JD Vance Tangles With British PM Starmer Over ‘Infringements on Free Speech’ in Contentious Oval Office Meeting (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The “special relationship” between the US and the UK got awkward Thursday, when Vice President JD Vance confronted British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the Oval Office over the longtime American ally’s weakening of freedom of speech.

Earlier this month, at the Munich Security Conference, Vance had riled European opinion by decrying what he called “the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values—values shared with the United States of America.”

Vance stood by his comments Thursday when pressed by a reporter, saying: “I said what I said, which is that we do have, of course, a special relationship with our friends in the UK and also with some of our European allies.

“But we also know that there have been infringements on free speech that actually affect not just the British, of course, what the British do in their own country is up to them,” the 40-year-old added, “but also affect American technology companies and, by extension, American citizens. So that is something that we’ll talk about today at lunch.” . . .

In Munich, Vance had rattled off examples of criminal convictions in Europe for what would be protected First Amendment activity in America, including the case of 51-year-old British Army veteran and physiotherapist Adam Smith-Connor, who was ordered to pay £9,000 ($11,346) for violating a buffer zone while praying outside of an abortion clinic.

Trump Hits Socialist Dictator With Consequences for Not Holding His End of the Bargain

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump says he is reversing a Biden-era grant allowing Chevron to operate within Venezuela on Wednesday.

Trump detailed the decision in a lengthy post on Truth Social, stating that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro had not upheld his end of the bargain.

“We are hereby reversing the concessions that Crooked Joe Biden gave to Nicolás Maduro, of Venezuela, on the oil transaction agreement, dated November 26, 2022, and also having to do with Electoral conditions within Venezuela, which have not been met by the Maduro regime,” Trump wrote.

“Additionally, the regime has not been transporting the violent criminals that they sent into our Country (the Good Ole’ U.S.A.) back to Venezuela at the rapid pace that they had agreed to,” he added.

“I am therefore ordering that the ineffective and unmet Biden “Concession Agreement” be terminated as of the March 1st option to renew. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump continued.

Even After LA Mayor Terminated Top Fire Lesbian, City Still Places DEI Above Competence

/2 Comments/in , /by

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass fired Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley — one of the city’s “top fire lesbians” who pushed DEI across the department — Feb. 21, citing “public safety” and blaming her for the disastrous response to the massive Palisades and Eaton fires that consumed parts of the city last month.

But the city’s priorities are still misplaced, according to documents a whistleblower provided to The Federalist. LAFD EMTs are required to take training to meet the requirements for renewing certification, some of which still advances radical gender ideology. And Crowley is still with the department, just in a lower rank. So perhaps Bass’ lip service to “public safety” is less about accountability for the deadly fires, and more about escaping it. . .

A member of the LAFD provided screenshots from the internal training to The Federalist, but chose to remain unnamed to avoid retribution. The training — “EMS Patients With Special Challenges” — counts for one hour of credit toward the total certification renewal requirement that EMTs must meet every two years. It instructs EMTs on how to deal with “transgender patients.”

The training discusses “medical advances” in the “gender reassignment process,” including “puberty suppression,” “hormone therapy,” and “medically indicated surgery.” It also instructs EMTs on transgender “accommodations”: they must “ask the patient what they prefer to be called,” “try to use inclusive terms, such as ‘they,’” and “try to avoid gender-specific pronouns” like he or she, or titles like sir or ma’am.

The training also made EMTs guess which statement was true about treating transgenders: “transgender patients always behave erratically,” “transgender patients usually abuse alcohol or drugs,” “transgender patients are prone to the same physical conditions as any other patient,” or “you should ask your partner to care for the patient if you disagree with their lifestyle.” (Read more from “Even After LA Mayor Terminated Top Fire Lesbian, City Still Places DEI Above Competence” HERE)

New Jeffrey Epstein Contact List Includes Alec Baldwin, Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger and RFK Jr.’s Mom

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Justice Department on Thursday evening released a long-awaited trove of documents related to notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, including his contact list, flight logs and a list of evidence the government amassed against him.

But the roughly 200-page document dump provided no big revelations, instead listing celebrities and politicians who were already known to have palled around with the notorious pedophile.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has since claimed a witness told her that the FBI Field Office in New York has demanded the bureau fork over that material so that she can disclose it to the public.

Among the famous names in Epstein’s contact list released by the Department of Justice Thursday: Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, actor Alec Baldwin, Ethel Kennedy — the mother of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, supermodel Naomi Campbell and rocker Courtney Love.

Others include: Bob Weinstein, the brother of Harvey Weinstein; David Koch; late Sen. Ted Kennedy; actor Ralph Fiennes; Kerry Kennedy; lawyer Alan Dershowitz; John Kerry; actor Dustin Hoffman; businessman Jon Huntsman; Ivana Trump, Ivanka Trump; and model Liz Hurley. The president’s name was not in the contact list. (Read more from “New Jeffrey Epstein Contact List Includes Alec Baldwin, Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger and RFK Jr.’s Mom” HERE)

Trump Adviser Expects Prosecutions Will Come Because of Epstein Files

“Phase One” of the Epstein files are being released today but America still apparently won’t have much of the story of the convicted sex offender whose friends included Bill Clinton and Bill Gates, among many others.

That’s because Attorney General Pam Bondi, who released that “Phase One” to reporters on today, confirmed to FBI chief Kash Patel that minions in that agency still are withholding documents from her.

The ongoing process to unveil the evil that was behind Epstein and his circle of friends and their behavior toward young girls that Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of trafficking, however, has convinced an adviser to President Trump that more prosecutions are coming.

Habba, an adviser to President Trump, was asked if there would be criminal cases coming.

“Absolutely. I think it would be negligent for us not to. You have to hold individuals who are indeed rapists accountable. We have to have them tried, in my opinion.” (Read more from “Trump Adviser Expects Prosecutions Will Come Because of Epstein Files” HERE)

/13 Comments/in , /by

More than half of Democrats are anti-Israel, according to a shocking new poll.

Only 33% of Dems surveyed by Gallup said they had a favorable view of Israel, while a whopping 60% said they viewed the Jewish State unfavorably and 4% had no opinion.

It’s the first time ever that a Gallup survey showed a majority of members of a main US political party had a negative opinion of the Jewish state, with the question being asked since 1989.

By comparison, 83% of Republicans said they had a favorable view of Israel, and just 13% unfavorable, with 4% not offering an opinion, the poll found.

“This year marks the first time any party group has had majority-level unfavorable ratings of Israel, with 60% of Democrats expressing that view,” Gallup said.

Overall, 54% of Americans surveyed had a favorable view of Israel and 41% unfavorable, the lowest rating since 2000. (Read more from “Shocking Gallup Survey Finds 60% of Dems Are Anti-Israel — First Time Ever for Major US Political Party” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

An American “gap year” student was arrested after her newborn baby was thrown out of a Paris hotel 2nd-floor window and died earlier this week.

French prosecutors said the baby was believed to have been thrown from the Ibis Styles hotel in eastern Paris, USA Today said, citing a report from CNN. The incident occurred Monday morning, the Associated Press said, citing the Paris prosecutor. . .

USA Today, citing AFP and local French outlet Le Parisien, reported that the student in question is 18 years old. She was taken to a hospital for medical treatment following childbirth and was placed in custody there, officials told the AP.

Paris prosecutors are investigating the crime as a homicide of a minor under the age of 15, USA Today reported, adding that the mother of the infant has not been named.

The U.S. Department of State told USA Today it’s aware of the situation and is monitoring the case: “We are deeply saddened to learn of the recent tragedy involving the loss of a young life. Due to privacy and other considerations, we have no further comment at this time.” (Read more from “American ‘Gap Year’ Student Arrested After Her Newborn Baby Was Thrown Out of Paris Hotel 2nd-Floor Window and Died” HERE)

Andrew Tate and Brother Face Florida Investigation— As Gov. DeSantis Says They Are Not Welcome

/0 Comments/in , /by

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has warned controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan they are “not welcome” in the Sunshine State after they arrived there when Romania lifted travel restrictions for the pending criminal case against them.

“Florida is not a place where you’re welcome with that type of conduct,” DeSantis said at a press conference in response to a reporter’s question about the Tate brothers.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, meanwhile, launched a “preliminary inquiry” into the Tate brothers, he said in a statement on X on Thursday.

“Florida has zero tolerance for human trafficking and violence against women. If any of these alleged crimes trigger Florida jurisdiction, we will hold them accountable,” the Florida AG wrote.

DeSantis denied that state officials OKed the arrival of the self-described misogynists.

“We have no involvement in that. I read about it through the media,” he said. (Read more from “Andrew Tate and Brother Face Florida Investigation— As Gov. DeSantis Says They Are Not Welcome” HERE)

The DOGE Dividend Could Become Law: ‘The Proposed Bill Will Be Coming in the Next Few Days’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The proposal for a “DOGE dividend,” which would distribute 20% of government savings to taxpayers, has gained support from President Trump and Elon Musk — and now it could potentially be enshrined in law, The Post has learned.

The 28-year-old hedge fund manager behind the idea, James Fishback, told The Post he met with Elon Musk last week and began meeting with lawmakers about his idea earlier this week.

“The president supports this and Elon likes the idea of incentivizing people to report waste, fraud, and abuse,” Fishback told me. “The proposed bill will be coming in the next few days.”

He added, “This approach will save taxpayers even more money — it would compound the returns that doge is finding.”

Under Fishback’s proposal, households that are net taxpayers — those who pay into the government more than they receive in benefits — would receive 20% of all DOGE’s saving. (Read more from “The DOGE Dividend Could Become Law: ‘The Proposed Bill Will Be Coming in the Next Few Days’” HERE)

Trump Says He Can Get a Peace Deal Done for Ukraine as British PM Arrives

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump on Thursday welcomed to the White House British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the second of three world leaders visiting this week, as European and Ukraine leaders seek a seat at the table for peace talks with Moscow.

The leader arrived in an SUV flying both the Stars and Stripes and Union Jack.

When asked by reporters if he could get a peace deal on Ukraine, Mr. Trump replied, “Yes.”

Mr. Starmer’s trip comes just two days after French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Washington and ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s expected visit on Friday. All three leaders are conferring with Mr. Trump to air their concerns that his aggressive efforts to end Russia’s war on Ukraine will result in conceding too much to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Since returning to the White House last month, Mr. Trump has angered U.S. allies in Europe by with his overtures to Mr. Putin, hurling insults at Mr. Zelenskyy by calling him a “dictator,” and insisting Ukraine repay the U.S. for its financial support.
