Capitol Hill Chaos: Trans Activists Occupy Bathroom

/0 Comments/in , /by

Transgender activists broadcast their intrusive takeover of two women’s bathrooms on Capitol Hill on December 5.

The transgender takeover marked an escalation by the mostly male movement in their campaign to demand access to spaces that are used by women to guard their sexual privacy and career opportunities in a diverse society.

The intrusions were done by two groups. One took over a bathroom in the Capitol Hill Visitor Center, and the other group occupied a bathroom in a hallway of a building used for the representatives’ offices.

The second group included Chelsea Manning, a former soldier who claimed transgender status after being convicted in 2013 for leaking secret military information during the Iraq War.

The activists were later constrained by the U.S. Capitol policy, according to a tweet shared by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC). She has recently pressured GOP leaders to recognize that incoming House Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride is a man, despite establishment media support for his claim of “transgender” status.

Trump Assassination Hearing Erupts Into Absolute Chaos (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Thursday, chaos erupted during a task force hearing on the assassination attempts of President-elect Donald Trump.

As Townhall covered extensively, Trump was nearly killed when he was shot in the ear at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in July.

Shortly after, the USSS thwarted another assassination attempt on the former president, this time, at a golf course in Florida.

During Thursday’s hearing, Texas Rep. Pat Fallon (R) sparred with acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe about the agency’s failures to protect Trump.

The screaming started when Rowe was explaining how he responded to the 9/11 terrorist attacks over 20 years ago. As he explained how he made his way through the rubble of the twin towers, Fallon cut him short and got back to the topic at hand.

Transgender Golfer Hailey Davidson Makes Completely Asinine Statement Regarding LPGA’s Gender-Eligibility Rule

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hailey Davidson just needs to go away.

The transgender golfer is out here ranting and raving after the LPGA Tour made the outright glorious decision to switch up its gender-eligibility rule that bans the majority of transgender athletes from their brand’s competitions.

The LPGA announced Wednesday the update to their policy that bars any transgender golfer who “transitioned” from a male to a female following puberty. The new rule will affect most transgender players due to the fact that the majority don’t transition prior to puberty.

Since 2021, Davidson has been attempting to gain an LPGA pro card, and while on the NXXT Tour, the trans athlete had been putting up win after win. However, those days are now over as the golf giant has made the decision to nix Davidson’s eligibility.

Ex-Secret Service Agent Warns He ‘Certainly Can See’ Trump Being Attacked Again Before Inauguration Day

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Secret Service agent Richard Staropoli warned Thursday that President-elect Donald Trump could soon face an attack that his former agency is unprepared to prevent.

The president-elect faced two assassination attempts during the 2024 presidential campaign, including one where a 20-year-old named Thomas Matthew Crooks got within rifle range of Trump by climbing to the top of a building near his rally. Starapoli, on “America Reports,” suggested Trump could face a threat “of a much bigger magnitude” than Crooks before he takes office in January.

“I’m not highly confident at all. The Secret Service that you see out there today is not the Secret Service of yesteryear. Somewhere along the line they’ve completely dropped the ball. That testimony that you saw today was purely a smokescreen to cover up the shortcomings of a politically compromised agency. It should never have gotten to that point,” Starapoli said. “This whole talk about all these drones and these UAVs, hey, that’s all great, but you need to get back to the basics. What made the Secret Service great was its ability to put human intelligence, manpower on the streets and effectively secure the environment to make it safe for the president of the United States. I don’t see that here.”

“As a matter of fact, I don’t think I’d be alone in saying that I certainly can see something happening between now and inauguration day,” he continued. “And it’s not going to be some 20-year-old kid on the roof of a building that’s allowed to get within 100 yards. It’s going to be something of a much bigger magnitude and I don’t think the Secret Service is anywhere equipped to handle that situation.” (Read more from “Ex-Secret Service Agent Warns He ‘Certainly Can See’ Trump Being Attacked Again Before Inauguration Day” HERE)

South Korean Defense Minister Resigns After Martial Law Disaster

/0 Comments/in , /by

South Korean President Yoon Sook-yeol on Thursday accepted the resignation of Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, even as critics demanded Yoon step down over his aborted attempt to impose martial law Tuesday.

Kim reportedly proposed the ill-fated declaration of martial law to Yoon, who stunned the world and plunged Seoul into chaos by issuing the order on Tuesday night, local time. The National Assembly, South Korea’s parliament, defied Yoon’s orders by barricading itself inside the assembly chamber and voting to lift martial law within a matter of hours.

Yoon declared martial law because he claimed the legislature had been infiltrated by “subversive anti-state elements” that were paralyzing his administration and blocking his agenda, all for the benefit of “North Korean communist forces.” He had deployed police and military forces around the National Assembly building in an unsuccessful attempt to keep legislators from voting.

Yoon also accused the opposition Democratic Party (DP) of cutting funding for police and the courts to thwart investigations into party leader Lee Jae-myung. The DP, in turn, accused Yoon of declaring martial law to block investigations into high officials of his People Power Party (PPP), including himself and his wife.

Kim is the first high-ranking Yoon ally to tender his resignation. Rumors swirled in Seoul that other top officials in the administration would resign, but so far they have not done so. (Read more from “South Korean Defense Minister Resigns After Martial Law Disaster” HERE)

‘Committed Crimes Against Innocent People’: ICE Deports Illegal Felon for 7th Time

/6 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Caller. Deportation officers in November removed a repeat felon from the United States for the seventh time, highlighting the difficulties of preventing dangerous foreign nationals from sneaking into the country.

Julio Cesar Hernandez Funez, a 41-year-old Honduran national, was deported back to his home country on Nov. 16, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The illegal migrant, who has a lengthy rap sheet for drug trafficking and other crimes, had already been sent back to Honduras six prior times — once in 2006, 2013, 2014, twice in 2015 and again in 2016.

Illegal Immigration Cost U.S. Taxpayers $150.7B: DOGE

By News Nation. American taxpayers shelled out more than $150 billion on immigrants in the U.S. illegally in 2023 alone, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) estimates.

DOGE, which is expected to become a federal agency in Donald Trump’s upcoming administration, said in a social media posting the spending compares to projects such as building the Hoover Dam, funding World War I and constructing the atomic bomb and accounted for 2% of the overall U.S. budget.

Newsweek reported that if accurate, the $150.7 billion spent on illegal immigration would rival the $151 billion that the government spent in 2023 to provide income security programs to military veterans and their families in 2023.

Meanwhile, sanctuary cities like New York, Chicago, and Denver have also paid millions and sometimes even billions on new arrivals since 2022.

Data shows that New York City, which has provided shelter, food, and other services for 223,000 migrants since 2022, has paid $ 5.22 billion for the care of new arrivals. Chicago, which has reported 51,643 new arrivals that have been bused there from the southern border by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, has spent $574.5 million.

Historic: Bitcoin Surges Past $100,000 in Wake of Trump Win

/0 Comments/in , /by

The price of bitcoin has now hit an all-time high record of $101,000, a symbolic milestone that comes amid a wave of optimism in the cryptocurrency space following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.

Bitcoin, the flagship cryptocurrency, punched above six figures on Wednesday. The new record is a remarkable increase from where the price of bitcoin was before Trump — who has touted himself as a defender of crypto — bested Vice President Kamala Harris to win the presidency.

A day before the election, a single bitcoin was worth about $68,000. The cryptocurrency has provided 47% return on investment in just a matter of days. Zooming out even further, bitcoin has vaulted up 124% in value since the start of the year, and 165% from this time last year.

If someone would have invested $5,000 in bitcoin just five years ago as the nascent crypto sector was starting to gain steam, their investment would have increased to $62,500.

Much of the recent increase can be tied to Trump’s win. Crypto advocates anticipate a much more friendly environment for bitcoin under Trump and for bitcoin to become even more institutionally accepted, a big departure from President Joe Biden, whose administration was seen as hostile to the industry.

Immigrant — Just 13 Years Old — Stabs Man With Help of 3 Masked Accomplices Because Victim Wouldn’t Snap Their Photo: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

A 13-year-old immigrant from Ecuador stabbed a man in New York City with help from three masked accomplices after the victim wouldn’t photograph them, the New York Post reported, citing police and sources.

A young teenage male and his comrades approached the 23-year-old victim around 9 p.m. Sunday at West 40th Street and Seventh Avenue and asked him to take a photo of them, police and sources told the Post.

When the man declined, the 13-year-old and the other three ganged up on the man, punching him in the face and stabbing him in the back and leg with a brass-knuckle knife, the paper said, citing authorities.

Police added that they unsuccessfully tried to grab the victim’s cellphone, the Post reported, adding that authorities and police said the victim refused medical attention as the stab wounds were superficial.

The suspects ran off, but officers managed to nab the male teen in question after searching the area with the victim, police added to the paper. (Read more from “Immigrant — Just 13 Years Old — Stabs Man With Help of 3 Masked Accomplices Because Victim Wouldn’t Snap Their Photo: Report” HERE)

‘Drunk’ GOP Rep, 77, Caught on Video Failing Field Sobriety Test After Alleged Hit-And-Run Crash

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Tennessee state senator has been arrested on a DUI charge after he was filmed allegedly failing a sobriety test following a drunken hit-and-run crash in Georgia.

Rep. Ken Yager, 77, was caught on camera stumbling around as troopers tried to make him walk in a straight line on Jekyll Island at about 5 p.m. Tuesday, footage obtained by WTVF shows.

The Republican lawmaker was nabbed after authorities spotted his Ford Edge with Tennessee-issued Senate tag license plates in a supermarket parking lot following reports the vehicle had been involved in an earlier hit-and-run crash, the Georgia Department of Public Safety said.

Yager — who is the GOP’s Senate Caucus Chair — allegedly smelled of alcohol and admitted to being involved in the earlier wreck, according to authorities. (Read more from “‘Drunk’ GOP Rep, 77, Caught on Video Failing Field Sobriety Test After Alleged Hit-And-Run Crash” HERE)

Pete Hegseth’s Mother Sets the Record Straight After ‘Despicable’ NYT Published Private Email

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The mother of embattled Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary, appeared on live television to set the record straight after the New York Times published a private 2018 email sent to her son in which she deeply regrets.

During an interview with Fox and Friends, the show Hegseth used to co-host before being nominated by Trump to work in his cabinet, Penelope Hegseth said she wrote the email out of haste due to her anger in the heat of the moment. She pointed out that she apologized to her son hours later in a second email—which, of course, had not been leaked.

Over the weekend, I covered the absurd NYT article in which the outlet tried to persuade its readers that even Hegseth’s own mother had claimed he has “mistreated women for years” amidst the sexual misconduct allegations against the former news host.

Six years ago, Penelope emailed her son, expressing her disappointment with him amid his divorce. She said he was displaying a “lack of character” and called him an “abuser of women.”

“That is the ugly truth, and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego,” Penelope Hegseth wrote. “You are that man (and have been for years), and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth,” advising the former Fox News host to “get some help and take an honest look at yourself.” (Read more from “Pete Hegseth’s Mother Sets the Record Straight After ‘Despicable’ NYT Published Private Email” HERE)
