Report: Joe Biden Is ‘Angry and Anxious’ About Lagging Reelection Campaign

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrat President Joe Biden is “angry and anxious” about his struggling reelection campaign, NBC News reports.

Things are so bad inside the White House that, at one recent meeting where advisers informed Biden of his falling poll numbers in battleground states like Michigan and Georgia, Biden then began yelling and cursing at staffers.

“President Joe Biden was seething,” NBC’s Peter Nicholas, Courtney Kube, and Carol E. Lee wrote on Sunday. “In a private meeting at the White House in January, allies of the president had just told him that his poll numbers in Michigan and Georgia had dropped over his handling of the war between Israel and Hamas. Both are battleground states he narrowly won four years ago, and he can’t afford any backsliding if he is to once again defeat Donald Trump. He began to shout and swear, a lawmaker familiar with the meeting said. He believed he had been doing what was right, despite the political fallout, he told the group, according to the lawmaker.”

White House spokesman Andrew Bates told NBC News about the incident in January: “President Biden makes national security decisions based on the country’s national security needs alone — no other factor.”

But whatever spin the White House and Biden’s campaign puts on the situation, the facts are clear: Biden is losing this election right now. Biden has only fallen worse since January. Polls across nearly every battleground state show former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president in 2024 and Biden’s general election opponent, leading the current president significantly.

Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade Resigns Amid Fani Willis Controversy

/7 Comments/in , /by

In a dramatic turn of events, Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade resigned from his position in the high-profile Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump. The resignation came following a ruling by Judge Scott McAfee, who demanded that either Wade or Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis step down from the case due to concerns over conflicts of interest and impropriety.

The backdrop to Wade’s resignation is a saga of allegations, accusations, and courtroom drama that has gripped the attention of the nation. At the heart of the matter lies the integrity of the 2020 presidential election and the alleged attempts to overturn its results. However, amidst the legal proceedings, questions surrounding the conduct of those involved have emerged, casting a shadow over the pursuit of justice.

Judge McAfee’s ruling underscored the seriousness of the situation, highlighting what he described as a “tremendous lapse in judgment” on the part of Willis. While stopping short of disqualifying Willis from the case, the judge’s decision prompted Wade to tender his resignation in the interest of upholding the principles of democracy and ensuring the swift progression of the legal proceedings.


Wade’s resignation, though a significant development, does little to quell the controversy surrounding the case. Allegations of misconduct and favoritism continue to loom large, with accusations flying from both sides of the legal divide. Willis, in accepting Wade’s resignation, acknowledged the challenges ahead but remained resolute in her commitment to pursuing justice.

The resignation of Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade marks a pivotal moment in the Georgia election interference case, but it is unlikely to bring an end to the turmoil that has engulfed it. As the legal proceedings continue, the spotlight will remain firmly fixed on those involved, with the eyes of the nation watching intently as the quest for justice unfolds.

Boeing’s Woes Continue: Another Blowout Incident Raises Concerns (VIDEO)

/2 Comments/in , /by

Boeing, once a stalwart in the aviation industry, finds itself ensnared in a seemingly never-ending cycle of public relations nightmares. Just when it seemed the company might be emerging from the shadows of past controversies, another incident has thrust it back into the spotlight, prompting questions about its safety protocols and manufacturing practices.

The latest debacle involves a United Airlines flight, which departed from San Francisco International Airport only to encounter a harrowing mid-air event. A panel on the Boeing 737-800 aircraft unexpectedly blew off during the flight, forcing the crew to make an emergency landing in Oregon. While the plane landed safely, the incident has reignited concerns about the safety and reliability of Boeing’s aircraft.

This incident comes on the heels of a previous blowout involving the 737 Max 9, which occurred during a routine flight from Portland, Oregon, to Ontario, California, in January. Following the discovery of loose screws in multiple fuselages during safety inspections, the aircraft was grounded, prompting an investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) into Boeing’s manufacturing practices.

Despite the resumption of flights for the 737 Max 9, the specter of safety concerns continues to haunt Boeing. The recurrence of blowout incidents raises alarming questions about the company’s ability to address underlying issues and ensure the safety of passengers and crew members.

United Airlines, in response to the recent incident, has pledged to conduct a thorough examination of the affected aircraft and implement necessary repairs before returning it to service. Additionally, an investigation will be launched to determine the cause of the damage and prevent similar occurrences in the future.

For Boeing, the road ahead appears fraught with challenges as it grapples with the fallout from yet another safety-related incident. The company’s reputation, already tarnished by previous controversies, now faces further scrutiny, casting doubt on its ability to regain the trust of consumers and regulators alike.

As Boeing navigates through this latest crisis, stakeholders will be closely monitoring its response and efforts to address systemic issues within its operations. The aviation giant must demonstrate a firm commitment to safety and transparency if it hopes to emerge from this ordeal with its reputation intact.

Schools to Let Students Opt out of Holocaust Lesson, Citing Students With ‘Different Experiences’

/3 Comments/in , /by

Virginia’s largest school district will let students skip a presentation from a Holocaust survivor, saying the diverse district includes students with “different experiences.”

“We understand that all students have different experiences. If you prefer to opt your child out from participating in this presentation, please email your child’s history teacher and they will be provided an alternate assignment. Please email your child’s history teacher with any questions that you may have,” a letter from Cooper Middle School said.

The letter referred to a scheduled presentation from a Holocaust survivor to seventh-graders, according to Adele Scalia, a mother of one of those middle schoolers.

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) claimed it is advertising an opt-out for the benefit of Jews.

“Each year, Cooper MS invites a Holocaust survivor to speak with students to affirm meaningful learning experiences that increase representation of all identity groups that are essential to student learning. Some Jewish students have previously expressed discomfort while engaging in dialogue around this visit. For that reason, school leadership makes every effort to partner with families of these students, who are 12 and 13 years old, to keep them informed. This opt-out allows the family the opportunity to make the best informed decision on behalf of their student,” it said in a statement to The Daily Wire.

Mystery Drones Swarmed U.S. Air Force Base for Weeks

/7 Comments/in , , /by

Unmanned drones flew around Langley Air Force Base in Virginia for several weeks last December, U.S. Air Force officials confirmed on Friday.

The drones were first noted on Dec. 6, 2023, according to officials, and fluctuated in size and configuration. It is unclear whether the drones also swarmed nearby defense facilities during this time, such as the U.S. Army’s Fort Eustis.

“None of the incursions appeared to exhibit hostile intent but anything flying in our restricted airspace can pose a threat to flight safety,” a spokesperson for Langley Air Force Base told the War Zone. “The [Federal Aviation Administration] was made aware of the UAS incursions. To protect operational security, we do not discuss impacts to operations. We [also] don’t discuss our specific force protection measures but retain the right to protect the installation. Langley continues to monitor our air space and work with local law enforcement and other federal agencies to ensure the safety of base personnel, facilities, and assets.”

Although none of the drones appeared hostile, Langley Air Force Base is located in one of the most strategic areas of the country and plays an important role in protecting the country’s airspace. Langley is also one of just a few bases that houses F-22 Raptor stealth fighters. (Read more from “Mystery Drones Swarmed U.S. Air Force Base for Weeks” HERE)

Former Vice President Mike Pence Says He’s Not Endorsing Trump

/6 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Mike Pence says he will not be backing Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” Pence said in an interview with Fox News Channel Friday, weighing in for the first time since the former president became the presumptive GOP nominee. Pence ran against Trump for their party’s nomination but dropped his bid before voting began last year.

The decision makes Pence the latest in a series of senior Trump administration officials who have declined to endorse their former boss’s bid to return to the Oval Office. While Republican members of Congress and other GOP officials have largely rallied behind Trump, a vocal minority has continued to oppose his bid.

It also marks the end of a metamorphosis for Pence, who had long been seen as one of Trump‘s most loyal defenders but broke with his two-time running mate by refusing to go along with Trump‘s unconstitutional scheme to try to remain in power after losing the 2020 election. When Trump‘s supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, trying to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s win, Pence was forced to flee to a Senate loading dock as rioters chanted, “Hang Mike Pence!” outside.

Trouble Might Be Coming for Members of the January 6th Committee

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Rep. Barry Loudermilk, who serves as the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight, released a report which called out many of the narratives we had previously been force fed about January 6, 2021. Now, he’s saying that criminal referrals could come for those involved, at least at some point down the road.

In an interview with Just the News, he addressed how accountability is warranted, though he also wants more information. The write-up described Loudermilk as “frustrated that videotapes of interviews, transcripts and other evidence that Congress gathered under the prior Jan. 6 inquiry run by Democrats was deleted, destroyed, moved to other federal agencies or locked behind passwords that have not been recovered, and he believes some form of accountability is warranted.”

What’s particularly telling is what Loudermilk had to say about Cheney’s involvement:

“As far as holding people accountable, yes, they should be,” Loudermilk said during an interview with Just the News, No Noise television show. “But I think that’s going to be a little ways down the road, because there is so much more information that we need to get. And we need to build not only this, to get the truth out to the American people, but see just how big this case potentially is for obstructing.”

Loudermilk also took a shot at Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the former chairman of the Jan 6 Select Committee, saying he believes Thompson left control of decisions of the committee to his former Republican vice chairwoman, ex-Rep. Liz Cheney.

Police Tell Residents to Leave Car Keys Where Thieves Can Grab Them

/2 Comments/in , , /by

A police officer in one major city has advised residents, amid an explosion in the number of car thefts, to leave their car keys where thieves can easily grab them.

The apparent goal is to avoid a “confrontation” with thieves who would break into a home to steal car keys, in order then to steal that car.

The advice comes from Toronto, Canada, police constable Marco Ricciardi who was at a town meeting recently in the municipality of Etobicoke.

“To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your FOBs at your front door. Because they’re breaking into your home to steal your car. They don’t want anything else,” he said. “A lot of them that they’re arresting have guns on them. And they’re not toy guns, they’re real guns. They’re loaded.”

A report from Fox News notes that car thefts have spiked in the area. Toronto auto thefts were 5,000 in 2019, but exploded to more than 12,000 last year. (Read more from “Police Tell Residents to Leave Car Keys Where Thieves Can Grab Them” HERE)

Governor Says Florida Officers Nabbed Boat With Armed Haitians

/4 Comments/in , /by

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Friday his state’s law enforcement intercepted a boat of possible illegal Haitian immigrants with weapons and narcotics.

DeSantis deployed on Wednesday 250 Florida State Guard forces and law enforcement officers to protect against a potential influx of illegal Haitian migrants. Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) officers stopped the boat, which was moving in a way that could have been dangerous, the governor said.

“Our Florida Fish and Wildlife officers interdicted a vessel that had 25 illegal immigrants, potential illegal immigrants, from Haiti. In their boat, in their vessel, they had firearms, they had drugs, they had night vision gear and were boating very recklessly, which would potentially endanger other folks,” DeSantis asserted.

The interception took place at around 7:30 PM on Feb. 29, according to a FWC press release.

“Immediately upon stopping the vessel, the officers knew they had intercepted a human smuggling operation,” the press release reads. “The operator of the vessel was armed and onboard; lying prone on the deck of the boat, they discovered 25 individuals, including five unaccompanied children, illegally entering the country. In addition to the individuals onboard, officers discovered firearms, night vision gear and drugs.” (Read more from “Governor Says Florida Officers Nabbed Boat With Armed Haitians” HERE)

West Point Removes ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ From Mission Statement

/2 Comments/in , /by

The mission statement of West Point will no longer include the words “duty, honor, country,” as the over 220-year-old military academy choses to adopt a new mission statement based on “Army Values.”

The military academy announced the proposed change on Monday, saying that the edits to the decades-old mission statement have already been approved by the Secretary of the Army and the Army Chief of Staff. West Point will still retain “duty, honor, country,” as the academy’s motto, saying that the changes to the mission statement came after a year and a half long assessment.

West Point’s new mission statement will be: “To build, educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets to be commissioned leaders of character committed to the Army Values and ready for a lifetime of service to the Army and Nation.”

The academy explained the change by saying that it was part of routine examination of the mission of the institution.

“Our responsibility to produce leaders to fight and win our nation’s wars requires us to assess ourselves regularly,” West Point said. “Thus, over the past year and a half, working with leaders from across West Point and external stakeholders, we reviewed our vision, mission, and strategy to serve this purpose. We believe our mission binds the Academy to the Army — the Army in which our cadets will serve.” (Read more from “West Point Removes ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ From Mission Statement” HERE)
