/0 Comments/in , /by

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is turning up the heat when it comes to the battle over gas stoves.

At a news conference in Daytona Beach Shores Wednesday, he talked about how drivers are getting relief regarding the payment of tolls on roads throughout the state and his proposal to make certain childcare items tax-exempt.

In the new legislative session, which is scheduled to begin in March, DeSantis teased the idea of removing the taxes on purchasing gas stoves as something lawmakers should consider.

Carole Baskin’s ‘Dead’ Husband Found Alive — But No One Noticed Last Year

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Hey all you cool cats and kittens,” Carole Baskin’s husband isn’t dead after all.

The “Tiger King” star’s ex-husband, Don Lewis, has been found alive in Costa Rica, but the discovery is just now going viral — over a year later.

During a November 2021 interview with ITV’s “This Morning” talk show, Baskin, 61, revealed that her ex, who was declared legally dead in 2002 after disappearing a few years before, is actually alive and well. . .

“One of the really exciting things that came out of ‘Tiger King 2’ is that they produced a letter from Homeland Security and it says that a special agent in charge with the FBI at Homeland Security reached out to the sheriff’s detective George [Jorge] Fernandez, which means this had to have happened after 2002, because Homeland Security wasn’t even around until 2002,” Baskin told the outlet at the time.

She continued, revealing, “And they said that my husband, Don Lewis, is alive and well in Costa Rica.” (Read more from “Carole Baskin’s ‘Dead’ Husband Found Alive — But No One Noticed Last Year” HERE)

White House Slapped With Ethics Complaint as Biden Classified Documents Scandal Spirals; Flashback: That Time Biden Derailed a Carter Nominee for…Possessing Classified Files

/3 Comments/in , , /by

By Fox News. A government watchdog filed a federal complaint over the involvement of the White House Counsel’s office in President Biden’s growing classified documents scandal.

Fox News Digital has learned that government watchdog Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) filed their complaint with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on Tuesday.

“The American public will not tolerate a two-tiered system of justice – with well-connected insiders subject to a lower standard of scrutiny than the normal citizen,” PPT director Mike Chamberlain said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“President Biden promised the most ethical and transparent administration in history,” Chamberlain said. “If the White House compounded a scandal involving possible mishandling of classified documents by improperly using taxpayer resources for his personal benefit and putting White House attorneys in positions that created conflicts of interest, we could be witnessing a serious betrayal of the public’s already-plummeting trust.”

“It also creates the spectre of possible obstruction of a congressional investigation, depending on the legal basis for the intervention and any future privileges claimed by the White House on this escalating scandal,” he added.

Flashback: That Time Biden Derailed a Carter Nominee for…Possessing Classified Files

By Townhall. . .[A]s if the hypocrisy with this circus wasn’t bad enough, let’s rehash then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) torpedoed the CIA nomination of former Kennedy speechwriter Ted Sorensen under Jimmy Carter, heavily opposed by the intelligence community—Sorensen had no foreign policy experience. The Intercept thought it was worth mentioning. And it is: a broken clock is right twice a day. Biden gave the aura of supporting the nomination before delivering a haymaker to the nominee about his improper acquisition of classified materials. Biden sided with Senate Republicans to kill this nomination, which Sorensen, who passed away in 2010, said was an event that should have awarded Biden a “prize for political hypocrisy in a town noted for political hypocrisy” (via The Intercept):

The revelation that Biden illicitly stored classified materials, including in his garage, is a grave embarrassment to the president, particularly in light of the fact that Democrats have hammered away at Trump for months over the classified documents he retained at Mar-a-Lago. But there is also a relevant story from Biden’s past that bears mentioning.

The events took place during the administration of Jimmy Carter, when Biden was a rising star in the U.S. Senate and an inaugural member of the Intelligence Committee, which was established in response to the lawlessness of the Nixon administration. Biden colluded with Republicans on the Intelligence Committee to kill the nomination of a CIA critic to be director of the agency. Among the reasons was that the nominee, Ted Sorensen, had admitted to taking classified documents for a biography of his longtime friend John F. Kennedy and had spoken out in defense of Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg. In fact, Biden went so far as to suggest Sorensen might be subject to prosecution under the Espionage Act.

[…]

When Sorensen came under attack from Republicans, though, Biden shifted his position and went out of his way to dig up an episode from Sorenson’s past that would serve as a red flag against his confirmation. Sorensen had given an affidavit in Ellsberg’s case, in which Sorensen acknowledged that many officials in Washington, including himself, would take classified documents home to review and that officials often leaked far more sensitive documents to the press without facing prosecutions.

Biden said he learned of the affidavit, which was never filed in court, from a Republican colleague and assessed that the Republicans on the committee would seek to use it to discredit Sorensen. Biden had his staff scour documents and Sorensen’s books to find the unfiled affidavit, and an aide who was involved with the Pentagon Papers case eventually located it. This, combined with other concerns, including allegations that Sorensen was a pacifist who dodged the Korean War draft, put the nomination in peril. “It was like being blindsided by a truck,” Sorensen said, describing the campaign against him as an effort where “many little dirty streams flowed together to make one large one.”

Rep. Jim Jordan Says New Subcommittee Will Probe ‘Disparate’ Treatment of Jan. 6 Defendants

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan said the new subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government wants to investigate the alleged mistreatment of Jan. 6, 2021, defendants during their detainment.

Mr. Jordan, Ohio Republican, said Monday during a radio interview with host Bob Frantz that numerous whistleblowers have come forward to talk to GOP lawmakers about the Justice Department’s “disparate treatment” of those who rioted during the summer of 2020 and those who rioted at the U.S. Capitol in 2021.

“The only concern would be that when you try to get someone who’s currently incarcerated to come testify, that can be an ordeal, but we will certainly look at that,” Mr. Jordan said, adding that the Jan. 6 defendants would also be subjected to “hours of questioning from the Democrats.”

“But this is something that we’re definitely going to look at,” he said, adding that there was also a double standard for those who protested outside of abortion clinics and those who “attack over 100 churches and crisis pregnancy centers.”

“So that is certainly a theme that we think is important to explore in the work of the subcommittee and frankly, the full committee,” Mr. Jordan said. (Read more from “Rep. Jim Jordan Says New Subcommittee Will Probe ‘Disparate’ Treatment of Jan. 6 Defendants” HERE)

Gay Couple Allegedly Pimped Out, Made Child Porn With Adopted Children: Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

[Warning: content contains graphic language regarding child sex abuse.]

A shocking investigation has reportedly uncovered disturbing new details about a gay activist couple in Georgia who are charged with raping their adopted sons and pimping them out to a local “LGBTQ pedophile ring.”

A months-long Townhall investigation published Tuesday viewed recorded jailhouse calls and new court documents and spoke exclusively to a family member, revealing that the alleged sexual abuse went much deeper than previously reported. The investigation will have three more installments, Townhall said.

The married couple, William Dale Zulock Jr., 33, a government worker, and his husband Zachary Jacoby Zulock, 35, a banker, were arrested last summer on charges of sodomizing their two elementary-aged sons and prostituting the children. . .

According to the 17-count indictment, the two men allegedly performed oral sex on both their adoptive sons, forced the boys to perform oral sex on them, and raped their sons anally. At least once, the older boy was allegedly injured from the anal rape. . .

The Zulocks have been a prominent presence in the gay activism scene. In 2014, they marched in Atlanta’s Pride parade, and Out magazine, a well-known LGBTQ publication, has repeatedly asked to feature their photos on its website. Zachary’s Snapchat profile includes “Activist!” (Read more from “Gay Couple Allegedly Pimped Out, Made Child Porn With Adopted Children: Investigation” HERE)

White House Won’t Say if Feds Searching for More Biden Classified Docs or if Biden Is Involved in Search (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to say during Tuesday’s press briefing whether federal officials were still searching for additional classified documents from President Joe Biden’s time as vice president in the Obama administration.

“Last week [you said] that we all can assume, the American people could assume that the searches were completed and all the documents have been recovered,” the Associated Press reporter Zeke Miller said. “On Saturday, the White House Counsel’s Office said that five additional classified documents had been found.”

“Is it safe to assume now that all the documents have been recovered, all the official records, all the classified documents are back in [the] custody of the National Archives?” Miller asked. “Or are more searches underway to find out if there’s anything out there?”

Jean-Pierre refused to answer the question, claiming that she was being “prudent” by letting the DOJ’s special counsel investigation into Biden continue without commenting on it.

Trump Blasts Evangelicals for ‘Disloyalty’ Over Lack of 2024 Support

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at evangelicals for not supporting his latest presidential campaign, saying it was a “sign of disloyalty” after he appointed three conservative Supreme Court justices and made their long-held dream of overturning Roe v. Wade possible.

Trump, 76, told Real America’s Voice’s “The Water Cooler” Monday that the religious bloc of voters who were key to his 2016 victory have not yet come out to back his 2024 White House bid.

“That’s a sign of disloyalty,” Trump told host David Brody. “There’s great disloyalty in the world of politics, and that’s a sign of disloyalty.” . . .

But the former president added that he was “disappointed” that evangelicals failed to rally behind the court’s decision during the midterm elections, when many Democratic candidates campaigned on the issue. . .

“Because, you know, they won, and a lot of them didn’t fight or weren’t really around to fight. And it did energize the Democrats. But a lot of the people who wanted and fought for years to get it … they weren’t there protesting and doing what they could have done,” he added.

SATIRE: Sleepy Joe Can’t Stop Me From Buying F-15s for Protection Against Doddering Tyrants Like Him

/0 Comments/in , /by

DAVOS—I hate it here. The food is under-portioned, overly garnished, and overpriced. Ditto the drugs and prostitutes. The company is as lousy as one might expect. Picture a bunch of rich nerds bereft of repartee, jacked up on virgin blood transfusions, pitching blockchain Ponzi schemes to Chinese fertilizer tycoons, raving about “eternal consciousness” and “driving inclusive impact by rescripting intentionally vis-à-vis diverse need-state expectations in the digital age.” Hunter Biden is the only cool person in attendance. Too bad his old man is a demented goon hellbent on destroying America.

“I love my right-wing friends who talk about ‘the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots,'” President Joe Biden said Monday at an anti-Semitic breakfast rally. “If you need to work about taking on the federal government, you need some F-15s. You don’t need an AR-15.”

God love him. When he’s right, he’s right. The tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots. Our Founding Fathers held this truth to be self-evident. That’s why they so eloquently resolved that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.”

That’s why I’ve come to Davos. To ensure the security of our free state against the brutish whims of petty tyrants like King George and Sleepy Joe. [Please redact the following: To liaise with corrupt Albanian and Turkish military officers regarding the lawful return of NATO F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets and MIM-104 Patriot missile systems to the American citizens whose tax dollars funded their development and manufacture.] To preserve our God-given right to defend ourselves with the advanced instruments of modern warfare.

We need some F-15s. Guns alone will not suffice against an “elected” president who threatens airstrikes against his political opponents. I review the U.S. Constitution every morning with a large mug of Black Rifle coffee. (I prefer the Flying Ginsu blend, infused with the remains of eviscerated terrorists.) Go ahead, show me the part that gives federal bureaucrats the power to infringe on private ownership of fighter jets, extended range cannon artillery, and surface-to-air missile launchers.

Russia to Hold Mysterious U.N. Security Council Meeting on Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Russian envoy to the United Nations suggested Moscow would deliver a sharp riposte to criticism of its invasion of Ukraine and hold an informal meeting at the body to outline its stance.

The first deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, Dmitry Polyanskiy, took aim at the nature of U.N. discussions about the war in Ukraine in a Telegram post on January 12, the Russian state-run news agency TASS reported.

In it, Polyanskiy criticized how on January 13, “western sponsors of Ukraine” would hold a meeting “the exact topic of which they cannot even formulate.” He said that “once a month” U.N. members would push an “anti-Russian” slant during discussions about the war.

He then issued an ambiguous warning about upcoming U.N. meetings, writing, “I will not expand on what will happen in the Security Council at our suggestion in Ukraine at the beginning of next week.” (Read more from “Russia to Hold Mysterious U.N. Security Council Meeting on Ukraine” HERE)

US Will ‘Soon’ Have ‘Illegal Hate Speech’ Laws, Says World Economic Forum Panelist

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. will “soon” have “illegal hate speech laws,” said European Union official Vera Jourova at a World Economic Forum (WEF) panel.

Jourova participated in Tuesday’s WEF panel on “the clear and present danger of disinformation,” alongside former CNN Host Brian Stelter, Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger and media executive Jeanne Bourgault.

“For hate speech, we need the people who understand the language and the case law in the country, because what qualifies as hate speech, illegal hate speech, which you will have soon also in the U.S., we have a strong reason why we have this in the criminal law,” Jourova said 36 minutes into the panel.

“We need the platforms to simply work with the language and identify such cases. The AI [artificial intelligence] would be too dangerous,” Jourova added. She was answering a question from the crowd about making the “truth” as “attractive and compelling” as the “lies” people consume.
