Ted Cruz Predictably Turns on Senator Tuberville’s Principled Stand Against the Pentagon’s Disgusting (and Illegal) Pro-Abortion Policies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senator Ted Cruz became the latest Republican to criticize his colleague from Alabama over Mr. Tuberville’s ongoing refusal to allow for voice approvals of military promotions to pass in the Senate, telling radio host Hugh Hewitt that America’s military readiness was suffering as a result of key positions going unfilled.

Mr. Cruz’s break from his colleague is significant . . . It’s a sign of just how few allies remain with Mr.Tuberville as his hold has stretched for months. . .

Mr. Tuberville and other Republicans are staunchly opposed to a policy enacted by the Biden administration allowing service members to be reimbursed for travel expenses if they need to leave their state to access abortion services. Implemented after the Dobbs decision in 2022 ended federal protections for abortion rights, Republicans argue that the policy violates the Hyde Amendment, which restricts the federal government from using funds for abortion services except in a few specific cases.

For months, the Republican from Alabama has refused to allow military promotions to be approved by voice in the Senate in retaliation. Technically, the promotions could still be approved by the full chamber in a roll call vote, but such a process is timely. Democrats who control the chamber also oppose the idea of setting a precedent by giving in to a member’s demands in such a fashion.

New Film Gives Reel Truth in the Face of George Floyd Lies (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , , /by

It’s a self-protective aspect of human nature to put aside painful memories, and that’s what most of us have done about the murderous riots in the summer of 2020 that were sparked by George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis.

But for the people of that fallen city, and for all the cops across the nation who were abandoned and betrayed by their feckless political leaders, the pain still burns bright.

It ought to burn for the rest of us, too, because we still are suffering the consequences, in the catastrophic breakdown of law and order nationwide. We will continue to do so while the lies about George Floyd’s death are left to fester.

A brilliant new crowdfunded documentary, “The Fall of Minneapolis,” aims to remedy our collective amnesia about the events of May 25, 2020 — a time when the country was already half-mad from the ravages of COVID-19 and forced lockdowns, and when Democratic Party operatives, including candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, seized on the “Defund the police” movement, in order to bring down President Donald Trump.

So many lies have been told since, and so much truth buried by the Big Tech censors that control reality, that the documentary arrives like a slap in the face. (Read more from “New Film Gives Reel Truth in the Face of George Floyd Lies” HERE)

Examining Masculinity: Study Challenges Negative Perceptions, Links Positive Views to Higher Mental Well-Being

/0 Comments/in , /by

A groundbreaking study with over 4,000 male participants challenges the widely debated notion that masculinity is intrinsically linked to negative behaviors, shedding light on the complex relationship between societal perceptions of masculinity and individual mental health. Published in the International Journal of Health Sciences, the research, led by John Barry, the co-founder of the Centre for Male Psychology, explores the evolving views on masculinity over the decades.

The study, conducted through a comprehensive online survey, included 2,023 men from the United Kingdom and 2,002 from Germany. A key element was the Positive Mindset Index, measuring mental positivity, and specific questions about masculinity perceptions. The findings challenge stereotypes, revealing that men who had a less negative view of masculinity reported higher levels of mental positivity, debunking the myth of masculinity’s inherent harm. The Positive Mindset Index was strongly influenced by men’s satisfaction with personal growth, with older men and those content with their health reporting higher mental positivity.

Notably, men who disagreed with negative statements about masculinity, such as hindering emotional expression, exhibited better mental outlooks, emphasizing the potential harm of using terms like “toxic masculinity.” The study indicates a generational shift in attitudes toward violence against women, with older men less likely to associate masculinity with violence.

Arizona Attorney General Promises to Prosecute County that Wants to Hand Count Ballots

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mohave County supervisors [are voting this week] to hand count all ballots cast in next year’s elections.

. . . Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has long warned county officials across the state that they have no authority under state law to hand count ballots. Mayes, a Democrat, has pledged to restore trust in elections and prosecute individuals who threaten election officials.

She told Mohave County officials in a letter over the weekend that the “legal consequences would be serious” if they opted to hand count. She also expressed concern that supervisors had “received incorrect legal advice from bad-faith actors who are attempting to sow doubt in Arizona’s elections and ultimately undermine Arizona’s democratic process.”

Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes told Mohave County supervisors in June that he also believes attempting a hand count would be illegal. . .

Two Cochise County supervisors are now being investigated by the Attorney General’s Office after attempting to hand count midterm results and delay certification last year.

Says She Heard It’s A ‘Possibility’ Tucker Carlson Could Be Trump’s VP Selection

/0 Comments/in , /by

A New York Times reporter said Monday she heard that former President Donald Trump could pick Tucker Carlson as his running mate for the 2024 election.

Political correspondent Maggie Haberman said during an interview on the Dispatch podcast that Trump was planning to assemble loyalists for a potential administration should he win the upcoming presidential election. Podcast host Jamie Weinstein then asked her about the rumors that Trump could pick Carlson, a co-founder of the Daily Caller and Daily Caller News Foundation, as his running mate.

“It’s a real thing that I am hearing as a possibility,” Haberman responded. “The likelihood of it, I don’t know. I think there will be a pretty professionalized vetting process, honestly. I know that might sound unbelievable based on what we’ve seen from Trump historically, but Trump’s current political team is the best — at least as a non-incumbent — that he’s had, and there’s just a different level of control.”

Carlson’s show with Fox News amassed huge ratings before the network announced his departure on April 24. After his departure, the ratings for the replacement show, “Fox News at Night,” declined until the network announced that Jesse Watters would move his show from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. to replace Carlson’s show.

On Biden’s Birthday, Trump’s Doctor Issues a Bill of Good Health

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dr. Bruce Aronwald, a physician for Donald Trump, released a statement Monday afternoon about the former president’s current state of health.

“I have been President Donald J. Trump’s personal physician since 2021. During this time, I have conducted several comprehensive examinations, the most recent being September 13, 2023, and have supervised specialist consultations along with ancillary testing for screening and preventative health maintenance,” Aronwald said. “I am please to report that President Trump’s overall health is excellent. His physical exams were well within the normal range and his cognitive exams were exceptional. In addition, his most recent extensive laboratory analysis remains well within normal limits and was more favorable than prior testing in some of the most significant parameters, most likely secondary to weigh reduction.”

“Cardiovascular studies are all normal and cancer screening tests are all negative. President Trump has reduced his weight through an improved diet and continued daily physical activity, while maintaining a rigorous schedule,” he continued. “It is my opinion that President Trump is currently in excellent health, and with his continued interest in preventative health monitoring and maintenance, he will continue to enjoy a health active lifestyle for years to come.”

The statement was released on the same day President Joe Biden is celebrating his 81st birthday and as major questions swirl about his ability to run for a second term in the White House. (Read more from “On Biden’s Birthday, Trump’s Doctor Issues a Bill of Good Health” HERE)

Will New NBC Poll Cause Biden to Abandon Israel?

/0 Comments/in , /by

More polls have been released, and that means more bad news for President Joe Biden. That includes polls from NBC News and Fox News, with the former being particularly telling when it comes to how the headline from NBC chalks it up to the Israel-Hamas war. As Townhall has covered ever since the October 7 terrorist attack, polls show that Americans overall support Israel, but that that support is dwindling, and that support from Democrats and young people is particularly lacking.

“President Joe Biden’s approval rating has declined to the lowest level of his presidency — 40% — as strong majorities of all voters disapprove of his handling of foreign policy and the Israel-Hamas war, according to the latest national NBC News poll,” the write-up began by mentioning. While just 40 percent approve of how Biden is handling his presidency, 57 percent disapprove.

To be sure, young people weren’t only quoted discussing what support Biden has had for Israel, but it was still mentioned, with the write-up noting that the 70 percent of those voters ages 18 to 34 who disapprove of Biden’s handling of the war is a “whopping” figure. . .

It’s worth wondering what that will take, though. Will Biden give up on Israel? His administration has already announced aid to Gaza, despite how it could be intercepted by Hamas, as well as renewed a waiver on sanctions so as to grant funding to Iran via purchases from Iraq. This is despite how Iran supported Hamas in the October 7 terrorist attack perpetrated against Israel. . .

There are also reports of Democrats now demanding that aid to Israel be conditioned, despite how every Senate Democrats and many House Democrats haven’t even approved such aid yet. While a standalone bill providing aid and paid for with IRS funding cuts passed the House with bipartisan support, Senate Democrats have blocked the bill multiple times. Biden has also threatened to veto such a bill if it’s not tied to funding Ukraine. (Read more from “Will New NBC Poll Cause Biden to Abandon Israel?” HERE)

WATCH: Biden Baffles Turkey Pardon Guests With Joke That Confuses Taylor Swift and Britney Spears

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden appeared to have some difficulty differentiating between pop stars when he made a few off-the-cuff comments during Monday’s ceremonial turkey pardon at the White House.

Biden was explaining just how difficult the selection process was to find the turkeys for the pardon, and attempted to compare that to how challenging it could be to secure tickets for popular concerts — such as Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour, which was so popular that it was released in theaters. His comparison went sideways, however, when he appeared to confuse Swift with Britney Spears and Beyonce.

“Liberty and Bell had to beat some tough odds, competition,” Biden said of the turkeys. “Harder than getting a ticket to The Renaissance Tour — or, or to Britney’s tour, she’s down in – it’s kind of warm in Brazil right now.”

But unfortunately for Biden, the joke was more confusing than it was funny. The Renaissance Tour — which was Beyonce’s recent outing, ended on October 1 in Kansas City. Britney Spears is not touring at all, and hasn’t since her tenth outing in 2018, her Piece of Me Tour.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A biological woman, “Miss Nicaragua” Sheynnis Palacios, won the crown at the Miss Universe pageant Saturday in El Salvador.

Palacios, 23, is the first Nicaraguan to win the crown, the Associated Press (AP) reported Sunday.

Video footage shows the tense moments as the crowd waited for the crowning. “Okay, the new Miss Universe is…” the announcer said as the two contestants waited and held hands on the stage.

“Nicaragua!” the announcer shouted as Palacios reacted in shock. Moments later, the glittering crown was placed on her head:

It is important to note the company that owns the Miss Universe pageant recently filed for bankruptcy, Breitbart News reported November 10.

“The company is led by transgender rights advocate Anne Jakrajutatip, who took over the pageant’s brand in 2022,” the article said, also highlighting the fact that the pageant in El Salvador was slated to feature, for the first time, two transgender women contestants.

Trans Athlete Who Seriously Injured Female Player Quits Team After Opponents Refuse to Play Against Him

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A male-born transgender athlete has quit a British soccer team when faced with opposing teams refusing to play against his team after he broke an opponent’s knee during a match. But even after quitting, the trans player is threatening to sue.

Opponents had refused to play against Francesca Needham, 30, after he broke a female player’s knee as she tried to block his shot. Many claimed they were “terrified” to face Needham on the field, according to the Daily Mail.

Needham ultimately resigned from the Rossington Main Ladies team in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, saying he did so for the good of the team after many opponents refused to play them. But he was not happy to fade off into the sunset.

In a statement to the team’s Facebook page, Needham decried the fact that he “faced challenges from teams unwilling to play against us while I am on the field.” . . .

“This unfortunate circumstance has prompted me to investigate pursuing a case of discrimination, as I believe it represents a breach of a code of conduct regarding diversity and inclusion, as well as safeguarding of adults in football established by both the Football Association and the Sheffield and Hallamshire Women and Girls League,” he wrote.
