GOP Rep. Says Cocaine Not First Drug Discovered at White House Under Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert said on Thursday that cocaine was not the first drug discovered at the White House during the Biden administration, according to a new report.

Boebert said that marijuana had been found at the White House twice since 2022, according to Just the News. Boebert’s comments come after the Secret Service announced that it had closed the probe into the cocaine found at the White House without any suspects.

“This is the third time that drugs have been found on the White House property since 2022, and we did not even hear about the marijuana,” she said. “I certainly did not hear about the marijuana that was found in 2022, two times, and now there’s cocaine on the property. So everything they do is to move along to the next story. They know there will be another Biden crime crisis.”

NBC News reported that uniformed division officers had previously found marijuana possessed by two White House guests. The marijuana was reportedly in quantities under Washington, D.C.’s legal limit, and the visitors were still instructed not to bring marijuana back to the White House. (Read more from “GOP Rep.

WATCH: Things Turn Extremely Weird When Massie Corners Wray About the Elusive DNC Pipe Bomb…

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A recent interaction between Rep. Massie and the discredited FBI Director Chris Wray has drawn a lot of attention due to Wray’s bizarre behavior when Massie cornered him on the sketchy DNC pipe bomb story. As you’re probably aware by now, the FBI’s DNC pipe bomb narrative doesn’t make sense, and when questioned about the numerous inconsistencies, the feds act extremely strangely and clam up. Consequently, the pipe bomb story piqued our interest early on. Revolver’s own Darren Beattie and his team were responsible for bringing the elusive pipe bomb story into the mainstream conversation through their top-notch investigative reporting. In fact, Thomas Massie sought out Darren for guidance before questioning the FBI whistleblowers on this very topic. . .

So many aspects of this story just don’t “jibe.” So, when Massie confronted Wray about it, the tension in the room was palpable. Here’s what went down between the two men (Columbia Bugle):

FBI Director Christopher Wray Refuses To Answer @RepThomasMassie’s Questions About The January 6th Pipe Bombs, The Bizarre Circumstances Surrounding Their Discovery And The Missing Phone Data That Could Have Helped Identify The Bomber

Rep. Massie and Rep. @Jim_Jordan sent Director Wray a letter a month ago demanding answers about the pipe bomber after testimony by the Former Head of the FBI January Pipe Bomb Investigation Steven D’Antuono revealed that geofencing data that could have helped to identify the January pipe bomber was mysteriously “CORRUPTED”.

Rep. Massie: “We can handle classified information and we fund your department so you need to provide that.”

‘Joe Biden Will Have to Answer’: Comer Promises to Reveal Identity of Whistleblower X

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said next week’s IRS whistleblower hearing will raise “questions that Joe Biden will have to answer” while revealing a witness’s identity.

“The American people are going to get to watch live both whistleblowers, including ‘Whistleblower X,’ who has never revealed his identity. He’ll do that the day of our hearing, and everyone can see,” Comer told Hannity.

“We have specific substantive questions about many of these wires, about many of these shell companies, about potential money laundering, about potential racketeering, and I believe that these two witnesses are going to be able to anchor those questions,” he added.

Comer said he expects the whistleblowers’ testimony will make for a “very productive” step forward in the Oversight Committee’s investigation into the alleged “criminal bribery scheme” between Hunter Biden, then-Vice President Joe Biden, and “foreign national” Mykola Zlochevsky, the Ukrainian owner of Burisma.

House Tees up NDAA Fight Over Pentagon’s Woke Policies, Military Abortion, Ukraine Cluster Bombs

/0 Comments/in , /by

The annual Pentagon policy bill is back on track after a House panel advanced a slew of hot-button amendments, signaling that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy struck a deal with hardline conservatives.

The House Rules Committee worked into the wee hours of Thursday morning to hammer out a final round of amendments for the National Defense Authorization Act that sets up a vote on the House floor.

Of the more than 1,200 amendments left to parse through, the House panel advanced 80. In all, 70 are from GOP members, four from Democrats, and the rest are bipartisan.

Most of the 80 amendments were drafted by the House Freedom Caucus, with some threatening to divide the Republican conference and guaranteeing a showdown with the Democrat-run Senate.

The amendments include ending the Pentagon’s policy of paying transportation for service members to get out-of-state abortions, halting defense money going toward transgender-related medical services, and gutting equity, diversion and inclusivity training in the military.

Poll: Most Republicans Say Donald Trump Is the ‘Strongest Candidate’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Most Republicans believe former President Donald Trump is the “strongest candidate” for the party in 2024, the latest survey from the Economist/YouGov found.

The survey, taken July 8-11, 2023, asked respondents, “Do you think that Donald Trump is the strongest candidate that Republicans could nominate for president in 2024?”

Most Republicans, 55 percent, expressed the belief that Trump is, indeed, the strongest candidate the GOP could nominate for president in the upcoming presidential election. Another 30 percent said he is not, and 15 percent remained unsure.

Notably, the results from this week’s survey represent a one-point increase from the 54 percent of Republicans who said, “Yes,” Trump is the strongest candidate, in May.

That coincides with over half of Republicans, 52 percent, who choose Trump as their candidate of choice in the crowded 2024 presidential field. That figure drops to 48 percent among registered Republicans and independents who lean Republican. Even so, Trump is still 26 points ahead of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who garnered 22 percent support in this particular survey among registered Republicans and independents who lean Republican.

Over-The-Counter Birth Control Pills Coming to a Store Near You in 2024

/0 Comments/in , /by

Women nationwide will no longer need a doctor’s prescription for birth control pills — by next year, they will be able to pick them up off the shelves at any drug store.

On Thursday the Food Drug and Administration (FDA) approved the hormonal birth control pill Opill for over-the-counter (OTC) sale, the New York Times reported. By early 2024, the United States will join over 100 different countries that offer over-the-counter birth control pills, NBC News noted.

“This is a monumental decision,” Dr. Melissa Simon, a professor of clinical gynecology at Northwestern University, told NBC.

The move has long been supported by health organizations like the American Medical Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the American Academy of Family Physicians as a way to remove barriers to accessing contraceptives for women of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, ending a federal “right” to abortion, the hope is that OTC birth control pills will help reduce the rate of unintended pregnancies. Currently, 50 percent of pregnancies in the United States are unintended, according to the Times. (Read more from “Over-The-Counter Birth Control Pills Coming to a Store Near You in 2024” HERE)

Bromance: Years of Emails Between Jeffery Epstein and JPMorgan Exec Show Cozy Relationship

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former JPMorgan Exec Jes Staley described his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as “profound.”

Years of email correspondence between Staley and the late Epstein have been scrutinized as Staley faces lawsuits from JPMorgan and the British regulatory probe, Bloomberg reported.

Two months after Jeffrey Epstein was registered as a sex offender in 2011, Staley wrote him an email expressing his gratitude for their friendship.

“You have paid a price for what has been accused,” Staley wrote. “But we know what you have done for us. And we count you as one of our deepest friends. And most honest of people.”

Staley worked for JPMorgan for more than 30 years until departing in 2013, and Epstein had been a client of the bank since 1998. In 2004, Epstein helped Staley land a $7 billion stake in a hedge fund known as Highbridge Capital Management. This boosted Staley’s career at the bank.

Veteran Feds Cry Foul on White House Cocaine Probe: ‘This Is a Cover-Up’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The conclusion of an 11-day Secret Service probe that failed to find which White House staff member or visitor left cocaine in the West Wing looks like a whitewash, former federal investigators told The Post Thursday.

“This is a cover-up. How can they say they have no leads?” one ex-agent said. “It is a restricted area and they have a log book, you don’t have to be Columbo to figure out who was there.

“Suppose it was anthrax,” the same person raged. “Would they have the same answer?”

“We have a tale of two countries,” another former fed said. “They identified hundreds of people who were in the Capitol building on Jan. 6 after an extensive investigation, but they don’t know who left something in an 8 x 10 room in the White House?”

The Secret Service concluded its inquiry Thursday without identifying a suspect, citing “a lack of physical evidence” after FBI forensic testing yielded no fingerprints and insufficient DNA evidence. (Read more from “Veteran Feds Cry Foul on White House Cocaine Probe: ‘This Is a Cover-Up’” HERE)

Hunter Informant Charges Make Anti-Biden Case ‘Stronger’: McCarthy

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) argued Thursday that the unsealing of an indictment against a key informant in the Hunter Biden investigation only buttresses Republicans’ case against the first son.

Democrats have needled the GOP over the indictment of Gal Luft on eight counts — including acting as an unregistered foreign agent of Beijing — by suggesting Republicans got taken by a fugitive out to save himself by leveling wild accusations against the first family.

“It wouldn’t undermine that case because if you extrapolate that even further, the Justice Department went after him,” McCarthy told reporters. “Well, Hunter Biden received more money from the same foreign CEFC company than this informant did.

“So it would only make the case stronger that the government didn’t look at the Hunter Biden [situation].”

McCarthy’s assertion echoes that of House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) who highlighted the first son’s dealings with the Chinese energy conglomerate after the Luft indictment was unsealed in the Southern District of New York Monday.

Gaetz Caps off Grilling of FBI Director With Last-Second Zinger

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz slammed FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday for allegedly failing to uphold his duties as a director.

Wray was testifying at the Oversight Committee when Gaetz began questioning him about text messages allegedly sent from Hunter Biden to a Chinese business associate that mentioned President Joe Biden.

Wray refused to comment on the alleged texts, prompting Gaetz to ask whether Wray was protecting the Biden family.

“You seem deeply uncurious about it, almost suspiciously uncurious. Are you protecting the Biden’s?”

“Absolutely not,” Wray said, with Gaetz again pushing that Wray should at least acknowledge or answer the question. Gaetz then asked how many illegal FISA inquiries have occurred since Wray has been in charge, noting the Inspector General reported more than one million were in error. Gaetz then said the court said the number was actually around 200,000. Wray said he did not know the answer or correct number.

‘Are You Protecting the Bidens?’ Matt Gaetz Goes on Rampage Against Chris Wray in Explosive Hearing Showdown

By Mediaite. Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) didn’t waste a second to throw accusations at FBI Director Chris Wray during his hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.

Wray, on Wednesday, has already faced several of his harshest critics — as his committee appearance was set to address claims about the alleged two-tiered justice system in America and the weaponization of federal law enforcement against conservatives. Gaetz kicked off his questioning with the alleged WhatsApp message of Hunter Biden invoking his father’s name and demanding payment from his Chinese business associate. . .

The confrontation moved on to Gaetz interrogating Wray over the FBI’s alleged FISA abuses, which coincides with Gaetz’s push for Congress to not renew the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Gaetz also cast perjury accusations at Wray before proclaiming “the FBI has broken so bad that people can go and engage in queries that when you come before the Congress to answer questions, you’re, like, you’re blissfully ignorant” about the FBI supposedly “using the FISA process as their creepy personal snoop machine.” (Read more from “‘Are You Protecting the Bidens?’ Matt Gaetz Goes on Rampage Against Chris Wray in Explosive Hearing Showdown” HERE)
