Here’s Why the Alaska GOP Has Had It With Mitch McConnell

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s a symbolic vote that illustrates the discontent among conservatives with the Republican leadership in Washington. The Alaskan GOP censured Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for his support of incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), who has been a perpetual thorn in the side of Senate Republicans. Murkowski is navigating her re-election bid through the state’s new ranked-choice voting system, which significantly benefits her. The Alaska Republican was mulling not running for a fourth term, given how the Republican base has changed and the Trump ascendancy, the latter of which she reportedly loathes so much she’s considered leaving the party. It would have been a better choice had she left, but she’s now facing Republican challenger Kelly Tshibaka and Democrat Pat Chesbro in the general election (via WaPo):

The Alaska Republican Party voted Monday to censure Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), a gesture with no practical consequence but one that is intended to send a strong signal to conservative voters in the state to vote for Donald Trump-backed candidate Kelly Tshibaka over Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski.

The McConnell-aligned super PAC Senate Leadership Fund has spent more than $5 million in ads attacking Tshibaka in a bid to help Murkowski win reelection. . .

Tshibaka, who has also been backed by the Alaska GOP, accused McConnell of lying about her to get more Republicans to vote for Murkowski.

Joe Biden Was ‘Complicit in Six Alleged White Collar Crimes’: 634-Page Watchdog Report

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden is listed as an ‘accomplice’ in six alleged white collar crimes in an explosive 634-page report on the contents of Hunter’s laptop by a right wing transparency organization, obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.

The incendiary report by nonprofit Marco Polo, a right-wing transparency group, details accusations of 459 crimes allegedly committed by Hunter including prostitution offenses, distribution and possession of drugs, defrauding government agencies, illegal foreign lobbying and money laundering.

The report – published by founder Garrett Ziegler, a 26-year-old former Trump White House aide – claims that Joe is complicit in tax evasion, violations of the Presidential Records Act and the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), and using nonpublic information from a government job for financial gain. . .

The report come days after DailyMail.com reported a White House lawyer had sent Hunter and his business partner emails about then-Vice President Joe Biden’s taxes in 2010, calling into question the president’s claim that he had no financial link to his son.

Marco Polo’s report combs through the emails, texts and pictures from the First Son’s abandoned MacBook Pro in painstaking detail and is designed, according to Ziegler, as a guide for both law enforcement and congressional investigators for ‘what to subpoena’ to build a criminal case.

Russia Walks Back Risk of Dirty Bomb Plot Amid NATO Warnings

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russia has downplayed the risk of a dirty bomb plot in Ukraine just days after claiming Ukrainian officials planned to stage such an attack following a chorus of NATO warnings rejecting the allegation.

“We have got what we wanted,” Russian deputy ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy told reporters at the United Nations. “If this all does not happen, I do not mind people saying that Russia is crying wolf because we are speaking about a terrible disaster that might potentially threaten the whole Earth.”

That sanguine tone makes a marked contrast with charges leveled over the first two days of the week as Russian military officials claimed that Ukrainian officials had reached the “final stage” of a scheme to detonate a dirty bomb and blame Moscow. Western officials denounced the allegation as “transparently false” and aired their suspicions that the Kremlin had a similar plan in mind.

“Russia often accuses others of what they intend to do themselves,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Tuesday while visiting the USS George H.W. Bush, the American aircraft carrier leading NATO’s Neptune Strike exercises in the Mediterranean. “We have seen this pattern before, from Syria to Ukraine. Russia must not use false pretexts for further escalation. The world is watching closely.” (Read more from “Russia Walks Back Risk of Dirty Bomb Plot Amid NATO Warnings” HERE)

Elon Musk Blasts Chess Champion Who Criticized His Ukraine Proposal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded to criticism from Russian Chess Grandmaster Garry Kasparov via Twitter on Wednesday. Musk tweeted that aside from chess, Kasparov “is otherwise an idiot” and a “douche.”

In an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Monday, Kasparov advocates of “some kind of settlement,” as host Andrew Sorkin framed the question, between Russia and Ukraine. Kasparov called the concept “moral idiocy and total ignorance of lessons of history.”

In particular, Kasparov accused Musk of “moral idiocy and geopolitical blindness,” after the Tesla CEO suggested Ukraine could potentially cede Crimea and the city of Sevastapol to Russia in exchange for peace.

Responding to critics who question the cost of aiding Ukraine, Kasparov told Sorkin, “The cost is huge but Ukraine is paying this cost,” before adding, “So why are people sitting in the comfort of their mansions in Silicon Valley telling Ukraine how to conduct their own affairs?”

Musk replied to the Squawk Box Twitter clip saying, “While it’s true that Kasparov is almost as good at playing chess as my iPhone, he is otherwise an idiot”

Armed Protesters, Counter-Protesters Violently Clash Over Drag Queen Storytime Event

/0 Comments/in , /by

Armed protesters and counter-protesters clashed outside a drag queen storytime event at an Oregon pub over the weekend.

More than 300 demonstrators hurled rocks and smoke grenades at each other outside Old Nick’s Pub in Eugene as a group gathered inside to read a story.

The pub was the latest target of LGBTQ+ hate after right-wing personalities complained about an 11-year-old drag performer called Vanellope who was expected to perform.

Authorities said the crowd lobbed rocks and some smoke bombs at one another before police shut the event down, according to the Register Guard.

Some protestors in the crowd came to the event for small children armed with semi-automatic rifles, officials added. (Read more from “Armed Protesters, Counter-Protesters Violently Clash Over Drag Queen Storytime Event” HERE)

Gallup: Americans’ Optimism for Young People’s Future Hits All-Time Low

/0 Comments/in , /by

Americans’ optimism about young people having more material success than their parents is as low as it has been in nearly three decades, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday.

The poll found that 42% of adults find it very or somewhat likely that today’s youth “will have a better living standard, better homes, a better education and so on.”

That marks an 18-percentage-point drop since Gallup last asked the question in 2019 and is statistically equal to the all-time low of 44% in 2011.

“Americans’ overall sour mood about the economy and the direction of the country is also borne out in their low optimism about the next generation’s prospects of having a better life than their parents,” Gallup said.

The polling company first asked the question in 2008. It said Americans with higher incomes and Republicans drove the most recent decline. (Read more from “Gallup: Americans’ Optimism for Young People’s Future Hits All-Time Low” HERE)

WATCH: Biden-Endorsed John Fetterman Opens Debate With ‘Hi. Goodnight, Everybody.’ and the Stumbles Didn’t End There

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman repeatedly stumbled over his words during a Tuesday debate with Republican rival Mehmet Oz, demonstrating the lingering effects from a stroke that knocked him off the campaign trail for more than three months.

“Hi. Goodnight, everybody,” Fetterman said during introductions.

Fetterman suffered the stroke in early May, shortly before winning his primary against Rep. Conor Lamb. He did not reappear on the campaign trail until August, and a doctor later revealed that he initially suffered heart problems in 2017 but did not receive follow-up treatment. Fetterman has primarily conducted his campaign through surrogates, most prominently his wife Gisele, who have suggested that concerns about his health constitute “ableism.”

“I might miss some words during this debate, mush two words together. It might knock me down, but I’m going to keep coming back up,” he said.

Killer Revealed: St. Louis School Shooter Pictured in Eerie Yearbook Photo as New Details Emerge; Report: School Attacker Had Rifle, Roughly 600 Rounds of Ammo

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. The “isolated loner” teenager who killed two people at his St. Louis high school was captured in an eerie yearbook photo looking sullen and expressionless.

The picture of Orlando Harris was confirmed by police on Tuesday — a day after he carried out the deadly shooting at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School.

The 19-year-old, who gunned down a fellow student and gym teacher, wore a white hoodie, a black jacket and looked solemn in the photo that was widely shared on the internet before authorities confirmed it was Harris.

Earlier Tuesday, details of chilling note written by Harris were revealed, where he called his lonely lonely life a “perfect storm for a mass shooter.”

The note was left in Harris’ car before he stormed the high school with an AR-15-style rifle and more than 600 rounds of ammunition. Harris killed tenth-grader Alexandria Bell and 61-year-old physical education teacher Jean Kuczka before he was killed in a shootout with police.

Report: St. Louis School Attacker Had Rifle, Roughly 600 Rounds of Ammo

By Breitbart. St. Louis school attacker Orlando Harris was armed with a rifle and approximately 600 rounds of ammunition when he entered Central Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) Monday morning and killed two people, according to authorities.

Breitbart News reported that police ended 19-year-old Harris’s attack minutes after it began, yet two people — a teacher and a female student — were killed in the attack.

Harris died from an exchange of gunfire with police.

Fox 3 Now noted that Harris was a 2021 graduate of CVPA, and KMOV 4 observed that he did not have a criminal history.

Harris’s car was found near the scene of the attack, and a note inside the car said, “I Don’t have any friends I don’t have any family, I’ve never had a girlfriend, I’ve never had a social life, I’ve been an isolated loner my entire life. This was the perfect storm for a mass shooting.”

Authorities have arrested 16 suspects in Arizona in connection with child sex crimes and human trafficking.

According to Phoenix Police, the department coordinated with other law enforcement agencies for “Operation Tangled Web,” an undercover operation targeting the “demand for child sex crimes and human trafficking.”

In carrying out the operation, undercover detectives posted advertisements on websites that are “commonly sought out by suspects seeking illegal sex acts,” the department said, FOX 10 reported.

“The suspects allegedly solicited and/or brokered deals for various sex acts and were subsequently arrested,” police said.

“The Phoenix Police Department routinely conducts operations of this type with our local, state and federal partners in a continuous effort to reduce the demand that fuels child sex trafficking and the exploitation of children in our community,” they continued. “The following suspects solicited various sex acts from minors and were arrested.” (Read more from “‘Operation Tangled Web’: Major Child Sex Crimes, Human Trafficking Bust Nets 16 Suspects” HERE)
