/0 Comments/in , /by

The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas attacked a bus full of aid workers with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) on Wednesday, killing at least five local Palestinians who worked with the group.

Several members of the group may also have been taken hostage.

In a statement, GHF said:

Tonight, at approximately 10 p.m. Gaza time, a bus carrying more than two-dozen members of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation team, local Palestinians working side-by-side with the U.S. GHF team to deliver critical aid, were brutally attacked by Hamas. At the time of the attack, our team was en route to one of our distribution centers in the area west of Khan Younis.

We are still gathering facts, but what we know is devastating: there are at least five fatalities, multiple injuries, and fear that some of our team members may have been taken hostage. We condemn this heinous and deliberate attack in the strongest possible terms. These were aid workers. Humanitarians. Fathers, brothers, sons, and friends, who were risking their lives everyday to help others. Our hearts are broken and our thoughts and prayers are with every victim, every family, and every person still unaccounted for.

2 Former Presidents Joined Effort to Silence Him During COVID Controversy, Rogan Claims

/0 Comments/in , /by

Podcaster Joe Rogan claimed Tuesday that two unnamed former presidents were involved in the protest against his skeptical discussions about COVID-19.

Spotify received backlash in 2022 for allowing Rogan, one of its biggest stars, to spread what progressive critics claimed was COVID misinformation. Musician Neil Young famously removed his content from Spotify in protest over Rogan’s rhetoric, saying he no longer wanted to share a platform with him.

“And then all of a sudden, I hear that Neil Young wants me removed from Spotify. I was like, ‘What the f— is going on? This is crazy,’” Rogan said Tuesday.

“Spotify got calls from two former presidents,” he added.

Then-Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki commented on the controversy directly. After Spotify announced it would flag podcasts that cover COVID-19, Psaki responded, “So this disclaimer, it’s a positive step, but we want every platform to continue doing more to call out misinformation while also uplifting accurate information.” (Read more from “2 Former Presidents Joined Effort to Silence Him During COVID Controversy, Rogan Claims” HERE)

Bill Would Stop Giving Federal Handouts to Cities That Obstruct Immigration Law Enforcement

/0 Comments/in , /by

As the leftists running Los Angeles fail to get the leftists destroying Los Angeles under control, two Republican lawmakers aim to hold sanctuary governments accountable for impeding federal law enforcement officials from enforcing immigration law.

Reps. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, and Sheri Biggs, R-S.C., on Tuesday introduced the Mobilizing Against Sanctuary Cities Act, which “blocks federal financial assistance for one year to any city or state that refuses to honor ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] detainers.” The legislation also prohibits state and local governments restricting communications with the Department of Homeland Security.

“If any city refuses to comply with the laws of our nation, blatantly works against the Department of Homeland Security, and wastes billions of taxpayer dollars shielding illegal aliens at the risk of American citizens, then they should be cut off from receiving even a penny of federal funding,” Gill said in a joint press release.

A similar Republican-led bill introduced by Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina died in the last session of Congress. . .

Sanctuary cities, such as Los Angeles, bar local police from helping ICE and other federal law enforcement officials with immigration-related operations. In November, the Los Angeles City Council unanimously voted to officially designate the nation’s second-largest city a sanctuary city, “prohibiting city resources or personnel from being used to help federal enforcement of immigration laws,” NBC4 Los Angeles reported. The vote came two weeks after President Donald Trump was elected.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Several drag queens protested and booed President Donald Trump as he attended a performance of Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday.

The president’s visit marked his first since the inauguration. Video captured the moment several drag queens stood up in the audience as he appeared:

The president has always hailed Les Misérables as his favorite musical. As Consequence recently reported, half the play’s cast decided to boycott the performance due to the president’s visit.

Several cast members of Les Misérables will not be performing “One Day More” at their Kennedy Center concert next month — instead, they’ll be performing one day less in direct protest against Donald Trump’s attendance.

As reported by CNN, between 10 and 12 members of the touring cast of Les Misérables will boycott their June 11th performance at the Kennedy Center, which is set to follow a fundraiser headlined by the president. According to the report, the entire cast was given the choice to sit out, with both lead actors and ensemble members opting to do so.

Army Deletes Video of DC Parade Tanks With ‘Hang Fauci & Bill Gates’ Graffiti

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A now-deleted Army video of tanks being loaded onto a train to Washington, D.C., to appear in the massive June 14 military parade for the Army’s 250th anniversary showed a graffitied message spray-painted on the side of the train car – “Hang Fauci & Bill Gates.”

The video, posted to the Army’s X account on Saturday, has since disappeared. It showed an M1A2 Abrams – a 70-ton battle tank – rolling onto a train car at Fort Cavazos in Texas.

The death threat to Fauci and Gates – two people who have drawn the ire of President Donald Trump’s MAGA base – was painted on a train car marked DODX, property of the Defense Department.

Steve Warren, an Army spokesperson, said the Army has no plans to investigate.

“We removed the post once notified of graffiti on the train that didn’t align with Army values,” he said. “We are excited to celebrate 250 years of service to the nation next week.” (Read more from. “Army Deletes Video of DC Parade Tanks With ‘Hang Fauci & Bill Gates’ Graffiti” HERE)

NYT ‘Disinformation’ Experts Blame Online Conservatives, Not Rioters, for LA Riots

/0 Comments/in , /by

Steven Lee Myers, the aptly titled “misinformation and disinformation” writer for The New York Times, published a piece on Tuesday blaming conservatives for the anarchy in Los Angeles. He warns readers not to believe their eyes because, he claims, many social media posts about the rioting have “misleading” photos “rehashing old conspiracy theories and expressing support for President Trump’s actions.”

To bolster his point, he found a so-called expert, Darren L. Linvill, a researcher at the Clemson University Media Forensics Hub, which receives funding from the left-leaning John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

Linvill told Myers that “conservatives online were ‘building up the riots in a performative way’ to help bolster Mr. Trump’s claims that Los Angeles had been taken over by ‘violent, insurrectionist mobs.’” Linvill argued that as conservatives call attention to the rioting with social media posts, more protesters will show up, making the posts “a bit self-fulfilling.”

In Myers’ misinformation world, social media posts depicting lawless looting, flaming vehicles, and violence against law enforcement are “intended to stoke outrage toward immigrants and political leaders, principally Democrats.” (Read more from “NYT ‘Disinformation’ Experts Blame Online Conservatives, Not Rioters, for LA Riots” HERE)

New Election 2024 Report Raises ‘Serious Questions About The Health Of Michigan’s Elections’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Remember the panic accomplice media outlets created over the 2024 election, that poll workers and elections officials were under imminent threat of attack? Turns out it was another phony five alarm from leftist election integrity-denier groups parroted by their faithful allies in corporate media.

A new report on Election Day in swing state Michigan tracks the real threat to representative democracy came from aggressive leftist groups and complicit poll officials who did everything they could to stymie transparency and cast doubt on the idea of free and fair elections.

‘Fears for Her Life’

In late November 2022, the Associated Press begrudgingly reported that the “chaos” their leftist friends warned would cripple the midterm elections never materialized. Hmmm?

Among the many hair-on-fire narratives, AP helped shape the paranoia that “poll watchers who had been steeped in conspiracy theories falsely claiming that then-President Donald Trump did not actually lose the 2020 election.” And they dutifully reported on Democrats’ worries that new election integrity laws in Republican-controlled states represented “Jim Crow 2.0.”

How stunned AP and the rest of corporate media seemed when those election security measures didn’t suppress minority votes or imperil democracy. (Read more from “New Election 2024 Report Raises ‘Serious Questions About The Health Of Michigan’s Elections’” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new poll shows that a majority of Americans approve of President Trump deploying National Guard troops to quell the ongoing anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.

Surveying 1,000 likely U.S. voters on June 10, the Insider Advantage poll showed roughly 59 percent of Americans support the president sending in the National Guard versus 39 percent opposed.

A recent CNN poll also showed that immigrants have dramatically shifted to the right, with a majority trusting Republicans (a 40-point shift) to handle the ongoing immigration crisis over Democrats.

Russians No Longer See U.S. as Chief Enemy, Poll Finds. See What Nation Tops List

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The perception of the United States within Russia has undergone something of a sea change over the past year, suggesting that resentments dating to the Cold War may be beginning to thaw, according to new polling.

The share of Russians who view the U.S. as a hostile nation has dropped dramatically since 2024, and now — for the first time in decades — more Russians label other countries as adversarial, a new survey from the Levada Center found.

Further, feelings toward the U.S. have improved substantially, according to the poll, which comes as President Donald Trump attempts to broker a peace deal to end the Ukraine-Russia war.

With that said, not all of the findings were so rosy. Most Russians continue to express pessimism about relations between the west and Russia, which they think will always be founded on mistrust. . .

In the survey, less than half of respondents, 40%, named the U.S. as hostile toward Russia. This is down 36 points from 76% in May 2024, marking a massive shift in opinion in just one year. (Read more from “Russians No Longer See U.S. as Chief Enemy, Poll Finds. See What Nation Tops List” HERE)

Trump Issues Stern Warning to Radicals Planning Nationwide June 14 Protests

/0 Comments/in , /by

As President Donald Trump prepares to lead a patriotic parade on June 14—Flag Day and his 79th birthday—left-wing activists are already organizing counterprotests. While Trump supporters plan to celebrate the flag, the country, and a renewed sense of national unity, progressives are mobilizing to disrupt the event with demonstrations rooted in anti-American sentiment. From burning flags to shouting down veterans, the counterprotests will reflect a growing radicalism on the Left that sees patriotism as a threat.

According to reports, large-scale protests are being organized nationwide to counter President Trump’s upcoming military parade. Organizers are calling it the largest single-day anti-Trump demonstration since the start of his political career. . .

However, Trump warned those who plan to participate in the counterprotests, saying, “You will be met with heavy force.”

“This is people who hate our country, but they will be met with very heavy force,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday. (Read more from “Trump Issues Stern Warning to Radicals Planning Nationwide June 14 Protests” HERE)
