Trump Rails Against ‘Mortal Threat’ of Communism During America 250 Mount Rushmore Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump warned Friday that communism poses a “mortal threat” to the country during a speech at Mount Rushmore on the eve of America’s 250th birthday.

“As we approach this magnificent anniversary, we see our American identity under a renewed attack,” Trump said in his remarks in South Dakota.

“A generation after we fought and won the Cold War against the menace of communism, there is now a resurgence of the communist menace in our land, including from newcomers to our country who embrace ideas totally opposed to our way of life and our great success,” the president continued.

“These are not mere political disagreements, like differences over taxes or regulations. Communism is a mortal threat to American liberty. It is the greatest threat to our country,” Trump declared.

The president described the political and economic ideology as “the exact opposite of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

“It’s death, tyranny and the pursuit of evil,” he said. (Read more from “Trump Rails Against ‘Mortal Threat’ of Communism During America 250 Mount Rushmore Speech” HERE)

‘Ingrates’: Hegseth Fires Back at Leftists Shouting at National Guard

/0 Comments/in , , /by

U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth dismissed criticism of the National Guard during remarks on Thursday, calling protesters “ingrates” and praising Guard members for helping reduce crime in Washington, DC.

During a “D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force” ceremony at Meridian Hill Park in Washington, DC, Hegseth defended the National Guard’s mission, saying it was about restoring law and order rather than politics.

“You do your job no matter what,” Hegseth said. “It’s the sound of ingrates, of ingratitude, of people who are so blinded by ideology they can’t see law and order and common sense in front of them.”

Hegseth argued there was “nothing political” about the Guard’s mission, saying law and order is something “all Americans deserve,” regardless of race, income, or where they live. He told the troops that although many of them were not from Washington, DC, the nation’s capital belongs to all Americans and should be safe as the country marks its 250th anniversary.

Hegseth also praised the Guard for continuing its work despite difficult conditions, saying members would keep doing their jobs long after critics had moved on. (Read more from “‘Ingrates’: Hegseth Fires Back at Leftists Shouting at National Guard” HERE)

Tucker Carlson Brands Trump ‘Enslaved’ and Floats Idea that Could Tear Apart MAGA for Good

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson labeled President Donald Trump as ‘enslaved’ in an interview published Wednesday and said that America needed a third political party.

Carlson was asked by the Columbia Journalism Review if he had talked to Trump since the start of the Iran war, which Carlson staunchly opposes.

‘I’m not interested in talking to him. I feel sorry for him,’ Carlson said.

‘He’s not a man in charge of his own life at this point. I feel sorry for anybody who’s enslaved, including him.’

Carlson was apparently alluding to Trump’s decision to start a war with Iran, suggesting outsized Israeli influence on the President.

Carlson has consistently insisted that Israel was the driving force behind US attacks on Iran, saying as early as March 2 that ‘this is Israel’s war. This is not the United States’s war.’ (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Brands Trump ‘Enslaved’ and Floats Idea that Could Tear Apart MAGA for Good” HERE)

Shocking Video Shows Army Veteran Being Fatally Shot in Fight Over Walmart Parking Spot

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Shocking video shows the moment an Army veteran was gunned down, seemingly in a petty argument over a parking spot in a Florida Walmart.

The horrific cellphone footage begins with the 62-year-old victim, Bart Diguglielmo, seemingly exchanging angry words with an unidentified woman in the parking lot of the North Lauderdale store around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to Local 10 News.

Diguglielmo slowly walks toward the woman as she backs away, with a vehicle pulling out from where they were arguing.

Suddenly, the woman pulled out a gun and shot Diguglielmo while he was still several feet away from her, with the footage showing him clutching his stomach before falling to the ground.

Diguglielmo, a New Jersey native, initially sits on the ground before he lies down and bleeds out, according to officials.

Following the shooting, the woman is seen placing the gun on top of a car while waiting for law enforcement to arrive — with witnesses reporting her screaming and crying. (Read more from “Shocking Video Shows Army Veteran Being Fatally Shot in Fight Over Walmart Parking Spot” HERE)

‘We’re Really Circling Back to This?’ U.S. City That Responded to AIDS Catastrophe by Banning Gay Bathhouses is Now Bringing Them Back

/0 Comments/in , /by

It was some 40 years ago that the AIDS catastrophe struck America, mostly in the homosexual community.

The Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome proved a lethal threat, and the response included a decision by the city of Minneapolis to ban gay bathhouses, the scenes of rampant sexual activity.

Now the city is bringing them back.

The Minneapolis City Council recently approved repealing a ban on adult bathhouses, with nine members of a 13-person council endorsing that action.

When the new locations open, “consenting adults can legally engage in sexual activity” there, according to reports. The plan also provides exemptions to existing “indecent conduct laws” so that that activity can happen.

The ban, back in the day, even had the support of Councilman Brian Coyle, the first-known gay Minneapolis city councilor who later died of AIDS-related illnesses.

FBI Assigns 260 Staff Members to Georgia 2020 Election Probe

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI has ramped up its investigation into the 2020 election in Georgia by dedicating more personnel to what an internal memo refers to as a “priority,” a person familiar with the matter told CNN, ramping up an inquiry into the election that President Donald Trump falsely said was rigged.

The memo, which was seen by CNN, calls for the FBI to quickly bring in an additional 260 FBI intelligence officials, on top of those agents already working in the Atlanta area.

Some of the intelligence personnel — which includes people who are skilled at analyzing data — will work on the investigation remotely, a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told CNN. . .

Kurt Olsen, a 2020 election denier who had been tapped by the White House to investigate that election, made the referral in January that reinvigorated a recent criminal probe. (Read more from “FBI Assigns 260 Staff Members to Georgia 2020 Election Probe” HERE)

Transgender Democrat Activist Urges Followers To ‘Kill Your Local Republican’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Wisconsin transgender activist has released a run of videos telling people to “kill your local Republican” and vowing a “trans jihad” against MAGA.

Conservative commentator Dustin Grage posted the footage to X on July 1. In one clip, Teha Delaruelle speaks against a background displaying the words “Kill Your Local Republican,” then points to the message. “We’re going to make this the moderate position for the state of Wisconsin,” Delaruelle says, giving followers a one-month window to act.

Another video shows Delaruelle describing a plan to make conservatives live in fear. “We are doing trans jihad,” Delaruelle says, directing the threat at “the oppressor, the bigots, the animals that make up MAGA.” The activist says the goal is a permanent state of dread. “No, this is their new reality,” Delaruelle says.

Grage posted an additional video of Delaruelle featuring the slogans “Smash MAGA” and “Left Wing Death Squads.”

Delaruelle works as a volunteer staffer for Democratic congressional candidate Katrina DeVille and has spent years with the Outagamie County Democrats, according to The Heartland Post. That staffing claim remains unverified, and the DeVille campaign has not addressed it. (Read more from “Transgender Democrat Activist Urges Followers To ‘Kill Your Local Republican’” HERE)

Israel Reportedly Attempted To Shoot Down Iran’s Negotiators

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Caller. Israel attempted to kill Iran’s negotiators on their plane after talks between the U.S. and Iran concluded in Pakistan, The New York Times reported.

The attempt occurred in the air as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf were flying home to Tehran from talks in Pakistan, the outlet reported, citing anonymous U.S. officials. As the officials were en route flying home, Iran’s security forces notified the plane that two Israeli fighter jets had entered Iranian airspace with the intention of attacking it.

However, the plane was not shot down as it made an emergency landing in Mashhad, Iran’s closest airport to Pakistan, according to the Times. The diplomatic jet also had an escort from Pakistani fighter jets.

The Iranian diplomatic jet was carrying more than 70 other Iranian officials during the flight, the outlet reported.

The White House, the State Department and the Israeli Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Israel had Araghchi and Ghalibaf on a list of targets to kill, but temporarily removed them from the list as the U.S. was conducting negotiations, The Wall Street Journal reported on March 25. Although it appears that removal did not last long, as the reported assassination attempt happened just a few months later.

US officials feared Israel was plotting to kill head Iranian negotiators: report

By New York Post. The US believed Israel was plotting to kill Iran’s head negotiators in the middle of the peace talks, with America going as far as to warn Tehran through third party countries of the risks, officials said.

Fears that Israel could derail the fledgling peace talks spiked in April as America believed the Jewish state had their eyes on Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, The New York Times reported.

The two leaders would go on to approve the current peace deal with the US. If they were killed, it would have likely prolonged the conflict as previous assassinations by Israel have.

Araghchi and Ghalibaf were known to have been on a so-called “kill list” back in March, which was composed of top regime officials who Israel sought to remove.

The two leaders, however, were removed from the list following intervention from the US as the negotiations began to take form, Reuters reported. (Read more from “US officials feared Israel was plotting to kill head Iranian negotiators: report” HERE)

Grand Jury Indicts Former Olympian For Allegedly Tampering With Reflecting Pool

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Washington, D.C. Superior Court grand jury has indicted former Olympian David Hearn on a second-degree felony charge of “Destruction of property $1,000 or more.”

Hearn “ripped a piece of recently installed sealant,” Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, said in a press conference Thursday announcing the indictment. “[Hearn] willfully destroyed property at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.”

Pirro stated that National Park Service (NPS) employees who were on scene claim to have observed Hearn reaching and pulling up the liner with both hands. Pirro alleges that Hearn caused damage to at least two square feet of the Reflecting Pool, citing the multi-million-dollar cost of the recent renovations to the pool to explain the charge being filed for damages of $1,000 or more.

Pirro also stated that NPS employees allege that Hearn was told not to reach into the pool, and allegedly shouted back, “It’s not your pool,” and “Why do you care so much?”

Hearn, a three-time Olympic canoeist, was first arrested on June 19 in front of the Lincoln Memorial and was charged with the “misdemeanor offense of destruction of government property,” Mediate reported.
