Democrats Pushing Fingerprints, Increased Fees for Gun Owners

Illinois House Democrats are pushing fingerprint requirements and increased fees for the Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) cards that state residents must acquire in order to purchase/possess firearms.

The state House passed the legislation, House Bill 1091, Saturday afternoon, the State Journal-Register noted.

HB 1091 would require to FOID card applicants to submit fingerprints along with their application and would require current card holders to submit fingerprints when they renew their card.

Democrat state Rep. Maura Hirschauer painted the bill as a pursuit of “safety,” but Republican state Rep. Tony McCombie countered, saying, “This is not…about public safety. It’s just another gun grab in Illinois.” (Read more from “Democrats Pushing Fingerprints, Increased Fees for Gun Owners” HERE)

Biden’s $6 Trillion Spending Proposal Forces American Taxpayers to Fund Abortions

President Joe Biden’s $6 trillion spending proposal will force American taxpayers to fund abortions after removing the Hyde Amendment.

Since the 1970s, Congress has included the Hyde Amendment in spending bills to prevent taxpayer dollars from funding abortions except if the mother’s life is in danger, she was raped, or there was incest. Biden’s newest spending plan excludes this provision protecting Americans’ consciences and instead reinstates giving federal finances out to cover killing babies.

Studies show that Americans largely oppose funding abortions in the United States and overseas but Biden’s commitment to appeasing pro-abortion activists and progressives appears to outweigh public opinion.

“For more than four decades, the Hyde family of pro-life policies has kept American taxpayers out of the abortion business, with the Hyde Amendment itself saving nearly 2.5 million lives. The Biden budget throws that longstanding, bipartisan consensus out the window to fulfill a campaign promise to the radical abortion lobby,” said Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. (Read more from “Biden’s $6 Trillion Spending Proposal Forces American Taxpayers to Fund Abortions” HERE)

Hunter Biden Bragged About Smoking Crack With Former D.C. Mayor

President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, bragged about smoking crack with former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry in a recording published by the Daily Mail on Friday.

“You know what, I actually smoked crack with Marion Barry, I swear to f***ng god,’” Hunter is heard on the recording in a 2019 conversation with an unnamed friend.

Hunter, now 51, said he was a junior at Georgetown University at the time he smoked with Barry, who died in 2014. Barry was an infamous addict who spent six months in federal prison following an FBI sting operation in 1990 after he was caught on camera smoking in a hotel room.

In the recording, Hunter explained he met Barry in the bathroom of a local bar and smoked together. (Read more from “Hunter Biden Bragged About Smoking Crack With Former D.C. Mayor” HERE)

Male Transgender MMA Fighter Freaks Out at Joe Biden Over Remarks About Trans Athletes

A transgender [“female”] athlete said that Joe Rogan should stop talking about the contentious issue of transgender people competing in sports. . .

The 45-year-old spoke out against Rogan and other critics of transgender athletes in an interview with ET Canada.

“A lot of prominent people were talking about a bunch of horrible things. The Joe Rogans, the Ronda Rouseys, the Dana Whites of the world,” said Fox.

“From what they said about me in the past, I could have just crawled up into a ball and given up. I could have just stopped competing, but I didn’t,” Fox explained. “I kept competing and I kept talking about this issue and I’m going to continue to do it.”

Fox went on to opine that Rogan, one of the most successful podcasters in history, should simply stop talking about transgender athletes. (Read more from “Male Transgender MMA Fighter Freaks Out at Joe Biden Over Remarks About Trans Athletes” HERE)

Man Faces Life Sentence for Allegedly Shooting Occupied Car With BB Gun (VIDEO)

A California man with a prior record is facing the possibility of life behind bars for attempted murder after officials say he fired a BB gun at a vehicle carrying three passengers. Authorities believe he is responsible for many more similar incidents.

Officials believe Jesse Leal Rodriguez, 32, is the person who allegedly fired a BB gun and shattered the window of a Tesla with three passengers inside earlier this week, The Orange County Register reported. He was arrested on three counts of attempted murder and three counts of assault for the incident that happened in Norco.

KTLA-TV reported that prosecutors say Rodriguez faces the possibility of life in prison if convicted on all counts, because he has a prior “strike” conviction. . .

Witnesses told investigators that the person responsible was driving a maroon Chevrolet Trailblazer. Authorities were able to track down Rodriguez, and a search of the vehicle recovered a BB gun, BBs, and other purported evidence that was not disclosed.

Poll: QAnon as Popular as Some Religions

An estimated 30 million Americans are praying at the altar of Q, according to a new poll by religious interest groups.

That number means QAnon has more followers in America than Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism combined. . .

Now, a poll by the Public Religion Research Institute and the Interfaith Youth Core confirms QAnon’s political and ideological stranglehold over American society.

“Thinking about QAnon, if it were a religion, it would be as big as all white evangelical Protestants, or all white mainline Protestants,” PRRI founder Robert P. Jones told the New York Times. “So it lines up there with a major religious group.”

Of the 5,625 respondents to the survey, 15% said they agreed with QAnon’s core premise — that “the government, media and financial worlds in the US are controlled by a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles who run a global child sex trafficking operation.” (Read more from “Poll: QAnon as Popular as Some Religions” HERE)

Biden: China Believes It Will ‘Own America’ Within 15 Years

President Biden dropped an ominous note into his remarks to American service members at a Virginia military base Friday, telling them that his Chinese counterpart believes Beijing will “own America” inside the next 15 years.

“We’re in a battle between democracies and autocracies,” Biden told troops at Joint Base Langley Eustis in Hampton. “The more complicated the world becomes, the more difficult it is for democracies to come together and reach consensus.

“I’ve spent more time with President Xi [Jinping] of China than any world leader has — for 24 hours of private meetings with him with just an interpreter, 17,000 miles traveling with him in China and here,” the president added. “He firmly believes that China, before the year [20]30, ’35, is going to own America because autocracies can make quick decisions.”

The president did not elaborate on what was meant by “own America.” He made no other mention of China during his 23-minute remarks. (Read more from “Biden: China Believes It Will ‘Own America’ Within 15 Years” HERE)

Bombshell: Fauci Said Risk of Manipulating Bat Viruses Was Worth a Potential Pandemic

Things keep getting worse for NIH Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, who continues to say during testimony on Capitol Hill that he didn’t fund Frankenstein gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

According to The Weekend Australian, Fauci wrote in 2012 that continuing dangerous gain-of-function research was worth the risk of a pandemic.

In previously unreported remarks, Dr Fauci supported the contentious gain-of-­function experiments that some now fear might have led to an escape from a Wuhan laboratory causing the Covid-19 pandemic, calling them “important work”.

An investigation by The Weekend Australian has also confirmed Dr Fauci, the director of the Nat­ional Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, did not alert senior White House officials before lifting the ban on gain-of-function research in 2017.

Writing in the American Society for Microbiology in October 2012, Dr Fauci acknowledged the controversial scientific research could spark a pandemic.

Mayor Sued for Refusing White Reporter Interviews

No white people. That’s the interview rule that Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has enacted because subtracting people from the pool is good for diversity or something. Leah wrote about this last week. Only nonwhite reporters can interview the mayor which seems unconstitutional on its face. When CNN defends this policy, you know it’s wrong. Some Latino reporters at the Chicago Tribune refused to adhere to this policy as well. For all the talk about racism and supposedly combating it, the Left sure loves to enact policies that are…pretty racist. And now, the mayor is facing a lawsuit over this interview protocol (via NY Post):

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was hit with a lawsuit for allegedly dodging a white reporter’s interview requests – a week after she said she’d only speak one-on-one with journalists of color.

News outlet The Daily Caller and Judicial Watch announced the lawsuit Thursday, in the aftermath of Lightfoot’s temporary policy, which she launched in protest of the lack of diversity in the Windy City press corps.

“It’s absurd that an elected official believes she can discriminate on the basis of race,” Daily Caller editor-in-chief Ethan Barton said in a statement.

Illegal Alien Found Guilty Of Murdering Mollie Tibbetts

An illegal alien has been found guilty of murdering 20-year-old University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts by a jury on Friday.

Cristhian Bahena Rivera, an illegal alien from Mexico, was arrested in August 2018 — about a month after Tibbetts first went missing on the evening of July 18, 2018, in Brooklyn, Iowa — and charged with first-degree murder.

Bahena Rivera led investigators to Tibbetts’ body and he said he spotted her jogging, ran up to her, and became angry because she threatened to call the police. Rivera said he then blacked out and took her body from his car trunk and placed her in a cornfield, placing corn stalks over her.

Bahena Rivera first crossed the United States-Mexico border at 17-years-old and headed to Iowa where he has relatives. He worked at the Yarabee Farms dairy farm under the name “John Budd” from a stolen Social Security number.

Twelve jurors, including three Hispanic Americans and nine white Americans from 19 to 71-years-old, found Bahena Rivera guilty of first-degree murder following a nearly two-week trial and less than eight hours of deliberation.
