JD Vance Calls Out Screaming Protesters for ‘Chasing’ His 3-Year-Old Daughter

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President J.D. Vance called out pro-Ukrainian protesters Saturday for screaming as they chased him down on a walk with his 3-year-old daughter, Mirabel.

“Today while walking my 3 year old daughter a group of ‘Slava Ukraini’ protesters followed us around and shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared,” Vance wrote on X.

Vance confronted the protesters in an interaction that was captured on video by WCPO 9. As Ukrainian flag-waving activists complained to the vice president that “people are dying,” he calmly and collectively spoke to their concerns about Russia and a hopeful end to the war.

“Russia certainly invaded Ukraine in 2022, but there needs to be a settlement,” Vance told the protesters as one woman began to shout over him. More protesters joined in as Vance explained that he was trying to be respectful, shouting that the vice president has “no integrity.”

COVID Booster Vaccine Reawakens World’s Deadliest Virus Inside Man’s Body

/91 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Mail. Doctors have revealed an extremely rare case that saw the Covid vaccine reawaken a deadly virus inside a man’s body.

The unnamed 47-year-old had been living with a dormant tuberculosis infection that was not causing symptoms when he received his booster shot in India.

Five days after vaccination he he began experiencing ‘severe constitutional symptoms’ including fever, fatigue and night sweats.

Doctors discovered that his immune system, now stronger from the vaccine, started attacking the TB infection too aggressively, causing inflammation and the flare-up of symptoms.

He was diagnosed with tuberculosis immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS), marking the first known case linked to a Covid booster. (Read more from “COVID Booster Vaccine Reawakens World’s Deadliest Virus Inside Man’s Body” HERE)

Troops Booted Over COVID Vaccine Show Limited Interest in Rejoining

By The Military Times. Roughly 650 Marines and Army soldiers who were forced out of the military for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine have so far expressed interest in returning to the force under an executive order from President Donald Trump, officials said this week.

The number represents about 8% of the roughly 8,200 troops who had been discharged. The total, officials say, confirms military leaders’ early view that many troops have moved on with their lives. They have been allowed to rejoin since 2023, and Trump’s offer of providing back pay may be a factor in spurring a bit more interest now.

The Army and Marine Corps have been sending out emails, texts and phone calls to service members discharged for refusing a pandemic-era order to get the vaccine. The Navy and the Air Force are planning to begin their efforts to contact service members, but are waiting for additional guidance. The totals would likely increase once their formal notices go out.

Officials stressed that the numbers are very preliminary because troops have only expressed interest in reenlisting and haven’t actually taken steps to formally do so. They will have to go through the enlistment procedure again, pass all required legal and moral standards and physical fitness requirements and agree to reenlist for at least two years.

Trump has argued that the vaccine mandate wrongly pushed troops out and suggested that many would return. In an executive order signed a week after he took office, Trump said that the mandate cost the military “some of our best people” and he vowed to “rehire every patriot who was fired from the military with … backpay.” (Read more from “Troops Booted Over COVID Vaccine Show Limited Interest in Rejoining” HERE)

Court: Democrat Secretary Fontes Sidestepped Arizona Law When Drafting Election Rulebook

/0 Comments/in , /by

Arizona’s Democrat secretary of state failed to comply with existing law when creating the state’s election rulebook, an Arizona court ruled on Thursday.

Writing on behalf of a three-judge panel on the Arizona Court of Appeals, Judge Lacey Gard ruled that Secretary of State Adrian Fontes “did not substantially comply” with the Arizona Administrative Procedure Act’s (APA) rulemaking procedures when finalizing the 2023 Election Procedures Manual (EPM). In Arizona, the EPM provides rules to election officials relating to mail ballots, voter registration, and other election-related matters.

According to Gard, Fontes’ illegal act pertains to the EPM’s public comment period.

In late July 2023, the Democrat secretary “published a 259-page draft EPM, allowing public comment for a period of fifteen days.” As unanimously determined by the three-judge panel, however, that is “only half the time the APA requires.”

“We conclude that the 2023 EPM was subject to the rulemaking procedure under the APA and that the Secretary did not substantially comply with the APA’s rulemaking process in promulgating the EPM,” Gard wrote.

Lawmakers Override Veto on Law Requiring Ultrasound for Pill Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Women trying to get the abortion pill in Wyoming now need to undergo an ultrasound after state lawmakers overrode the governor’s earlier veto of a bill requiring the procedure.

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) vetoed the “Chemical abortions-ultrasound requirement” bill earlier this week citing concerns over its invasive nature and the bill’s lack of exceptions for victims of rape or incest.

“It creates the prospect of an unnecessary, intimate, and invasive procedure (transvaginal ultrasound) which subjects women to an uncomfortable and potentially traumatic experience in what may already be a very overwhelming situation,” Gordon wrote in a letter to Wyoming House Speaker Chip Neiman (R), the bill’s main sponsor.

Under the bill, women seeking to end a pregnancy using abortion medication need to receive a transvaginal ultrasound at least 48 hours before receiving the necessary pills.

During the procedure, a health care provider inserts a device called a transducer into the vagina to record images of the cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. (Read more from “Lawmakers Override Veto on Law Requiring Ultrasound for Pill Abortions” HERE)

Russia Rejects Ukraine Ceasefire, Launches Massive Bombing Campaign

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russia said on Thursday that a partial or temporary ceasefire in its war on Ukraine would be “unacceptable,” and only a comprehensive “final settlement” will do.

The Russians punctuated this argument by launching a massive attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure with missiles and drones. Russia also appears to be on the verge of ejecting Ukrainian forces from Kursk, the territory counter-invaded by the Ukrainians in August 2024.

The Russians curtly rejected a French-British proposal for a one-month ceasefire “in the air, at sea, and on energy infrastructure,” to be backed up by a “coalition of the willing” that would include at least 20 member nations, according to British officials.

“Firm agreements on a final settlement are necessary. Without all this, any respite or regrouping is absolutely unacceptable, as it will lead to exactly the opposite result,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters on Thursday.

“In reality, we are dealing with an open desire to achieve a respite at any cost for the Kyiv regime in its death throes, for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and to prevent the collapse of the front,” she said of the UK-France temporary ceasefire plan.

ABC Shuts Down Pro-Leftist Polling Site That Claimed Harris Had Better Chance Than Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

When ABC News announced it was shutting down the pollster FiveThirtyEight, it called to mind the site’s claim that former Vice President Kamala Harris stood a better chance than now-President Donald Trump in November’s election. The shutdown shows legacy media, which have long inaccurately boosted perceived support for Democrats, are finally losing control.

Just before the election, FiveThirtyEight claimed Harris stood a 50 percent chance of winning to Trump’s 49 percent. It said, “Polls from more frequently polled, but less well-regarded, firms had shown a more Trump-leaning race” but shifted toward Harris before the election.

FiveThirtyEight claimed Trump stood just a 29 percent chance of winning the national popular vote against Harris’ 71 percent. It also claimed Trump had a meager 1 percent chance of winning in a “landslide” of more than 350 electoral votes.

These predictions could hardly be further from the truth. While Trump didn’t technically win a “landslide” by the polling site’s standards, he won the electoral college 312-226 — winning all seven swing states, flipping six that went for former President Joe Biden in 2020. He also won the national popular vote with 49.9 percent to Harris’ 48.4 percent, becoming the first Republican president to win the popular vote in 20 years.

Nate Silver, the founder and former lead editor of FiveThirtyEight, even suggested Harris could turn Florida blue — giving her a 21 percent chance of winning the state. “A one-in-five chance isn’t bad, but it isn’t great either.” When another X user said a Trump would win Florida by a “minimum” of eight points, Silver said to “stop huffing the Twitter vibes.”

Stranded Astronaut Confirms Biden Shot Down Musk’s Offer to Bring Pair Home: ‘Absolutely Factual’

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the NASA astronauts trapped on the International Space Station said he believes Elon Musk’s claim that the Biden administration rejected the SpaceX CEO’s offer to help bring the team home.

Barry “Butch” Wilmore made the comment Tuesday during an in-orbit press conference with fellow castaway Sunita Williams nine months after their Boeing Starliner capsule malfunctioned and left the pair stuck on the ISS.

One questioner asked about Musk’s recent claim that former President Joe Biden had intentionally stalled their rescue for “political reasons.”

In an earlier question, Wilmore denied that politics had anything to do with the team’s delayed departure, but he seemed to shift his stance when answering the later question.

“I can only say that Mr. Musk, what he says, is absolutely factual … I believe him,” he said. (Read more from “Stranded Astronaut Confirms Biden Shot Down Musk’s Offer to Bring Pair Home: ‘Absolutely Factual’” HERE)

Woman Permanently Injured by Male in Volleyball Game Now Accused of ‘Bullying’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Payton McNabb, the former high school volleyball player whose sports career was ruined after a male spiked the ball in her face, also faced punishment from her sorority for the crime of confronting a man who was using the women’s restroom.

McNabb’s story has gained more attention after President Donald Trump invited her to his speech to Congress Tuesday and after Senate Democrats voted against a bill to exclude men from women’s sports Monday. While the president noted McNabb’s tragic backstory, her sorority’s move against her has yet to be reported.

The sorority Delta Zeta expelled McNabb on May 20, 2024, finding her guilty of violating the sorority’s “Anti-Bullying Policy” and of engaging in “Moral-Prejudicial Conduct.” The bullying violation involves any activity “reasonably perceived as being dehumanizing, intimidating, hostile, threatening, or otherwise likely to evoke fear of physical harm or emotional distress.” The prejudicial conduct violation involves conduct that may bring the sorority “into disrepute.”

Her offense? Calmly confronting a man in a dress in a women’s restroom, recording him out of fear for her safety, and posting the video on X to warn other young women.

Trump Proves The Border Bill Pushed By GOP Leaders Under Biden Was Never Necessary

/18 Comments/in , /by

In his speech to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night, President Trump said something about illegal immigration that has become obvious since he took office in January: The border crisis under President Biden was a policy the Democrats chose on purpose, and they could have ended it at any time. The argument that Congress needed to pass new legislation to secure the border was always a canard, an excuse to do nothing and let the border crisis fester.

“The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation, we must have legislation to secure the border,” said Trump. “But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.”

Trump is right of course, as events over the past six weeks have demonstrated. But it wasn’t just Democrats who pushed this line during the Biden administration. Last year, Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma introduced a $118-billion “bipartisan” Ukraine and border bill that was touted by the corporate press, Democrats, and the GOP establishment as the only solution to the illegal immigration crisis on the southern border.

We were told by then-Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer that this bill was the only thing that could stem the tide of illegal immigration, which by February 2024 had reached record levels. In December 2023, a jaw-dropping 300,000 illegal immigrants were arrested in a single month, a new record. By this point in Biden’s tenure, millions of illegal aliens had snuck into the country, most of them released into the interior on their own recognizance. It was a crisis that began the day Biden took office and rescinded nearly every border measure Trump had put into place during his first term.

The Lankford bill, which was really a McConnell bill, was touted as a great deal for Republican border hawks that would put an end to mass illegal immigration and solve the Biden border crisis. It would have provided significant new funding for more Border Patrol agents, completion of certain sections of the border wall, and overhauled our outdated asylum system.
