Karine Jean-Pierre Stonewalls Questions on Biden’s Unacknowledged Grandchild

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to answer questions about Hunter Biden and his four-year-old daughter Navy, President Joe Biden’s unacknowledged seventh grandchild, on Tuesday.

Navy lives with her mother, former stripper Lunden Roberts, in Arkansas. Roberts is currently battling with the president’s son in court over $20,000 monthly paternity payments, which Hunter is seeking to have decreased, according to CNN.

Asked about the paternity case and the White House’s failure to acknowledge Navy, Jean-Pierre refused to answer.

“I wanted to ask about the trial going on in Arkansas with Hunter Biden and the child support. Are the president and first lady monitoring that? And how come they haven’t acknowledged the seventh grandchild?” asked Emily Goodwin, U.S. politics reporter for the U.K.’s Daily Mail.

“I’m not going to speak to that from here,” answered Jean-Pierre.

Transgender Montana Lawmaker’s Appeal to Return to State House Floor Denied by Judge

/0 Comments/in , /by

Transgender Montana lawmaker Zooey Zephyr’s appeal to return to the state’s House floor was denied by a judge.

Judge Mike Menahan of the state’s First District Court, a Democrat and former representative, said in a five-page response letter that he did not have the authority to intervene in the legislative dispute, the New York Times reported. Zephyr had filed the lawsuit on Monday, protesting the lawmaker’s censure after a series of provocative comments and rowdy demonstrations by Zephyr’s supporters.

Zephyr’s lawsuit claimed that the lawmaker’s First Amendment right to free speech was being violated by the censure.

“The lawsuit alleges that recent actions undertaken by House leadership to silence Representative Zephyr are a violation of [the lawmaker’s] own First Amendment rights and the rights of [Zephyr’s] 11,000 constituents to representation in their state government,” a release by the ACLU, which is representing Zephyr, stated. The lawsuit demanded that Zephyr’s censure be immediately revoked. (Read more from “Transgender Montana Lawmaker’s Appeal to Return to State House Floor Denied by Judge” HERE)

Bud Light’s Sales Keep Plummeting After Partnering With Transgender Influencer Dylan Mulvaney

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bud Light’s sales have tanked in the month since it announced its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

In-store sales of the beer brand fell more than 26% in the week ended April 22, alcoholic beverage industry consultant Bump Williams told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

That’s after sales declined by 21% the week before and 11% before that, signaling the trend is only getting worse for parent company Anheuser-Busch ahead of the lucrative summer season.

“Bud Light is in serious trouble this year,” Mr. Williams told the newspaper. “I think it runs the risk of losing that No. 1 position at the end of calendar year 2023 to Modelo Especial.”

Bud Light was America’s best-selling beer last year, raking in $4.8 billion in sales compared with $3.75 billion from next closest competitor Modelo Especial. (Read more from “Bud Light’s Sales Keep Plummeting After Partnering With Transgender Influencer Dylan Mulvaney” HERE)

Transurrection: Another Left-Wing Capitol Takeover, This Time in Texas (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Left-wing activists have mounted another “insurrection” in a state capitol, this time disrupting a session of the Texas state legislature in Austin, taking over the gallery Tuesday before being forcibly removed by police.

The liberal Texas Tribune reported:

Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan abruptly cleared the public from the chamber’s gallery Tuesday, after LGBTQ Texans and parents of transgender kids chanted in opposition of a bill that would ban transition-related care for children.

Phelan ordered state police to clear the gallery just as Senate Bill 14 came to the House floor and as opponents began their chants and unrolled banners in support of trans kids. As bill opponents started filing out of the gallery, they chanted, “Trans rights are human rights.”

Biden to Send Active-Duty Marines, Soldiers to U.S.-Mexico Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration announced Tuesday that it would deploy 1,500 active-duty troops to the southern border to help deal with an expected wave of illegal immigrants starting next week.

The soldiers and Marines won’t be making arrests but will be assigned to support duties, including bringing more eyes to the border to keep tabs on illegal activity. The goal is to free up Customs and Border Protection personnel to perform their regular duties.

The Department of Homeland Security needs the help because the Biden administration will give up its Title 42 pandemic power to expel illegal immigrants on May 11, when the COVID-19 emergency expires. Title 42 has allowed CBP to immediately expel some illegal immigrants, and the tactic has helped keep the chaotic border from turning catastrophic.

The 90-day troop deployment marks an escalation of the country’s border defenses and is a retreat for President Biden. He had promised a more welcoming approach at the border but has been forced to use some of President Trump’s tactics to quell border chaos.

Past administrations have generally tapped the National Guard for border duty, but the Pentagon said it is sending active-duty troops this time — at least at first. Officials said they hope reservists can be rotated into duty and that Homeland Security eventually hires contractors to fill the troops’ jobs.

Mom Says She Realized Her Biological Daughter Was Trans Because She Liked Vegetables (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Louisiana mother said in a House Health and Welfare Committee hearing on Tuesday that she knew that her biological daughter was transgender due to her liking vegetables.

The mother testified to the committee during discussions on House Bill 463, which would create the “Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act” and prohibit “certain procedures to alter the sex of a minor child.”

She said she knew that her biological daughter was a boy because her “food choices were odd. They were always like green vegetables, raw green vegetables.” The mother said she had taken her child to specialists and neurologists, and there were also brain scans to figure out why the child could not sleep.

She continued to say that her child’s patterns as a child and eating vegetables boosted testosterone, and they were “just methods of his body trying to become who he was meant to be.” The mother added that her child’s “brain does not match his physiology.”

Detransitioner Chloe Cole, who is known for her work fighting against sex change surgeries for minors, also spoke at the hearing. She spoke about her experience transitioning as a 13-year-old girl and called transitioning the “worst medical scandal in American history.”

Biden’s CIA Director Met With Jeffrey Epstein Multiple Times After Child Sex Crimes Conviction

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Newly released documents revealed Biden-appointed CIA Director William Burns met with deceased financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein on multiple occasions after he was convicted of sex crimes in Florida, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports.

The private calendar and emails show Epstein scheduled three meetings with Burns in 2014 when Burns was deputy secretary of state under President Obama, according to WSJ. Their first meeting was planned for August in the Washington, DC office of law firm Steptoe & Johnson and the next two were booked for Epstein’s Manhattan, New York townhouse, the documents show. Epstein planned on having Burns taken back to the airport after one of the scheduled meetings.

A CIA spokesperson told WSJ Burns met with Epstein as he was preparing to leave the government and did not know anything about him. “The director did not know anything about him, other than that he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector and offered general advice on transition to the private sector,” CIA spokesperson Tammy Kupperman Thorp told the outlet. “They had no relationship.”

Burns recalled meeting Epstein once in New York after they were introduced by a mutual friend, Thorp told WSJ. “The director does not recall any further contact, including receiving a ride to the airport.”

Burns left government in October 2014 to become president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a prominent foreign policy think tank based in Washington, DC. He was appointed CIA Director by President Biden in 2021. A career diplomat, he previously served as ambassador to Russia from 2005-08.

Biden, Obama Official Had Private Meetings With Epstein After Sex Crime Convictions

By Townhall. Jeffry Epstein’s private calendar reveals an official who served under the Obama and Biden Administrations had close ties to the convicted late sex offender.

William Burns, who became the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director during the Biden administration, also a college president and attorney who served with former President Barack Obama, had scheduled meetings with Epstein several times after the pedophile was convicted of child sex crimes.

Three scheduled meetings were slated to occur after Epstein was jailed in 2008 in Washington D.C. and Epstein’s townhome in Manhattan, New York. However, it is unclear if each scheduled meeting took place or the purpose of the sessions.

A CIA spokesperson claimed Burns had met with Epstein because, in 2014, the director wanted to leave his current government position. (Read more from “Biden, Obama Official Had Private Meetings With Epstein After Sex Crime Convictions” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. The Navy brought on an active-duty drag queen to participate in a pilot program aimed at reaching a wider audience through popular social media platforms as the military faces severe recruiting woes, a Navy spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, stage name Harpy Daniels, announced the Navy invited him to become the first “Navy Digital Ambassador” in a November 2022 social media post, highlighting his journey from performing on deck in 2018 to becoming a “leader” and “advocate” of people who “were oppressed for years in the service.” The Digital Ambassador initiative in which Kelley participated ran from October 2022 to March 2023 and was “designed to explore the digital environment to reach a wide range of potential candidates,” the Navy spokesperson said.

The Digital Ambassador initiative concluded in April, and the Navy is now evaluating the program to consider what form it will take in the future, the spokesperson told the DCNF. . .

Kelley said he was “hand selected as one of four Navy Digital Ambassadors” in a social media post. (Read more from “US Navy Used Drag Queen Influencer to Attract a ‘Wide Range’ of New Troops as Recruitment Plummets” HERE)

Top Military Officials Questioned Over Drag Shows on Military Bases

By Rebecca Kheel. . .[C]onservative firebrand Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., grilled Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley on several recent drag events that have become extensively discussed in conservative media, including a planned “Drag Queen Storytime” that Ramstein Air Base, Germany, canceled last year after GOP criticism.

“I’d like to take a look at those myself and find out what actually is going on there because that’s the first I’m hearing about that kind of stuff,” Milley said after Gaetz read several headlines from conservative outlets about the drag events. “I’d like to take a look at those because I don’t agree with those. I think those things shouldn’t be happening.”

A spokesperson for Milley told Military.com after the hearing that the general was expressing opposition to the use of taxpayer funding for non-military activities on military bases. (Read more from “Top Military Officials Questioned Over Drag Shows on Military Bases” HERE)

Justice Alito Has ‘Good Idea’ of Who Leaked Dobbs Opinion; Suggests Motive Was Assassination

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said that he has a “pretty good” idea who was behind the leak of the court’s decision on overturning Roe v. Wade — and that the leak made the justices targets for possible assassination.

Alito, who authored the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision that ruled there is no constitutional right to abortion, made the comments in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

“I personally have a pretty good idea who is responsible, but that’s different from the level of proof that is needed to name somebody,” Alito said: “It was a part of an effort to prevent the Dobbs draft … from becoming the decision of the court. And that’s how it was used for those six weeks by people on the outside — as part of the campaign to try to intimidate the court.”

Alito said that the Supreme Court “did a good job with the resources that were available,” but said that the evidence was not strong enough for an official designation of guilt. (Read more from “Justice Alito Has ‘Good Idea’ of Who Leaked Dobbs Opinion; Suggests Motive Was Assassination” HERE)

Southern Poverty Law Center ‘Hate’ List Suffers Legal Setback

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Southern Poverty Law Center’s famous list of “hate” groups is under fire in a courtroom in Alabama, where a judge has opened the door for a group that opposes illegal immigration to challenge the SPLC for slapping it with the Scarlet H.

The Georgia-based Dustin Inman Society and founder D.A. King say they work against illegal immigration but have no problem with legal immigrants. Indeed, some legal immigrants are on the organization’s board, and Mr. King’s adopted sister is an immigrant.

He says it’s defamation for the SPLC to call him an “anti-immigrant hate group.”

The SPLC asked a judge to toss the case, but U.S. District Judge W. Keith Watkins refused in a ruling last week. He said Mr. King should have a chance to develop his case and seek more evidence against the SPLC through discovery.

“Plaintiffs have ‘nudged’ their defamation claims — premised on SPLC’s designation of DIS as an ‘anti-immigrant hate group’ — ‘across the line from conceivable to plausible,’” Judge Watkins wrote. (Read more from “Southern Poverty Law Center ‘Hate’ List Suffers Legal Setback” HERE)
