Zelensky Cozy Ups With the World’s Richest Elites After Begging the U.S. For More Money

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has not stopped begging the United States for hundreds of millions to fund his country’s proxy “war” with Russia.

This week, Zelensky showed up in Washington D.C. asking for 46 aid packages from the American government to keep his country well funded— in which he secured another $24 million from American taxpayers.

Zelensky used his time in the U.S. as an opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the world’s wealthiest elites, a move very well-known to Democrats.

According to the New York Post, the Ukrainian leader attended a swanky soiree arranged by the multi-billionaires at J.P. Morgan.

Mike Bloomberg, worth an estimated $96 billion; Ken Griffin of the Citadel investment empire, worth around $35 billion; Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, worth $20 billion; Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, worth $11 billion; Jona­than Gray, the president of private equity powerhouse Blackstone, worth around $7 billion; Barry Sternlicht, of Starwood Capital; worth about $4 billion; Bill Ackman, the high-profile hedge fund operator, worth nearly $3.6 billion— were all in attendance.

‘Utter Contempt for Democracy’: Tulsi Gabbard Destroys Her Former Party Over Trump Prosecution

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who recently split with the Democratic Party, unloaded on her former colleagues over the persistent prosecutions of former President Donald Trump.

Gabbard shared a brief video via X, arguing that the prosecutions amounted to a concerted effort — on the parts of both President Joe Biden specifically and the Democratic Party in general — to keep Trump busy and distracted because they were afraid he could potentially win in 2024. . .

“Anyone who’s looking at what’s happening with clear eyes and an open mind can recognize how overtly they are trying to keep President Trump off of the campaign trail, to keep him away from being able to make his case to voters in this country of why they should elect him as President and Commander in Chief once again,” she said.

“They’re afraid that he actually could win, which is why they’re committing this such egregious abuse of power that cuts so much deeper than just going after President Trump,” she continued. “What they’re really doing is setting this precedent that puts the United States of America not on a high platform of trying to be an example of democracy to the world, but of reducing our great country to none other than a banana republic and an abuse of power that we see happening in other countries around the world.” (Read more from “‘Utter Contempt for Democracy’: Tulsi Gabbard Destroys Her Former Party Over Trump Prosecution” HERE)

Parent Speaks Out Against Middle School’s Explicit Reading List

/0 Comments/in , /by

Cooper Middle School in McClean, Virginia, gave students an age- inappropriate reading list for their 7th grade English class this year, a concerned parent told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Students in the English class were assigned a wide variety of books on topics that spanned from illegal immigration to Black Lives Matter (BLM), according to a copy of the list. Although the reading list clarifies that students will not have to read every single book, one teacher at the middle school said students would have to choose books to read from the provided options unless a parent offered an alternate, school-approved book, an orientation video welcoming students to the class showed.

“The first time I got this syllabus was after the open house,” “Jane,” a parent who immigrated to the U.S. from Communist China and who requested anonymity so her child would not be bullied by teachers and students in the class, told the DCNF. “I didn’t think much of it at the time because I thought it was about teaching English. But. . . when I saw the second page, there were some words that looked completely unrelated.”

The list specifies eight core concepts the students will study by reading a “variety of books” over the course of the year to “challenge” them and let them “explore universal concepts”: Identity, community, the unknown, loyalty, justice, ethics, perspective and change. Students received slightly different book assignments depending on if they were in the honors-level course or regular English, but both lists contained controversial books with explicit sexual or violent content.

Bob Menendez Hires Hunter Biden’s Lawyer for Federal Corruption Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) has hired the lawyer representing President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, after Menendez was indicted last week on federal corruption charges.

CNBC reported that Menendez hired Abbe Lowell to represent him in the case — the same lawyer that he hired in 2015 to represent him in a similar corruption case, although legal experts have said that the evidence in the current case is much stronger.

Lowell was hired by Hunter Biden after his plea deal fell apart in federal court last month which eventually led to prosecutors charging Hunter Biden on firearm-related charges.

The federal indictment was unsealed against Menendez on Friday, and it accused the senator and his wife of accepting bribes from three business people in exchange for actions that he took as chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee. According to the DOJ, the bribes were intended to protect the businessmen and to benefit Egypt. (Read more from “Bob Menendez Hires Hunter Biden’s Lawyer for Federal Corruption Case” HERE)

Did Bidenomics Kill the American Dream? Homes and Cars Are Becoming Increasingly Unaffordable for the Middle Class

/0 Comments/in , /by

Average Americans are finding homes and cars increasingly unaffordable as inflation from high government spending raises prices and degrades purchasing power.

Half of consumers are being priced out of the car market as the cost of a monthly car loan payment is far exceeding what an average American can afford, while the home affordability index has fallen from a 169.9 point average in 2020 to 87.8 points as of July, according to the National Association of Realtors. One key driver of the rising expenses is inflation, which peaked at 9.1% in June 2022 and is linked to high government spending under the Biden administration, according to experts who spoke to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“Both housing and automobiles have become increasingly less affordable to American households as a direct result of the Fed having to raise interest rates to curb inflation,” Desmond Lachman, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, told the DCNF. “Most people finance their home and auto purchases by taking out loans and those loans have become much more expensive.”

The Biden administration has introduced a number of high-spending bills that have contributed to the national debt, including the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan signed in March 2021 that aimed to relieve the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The president also signed the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022, which equates to around $750 billion in new spending, with nearly $370 billion of that going towards green initiatives.

Report: Leaked Veterans Affairs Training Video Promotes Abortion, Says Pregnancy Not Exclusive to Women (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A training video allegedly leaked from the Department of Veterans Affairs promotes abortion and even suggests that men can become pregnant, Fox News reported Wednesday.

The “Reproductive Health Training” video from April 2023 tells staffers how to talk to veterans who are considering aborting their babies.

“Before discussing counseling procedures, the video began with a ‘note’ on language that clarified, ‘Not all people who seek abortions identify as women.’ Another note read, ‘Person who is pregnant’ is inclusive and preferred to ‘pregnant woman,’” according to the report.

Another slide tells staffers to use certain language about abortion, like “embryo or fetus” instead of “baby or unborn child,” “veteran or person” instead of “mother,” and “embryonic or fetal cardiac activity” instead of “fetal heartbeat.”

According to authorities, the investigator with the Fulton County District Attorney’s office accidentally fired a shot, hitting herself in the leg.

Sources close to the probe tell FOX 5 the female investigator shot herself in the leg inside the fourth-floor handicap accessible bathroom.

Joe Biden Calls for Assault Weapon Ban: ‘If You Need 80 Shots in a Magazine You Shouldn’t Own a Gun’

/9 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. While announcing the launch of an executive level gun control office–the Office of Gun Violence Prevention–President Joe Biden called again for a ban on “assault weapons” and said, “If you need 80 shots in a magazine you shouldn’t own a gun.”

On September 19, 2023, Breitbart News reported Biden’s plans to launch the executive gun control office and, on September 21, 2023, noted that he had tapped Vice President Kamala Harris to lead it.

In announcing the launch of the office on Friday from the Rose Garden, Biden referenced the gun control Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) worked with Democrats to help secure in the summer of 2022.

He then stressed that he is not finished pursuing gun control, and spoke of securing again the federal “assault weapons” ban which was in place from 1994 to 2004. That ban included a prohibition on “high capacity” magazines as well.

Biden then said, “‘If you need 80 shots in a magazine you shouldn’t own a gun.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Calls for Assault Weapon Ban: ‘If You Need 80 Shots in a Magazine You Shouldn’t Own a Gun’” HERE)

Woke Anti-Gun Ballad ‘Your Child My Child’ Performed on ‘The View’ — And Observers Mercilessly Mock It

By The Blaze. A brooding anti-gun ballad titled “Your Child My Child” was performed on “The View” earlier this week, and everything from the woke lyrics to the hippy-dippy dresses worn by singers Natasha Bedingfield and MILCK got mercilessly mocked on social media.

Backed by an acoustic guitar, cello, low lighting, and plenty of moody mist, Bedingfield and MILCK began singing, “When I got the call from you / It was a shot to my heart,” presumably a reference to gun violence. They continued crooning, “They say the reasons are complex / Then they change the subject / As you live with the effects / We move on and we forget.”

The chorus seemed to push a social collective mentality: “My child is your child / My pain is your pain / I know that things will change / When enough of us will say / Enough, enough, enough.” . . .

Indeed, some folks following “The View” on social media loved the song and agreed with its sentiments. However, it appears quite a few more hopped on the show’s post and put the woke song over their collective knees:

Here’s Who Joe Rogan’s Voting for in 2024, but Dems Will Have ‘Rascally Tricks up Their Sleeves’ to Prevent It

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kennedy Jr. Wednesday, but expressed pessimism that the party would allow him to be on the ballot or debate President Biden in a primary.

“He’s a fascinating guy,” Rogan said to his guest, journalist Alex Berenson, of Kennedy. “I really enjoyed talking to him. What’s really important is his work as an environmental attorney and what he did with the Hudson River. He cleaned up the Hudson River, a lot of it based on him winning cases. And he really cares about people, genuinely does. I think he’s a good person, I really do.”

When asked if he would vote for RFK Jr., Rogan suggested that while he would, it would be an unlikely scenario.

“Yeah, I’d vote for him. Yeah, I would,” Rogan said, before adding, “I don’t think I’m going to get the opportunity.” . . .

“I have a feeling that they’ve got some rascally tricks up their sleeves to keep him from ever challenging. And there’s not going to be any debates, that’s for sure,” Rogan said.

Democrats Silent on Giving Awards to Ukraine’s Transgender Spokesperson

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and Congresswoman Dina Titus have gone quiet after it emerged they both gave awards to the controversial transgender spokesperson for the Ukrainian military Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, who was recently suspended from the role over making unauthorised comments on the force’s behalf.

In December of last year, the Las Vegas City Council presented Ashton-Cirillo with a series of awards for service to the Ukrainian military. According to a broadcast from the local Fox affiliate at the time, Senator Cortez Masto and Congresswoman Titus gave Ashton-Cirillo certificates of recognition for the work done in Ukraine, allegedly including serving as a combat medic. . .

Ashton-Cirillo has come under increasing scrutiny following statements made on social media, including threats to “hunt down” people who spread supposed Russian propaganda. As Breitbart reported, Senator J.D. Vance wrote to top Biden administration officials to question if the White House supported free speech protections in Ukraine and if Ashton-Cirillo had any connections to the U.S. government or intelligence agencies.

In response, Ashton-Cirillo accused Sen. Vance of spreading “gender chaos”, while asserting that those who engage in so-called Russian propaganda could not claim to be journalists and therefore are not entitled to free speech protections and must be sent to prison as “war criminals”.
