Former ESPN Host Accuses Megan Rapinoe of Narcissism Following Anti-Religion Remarks

. . .Days after Rapinoe claimed a potential Achilles injury in the final match of her professional career was “proof that there isn’t” a God, the former “SportsCenter” host tore into the controversial U.S. Women’s National Team star on X.

“Narcissism at its finest,” Steele posted Monday.

Rapinoe and Steele have long been vocal about their beliefs — often on opposite sides of the debate — and it appears the 38-year-old athlete’s comments hit a sore spot with the ex-ESPN personality.

Steele’s X profile says she’s a “Believer” with a cross emoji, indicating that religion is an important part of her life.

Rapinoe’s now-viral remark came Saturday after Gotham FC defeated her OL Reign in the National Women’s Soccer League Championship, 2-1. (Read more from “Former ESPN Host Accuses Megan Rapinoe of Narcissism Following Anti-Religion Remarks” HERE)

Bus Drivers’ Intentional Walk-Off Leaves Hundreds of Jewish Ralliers Stranded during Pro-Israel Rally in DC

In an unexpected turn of events, hundreds of Jewish ralliers headed to Tuesday’s pro-Israel rally in Washington, DC, found themselves stranded for approximately 11 hours on the Dulles Airport tarmac due to a reported “deliberate and malicious walk-off” by bus drivers. The orchestrated effort, allegedly aimed at preventing their attendance, resulted in chaotic scenes and led to the group missing the entire March for Israel event.

The Jewish Federation of Detroit had chartered three private planes from Detroit for nearly 1,000 ralliers and arranged buses to transport them to the National Mall in DC. However, upon landing, about a third of the passengers were left stranded as several buses failed to appear on the tarmac. A spokesperson for the Federation revealed that the drivers had organized a “mass sick-out” day, leaving just a handful available to fulfill their obligations.

The unidentified bus company reportedly informed the Federation that a “significant number” of drivers called out sick upon learning that they would be transporting Jewish Americans to the pro-Israel rally. The Federation denounced the act as a “deliberate and malicious walk-off,” with organizers labeling it antisemitic, as it directly hindered the group’s participation in the rally.

Passengers stranded on the tarmac faced further challenges as they spent three hours awaiting buses, which eventually turned out not to be for their group. The charter flights couldn’t depart without pre-organized transportation, forcing those unable to board the buses back onto the planes, causing them to miss the entire event.

Throughout the day-long ordeal, organizers from the Jewish Federation of Detroit provided updates to stranded passengers about the purported counter-protest through the plane’s speaker system. Participants expressed frustration and disappointment, with one rallier calling the walkout a “deliberate antisemitic act.”

Simultaneously, on the National Mall, the March for Israel unfolded as a massive gathering, with an estimated 290,000 attendees, marking it as the largest pro-Israel event in history. Despite the challenges faced by the stranded group, the resilience and spirit of solidarity among ralliers remained evident.

Congressional Report Highlights China’s Evasion of Biden’s Semiconductor Sanctions, Gaining Access to Advanced Technology

President Joe Biden’s semiconductor sanctions are not sufficiently preventing China from gaining access to the advanced technology, a Tuesday congressional report asserts.

Chinese firms have been procuring American chip manufacturing machinery to produce cutting-edge semiconductors, which are used in artificial intelligence (AI), according to the report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. Biden administration sanctions have aimed at impeding China’s progress in the semiconductor sector, but it has successfully found ways to circumvent them through dubious claims, self-reliance and other countries.

Chinese “importers are often able to purchase the equipment if they claim it is being used on an older production line, and with limited capacity for end-use inspections it is difficult to verify the equipment is not being used to produce more advanced chips,” the report found.

Biden’s 2022 CHIPS and Science Act is designed to advance America’s semiconductor industry while also taking on China, according to a White House fact sheet. The funds provided in the act prohibit constructing certain factories in China.

UFC President Dana White Defiantly Rejects Sponsor’s Demand to Remove Trump Post, Tells Them to “Go F*** Yourself”

UFC CEO and President Dana White said he told one of the sponsors for his mixed martial arts organization to “go f*** yourself” when directed by the unnamed company to remove a post on his personal social media account that included former President Donald Trump.

“One of our big sponsors called and said, take that down,” White said during an interview with comedian and podcaster Theo Von. “You know what I said? Go f*** yourself.”

“You vote for whoever you want to vote for, and I’ll vote for whoever I want to vote for,” White continued. “That’s how this works. I don’t even care who you’re voting for. It’s none of my f***ing business. F*** you. Don’t ever f***ing call me and tell me who to vote for.”

White — a longtime friend and supporter of Trump — has made numerous public appearances with the former Republican president at UFC events. White even spoke on Trump’s behalf at the 2016 Republican National Convention before Trump won the presidential election.

White and Trump were most recently seen on November 11 at Madison Square Garden for UFC 295, walking alongside Kid Rock and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Israeli Military Enters Gaza’s Largest Hospital in Targeted Operation Against Hamas

The Israeli military said it had entered Gaza’s largest hospital early Wednesday local time, breaking a standoff against the facility thought to serve as a hub of Hamas military activities, according to Israel’s military and media reports.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it was carrying out “a precise and targeted operation” against Hamas in a localized area of the Al-Shifa Hospital, which it has so far balked at entering due to the medical personnel and patients in the facility, s, according to The Associated Press. But Israeli authorities have said it serves as a primary nodes for the Hamas terrorist groups‘ military operations.

“IDF forces are carrying out a precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specified area in the Shifa Hospital, based on intelligence information and an operational necessity,” Israel’s military said in a social media statement. “The IDF is conducting a ground operation in Gaza to defeat Hamas and rescue our hostages. Israel is at war with Hamas, not with the civilians in Gaza.”

The IDF said it warned multiple times over recent weeks that Hamas’ continued use of the hospital for military purposes was endangering its status as a protected non-military target under international law.

Iran Intensifies Global Assassination Efforts, Targets Former Trump Officials, Dissidents

The Islamic Republic of Iran is reportedly increasing efforts to assassinate its enemies on foreign soil while it continues to escalate terrorist attacks against Israel and U.S. forces stationed in the Middle East.

A CBS News “60 Minutes” segment that aired this week reported numerous former Trump administration officials have 24/7 security from federal law enforcement officials because the threats are serious.

Iran reportedly hired a hitman to kidnap or kill former national security adviser John Bolton, who now lives with Secret Service posted outside his home after the administration killed Qasem Soleimani, arguably the top military official in Iran who was responsible for a large portion of the terrorism in the region and around the world.

Iran typically tries to hire hitmen who are already a part of criminal enterprises to carry out their assassination plots on foreign soil.

In the U.S., Iran reportedly hired a private investigator to follow dissident activist Masih Alinejad around, take photographs of her, and document her whereabouts. They initially planned to kidnap her but, when the plot failed, they paid a man $30,000 to attempt to murder her at her home in Brooklyn.

‘Whistleblower’ FBI Agent’s Home Raided Amid Allegations of Classified Information Mishandling

Federal authorities on Monday reportedly raided the California home of one of the FBI’s own special agents — who alleged Russian intelligence agents may have “compromised” Rudy Giuliani while he was working as the lawyer for former President Donald Trump.

A search warrant — reported on by Business Insider — states that authorities searched the Orange County home of FBI Special Agent Jonathan Buma on suspicion that he violated federal laws against mishandling classified information. A receipt for property seized under the search warrant reportedly included “classified material” and “possible classified material” among the confiscated items.

Scott Horton, an attorney for Buma, denied the allegations and the property receipt as false. He said authorities seized computers and other items at the residence. Business Insider reported the property listed included nine laptops, three smartwatches, six tablets, two phones, and one desktop computer — most of which Horton said belonged to Buma’s wife and their children.

“There was no classified information found by the raid,” he said. “I know that from talking to my client.” (Read more from “‘Whistleblower’ FBI Agent’s Home Raided Amid Allegations of Classified Information Mishandling” HERE)

House Passes Funding Plan with Overwhelming Democrat Support

The House passed a continuing resolution Tuesday to extend spending levels from a lame duck session last December by Democratic House and Senate majorities into 2024.

The final tally was 336-95. A whopping 209 Democrats supported the measure, far more than the 127 Republicans in favor.

The two-tiered continuing resolution (CR), called a laddered CR, extends current spending levels for Agriculture, Energy and Water, Military Construction-VA and Transportation-HUD spending bills through January 19, with the remaining eight bills extended through February 2.

Those spending levels and policies were set by Democrats in December 2022 during the lame duck session, after Republicans won a House majority but before new members officially took office in January.

The bill has the support of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and is expected to pass through the Senate on its way to President Biden’s desk by the Friday midnight deadline.

Photos Released of Cocaine Discovered at White House

Photos were released on Monday of the cocaine that officials discovered over the summer that prompted an evacuation of the facility.

The photos, published by the Daily Mail, show a small baggie containing a white powdery substance sitting inside a cubby hole where people can store personal belongings near the White House’s West Executive entrance.

Officials confirmed the substance as cocaine during preliminary and subsequent testing.

President Joe Biden and his family, including admitted cocaine-addict Hunter Biden, who was kicked out of the military for testing positive for cocaine, were reportedly at Camp David when the drugs were found.

The FBI and Secret Service conducted an investigation into the owner of the substance but allegedly shut down the investigation due to a “lack of evidence” after narrowing down a list of potential suspects to 500 people, the report said.

Kamala Harris Gives Troubling Answer on Pro-Hamas Demonstrations (VIDEO)

. . .Vice President Kamala Harris gave a troubling response about the Israel-Hamas war when taking questions from reporters during her visit to the Vietnam War Memorial in South Carolina.

“This is obviously a time of significant unrest and angst for many Americans as we see war in the Middle East. What is your and the President’s message to those, especially those we see protesting across the country right now,” a reporter asked Harris.

“Well, first of all, people have a right to protest, we are a democracy and we should value the voices and listen to the voices. And so I start with that and there’s no question that for most people who are aware of what’s happening, our hearts are heavy,” the vice president tellingly began her response with.

The pro-Hamas protests going on around the country and around the world have shown displays not only of vile anti-semitism, but criminal behavior. It was after Harris took this question that pro-Hamas agitators tried to storm Grand Central Station. Protesers also removed flags on the city streets–on Veteran’s Day no less–to substitute the Palestinian flag.

But, the pro-Hamas protests that devolved into defacing statues in Lafayette Park and resulted in agitators trying to storm the White House gate did occur before Harris began by stressing the right to protest, as if these were peaceful people with peaceful goals in mind.
