White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Violated Hatch Act: Watchdog

/0 Comments/in , /by

A government watchdog has concluded that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre violated the Hatch Act – a federal law that restricts federal employees from certain political activities that may influence elections – in the run-up to the 2022 midterm elections.

The Office of Special Counsel made the determination this month that Jean-Pierre’s repeated use of the words “mega MAGA Republicans” when referring to Republican candidates violated the Hatch Act, according to an NBC News report on Monday.

“Because Ms. Jean‐Pierre made the statements while acting in her official capacity, she violated the Hatch Act prohibition against using her official authority or influence for the purpose of interfering with or affecting the result of an election,” Ana Galindo‐Marrone, the chief of OSC’s Hatch Act Unit, wrote in a letter dated June 7, according to the news outlet.

The group added that Jean-Pierre’s remarks were “an inappropriate attempt to influence the vote.”

Despite the violation, the agency wrote that it has “decided to close this matter without further action,” noting that White House lawyers “did not at the time believe that Ms. Jean‐Pierre’s remarks were prohibited.” (Read more from “White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Violated Hatch Act: Watchdog” HERE)

Tulsi Gabbard: Trump Indictment May Be ‘Final Nail’ in U.S. Democracy’s ‘Coffin’ (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard slammed the recent indictment of former President Donald Trump, claiming the move is “not something that should happen” in the U.S., while warning it may be the “final nail in the coffin of our democracy.”

Speaking this weekend at the 14th annual Western Conservative Summit in Denver, Colorado — one of the largest annual gatherings of conservatives outside Washington, DC — former congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard began by noting her love for the United States, her military service, and her later role in congress.

“I love our country, and I’ve proudly sworn in oath twice: first, as a soldier enlisting because of the terrorist attacks on 911, and again, as a member of Congress where I served for eight years, that oath swearing to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” she said.

Gabbard, who formally announced her departure from the Democrat Party in October, then warned of current threats to freedom and the Constitution, which are “not coming from some far-off land or some foreign country.”

“Those threats are coming from within,” she declared. “And they’re coming, unfortunately, from people who do not share our love for this country, who don’t share our appreciation for God-given rights and freedoms that are enshrined in the Constitution.” (Read more from “Tulsi Gabbard: Trump Indictment May Be ‘Final Nail’ in U.S. Democracy’s ‘Coffin’ (VIDEO)” HERE)

U.S. Navy Drag Queen ‘Digital Ambassador’ Accused of Violating Military Code, Legal Group Demands Authorities Investigate Sailor

/0 Comments/in , /by

A drag queen purportedly hired as a “digital ambassador” for the U.S. Navy to increase recruitment numbers was accused on Monday of violating several military rules, including promoting partisan politics and expressing open contempt for his command.

America First Legal sent a letter to top Navy officials demanding they launch an investigation into Yeoman Second Class Joshua Kelley, who also dresses as a drag queen named “Harpy Daniels.”

Attorney Jacob Meckler for the legal group argues Kelley, who joined the Navy in 2016, allegedly violated critical requirements on several occasions that contravene the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which makes clear anyone transgressing the federal law should be court-martialed.

“[H]e has repeatedly engaged in partisan activity, behaved in ways that discredit the military, publicly criticized his command, and misused his uniform for personal gain,” Meckler wrote in the letter. “Based on the Department’s past actions with respect to politically or culturally conservative service members, an investigation is appropriate here.”

According to the legal group, Kelley has tweeted several times about his support for Democrats, graphic photos, and descriptions of sexual acts. Many of Kelley’s Instagram and Twitter posts also appeared to include images or videos of the sailor in uniform, with others depicting him in drag.

Posted to TikTok on Monday by transgender model Rose Montoya, the now-viral video featured the activist and several other transgender activists showing off their pride by shimmying in front of the camera with their naked chests. Montoya, a male model living as a woman, notably covered the nipples of his fake breasts while the other two, women living as men, proudly revealed their scars from breast reduction surgery.

“Are we topless at the White House?” Montoya could be heard saying as the camera revealed the half-naked activists dancing in front of the White House.

Transgender Nashville Shooter Autopsy Obtained

/0 Comments/in , /by

Townhall has exclusively obtained trans-identified mass shooter Audrey “Aiden” Elizabeth Hale’s autopsy report months after the murderer massacred six victims, including three children, at a private Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee.

Though the cause of death was apparent, a hail of gunshots from a pair of heroic Nashville police officers who didn’t hesitate to neutralize Hale, the public has been left wondering what drugs were in the mass shooter’s system, if any, at the time of the Covenant School rampage. Included in the 11-page document from the Davidson County Medical Examiner’s office, a toxicology report found that the blood-, urine- and vitreous-humor analysis performed on Hale did not detect abuse of substances or alcohol.

Other sections document Hale’s gunshot wounds in graphic detail, a sketch of a woman’s body showing where Hale sustained injuries during the police shootout, and the case’s summary, which notes that Hale was “a transgender person” “assigned female at birth.” An external examination describes Hale’s clothing worn at the time of death, as security cameras at the school captured.

Notably, along with a black tactical-style vest, Hale was wearing a white T-shirt with words, drawings, and numbers handwritten on it; a pink-tan bra, also covered with a drawing and handwritten words; a black tee with “a firing range logo” printed on the left-front side; a utility belt with holsters attached; orange earplugs; a red baseball cap, worn backwards; black-and-blue partial gloves; and camouflage pants. She was carrying a pocket knife with “Aiden,” her transgender name, monogrammed on it. Multiple ammunition magazines—some labeled with stickers and drawings—were recovered from the trans militant’s clothes. (Read more from “Transgender Nashville Shooter Autopsy Obtained” HERE)

GOP 2024 Candidates Cautious About Committing U.S. Troops to Taiwan

/1 Comment/in , /by

Republican presidential candidates are wary of committing to sending U.S. forces to Taiwan in the wake of a Chinese attack, telling the Daily Caller that they would not go as far as President Joe Biden’s promise to defend the island nation.

Biden has repeatedly said the U.S. would intervene militarily if China moved against Taiwan, which the Chinese communist government considers a rebel province. The White House has stressed that Biden’s remarks do not represent a departure from America’s longstanding policy of “strategic ambiguity” toward Taiwan and that the U.S. still adheres to the “One China Policy.”

In conversations with the Daily Caller, the campaigns of most Republican presidential candidates did not voice support for sending U.S. troops. Former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declined to provide comment. Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott emphasized deterrence. Four GOP hopefuls — Vivek Ramaswamy, Larry Elder, Mike Pence and Asa Hutchinson — said directly that they would be open to potentially sending the U.S. military to defend Taiwan.

Ramaswamy has said he would “intervene militarily so long as the U.S. is still dependent on Taiwan for semiconductors,” but “has not said whether that will be boots on the ground or what that would look like,” Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for Ramaswamy, told the Caller. The conservative entrepreneur has also previously floated the idea of providing Taiwanese civilians with AR-15 rifles and firearms training.

Elder told the Caller that he “would not tie our hands by making a commitment now for a hypothetical situation in the future, but all options would be on the table.” (Read more from “GOP 2024 Candidates Cautious About Committing U.S. Troops to Taiwan” HERE)

The FBI Bank Scandal Just Expanded

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Bank of America may not be the only financial institution that voluntarily turned over mass amounts of customer data and transaction history to the FBI on and around January 6, 2021.

According to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust Chairman Thomas Massie, a slew of other banks may have also turned over private customer information requested by the FBI without a warrant. Those banks include Citigroup, PNC Financial Services, JPMorgan Chase & Company, Truist, Wells Fargo and U.S. Bankcorp.

“The Committee on the Judiciary and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government are conducting oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and its receipt of information about American citizens from private entities. An FBI whistleblower has disclosed that following the events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, Bank of America (BoA) provided the FBI—voluntarily and without any legal process—with a list of individuals who had made transactions in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area with a BoA credit or debit card between January 5 and January 7, 2021,” Jordan and Massie wrote in a series of letters to executives at each bank.

Biden Claims the LGBTQ Community Is the ‘Bravest, Inspiring’ People He Has Ever Known

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden hosted the largest Pride event in White House history, claiming the LGBTQ community has the most “bravest and inspiring” people he has ever known— not police officers or military members who put their lives on the line every day to fight for the country.

On Saturday, Biden and First Lady Jill Biden kicked off June’s month-long Pride “celebration” on the White House lawn, decorated in a rainbow theme with the “Progress Pride flag” waving in the sky. . .

“When families across the country face excruciating decisions to relocate to a different state to protect their child from dangerous ant-LGTBQ laws, we have to act,” Biden said. “We need to push back against the hundreds of callous and cynical bills introduced in states targeting transgender children, terrifying families, and criminalizing doctors and nurses.”

Jill Biden also took the stage, arguing that gay people, transgender people, binary, non-binary, and genderqueer people symbolize an “example” for the U.S. and the world.

“Outside the gates of this house are those who want to drag our country backward and so many battles yet to be braved,” she said. “But today, we’re not here to be strong. We’re not here to be courageous. Even though for so many of you, just coming to this event is an act of bravery.” (Read more from “Biden Claims the LGBTQ Community Is the ‘Bravest, Inspiring’ People He Has Ever Known” HERE)

Report: Joe Biden Referred to as ‘Big Guy’ in Dealings With Ukraine, FBI Record Reveals

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden was referred to as the “big guy” by the Ukrainian oligarch who owned the Hunter Biden-employing energy giant Burisma, sources say an FBI record reveals.

Mykola Zlochevsky, the Ukrainian owner of Burisma, was the “foreign national” involved in the alleged “criminal bribery scheme” detailed in an FBI confidential human source form, and Zlochevsky referred to Joe Biden as the “big guy” during a conversation a number of years before the June 2020 date of the bureau form, according to sources familiar with the FBI record who described its contents to the Washington Examiner.

The sources told the Washington Examiner that the Ukrainian oligarch discussed an alleged bribe of $5 million to Joe Biden and of $5 million to Hunter Biden, according to the paid FBI informant who said he heard this from Zlochevsky. The sources said Zlochevsky said he believed it would be difficult to unravel the alleged bribery scheme for at least 10 years because of the number of bank accounts involved.

Zlochevsky’s alleged reference to Joe Biden as the “big guy” appears independent of the apparent reference to the now-president as the “big guy” by a Hunter Biden business associate during negotiations with Chinese intelligence-linked businessmen. The China-related reference occurred in a May 2017 email not made public until October 2020.

The existence of the Ukraine-related FD-1023 appears to have been revealed to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) by whistleblowers in 2022, and Grassley told the Justice Department and FBI back in October to hand over “all records,” including “FD-1023” documents that “reference Mykola Zlochevsky, Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Joe Biden.” (Read more from “Report: Joe Biden Referred to as ‘Big Guy’ in Dealings With Ukraine, FBI Record Reveals” HERE)

Unabomber’s Death a Suicide, Sources Say

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ted Kaczynski, the man more commonly known as the “Unabomber,” died Saturday by suicide, sources say.

Four sources familiar with the matter revealed to the Associated Press 81-year-old Kaczynski, who was suffering from late-stage cancer, died by his own hand in his North Carolina federal prison cell just after midnight Saturday. Though emergency personnel successfully revived the notorious criminal after performing CPR, Kaczynski died after being transported to a local hospital, the sources — who were not authorized to speak publicly about Kaczynski’s death — told the AP.

Kazynski, a self-proclaimed environmentalist, had been serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole since his arrest and conviction in 1996. Between 1978 and 1995, Kaczynski mailed or hand delivered a series of bombs which ultimately killed three Americans and injured nearly two dozen more. His campaign of terror earned him the moniker, “The Unabomber,” as authorities worked for nearly two decades to bring him to justice. (Read more from “Unabomber’s Death a Suicide, Sources Say” HERE)
