Scott Jennings Delivers Sharp Retort When Asked About FBI Investigating Dems Who Told Military To Ignore Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican strategist Scott Jennings shut down a CNN anchor’s line of questioning in a discussion over whether the FBI should investigate the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military to disregard President Donald Trump’s authority.

The Pentagon opened an inquiry into Democratic Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly on Monday after he joined five other lawmakers in a video telling U.S. troops they could refuse “illegal” orders from Trump. During a panel discussion on “The Arena,” Jennings said the real issue isn’t the inquiry — it’s that sitting members of Congress pushed a narrative suggesting the commander-in-chief was prepared to issue illegal orders.

“Democrats who are in power and there are Republicans who are making political videos, right? Are they going to use the FBI to investigate them too, right?” host Kasie Hunt asked Jennings.

“Plenty of Republicans are outraged about this. This video was clearly designed to try to create a narrative among the American people that the president had been or was about to give illegal orders. And it appears to me that it all has to do with what he’s doing with Venezuela,” Jennings said. “That seems to be what they’re mad about, although they did ask Elissa Slotkin on TV, and she cited a Hollywood movie to rationalize or justify what she had done. I don’t know what the truth is about these interviews, and I don’t know if they’ll ever be compelled to do it or not.”

Jennings said Republicans are furious that Democrats produced a video suggesting the commander-in-chief was prepared to issue illegal military orders. (Read more from “Scott Jennings Delivers Sharp Retort When Asked About FBI Investigating Dems Who Told Military To Ignore Trump” HERE)

The FBI Still Hasn’t Released Critical Details on Trump Shooter Thomas Crooks

/0 Comments/in , /by

Would-be assassin Thomas Crooks “extensively” searched the name and address of Rep. James Comer, King Charles and former FBI Director Christopher Wray before the 20-year-old shot Donald Trump at a Butler, Pa., rally in July 2024.

According to Comer, the Capitol Police contacted him three days after the attempted assassination and told him his name and other personal details had appeared in multiple internet searches conducted by Crooks.

Britain’s monarch and Wray also appeared multiple times in Crooks’ search history, says Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee.

He says the Capitol Police were alerted to the Comer connection by the FBI, which found the name of the Republican Kentucky congressman on Crooks’ devices after Crooks was shot dead by a Secret Service sniper. “I asked if any other members of Congress were on his search engine, and they said no,” Comer says.

“They said he had ‘extensively’ searched King Charles, Christopher Wray and me.”

But Comer never again heard from the Capitol Police — or the FBI.

“It’s kind of crazy they called and told me that, then never followed up,” says Comer. (Read more from “The FBI Still Hasn’t Released Critical Details on Trump Shooter Thomas Crooks” HERE)

Poll: Half Say They Want to Avoid Discussing Politics at Thanksgiving

/0 Comments/in , /by

Half of Americans say they want to avoid discussing politics at Thanksgiving, an Emerson College survey revealed.

The survey asked respondents, “If you are visiting with family or friends this Thanksgiving, are you looking forward to discussing politics, or are you hoping to avoid discussing politics?”

Just over half, 50.7 percent, said they are hoping to avoid discussing politics this Thanksgiving with friends or family. However, one-third said they are looking forward to discussing politics, followed by 16.3 percent who simply said they are not spending Thanksgiving with friends or family anyway.

The survey also asked, “When it comes to Thanksgiving, are you happy eating turkey as the main course, or would you rather eat something else?” Three-quarters said they are “happy eating turkey as main course,” while about one-quarter said they would prefer something else. . .

It coincides with the results of a recent YouGov survey, which found that 31 percent of Americans believe it is “very or somewhat likely they’ll discuss politics” at Thanksgiving. This includes 31 percent of Republicans, 26 percent of independents, and 37 percent of Democrats. However, like the Emerson poll, this one found that half say it is not very likely or not at all likely that they will discuss politics during the holiday.

Transgender Cult Leader Goes On Anti-Trump Tirade In Courtroom

/26 Comments/in , , /by

The transgender “Zizians” cult leader refused to answer basic questions and ranted about President Donald Trump during his Monday arraignment on a gun charge, The Baltimore Banner reported.

Jack “Ziz” LaSota, whose February arrest in Maryland concluded a nationwide manhunt, said Trump wants “genocide” against transgender people when a judge asked if he understood his charges, according to the outlet. The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged LaSota with possessing firearms and ammunition as a fugitive from justice after police found him and two others allegedly hiding in a box truck with loads of weapons. This was one of several strange crimes linked to the so-called Zizians.

“Your government is currently going around scooping up brown people and disappearing them,” the 33-year-old reportedly said while shackled by the ankles. “I’m transgender, and the intentions of this regime towards transgender people are very clear: genocide.”

LaSota declared that the judge was part of “an organized crime ring” run by the “states united in slavery,” according to The Baltimore Banner. When asked to state his name, he reportedly replied, “Justice,” and for his age, “Timeless.”

“I have been born many times,” LaSota reportedly said when the court asked for his birth year. (Read more from “Transgender Cult Leader Goes On Anti-Trump Tirade In Courtroom” HERE)

Docs: Jack Smith Ignored Constitutional Standards To Target GOP Senators In Arctic Frost Probe

/1 Comment/in , /by

Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team effectively ignored existing constitutional standards to target more than half a dozen GOP senators as part of their Arctic Frost lawfare against Donald Trump, new records show.

Released on Tuesday by Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, the new documents disclose communications between Smith’s team and Biden Justice Department (DOJ) officials about their plans to file subpoenas against more than eight GOP senators. As The Federalist previously reported, the subpoenas sought to acquire these senators’ cell phone “tolling data” from Jan. 4-7, 2021, as part of the investigation (Arctic Frost) that ultimately became Smith’s elector lawfare against Trump.

The unearthed records show May 2023 communications from Smith’s team about getting approval from the DOJ’s Public Integrity Section (PIN) to issue the subpoenas. As described by the agency, PIN “oversees the investigation and prosecution of all federal crimes affecting government integrity, including bribery of public officials, election crimes, and other related offenses.”

On May 17, 2023, the Special Counsel’s Office’s Molly Gaston emailed PIN Principal Deputy Chief John Keller about Smith and Co.’s plans to issue what she described as “narrowly-tailored subpoenas” to obtain the tolling data from the mentioned Republican senators and Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Penn.

In seeking PIN’s consultation on the matter, Gaston claimed the special counsel’s bid to obtain the phone data was based on their alleged findings indicating that Trump and Rudy Giuliani “reached out to these Members to ask or pressure them to delay the certification of the electoral college vote — including, in some cases, on the night of January 6, in the hour before Congress resumed the Joint Session after the attack on the Capitol.” (Read more from “Docs: Jack Smith Ignored Constitutional Standards To Target GOP Senators In Arctic Frost Probe” HERE)

President Trump Just Made a Bombshell Announcement About Biden’s ‘Invalid’ Pardons

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump dropped an explosive bombshell on Tuesday, revealing that former President Joe Biden may not have actually pardoned two turkeys on his last Thanksgiving in office.

While addressing reporters at the White House, President Trump announced his turkey pardons for this year. Then, he dropped the surprise announcement.

“Before going any further, I want to make an important announcement because you remember last year, after a thorough and very rigorous investigation by Pam Bondi and all of the people at Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA, the White House Counsel’s Office, and the Department of Everything…Into a terrible situation caused by a man named Sleepy Joe Biden.”

The president continued, explaining that Biden “used an autopen last year for the turkey’s pardon” and that he has “the official duty to determine, and I have determined that last year’s turkey pardons are totally invalid, as are the pardons of about every other person that was pardoned.”

Trump did acknowledge that Biden’s son, Hunter, was rightly pardoned by the former president, but that “the rest of them are all invalid” and that the turkeys’ pardons were “hereby null and void.”

World’s Strongest Woman Winner Stripped of Title After Organizers Discovered She Was Born a Man

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The controversial winner of the World’s Strongest Woman competition was stripped of her title Tuesday after organizers claimed the hulking American never told them she was born a man.

Jammie Booker was disqualified just days after she destroyed the competition at the Official Strongman Games World Championship in Arlington, Texas, over the weekend.

Organizers said Booker, from Philadelphia, violated the contest’s rules, which clearly stipulate that athletes must compete in the category that aligns with their biological sex at birth.

“It appears that an athlete who is biologically male and who now identifies as female competed in the Women’s Open category,” organizers said in a social media statement announcing the decision.

“Official Strongman officials were unaware of this fact ahead of the competition and we have been urgently investigating since being informed.” (Read more from “World’s Strongest Woman Winner Stripped of Title After Organizers Discovered She Was Born a Man” HERE)

GOP Sen. Jim Justice Agrees to Pay More Than $5.1M in Back Taxes to Settle DOJ, IRS Claim

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV), whose pet English bulldog Babydog has been a DC darling since he took office in January, has agreed to pay more than $5 million to settle a tax debt dating to 2009.

The Justice Department filed a complaint in Beckley, WV, federal court Monday claiming that Justice and his wife Cathy owed $5,164,739.75 in “federal income taxes, penalties, and interest” as of Aug. 4.

The complaint claimed that the Justices had “have neglected or refused to make full payment,” despite being given notice by the Treasury Department.

Later Monday, the DOJ and the Justices filed a joint motion agreeing to pay the outstanding amount.

Justice, who served as West Virginia governor from 2017 until his election to the Senate last year, inherited a coal mining and agriculture business from his father and at one point was a billionaire.

Ukraine Agrees to US-Backed Peace Deal to End Russia War, US Official Says

/12 Comments/in , /by

Ukraine has agreed to a peace deal that would see an end to the war with Russia, a U.S. official told Fox News.

Some minor details of the agreement are still to be sorted out, the official said.

Lt. Col. Jeff Tolbert, a spokesman for U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, had told Fox News that Driscoll and his team met with Russian officials in Abu Dhabi on Monday and Tuesday to discuss the framework for a Ukraine peace deal.

“The talks are going well and we remain optimistic. Secretary Driscoll is closely synchronized with the White House and the U.S. interagency as these talks progress,” said Tolbert.

A U.S. official told Fox News that the Ukrainian delegation was also in Abu Dhabi and was in contact with Driscoll and his team.

The diplomatic flurry over the weekend followed the leak of the 28-point peace plan to Axios, which many European leaders and U.S. lawmakers viewed as largely favorable to Russia. (Read more from “Ukraine Agrees to US-Backed Peace Deal to End Russia War, US Official Says” HERE)

Chances Are, Your Next Rabbi Is Probably Gay, Study Shows

/0 Comments/in , /by

Over half of non-Ultra-Orthodox rabbinical students in the U.S. identify as LGBTQ+, according to a new study.

Approximately 51% of current non-Haredi rabbinical students projected to be ordained after 2025 claim they are LGBTQ+, the study conducted by Atra: Center for Rabbinic Innovation found. This is a sharp incline from the 7% of ordained non-Haredi rabbis who identified as such before 2004. The study claims to provide a clear portrait of the contemporary non-Haredi, or non–Ultra-Orthodox, rabbinic pipeline in the U.S.

“The student figure may be an overestimate since weighing cannot fully correct for discrepancies without a variable directly measuring LGBTQ+ identity. However, even if it is somewhat overstated, the consistent year-over-year increase in LGBTQ+ representation is almost certainly real,” the Atra wrote, noting Gallup poll data finding an increase in the general U.S. adult population.

Atra said that its study revealed “a delicate and urgent truth: the calling to be a rabbi remains strong, but the pathway to enter and sustain this work has become increasingly fragile.”

Hannah Karpel-Pomerantz met her wife at rabbinical school and grew close due to a shared interest in Jewish texts and rituals, The Times of Israel reported. She said Hebrew Union College shared their “love story” all over their website.

“HUC wanted to feature me and my wife as a love story — as something that makes the school look good,” she recalled. “It signals that American progressive Jewish life has evolved to the point where LGBTQ inclusion is a no-brainer.” (Read more from “Chances Are, Your Next Rabbi Is Probably Gay, Study Shows” HERE)
