Potential Act of Terrorism: FBI Investigates Blast at Fertility Center

/0 Comments/in , /by

Federal authorities are investigating a deadly explosion at a Southern California fertility clinic as an act of terrorism, following revelations that the suspect left behind disturbing online writings and attempted to record or livestream the attack, according to law enforcement sources.

The explosion, which rocked the normally quiet city of Palm Springs on Saturday, tore through the fertility clinic and killed the person believed responsible. Nineteen others were injured in the blast, though none of the victims have been publicly identified.

At a press conference Saturday evening, Akil Davis, head of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office, said the agency is treating the incident as terrorism.

“Make no mistake: This is an intentional act of terrorism,” Davis said.

A prominent Black Lives Matter activist has been caught trying to meet up with a child for sex.

In a sting filmed by veteran pedophile hunter Chris Hansen, Aston Mack was arrested after meeting a “child” who was actually an undercover police officer.

Footage shows the sheriff’s deputies raiding Mack’s residence and detaining him after he tries to escape.

“Can you grab my shoe?” he pleads as he is taken away

Originally from Florida, Mack is a far-left activist who led Black Lives Matter riots following the death of George Floyd back in 2020.

In 2022, he was even invited by the English Premier League team Arsenal to show off their new away jersey, standing alongside star player Martin Odegaard as part of the launch.

Top Trump Administration Figure Warns of Rising Prices from Tariffs (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent conceded on Sunday that President Donald Trump’s tariffs could increase prices for consumers.

Walmart CEO Doug McMillon announced on a Thursday earnings call that the company would raise its prices due to the tariffs after recording a slip in first-quarter profits, despite strong quarterly sales and a bump in operating profit. During a Sunday appearance on “State of the Union,” Bessent said he spoke to McMillon, who told him that Walmart would potentially pass tariff-related costs on to American shoppers.

“I did speak to Doug McMillon, who I have a very good relationship, yesterday, just to understand what he had to say. And, you know, understand that came from an earnings call. On an earnings call, because of [Securities and Exchange Commission] requirements, they have to give the most draconian case,” Bessent said. “So, Walmart will be absorbing some of the tariffs. Some may get passed on to consumers. But the other thing that’s happening is that inflation is down. We had the first drop in inflation in four years under President Trump.”

“The other thing that Doug mentioned to me is for his consumers, for his buyers, the most important thing are gasoline prices. And this administration has gotten gasoline prices down, service prices are down,” Bessent continued. “So overall, I would expect inflation to remain in line. But I don’t blame consumers for being skittish after what happened to them four years under Biden. We had the worst inflation in 40 years.” (Read more from “Top Trump Administration Figure Warns of Rising Prices from Tariffs (VIDEO)” HERE)

Organizers Planning a ‘Nationwide’ Protest for Trump’s Birthday

/0 Comments/in , /by

Agitators are planning a not-too-surprising birthday gift for President Donald Trump on his 79th birthday — yet another anti-Trump demonstration.

Organizers say they are hoping to upstage a military parade the president has planned for June 14 in Washington, DC.

Refuse Fascism, the group claiming to be behind the event, has held rallies against the Trump administration in downtown Los Angeles and other cities, ABC’s network affiliate Channel 7 reported Sunday.

Sunsara Taylor, who is with the group, told the station:

Donald Trump is trashing the rule of law, he’s disappearing immigrants, he’s threatening to do the same without any due process (for) legal citizens. The other day on television he said he didn’t know if he has to abide by the Constitution. This is an emergency. Not just for people in this country, but for all over the planet.

The group is calling June 14 “No King’s Day.” (Read more from “Organizers Planning a ‘Nationwide’ Protest for Trump’s Birthday” HERE)

Iran’s Supreme Leader Accuses Trump of ‘Lying’ While Crowd Chants ‘Death to America’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei slammed President Donald Trump in front of a crowd chanting “death to America” in recent comments as the United States tries to negotiate a new nuclear deal with Iran.

Khamenei accused Trump of lying about attempts to bring peace to the Middle East and said that the United States should leave the region. The supreme leader also referred to Israel as a “cancerous tumor” that needs to be “uprooted,” according to a translation of his comments by the Washington D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute.

“Some of the things the U.S. president said in his recent visit to the region are not even worthy of a response,” the supreme leader said Saturday in a video published and translated by the institute. “Trump said that he wanted to use power for peace. He is lying.”

In reaction to Khamenei’s comments throughout the roughly four-minute clip, the crowd of supporters alternately chant “death to America,” “death to England,” and “death to Israel.” The crowd also calls for “death to those who oppose the rule of the Jurisprudent,” a reference to the Islamic law that the Iranian regime is based on.
“[Trump] and other senior officials in the American administration have used power to perpetrate a massacre in Gaza, to stir up war wherever they could, and in order to support their mercenaries,” the supreme leader said. “When have they ever used power for peace?”

Tough-On-Crime New DA Sends Message to Criminals as He Takes Charge in Dem-Run City

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tough-on-crime Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman is doubling down on border crossings and vowed that criminals will now be held “fully accountable for their illegal actions.”

Hochman, a Republican-turned-Independent, defeated incumbent progressive prosecutor George Gascón by a 20-point margin. Gascón was considered by many voters to be soft on crime.

“I am standing at the border between LA County and San Bernardino County where criminals used to enjoy crossing in the LA direction, thinking that little to no consequences would occur if they stole, robbed and engaged in criminal conduct,” Hochman shared in a video posted on his X account on Sunday.

“Times have changed! The fun is over. A new DA was elected. And criminals in LA County will now be prosecuted and held fully accountable for their illegal actions,” he continued.”

Hochman, a former federal prosecutor and lifelong Los Angeles resident, campaigned as a “hard middle” candidate, rejecting both mass incarceration and the “public safety failure” of Gascón’s liberal policies, which Hochman said led to increased crime and a lack of consequences for juvenile offenders.

Audio Of Biden’s Special Counsel Interview Is Out, And It’s Painful To Listen To

/3 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. Audio of former special counsel Robert Hur’s interview with former President Joe Biden is out, showing the extent to which Biden struggled to recall simple facts.

The news outlet Axios obtained the audio of Hur’s interviews with Biden, which took place in October 2023. The recordings were taken over two three-hour interview sessions recorded on October 8 and 9.

In one audio clip, Biden struggles to recall the year his son Beau died. Beau died of brain cancer on May 30, 2015, at the age of 46. The audio shows that Biden could remember the month and day, but struggled to recall the year until he was prompted by members of the special counsel’s team.

Biden also gets the year wrong that President Donald Trump was elected to his first term. Biden confuses the year that Trump is elected, 2016, with the year that he enters office and Biden leaves the vice presidency, 2017. Biden is repeatedly prompted to clarify when he leaves office and Trump enters the White House.

As the clip continues, Biden backtracks, appears to repeat himself, and appears to misstate the year of Beau’s death again after being told the correct year. Biden struggles to spin more than a handful of words together at a time before he pauses again, appearing to be trying to recollect his thoughts. At several moments, Biden drops off midway through a sentence with a muttered, “anyway.” (Read more from “Audio Of Biden’s Special Counsel Interview Is Out, And It’s Painful To Listen To” HERE)

_______________________________________________

Portions of the Tapes Between Biden and Special Counsel Robert Hur Have Been Released. They’re Brutal.

By Townhall. The Democrats’ hell week over this matter will continue. President Trump gave Attorney General Pam Bondi the go-ahead to release the audio tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Joe Biden, which captured the former president’s shoddy memory. The signs of mental decline were pervasive, but while we were called conspiracy theorists for saying so, the Democrat-media complex continued to press on with their lies about the president’s health. Axios obtained a portion of these tapes; one of the marquee moments of the Hur report was when he noted that Joe Biden had forgotten when Beau died.

It led to a press conference where the president vociferously pushed back on the report, even directing his anger at Hur for suggesting he’d forgotten when his son had passed. The problem: Biden lied constantly to the president, and this is no exception. We have proof that the then-president struggled to remember when Beau died of brain cancer. The Biden White House refused to release the tapes. The Biden Justice Department tried to deep-six it. It’s now for all to see and hear (via Axios):

Amid long, uncomfortable pauses, Joe Biden struggled to recall when his son died, when he left office as vice president, what year Donald Trump was elected or why he had classified documents he shouldn’t have had, according to audio Axios obtained of his October 2023 interviews with special counsel Robert Hur.

Why it matters: The newly released recordings of Biden having trouble recalling such details — while occasionally slurring words and muttering — shed light on why his White House refused to release the recordings last year, as questions mounted about his mental acuity.

The audio also appears to validate Hur’s assertion that jurors in a trial likely would have viewed Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

Economist Tells Tucker Carlson What He Predicts Trump’s Tariffs Will Do For America

/0 Comments/in , /by

Economist Oren Cass told Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson on Friday that he believes the Trump administration’s guidance on tariffs could lead to strong allies for the United States and more free trade.

Negotiations with a handful of countries have been underway since President Donald Trump announced reciprocal tariffs, hitting some countries, like China, higher than the 10% baseline due to their tariffs against the U.S. While discussing the potential effects of Trump’s economic policies, Carlson asked Cass how he believes “the tariff story” will end.

“I think the best way to understand what’s going on is to think about this kind of world order that we’ve been talking about a bunch. And recognize that what we are going through is a transition out of the U.S. as sole superpower to, I guess you would call it a multipolar world where China is a kind of peer, competitor and adversary,” Cass said.

“We’re seeing in real time how it breaks down, how you can’t just be the benevolent open market when China is now bigger than you and more technologically advanced in some ways. It can’t go on that way,” Cass added. “So I think the tariffs are the sort of tip of the spear of saying that system is over. What do we want to have replace it? And I think what the United States should want, and what I see the administration pointing toward and pushing toward, is basically, look, we still want to have strong allies. We still want to have free trade among our allies.”

Shortly after Trump’s ‘Liberation Day,’ the president announced a 90-day pause on tariffs — except for those against China — opening up trade talks with other countries. The U.S. and China entered a tariff war, leading to the U.S. slapping China with a 145% tariff. Discussions officially began May 10.

Murkowski Really Doesn’t Want To Take ‘Big Hammer’ To Biden’s Massive Climate Bill

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski is working to preserve some provisions of former President Joe Biden’s signature climate bill as Republicans look for savings to pay for their reconciliation package, according to Politico.

Murkowski suggested that her party should be “taking a more cautious and conscientious approach” to repealing the bill instead of taking a “big hammer” to the green energy credits included in Biden’s trillion-dollar Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Politico reported. The IRA, which received no votes from Republicans in Congress in 2022, is facing major cuts as Republicans look for possible savings to fund President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda.

As part of the proposed GOP budget bill to advance the Trump administration’s priorities, House Republicans plan to cut billions in clean energy subsidies implemented during the previous administration, including credits for electric vehicles, “green” household products like heat pumps and energy-saving doors and windows.

Credits for hydrogen production, as well as advanced manufacturing and nuclear power production would be phased out, dividing right-of-center energy policy analysts. The bill also seeks to end “transferability,” which allows project sponsors to transfer the credit to a third party, and crack down on the ability of Chinese companies to benefit from the subsidies.

“I’m pretty sure that there would be a fair number on that list, on the House side, who are hoping against hope that we in the Senate will work to soften that,” Murkowski told Politico. She was one of four Republican senators who asked Senate Majority Leader John Thune in April to preserve certain energy tax credits in the IRA.

Report Reveals HHS is Dropping COVID Vaccination Advice for Pregnant Women and Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Health and Human Services is reportedly preparing to scrap its recommendation that pregnant women and kids get the COVID-19 vaccines. Individuals said to be familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal that the announcement is imminent and will coincide with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention kicking off a new vaccine approval framework.

While the relevant agencies apparently did not respond to the Journal’s requests for comment, U.S. Food and Drug Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary provided a fairly strong indication this week that the change was coming.

Makary told Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk that he would “love to see the evidence to show that giving young, healthy children another COVID-19 shot — you know, a sixth COVID booster — would help them, but that evidence does not exist, and so we’re not going to rubber-stamp things at the FDA.”

“I don’t think you’re going to see a push at the CDC to be pushing COVID shots in young, healthy children,” continued Makary, adding that he expected an announcement on that front in the coming weeks.

Sources told the Journal that it would only be a matter of days. (Read more from “Report Reveals HHS is Dropping COVID Vaccination Advice for Pregnant Women and Children” HERE)
