Dems Still in Disarray: Fetterman Tells His Fellow Democrats to Calm Down

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last week, in an interview with POLITICO, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) spoke out against Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) blaming President Joe Biden for Democrats’ election losses earlier this month. He’s also weighed in on President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks, referring to the selection of former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as “God-tiered kind of trolling,” though he does support Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for Secretary of State and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) as ambassador to the United Nations.

On Sunday, Fetterman also spoke about his party’s reaction to Trump’s win–something he had been warning about for weeks–during his appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

In response to host Jake Tapper reminding Fetterman that he’s said Democrats “shouldn’t be ‘freaking out’ over every single thing that Trump does,” the senator doubled down on how he is “absolutely excited” about Rubio and Stefanik, though he considers picks like Gaetz to be “just absolute trolls.”

“And that’s why Democrats–like, Trump gets the kind of thing–mean, he gets the kind of thing that he wanted, like the freak-out and all of those things. And he hasn’t even been–it’s still not even not even Thanksgiving yet,” Fetterman reminded. “And if we’re having meltdowns every tweet or every appointment or all those things, I mean, it’s going to be four years,” he continued, about four years that hasn’t even begun yet.

Fetterman himself also pointed out that he had been warning not just about a Trump win, but that he had been “warning about the jackpot,” with Republicans also gaining control of the Senate, keeping control of the House, and conservative judges being a majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, something Fetterman called “the real jackpot.”

Medical Examiner Makes Stunning Admission During Daniel Penny Trial

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The medical examiner who deemed Jordan Neely’s death was a homicide caused by Daniel Penny placing him in a chokehold made a stunning admission on the witness stand Friday: she didn’t wait for the toxicology report; the viral video alone of Penny subduing Neely on the New York City subway was what convinced her that Penny killed Neely.

“No toxicological result imaginable was going to change my opinion,” the prosecution’s last witness, Dr. Cynthia Harris of the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office, testified during Penny’s trial, per NBC News reporters present in the courtroom.

So, the forensic pathologist based the autopsy report, in part, off of the footage itself of the fatal encounter, which Harris said she saw was clear-cut evidence ruling out that Neely had died of a drug overdose.

“After watching it, I had no further questions as to why he was dead,” Harris said.

Penny’s defense attorneys questioned Harris about her initially writing “inconclusive” for the cause of death on Neely’s death certificate. One day after Neely’s death, the finding on May 2, 2023, said “pending further study.” The doctor said she eventually decided on asphyxiation, consistent with compression of the neck, upon reviewing the video in question depicting Neely “dying.” (Read more from “Medical Examiner Makes Stunning Admission During Daniel Penny Trial” HERE)

Sweden, Finland Warn Residents to Be Ready for War: ‘Situation Is Serious’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Sweden and Finland have all begun warning their residents to prepare for the possibility of war as Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine rages on.

Stockholm on Monday published its latest version of “In Case of Crisis or War,” a pamphlet instructing civilians on how to prepare for, and ride out, a national crisis that was last sent out in 2018.

The pamphlet, which has been issued five times since World War II, is now twice as long at 32 pages and focuses on war preparations as the Swedish government warns of the worsening situation in Ukraine. . .

The Swedish campaign comes as neighboring Finland has also published its own online crisis prep brochure, detailing how the Finnish government would react in case of war.

Helsinki warned that as of the last government survey in September, only 58% of Finns have adequate emergency supplies at home to ride out a crisis. (Read more from “Sweden, Finland Warn Residents to Be Ready for War: ‘Situation Is Serious’” HERE)

The “Trump Dance” appears to be exploding across the NFL. It started with the 49ers’ Nick Boas last week, who celebrated sacking the Dolphins quarterback by performing a little Donald Trump dance. But now, players on three other teams have joined the dance craze.

First up was Bosa, who performed his take on Trump’s hilarious little double-fisted low pump after he sacked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Baker Mayfield in the 49ers win. . .

Early in the NFL’s Sunday schedule, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers did his version of the Trump dance as he celebrated a third-quarter touchdown. . .

The Detroit Lions’ Za’Darius Smith and Malcolm Rodriguez also broke out in the Trump dance on Sunday:

The Tennessee Titans’ Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine also jumped to their feet to perform the Trump dance after making a touchdown Sunday:

Doctors Performing Trans Experiments on Kids Should Prepare to Be Sued in Texas and Elsewhere

/0 Comments/in , /by

In Texas, cases are mounting against physicians who broke state law by prescribing puberty blockers and hormones to minors under the guise of “gender affirming care.”

On Oct. 17, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Dr. May Lau, a pediatrician and professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. The suit claims that Lau treated 21 children with hormone blockers after the practice became illegal in the state and then “falsified” medical and billing records and prescriptions to manipulate the appearance of the care she provided.

Less than two weeks later, Paxton filed another suit accusing Dr. Hector Granados, an El Paso-area pediatric endocrinologist and known “gender care” provider, of “harming the health and safety of Texas children.” Paxton’s suit against Granados alleges the physician falsified medical records, prescriptions, and billing records to “intentionally conceal the unlawful conduct in violation” of Texas law.

On Nov. 4 Paxton named a third physician, Dr. M. Brett Cooper, in a lawsuit for allegedly providing “gender transition” drugs to minors after Texas law forbade it.

In a statement, Paxton said that Texas is “cracking down” on physicians who continue to illegally prescribe such drugs to minors and “will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.” (Read more from “Doctors Performing Trans Experiments on Kids Should Prepare to Be Sued in Texas and Elsewhere” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Renowned Russian ballet star Vladimir Shklyarov reportedly died Saturday at the age of 39 after falling from the fifth-story balcony of a building in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Shklyarov was a vocal advocate for ending the war against Ukraine since the initial invasion in 2022, and it remains unclear whether his outspoken stance on Putin’s war could be related to his death. However, many critics of Putin have suffered unexplained early deaths that include mysterious circumstances, according to a 2024 report issued by Newsweek. Shklyarov was the top-ranking dancer at the Mariinsky Theater, according to TMZ.

Russian state media outlet RIA Novosti reported that authorities have begun an investigation into Shklyarov’s death, but initial findings suggest the famous dancer’s fall was accidental, according to TMZ.

Shklyarov’s died two days prior to a scheduled complex spinal surgery, and local news outlet Fontanka reported that he had been using painkillers for his ailments. (Read more from “Famous Ballet Dancer And Putin Critic Falls Out Of Building, Dies: REPORT” HERE)

Republicans Rip Border Bill as ‘Unilateral Decision,’ Leaving Trump Admin Underprepared

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Senate Republicans slammed their Democrat counterparts in the chamber for moving forward with a “partisan” Homeland Security appropriations bill that they say has “substantial flaws” and will leave the incoming Trump administration without the resources they need to fix the border crisis.

Senate Committee on Appropriations ranking member Susan Collins, R-Maine, said in a statement that Democrats’ leadership has led to a “unilateral decision from the Majority to post a partisan measure on a critical appropriations bill that is meant to help secure our borders and combat the surge of deadly fentanyl and other illegal narcotics flooding our communities.”

She slammed this decision, claiming it “undercuts our efforts over the last two years to reach bipartisan consensus and allow Senators an opportunity to debate and amend appropriations bills.”

Appropriations Chair Patty Murray, D-Wash., did not provide comment to Fox News Digital in time for publication.

Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., the ranking member of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, also criticized the move by Democrats. (Read more from “Republicans Rip Border Bill as ‘Unilateral Decision,’ Leaving Trump Admin Underprepared” HERE)

Man Killed in Shooting During Facebook Marketplace Sale

/0 Comments/in , /by

A 66-year-old man was fatally shot in broad daylight while attempting to sell an iPhone to a woman he had arranged to meet through Facebook Marketplace. The incident occurred on Thursday afternoon at a gas station in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas, Texas.

The victim, identified as Ahmad Alkhalaf, was meeting the woman, later identified as 19-year-old Amaya Medrano, at approximately 3:00 p.m. when the shooting took place. Authorities say the encounter turned violent outside a gas station located near the intersection of I-35 and South Marsalis Avenue.

According to FOX 4, local resource officers from nearby Felix G. Botello Elementary School heard the gunfire and rushed to the scene. They found Alkhalaf lying beside a pickup truck with gunshot wounds. He was quickly transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

The Dallas Police Department launched an investigation, reviewing surveillance footage from the area. The video revealed key details, including distinctive tattoos on Medrano’s face and neck, which led to her identification. Police were able to track down Medrano by cross-referencing the tattoos with her social media profiles.

Medrano was arrested and now faces capital murder charges in connection with the shooting. The motive for the crime is still under investigation, but authorities are looking into the possibility of a robbery gone wrong during the transaction.

The tragic shooting has raised concerns about the risks involved in meeting strangers for online transactions. Local law enforcement continues to urge the public to take precautions when using online marketplaces to buy and sell items.

Biden Promotes DEI-Pushing Air Force Officials On His Way Out The Door

/3 Comments/in , /by

As his disastrous presidency comes to a close, Joe Biden promoted several Air Force officials who have touted neo-Marxist ideology throughout the service.

According to a Pentagon press release, the Democrat president nominated Col. Patric D. Coggin and Brig. Gen. Barbra S. Buls to the ranks of brigadier general and major general, respectively. Coggin currently serves as a commander in the Arkansas Air National Guard, while Buls serves as a commander in the Air National Guard Readiness Center and is stationed at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.

The Federalist has learned that both individuals have outwardly promoted radical left-wing orthodoxy such as “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) in their capacities as military officials. (DEI demands merit be dismissed in favor of a discriminatory system that prioritizes an individual’s personal features, such as skin color and sexual orientation).

In February 2023, Coggin was a featured guest on the “AR Minuteman Moment,” a podcast that “highlights what the 189th Airlift Wing accomplishes for the community, state and nation.” The Air Force colonel’s joint interview alongside Chief Master Sgt. Regina L. Monk, a black female, focused on Black History Month and, as the episode description reads, “what we can do as leaders to ensure our Airmen grow up in the Air National Guard with the best outlook on inclusion for all.”

After speaking about his experiences growing up, Coggin, a white male, referenced the significance of Black History Month and the progress black Americans have made throughout U.S. history, but claimed the country “still ha[s] a lot further to go.” (Read more from “Biden Promotes DEI-Pushing Air Force Officials On His Way Out The Door” HERE)

Chinese Summer Camps Teach American Kids To Be Like Red Army Soldiers And ‘Little’ Police Officers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Thousands of American kids are being sent to camps run by a Chinese influence and intelligence agency that promote Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda and even train some children to act like “Little Overseas Chinese Police,” a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered.

The Chinese government advertises the “Root-Seeking Summer Camp In China” as an opportunity for ethnically Chinese children living in the U.S. and other countries to immerse themselves in Chinese language and culture. However, a DCNF review of Chinese government announcements and the program’s website discovered the camps are overseen by a Chinese influence and intelligence service.

The program not only exposes participants as young as 10 years old to CCP propaganda, but some even operate like boot camps run by officers from the People’s Liberation Army and Ministry of Public Security, Chinese government social media posts reveal.

“The long arm of the CCP’s malign influence extends into the United States and seeks to assert an illegitimate claim on all those of Chinese ancestry — regardless of their nationality,” Michigan Republican Rep. John Moolenaar told the DCNF.

“We need to protect all those on American soil from the CCP’s authoritarian agenda, particularly by educating the American public on the true nature of the Party and its dystopian vision,” said Moolenaar, chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP.
