WATCH: GOP Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy Criticizes DeSantis, Claims Governor Was ‘Exploited’ Into 2024 Presidential Run

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy gave his opinion on fellow GOP contender and Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his 2024 campaign on Friday.

Ramaswamy claimed on the “PBD Podcast” that even though DeSantis had “mega amounts of money” backing him, he couldn’t gain momentum in the GOP primary, causing donors to label him a “lost cause” and leaving them in search of another candidate to support — such as former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.

Ramaswamy also said that he thinks DeSantis did not want to run for president, but was pushed into it.

“I actually think he was a good governor. I think he’s a good dude,” Ramaswamy said.

“He’s been exploited. I think that’s actually what’s happened here is, this man would have just continued being the governor of this state, and probably done a pretty good job of it,” Ramaswamy continued.

Special Counsel in Hunter Biden Investigation Reveals Need for DOJ Tax Division Approval

Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, special counsel in the ongoing Hunter Biden investigation, confirmed he needed approval from the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Tax Division on his decisions during the case.

Weiss testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and admitted that the DOJ Tax Division would have to approve tax charges leveled against Hunter Biden, even with his special counsel authority, according to a transcript of his testimony reviewed by the Daily Caller.

“I’m not going to comment on Tax Division approvals relative to this case. It would entail the deliberative process,” Weiss said. He was willing to speak about the general authority given to the Tax Division, without discussing the Hunter Biden investigation.

“I am aware of the Tax Division responsibilities under title — under the Code of Federal Regulations and the manual,” Weiss stated. He also expressed his understanding that the Tax Division is tasked with approving title 26 tax evasion offenses.

“I am aware that Tax Division approves the charging of title 26 offenses,” Weiss said. (Read more from “Special Counsel in Hunter Biden Investigation Reveals Need for DOJ Tax Division Approval” HERE)

Muslim Group Accuses Biden Administration of ‘War Crimes’

There has been a heavy situation of Democrats in disarray when it comes to the Israel-Hamas war after the Iranian backed group perpetrated a terrorist attack against Israel on October 7, killing more than 1400 civilians.

Democratic voters, especially Muslim voters in the swing state of Michigan, threatened to withhold support for President Joe Biden in 2024. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) really ramped that up, though, when she shared an ad calling Biden out for what support he has shown Israel, with that ad containing genocidal phrases such as “from the river to the sea.”

But Tlaib isn’t the only one calling out Biden. On Friday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) sent out a press release levying quite the accusation against the Biden administration.

“By providing unlimited support for Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza, the Biden administration must share the blame for the war crimes being carried out on an hourly basis targeting Palestinian women, children and men,” a statement from CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper said. “Our nation’s failure to recognize the humanity of the Palestinian people is prolonging the suffering and preventing a just resolution to the decades-long conflict resulting from the denial of Palestinian rights.”

New Yorker Arrested After Trying to Save Woman’s Life (VIDEO)

Police arrested a New York man who was trying to protect a young woman allegedly being harassed by a homeless vagrant, according to the New York Post (NYP).

John Rote, a 43-year-old Queens resident, was allegedly trying to stop Matthew Roesch, a 49-year-old homeless man, who had allegedly cornered a woman and allegedly told her “If you don’t give me a dollar, I’m going to take your purse,” according to the New York Post (NYP).

Upon seeing the alleged attempted robbery, sources said Rote reached into his backpack and removed a firearm, yelling “Get away from her!’ before firing two warning shots into the air, per NYP.

Prosecutors charged Rote with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a firearm, reckless endangerment and menacing, NYP reported.

Prosecutors requested Rote be held on a $10,000 cash bond, which Judge Jay Weiner granted, according to NYP. (Read more from “New Yorker Arrested After Trying to Save Woman’s Life” HERE)

As WW3 Looms, U.S. Army Shamelessly Releases New Recruitment Ad Featuring Only White Guys (VIDEO)

The US military is happily echoing the left’s nasty anti-white narrative. They’re marginalizing white men to elevate transgenders, the LGBTQ community, women, and minorities—until the moment white men are needed once more. Then, right on cue, they produce a fresh ad spotlighting only white men, a stark contrast to their usual rhetoric. This shameless flip-flop unfolds just days after we found out that officials hid the Nashville shooter’s anti-white manifesto from the public. Apparently white folks aren’t worth protecting, unless they’re men masquerading as women, like Lieutenant Colonel Bree Fram.

And of course, special standards are in effect for these “white guys.”

And while these “white guys” are the new military heroes and leaders…

. . .This is the advertisement Jack was talking about. It appears that when the military is in need of bolstering their numbers, they look towards white recruits. Yet, it seems that on any other given day, the military’s focus is on transgenders and, treating whites and Christians like evil predators. Now, they’re not even pretending to hide it. This twisted agenda is right out in the open for everyone to see.

DOJ Declined Top Hunter Biden Prosecutor’s Request for Additional Authority, Testimony Confirms

The Department of Justice (DOJ) declined a request by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss for additional charging authority for the Hunter Biden case in spring 2022, prior to his special counsel appointment.

Weiss, the lead prosecutor in the Hunter Biden investigation, testified Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee and described a call with two DOJ officials who turned down his request for special attorney authority under section 515, according to a transcript of his testimony reviewed by the Daily Caller.

Weiss spoke on the phone with Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer, his main point of contact, and Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General (PADAG) John Carlin after he reached out about extending the investigation into D.C. and California.

“I initiated email contact with Mr.Carlin, and I subsequently had a conversation with John Carlin, and I believe Brad Weinsheimer was on the call,” Weiss testified.

Weiss described how the DOJ officials told him to follow the normal charging process instead of giving him the extra authority. (Read more from “DOJ Declined Top Hunter Biden Prosecutor’s Request for Additional Authority, Testimony Confirms” HERE)

Hedge Fund Billionaire Issues Bone-Chilling Prediction About Future Inflation

Hedge fund founder Ken Griffin warned Thursday that inflation could persist for decades, citing U.S. government spending.

Griffin, the founder of Citadel, warned that the high U.S. budget deficits were unsustainable while at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore, according to the New York Post. The federal budget deficit hit roughly $1.7 trillion for fiscal year 2023, according to an Oct. 21 release from the Treasury Department.

Griffin said the U.S. government failed to plan for inflation when it “went on the spending spree that created a $33 trillion deficit,” the Post reported.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 3.7% on a year-to-year basis in August despite 11 interest-rate hikes since March 2022. (Read more from “Hedge Fund Billionaire Issues Bone-Chilling Prediction About Future Inflation” HERE)

Dems Pass New Law Requiring a ‘Kill Switch’ in All New Vehicles Sold After 2026 (VIDEO)

Hidden within a 1,039-page law that passed when the Democrats had the majority in the House of Representatives is a provision for a “kill switch” in all new vehicles after 2026.

Democrats seemed unaware that they had passed this new provision, so Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) had to read the law directly to them.

The provision states that it will “passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired and prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if an impairment is detected.”

“In other words, they have mandated that there be technology in every new vehicle sold after 2026 that evaluates your driving performance, gives you a scorecard while you’re driving, and if you fail, it will disable the vehicle and put you on the side of the road,” Massie tells Glenn Beck. . .

“Let’s say you’re a mom and you’ve got kids in the car, and you’ve pulled over twice onto the shoulder to let emergency vehicles go by, and then you swerved once for a deer, and now you make your final, you know, correction, and boom, the car says, ‘Okay, we’re the judge and the jury.’”

Report: Israel Killed Ballistic Missile Attack in Space (VIDEO)

A new report at the Telegraph says Israel shot down a ballistic missile that was aimed at it, while the weapon was in space.

The report explains the Middle East democracy’s famed Arrow missile-defense system took out the rocket than had been fired by the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who are backed by Iran, “outside the earth’s atmosphere.”

The report said it was believed to be the first combat ever to take place in space, and it resulted in the takedown of the bomb launched from Yemen, some 1,000 miles away and heading for the Israeli port city of Eilat.

Few details were released about the intercept, but the Israel Defense Forces released a video, explaining a cruise missile “launched from the southeast toward Israeli airspace was successfully intercepted by F-35I fighter jets.”

Then it added, “On the same day, the AIF’s Arrow Aerial Defense System intercepted a surface-to-surface missile in the Red Sea area.”

Senator Requests Subpoena of Jeffrey Epstein’s Estate, Demanding Infamous Flight Logs

Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn asked Senate lawmakers on Thursday to approve a subpoena against the estate of deceased wealthy financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, demanding Congress gains access to flight logs from his private plane.

“Given the numerous allegations of human trafficking and abuse surrounding Mr. Epstein, we’ve got to identify everyone who could have participated in his horrific conduct,” Blackburn said in a news release.

Blackburn announced she filed the request during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing surrounding Sen. Dick Durbin’s (D-IL) attempts to investigate Supreme Court ethics issues. Amid a fiery exchange between the two lawmakers, Blackburn announced a series of subpoenas, including the one against Epstein’s estate.

“I think it is very important that we identify everybody that was on that plane, and how many trips they took on that plane and the destinations to which they arrived,” she said.
