Kyiv Seeks US Technical Support at ‘Maximum Proximity to the Battlefield’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Over the past 14 months, Western countries have pledged to provide Ukraine with more than $65 billion worth of direct military aid, most of it coming from the United States. Now, with a major Ukrainian counteroffensive looming, prominent officials in Kyiv have begun to call for those Western countries to assume a more forward role in the maintenance of that new arsenal, including the provision of technical personnel on the ground closer to the war zone.

“I am sure that our partners could hire such specialists, and we would do everything in our capacity to organize for them to come to Ukraine,” Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said in response to a question from Newsweek at a briefing held on April 10 at the Ukraine Media Center in Odesa. “We have been suggesting for quite a long time that our partners assist in providing maintenance at the maximum proximity to the battlefield.”

“It is very complicated to send a tank all the way to Europe for repairs,” Reznikov explained. “If we could have specialists with access to the necessary documents come here, it would really help.”

Currently, all of the Western technicians known to be assisting Ukraine with the maintenance of imported weapons systems are located outside the country’s borders. Although thousands of ex-active duty military personnel have voluntarily taken up arms on Kyiv’s behalf, maintenance specialists, even experienced ones, require access to classified technical manuals in order to perform their duties at the requisite standard.

NBC Duped by Adult Border Crosser Who Posed as Migrant Child to Get Into U.S.

/0 Comments/in , /by

NBC News was forced to retract a published article in which the network interviewed a recently arrived border crosser claiming to be 16 years old and working in a Kansas slaughterhouse. Days later, the migrant admitted he posed as a child to get into the United States at the southern border.

On April 12, NBC News published the initial article in which a recently arrived male border crosser said he was 16 years old, enrolled in high school, and illegally worked at the Packers Sanitation Services, Inc., a meatpacking plant in Dodge City, Kansas.

According to the initial story, the border crosser was seemingly released to a sponsor in Kansas after arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border as an Unaccompanied Alien Child (UAC).

The federal government’s UAC program allows young migrants to get released into the U.S. interior. The majority end up living with sponsors who are not their relatives.

This week, NBC News retracted the initial story after it was revealed that the border crosser claiming to be 16 years old is actually a 21-year-old who merely posed as a UAC at the southern border to get released into the U.S. interior.

Audrey Hale Manifesto a ‘Blueprint on Total Destruction’ Say Pols, Who Claim FBI Is Stalling Its Release

/0 Comments/in , /by

Nashville shooter Audrey Hale’s manifesto is a “blueprint on total destruction” which the FBI are stalling releasing, according to local politicians, who describe its contents as “astronomically dangerous”.

Almost a month after Audrey Hale, who identified as transgender, killed six at the city’s Covenant elementary school before being shot by police authorities have yet to release a motive or any of the writings seized from her home, despite growing pressure.

Rep. Tim Burchett, (R-Tenn.) told The Post he knew the FBI was behind the delay, saying the news was “disappointing” and calling for documents to be released to grieving loved ones as well as members of Congress.

The manifesto “could maybe tell us a little bit about what’s going on inside of her head,” he added. “I think that would answer a lot of questions.”

Twenty journals, five laptops, a suicide note and various other notes written by Hale were seized from the house she shared with her parents as well as two memoirs, five Covenant School yearbooks and seven cellphones, according to a search warrant.

HOUSE INVESTIGATION: New Evidence Emerges That Biden Family Profited From Human Trafficking

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Washington Times. Two Republican lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee say the Biden family profited from a human trafficking scheme that included a prostitution ring in the U.S. and countries such as Russia and Ukraine.

Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Nancy Mace of South Carolina said they have viewed bank documents at the Treasury Department that contain “jaw-dropping” evidence about an extensive web of Biden family foreign business deals, some of which showed evidence of human trafficking and prostitution rings.

The two lawmakers sit on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, which is investigating the Biden family’s foreign business deals to determine if President Biden participated or had knowledge of them. The Republican-led panel is combing through Treasury Department Suspicious Activity Reports or SARs that have been generated by banks for transactions made by Biden family members and their business associates.

Ms. Greene, in a video posted to her Twitter account, said the House Oversight Committee had just finished reviewing over 2,000 pages of financial records related to the business dealings of the Biden family.

“I just saw evidence of human trafficking,” Ms. Greene said. “This involved prostitutes, not only from here in the United States but foreign countries like Russia and Ukraine.” (Read more from “HOUSE INVESTIGATION: New Evidence Emerges That Biden Family Profited From Human Trafficking” HERE)

Rep. Taylor Greene Accuses Biden and Family of ‘Human Trafficking’

By Al Mayadeen English. In a controversial statement on Twitter, US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed that President Joe Biden and some members of his family are responsible for running a human trafficking ring connected to Russia and Ukraine.

“The Biden crime family participated in human trafficking by soliciting prostitutes from the United States and abroad in countries like Russia and Ukraine. There is an entire crime enterprise wrapped around Joe Biden and his family. The House Oversight Committee has a much bigger investigation to do than ever thought possible,” she posted in a video on Twitter.

She continued to claim that funding the ring went through foreign nations, including China and Ukraine. . .

“This is an investigation that needs to be revealed to the American people,” Greene said. “This is going to extend into developing a web of corruption, a web of fake companies, that’s going to reveal money that came in from many foreign countries and went directly into the personal bank accounts of the Biden family.” (Read more from “Rep. Taylor Greene Accuses Biden and Family of ‘Human Trafficking’” HERE)

Pentagon Documents Leak Case: Jack Teixeira’s Detention Hearing Delayed

/0 Comments/in , /by

A judge has postponed the detention hearing for Jack Teixeira, who is accused of leaking hundreds of classified documents related to military intelligence from the Pentagon, while he awaits trial.

The defense and prosecution both agreed to cancel Wednesday’s detention hearing, delaying it for roughly two weeks. Magistrate Judge David Hennessy agreed to the request.

Teixeira, a 21-year-old Air National Guardsman, allegedly first leaked text related to classified documents to an invite-only chat group on Discord in December 2022, and about a month later, he began taking photos of the documents instead.

Teixeira was charged under the Espionage Act on Friday for the unauthorized retention and transmission of national defense information, as well as the unauthorized removal of classified information and defense materials.

The accused leaker worked as a cyber transport systems journeyman who ensured the Air Force’s “vast, global communications network” was operating correctly. He is an airman 1st class, which is the third enlisted rank an airman will make, and he had one achievement medal during his time in the service. He held a top-secret security clearance, granted to him in 2021. (Read more from “Pentagon Documents Leak Case: Jack Teixeira’s Detention Hearing Delayed” HERE)

Biden Invites ‘Tennessee Three’ to White House — But Won’t Invite Families of Covenant School Massacre Victims

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden has invited the so-called Tennessee Three to the White House, but he is not inviting the families of the victims of the Covenant School massacre.

At the White House press briefing on Wednesday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced that Biden has invited Tennessee Democratic state Reps. Justin Jones, Justin Pearson, and Gloria Johnson to the White House. They will visit next Monday. . .

When it was his turn to ask a question, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy wanted to know: What about the families of the victims of the massacre? . . .

Jean-Pierre, however, could not provide an answer. Instead, she vaguely explained how Biden is “focused on getting things done” and plans to use his “bully pulpit” to continue pushing his agenda, which includes banning so-called assault weapons. Hosting the lawmakers at the White House, Jean-Pierre said, is about fostering a conversation to that end.

Underwear Thrown at House Republicans During Transgender Bill Vote (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

LGBT activists threw underwear at Florida House Republicans as lawmakers were discussing a controversial transgender bill at the state Capitol on Tuesday. Written on the underwear were messages reading “not your business,” and “leave my genitals alone.”

Videos shared on social media show several pieces of underwear raining on lawmakers and even falling over their heads.

The bill examined by Florida lawmakers on Tuesday would effectively criminalize doctors for providing gender-affirming care to trans youth, allowing the state to remove children from the care of parents supporting their trans child’s health care. The move is in line with recent efforts made by lawmakers in Republican-led states to pass legislation limiting trans rights.

What Are They Hiding About the Nashville Shooter’s Manifesto?

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .[T]he Nashville shooting mattered, and not just because it gave the Left more talking points about the evils of gun ownership. After all, if we are being honest, the Left can come up with talking points about the evils of gun ownership over a skeeball game. What the Nashville murders revealed was the level of disconnect affecting the transgender movement. As did the fact that everyone from the White House on down seemed to be less concerned with the victims and their families than with the transgender community. Also conspicuously absent from the debate has been the incendiary language that that community has used.

Pertinent information seems to be in the manifesto written by the woman who committed the crimes. And that manifesto has been declared off-limits, so it would appear that no one is getting access to it. That includes journalist Glenn Greenwald, who has even enlisted the aid of lawyers to get the manifesto from the Nashville Police Department. But the firms have decided to back out of the effort.

In his show on Rumble, Greenwald pointed out that had this been an incident involving a far-right extremist, the manifesto would have been made public. It would have been front-page news everywhere one looked. And Greenwald also noted that understanding the shooter’s motivation is important for a myriad of reasons. Not the least of which is to prevent people from exploiting it. And in the interest of full disclosure, Greenwald might consider this column to be an example of such exploitation. But Greenwald also makes the point that the shooter probably does not fit the narrative that the media and various other entities find so tasty.

Afghanistan IG Reveals Taxpayer Money Is Flowing to Taliban — And Biden Admin Is Guilty of ‘Unprecedented’ Obstruction

/0 Comments/in , /by

John Sopko, Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, told Congress on Wednesday that taxpayer dollars are flowing into the Taliban’s pockets.

The shocking admission was made during a House Oversight Committee hearing about the Biden administration’s disastrous and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.

“Unfortunately, as I sit here today, I cannot assure this committee or the American taxpayer we are not currently funding the Taliban,” Sopko said. “Nor can I assure you that the Taliban are not diverting the money we are sending from the intended recipients, which are the poor Afghan people.”

Sopko explained that obstruction from the State Department and the United States Agency for International Development in the Biden administration has been “unprecedented.” He said both agencies have demonstrated an “abject refusal to allow oversight” of the billions of taxpayer dollars that have been sent to Afghanistan.

“I don’t trust the Taliban as far as you can throw them,” Sopko later said. “The information we’re getting — again, not from the State Department, who isn’t talking to us, or USAID — is the Taliban is already diverting funds.
