Another Democrat Was Caught Lying About His Military Career

/4 Comments/in , , /by

If there’s anything to learn from the past four years under the Biden Administration, it’s that Democrats and lying are synonymous with each other.

Another Democrat governor just walked back a recent claim he made about receiving a Bronze Star for his military service in Afghanistan.

Democrat Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) admitted he made an “honest mistake” after he failed to correct two television interviewers who introduced him as a Bronze Star recipient despite never receiving the award. It wasn’t until the New York Times filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request after Moore applied to the White House fellowship in 2006, claiming he had received the Bronze Star.

“For my work, the 82nd Airborne Division have awarded me the Bronze Star Medal and the Combat Action Badge,” Moore wrote on the application. However, the governor was only recommended for the award by his deputy brigade commander while serving overseas in the Army. He claimed his commander told Moore to include the award on his application “after confirming with two other senior-level officers that they had also signed off on the commendation.”

Moore said that Michael Fenzel, a former lieutenant colonel in Afghanistan, told him that he had received the Bronze Star and filed the paperwork for its approval process. The Democrat claimed he believed he would have received the award before the White House fellowship began. (Read more from “Another Democrat Was Caught Lying About His Military Career” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , /by

American influencer Kai Carlo Cenat III is a social media sensation. He boasts over 10 million followers on Instagram, 14 million followers on TikTok, and 6 million subscribers on YouTube. Most of his fans are unsurprisingly Gen Zers. Cenat’s unique blend of style, humor, and charisma has earned him a spot among high-profile celebrities as well, including the Kardashians, Drake, Adele, Nicki Minaj, and Kevin Hart, among many, many others.

All that to say — Kai Cenat is hugely influential in a demographic Kamala Harris has been pining after.

While the Harris campaign has completely denied contacting Cenat or being interested in a collab with him, the streamer said otherwise in a viral video where he raged at the left’s attempt to exploit his influence for political leverage.

Dave Rubin plays the video of Cenat’s epic rant.

“I got the f****** Secret Service calling me five times!” he screamed, pounding his hand against the desk. (Read more from “WATCH: Mega Influencer Rages Over Being Pressured by Harris Campaign – ‘I Got the F****** Secret Service Calling Me Five Times!'” HERE)

Six U.S. Soldiers Injured in Mission to Kill 15 ISIS Fighters in Iraq

/2 Comments/in , /by

A joint U.S. military-Iraqi Security Forces raid in Iraq against ISIS resulted in six American soldiers being injured, though 15 ISIS fighters were killed.

The operation’s aim targeted ISIS leaders “to disrupt and degrade ISIS’ ability to plan, organize, and conduct attacks against” Iraqi civilians.

“U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces and Iraqi Security Forces conducted a partnered raid in Western Iraq in the early hours of Aug. 29, resulting in the death of 15 ISIS operatives,” U.S. Central Command said in a statement. “The ISIS element was armed with numerous weapons, grenades, and explosive ‘suicide’ belts. There is no indication of civilian casualties.”

None of the six American soldiers’ injuries were life-threatening.

“Iraqi Security Forces continue to further exploit the locations raided,” the statement continued. “ISIS remains a threat to the region, our allies, as well as our homeland. U.S. CENTCOM alongside our coalition and Iraqi partners, will continue to aggressively pursue these terrorists.” (Read more from “Six U.S. Soldiers Injured in Mission to Kill 15 ISIS Fighters in Iraq” HERE)

/6 Comments/in , /by

. . .The Goldman Sachs CEO will slash more than 1,300 jobs as part of the bank’s ongoing review to cull poor performers, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday

Goldman’s cuts will affect between 3% and 4% of Goldman’s 45,000-strong workforce, the Journal added, citing people familiar with the matter.

The layoffs have already started and will continue through the fall, according to the Journal, under the bank’s annual review process known as “strategic resource assessment.”

“Our annual talent reviews are normal, standard, and customary, but otherwise unremarkable,” Tony Fratto, a Goldman spokesman, told the newspaper.

He added that headcount would be higher at the end of 2024, compared to the end of last year. (Read more from “Goldman Sachs Set to Fire More Than 1,300 Employees, WSJ Reports” HERE)

Tim Walz Fabricated Key Details of Political ‘Origin Story’ That Involved Being Turned Away at George W. Bush Rally: Records

/3 Comments/in , /by

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz made up major aspects of the so-called “origin story” of his political career, in which he was ostensibly turned away from a 2004 re-election campaign rally for President George W. Bush and promptly vowed to run for public office.

Walz, then a high school geography teacher, has alleged that he and two of his students were held up by security and “denied entry” to the event because one of the youths had a sticker on his wallet supporting Bush’s opponent, then-Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.).

However, the Washington Examiner reported Friday, citing sources and high school records, that neither of the teens were Walz’s students and were not refused a spot at the Bush rally because of the Kerry sticker.

Walz also was not a disinterested observer of the 2004 race, having picketed Bush as a “Veteran for Kerry” days before the campaign event in Mankato.

“It’s clear he was politically involved before that moment,” Chris Faulkner, a former Bush campaign aide who worked the rally in question, told the Examiner. “He was protesting in front of the ticket distribution center. It’s all bulls–t.” (Read more from “Tim Walz Fabricated Key Details of Political ‘Origin Story’ That Involved Being Turned Away at George W. Bush Rally: Records” HERE)

The Entire Manufactured Controversy Over Trump’s Arlington Cemetery Visit

/2 Comments/in , /by

Taxpayer-subsidized National Public Radio shouldn’t be a starting place for aggressively biased coverage against either Democrats or Republicans. But you can ask Clarence Thomas how the machine works.

On Aug. 27, NPR veterans affairs reporter Quil Lawrence lit into former President Donald Trump for bringing cameras to a section of Arlington National Cemetery with some families of soldiers killed during President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The entire manufactured controversy is perverse. It’s obvious NPR is exploiting the cemetery for a political goal, and it then spread to the rest of the national media. Trump is showing support for grieving Gold Star families, while Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris would not appear. They were MIA. But Trump was singled out as the one with grotesque political optics, not the no-shows whose negligence cost American lives.

They weren’t seriously considering the Biden-Harris disaster on “All Things Considered.” They could call it “All Democrats Defended.” Conservatives quickly found snapshots from private photographers of Biden in the same sacred section of the Arlington cemetery. That thing cannot be “considered.”

In a different segment of this evening newscast, Lawrence and NPR Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman reviewed the third anniversary of the Abbey Gate bombing, which led to the death of 13 American service personnel. The segment was headlined: “The chaotic U.S. exit from Afghanistan in 2021 had stems from four administrations.” NPR felt compelled to spread the blame around on everyone.

About That List of ‘Republicans’ Endorsing Kamala Harris

/3 Comments/in , /by

Legacy media outlets have trumpeted the news that “more than 200″ people who used to work for former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, and former Republican presidential nominees John McCain and Mitt Romney, have endorsed Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris in an open letter. . .

Left-leaning media may claim this list represents a tidal wave of Republicans defecting to Harris, but this letter is far less impressive than meets the eye. As it turns out, many of the signatories were interns or apolitical staff, and many of them went on to work for then-President Barack Obama and current President Joe Biden. . .

The list features eight interns: Chad Adler, a finance intern for Romney 2012; Katie Daryl, a communications department intern for McCain’s Senate office; Anne Dixon, a political intern for the 2008 McCain presidential campaign; Daniel Edwards, an intern in McCain’s Senate office; Danny Mazza, another McCain Senate office intern; Brooks Nelson, an intern from Bush’s USA Freedom Corps; Meghan K. Reilly, a McCain Senate office intern, and Anne Wisniewski, a political intern for McCain’s 2008 campaign.

The offices of Romney and George W. Bush did not respond to The Daily Signal’s questions about whether the letter artificially inflated the number of former staff to give a false impression. . .

Many of the former Bush 41, Bush 43, McCain, and Romney staffers who signed the letter held apolitical positions that do not necessarily reflect alignment with the Republicans for whom they worked. Many of them stayed on under Democrats because their jobs did not involve partisan affiliation.

Letter-signer Daniel Connor held the apolitical position of pilot for presidential helicopter Marine One under George W. Bush. He remained in the role into the Barack Obama administration. (Read more from “About That List of ‘Republicans’ Endorsing Kamala Harris” HERE)

Wealthy Donors Quietly Tell Harris to Throw Capital Gains Tax Policy Overboard

/3 Comments/in , /by

Wealthy donors to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign are quietly pushing her to drop a proposed policy on taxing unrealized capital gains, according to the New York Times.

Harris adopted a proposal by President Joe Biden to put a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains for individuals worth $100 million or more. Wealthy Harris donors are allegedly incredulous and have been pushing her to drop the policy ahead of the 2024 election amid concerns about the economic and political viability of the plan, according to The New York Times.

“There’s optimism that this can’t possibly be real,” Aaron Levie, chief executive of cloud-storage company Box, told the NYT. “Most people are waiting to hear from the Harris campaign. Is this a real proposal that is actually being pushed for — or was this something that was inherited from Biden?”

Harris campaign spokesman Charles Kretchmer Lutvak told the NYT that the policy was to get billionaires to pay a “fair share” in taxes. Harris also voiced her support for Biden’s other tax hike proposals for the 2025 budget that cost a total of approximately $5 trillion, according to the Cato Institute.

Levine has donated $30,000 to the campaign and plans to donate more, but said that his Silicon Valley colleagues see the capital gains proposal as “punitive,” according to the NYT. Some donors have privately said that Harris’ policy positions in general are more flexible than Biden’s, sustaining hopes that Harris may back off the proposal.

Trump Reveals He is Voting No on Florida’s Abortion Amendment

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump revealed that he would be voting no on a proposed abortion amendment in Florida.

When asked by a reporter if he was voting “yes or no” on Amendment 4, Trump explained that while he believes Florida’s six-week abortion ban needs “more time than six weeks,” he will be voting no on Florida’s abortion Amendment, noting that the Democrats were “radical” in their views on abortion.

Under Florida’s Amendment 4, the right to abortion throughout a pregnancy would be enshrined into the state’s constitution.

“I think six weeks, you need more time than six weeks,” Trump said. “I’ve disagreed with that right from the early primaries when I heard about it, I disagreed with it. At the same time, the Democrats are radical because the nine months is just a ridiculous situation, where you can do an abortion in the ninth month.”

“Some of the states like Minnesota and other states have it where you can actually execute the baby after birth, and all of that stuff is unacceptable,” Trump added. “So, I’ll be voting no for that reason.” (Read more from “Trump Reveals He is Voting No on Florida’s Abortion Amendment” HERE)

Court Says ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Can Be Censored by School

/3 Comments/in , /by

A federal court ruling has allowed a school to censor “Let’s Go Brandon,” preventing students from wearing the popular social media meme on shirts.

But a constitutional expert warns that it’s a “dangerous precedent” that will move the nation established on the basis of free speech the wrong direction.

Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, has testified before Congress on constitutional issues, and even represented members in court. . .

“Maloney rejects the free speech claim and rules that school officials can punish a student for wearing a ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ T-shirt. I believe that he is wrong and that the case sets a dangerous precedent,” Turley wrote.

The slogan is “a familiar political battle cry not just against Biden but also against the bias of the media. It derives from an Oct. 2021 interview with race-car driver Brandon Brown after he won his first NASCAR Xfinity Series race. During the interview, NBC reporter Kelli Stavast’s questions were drowned out by loud-and-clear chants of ‘F*** Joe Biden.’ Stavast quickly and inexplicably declared, ‘You can hear the chants from the crowd, ‘Let’s go, Brandon!'” (Read more from “Court Says ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Can Be Censored by School” HERE)
