Numbers Undercut Biden Administration Claims on Ghost Guns

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration is cracking down on so-called ghost guns to solve America’s epidemic of gun violence but crime stats from major cities and the Justice Department suggest the do-it-yourself weapons are a small part of the problem. . .

Democrats praised the idea and pointed to cities that report spikes in the use of ghost guns, though DIY firearms remain a small percentage of all firearms seized by police.

In Chicago, for example, only 139 out of the 11,258 firearms seized last year — roughly 1.2% — were ghost guns. That number, however, represents a 93% increase from the 72 ghost guns seized in 2019.

Philadelphia police in 2019 seized 95 ghost guns, accounting for 2.2% of the 4,264 guns they confiscated. In 2018, Philadelphia police confiscated 13 ghost guns. . .

A 2019 Justice Department study found that 43% of criminals purchased their weapons on the black market, but none made their weapons at home. (Read more from “Numbers Undercut Biden Administration Claims on Ghost Guns” HERE)

Boarding School Turns Over Its Chaplain To Anti-Terrorism Authorities for Preaching Against LGBT Policies

/1 Comment/in , /by

A boarding school in the United Kingdom secretly turned over its chaplain to an anti-terrorism program after preaching a sermon in which he defended students’ rights to question the school’s new LGBTQ policies, the Daily Mail reported. . .

The Rev. Dr. Bernard Randall told students at independent Trent College near Nottingham that it was OK for them to disagree with the policies, especially if they go against Church of England principles, the outlet said.

One of the school’s new policies was to “develop a whole school LGBT+ inclusive curriculum,” the Daily Mail said.

But when the powers that be at the boarding school deemed Randall’s sermon “harmful” to LGBTQ students, the school turned him in to Prevent, which the outlet said normally identifies individuals at risk of radicalization.

However, after police investigated the tip, they told Trent College that the 48-year-old chaplain posed “no counter terrorism risk, or risk of radicalization,” the Daily Mail said, adding that Derbyshire Police confirmed the case “did not meet the threshold for a Prevent referral.” (Read more from “Boarding School Turns Over Its Chaplain To Anti-Terrorism Authorities for Preaching Against LGBT Policies” HERE)

More Than 8K ‘Remain In Mexico’ Illegals Released In U.S.

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s administration has released into the United States interior more than 8,300 migrants enrolled in the now-defunct “Remain in Mexico” program, offering them work permits to take American jobs.

After taking office in January, Biden ended the Remain in Mexico program, which had proven remarkably effective in eliminating the Catch and Release policy whereby border crossers are apprehended and subsequently released into the U.S. interior while awaiting their asylum hearings.

As of February, of the more than 71,000 asylum cases under Remain in Mexico, less than one percent of foreign nationals were found to have a legitimate asylum claim.

Biden announced in February that his Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with the help of the United Nations, would start releasing about 25,600 migrants enrolled in the program into the U.S. interior. Breitbart News exclusively reported that the migrants are being released in Brownsville and El Paso, Texas, as well as San Diego, California.

Judge Tosses NRA Bankruptcy Filing

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Texas judge on Tuesday tossed the National Rifle Association’s bankruptcy filing, calling into question the beleaguered advocacy group’s attempt to move to the state.

Judge Harlin Hale of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Dallas dismissed the group’s Chapter 11 filing, writing that CEO Wayne LaPierre was using the filing “to gain an unfair litigation advantage” and “to avoid a state regulatory scheme.”

Hale wrote in his opinion that the organization has strayed from its original intended purpose, which was to advocate for a broad reading of the Second Amendment.

“The mission and function of the NRA is focused on gun safety, and the NRA asserts it is ‘the nation’s foremost defender’ of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution,” he wrote. “In recent years, however, it has become apparent that the NRA was suffering from inadequate governance and internal controls.” (Read more from “Judge Tosses NRA Bankruptcy Filing” HERE)

‘Bombshell’: ‘Phantom Votes’ Emerge in 2020 Election Lawsuit

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Michigan county embroiled in controversy when it counted thousands of votes for Joe Biden that were cast for Donald Trump isn’t out of the woods yet: A judge has been told that 1,061 “phantom votes” have been found there.

Officials in Republican-majority Antrim County initially reported voters chose Joe Biden in the the 2020 presidential race. But tabulation errors were discovered and Trump was shown to be the winner. State and county officials blamed the proble on human error, but two local citizens have filed a lawsuit contending the Dominion Voting Systems machines used in the tabulation could have been used to manipulate the election.

The Washington Examiner reports attorney Matthew DePerno, representing Antrim County resident William Bailey, told County Circuit Judge Kevin Elsenheimer during a virtual hearing on Monday that a recount in December tallied 15,962 ballots. However, the Michigan secretary of state’s database shows only 14,901 votes were cast. That means 1,061 don’t exist on voter rolls.

The defendants in the lawsuit, including Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, insist Bailey has no right to sue. (Read more from “‘Bombshell’: ‘Phantom Votes’ Emerge in 2020 Election Lawsuit” HERE)

Russian Hacker Group Threatens to Release Sensitive DC Police Records

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Russian-speaking cyberhacking group threatened to release sensitive stolen data from the Washington, D.C., police department that could put lives at risk if the group’s demands for more money are not fulfilled.

The threat comes shortly after another cyberattack on a major oil pipeline that has severely restricted gas supply on the East Coast, illustrating the threat posed by online criminal gangs that can create destruction and demise from far away.

“This is far worse than any hack of other police departments previously,” Brett Callow, a cyberthreat expert at security firm Emsisoft, told the Associated Press. He also said he was not aware of any law enforcement agency ever paying a ransom before.

In April, the Babuk group hacked into the city police department’s online network and threatened to release personal details on the identities of confidential informants to the police if a ransom was not paid. Such a release could put the lives of the informants at risk.

The gang asked for $4 million and received a counteroffer from the district police of $100,000, which it rejected, according to the Associated Press. (Read more from “Russian Hacker Group Threatens to Release Sensitive DC Police Records” HERE)

Top Doc: Feds Demonizing COVID-19 Treatments in Order To Promote Vaccine

/1 Comment/in , /by

“Something has gone off the rails” in the world’s approach to the novel coronavirus pandemic, with health authorities in the U.S. and abroad suppressing safe, cheap and effective treatments while promoting experimental vaccines that have received only emergency use authorization, contends Dr. Peter McCullough.

McCullough, a renowned cardiologist who testified to the U.S. Senate last fall on COVID-19 treatments, pointed out in a lengthy interview with Tucker Carlson’s Fox Nation show “Tucker Carlson Today” that the National Institutes of Health issued a guideline recommending physicians not treat COVID-19 until a patient needs oxygen.

“This document will go down in history as the most nihilistic medical guidance as Americans are suffering,” said McCullough, the vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas.

Asked to explain why such guidance would be issued, McCullough said it could be “fear driven,” but it’s not in his “moral DNA” to “let people die with no treatment.”

Around the world, physicians are finding success using treatments such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, but there is no regulatory support in the United States for treating COVID-19 at all, as there would be for any other disease, he said.

Pets Adopted During the Pandemic Are Being Returned in Record Numbers (VIDEO)

/3 Comments/in , /by

Pet owners who adopted during the pandemic are reportedly beginning to ditch their animals at shelters now that COVID-19 restrictions are being lifted and workers are returning to the office.

“We’re starting to see now what we think will be a longer-term trend of some of those pandemic pets, if you want to call them that, starting to be given up,” Peter Laurie, who is chief executive of Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London, told Bloomberg Quicktake.

The number of dogs and cats returned to the shelter has doubled over the last few months — and it’s only expected to get worse.

“I think that’s going to happen as people gradually returned to offices, start thinking about taking holidays as well. I think very sadly we’re going to see [people] returning their dogs and cats because a lot of people bought puppies early in the pandemic,” he told the outlet.

House Minority Leader Announces Vote To Recall Liz Cheney From Leadership

/1 Comment/in , /by

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced Monday that Republican members should prepare for a recall vote Wednesday to oust Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney of Wyoming from leadership.

“Having heard from so many of you in recent days, it’s clear that we need to make a change,” McCarthy wrote in a letter to members. “As such, you should anticipate a vote on recalling the Conference Chair this Wednesday.”

Momentum grew to remove the Wyoming lawmaker from her number three role in House leadership after she survived her first referendum three months ago, then escalated her public feud with former President Donald Trump and continued to undermine the conference.

Since maintaining her chairmanship in February — provoked in large part by her futile crusade to recruit GOP members in support of Trump’s impeachment, in which nine took part — Cheney has smeared her own party as gripped with white supremacy and sought to engineer a GOP civil war non-existent outside Washington.

Majority of Americans Oppose ‘White Privilege’ Training

/0 Comments/in , /by

A poll released Monday indicates U.S. voters overwhelmingly oppose critical race theory-related curricula in K-12 schools.

The survey, performed by the firm Competitive Edge Research and released by the educational research and advocacy group Parents Defending Education, notably found that 74 percent of respondents are “somewhat or strongly opposed” to white privilege training and to schools communicating minorities are inherently oppressed. A minute 6 percent were in favor of white privilege training.

“The results of this poll confirm that the campaign by extremists to transform our schools into political activist training camps is deeply unpopular among Republicans and Democrats alike, with only a narrow sliver of the farthest-left voters viewing ‘woke’ education favorably,” said Nicole Neily, president of Parents Defending Education. “This poll is a shot across the bow at those school districts, school boards, state legislatures, and governors who have either implemented ‘woke’ policies in schools or stood by while activists did so. Dividing our kids and communities based on skin color is abhorrent and has no place in America.” . . .

It is also notable that 75 percent of respondents opposed communicating to students that biological sex does not exist. Eighteen percent of respondents supported such ideology. (Read more from “Majority of Americans Oppose ‘White Privilege’ Training” HERE)
