/0 Comments/in , /by

More than 30 activists were arrested during climate change demonstrations across the District of Columbia on Monday, and while they did gain some attention, it might not have been the kind they were looking for. . .

WTTG-TV reported that 32 people were picked up by police with arrests happening throughout the day, as protestors shut down several roads and highways dancing in the street and carrying signs protesting capitalism while demanding action on the “climate emergency.”

One activist raised eyebrows across the Twittersphere, as footage of him dancing while confetti was being thrown liberally caused critics on both sides of the political aisle to point out the irony of littering at an environmental demonstration.

FBI Arrests U.S. Soldier for Allegedly Planning to Be a Domestic Terrorist

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .According to NBC News, when an undercover FBI agent suggested to 24-year-old Pfc. Jarrett William Smith that he wanted to bomb a “liberal Texas mayor,” Smith quipped back “Outside of Beto?” He did not try to discourage the agent from targeting a mayor, but instead said that he didn’t “know enough people that would be relevant enough to cause a change if they died.” . . .

The BBC reported that Smith also wanted to go to Ukraine and join a far-right paramilitary group, or kill members of Antifa. He also talked about carrying out attacks in the United States and was telling multiple people online how to build bombs.

“Oh yeah, I got knowledge of IEDs for days,” Smith reportedly said in a Facebook chat according to NBC News. “We can make cell phone IEDs in the style of the Afghans. I can teach you that.” This chat was allegedly with Craig Lang, an American who had joined a nationalist paramilitary group in Ukraine. . .

“There have been cases where Middle Eastern insurgents built these bombs only for them to detonate prematurely because telemarketers or people with wrong numbers who unwittingly called the devices,” he warned, according to the BBC.

Watch: Toddler Miraculously Survives After Her Father Jumps in Front of Train With Her

/0 Comments/in , /by

Commuters at a subway station in the Bronx Monday morning watched in horror as a man holding his 5-year-old daughter leapt in front of an oncoming subway train in an apparent suicide attempt. In a remarkable moment caught on video, two of the witnesses who had leapt down from the platform onto the tracks after the train came to a stop found that the little girl had miraculously survived.

“Dramatic video shows a little girl crawling out from underneath a subway train in the Bronx while commuters looked on in fear,” ABC 7 New York reported Monday along with cell phone footage of the rescue of the girl. “Her father jumped in front of the train while he held her in his arms. He did not survive, but she is going to be OK.”

The apparently suicidal man, 45, was wearing a backpack and holding his 5-year-old daughter in his arms when he jumped in front of the oncoming southbound No. 4 train at the elevated Kingsbridge Road station in the Kingsbridge Height section at around 8 a.m. Monday morning.

The action, witnesses say, appears to have been deliberate. While the man tragically died, the little girl sustained only minor injuries.

As the cell phone footage of her rescue shows, two citizen rescuers got down onto the tracks and worked to extricate the girl from underneath the train. When the rescuers pick her up and place her on the platform above, she is able to stand up and appears to be able to communicate with the stunned witnesses on the platform, who quickly encircle her, some raising their hands in relief.

WATCH: Biden Asked to Make His Case for President – Here’s His Ridiculous Response

/0 Comments/in , /by

Speaking in Iowa, former Vice President Joe Biden was confronted by a reporter who wanted to know why Iowans, with their current low unemployment rate, should shift from voting strongly for President Trump in 2016 to voting for Biden in 2020. When she asked Biden to make his case for why he should be elected, he answered, “I’m not going to.” . . .

It would definitely be difficult for Biden to make his case to Iowans; not only is the current unemployment rate in Iowa 2.5% as opposed to 3.9% across the nation, but there are other signs the economy of the state is flourishing. RadioIowa reported on Monday that the Iowa Economic Development Authority approved incentives for three businesses that have promised to create 150 new jobs. Cargill was awarded tax benefits for a $125 million expansion of its Eddyville plant and is expected to create 17 new jobs paying upward of $17 an hour; Hormel won tax benefits as it plans to move jobs from Nebraska to Dubuque, creating 58 new jobs paying over $23 an hour; Upper Iowa Beef won tax benefits allowing the company to create 75 additional jobs at roughly $22 an hour.

Text Messages Reveal NYT Reporter TOLD Kavanaugh Source What to Say

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Senate Judiciary Committee report revealed that New York Times reporter Robin Pogrebin coached sources on what to say and how to respond to her questions based on information she obtained, The Federalist reported. Her motive was to shape a false narrative against now-sitting Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and allegations of sexual misconduct. Pogrebin is one of the co-authors of the anti-Kavanaugh book whose chapter was featured in the New York Times last week.

The newspaper was forced to issue a correction for failing to include exculpatory evidence about the accuser. Earlier this week, Pogrebin said Kavanaugh wanted her to lie about what took place. . .

From The Federalist (emphasis mine):

Pogrebin made a bizarre and unsupported claim this week that Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh had told her to lie. It turned out Pogrebin had mischaracterized discussions with the Supreme Court’s public information officer, not Kavanaugh, who had merely explained the terms of an off-the-record interview that was being sought and never obtained. Despite the many errors and false claims Pogrebin and her co-author Kate Kelly made, corporate media picked up on this false statement as if it were true.

A 2018 text exchange between Karen Yarasavage and Kerry Berchem shows them discussing Deborah Ramirez’s claim against Kavanaugh. Yarasavage was extremely close to Ramirez — having asked Ramirez to be a godmother to one of her children — and knew Kavanaugh well, too. Berchem was younger and not at Yale when the alleged incident was said to have taken place. While in reality, the text exchanges show Berchem trying to get Yarasavage to say something supportive of Ramirez’s claim, even though Yarasavage said she’d never even heard of any such incident and felt confident she would have if it had happened, the media characterized the discussions as evidence of Kavanaugh’s guilt.

U.S. Navy Confirms: UFO Footage Is Real, and Were Never Meant to Be Seen by the Public (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A U.S. Navy spokesman confirmed in a statement to the website, The Black Vault, that videos of unidentified flying objects captured over the years and recently published in the media are authentic.

The videos were published in 2017 and 2018 by the New York Times, and show unusual flying crafts moving at high speeds thousands of feet in the air despite not having any apparent wings or visible engines, and not giving off any signs of propulsion like a traditional aircraft might.

In the videos, the pilots are heard confusedly speculating on what the aircrafts might be and expressing shock at how they move. Despite the earliest of these sightings in restricted military airspace having occurred in 2004, the objects still have not been identified. . .

“The Navy designates the objects contained in these videos as unidentified aerial phenomena,” said Joseph Gradisher, official spokesman for the deputy chief of naval operations for information warfare. “The ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena’ terminology is used because it provides the basic descriptor for the sightings/observations of unauthorized/unidentified aircraft/objects that have been observed entering/operating in the airspace of various military-controlled training ranges.”

Both the Pentagon and the Navy have confirmed that the videos were never cleared for public release. (Read more from “U.S. Navy Confirms: UFO Footage Is Real, and Were Never Meant to Be Seen by the Public” HERE)

AOC: House Democrats’ Refusal to Impeach Is a Bigger Scandal Than Trump’s’ ‘Lawbreaking Behavior’

/0 Comments/in , /by

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested Saturday that House Democrats’ unwillingness to oust President Donald Trump is more scandalous than anything the president has done up to this point in his presidency.

Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive Democrats in the House have been poking and prodding the moderate members of their party to move more quickly on impeachment proceedings. She became more insistent Saturday night, telling her fellow Democrats to take impeachment more seriously.

“At this point, the bigger national scandal isn’t the president’s lawbreaking behavior — it is the Democratic Party’s refusal to impeach him for it,” she said in a tweet to her followers. Some of Ocasio-Cortez’s fellow Democrats dinged her on Twitter for making what they believe to be a false equivalence.

“It is one thing for a sitting president to break the law. It’s another to let him. The integrity of our democracy isn’t threatened when a president breaks the law. It‘s threatened when we do nothing about it,” she said in a follow-up tweet responding to the criticism.

House Democrats are trying their level-best to move forward on impeachment charges, but they have not gained much headway. (Read more from “AOC: House Democrats’ Refusal to Impeach Is a Bigger Scandal Than Trump’s’ ‘Lawbreaking Behavior’” HERE)

Protesters at the Climate Strike in Washington, D.C., came out to demonstrate against climate change they say is melting the ice caps, and a guest straight from the arctic — or, maybe the Bronx? — showed up to see if he could find any support.
