‘She Didn’t Sing’: Media Ripped for Promoting Harris Event as Beyoncé Performance

/0 Comments/in , /by

Critics ripped the establishment media for inaccurately promoting Beyoncé’s appearance on Friday at a Harris campaign event as a performance in which she would apparently sing for attendees.

The Harris event, held in Huston, did not feature Beyoncé singing or dancing.

Instead, Beyoncé only spoke to supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris, disappointing fans who expected the pop star “to perform at Kamala Harris Rally in Houston,” as the Huffington Post reported, along with many other outlets, such as NBC News, MSNBC, Vanity Fair, and USA Today.

Jason Miller, a senior adviser to former President Donald Trump, questioned why the media misled voters, while senior adviser Tim Murtaugh suggested the media did so to create a larger crowed than Harris could typically draw.

“But she didn’t sing, disappointing all the people who came to see her (and not to see Harris). Why did they lie? It couldn’t have been to build a crowd, could it?” he posted:

Radical Arizona Ballot Measure Aims To Eliminate 15-Week Abortion Ban

/0 Comments/in , /by

Arizona voters will soon decide on Proposition 139, a proposed amendment that would enshrine the right to abortion throughout pregnancy in the state constitution. This measure, backed by a coalition including the ACLU of Arizona, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona, and NARAL Arizona, aims to eliminate the current 15-week abortion restriction.

If passed, Proposition 139 would declare that “every individual has a fundamental right to abortion” and would limit state interference with this right. It specifies that the state cannot deny or restrict access to abortion before fetal viability unless there is a compelling state interest achieved by the least restrictive means. Additionally, after fetal viability, abortions would still be permitted if deemed necessary by a healthcare professional for the life or health of the pregnant individual.

Currently, Arizona law restricts abortions after 15 weeks, with exceptions for the life of the mother and serious medical emergencies. This law was recently complicated when the Arizona Supreme Court allowed an 1864 near-total abortion ban to take effect, though Governor Katie Hobbs signed a bill to repeal it shortly after.

Opponents of Proposition 139, including Arizona Right to Life, argue that the amendment could undermine parental consent laws, allowing minors to obtain abortions without parental knowledge. They also raise concerns about potential exploitation of vulnerable individuals, particularly given Arizona’s status as a border state.

The measure requires a simple majority to pass in the upcoming election.

Insane: Tim Walz Falsely Claims Trump Rally Is Nazi Reenactment (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

CLAIM: The Trump rally in Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, is a reenactment of a Nazi rally from the 1930s.

VERDICT: FALSE. The claim is so absurd as to be disqualifying, and suggests a desperate, and losing, campaign.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), speaking to supporters in Las Vegas, Nevada, claimed Sunday that former President Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden was an attempt to reenact a Nazi rally held there in the 1930s.

“Don’t miss on this, go do your Google on this — Donald Trump’s got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden,” he told supporters. “There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden. And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there.”

Walz was citing a conspiracy theory first floated by Democrat strategist James Carville, and repeated by him and former nominee Hillary Clinton. (Read more from “Insane: Tim Walz Falsely Claims Trump Rally Is Nazi Reenactment (VIDEO)” HERE)

‘You’ll Bleep My F Words’: Gretchen Whitmer, Kamala Harris Go To A Bar For Post-Rally Beer

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan went to a bar Saturday after a campaign event and appeared to begin talking about the presidential race when the pair realized press microphones could pick up their conversation.

Whitmer and Harris greeted locals at the bar before they sat to drink a beer and talk while patrons began watching and filming them on smartphones. The video, captured by C-SPAN, shows Whitmer offering to buy the vice president a beer, and Harris telling the bartender she’d have what Whitmer was having, after which the two began cackling.

“Oh, we have microphones in here just listening to everything, I didn’t realize that,” Harris told Whitmer.

“You’ll bleep my F words, I hope,” Whitmer told the reporters. (Read more from “‘You’ll Bleep My F Words’: Gretchen Whitmer, Kamala Harris Go To A Bar For Post-Rally Beer” HERE)

Major Paper Snubs Kamala Harris With Non-Endorsement

/15 Comments/in , /by

The Washington Post will not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president, according to the paper’s editorial board on Friday.

It will be the first time in 36 years that the paper has not endorsed a presidential candidate, a blow to Harris who is already suffering from not being endorsed by the L.A. Times, her hometown paper.

The decision allegedly involved Jeff Bezos, who reportedly ordered the non-endorsement with the early vote trends appearing to favor former President Donald Trump. Bezos, the owner of the paper, has several large contracts with the U.S. government.

NPR’s media correspondent David Folkenflik reported on the decision, which appears to have “shocked” the paper’s left-leaning newsroom:

The editorial page editor, David Shipley, told colleagues that the Post‘s publisher, Will Lewis, would publish a note to readers online early Friday afternoon.

Shipley told colleagues the editorial board was told yesterday by management that there would not be an endorsement. He added that he “owns” this decision. The reason he cited was to create “independent space” where the newspaper does not tell people for whom to vote.

Colleagues were said to be “shocked” and uniformly negative. Post corporate spokespeople have not responded to multiple messages left by NPR on the subject.

Postal Worker Accused of Throwing Ballot, Election Mail Into Woods

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Florida man could face years behind bars, accused of tossing a mail-in ballot and other election-related mail into the woods while serving as a contract U.S. postal worker.

Federal authorities on Friday arrested Ottis McCoy, charging him with discarding over 1,000 pieces of mail instead of delivering them while working his Orlando delivery route on Tuesday. He was charged with stealing, taking or abstracting mail, a criminal offense punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and a prison term of up to five years.

According to an affidavit alongside a criminal complaint filed with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida on Friday, Charles Johnsten, inspector with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), recalled observing a surveillance video of McCoy “throwing large quantities of U.S. Mail into [a] wooded lot.”

Authorities were alerted due to another postal worker becoming suspicious when he helped McCoy load up a van with a large quantity of mail before seeing him return from his route earlier than expected. A tracking device installed on the van later confirmed that McCoy deviated from the route. (Read more from “Postal Worker Accused of Throwing Ballot, Election Mail Into Woods” HERE)

Report: More Than 300 Registrants Confirm They Shouldn’t Be on Nevada’s Voter Rolls

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than 300 individuals listed on Nevada’s voter rolls confirmed they have moved and should not be on the state’s active voter lists, according to a new report.

The revelation was disclosed in a Friday article authored by Citizen Outreach Foundation (COF) President Chuck Muth, whose Pigpen Project has been spearheading efforts to remove potentially ineligible registrants from the Silver State’s voter registration lists. The group utilizes government data to identify these questionable registrations and works with local election officials to ensure accuracy within the voter roll system.

While often seeking guidance on its challenges from Democrat Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar, the COF has faced roadblocks erected by Nevada’s elections chief and his office. Throughout the past year, the secretary has issued memos to local clerks seemingly aimed at stymying the group’s efforts to ensure the state has clean voter rolls.

The situation came to a head on Aug. 27, when Aguilar’s office issued a directive effectively instructing local election officials to stop processing the COF’s affidavits. This prompted the group to file lawsuits last month that sought to force clerks and registrars to comply with their challenges.

While the suits were withdrawn due to technical issues, Muth told The Federalist earlier this week he intends to re-file them after the 2024 general election. (Read more from “Report: More Than 300 Registrants Confirm They Shouldn’t Be on Nevada’s Voter Rolls” HERE)

I Was Giddy When the FBI Raided Mar-a-Lago, but Now I’m Voting for Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

By most metrics, I’d be categorized as a young conservative. I am a 22-year-old college student. I interned for a Republican in the U.S. Senate. I was elected president of my former college’s Republican club. No one would mistake me for a progressive activist.

But if you had asked me a year ago about the 2024 presidential election, I would have told you that I was hopeful the Republican Party would move on from Donald Trump. In fact, I would have supported Joe Biden before backing Trump, even though I did not like much of anything about Biden. . .

I eagerly watched the Jan. 6 Committee hearings. I was excited when New York State Attorney General Letitia James sued Trump for financial fraud. When legal scholars from the Federalist Society wrote that the 14th Amendment barred him from the presidency, I was hopeful he might finally be done for good. When the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, I felt justice might soon be served against the man who had brought our country to the brink. . .

But over the past year, my view of Trump has evolved, and my view of the broader political landscape has also changed. It became clear to me that while Trump is far from perfect, he is not the true existential threat. The existential threat we face comes from the Democrat Party and Kamala Harris.

The Democrat Party is endangering the foundations that hold America together. This threat is multidimensional, but no concern is more immediate than the Democrats’ creation and defense of an immigration system that has completely abandoned integration and favors the interests of newcomers over those of the American people.

Gulf Stream ‘On Verge of Collapse’ as Scientists Warn World To Be ‘Impacted for Centuries’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A vital weather system that moves warm water through the Atlantic Ocean, creating the Gulf Stream, is on the brink of collapse, threatening “catastrophic” cooling across the globe for centuries, some scientists have warned.

More than 40 top climate scientists have penned an open letter warning that a key ocean circulation process in the Atlantic, could be on the brink of failure, threatening the Gulf Stream and other processes that keep Europe warmer.

The Gulf Stream is a warm and Atlantic current following the eastern coast of the US and Canada, before crossing the ocean towards Europe, ensuring the west of the Continent is warmer than it would otherwise be.

In what mirrors the plot of the 2004 film The Day After Tomorrow, the 44 scientists warn that the disaster would stem from the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).

The AMOC effectively moves heat around the Atlantic Ocean. In The Day After Tomorrow the world is thrown into a new ice age after climate change causes the Gulf Stream to collapse. (Read more from “Gulf Stream ‘On Verge of Collapse’ as Scientists Warn World To Be ‘Impacted for Centuries’” HERE)

‘Objectively Outrageous’: Judge Makes Inspiring Decision After Woman Arrested for Criticizing Government Official

/0 Comments/in , /by

Officials in the town of Surprise, Arizona, have been humiliated by a public scolding from a judge in Maricopa County in a case in which they ordered a woman at a public meeting arrested because they didn’t like what she was saying.

The Constitution’s First Amendment, of course, was written in order to protect speech that someone doesn’t like, and in this case the comments were about the ability – or ineptitude – of a tax-paid city official.

Rebekah Anne Massie came to the public meeting to express her displeasure, and got arrested for her words.

Judge Gerald Williams now has dismissed the charges fabricated against Massie, with prejudice, meaning they cannot be refiled, ever. . .

His conclusion was definitive: “IT IS ORDERED THAT this case is dismissed with prejudice, in the interests of justice,” he wrote. “The defendant should not have faced criminal prosecution once for expressing her political views. The court agrees that she should never face criminal prosecution, for expressing her political views on that date, at that time, again. Nor should she be forced to encounter additional attorney feeds should this matter be re-filed…” (Read more from “‘Objectively Outrageous’: Judge Makes Inspiring Decision After Woman Arrested for Criticizing Government Official” HERE)
