The U.S. Is Basically Facing World War III — But Biden & Co. Aren’t Acting Like It

/9 Comments/in , , /by

Gen. Omar Bradley is often credited with the saying, “Amateurs talk strategy. Professionals talk logistics.” The Biden administration does neither.

In September 2022, we argued that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “Arsenals of Evil” — North Korea and Iran — couldn’t help the Kremlin retrieve its faltering position in Ukraine. . .

The two rogue states, each as anti-American as it gets, are providing Putin with drones, artillery and cruise missiles to defeat the United States and our NATO allies in Ukraine, all while pursuing their nuclear weapons programs unabated.

To underscore the extent to which America has fallen behind, Gen. Michael E. Kurilla, head of US Central Command, testified before Congress that “the Russians are firing five times as many artillery shells as the Ukrainians.” . . .

Russia is outproducing the US and NATO — churning out 250,000 artillery munitions per month, while NATO’s artillery coalition, led by France and the Czech Republic, is forced to scrounge on the open market to secure a one-time purchase of 800,000 rounds.

Gordon Ramsay’s Pub Taken Over by Squatters: ‘Absolute Nightmare Scenario’

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Gordon Ramsay once said he doesn’t “run restaurants that are out of control” — but that’s apparently not the case at one of his London eateries.

A swarm of squatters have shacked up inside the celebrity chef’s $16.1 million pub — using Ramsay’s own kitchen appliances to barricade themselves inside, according to a report.

Shocking photographs taken by The Sun show the “professional squatters” holed up inside York & Albany pub, which the “Hell’s Kitchen” host was about to sign over to new partners in a multi-million dollar deal.

One person was seen barefoot and sprawled across on a black leather sofa inside the restaurant, with their personal belongings and debris, including empty wine bottles, strewn across the floor.

What appears to be a filthy plush dog toy is seen tossed on the floor near the swanky front bar that months earlier had been adorned with fresh flowers and pricey cocktails. (Read more from “Gordon Ramsay’s Pub Taken Over by Squatters: ‘Absolute Nightmare Scenario’” HERE)

Trump, Johnson Link Arms in a Move to Require Proof of Citizenship to Vote

/3 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Donald Trump on Friday projected unity and vowed to push election integrity legislation requiring every voter to prove they are a U.S. citizen.

Speaking at a joint press conference at Mr. Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate, they said something must be done to ensure the nation’s elections are on the up-and-up and to stop illegal immigrants from casting ballots that could swing elections.

“We cannot wait for widespread fraud to occur,” Mr. Johnson said.

The Lousiana Republican said a vote on the measure would show voters where elected leaders stand on the issue.

“You will see Republicans stand for election integrity,” he said. “Democrats are going to have to go on the record.” (Read more from “Trump, Johnson Link Arms in a Move to Require Proof of Citizenship to Vote” HERE)

Did CNN Really Just Say This About OJ Simpson?

/3 Comments/in , /by

CNN continues to promote division in the United States and encourage anti-whiteness, starting with the network saying shocking things about the death of OJ Simpson.

CNN contributor Ashley Allison tried to justify Simpson’s acquittal by pulling the race card.

The former Obama administration sparked outrage after claiming that OJ Simpson “represented something for the black community— particularly because there were two white people who had been killed.”

Allison admitted that she cheered and was happy to find out that Simpson was going to walk free after allegedly killing his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

“And the history around how black people had been persecuted during slavery. There were just so many layers,” she continued. “And I guess I’ll just close with this. There was racial tension then, there is racial tension now. It might not be the backdrop of the Trump campaign, but until this country is ready to actually have an honest conversation about the racial dynamics from our origin story until today, we will always have moments like O.J. Simpson that manifest, and our country will always be divided if we don’t actually deal with the issue of race.”

Video Appears to Show Reality Star in Excruciating Pain After Alleged Knife and Acid Attack

/6 Comments/in , /by

“So You Think You Can Dance” alum Korra Obidi shared a horrifying video showing the aftermath of an alleged attack by a knife-wielding stranger Thursday in London.

The video showed the Nigerian dancer gasping for breath as she told fans someone threw acid on her face and injured her with a knife. She was crouched on the ground, as others around her called for assistance. An apparent bloody knife lied on the ground next to Obidi as she frantically splashed her face with Coca Cola in an attempt to stop her face from burning.

“My face is burning!” she gasped as she tried to catch her breath.

“Can I have some Coke to wash it, please?” she asked an onlooker. Obidi splashed the beverage onto her face repeatedly while the camera rolled on.

“Higher, up here — you’ve got some blood up here,” a female near her said. “I’ve got blood!” gasped Obidi, as she splashed the beverage onto the area.

“The knife is still here,” a man said, seemingly as he was speaking to police on the phone.

GOP Senate Candidate Kari Lake Under Fire for Abortion Law Flip-Flop

/2 Comments/in , /by

Republican Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake is facing criticism from various quarters following her apparent reversal on Arizona’s strict Civil War-era abortion law. The controversy emerged during a visit to the University of Arizona, where Lake was pressed on her shifting stance by attendees, leading to a heated exchange.

Lake’s evolution on the abortion law has drawn scrutiny from both local and national observers. Initially expressing support for the law in 2022, she later changed her position after the state Supreme Court upheld the ban, advocating for its repeal instead. This abrupt change has left many questioning Lake’s consistency and commitment to her beliefs.

During the event hosted by the College Republicans, Lake defended her pro-life stance but acknowledged the political realities surrounding the law’s fate.

Lake’s attempt to justify her stance did little to quell the controversy, with attendees and critics alike questioning her sincerity and credibility.

The backlash against Lake has been intensified by her opponents, who are using her past statements to challenge her integrity. Democratic Arizona Rep. Ruben Gallego, for instance, highlighted Lake’s previous endorsement of the abortion ban on social media, accusing her of inconsistency and opportunism.

Supreme Court to Review Feds’ Use of Obstruction Charge Against Jan. 6 Defendants, Trump

/1 Comment/in , /by

The fate of hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants lies with the Supreme Court, which will hear a case Tuesday arguing that the obstruction law under which they were charged was never meant to apply to the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

If the justices rule that prosecutors have stretched the law too far, then it could also help former President Donald Trump, who faces conspiracy charges under another section of the same law.

At issue is a law passed in 2002 in the wake of the Enron scandal and aimed at giving the government new tools to go after those who obstruct an official proceeding.

The Biden administration says the Electoral College vote count taking place at the Capitol in 2021 while the mob raged counts as an official proceeding.

Joseph Fischer, one of those convicted under the law, says the statute was intended to snare people who try to destroy evidence of corporate fraud cases, such as document shredding. What went on at the Capitol that day falls far outside that, his lawyers argue. (Read more from “Supreme Court to Review Feds’ Use of Obstruction Charge Against Jan. 6 Defendants, Trump” HERE)

Eighty-Six House Republicans Vote for Warrantless Surveillance of Americans

/7 Comments/in , /by

Eighty-six House Republicans on Friday voted against an amendment to require a warrant for surveillance of Americans’ communications.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) proposed an amendment to the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA), a bill that would reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Section 702 is a law that is meant to target foreign adversaries, but often surveils Americans’ private communications without a warrant.

The amendment tied at 212-212 in the House; a tie in the House means that the measure fails. Although Biggs’s amendment did receive support from a majority of Republicans, 86 House Republicans failed to support the proposal.

A warrant requirement is overwhelmingly backed by Americans. A YouGov poll commissioned by FreedomWorks and Demand Progress found that 76 percent of Americans support a warrant requirement, while only 12 percent oppose.

Only one member of House Republican leadership voted with the majority of the House Republican Conference on warrants requirements: House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN). Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), and House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) voted against the warrant requirement.

Biden’s Poor Polling May Be as Good as It Gets for Him

/3 Comments/in , /by

Although it hardly looks like it, President Joe Biden may already be peaking in his race to keep the White House. His biggest internal threat remains: his inability to campaign effectively. And his biggest external threat looms: Though the country seems to expect a soft landing from inflation’s heights, this week’s economic data prove Biden’s economy has nowhere to go but down.

When Biden survived his State of the Union speech, Democrats cheered their president reaching the starting line as though he had crossed the finish line. But his challenge over the next seven months will be far greater. The campaign trail will be demanding for Biden, with many speeches before real audiences, press conferences (if he agrees to them), and debates (if he accepts). Biden will have to do these and more — and do them over and over again. And at the first mistake, the questions that Democrats insist have been laid to rest will come flooding back.

All these questions will come in environments where Biden is weakest and has failed to perform throughout his career. That’s why Biden’s people have kept him out of sight as much as possible for nearly five years. Remember: as soon as Biden clinched the Democratic nomination in 2020, he retired to his basement. And throughout his first term, he has avoided the press except for all but the simplest, friendliest, and heavily controlled of settings — as his March 2021 ESPN interview was recently revealed to be.

Politically, though, Biden has no choice but to go out. Unlike in 2020, when Biden held sizable leads and events were largely playing his way and he could play it safe, now he must make up ground. As of April 11, he trails (by almost 3 percentage points overall and in every state but Pennsylvania) in the all-important battleground states that will decide the Electoral College vote; he trails by almost 2 percentage points in the five-way race that this election will likely be; and even in a head-to-head rematch with former President Donald Trump, he is slightly behind.

But even if he agrees to start campaigning, Biden’s biggest liability will be one he can’t control: the economic uncertainty that his own policies have created. (Read more from “Biden’s Poor Polling May Be as Good as It Gets for Him” HERE)

‘Civil War’ Review: Ridiculously Dopey, Anti-Trump Snuff Film

/2 Comments/in , /by

. . .I mean, Civil War is dumb—as in first-draft dumb. Garland directed exactly one good movie — Ex Machina — followed by two flops. So, it’s beyond me that no one told him how much work his script still needed.

Anyway, so I’m sitting there wondering why Civil War felt so familiar, and then it hit me—Elysium! The dumb in Elysium (2013). Remember how all that dumb rained down like hailstones the size of car batteries? Oh, yes, I’d been here before—a sweaty, desperate, left-wing wankathon undermined by smug plot holes that scream: This will hit so many left-wing sweet spots, there’s no reason to bother with logic or reality. . .

The entertainment media, filmmakers, and stars are all lying to you (big surprise). The idea Civil War is not partisan is nothing less than a cinematic-roofie slipped into a publicity campaign so the Beautiful People can sit back and laugh, knowing the opening minutes bend us Trumptards right over the seats. Civil War opens with the Evil White President with the Great Hair and Red Tie using this cadence to spread a lie: “Some are already calling it the greatest victory in the history of military campaigns.” . . .

Civil War’s biggest problem is that there is no courage of conviction. Thirty years ago, an Oliver Stone or Spike Lee would’ve directed the hell out of this, not caring who got offended. Garland’s screenplay is a pile of chickenshit. Instead of giving the story the energy of a strident point of view, he’s like a boxer hiding behind the ref, throwing the occasional sucker punch.

And without a declared point of view, you never know who to root for. Has President GreatHairRedTie (Nick Offerman) refused to leave office for good reason—to hold the union together? (After we’re told the president disbanded the FBI and shoots journalists on sight, I was sure he was the hero.) On the other side, there’s the Western Forces (WF), a military alliance between California and Texas to take President GreatHairRedTie down. But we’re never told what they stand for other than murdering Trump. (Read more from “‘Civil War’ Review: Ridiculously Dopey, Anti-Trump Snuff Film” HERE)
