Putin Visits Russian Troops in Occupied Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the headquarters of Russian troops fighting in Ukraine early Tuesday, his second trip to the Russian-held territories there since March.

A video released by the Kremlin and broadcast by Russian state television showed Putin visiting the command post for Russian forces in the southern Kherson region. It showed Putin arriving by helicopter to receive reports from the top military brass about the combat situation.

The Russian leader then moved by helicopter to the headquarters of the Russian National Guard of the eastern Luhansk region to hear a report from commanders.

In both locations, Putin congratulated the military on Orthodox Easter, which was celebrated Sunday and presented them with icons.

Russia annexed the Kherson and Luhansk regions along with the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions in September in a move that was rejected by much of the world as illegal. (Read more from “Putin Visits Russian Troops in Occupied Ukraine” HERE)

Donald Trump Posts Scorched-Earth Rant Against Ron ‘Desanctus,’ Blasts Gov’s ‘Political Stunt’ Against Disney

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Florida Gov. Ron “DeSanctus” is “being absolutely destroyed” in his ongoing feud with Disney and suggested that the House of Mouse could pull out of the Sunshine State completely.

“DeSanctus is being absolutely destroyed by Disney. His original P.R. plan fizzled, so now he’s going back with a new one in order to save face,” the 76-year-old former president wrote on his messaging platform Truth Social, using one of his preferred nicknames for the 44-year-old governor.

“Disney’s next move will be the announcement that no more money will be invested in Florida because of the Governor – In fact, they could even announce a slow withdrawal or sale of certain properties, or the whole thing. Watch!,” Trump added. “That would be a killer.”

“In the meantime, this is all so unnecessary, a political STUNT! Ron should work on the squatter MESS!,” the 45th president went on.

DeSantis and the entertainment behemoth have been at loggerheads since last year, when the company first spoke out against legislation the governor signed banning discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade classrooms.

Transgender Activist Whose Threatening Video Went Viral After Nashville Shooting Gets Fired From US Forest Agency and Blames Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

A transgender activist whose threatening video went viral after the horrendous mass shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, was fired from the U.S. Forest Service and blamed the Biden administration.

“I’ve been fired from my job with the Forest Service because of the lies published by the Daily Mail, Newsweek, and other right-wing tabloids,” tweeted Kayla Denker on Friday. . .

Denker had brandished a firearm in the video and threatened to kill “transphobes” in self-defense.

“While advocating for trans people to ‘arm ourselves’ is not any kind of a solution to the genocide we are facing, I do want to say that if any of you transphobes do try to come for me I am taking a few of you with me,” Denker wrote in the caption of the video.

Denker’s video went viral after the mass shooting committed by a transgender person in Nashville at a Christian grade school, but Denker claims that the video was posted before the massacre.

Riley Gaines Blasts Lia Thomas for Hyping Rule That Would Force States to Allow Men Into Women’s Sports

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines blasted Lia, formerly William, Thomas for backing a Biden administration regulation that would force American states to permit men in women’s sports.

Although it’s personal for Gaines, who had to compete with the male athlete last year, the All-American swim star has also made clear that she wants to help spare future generations of girls and women from having men similarly invade their sports.

Earlier this month, the Biden administration proposed a regulation prohibiting schools and universities that receive federal funding from segregating sports across the board based on biological sex. . .

Thomas came out in support of the proposed regulation in a recent video, in which he appeared dressed in a shirt that said, “Trans athletes belong in sports.” . . .

Accordingly, Thomas called on activists to pressure the Biden administration to push the transgender agenda farther.

Jail Transfers 600 Inmates After Man Was Allegedly Eaten Alive by Insects

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Fulton County Jail in Georgia is transferring more than 600 inmates and releasing an emergency $500,000 expenditure to address overcrowding issues after a man with schizophrenia was allegedly eaten alive by bugs in his cell.

The move comes days after deceased inmate Lashawn Thompson’s family filed a lawsuit against the jail after the 35-year-old, who had schizophrenia, was apparently eaten alive by bedbugs and other insects.

“It’s no secret that the dilapidated and rapidly eroding conditions of the current facility make it incredibly difficult to meet the goal of providing a safe, clean, well-maintained and healthy environment for all inmates and staff,” Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat said in a Sunday statement. “Without making explicit statements about Mr. Thompson’s health, it’s fair to say that this is one of many cases that illustrate the desperate need for expanded and better mental health services.”

On Monday, Labat “asked for, received, and accepted the resignations of the Chief Jailer, Assistant Chief Jailer and Assistant Chief Jailer, Criminal Investigative Division,” according to a press release.

Biden Admin Predicts New Illegal Alien ‘Surge’ Next Month as Pandemic’s Border Restrictions Fade

/0 Comments/in , /by

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas acknowledged Tuesday that the conditions along the southern border will deteriorate next month when the government’s Title 42 pandemic authority to immediately expel illegal border crossers disappears, but told a congressional hearing that his department is working to adapt to the changed conditions.

Mr. Mayorkas did not offer specific numbers on border traffic, but a projection last year, ahead of a previous deadline for ending Title 42, said that as many as 18,000 illegal immigrants could cross per day.

That would be nearly triple the amount that arrived each day in March.

“We do anticipate a surge in the number of encounters,” Mr. Mayorkas told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

Title 42 is the public health law invoked by the Trump administration at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic — and retained by the Biden administration — that allows U.S. border agents to deny individuals entrance into the country in order to “prevent [the] spread of communicable disease.” (Read more from “Biden Admin Predicts New Illegal Alien ‘Surge’ Next Month as Pandemic’s Border Restrictions Fade” HERE)

Biden’s ATF Chief Admits He Can’t Define What an ‘Assault Weapon’ Is

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .[Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Director Steve] Dettelbach told Republican Texas Rep. Jake Ellzey that he had expressed support for passing an assault weapons ban in Ohio during his unsuccessful 2018 campaign to become the state’s attorney general, noting that the Biden administration endorses instituting “an assault weapons ban.” Ellzey asked Dettelbach to define an “assault weapon” in 15 seconds.

“I’ll go shorter than that, because honestly, if Congress wishes to take that up, I think Congress would have to do the work, but we would be there to provide technical assistance,” Dettelbach said. “I, unlike you, am not a firearms expert to the same extent as you maybe, but we have people at ATF who can talk about velocity of firearms, what damage different kinds of firearms cause, so that whatever determination you chose to make would be an informed one.” (Read more from “Biden’s ATF Chief Admits He Can’t Define What an ‘Assault Weapon’ Is” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, President Joe Biden reiterated his false claim that guns are the “leading killer of children.”

Biden tweeted:

Biden has made the claim regarding guns and children numerous times. He began doing so in the summer of 2022, which is when Breitbart News fact checked his claim and found it to be false. . .

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data shows that the number of firearm related deaths for children 0-17 was 2,281 in 2020, while the number of motor vehicle deaths for the same ages was 2,503.

Pentagon Doesn’t Know How Many More Leaked Documents Are Out There

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon is not sure how many more leaked documents exist on the internet, its deputy press secretary revealed Monday.

According to Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and senior Pentagon officials have convened daily meetings to “examine the scope and scale” of the disclosure, as well as to try to prevent future leaks.

Asked by reporters whether the DOD knows at this point how many documents were leaked, Singh said, “This is an ongoing investigation being led by the Department of Justice. So we are working, consulting with them on an ongoing basis but that investigation will reveal more documents that have been, you know, previously posted.”

She added that in addition to that investigation, the Pentagon’s Intelligence and Security department is doing its own investigation “to get a better assessment of what exactly — what documents were disclosed and where they surfaced online.”

Pressed further, she said, “We’re going to continue to find docs online. … I don’t have a specific number for you at the moment. It’s something that we’re still reviewing, we’re still assessing, and when we have a better grasp of just the scope and scale, we’d be happy to update you but that’s something that we’re continuing to assess.” (Read more from “Pentagon Doesn’t Know How Many More Leaked Documents Are Out There” HERE)

Bud Light’s Parent Company Engages in Racist Hiring Practices, Federal Complaint Alleges

/0 Comments/in , /by

America First Legal filed a federal civil rights complaint against Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of controversial beer brand Bud Light, for allegedly instituting discriminatory practices under the guise of diversity, equity, and inclusion, also known as DEI.

The company has witnessed considerable backlash after executives partnered with self-identified transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. America First Legal, a conservative advocacy organization launched by former Trump administration senior adviser Stephen Miller, filed the complaint against Anheuser-Busch on Monday over workforce programs which the group says constitute a violation of civil rights laws.

Anheuser-Busch created a leadership accelerator program that provides “formal mentorship, executive interaction, and leadership development curriculum for those who identify with historically underrepresented groups as they join our organization in a full-time capacity.” The company encouraged “Black, Latinx, and Native American” applicants while omitting an invitation to white and Asian applicants. According to America First Legal, Budweiser, another brand controlled by Anheuser-Busch, established an “unlawful race-based scholarship and internship program” with the United Negro College Fund to support 25 black students who are interested in the food sciences industry.

The company’s most recent annual report likewise noted DEI initiatives, including efforts to increase “overall representation of women in top leadership positions.” America First Legal called the efforts discriminatory and said that the “definition of a woman” held by Anheuser-Busch is likely “not limited to biological females” because of the firm’s partnership with Mulvaney, who chronicled his supposed gender transition on TikTok and subsequently landed countless brand deals with leading companies.
