‘Dumbest F**king Thing’: Democrats Are Absolutely Furious at Lawmaker Trying to Impeach Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar brought seven articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the House floor Tuesday night, forcing the House to vote on them by Thursday and placing him in a precarious position among other Democrats.

Thanedar’s articles of impeachment, which he announced on April 28, have reportedly been met with rebuke from several of his fellow Democrats, with House Minority Whip Katherine Clark saying party leadership plans to block the measures. Meanwhile, Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who represents a neighboring district, sharply criticized Thanedar’s legislative record, without appearing to mention the articles, and endorsed his far-left primary opponent Democratic Michigan State Rep. Donavan McKinney.

While on the floor, Thanedar noticed his impeachment files as privileged, forcing the House into a Thursday deadline to vote on them. However, it is likely lawmakers from both parties will back a motion to table the impeachment articles, effectively killing Thanedar’s effort.

Clark, the No. 2 Democrat in the House, said in a Democratic Caucus meeting that the party’s leadership in the lower chamber plans to table the backbench Michigan lawmaker’s articles on Wednesday afternoon, NOTUS reported citing two people familiar with her comments.

Democratic New York Rep. Jerry Nadler, who notably served as a manager during Trump’s 2019 impeachment, called Thanedar’s measures “idiotic” and “horrible” during the same meeting, according to an anonymous source quoted by NOTUS.

Weight-Loss Drugs’ Impact on Cancer Risk Revealed in New Study

/0 Comments/in , /by

Weight-loss medications and bariatric surgery have both been found effective at helping people shed excess pounds — and now a new study explores their link to obesity-related cancer (ORC) risk.

Obesity is a known risk factor for certain types of cancers, and has also been shown to impact cancer survival.

Obesity-related cancers include multiple myeloma, meningioma, adenocarcinoma of esophagus; stomach, colorectal, liver or bile duct, gallbladder, pancreas, uterus, ovary, renal-cell kidney, thyroid, and postmenopausal breast cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Researchers at Clalit Health Services in Tel Aviv, Israel, conducted an observational study of the medical records of 6,356 participants aged 24 and older who had obesity and diabetes, with no history of obesity-related cancer.

Between 2010 and 2018, half of the participants took GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) — injectable medications for obesity and type 2 diabetes — with at least six drug purchases within 12 months. The other half underwent bariatric metabolic surgery (BMS). (Read more from “Weight-Loss Drugs’ Impact on Cancer Risk Revealed in New Study” HERE)

House GOP Calling for Action Against Dems Accused of ‘Storming’ ICE Facility

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans are warning that consequences are in store for three Democratic colleagues the Trump administration accused of “storming” a detention facility in defense of illegal immigrants last week.

“Look, there’s three possible disciplinary actions in Congress that the House can take,” Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters at his weekly press conference Wednesday.

He noted the House could censure, a symbolic rebuke with no further repercussions that requires a simple majority vote – a move Johnson said “probably does seem appropriate here.”

Johnson noted the Republican majority could also boot them off their committees, or even expel those lawmakers – though he noted that required a significantly higher threshold.

“Now, expulsion requires a two-thirds vote. That’s not likely with margins that are this small. But, you know, we’re looking at what is appropriate,” he said. (Read more from “House GOP Calling for Action Against Dems Accused of ‘Storming’ ICE Facility” HERE)

Document Trove: Pornhub Allowed Illegal Child Abuse Videos Even After They Were Flagged

/0 Comments/in , /by

When Republican lawmakers across the country rolled out plans to crack down on on-screen sex companies for failing to verify the age of their users, the porn lobby, Democrats, and their allies in corporate media threw a fit. They defended the on-screen “sex work” as consensual and constitutionally protected. In reality, mass abuse, exploitation, and sex trafficking of children is routinely uploaded and searched on porn websites — sometimes without objection or hasty removal.

A 51-page document trove recently uncovered due to a “filing error” shows Pornhub allowed child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to stay on its website for years at a time despite its clear violation of federal law.

The previously sealed memorandum from December 2024 includes dozens of internal records and conversations showing Pornhub employees knew of content documenting the rape and trafficking of minors on their platform but failed to curb it.

A New York Times’ exposé determined the documents “show why we shouldn’t trust porn companies.” The evidence, however, increasingly indicates that Pornhub and a significant number of its patrons are complicit in sex crimes against children.

In several instances spanning from 2015 to 2020, Pornhub received reports from users flagging certain videos as involving someone underage but failed to remove the criminal acts from its website. One particular video, despite getting flagged to Pornhub content reviewers 13 times since it was uploaded in 2015, racked up 1.7 million views before it was taken down in 2019.

Surprise! Media Claims Of 15,000 ‘Trans’ Troops In The Military Are Total Bunk

/6 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. In the weeks surrounding President Trump’s inauguration, America’s propaganda press relentlessly cited leftist claims that 15,000 trans-identifying individuals would be booted from the military under the new commander-in-chief. The insinuation, of course, was that such a move would harm “military readiness” and the country’s national security.

But as it turns out, there is still no evidence the 15,000 figure parroted by so-called “journalists” is even remotely viable.

Following a victory at the U.S. Supreme Court, the Pentagon announced last week that it has resumed the process of removing individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria from the service. The agency disclosed in a press release that approximately 1,000 service members “who have self-identified as being diagnosed with gender dysphoria will begin the voluntary separation process.”

This revelation prompted The Federalist to probe the Defense Department and branches of the armed services to determine how many trans-identifying troops are currently serving in the military and how many have begun the voluntary separation process in accordance with Pentagon guidelines.

In a statement to The Federalist, a Defense Department official said that, as of February, there are “approximately 4,200 Active-duty, Guard and Reserve service members currently serving diagnosed with gender dysphoria” throughout the armed forces. The total is roughly the same that was announced by the agency in February. (Read more from “Surprise! Media Claims Of 15,000 ‘Trans’ Troops In The Military Are Total Bunk” HERE)

Pentagon halting “gender-affirming” health care for transgender troops, memo says

By NBC News. The Pentagon is halting gender-affirming health care for transgender troops as it moves to implement President Donald Trump’s plan to kick them out of the U.S. military, according to a memo seen by Reuters on Monday.

The instructions from the Defense Department barred any new hormone treatments as well as any surgical procedures for transgender troops, the memo said.

“I am directing you to take the necessary steps to immediately implement this guidance,” Stephen Ferrara, the acting assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, said in the memo. . .

The U.S. Supreme Court on May 6 permitted Trump’s administration to implement his ban on transgender people in the military, allowing the armed forces to discharge the thousands of current transgender troops and reject new recruits while legal challenges play out.

This New Tax Could Stop Illegal Immigration And Keep Money From Cartels

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Each year, migrants send tens of billions of dollars out of the United States — often landing in cartel coffers.

That may be good for migrants and drug lords, but it’s bad for the American economy. That’s why Congress is considering a new tax on money flowing out of the country. Advocates say the tax would penalize illegal immigration, impose new costs on criminal networks, and increase government revenue, all without impacting Americans’ wallets.

Remittance outflows from the United States — when migrants send money back to their countries of origin — have steadily increased in recent years. Data from the Migration Policy Institute reveal that just over $66 billion was sent out of the American economy in 2020. That number climbed to $73.7 billion in 2021 and $81.6 billion in 2022. By 2023, remittance outflows hit nearly $86 billion.

Now, a five percent remittance tax, which is included in President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” could penalize illegal immigration, punish cartels, and create a new revenue stream for the American government.

Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) Media Director Ira Mehlman told The Daily Wire that a tax on remittances would recoup some of the money that is, in effect, exported out of the American economy.

Trump Shares Plan for a Revamped Middle East

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump hailed progress toward peace across the Middle East in an address in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, urging the region to pursue economic development rather than Iran’s “self-destructive” path.

Trump made the comments during a speech in Riyadh shortly after meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Trump vowed to continue America’s strong partnership with the Saudi government and also condemned Western “interventionalist” policies that have brought disaster in the Middle East.

“If the responsible nations of this region seize this moment, put aside your differences and focus on the interests that unite you, then all humanity will soon be amazed at what we will see here in the geographic center of the world, and the spiritual heart of its greatest faiths,” Trump said.

“Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts and tired divisions of the past, and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos; where it exports technology, not terrorism; and where people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together, not bombing each other,” he added.

“It is crucial for the wider world to note, this great transformation has not come from Western interventionalists flying in with lectures on how to live or how to govern your own affairs. The gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called nation-builders, neo-cons, or liberal non-profits like those who spent trillions failing to develop Kabul and Baghdad,” he continued.

Qatar’s Offer of Gift of Presidential Jet to Trump Encounters Turbulence in Senate

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Tuesday promised Senate “scrutiny” of the proposed gift from the government of Qatar of a Boeing 747-8 valued at $400 million to be used as an Air Force One by President Donald Trump for the remainder of his term.

“I don’t think there’s anything official out there. This is a hypothetical, and I’m sure that if and when there is, it’s no longer hypothetical,” Thune, R-S.D., said at a press gaggle that included The Daily Signal.

“I can assure you there will be plenty of scrutiny of whatever that arrangement might look like,” the Senate Republican leader added.

“There are lots of issues around that I think will attract very serious questions if and when it happens,” Thune said.

On Sunday, the president confirmed reports that he had accepted the offer of a $400 million aircraft from the Qatari government. Boeing is currently under contract to deliver a new Air Force One, but the project has been delayed. The president characterized the Qatari gift as a result of good will between the two nations.

Biden Didn’t Recognize This Megastar — and Huge Supporter — in Shocking Memory Lapse That Left Celeb ‘Shaken to His Core’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A rapidly aging Joe Biden couldn’t even recognize George Clooney at a Democratic fundraiser in Los Angeles during the 2024 campaign — leaving the Hollywood star “shaken to his core,” a bombshell new book claims.

The troubling incident, which unfolded at a June 13, 2024, star-studded fundraiser co-hosted by Clooney, was laid bare in the forthcoming book “Original Sin” by Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper, which chronicles the attempt to cover up Biden’s decline while in office.

“It was obvious to many standing there that the president did not know who George Clooney was,” the authors wrote, according to an excerpt obtained by The Post.

“Clooney was shaken to his core. The president hadn’t recognized him. A man he had known for years.”

The book detailed how a “severely diminished” Biden, then 81 years old, had hobbled into the event with an aide guiding him by the arm — with the president repeatedly thanking guests as he walked by.

Pentagon Announces Immediate Suspension of Gender Transition Procedures for Transgender Service Members

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon is reportedly barring gender transition treatments for so-called “transgender troops,” the news coming after former President Joe Biden (D) allowed such procedures.

According to Reuters, a memo from Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Stephen Ferrara said, “I am directing you to take the necessary steps to immediately implement this guidance,” the outlet reported Monday.

Defense Department officials are apparently halting new hormone treatments and surgical procedures for those individuals.

The outlet also noted that “Trump signed an executive order in January, after returning to the presidency, that reversed a policy implemented under his predecessor Joe Biden that had allowed transgender troops to serve openly.”

In February, the U.S. Army said it would no longer allow transgender individuals to join the military and would not perform gender transition procedures, per Breitbart News.
