility Crisis: ‘60 Minutes’ Tries Turning Back the Clock After Declaring COVID Lab Leak Theory ‘Debunked’” HERE)

Biden Vows New Election Laws in ‘Bloody Sunday’ Speech, Accuses GOP of Assault on Voting Rights

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden on Sunday recommitted his pledge to implement long-stalled Democratic plans to overhaul election laws when he commemorated the 58th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday civil rights march.

Speaking with a backdrop of the infamous Edmund Pettus Bridge, where civil rights activists were beaten by police in a 1965 march for voting rights, Mr. Biden delivered a clear signal he will seek a second term in the White House and is depending on Black voters to deliver the win.

Although he has yet to make an official reelection announcement, Mr. Biden sought to shore up the crucial Black vote by demonstrating he’s not giving up on legislation Democrats say would expand voting access. He also accused Republicans of seeking to roll back voting rights.

“The right to vote and to have your vote counted is the threshold of democracy and liberty. With it, anything’s possible. Without that right, nothing is possible and this fundamental right remains under assault,” Mr. Biden said. “The conservative Supreme Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act over the years. Since the 2020 election, a wave of states and dozens — dozens — of anti-voting laws fueled by the ‘big lie’ and the election deniers now elected to office.”

Mr. Biden pushed several Democratic-led bills that died in the last Congress. Critics say the legislation would nationalize U.S. elections and impose rules designed to boost Democratic candidates.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By First Post. Hungary called for “European NATO” that should be free from the influence of America. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said he believes that the US is dragging Europe into a conflict that cannot be won and risks a global war. . .

“The solution would be a European NATO,” the Hungarian PM was quoted as saying by Swiss Weltwoche.

He further claimed that desire of the US for further expansion of its influence has led to the tensions between the West and Russia. . .

Referring to his conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin few weeks ahead of the start of Ukraine war, the Hungarian PM claimed that Moscow was concerned about NATO expanding further east into Ukraine and Georgia.

Orban said that Putin told him “his problem was with the American missile bases in Poland and Romania and possible NATO expansion in Ukraine and Georgia.” (Read more from “European Prime Minister Says US Dragging West Into World War, Should Be Kicked Out of NATO” HERE)

Ukraine War: Blinken and Russia’s Lavrov Meet as Tension With Moscow Soars and War Grinds On

By CBS News. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov talked briefly Thursday at a meeting of top diplomats from the Group of 20 nations in the first high-level meeting in months between the two countries. U.S. officials said Blinken and Lavrov chatted for roughly 10 minutes on the sidelines of the G-20 conference in New Delhi. The short encounter came as relations between Washington and Moscow have plummeted over Russia’s war on Ukraine.

A senior U.S. official said Blinken used the discussion to make three points to Lavrov: That the U.S. would support Ukraine in the conflict for as long as it takes to bring the war to an end, that Russia should reverse its decision to suspend participation in the New START nuclear treaty and that Moscow should release detained American Paul Whelan.

The official, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity to discuss the private conversation, said Blinken had “disabused” Lavrov of any idea Moscow might have that U.S. support for Ukraine was wavering.

The official declined to characterize Lavrov’s response but said Blinken did not get the impression there would be any change in Russia’s behavior in the near term.

Russia offered no immediate comment on the substance of the conversation, but Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Blinken had asked to speak to Lavrov. (Read more from “Ukraine War: Blinken and Russia’s Lavrov Meet as Tension With Moscow Soars and War Grinds On” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Black students at an Ohio elementary school reportedly forced white students to say “Black Lives Matter,” and when some students balked, beat them up.

Newly-released surveillance video from February 10 at Kenwood Elementary School shows a student in a white shirt taken by two other students to the swings, where a third student knocks him to the ground. Later, another student is carried there and dropped to the ground; lastly, another student gets shoved to the ground.

School Principal Evan Hunsaker stated that “a few of the students who had tried to avoid the situation, were chased down and escorted, dragged, or carried to the spot on the playground. One student was also punched in the head by one of the suspects,” according to a Springfield, Ohio, police report.

“According to a Springfield police report, a group of black students forced white students to say ‘Black Lives Matter’ against their will. Some of the kids were assaulted as this happened,” WHIO reported.

Hunter Biden Advised Joe’s Office on Answering Burisma Queries: Emails

/0 Comments/in , /by

Then-second son Hunter Biden coached then-Vice President Joe Biden’s press secretary on how to respond to media questions about him joining the board of Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings, emails reviewed by The Post show.

The May 13, 2014, exchanges between Hunter and Kendra Barkoff, which have not been previously reported, form the basis of a complaint sent to the Justice Department on Friday alleging that the Biden scion, now 53, violated federal law by failing to register as a foreign agent.

“In advising the Office of the Vice President how to respond to press inquiries about his appointment, Hunter Biden ‘represent[ed] the interests of [a] foreign principal before any agency or official of the Government of the United States,’” America First Legal Foundation general counsel Gene Hamilton wrote to the assistant attorney general for national security, Matthew Olsen, quoting the relevant statute.

Burisma announced Hunter Biden’s appointment to its board of directors on May 12, 2014. The following day, according to the complaint, Barkoff sent Hunter an email saying: “Thanks for talking to me. [L]et me know who I should refer folks to.”

“What exactly are they asking?” Hunter responded. “For the time being I’d just refer them to my office. FYI I joined the board of Burisma Holdings Ltd. (Burisma.com) an independent/private natural gas producer in Ukraine along with the former president of Poland. I think the press release is on their website.” (Read more from “Hunter Biden Advised Joe’s Office on Answering Burisma Queries: Emails” HERE)
