Government Banning Prayer? It’s Already Happened in One Location

/2 Comments/in , , /by

One Australian state, Victoria, already has adopted laws that essentially make practicing Christianity, specifically prayer, a crime, and a commentary at The Daily Signal warns America is heading that direction with its bans on “conversion therapy.”

Conversion therapy is a derogatory term for counseling that encourages those who have unwanted same-sex attractions to live the lives they choose, and provides them skills to use to pursue their goals.

It’s been banned in many locations in America by lawmakers and others kowtowing to the ideology of the LGBT agenda. Quite literally in many locations, but not all, they’ve succeeded in promoting pro-LGBT counseling, but banning anti-LGBT discussions.

“It seems that the transgender movement aims to demonize any attempt to delay experimental medical interventions on children using the ‘conversion therapy’ label,” the commentary explained. “Victoria’s law condemning certain forms of prayer seems beyond the pale for Americans, but 27 states, along with Washington, D.C., and one U.S. territory have laws banning ‘conversion therapy’ for minors, according to the pro-LGBTQ Movement Advancement Project.”

The author, Tyler O’Neil, explained, “These laws only allow therapy in one direction; namely, for an LGBTQ identity—even if a patient expresses a desire to overcome unwanted feelings of same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria.

Church Officials Claim ‘Husband’ and ‘Wife’ Are ‘Hurtful’ Words

/1 Comment/in , /by

Franklin Graham, the popular evangelist who heads the Samaritan’s Purse worldwide Christian charity as well as the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association that his famous father started, is scolding officials of the Methodist church in the United Kingdom.

It’s because they’re telling ministers that using the words “husband” and “wife” is “hurtful.”

The church’s ideology comes from the worldwide agenda to promote the LGBT lifestyle choices. Those lifestyles made the use of those words awkward because, for instance, when two men are “married,” which is the husband, or are both?

Graham, online, wrote, “The Methodist Church in the United Kingdom has released its own ‘Inclusive Church Language Guide’ that urges ministers and church-goers to avoid using words such as ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ (and more) because those terms can be ‘hurtful’ and ‘offensive.'”

He scolded: “Shame on the Methodist Church. These are biblical terms—and marriage between a man and a woman is biblical truth. The word ‘wife’ is used in some 360 verses in 38 books of the Bible.” (Read more from “Church Officials Claim ‘Husband’ and ‘Wife’ Are ‘Hurtful’ Words” HERE)

Woman Granted Permission to Have Sperm Extracted From Deceased Husband

/1 Comment/in , /by

A 62-year-old Australian woman was given the right to extract sperm from her deceased husband and is facing a legal battle to be able to use it.

According to the New York Post, the woman was looking to conceive a child via surrogate when her 61-year-old husband passed away last month. The woman, whose name was not published, presented an “urgent” case to the Supreme Court to have her husband’s sperm tissue removed from his body.

Before the husband’s death, the two were reportedly discussing having another child after their 29-year-old daughter drowned on a fishing trip in 2013 and their 30-year-old son died in a car accident in 2019.

However, the use of reproductive cells after death is against the law in Western Australia, where the woman lives. She will have to apply to the country’s Reproductive Technology Council to use the sperm in another state where it is legal to do so (via NYP):

While the wife had been told that she could not conceive due to her age, the husband’s sperm was previously tested and deemed suitable for in-vitro fertilization, wherein a female egg is fertilized by male sperm in a lab before being implanted in the carrier.

The woman’s cousin, who is in her 20s and lives in the Philippines, had even volunteered to be the couple’s surrogate, the court heard.

At the time of the man’s death, however, the couple was still grappling with legal obstacles to the surrogacy, which would have required them to live in the Philippines for a while, the documents explained.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Is ‘Actively Involved in Talks’ With Several Potential VP Picks

/5 Comments/in , /by

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Wednesday his campaign is vetting people to be his running mate in 2024.

Kennedy’s campaign is “actively involved in talks with a number of individuals” about joining his presidential ticket, he said during an event in Salt Lake City celebrating his campaign gaining access to the ballot in the state. Utah is the only state so far to allow the independent candidate to appear on its ballot after Kennedy met the 1,000-signature requirement to do so.

Kennedy did not reveal any contenders for the vice presidential position on his ticket, but one of the difficulties facing his campaign includes finding a vice president to join his ticket, as 27 states, per Kennedy’s count, require having a running mate to gain access to the ballot.

Former Producer Unveils Shocking Revelation: Ghislaine Maxwell Allegedly Hid Bill Clinton Sex Tapes to Protect Hillary’s 2016 Run

/3 Comments/in , , /by

A new book by former CBS producer Ira Rosen, titled “Ticking Clock: Behind the Scenes at 60 Minutes,” is shedding new light on the sordid web surrounding the late Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The book reveals startling claims that Maxwell, currently facing charges related to her alleged involvement in Epstein’s illicit activities, refused to disclose the location of sex tapes involving former President Bill Clinton. The reason, as per Rosen’s account, was to protect Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Maxwell is currently in prison, facing charges that include conspiracy, enticement of a minor, transporting minors for illegal sex acts, and perjury, all tied to allegations of procuring underage victims for Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking. With her trial scheduled for July 2021, Maxwell denies all charges, potentially facing up to 35 years in prison if convicted.

According to the Daily Mail’s report on Rosen’s book, the former CBS producer recounts a conversation with Maxwell in 2016, where he sought footage of Donald Trump that Epstein might have recorded. In response, Maxwell allegedly implied the existence of tapes featuring Bill Clinton but refused to divulge their whereabouts.

“I want the tapes. I know [Epstein] was videotaping everyone, and I want the tapes of Trump with the girls,” Rosen said during the meeting.

Maxwell’s response, as detailed by Rosen, was, “I don’t know where they are,” leading him to believe that she was acknowledging the existence of such tapes.

In a tense exchange, Rosen pressed Maxwell, expressing concern about the potential impact of the tapes on the 2016 election. “Trump could be elected president, and how would you feel if those tapes emerged after he was in office?” Rosen reportedly asked.

Maxwell, however, remained steadfast, emphasizing her stance by pointing a finger at Rosen. “I am the daughter of a press baron. I know the way you people think. If you do one side, you must do the other. If you get the tapes on Trump, you have to do Clinton,” she reportedly said.

According to Rosen’s account, Maxwell, who did not want Trump elected, believed Hillary Clinton was comfortably ahead in the race, seeing no need for the potentially damaging story to come to light. Moreover, Maxwell claimed that Epstein never disclosed the location of the tapes to her.

Trump Predicts Fed’s Election-Year Move: Lowering Rates to Aid Democrats

/3 Comments/in , /by

In an exclusive interview with the Breitbart Business Digest (BBD) at Mar-a-Lago last week, former President Donald Trump shared his views on the state of the U.S. economy and made a bold prediction for the upcoming election year. Among the topics discussed, Trump expressed his critique of what he termed “Bidenomics” and went on to predict that the Federal Reserve would lower interest rates to support the Democratic nominee in the general election.

Trump indicated that it was not effective branding for President Joe Biden. He associated it with inflation, a struggling economy, high taxes, chaos, and what he deemed as “stupidity.” Despite being used by Biden himself, Trump suggested that the term might work against the current administration’s messaging and branding efforts. His insights into the economic challenges posed by what he dubbed “Bidenflation” align with his broader critique of the Biden administration’s fiscal policies.

Trump went further to issue a warning to the American public, suggesting that if Democrats retain the White House and secure Congress in the upcoming elections, taxes could be raised. With the nation already grappling with the impacts of inflation, Trump’s prediction raises concerns about the potential additional financial burden on American families.

One of the most intriguing revelations from the interview was Trump’s prediction regarding the Federal Reserve’s role in the election year. The former president opined that the Federal Reserve, led by Chairman Jerome Powell, would likely lower interest rates specifically to aid the Democratic nominee, possibly Joe Biden. Trump recalled past instances during his administration when he claimed to influence Powell’s decisions through what he referred to as “jawboning.”

Trump acknowledged the potential controversy of such a move, recognizing that lowering rates in an election year as interference.

In a particularly striking moment during the interview, Trump repeatedly issued a dire economic prediction, stating, “If I don’t win, you’re going to end up with a depression.” Emphasizing the letter “d,” Trump painted a grim picture of the economic consequences he foresaw if his anticipated scenario did not unfold.

Lawyer for Epstein’s Victims Says Trump Was the Only Powerful Figure Who Helped Him With Investigation

/6 Comments/in , , /by

A video resurfaced Tuesday of attorney Bradley Edwards discussing former President Donald Trump’s attitude and actions toward late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein following the latter’s first arrest.

Edwards has represented more than 70 victims of Jeffrey Epstein since 2009, and is largely credited with helping bring the child sex trafficker to justice. In a video that circulated online Tuesday, and originally released by the Conscious Resistance Network in 2018, Edwards told the site’s founder Derrick Broze about his perspective on Trump’s involvement in the situation.

Broze cited a case brought against Trump by two former alleged victims of Epstein, which was dropped before reaching court, and asked Edwards’ his opinion of the validity of the claims.

“The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he is the only person who in 2009, when I served a lot of subpoenas against a lot of people … he is the only person that picked up the phone and said, ‘let’s just talk, I’ll give ya as much time as you want, I’ll tell ya what you need to know,’” Bradley explained.

“And [Trump] was very helpful in the information that he gave, and gave no indication whatsoever that he was involved in anything untoward whatsoever,” Bradley continued. “But [he] had good information, that checked out, and that helped us, and that we didn’t have to take a deposition of him.” (Read more from “Lawyer for Epstein’s Victims Says Trump Was the Only Powerful Figure Who Helped Him With Investigation” HERE)

Senator Bob Menendez Faces New Charges of Foreign Bribery

/4 Comments/in , /by

Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) finds himself mired in yet another legal battle as a federal grand jury files a second superseding indictment, adding new layers to the existing allegations of bribery and acting as a foreign agent. The New Jersey Democrat, who pleaded not guilty to previous charges last September, now faces additional accusations related to his purported involvement in promoting positive statements about Qatar to secure a multimillion-dollar investment for a New Jersey developer.

The latest indictment sheds light on Menendez’s alleged efforts to facilitate a significant investment from a Qatari company into a project involving New Jersey developer Fred Daibes. According to NBC News, Menendez is accused of making favorable statements about Qatar during discussions in late 2021 and early 2022, aimed at influencing a Qatari investor and a government official associated with the Qatari Investment Company.

The indictment suggests that Menendez provided Daibes with statements intended for the Qatari investor and government official, emphasizing his role in the alleged scheme. Prosecutors claim that text messages exchanged between Menendez and Daibes further implicate the senator in the dealings. In one instance, Daibes reportedly sent Menendez photos of luxury watches and asked if he was interested, indicating a potential link between the gifts and the investment discussions.

Federal prosecutors also revealed web searches conducted by Menendez after his return from a trip to Qatar in October 2021, where he allegedly searched for “how much is one kilo of gold worth.” The search, according to prosecutors, suggests Menendez’s potential involvement in gold-related transactions.

The indictment implicates Menendez in introducing Daibes to an unnamed Qatari investor, identified as a member of the Qatari royal family. Following a May 2022 meeting involving Menendez, Daibes, and the Qatari investor, a deal was struck for the Qatari company to invest in Daibes’ project. As part of the transaction, Daibes allegedly gifted Menendez “at least one gold bar.”

These new revelations add another layer of complexity to the legal challenges faced by Senator Menendez, whose colleagues have previously distanced themselves due to his involvement in federal corruption probes.

Ex-CIA Analyst Describes ‘Fundamental Change’ Taking Place in the Agency Due to Policies ‘Implemented by Obama’

/6 Comments/in , , /by

Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst Dr. John Gentry detailed Tuesday the “fundamental change” taking place at the agency due to former Obama-era policies.

Gentry appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” to discuss the difference he sees within the agency now compared to when he was working. Fox Host Jesse Watters asked the former analyst to describe “how the agency uses DEI” to deceive the public.

Gentry stated the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies implemented by former President Barack Obama in 2011 have been “accelerated” by the Biden administration to “hire people” based on personal common interests.

“Well, it’s using DEI policies, particularly that implemented by President Obama in 2011. And again, accelerated really in the Biden years, to hire people who, as you say, are more likely to be interested in the kinds of policies that you’re talking about,” Gentry stated.

“What they’ve done also is make a conscious effort to change the organizational culture of the CIA. John Brennan was mentioned in the video you just showed — he said explicitly in his book that he intended to change the organizational culture.” (Read more from “Ex-CIA Analyst Describes ‘Fundamental Change’ Taking Place in the Agency Due to Policies ‘Implemented by Obama'” HERE)

Assassination Attempt on South Korean Opposition Leader: Shocking Video Unveils Attack

/6 Comments/in , /by

In a shocking incident that unfolded in the southern city of Busan, South Korean opposition leader Lee Jae-myung, Chairman of the Democratic Party and a prominent figure in the National Assembly, narrowly escaped an assassination attempt. The brazen attack occurred as Lee visited the site of the city’s new airport, turning a routine political event into a scene of chaos and terror.

Video footage captured the chilling moment when an unidentified assailant lunged at Lee Jae-myung through the press pool, stabbing him in the neck. The attack took place while Lee was engaged in his official duties, highlighting the vulnerability of political figures even during seemingly routine public appearances.

According to reports from NBC News, the injury sustained by Lee was deemed “non-life-threatening,” with little blood loss. A police official in Busan confirmed that the wound was less than half an inch long and assured that the opposition leader was conscious and experienced minimal blood loss during the attack.

The swift response from law enforcement resulted in the apprehension of the male suspect, who is now in custody. Photos circulating in the aftermath of the incident depicted Lee on the ground, surrounded by concerned individuals, with someone applying pressure to his neck. Another image showed him being carried on a stretcher equipped with what appeared to be a neck brace.

South Korea’s President, Yoon Suk Yeol, swiftly condemned the politically motivated violence and ordered an immediate and thorough response to the incident. A presidential spokesperson conveyed President Yoon’s directive for police and other officials to act swiftly, ensuring that Lee receives “the best of care” following the shocking assassination attempt.
