New Docs Shed Light on Air Force’s ‘Goal’ to Reduce ‘White Male Population’ Joining Officer Ranks

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Air Force finally handed over a trove of documents pertaining to its sweeping “goal” of reducing the number of white male applicants in a popular officer program after spending months stonewalling requests for their release.

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman C.Q. Brown — at the time the highest-ranking member of the Air Force — issued a memorandum in 2022 that the branch was updating its racial and gender demographic goals for applicants seeking to become officers, in a bid to prioritize “diversity and inclusion.” Internal documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation include a slideshow from 2022 where the Air Force outlines racial and gender quotas and details how it hopes to “achieve” a reduced number of white males in its Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) officer’s applicant program.

The documents reflect the Biden-Harris Pentagon’s intense focus on implementing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies in the armed forces, even as the military continues to combat dwindling morale among its rank-and-file, recruiting and retention shortfalls and low pay.

“The American people are rightly concerned that, at a time when our country is facing dangerous and increasing threats throughout the world, the Air Force is focused on recruitment efforts based on arbitrary racial diversity goals — not merit or increasing the force’s lethality,” James Fitzpatrick, director of the Center To Advance Security In America (CASA), told the DCNF.

CASA requested records regarding the Air Force’s new officer applicant standards through a federal transparency request, called a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in 2023. At the time, the Air Force said it couldn’t find any records, according to a letter obtained by the DCNF.

Gallup: Significant Swing in Trump and Harris Favorability

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new national survey from Gallup contains positive news for the Trump campaign, and concerning data for Team Kamala. While the poll does not test the head-to-head presidential matchup, it does measure voters’ impressions of the two major parties’ nominees. This poll was in the field for the better part of two weeks, spanning both pre- and post-debate dates. Compared to August, when Kamala Harris was riding a wave of media adulation, this data set shows clear erosion in her favorability ratings. But if this were simply a product of the so-called ‘sugar high’ wearing off, that wouldn’t necessarily explain the corresponding gains Trump has made on the same metrics. Her favorability faltering wouldn’t guarantee that his standing would move at all – but it has:

Trump is somewhat unpopular, with a (-7) net favorability rating. Harris is more unpopular, at (-10). Trump has seen a seven-point net gain on these measures since August, while Harris has tumbled by eight points. Her unfavorable rating is up five points over the last month. Notably, among independents, Trump is underwater by nine points, while Harris is at a very weak (-25) with fully 60 percent unfavorability among this important group. Part of this might be because many voters aren’t getting what they want from Harris, even among some friendly audiences:

Reporters Tonya Mosley of NPR, Gerren Keith Gaynor of TheGrio and Eugene Daniels of Politico repeatedly pressed Harris for direct answers on other topics, interrupting her multiple times when she veered away from the subject or rambled. She dodged a potentially contentious moment when Mosley stopped her during an answer about gun control. The audience of about 150, including 100 college students, began to signal discomfort when Harris avoided answering a question about whether she would issue an executive order to create a commission to study reparations. Ultimately, she said it would come down to Congress, an answer that seemed to deflate some of the attendees. Some members of the audience also signaled displeasure when she gave an indirect answer about whether she would continue the Biden administration’s approach to the Israel-Hamas war.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell Blames Influx of Illegal Aliens for Rising Unemployment Rate

/2 Comments/in , /by

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell blamed the migrant crisis for the nation’s growing unemployment after cutting the benchmark interest rate by 0.5 percentage point on Wednesday for the first time since early days of COVID-19.

“If you’re having millions of people come into the labor force, then — and you’re creating 100,000 jobs — you’re going to see unemployment go up,” Powell told reporters, answering a question about the nation’s current monthly job creation.

“So it really depends on what’s the trend underlying the volatility of people coming into the country.”

“We understand there’s been quite an influx across the borders, and that has actually been one of the things that’s allowed the unemployment to rise,” he said, according to the Wall Street Journal.

“And the other thing is just the slower hiring rate, which is something we also watch carefully. So it does depend on what’s happening on the supply side.” (Read more from “Fed Chair Jerome Powell Blames Influx of Illegal Aliens for Rising Unemployment Rate” HERE)

Tim Walz’s Crazy Wife Goes Viral for Looking and Sounding Like the Wicked Witch of the West

/1 Comment/in , , /by

There’s something seriously off with the Walz family. These people aren’t normal—in fact, they might just be the weirdest family in America. Mr. Walz, better known as “Tampon Tim” for his bizarre obsession with giving young boys free tampons, is a chubby, “aww shucks” Marxist. His focus is gender-confused kids, all so he can rack up progressive brownie points to advance his twisted and radical political career. He’s driven Minnesota into the ground, turning it into a criminal safe haven where lawlessness reigns with an iron fist. Not to mention, he’s a stolen valor coward who has lied about his military career for decades.

And if that’s not bad enough, we’ve also got his insane wife, Gwen, who admitted she loved the smell of “burning tires” during the George Floyd riots—riots that killed 20 people and caused billions in damages, destroying homes and livelihoods. But hey, at least she had fun huffing rubber fumes, right?

Gwen might just be more unbearable than Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris combined, if you can believe that. Her disturbing bloodlust for violence and criminals might just explain why her husband lets the bad guys run wild in Minnesota.

We actually covered a story about Gwen’s bizarre fetish for violence and criminal activity.

Revolver:

Just when you think Harris and Walz are the most radical extremists to crawl out of the DC swamp, someone in their progressive orbit slithers along to outdo them. And who is this ghoulish radical? None other than Mrs. Walz, who’s doing a bang-up job of burying her husband’s chances of being installed in the White House, thanks to her obsession with all things violent.

Once again, Mrs. Walz is caught on camera promoting violence and bad guys with a glimmer in her eye.

Secret Service Probes Elon Musk’s ‘Joke’ About Assassination Attempts

/1 Comment/in , /by

The U.S. Secret Service is reportedly probing Elon Musk’s X post pointing out that “no one” is “trying to assassinate” President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris following two attempted assassinations on former President Donald Trump’s life. Musk later deleted his post, claiming it was a joke.

On Sunday, after Trump survived the second assassination attempt on his life within the span of two months, an X account asked, “Why they want to kill Donald Trump?” to which Musk replied, “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala ????”

After facing backlash, Musk deleted his X post and said that it had been intended as a joke.

In response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the Secret Service told Bloomberg that the records the agency has regarding Musk’s X post were “compiled for law enforcement purposes” and are being withheld because “disclosure could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.”

Secret Service spokesperson Nate Herring told the outlet that the agency “is aware of the social media post made by Elon Musk.” (Read more from “Secret Service Probes Elon Musk’s ‘Joke’ About Assassination Attempts” HERE)

Harris Takes a Blow So Brutal, Not Even Her Media BFFs Can Spin It for Her

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Team Harris just took a massive hit, and it came straight from American workers. The Teamsters released their polling data, and it’s bad news for Harris, Walz, and the entire Democrat Party. According to a new presidential poll, Teamsters Union members don’t like Kamala Harris one bit. In fact, they’re overwhelmingly backing President Trump in what’s shaping up to be a landslide. And who can blame them? Harris wants to end fracking. Look at what happened to those pipelines—destroyed. Jobs gone. Communities left with moms and dads out of work. Comrade Kamala is a one-woman job-wrecking crew, and the working class in this country know it and are flatly rejecting her.

Just think about it—Kamala Harris met with the Teamsters just a few days ago. Clearly, that meeting didn’t go well.

The results of this poll were so overwhelmingly anti-Harris and pro-Trump that even the Union bigwigs couldn’t endorse Kamala. For once, they’re listening to their members. And the fact that the Teamsters are refusing to endorse Kamala Harris speaks volumes. They’ve backed a Democrat candidate every election since 1996—until now. Needless to say, the media and DC swamp are in a complete tizzy.

Shame on the Teamsters for not endorsing President Trump like they should have. But even a non-endorsement for Kamala Harris is huge. President Trump knows how monumental this is, and he’s already spoken out on this historic moment.

Hezbollah Walkie-Talkies Explode in Second Day of Surprise Attacks

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. Hezbollah walkie-talkies exploded across Lebanon on Wednesday in a second round of electronic communications device explosions just one day after 12 people were killed and thousands were injured in similar explosions Tuesday.

Lebanese media reported several explosions in Beirut and Dahiyeh, a Hezbollah-dominated suburb of the capital. Pictures and videos posted on social media showed large fires resulting from the explosions, which were apparently hidden in devices other than the pagers used in Tuesday’s attack.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry said that nine were killed and over 300 wounded in Wednesday’s explosions. Both numbers are expected to grow.

One picture showed what appeared to be a detonated walkie-talkie. (Read more from “Hezbollah Walkie-Talkies Explode in Second Day of Surprise Attacks” HERE)

19 Iranian Revolutionary Guardsmen Die in Syria From Exploding Pagers: Report

By Daily Caller. Exploding pagers killed nineteen Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members in Syria, The Jerusalem Post reported Wednesday, citing Al-Hadath, a Saudi news outlet.

Another 150 guardsmen were injured in the detonations, the outlet reported, citing Army Radio.

Thousands of people were wounded in pager explosions Tuesday in Lebanon and Syria, Lebanon’s public health minister stated, CBS News reported. 12 people — including Hezbollah members and a pair of children — were reportedly killed in the attack attributed to Israel, according to the minister. The alleged attack that used their own pagers was the “biggest security breach” since the terrorist organization started to fire projectiles into Israel in 2023, a high-ranking Hezbollah commander admitted to Reuters.

Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon was also injured in Tuesday’s explosions, according to CBS News.

“On September 17, Hezbollah announced the deaths of 12 fighters, including the son of a Hezbollah MP,” Joe Truzman, a senior analyst at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, tweeted. “While the Lebanese organization did not detail their deaths, most were killed in the Israeli pager operation that targeted Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria.”

‘At Any Moment!’ Russia ‘Fully Ready’ to Detonate Nuclear Bomb in Arctic After Putin’s UK Threat

/1 Comment/in , /by

Russia is ready to conduct nuclear tests in the Arctic, according to a senior military official as Vladimir Putin pushes on with more drills.

Rear Admiral Andrei Sinitsyn, director of a former Soviet test site in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, said the facilities are prepared for immediate use if ordered.

Speaking to the state-owned Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Sinitsyn said: “The test site is ready to resume full-scale testing activities… The laboratory and testing facilities are ready. The personnel are ready.”

This announcement comes amid heightened tensions between Russia and the West, with Moscow signalling its nuclear capabilities as a deterrent.

Sinitsyn claimed that foreign intelligence agencies were monitoring the site, which he interpreted as “likely sign of a concern over nuclear tests”. (Read more from “‘At Any Moment!’ Russia ‘Fully Ready’ to Detonate Nuclear Bomb in Arctic After Putin’s UK Threat” HERE)

Woman Uses Chip Implanted in Her Hand to Pay at Whole Foods, Calls It ‘The Coolest Thing Ever’

/3 Comments/in , /by

The internet claims that humanity is either taking another step in evolution or going too far with chip implants. While skull chip implants, like the ones from Elon Musk’s Neuralink, have grabbed headlines, one TikTok creator went viral for a chip implanted in her hand. Burgundy Waller, @chipgirlhere, has a radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip implanted in her hand. One of her videos of her paying with the chip has left the internet in shock.

The dog mom, ‘bonus mom’, law student and wife has explained in her videos that she was inspired by her ‘techie husband’, to get the chip. Burgundy shared that she installed the chip between her index finger and thumb back in 2020. At the time, the chip was meant to be a replacement for keys to unlock the front door and closets of her smart home. According to Govtech, RFID chips are identifying transponders that carry a unique identification number which allows them to tag or store specific user data.

However, she updated the technology to perform a plethora of actions and transactions. Apart from unlocking smart locks, the chip now allows her to shop without a credit card.

In a clip, which now appears to be deleted from her account, Burgandy shows how making payments using her hand worked. In the video, which was reshared on TikTok by another user @swiftness0427, Burgandy uses the chip at a ‘Whole Foods’ grocery store.

She is seen hovering her hand over a payment scanner at the checkout, after which her payment goes through in seconds. It appears to be the first time that Burgandy used the chip to pay as she says “This is the coolest thing ever.”

Arizona Officials Suddenly Discover 97,000 Registered Voters May Not Have Provided Proof of Citizenship After All

/1 Comment/in , /by

This week, Arizona officials announced that nearly 100,000 registered voters may not be able to vote in state and local elections this November after they may not have provided proof of U.S. citizenship as required by state law.

The apparent “flaw” in the voter registration process in Arizona was discovered last week, Maricopa County recorder Stephen Richer said in lengthy X post on Tuesday, even though it had been around for decades.

The issue involves a complicated nexus of state and federal law and rules governing an Arizona driver’s license.

Arizona has a unique system by which prospective voters in federal elections may register using a federal form that does not require documented proof of citizenship. Documentation is required, however, for those casting ballots in state and local elections.

Since 1996, those wishing to obtain a standard Arizona driver’s license have had to show proof of U.S. citizenship. Green-card holders are given an alternate license.
