China Warns Biden After Dual Aircraft Carrier Drill

/0 Comments/in , /by

China has delivered a warning to the new U.S. administration not to meddle in the sensitive South China Sea region, where President Joe Biden has ordered his first naval moves since assuming the commander-in-chief title just weeks ago.

The U.S. Navy’s Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group joined the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group on Tuesday for rare dual aircraft carrier exercises involving the massive Nimitz-class warships alongside accompanying vessels and aircraft. . .

“The United States frequently sent vessels and aircraft to the South China Sea to flex its muscles,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin told reporters. “This is not conducive to peace and stability in the region.”

“The US move is a repeat of its old trick to manipulate the cross-Strait situation in mixed ways, which has seriously violated China’s sovereignty and security, gravely undermined regional peace and stability, and deliberately disrupted the good atmosphere of peace, friendship and cooperation in the South China Sea,” Tian said in a statement published Friday by the Chinese Defense Ministry.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A video released by the Gateway Pundit allegedly shows a white van delivering dozens of boxes of ballots to be counted in Detroit’s TCF Center hours after the deadline on election night in November.

At 3:23 a.m. on Nov. 4, the blog said, a white van registered to the city of Detroit entered the center. Two minutes later, three people were seen unloading more 50 boxes of ballots “just outside the counting room.”

“The ballots were then wheeled away on carts into the ballot counting room,” the publication reported, and the van left. . .

The deliveries happened at the same time Joe Biden’s vote totals suddenly surged in the state. . .

Trump was ahead of Biden by more than 100,000 votes before the van deliveries. (Read more from “Election-Night Mystery: Video Shows Van Delivering Ballots After Deadline” HERE)

Biden Considers Mandating COVID-19 Testing Prior to Air Travel

/0 Comments/in , /by

Top officials in the Biden administration confirmed in recent days that conversations remain ongoing about requiring Americans traveling on domestic flights to confirm a negative coronavirus test before traveling. . .

The federal government has not implemented testing requirements for Americans flying domestically. Thus far, the most stringent restriction for travelers is the requirement for face coverings, a policy implemented by the airlines themselves. The Transportation Security Administration also requires face masks in secure travel areas.

However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced a new policy last month that requires international travelers, including American citizens, to show a negative COVID-19 test prior to entry into the U.S.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg confirmed in an interview with Axios that the CDC is considering implementing a testing policy for domestic flights, but played coy about the chances of such a policy becoming reality.

“Well, there’s an active conversation with the CDC right now,” Buttigieg said. (Read more from “Biden Considers Mandating COVID-19 Testing Prior to Air Travel” HERE)

Biden White House: Your Daughters’ College Prospects Don’t Matter Because ‘Trans Rights’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Jen Psaki brushed off concerns about President Joe Biden’s recent executive order mandating that any schools that receive federal funding must function as if biological males who claim to be females are the same and vice versa.

“What message would the White House have for trans girls and cis girls who may end up competing against each other and sparking some lawsuits and some concern among parents? So does the administration have guidance for schools and dealing with disputes arising over trans girls competing against and with cis girls?” a reporter asked at Tuesday’s press briefing, referencing cases in which parents were upset when biological males played in female sports. . .

“I would just say that the president’s belief is that trans rights are human rights, and that’s why he signed that executive order,” Psaki said. “And in terms of the determinations by universities and colleges, I’d certainly defer to them.” (Read more from “Biden White House: Your Daughters’ College Prospects Don’t Matter Because ‘Trans Rights’ (VIDEO)” HERE)

Poll: 56% Favor Trump Conviction

/0 Comments/in , /by

A majority of Americans want to see the Senate convict former President Donald Trump, a CBS News/YouGov survey released Tuesday found.

The survey, conducted February 5-8, asked 2,508 U.S. residents if the Senate should convict Trump for the incitement of insurrection, stemming from the riot that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 as members of Congress gathered to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election. The survey asked:

As you may know, the House of Representatives impeached Donald Trump for inciting violence against the government of the United States, and now the Senate will hold a trial. Based on what you know so far, what do you think the Senate should do in that trial?

A majority, or 56 percent, said the Senate should convict Trump, while 44 percent said lawmakers should not convict the former president.

The survey also found the same majority of voters, 56 percent, believe Trump’s words and actions leading up to the protest “encouraged violence at the Capitol.” Thirty-one percent said his words and actions had no impact, and 13 percent said Trump’s conduct “discouraged” violence.

Minnesota Shooting: Gunman Reportedly Opens Fire Inside Health Clinic

/0 Comments/in , /by

A gunman opened fire inside a Minnesota health clinic Tuesday morning, leaving at least five people critically wounded — and then at least one bomb went off inside the facility, according to authorities, officials and preliminary emergency dispatch audio.

Police responded to the Allina Health Clinic in Buffalo, about 40 miles northwest of Minneapolis, just before 11 a.m. local time, Wright County spokesman John Holler told The Post in an email.

At least five victims were injured during the shooting and the gunman was taken into custody shortly before noon, Holler said.

A male caller from the scene reported there were multiple explosive devices that went off inside the building, emergency dispatch audio reveals, with one officer on scene saying “we see evidence of that.” . . .

Multiple “improvised explosive devices” were found at the healthcare facility, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said during a briefing later in the afternoon, but was unable to provide more details. (Read more from “Minnesota Shooting: Gunman Reportedly Opens Fire Inside Health Clinic” HERE)

Lincoln Project Knew of Co-Founder Sex Allegations Months Before NYT Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senior members of the Lincoln Project were made aware of John Weaver’s interactions with vulnerable young men as early as August 2020, according to a report published Tuesday in the Washington Blade.

Weaver cut ties with the controversial super PAC in January after dozens of young men accused him of inappropriate sexual behavior. Lincoln Project executives, however, did not publicly comment on the scandal until early February, after the New York Times published a story.

Lincoln Project cofounder Steve Schmidt told the Times that the group’s leaders saw social media posts over the summer that suggested Weaver, who is married with children, might have had relationships with young men but insisted “there was no awareness or insinuations of any type of inappropriate behavior when we became aware of the chatter at the time.”

The Blade obtained electronic communications that reportedly undermine Schmidt’s claim about what the Lincoln Project’s leaders knew at the time:

These electronic messages, which date back to August 2020 and include Lincoln Project cofounder Mike Madrid, showed that leadership was made aware of allegations about Weaver from reporters who were investigating it, and had begun discussions of how to respond to any fallout.

Biden’s America: COVID Restrictions for Americans, but Not Illegal Aliens

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .COVID-19 is something to take seriously if you are in a high-risk category, but now that we have more effective treatments for those who are infected and we have vaccine distribution at an all-time high, you would think Democrats, including President Joe Biden, would be projecting more optimism into finally putting this dark age behind us. Instead, we have got nothing but doom and gloom. The White House recently stated if you are vaccinated, you still need to wear a mask and not gather in groups. The Biden administration has also taken the side of teacher unions who want to stay out of the classroom despite the science showing schools are not epicenters of COVID-19 outbreaks. . .

If you want to fly into the United States, you need to have a negative test before being allowed to enter. But the rules are different if you cross the border illegally. Under the Trump administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection had been using the Center for Disease Control’s Title 42 policy, which allowed border patrol agents to expedite deportations to avoid overcrowding their facilities so COVID-19 can’t spread among those detained. . .

Despite this known risky behavior, the Biden administration has reversed many of Trump’s immigration policies that you would think they would want to keep in place because of the pandemic. Now, in border towns such as McAllen, Texas, we’re seeing the opposite. Groups of migrants who have just crossed are being dropped off at bus stations, oftentimes without being tested for COVID-19. Where they go is up to them and it’s unlikely they’ll be seen again. At the same time, the Rio Grande Valley has been one of the worst-hit areas in Texas.

If Americans engaged in similar behavior, you could imagine how Democrats and the media would react. Except you don’t have to imagine it. Democrats and their allies in the media have been throwing temper tantrums at the sight of people in Florida not wear masks and celebrating in the streets after Sunday’s Super Bowl. And yet when it comes to the behavior of migrants, the COVID outrage is nowhere to be found. (Read more from “Biden’s America: COVID Restrictions for Americans, but Not Illegal Aliens” HERE)

Democrats Threaten to Punish Trump for Not Testifying at Impeachment Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Democrats reiterated Monday a threat to punish former President Donald Trump for not testifying at the impeachment trial in the Senate, which begins Tuesday.

In a short filing responding to Trump’s lawyer’s 75-page trial memorandum, submitted Monday, the House impeachment managers — all Democrats hand-picked by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) — wrote:

[T]he House has invited President Trump to voluntarily testify under oath, yet President Trump immediately rejected that opportunity to tell his story. The House will establish at trial that this decision to avoid testifying supports a strong adverse inference regarding President Trump’s actions (and inaction) on January 6.

The Democrats were responding to Trump’s lawyers’ claim that Democrats’ rushed impeachment, which defied all previous procedural conventions governing impeachment in the House, denied the president the constitutional due process of law.

The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that “No person … shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The impeachment trial is not a criminal case; however, many constitutional scholars argue that the same principles ought to apply — there, above all.
