Frustration Over Transgender ‘Acceptance’ Allegedly Fueled Georgia Shooting: Report

/1 Comment/in , /by

CNN reported that the FBI had found evidence linked to the alleged Apalachee High School shooter that could explain his motivation.

The report cited documents claiming that a Discord account was identified last year by the FBI as belonging to Colt Gray. According to CNN’s summary of the posts, the account owner said that he was planning an attack on an elementary school and expressed “frustration with the acceptance of transgender people.” . . .

The Discord user also reportedly posted photographs of firearms and stated, “im committing a mass shooting and im waiting a good 2-3 years [sic].”

Another post allegedly read, “I cant kill myself yet, cause I’m not contributing anything to culture I need to go out knowing I did [sic].”

The FBI referred the tip about the account to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, but deputies closed their investigation after concluding that the Discord user making the threats “could not be substantiated.” (Read more from “Frustration Over Transgender ‘Acceptance’ Allegedly Fueled Georgia Shooting: Report” HERE)

Exposed: Kamala Harris’s ‘Middle-Class’ Upbringing in Westmount, Canada

/3 Comments/in , /by

Now that she is running for president in a political moment when victimhood is currency, Vice President Kamala Harris paints herself as being brought up on the “streets” — complete with fake accents as part of her bit.

However, unfortunately for that narrative, the politics editor at Breitbart News (me) happens to have grown up in the same neighborhood Harris lived in from when she was 12 to 18 and can report that calling herself “middle class” is definitely a stretch.

On Labor Day, Harris put on one of her myriad fake dialects to address a working-class crowd in Detroit, Michigan.

However, it is virtually impossible for Harris to have organically adopted that accent — or “code switch,” as the propagandists at the Associated Press refer to it — given that not only did she not grow up anywhere near the working class, she actually grew up in one of the most upscale enclaves in Canada, a commonwealth nation with distinctly non-American English.

When Harris was 12, she left Berkeley after her mother was hired to work with McGill University, doing breast cancer research at Montreal’s Jewish General Hospital — the hospital in which I was born. Local doctors described her mother as a “pioneer.” (Read more from “Exposed: Kamala Harris’s ‘Middle-Class’ Upbringing in Westmount, Canada” HERE)

Millions of Americans Lost Jobs Last Month While the ‘Foreign Born’ Saw Massive Gains

/2 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its jobs report for August on Friday, exposing the continuation of at least two troubling trends.

Not only does it appear that the country is still shedding full-time jobs while adding part-time gigs, which usually lack the benefits many families rely upon, but hundreds of thousands of foreign-born workers are securing gainful employment while millions of native-born Americans are losing jobs.

According the report, the U.S. under the Biden-Harris administration added 142,000 nonfarm payroll jobs last month — roughly 20,000 short of what the economists polled by Reuters expected to see.

The unemployment rate, 4.2%, and the number of unemployed people, 7.1 million, were both apparently higher this year than they were last year (3.8% and 6.3 million, respectively.)

ZeroHedge, which has long documented the trend of what it calls the “great replacement” of American workers with imported workers, highlighted that “in the past month, the US has added 635K foreign-born workers, while losing 1.325 million native-born workers.” (Read more from “Millions of Americans Lost Jobs Last Month While the ‘Foreign Born’ Saw Massive Gains” HERE)

China Halts Foreign Adoption of Children Amid Demographic Crisis

/6 Comments/in , /by

The Chinese government on Friday announced that it will no longer allow foreign families to adopt Chinese children, ending a program that has found homes overseas for more than 160,000 children since 1992. While Beijing refused to clearly explain its decision, most observers suspected it was a response to declining birth rates in China.

The cutoff of foreign adoptions was so abrupt that families with pending cases had no idea if their adoptions would go forward. When the U.S. State Department sought clarification, Chinese officials said they “will not continue to process cases at any stage.”

“We understand there are hundreds of families still pending completion of their adoption, and we sympathize with their situation,” the State Department said.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry mumbled something about bringing foreign adoptions into line with “the spirit of relevant international conventions.”

This might have been a vague reference to Denmark and the Netherlands saying earlier this year that they will no longer allow overseas adoptions. Both of those decisions were prompted by bureaucratic irregularities and allegations of fraudulent paperwork, after a sharp decline in foreign adoptions during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic.

Leftist Law School Goes Anti-Christian With New Course About ‘Age of Trump’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A top public university’s law school is offering a class this fall that aims to explore the U.S.’ political shift towards “authoritarian Christianist nationalism” in the “age of Trump,” according to an email obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The University of Colorado Boulder’s Law School class, titled “Statutory Interpretation,” is offered to second-year law students and will hinge on topics of relevance in the current election season, including former president Donald Trump’s legal battles and the Supreme Court’s supposed “legitimacy crisis,” professor Paul Campos told students in an email obtained by DCNF. Campos noted in the email that the course could be more aptly named “The Crisis of the American Legal System in the Age of Trump.”

“[It] isn’t surprising that [the school would] offer such a course, but it is disappointing,” a law student who alerted the DCNF of the course said, mentioning multiple instances of similar bias experienced at the school. The student requested anonymity in order to “avoid retaliation” from the school.

“When I learned constitutional law, I learned it from a professor that openly called for the rewriting of the constitution. Students in that same class complained about the fact that “non-college educated” voters in rural America could affect elections at all,” the student told the DCNF. Professors at the university, he said, “tout the likes of Ginsburg and Sotomayor, reading their opinions as though it were gospel. I have yet to hear critiques on the liberal justices, but I often hear critiques on the likes of Justice Gorsuch, who once taught at the school.”

Course topics will include abortion and the “current legitimacy crisis” of the Supreme Court and will discuss how they create a “fundamental threat to social and political national stability,” according to the email.

Former Federal Prosecutor Says Judge Delaying Sentencing May ‘Signal’ He Plans to Jail Trump ‘After the Election’

/4 Comments/in , /by

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky said on Friday that Judge Juan Merchan’s decision to postpone former President Donald Trump’s sentencing could indicate his intention to jail the former president following the November election.

Trump’s sentencing was slated for Sept. 18, but Merchan delayed the date on Friday “if necessary” to Nov. 26, according to the order. Cherkasky, on “America Reports,” suggested Merchan might have delayed the sentencing because imprisoning Trump before the election could be catastrophic, whereas doing so afterward would be more practical.

“[George Washington University law professor] Jonathan Turley was just explaining, perhaps this is a path to him finding or reaching a decision that does not have jail time for Donald Trump. I think it could be a signal of the opposite, that trying to jail the president ahead of the election would have been disastrous for the nation at large,” Cherkasky said. “But if he waits until after the election, then that becomes more of a viable option for him. I’m not saying I think that’s necessarily going to happen. I’m kind of playing it from both sides of the deck, thinking about what he might be thinking in terms of a final sentence in this case.” (Read more from “Former Federal Prosecutor Says Judge Delaying Sentencing May ‘Signal’ He Plans to Jail Trump ‘After the Election'” HERE)

Violent Crime Creating ‘Dystopian Hell’ Despite Biden’s Claim America is Safer

/2 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s policies have not contributed to a decrease in violent crime, multiple sources told the Daily Caller, despite the Biden-Harris administration seizing on a recent report that seemed to show major cities were safer in 2024.

One liberal-run city is a “dystopian hell,” remarked a police union representative to the Caller. Additionally, changes in reporting protocols create the “illusion” of safety, according to one law enforcement officer.

A report by the Major Cities Chiefs Association captured data on violent crime from 69 cities. New York City was not included because it did not submit violent crime numbers for the first half of this year. An Axios analysis of the data found a 6% overall decrease in violent crime in the first half of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023. The data appeared to show steep drops in violent crime, including a 41% drop in Columbus, Ohio – the largest decline in the country.

Officers in the city, however, face a starkly different reality.

“Our officers and the citizens they serve are still battling violent crime daily,” Brian Steel, President of the Ninth Capital City Lodge Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) in Ohio, told the Caller. “Recent changes in crime reporting have done little more than create the illusion that all is well.”

Harris and Walz Avoiding the Press Isn’t a Savvy Campaign Strategy — They’re Just Cowards

/4 Comments/in , /by

The New Republic, a publication I can vaguely recall from my youth (when people last cared about it), is saying the quiet part out loud: “Kamala Harris Doesn’t Need Policy to Win.”

This might be a true statement, but coming from the media, Kamala’s policy, or lack thereof, ought to be examined as a matter of public interest. Which is to say that the question they should be asking is not whether Kamala can win an election without talking about policy but whether she should.

Kamala Harris still doesn’t have a single policy position listed on her website. Even Mark Penn, a former top adviser to Hillary Clinton, is appalled:

One interview. One debate. Some rah rah stump speech you read over and over. And voila you have a 50 per cent chance of being president.

Good gig if you can get it. No 3 debates. No 2 years of primaries, coalition building, no detailed policy development, and no daily press briefings. Or tests of leadership.

Desperate Democrats Are Pushing Yet Another Version of the Russia Collusion Hoax

/3 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration’s announcement this week that the Justice Department is taking action against alleged Kremlin-run websites and Russian state media employees as part of an effort to crack down on Russian “misinformation” ahead of the election should raise red flags — huge, obvious red flags.

The biggest red flag is the timing of the indictment and accompanying announcement, just as mail-in ballots in some states are sent out and two weeks before in-person voting begins in some states. The only possible reason for the DOJ to announce this now, and to frame it as a Russian election meddling scheme designed to boost former President Donald Trump, is to paint Trump and his supporters as agents of a hostile foreign power, or at the very least to imply that Trump’s support is fake, paid for by Moscow.

In other words, the timing of the indictment itself represents an egregious form of election meddling by our own Justice Department, whose longstanding policy is not to file indictments that could potentially influence an election. Yet that’s the entire purpose of the indictment announced this week.

We’ve seen this playbook before from Democrats. Hand-waving about “Russian disinformation” and “election interference” by the DOJ and the U.S. intelligence community is of course a well-worn election interference tactic — and arguably a far more potent than anything that’s ever come from Moscow.

First it was the outlandish claim in 2016 that Donald Trump was actually a secret Russian agent and that he colluded with Moscow to win the White House. An entire FBI investigation was based on the discredited and patently ridiculous Steele dossier. The initial election meddling allegation was based on nothing more than $100,000 or so in Facebook ads purchased by Russian entities with the aim of sowing division among the American electorate. And from that thin reed, an entire narrative emerged that Russia not only meddled in our election but that Trump colluded with Moscow in the effort.

Russians Appear to Gun Down Surrendering Ukrainian Soldiers, Disturbing Drone Footage Shows

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russian troops appeared to ruthlessly shoot dead three Ukrainian soldiers who had surrendered on their knees in a disturbing front-lines execution captured in drone footage, according to a report Friday.

The soldiers had placed their hands on their heads on a road after their trench was overtaken near the war-torn city of Pokrovsk in late August, according to Ukrainian drone footage obtained by CNN.

Seconds later, they’re shown suddenly falling to the ground face-first as dust rises — a sign Russian troops had opened fire instead of taking them prisoner, according to the outlet. . .

“If prisoners of war surrender, if they show that they surrender, if they are without weapons in their hands, then summary execution is a war crime,” Andriy Kostin, the prosecutor general of Ukraine, told CNN.

The incident is part of a pattern of harrowing executions in recent months — and is an example of the Russian military’s relentlessly brutal tactics as they advance in Ukraine’s eastern region, Ukrainian officials told the outlet.
