Mitt Romney Says He Would Vote for Democrat Over Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Mitt Romney said he would vote for a Democrat over former President Trump or businessman Vivek Ramaswamy in a potential 2024 general election matchup.

“I’d be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans, maybe not Vivek, but the others that are running would be acceptable to me and I’d be happy to vote for them,” Romney said to CBS news host Norah O’Donnell in a clip which resurfaced online Saturday.

“I’d be happy to vote for a number of the Democrats too. I mean, it would be an upgrade from, in my opinion, from Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden,” Romney added, without specifying which Democrats he had in mind.

The remarks were originally aired a month ago as part of a lengthy discussion between Romney and O’Donnell on a new book about the senator. (Read more from “Mitt Romney Says He Would Vote for Democrat Over Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy” HERE)

Kamala Harris v. Gavin Newsom: The Coming Democratic Civil War

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Democratic Party is united — for now. Fear and loathing of Donald Trump keeps the various Democratic factions in a precarious peace. But labor v. environment, Jewish vote v. Muslim vote, and center-left v. hardcore progressivism cannot remain at bay forever. The fiercest battle may well be the looming civil war between Vice President Kamala Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom for the party leadership once President Biden leaves the stage.

And it won’t be pretty.

When Biden named Harris his running mate, he conferred on her heir-apparent status. The pick made sense. VP nominees are mostly about pulling together party divisions or offsetting the nominee’s weaknesses. As an old, white male Catholic, Biden running with a minority female checked some important identity boxes. And, in 2020 with a campaign hobbled due to covid restrictions, Harris did just fine. The “not Trump” campaign worked.

However, given an opportunity to establish herself as the next Democratic hope, Harris has proven rather maladroit. Something about her isn’t quite right. Her speeches are mediocre, with poorly thought-out ad libs. Her awkwardness with voters is positively Hillary Clintonesque. After spending her life in the progressive hothouse of California, Harris has shown little ability to build appeal in the other more centrist 49 states. Given the unpleasant portfolio of illegal immigration early in the administration, she failed to distinguish herself. If she has any real policy responsibility today, it’s not apparent. . .

While Newsom fell in line endorsing Biden, he has ramped up his campaign to be the “Next Big Thing” for Democrats. His media appearances are unabated, and his public relations team is working overtime. A foreign policy trip to China to meet Xi Jinping, various progressive policy initiatives passed by a pliant legislature, all resemble the Gov. Ron DeSantis Republican playbook in Florida. Newsom will debate DeSantis at the end of November in a putative dry run for 2028. (Read more from “Kamala Harris v. Gavin Newsom: The Coming Democratic Civil War” HERE)

RFK Jr. Blows the Lid off Bill Gates’ Little Philanthropy “Money-Making Plot” (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

[I]s there more to Bill Gates’ story than meets the eye? Absolutely, according to RFK Jr., who’s exposing what he calls Bill’s scheme to “monetize philanthropy.” He argues that Gates has ingeniously found a way to monetize his charitable efforts. So, while Bill claims to be donating his fortune for humanity’s sake, RFK Jr. suggests he’s actually profiting substantially from it.

Popular X account “Chief Nerd” shared the video online with this caption:

. . .

Furthermore, according to the Clinton Foundation whistleblowers, Bill Gates’ foundation is the second-largest donor to the Clinton Foundation. That says it all, right?

Report: Border Patrol Reinforces Overwhelmed Area Illegal Alien Numbers Soar

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Border Patrol has called in reinforcements to address the growing challenges posed by an overwhelming number of illegal aliens in a southern Arizona region, according to an internal message obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Agents from the Douglas, Arizona, station are being summoned to support the Tucson migrant processing center, where migrants who illegally cross the border are temporarily held.

As of Sunday evening, Border Patrol has approximately 4,600 illegal migrants in custody within the Tucson sector alone, contributing to a nationwide total of nearly 20,000, according to two Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials who requested anonymity. The reinforcement from Douglas includes agents tasked with “processing and transportation support,” with assignments extending to specialized units, such as horse patrols, and the manning of sensors to detect illegal aliens evading law enforcement.

A memo outlines the deployment of specialty units, stating, “Until further notice, all specialty units (Sensors, HPU, BCL) will report to the Douglas Station and attend musters on their scheduled shifts.” It further specifies that the Horse Patrol Unit (HPU) will maintain one agent for horse care, while the rest will be deployed as needed by the Watch Commander.

The situation in the Tucson sector has reached a critical point, leading the Tucson Border Patrol to announce the temporary shutdown of its social media. Chief Patrol Agent John Modlin of the Tucson Sector tweeted, “At this time, all available personnel are needed to address the unprecedented flow. The social media team will return once the situation permits.”

The ongoing challenges faced by Border Patrol underscore the broader issue of record levels of illegal immigration at the southern border in recent years. In fiscal year 2022, encounters surpassed 2.2 million, followed by over 2 million in fiscal year 2023. Critics, including unnamed DHS officials, attribute the strain on resources to the Biden administration’s policies, emphasizing the need for urgent action to address the escalating crisis. The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has not immediately responded to requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

‘Outrageous’ Photos: Sickening Satanic Christmas Tree on Display at Wisconsin Museum

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Christmas tree festival at the National Railroad Museum in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, has ignited controversy as two displays, one from the Satanic Temple of Wisconsin and another from the Bay Area Council on Gender Diversity, have garnered criticism from locals and Christians. The Satanic Temple’s tree, is covered with pentagrams, and the Gender Diversity tree features trans flags and ornaments.

In a November 12 social media post, The Satanic Temple – Wisconsin shared photos of its tree at the museum, inviting people to view it and highlighting handcrafted ornaments. The disturbing Facebook post includes a child.

Christian pastor Luke Farwell on Fox News stated that Christians should exercise their commitment to free speech while being mindful of offensive content and the potential impact on faith. He invoked the metaphor of the shepherd with two voices—one for the sheep and one for the wolves—to highlight the need for discernment in navigating diverse perspectives during the holiday season:

What I think Christians need to do more is exercise their ability to allow these venues to have the freedom — such as the National Railroad Museum — to host different ideologies and different groups that have different viewpoints, but recognize that Christians find these things to be offensive or definitely targeting them in terms of belittling their faith or how they celebrate the holidays.

Christmas is a time when we celebrate and really rejoice in the fact that God loves this world that we live in and God cares for us. But it also reminds us that we, as adults and parents, remember the Good Shepherd. The shepherd has two voices — one for his sheep and the other for the wolves. And we need to exert that voice.

American-Born Doctor Shocked To Learn His Citizenship Was Revoked Over One Key Reason

/0 Comments/in , , /by

North Virginia doctor Siavash Sobhani stated he was in “shock” after a State Department official allegedly told him his U.S. citizenship was stripped over a bureaucratic reason, according to The Washington Post.

Sobhani, 61, who specializes in internal medicine, received a letter from a State Department official after applying for a new passport in February, according to the outlet. What the north Virginia doctor received, however, was not what he expected as he had gone through the passport renewal process several times previously without any issues.

Sobhani was informed he should have never been granted citizenship in the first place since his father was a diplomat with the Embassy of Iran.

“As a member of your parent’s household at the time of your birth, you also enjoyed full diplomatic immunity from the jurisdiction of the United States,” the letter obtained by The Washington Post stated. “As such, you were born not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Therefore, you did not acquire U.S. citizenship at birth.”

Sobhani was then directed to visit a website where he could apply for a lawful permanent residence, per the letter. Since his discovery, Sobhani has reportedly applied for permanent residence, already spending more than $40,000 in legal fees which may never be resolved, according to The Washington Post.

UFC Fighter Under Investigation for ‘Online Hate Speech’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former UFC champion and Ireland native Conor McGregor is reportedly under investigation for “online hate speech” linked to comments made on social media criticizing Irish authorities for their handling of a suspected Algerian immigrant stabbing five people, including three children, last week.

McGregor, one of Ireland’s most famous citizens with approximately 60 million followers on Instagram and X, weighed in on the assault on social media following the attack, saying, “Ireland, we are at war.”

“Do not let any irish property be took over unannounced,” McGregor said on X. “Evaporate said property. It’s a war.” . . .

Irish Garda commissioner Drew Harris labeled the Dublin riots as “disgraceful scenes” caused by a “hooligan faction driven by far-right ideology.” But the police commissioner’s remarks were met with harsh criticism from UFC superstar.

“Innocent children ruthlessly stabbed by a mentally deranged non-national in Dublin, Ireland today,” McGregor said. “Our chief of police had this to say on the riots in the aftermath. Drew, not good enough. There is grave danger among us in Ireland that should never be here in the first place, and there has been zero action done to support the public in any way, shape or form with this frightening fact. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Make change or make way. Ireland for the victory. God bless those attacked today, we pray.” (Read more from “UFC Fighter Under Investigation for ‘Online Hate Speech’” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A third group of Israeli hostages arrived back in Israel on Sunday evening as part of a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas terrorists.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that based on information from the Red Cross, which has acted as an intermediary between the IDF and the terrorists, the group of hostages that were released included 14 Israelis and three foreign nationals.

The Times of Israel reported that the group of released Israeli hostages included Abigail Idan, 4; Hagar Brodetz, 40, and her children Ofri, 10, Yuval, 9, and Oriya, 4; Chen Almog Goldstein, 48, and Agam, 17, Gal, 11 and Tal, 9; Alma Avraham, 84; Aviva Siegel, 64; sisters Ela, 8 and Dafna, 15, and Elyakim; Roni Krivoi, 25, a dual Russian-Israeli national.

One of the hostages that was released, Abigail Idan, who turned 4 while being held hostage by Hamas terrorists, is a dual U.S. citizen. Both of her parents were murdered by Hamas terrorists in Kfar Aza kibbutz during the October 7 attacks.

U.S. Navy Foils Terrorist Hijacking Attempt of Israeli-Owned Tanker

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a dramatic turn of events, a U.S. Navy destroyer, the USS Mason, successfully thwarted a terrorist hijacking attempt on the Liberian-flagged Central Park chemical tanker, which is owned by Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group. The incident occurred in the Gulf of Aden, where five armed gunmen attempted to seize control of the vessel.

Upon responding to a distress call from the tanker’s crew, the USS Mason intercepted the attempted hijacking, pursuing the ship towards Yemen. According to Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin, warning shots were fired by the U.S. Navy personnel during the pursuit, leading to the apprehension of the five armed hijackers. The terrorists had reportedly boarded the tanker from a skiff, attempting to break into the ship’s Citadel (safe room) where the crew had secured themselves.

This marks the second hijacking attempt on the same vessel in recent days, with Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists previously making a similar effort. In this latest incident, a Japanese destroyer provided assistance to the USS Mason during the interdiction, while two Chinese Navy warships in the vicinity did not offer support.

Despite the hijackers’ attempt to gain access to the safe room, the crew remained secure, prompting the terrorists to exit the vessel and attempt an escape back to Yemen. The U.S. Navy personnel, along with the support of a U.S. helicopter gunship, successfully apprehended the hijackers, who are currently under questioning by the U.S. military under counter-piracy authorities. The incident highlights the ongoing security challenges faced by maritime vessels in the strategically vital waters of the Gulf of Aden.

Professor Barred from Campus Due to Misleading Video: Anti-Israel Activists Misrepresent Statements on Hamas (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

University of Southern California (USC) economics professor John Strauss, who is Jewish, has been barred from campus because of a doctored video circulated by anti-Israel activists who claim he said all Palestinians should be killed.

In fact, as the full video (clumsily included here by an anti-Israel activist) shows, Strauss was referring specifically to the Hamas terrorist organization. Video 1: ” … should be killed, and I hope they are.”

Video 2: ” You people are ignorant. Really ignorant. Hamas are murderers. That’s all they are. Every one of them should be killed, and I hope they are.”

Anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian, and Muslim activists only cited the former video in pushing for USC to take against Strauss.

The Los Angeles Times reported Sunday:

As [Strauss’s] remarks raced across the internet, his condemnation of Hamas was often excised, leaving only his “hope” for “all” to be killed. Captions and comments online framed his demand for “every one” to be killed in myriad, at times deceptive, ways. One Instagram post shared to millions of users claimed falsely that Strauss told the students, “[I] hope you get killed….”
