Congressional Dems Apparently Want to ‘Biden-Proof’ Their Campaigns as President Continues to Tank in Polls

/0 Comments/in , /by

Some Congressional Democrats are apparently looking to distance their campaigns from President Joe Biden as they head into the 2024 election, according to Axios.

Five months out from the 2024 election, President Joe Biden is struggling in head-to-head matchups, both nationally and across key swing states, against former President Donald Trump. The poor polling coming from Biden have caused several Democratic lawmakers to “Biden-proof” their campaign in an effort to help boost their already close races, the candidates told Axios.

“[There is] more distancing now as his numbers continue to tank,” one House Democrat told the outlet, saying his campaign was “pretty much washing my hands of his campaign.”

The candidates distancing their campaigns from Biden is an alternative to publicly “rejecting” the president, Democratic incumbents, candidates and operatives told the outlet.

“[There is] always an element where you run your own race,” but “it’s even more pronounced,” a House Democrat told Axios. (Read more from “Congressional Dems Apparently Want to ‘Biden-Proof’ Their Campaigns as President Continues to Tank in Polls” HERE)

The US Is Facing an ‘Out of Control’ STI Epidemic, Experts Warn

/11 Comments/in , /by

The US is dealing with an “out-of-control” epidemic of sexually transmitted infections, according to the National Coalition of STD Directors.

The warning, issued in January, followed the release of an annual data report on STIs by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The exasperation of public health officials can be felt in the very first sentence of the online announcement.

“Yet again,” the CDC website said, “more than 2.5 million cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis were reported in the United States.”

The most common STI in the US in 2022 was chlamydia, which has remained in the top spot for years now. Nevertheless, it is the recent rise in syphilis that is concerning health officials most. (Read more from “The US Is Facing an ‘Out of Control’ STI Epidemic, Experts Warn” HERE)

Military Leaders ‘Cowering to Wokeism,’ Charges Trump-Backed Candidate

/1 Comment/in , /by

With ever-increasing reports that America’s military readiness is degrading at an alarming rate, thanks to leftist ideologues imposing wokeism, radical diversity and sensitivity training up and down the ranks, one decorated Navy veteran and congressional candidate is loudly sounding the alarm.

Jerrod Sessler, candidate for the Republican seat in central Washington’s 4th congressional district – endorsed by President Donald Trump, Gen. Michael Flynn, the House Freedom Caucus and other conservatives – spoke to WND candidly about his concerns. . .

The increasingly troubled state of America’s armed forces, Sessler said, is directly connected to “military leaders’ acceptance of woke ideology and ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’ policy.” A recent example he cited was the LGBTQ+ community promoting “sensitivity training”\ within the Air Force. And recently, WND published photographic proof of “gender neutral restrooms” in U.S. military academies. . .

“I can’t imagine the military spending time – or wasting time – on such a topic,” Sessler lamented. For him, “the military is not a place for weakness, whether it be physical or mental.” . . .

“In boot camp, more people fail mentally than physically,” he pointed out. “You have to be mentally tough to be an asset to our military.” He questioned the mental state of some service members, pointing out that “you have open mental illness [in the military] with people parading around in drag clothes.” For Sessler, “that’s absolutely unacceptable and only weakens the state of our military.” (Read more from “Military Leaders ‘Cowering to Wokeism,’ Charges Trump-Backed Candidate” HERE)

Million-Dollar Farm Hides Thousands Of Human Bodies, Authorities Say

/0 Comments/in , /by

Authorities continue to uncover chilling revelations at the property of Herb Baumeister, an Indiana businessman implicated in the deaths of at least 25 individuals during the late 1980s and early 1990s, Fox News reported Sunday.

Four decades later, the gruesome legacy of Baumeister’s crime at Fox Hollow Farm in Westfield, Indiana, still emerges as new victims are identified. The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office confirmed the identity of Jeffrey A. Jones, a man reported missing in 1993, as one of Baumeister’s victims.

This identification marks the third in the last six months, alongside Allen Livingston and Manuel Resendez, whose disappearances in the 1990s had remained unresolved until now, according to Fox News. Baumeister, who was a married father of three, secretly targeted mostly gay men and lured them to his 18-acre estate, Fox News reported. He bought the property for $1 million in May 1988, and it later revealed thousands of charred bone fragments and decomposed remains, including those his teenage son chillingly found, sparking the exposure of his double life.

Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison has reinvigorated the ongoing investigation, however he confronts significant challenges due to the condition of the remains — many burnt and crushed. Despite these hurdles, the dedicated team, including law enforcement and forensic experts, persists in the meticulous task of identifying the victims.

House Dem Wants Gov. Hochul to Pardon Trump ‘For the Good of the Country’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Democratic congressman has publicly called on Gov. Hochul to pardon former President Donald Trump after he was found guilty this week of falsifying business records — for the sake of the nation.

Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) said a Trump conviction only helps his campaign.

“Donald Trump is a serial liar, cheater, and philanderer, a six-time declarer of corporate bankruptcy, an instigator of insurrection, and a convicted felon who thrives on portraying himself as a victim. @GovKathyHochul should pardon him for the good of the country,” Phillips declared in a X post Friday.

“You think pardoning is stupid? Making him a martyr over a payment to a porn star is stupid. (Election charges are entirely different.) It’s energizing his base, generating record sums of campaign cash, and will likely result in an electoral boost,” Phillips warned.

Phillips, a three term gadfly, earned national attention this year after launching a primary challenge against President Biden for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination.

A businessman before entering government, Phillips dropped at least $5 million of his own cash on the long-shot effort, which he abandoned in March. (Read more from “House Dem Wants Gov. Hochul to Pardon Trump ‘For the Good of the Country’” HERE)

Joe Biden’s Looming Presence Over Hunter’s Trial Serves as a Warning to Their Political Enemies

/0 Comments/in , /by

The president flew into Wilmington, Del., on Sunday night, where his 54-year-old son’s felony gun trial begins Monday, and will spend the whole day there with no official duties.

Joe Biden’s looming presence in the strange small city leaves nobody in any doubt of the message he is sending to Delaware special counsel David Weiss, to the prosecutors, the judge, and the jury pool being chosen Monday. You mess with my son; you mess with me.

It’s all very subtle, in a flagrant way, much like Joe’s impromptu visit to Hallie Biden, the widow of Beau and former lover of Hunter, just nine days before his son’s trial, at which she is the star witness for the prosecution.

It was Hallie who threw Hunter’s new handgun in a trash can in October 2018 out of concern for his drug-addled mental state, creating a ticking legal time bomb that would propel him into court six years later.

It was Hallie who found drugs and drug paraphernalia in his truck. Hallie, 50, even shared his crack addiction for a time, amid multiple drug rehab efforts. (Read more from “Joe Biden’s Looming Presence Over Hunter’s Trial Serves as a Warning to Their Political Enemies” HERE)

Trump’s ‘Revenge’ Strategy That’ll Make Dems Sorry They Ever Politically Persecuted Him

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump is laying out a revenge plan to get back at the Democratic Party after they have politically punished him since his first day of office in 2016.

And he needs all of you to attend the polls in November to achieve it.

Trump said that his revenge would be “success” on November 5 and taking back the White House.

“These are bad people. These people are sick, and they do things that are so destructive… if it weren’t me, they’d be going after somebody else, and I know a lot of the competition. They wouldn’t do so well,” Trump told Fox & Friends Weekends.

He called the “rigged” trial a “sham” and a “weaponization” of justice after 12 Manhattan jurors found Trump guilty of falsifying business records during the 2016 election. (Read more from “Trump’s ‘Revenge’ Strategy That’ll Make Dems Sorry They Ever Politically Persecuted Him” HERE)

Not ‘by Accident’: Ted Cruz Blasts How Entire Trump Trial ‘Is Designed to Interfere With Election’

/0 Comments/in , /by

When the “guilty” verdict for former and potentially future President Donald Trump came down on Thursday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was among several top Republican senators who took to social media to share his true outrage over such a “miscarriage of justice.” He also previewed the special edition of his podcast, “The Verdict,” which he released later that night. A major theme throughout the episode was what a “travesty” the outcome was, and how it amounts to “a political hit job” and “the worst instance of election interference our country’s ever seen,” among other things.

The election interference looks to be all by design, and that it was that way from the start. Co-host Ben Ferguson reminded that sentencing is to take place on July 11, four day before the Republican National Convention takes place in Milwaukee. As Ferguson expressed concerns that Trump could be prevented from attending if he was imprisoned or placed under house arrest, he wondered, “how is that alone not election interference?”

While Cruz feels certain “that’s not gonna happen,” he did point out how “it is illustrative of just how ridiculous what’s transpired is.” From there, the senator continued to let us know how he really feels. “I am on one level furious. This is an outrage. It is it is a disgusting assault on democracy on the rule of law. But I’m also heartbroken. I’m heartbroken, and I believe in our justice system. Our justice system is supposed to provide equal justice under law,” he shared.

He carried that emotion over into what it means for not just Trump, but the sense of justice–or lack thereof in New York– especially considering how DA Alvin Bragg and Acting New York County Supreme Court Justice Juan Manuel Merchan’s handled the matter. Merchan’s way of handling the case was panned and decried, and he has had conflicts of interest from the start, including through his adult daughter’s politics.

An Endless Wave Of U.S.-Led Sanctions Might Be The Greatest Gift China Has Ever Received

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S.’ bid to isolate its foes on the global stage through crippling sanctions has cleared the way for a new shadowy global alliance headed by the West’s greatest adversary — China.

The U.S. and a host of Western nations have levied sanctions against Iran, North Korea, Russia and Venezuela — some of whom have suffered further penalties in recent years given their military incursions on other nations and blatant violations of international law. Despite being largely cut off from Western markets, these countries have managed to find a key trading partner in China, which hasn’t hesitated in benefiting from the unintended consequences of the U.S.-led sanctions regime, according to recent data from China’s General Administration of Customs and The Wall Street Journal.

This has created record-level multilateral trade cooperation, bolstered security and military agreements and forged a new anti-Western axis with China at the head.

“China is the strategic competitor willing and able to reshape the current global order,” Dana Stroul, a former senior U.S. defense official and fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told the WSJ.

The Biden administration and a majority of the Western bloc imposed harsh sanctions against Russia after the country invaded Ukraine in early 2022, prompting a full-scale war. The U.S. alone has imposed over 4,000 sanctions against Russian entities and individuals in a bid to “[disrupt] and [degrade] Russia’s economy and war machine,” according to the U.S. Department of Treasury.

Bar Offers Free Booze For ‘Heterosexual Awesomeness Month’

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Idaho bar has ignited a heated debate after announcing the celebration of “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” in place of LGBTQ Pride Month. Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, made the announcement on Facebook, inviting patrons to join a month-long festivity with special promotions for heterosexual individuals.

“Come join us all month to celebrate heterosexuals, for without them, none of us would be here!” the bar posted. As part of the celebration, the bar introduced themed days with various incentives. On “Hetero Male Mondays,” any heterosexual male dressed in stereotypically heterosexual attire will receive a free beer. The bar is even seeking a “professional” judge to verify the attire, offering $15 per hour plus free beer.

Wednesdays will be “Heterosexual Couple’s Night,” with couples receiving a 15% discount on their bills. Thursdays are designated “Her Hetero Happy Hour,” where straight women can enjoy happy-hour prices all day.

However, some users supported the bar’s initiative. One person commented, “Thank you for taking a stand for the rest of the community who has been too scared to do the right thing.” Another supporter added, “I love that you have the balls to do a Hetero Male Monday party.”

In response to the backlash, Old State Saloon posted a follow-up message emphasizing their inclusive policy and defending their right to celebrate heterosexuality. The bar stated, “We love our LGBTQ+ patrons! We will not be changing our mind and give into the group of those who are responding with vitriol. We love our Black patrons too. We love our White patrons. We love our patrons who work for USPS. But we aren’t doing special nights for those people. Nor are we doing special nights for LGBTQ+.”

The post continued, “We are choosing to celebrate heterosexuals. We should be able to do that without so many people being so nasty to us, lying about us, canceling us, attacking our business, and/or trying to get us to make something about themselves. If you want us to change who we are celebrating, get over it. It’s not happening. Hooray for heterosexuals!”
