Trump Makes Stunning Inroads With Young Voters, Not Seen in 24 Years

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump could win the young vote in 2024, polling trends show, upending the nearly 30 year reign of Democrat hegemony among the demographic.

A Republican presidential candidate has not won the young vote since 1988, the year a federal smoking ban was introduced during domestic airline flights of two hours or less and the James Bond film License to Kill began shooting, Michael Jackson led a rock concert in West Berlin, and the space shuttle Discovery took off from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Trump is within two points of Biden among young voters between the ages 18-29, a recent New York Times/Siena Poll found. The vote has not been that close since George W. Bush defeated global warming activist Al Gore in 2000.

Another poll, conducted by Quinnipiac, found Trump leading with registered voters between 18-34 by one point. In 2016, two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won that demographic by 19 percentage points. President Joe Biden won the demographic in 2020 by 24 percentage points, according to CNN exit polling.

Trump’s inroads with young voters appear to turn on a couple of factors:

1. Biden’s economy crushed young voters with high housing costs and overall price spikes by about 20 percent — just as they graduated college, intended to buy their first home, or wanted to start a family.

Bizarre On-Camera Moment as Nathan Wade’s Handler Blocks the Ex-Trump Prosecutor From Revealing When Fani Willis Affair Began

/0 Comments/in , /by

A “media consultant” for Nathan Wade interrupted a taped TV interview Wednesday as the ousted former Donald Trump prosecutor was being grilled on the timeline of his relationship with Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis.

The bizarre moment unfolded after Wade revealed that he still “regularly speaks” with Willis and has told the embattled DA that the election interference case against the former president “will live on” despite his removal.

“When did the romantic relationship between the two of you start?” CNN’s “The Source” host Kaitlan Collins asked Wade before the intrusion.

“Yes, so we get into — there’s been this effort to say that, OK, these exact dates are at issue and these exact dates are,” the former special prosecutor began to respond, when he apparently noticed his handler waving off camera.

“I’m getting — I’m getting signaled here,” Wade said. (Read more from “Bizarre On-Camera Moment as Nathan Wade’s Handler Blocks the Ex-Trump Prosecutor From Revealing When Fani Willis Affair Began” HERE)

FBI Interrogates Co-Workers About Whistleblower’s Views On COVID Vax, Trump, And Second Amendment

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The FBI Security Division questioned employees about a fellow agent’s views on COVID vaccines, Donald Trump, and a Second Amendment rally, according to whistleblower disclosures made to the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General on Saturday. This revelation raises more concerns that the FBI’s leadership has become hopelessly politicized and seeks to purge itself of agents with certain disfavored views.

Late Monday, The Federalist obtained a copy of the June 8, 2024, letter sent by Empower Oversight on behalf of its client, an unnamed whistleblower and now-retired FBI agent, to Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Enclosed with the letter were three separate interview forms used by the FBI Security Division in questioning co-workers about the whistleblower.

The preprinted document opened by stating that the Clearance Investigations Unit was conducting an administrative investigation regarding allegations that the agent had engaged in conduct that called into question his ability to maintain a top-secret security clearance. The introductory comments then informed the FBI employees that they had a duty to reply to the questions and that failure to reply fully could result in their own security clearances being revoked.

A series of questions followed, with co-workers quizzed on whether the agent under investigation had: “Vocalize[d] support for President Trump?” “Vocalized objection to COVID-19 vaccination?” “Vocalized intent to attend 1/6/2021?” The FBI Security Division also required co-workers to state whether they were aware the target of the investigation had attended the Richmond Lobby Day event, which is an annual Second Amendment rally in Virginia.

The Empower Oversight letter stressed the impropriety of these questions by quoting the Supreme Court’s pronouncement: “If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.” (Read more from “FBI Interrogates Co-Workers About Whistleblower’s Views On COVID Vax, Trump, And Second Amendment” HERE)

Record-Breaking Migrant Apprehensions in May for U.S.-Canadian Border Sector Under Biden Administration

/0 Comments/in , /by

Swanton, VT – The Swanton Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol, responsible for monitoring the Canadian border along eastern New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire, reported a historic number of migrant apprehensions in May. Over 3,000 migrants were arrested, setting a new monthly record for the sector and bringing the total number of apprehensions for the current fiscal year to over 10,000, surpassing any previous annual record.

According to unofficial Border Patrol reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas, the surge in migrant encounters this year is unprecedented. Swanton Sector Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia highlighted this record-breaking trend in a social media post, noting that the apprehensions so far this fiscal year (beginning October 1, 2023) have already exceeded the total for the entirety of 2023, which was itself a record-setting year with 6,925 arrests.

Garcia’s report also pointed out that the number of apprehensions in April alone surpassed the combined totals of fiscal years 2021 and 2022. This dramatic increase underscores a significant rise in illegal entries into the U.S. through the northern border during the Biden administration. Since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, Swanton Sector agents have arrested over 18,000 migrants — more than all arrests dating back to fiscal year 2004 combined.

The increase in illegal crossings has prompted concerns and criticism, as the sector struggles to manage the unprecedented influx. Chief Patrol Agent Garcia’s updates on social media have brought attention to the challenges faced by border agents in the region.

“Another record-breaking milestone in northern border history! Swanton Sector continues to encounter an unprecedented number of undocumented migrants, with well over 1,400 apprehensions in the month of April, surpassing the total number of apprehensions of FY 21 and FY 22 combined,” Garcia tweeted in May.

The Swanton Sector’s escalating numbers highlight the growing complexities of border security in the region and the need for effective measures to address the influx of migrants attempting to cross the U.S.-Canadian border.

Newly-Deciphered Manuscript Reveals Oldest Known Record of Jesus’ Childhood

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A recently deciphered manuscript dating back more than 1,600 years has been identified as the earliest known account of Jesus Christ’s childhood, marking an extraordinary discovery in early Christian literature.

The manuscript, written on papyrus in the 4th or 5th century, had been stored unnoticed for decades in a Hamburg library. Initially thought to be an insignificant document, it has now been decoded by two experts who reveal it as the earliest surviving copy of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas.

“The papyrus fragment is of extraordinary interest for research,” stated Lajos Berkes, a theology lecturer and one of the decipherers, in a press release. Initially mistaken for a mundane document due to its clumsy handwriting, the manuscript was identified as significant upon the recognition of the name Jesus within the text. Through careful comparison with other digitized papyri, Berkes and his colleague were able to decipher the text letter by letter, confirming its importance.

The fragment contains 13 lines in Greek letters, originating from late antique Egypt, a region that was a Christian society at the time. It narrates the “vivification of the sparrows,” a story where a young Jesus turns 12 clay sparrows into living birds. According to the text, a five-year-old Jesus was playing by a stream, molding sparrows from clay. When rebuked by his father Joseph, Jesus clapped his hands, bringing the clay figures to life. This tale is recognized as Jesus’ second miracle in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas.

The Infancy Gospel of Thomas, dating back to the 2nd century, depicts various stories from Christ’s childhood and was popular in Antiquity and the Middle Ages. However, the text was not included in the Bible due to doubts about its accuracy among early Christian writers. Previously, the oldest known Greek version of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas was an 11th-century codex. The newly-deciphered papyrus fragment predates this by 600 years, making it a remarkable find.

Gabriel Nocchi Macedo, the other expert involved in the decoding, emphasized the significance of their findings. “Our findings on this late antique Greek copy of the work confirm the current assessment that the Infancy Gospel according to Thomas was originally written in Greek,” Macedo stated.

Biden’s Anti-Gun Speech Was a Trainwreck (VIDEO)

/2 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden delivered an anti-gun speech hours after his son, Hunter, was convicted on federal gun charges. It’s no shock that White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre opted not to brief the press, scurrying away like a scared wombat to avoid the obvious questions about this part of Biden’s schedule. Biden delivered this address at Everytown for Gun Safety’s Gun Sense University in Washington, D.C. It was an absolute trainwreck.

The father of a gun felon delivering a speech on gun control—you can’t make that up. It was riddled with inaccuracies and overall strangeness. Biden spoke about how he convinced a Delaware fisherman to relinquish his “assault weapon.” Then, there was this jabberwocky about magazines that could carry “200 shells,” botched a Thomas Jefferson quote, spoke about teaching jobs he never had, and then trotted the lie that no one could own a cannon. The president also said that guns kill more children than car accidents or cancer and that the gun industry is the only sector protected by a legal shield–all of which are lies.

College Freshman, 19, Dies After Taking Just One Percocet — That Was Really Fentanyl

/0 Comments/in , /by

A 19-year-old college freshman from New York died of a fentanyl overdose after taking just one pill she believed to be Percocet, according to her grieving family.

Paige Gibbons, of Pittsford, was attending Hobart and William Smith Colleges with dreams of becoming a doctor when she and a friend popped what they were told was a Percocet pill in Nov. 2022.

“She was at a friend’s house, the parents were home, she and her friend were going to take a Percocet, which she thought was a Percocet,” Paige’s father, David Gibbons said in an interview with New York’s Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS).

“Unbeknownst to them, it was not a Percocet — it was 100% fentanyl,” he said.

Hours later, a police officer knocked on the Gibbons’ front door and told them that their daughter died of an overdose. (Read more from “College Freshman, 19, Dies After Taking Just One Percocet — That Was Really Fentanyl” HERE)

Hunter Biden Gun Trial Verdict Will Be Used as Distraction From Biden Corruption

/1 Comment/in , /by

Hunter Biden receiving a felony conviction on three gun charges in Delaware allows the left to claim “no one is above the law,” while distracting from the much more serious allegations against the first son— and his father.

The case Hunter was convicted in Tuesday — relating to an illegal gun purchase in 2018 — is a distraction from the obvious corruption by the Biden scion that has been public for many years and which includes his father, according to a mountain of evidence uncovered both by journalists and the House Oversight Committee, and which dwarfs the gun crime in damage to society.

So there is now a narrative dash by Democrats and the media to lump Hunter’s entire situation into this one case, insinuate that they have all been reconciled because he was found “guilty,” and then conveniently claim justice is blind, following the obviously political conviction of Donald Trump.

“This verdict certainly flies in the face of everything that the former president has been pushing, trying to undermine the legal and the justice system,” ABC News’ Rachel Scott said Tuesday. “And we know President Biden has come out very strongly against that. And it was notable that he told you just days ago that he would respect the outcome of this verdict regardless of what happens.”

Within minutes of Hunter’s guilty verdict being announced, Democratic Party activists in the media raced to proclaim it meant “a really good day for the American system,” “the law applies to everybody,” and that Joe Biden is the “living embodiment of the rule of law”!

Green Beret Launches Attack on Pentagon ‘Pride Month’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Recently, in celebration of June being “Pride Month,” the Pentagon presented the 13th Annual LGBTQI+ Pride Ceremony. Hosted by the DOD Association of LGBTQI+ Service Members, Employees, and Allies, the “Pride event” featured several speakers, including Navy Rear Admiral Mike Brown, division director for Operations in the Information Environment.

Brown, described as “a long-time member of DOD pride,” began his talk (at 33:57), declaring “Happy Pride!” in an attempt to fire up the audience. In 2014, he talked publicly about his struggle “coming out” as a gay man who, at the time, had a wife and children. Since overcoming his “shame, guilt and self-loathing,” Brown now makes it a point to “make [himself] visible to sailors and civilians in the Navy.”

However, many service members are horrified by such spectacles, as well as by the movement behind them, holding that the imposition of so-called “diversity, equity and inclusion” and LGBT ideologies on the nation’s military promotes immorality, advances perverse priorities and seriously weakens and undermines America’s military readiness.

One of them is John Frankman, a former captain and U.S. Army Green Beret, who told WND the forces behind the LGBT and DEI ideology are “pushing a new set of moral standards and values on the military.” He fears that the acceptance and participation in Pride events by service members is “virtue signaling” and nothing more than “someone trying to get ahead in the military that’s moving in a very liberal direction.”

“It’s showing someone’s loyalty to the Democratic Party, attempting to control the direction that the federal government and other federal agencies are going,” said Frankman. “It’s a religion to these people, but what they need is a moral theology.” (Read more from “Green Beret Launches Attack on Pentagon ‘Pride Month'” HERE)

This Reporter Had the Perfect Response to the Leftist Lunacy Over Israel’s Hostage Raid

/1 Comment/in , , /by

All that can be said about his clip is well done. Sky News Australia’s James Macpherson is a gem for standing up to the lunacy that’s pervaded his industry and academia when it comes to Israel. In eight minutes, his commentary shreds the leftist lunacy over Israel’s justified war in Gaza against Hamas. Last weekend, four Israeli hostages were rescued. Some 100-200 Palestinians were reportedly killed in the raid, which sparked outrage from the antisemitic and anti-Israel clowns who think genocide is being committed in the region.

Civilians were detaining these hostages in apartments in densely populated areas. Hamas terrorists fired rocket-propelled grenades and other ordinances to fend off IDF forces. What’s puzzling Macpherson is why are so many people angrier at Israel for rescuing its hostages than the Hamas thugs who took them over 246 days ago. He also gave some helpful tips, albeit tongue-in-cheek, like if you don’t want to die or have your apartment blown up, maybe don’t keep hostages there.

Second, is anyone curious as to why Hamas was firing grenade launchers into densely packed areas where people would get killed? Is it because they never cared about the civilian population, which explains why bomb shelters for civilians were never built in case the IDF launched an offensive operation in the region, operations that IDF forces provide forewarning? With these operations, no warnings were given for one simple reason: it would have led to the deaths of the hostages.

The Left is mourning the deaths of terrorists, and, as Macpherson noted, it’s ridiculous. He spoke at length about the tweet posted by Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, which is so dense, so detached from reality, and offensively anti-Israel that it only warrants how Macpherson responded to it: “Honestly, some things are so stupid, you’d have to be a UN official to say them.” (Read more from “This Reporter Had the Perfect Response to the Leftist Lunacy Over Israel’s Hostage Raid” HERE)
