SCOTUS Justice Protection Bill One Step Closer to Becoming Law

/0 Comments/in , /by

The House passed a bill 396-27 to increase security for Supreme Court justices’ immediate families on Tuesday, approving a measure that had already been passed by unanimous consent in the Senate.

The bill comes after one man was arrested for allegedly plotting to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh and protesters demonstrated outside the homes of conservative justices following the leak of a draft opinion in a high-profile abortion case.

The bill provides for 24-hour protection for Supreme Court justices’ families, similar to what is already provided for some members of the executive and legislative branches. . .

The Senate bill was introduced three days after Politico published the leaked draft opinion, which suggested that the Supreme Court intends to overturn Roe v. Wade. While the Senate acted quickly, the House waited more than a month before approving the bill. (Read more from “SCOTUS Justice Protection Bill One Step Closer to Becoming Law” HERE)

Poll: Support for Assault-Weapon Ban Is Lowest Ever Recorded

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fewer Americans support a ban on so-called assault weapons than Quinnipiac has ever recorded, the pollster reported on June 8.

Americans are about evenly divided on whether the government should ban assault weapons, the poll found, the lowest show of support for such a ban since February 2013, when Quinnipiac first started asking about it.

These results come even as mainstream media outlets and Democratic politicians, including President Joe Biden, have ramped up calls for an assault-weapon ban in light of recent mass shootings and ahead of this year’s midterm elections.

A plurality of respondents, including most Republicans and independents and 31 percent of Democrats, told Quinnipiac that mental health issues are the main cause of mass shootings committed by young people. Only 19 percent of all respondents say “the availability of guns” is the main cause. A majority of Americans, meanwhile, oppose any efforts to limit the number of firearms in the country.

‘Pro-life Spider-Man’ Scales Oklahoma Building In Latest Anti-Abortion Stunt (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A man who calls himself the “pro-life Spider-Man” scaled Oklahoma’s tallest skyscraper on Tuesday in his latest stunt for anti-abortion activism.

Local police said they were aware Tuesday morning of a person climbing the 844-foot-tall Devon Tower in downtown Oklahoma City and advised residents to avoid the area. Once he successfully climbed to the top, Maison Des Champs was met by first responders and police and taken into custody.

“This morning a climber scaled the side of Devon Tower. We are happy to report that he is now safe,” Devon Energy tweeted. “A huge THANK YOU to our local OKC emergency responders for getting here quickly and taking action.”

Des Champs, 23, will only face a trespassing complaint following the climbing stunt, according to the Oklahoma City Police Department. The daredevil climber is a finance student originally from Michigan and has climbed multiple skyscrapers with nothing but a chalk bag and clothes on his back in an effort to raise money for anti-abortion organizations. Another person who was operating a camera drone was also taken into custody, police said.

Biden to World: Russia, Oil Sheiks, and China Control the U.S. Economy

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Friday, after news broke that inflation again accelerated to reach a 40-year high of 8.6 percent, President Joe Biden turned America’s financial crisis into a national security one by telling the world that foreign leaders have near-total control over the U.S. economy.

Shortly after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released May’s price report, which in addition to reporting an 8.6 percent annual inflationary rate showed a full 1 percent increase last month, President Biden began the spin: “Today’s report underscores why I have made fighting inflation my top economic priority. While it is good to see critical ‘core’ inflation moderating, it is not coming down as sharply and as quickly as we must see. Putin’s price hike hit hard in May here and around the world: high gas prices at the pump, energy, and food prices accounted for around half of the monthly price increases.”

The president’s entire pitch struck a chord conflicting with reality. “Biden hasn’t made inflation his top economic priority,” noted Katie Pavlich soon after. “For months, his administration denied inflation was happening, saying it wouldn’t be an issue, before calling it temporary and transitory last summer.” And the skyrocketing inflation began before Russia’s January 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

The public has long known that Biden suffers from an acute case of blameuitis. But the president’s continued claims that Putin holds responsibility for our country’s accelerating inflationary rates, when coupled with Biden’s other actions and inactions, is not merely tone deaf, it is dangerous. While finger-pointing has long been a mainstay for politicians, the Biden administration’s messaging goes beyond shifting blame to conceding that foreign leaders can control the U.S. economy in Joe Biden’s America.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Sheriff’s office in Tennessee is warning the public against picking up folded dollar bills because of possible fentanyl and methamphetamine exposure.

The Giles County Sheriff’s Department saw two incidents where a folded dollar bill was discovered on a local gas station floor that had a white powder inside that was later found to be fentanyl and methamphetamine, the office announced Thursday.

“This is very dangerous issue! Please share and educate your children to not pick up any folded money they may find in or around businesses, playgrounds etc., without using great caution and even alerting a parent or guardian,” the announcement said.

Irate Joe: Biden Gets Visibly Angry, Yells in Microphone Over Accusations of ‘Reckless Spending’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden yelled angrily into the microphone Tuesday over accusations about his “reckless spending” at the 29th AFL-CIO Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Biden attempted to debunk Republicans’ claims that he is a “big spender” and contributing to a rising deficit. He said the administration will cut the deficit by another $1.6 trillion in one year.

“We have spent a lot of money, let’s compare the facts,” Biden said. “Under my predecessor, the deficit exploded, rising every single year and all the benefit going to the top one percent, basically. Under my plan, last year we cut the deficit $350 billion doing all this … When they come to you and talk about big spenders, let them know [there is] almost $2 trillion in deficit reduction.”

“I don’t want to hear any more of these lies about reckless spending. We’re changing people’s lives!” he shouted. “And because of the facts this year, we’re delivering the biggest drop in the deficit in the history of the United States of America.”

Clinton Pollster and Karl Rove Make Stunning Biden Prediction (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A pollster for former President Bill Clinton predicted that President Joe Biden might not run for re-election in 2024 during a Monday appearance on Fox News.

“I’ve always for a long time doubted whether President Biden was actually going to run for re-election,” Mark Penn told Fox News host Martha McCallum on “The Story.” “When you’re the president and you’ve even gotten to the midterms, you really need to tell everybody you’re running because you don’t want to be a premature lame duck.”

Penn expressed surprise at comments by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York that he described as “yanking the rug” out from under Biden.

“I mean first of all, I’m focused on winning the majority right now and preserving a majority this year in 2022, so we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview on CNN Sunday. “But I think if the President has a vision, then that’s something certainly, we’re all willing to entertain and examine when the time comes.”

Other Democrats have also been expressing doubt about whether Biden should seek another term, The New York Times reported. (Read more from “Clinton Pollster and Karl Rove Make Stunning Biden Prediction” HERE)

Congressman Predicts ‘Civil War’ if Republicans Take Control

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Republican takeover of the House in the November midterm elections would “embolden” far-right extremists and white nationalists who “have been pushing” for “civil war,” contends a member of the chamber’s far-left “Squad.”

Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., said in an interview with the MSNBC show “The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross” that if Republicans regain the majority, they will shut down the Jan. 6 probe, suppress the committee’s findings and “impeach President Biden as quickly as possible, and they will continue to find ways to impeach him going forward.”

“It would also embolden Republicans and the far right, and white nationalists across the country to begin to believe that it is their time to not just take power in the House, but the Senate, the White House and statehouses across the country,” the congressman said.

“We’ve got to understand that this is a group that has been radicalized by the great replacement myth and many other things, and have been pushing for violence and pushing for even civil war. So that is what’s at stake right now in terms of this election,” he said. (Read more from “Congressman Predicts ‘Civil War’ if Republicans Take Control” HERE)

Taiwan Official Warns Supersonic Cruise Missile Can Strike Beijing

/0 Comments/in , /by

You Si Kun, President of Taiwan’s Legislative Assembly, or Yuan, gave a speech on Taiwan Overseas Network where he declared that the country’s domestically produced Yun Feng supersonic cruise missile is capable of reaching Beijing. The message follows ominous warnings made by Chinese military officials directly to their U.S. counterparts to avoid the Taiwan Strait, claiming it is not international waters. However, the United States, along with the vast majority of the international community, does not accept China’s claims in this regard. This also comes as U.S. President Joe Biden recently vowed to defend Taiwan amid a crisis, although the statement was walked back to a degree, leaving allies to question how a crisis could pan out.

In his speech, You encouraged the Chinese government to think twice before invading Taiwan, reminding them that the largely secretive Yun Feng supersonic cruise missile is a capability they won’t shy away from using. The speech also underscored a growing desire held by Taiwan to develop a more self-sufficient military-industrial complex for the country to more freely prepare for a potential conflict with China.

These ambitions are echoed by purported pressure from the U.S. government urging Taiwan to decrease its focus on some advanced weapons procurement programs in favor of less flashy but potentially more combat-relevant initiatives. You compared his aspirations to Ukraine’s will to defend its sovereignty throughout its war with Russia, insisting that Taiwan should not wait for China to invade and instead actively prepare for what may prove to be inevitable. Liberty Times Net writes of You’s remarks:

You Xikun [Si Kun] mentioned that Taiwan’s defense advantage is due to the natural dangers of the Straits. The CCP [Chinese Communist Party] must cross the Taiwan Strait to attack Taiwan, which is different from Russia’s attack on Ukraine… If you want to land, you will fight on the beachhead. If the landing is successful, everyone in Taiwan must be as determined to die as Ukraine. Go out and never let China swallow Taiwan.

…

…Yunfeng missile can already hit Beijing, and Taiwan has the ability to attack Beijing. China must think twice before invading Taiwan.
