Poll: Post Indictment, Trump Widens Lead Again – Now Has Over 60 Percent Support

/0 Comments/in , /by

A poll indicates that former President Donald Trump has widened his lead in the GOP primary following the Department of Justice’s indictment of him for allegedly mishandling classified documents at his Florida home.

Surveying 1,798 potential voters between June 9-10 with a margin of error ±3.3 points, the CBS News poll showed the former president had 61 percent support in the Republican primary, leading his opponent, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis by a full 38 points – 61 percent to 23 percent. Republican Sen. Tim Scott (SC) stands in third place with just 4 percent of support, just one point ahead of former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.

Regarding the indictment, a plurality of those polled expressed concern that the former president had been targeted for political reasons, not for legal reasons. Per CBS News:

Republican primary voters say they’re far more concerned that Donald Trump’s indictment is politically motivated than his alleged conduct being a national security risk – and there’s no evidence it’s hurt his status as the clear front-runner for the 2024 nomination, at least not yet. He remains well ahead of rivals in both consideration and vote choice.

Foreign Legion Fighter Reports Massive Casualties Among Ukrainian Troops

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Taiwanese volunteer soldier in Ukraine’s foreign legion on Sunday (June 4) uploaded a detailed account of the realities of fighting in the Russo-Ukrainian War.

The Taiwanese soldier, who goes by the handle “I don’t know Mount Lushan” (不識廬山), has recently returned from duty in Ukraine and Sunday uploaded an extremely detailed thread with advice to would-be volunteers considering joining the fight. Topics he covered were the expenses, physical demands, necessary language skills, combat training needed, and the mentality one should possess. . .

The volunteer advised that the lack of sleep and intense physical exertion caused by long missions are taxing. Worse, the soldier warned that the life and death situations on the battlefield, shellshock from constant bombardments, and death of team members can easily “destroy a person’s mind.”

He said that even experienced soldiers can panic and lose their judgment and ability to fight due to fear. The veteran noted that his unit had a casualty rate of 50% and 20% of his teammates were killed in action.

According to the volunteer, his platoon was “annihilated twice” and he was the only member to come out unscathed. Furthermore, he observed that his unit did not fight in the “deadliest war zone.” (Read more from “Foreign Legion Fighter Reports Massive Casualties Among Ukrainian Troops” HERE)

Elon Musk Says Young Kids Who Believe in Santa Cannot Grasp the Idea of ‘Gender’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk, who has been decrying the practice of performing gender-transition measures on children, said in a tweet on Friday that young children who believe in Santa Claus are not capable of comprehending the idea of “gender.”

Musk had previously shared a meme that features a pregnant woman asking a physician whether her child is a boy or a girl, to which the doctor replies, “We’ll let the kindergarten teacher decide.”

Someone replied to Musk’s post by sharing a meme that features a photo of a child and text that reads, “YOU’RE TELLING ME I CAN’T PICK MY BEDTIME BUT I CAN PICK MY GENDER?”

Musk responded, “Kids who are so young they think Santa is literally true obviously cannot understand the concept of ‘gender.'”

Musk has previously indicated that he will lobby to criminalize the performance of gender-transition measures on kids who are younger than the age of consent. (Read more from “Elon Musk Says Young Kids Who Believe in Santa Cannot Grasp the Idea of ‘Gender’” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Cracker Barrel is the latest brand facing a boycott over celebrating Pride month. Cracker Barrel received backlash for proudly announcing that the restaurant chain with southern comfort food was vowing to push DEI initiatives with an LGBTQ+ alliance.

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store shared a post honoring Pride month on its official social media accounts on Thursday. The post featured a photo of a rainbow-colored version of the chain’s iconic rocking chair sitting on the porch. The photo had the caption: “We are excited to celebrate Pride month with our employees and guests. Everyone is always welcome at our table (and our rainbow rocker). Happy Pride!”

The post was shared on the company’s Instagram and Facebook accounts. A majority of the reactions on Facebook approved of the post; however, there were thousands of social media users who railed against the Pride month messaging. Dozens of users vowed to boycott the restaurant chain.

Users asked that the restaurant chain stay out of politics and “stick to biscuits and gravy.” Others threatened to boycott Cracker Barrel and never eat at the restaurant again for promoting “woke” ideologies.

On the Cracker Barrel website, the southern restaurant chain boasted about the company’s “LGBTQ+ Alliance” and “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Team.”

Biden Appears to Claim He Ran for President While He Was VP

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden appeared to claim Friday that he ran for president while serving as vice president.

“I ran for president for a basic reason, I hadn’t planned on running again for president,” Biden said during the event in Rocky Mount, North Carolina where Dr. Jill Biden also spoke.

“I had run while I was vice president, and then — Barack and I spent eight years together — and then the new administration came in and in the meantime, things changed in our life and our family,” Biden continued. “I lost my son. We lost our son in Iraq. Anyway, I hadn’t planned on running.”

Biden did not run for president in either 2012 or 2016, the presidential elections that took place while he held the office of vice president of the United States. Biden announced in October 2015 he would not seek the Democratic nomination for president in the 2016 election, which was won by Republican nominee Donald Trump.

White House Sounds the Alarm on ‘Full-Scale Defense Partnership’ Between Russia and Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russia is providing billions of dollars in military aircraft and equipment in exchange for imports, as well as, ultimately, assistance with building attack drones for use in Ukraine, the White House said in a declassified intelligence report given to news outlets Friday.

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby confirmed that Iran dug in supply lines to transfer the one-way attack drones to Russia through the Caspian sea, which are then provided to Russian forces to attack Ukrainian cities over long distances, according to The Associated Press. Iran has also agreed to provide materials for constructing a drone factory, and as repayment, Iran hopes to acquire Russian warplanes and air defense systems, The Washington Post reported.

“This is a full-scale defense partnership that is harmful to Ukraine, to Iran’s neighbors, and to the international community,” Kirby said, according to the AP.

The White House released satellite imagery of photos taken in April where the factory “will probably be built” in Russia’s Alabuga special economic zone, about 100 miles east of Moscow, according to the AP. U.S. intelligence said the plant could be operational next year. (Read more from “White House Sounds the Alarm on ‘Full-Scale Defense Partnership’ Between Russia and Iran” HERE)

Dem Governor Vetoes Trans Student Bathroom Bill

/0 Comments/in , /by

This week, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, vetoed a bill backed by Republicans that would have put requirements in place regarding which bathrooms transgender students can use.

The legislation, Senate Bill 1040, would have required transgender students to use public school bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their biological sex instead of their gender identity. Legislation like this would protect women’s spaces from males who identify as women, which Townhall has covered.

In her veto letter, Hobbs described the bill as “discriminatory” and claimed that it “harms” transgender children.

“Senate Bill 1040 is yet another discriminatory act against LGBTQ+ youth passed by the majority at the state Legislature,” Hobbs wrote in her veto letter. “I will veto every bill that aims to attack and harm children.” (Read more from “Dem Governor Vetoes Trans Student Bathroom Bill” HERE)

Radical Bill Would Classify Not Affirming Child’s Transgenderism as ‘Child Abuse’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A recently amended California bill would classify not affirming a child’s gender identity by one or both parents as “child abuse.”

AB 957 was introduced into the California legislature by Assemblymember Lori Wilson (D-Suisun City) and state Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco). The bill rewrites much of the state’s family law and classifies “a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child.”

The bill amends Section 3011 of the Family Code, which deals with child custody disputes, and requires that a court determining the “best interests” of the child must consider affirmation of transgender identity. If a parent were to deny the child’s “gender identity,” it would be a violation of the child’s health, safety, and welfare — equivalent to child abuse.

Because the bill changes the definition of what constitutes the “health, safety, and welfare” of a child, any organization interacting with children — including schools, churches, and hospitals — would be required to affirm gender transitions in minors.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that Wilson’s spokesman disputed the claim that the revisions change anything about the bill and stated that AB 957 relates only to family law, not criminal law.

Liberal News Host Melts Down After Guest Points Out Hypocrisy in Trump Indictment; See Trump’s Newest Ad

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos flipped out after former Trump attorney Jim Trusty pointed out the hypocrisy in the politically motivated indictment against the 45th president, pointing out that President Joe Biden also had several classified documents in his possession.

Trusty was asked if he believes in the idea that “no person is above the law” before asking whether he agrees Trump should be charged.

In response, the attorney agreed with the principle that no one should be above the law, adding, “You’ve got these investigations in Delaware that are 1,000 times more serious by a sitting president who has authorized his DOJ [Department of Justice] to try to sink the candidacy of his prime opposition while that guy has unsecured documents that he stole out of a skiff dozens of years ago. Look, we’re not talking –”

Stephanopoulos interjected, calling his comments ridiculous.

“What are you talking about?” The Left-wing host said. “What are you talking about?” (Read more from “Liberal News Host Melts Down After Guest Points Out Hypocrisy in Trump Indictment” HERE)

Saudi Crown Prince Threatened U.S. ‘Economic Consequences’ During Feud Over Oil Production: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Saudi crown prince privately threatened “major economic consequences” against the US last fall if the Biden administration retaliated against its decision to slash oil production, a new report revealed.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman made the threat after President Biden promised unspecified “consequences” for Saudi Arabia over the kingdom’s decision to cut oil production during a time of high energy prices, according to a classified document obtained by The Washington Post.

The crown prince claimed in private that “he will not deal with the U.S. administration anymore” and promised “major economic consequences for Washington,” according to the document.

A second leaked document from December warned that Saudi plans to expand its “transactional relationship” with China by procuring drones, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and mass surveillance systems from Beijing.

Biden has not followed through on his word, despite Saudi Arabia’s recent pledge to cut oil production by a further 1 million barrels per day starting in July. (Read more from “Saudi Crown Prince Threatened U.S. ‘Economic Consequences’ During Feud Over Oil Production: Report” HERE)
