Biden’s Potential Criminal Referrals Loom as Impeachment Prospects Diminish

/1 Comment/in , /by

The House lawmaker leading an investigation into President Biden said he’s planning to send criminal referrals against Mr. Biden and others to the Justice Department as it appears increasingly unlikely Republicans will vote to impeach him.

House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer said criminal referrals would provide greater accountability for Mr. Biden than impeachment given the very long odds for a conviction in the Democrat-led Senate.

Republicans eager to hold Mr. Biden accountable for what they believe was an influence-peddling scheme also face the real prospect that the narrowly-led GOP House will not provide the votes to impeach the president.

“He wants to ensure accountability and follow the money,” a panel aide told The Washington Times. “[Mr. Comer] has been pretty clear that at the conclusion of this investigation, the committee is going to issue a report, it will contain criminal referrals, and he will likely introduce legislation as well to combat influence peddling.”

GOP aides said a final report by the Oversight panel and the criminal referrals will target the president, family members and other government officials probed in the months-long inquiry into the president’s involvement in his family’s lucrative business deals.

CNN: Biden Is in ‘Big Trouble’ With This Group of Voters Nationwide

/1 Comment/in , /by

With two candidates considered generally unpopular, 2024 is bound to be a base turnout election; whoever can maximize their base voters the most wins. It’s why Biden’s State of the Union was partisan and rambunctious. It’s why when Biden’s inflationary policies are torching our wallets, the president will be talking about abortion. Single, college-educated women are what’s keeping the 2024 race from being a blowout—Biden cannot afford to lose the only demographic that appears to be animated by the dementia-ridden president.

With young voters, Arab Americans, blacks, Hispanics, and labor unions threatening to abandon the president, Biden is reportedly irritated and anxious about his 2024 prospects. He’s not leading in the polls, and his standings in the swing states are troublesome. Is there plenty of time to turn this around? Sure, but Biden isn’t a normal candidate. He’s beset by his age, frailty, and failing memory. (Read more from “CNN: Biden Is in ‘Big Trouble’ With This Group of Voters Nationwide” HERE)

Man Facing Charges for Displaying ‘Intimidating’ Signs on His Property

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Lots of free speech fights have erupted in recent years in America. There have been all of those people, and groups, censored by social media because the Biden administration disliked their opinions. . .

But now a speech fight has erupted in the unlikely place of Evanston, Wyoming, where a man is facing a felony charge for posting signs criticizing his neighbor, who had filed a complaint about the condition of his property.

The charge comes because, a report in the Cowboy State Daily explains, the woman who filed the complaint is a “witness” against her neighbor, and she perceives his comments as “intimidating.” . . .

The messages included, “When did the opinion of one nosey neighbor become enough to violate the rights others by the city?”

Also, “Mind your business,” “Snoby opinion Don’t take …” “Those who matter don’t mind, those who mind don’t matter,” and “You can go F*** Way off!” (Read more from “Man Facing Charges for Displaying ‘Intimidating’ Signs on His Property” HERE)

Biden’s Gaza Aid Scheme Raises Concerns Over U.S. Troop Safety

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s proposal to deploy U.S. troops to construct an artificial port for delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza has sparked concerns among experts, who argue that the plan puts American troops at risk for political reasons.

During his recent State of the Union address, Biden announced the intention to establish an artificial dock and pier system to facilitate the delivery of essential supplies to Gaza, which has been grappling with dire humanitarian conditions. However, questions have arisen regarding the administration’s strategy to ensure the safety of the approximately 1,000 U.S. troops involved in the mission.

Critics suggest that the Biden administration’s decision may be influenced by political considerations, particularly in response to pressure from segments of the Democratic Party critical of U.S. support for Israel amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. Concerns have been raised about the rushed nature of the plan and its potential implications for the safety and security of U.S. troops operating in a volatile region.

Experts have highlighted the risks associated with deploying troops to construct an artificial port in Gaza, including the threat of attacks from militant groups such as Hamas. The proximity of U.S. troops to potential conflict zones raises concerns about their vulnerability to missile attacks and other security threats.

Furthermore, questions have been raised about the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed aid delivery mechanism, particularly in light of logistical challenges and security considerations. The lack of clarity surrounding key aspects of the plan, such as the distribution of aid and coordination with local authorities, underscores the need for careful consideration and comprehensive planning.

Biden Administration Advocates for Ceasefire Resolution on Israel at UN, Russia and China Veto

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration’s efforts to secure a resolution urging a temporary ceasefire in Gaza were thwarted as Russia and China exercised their veto power.

The proposed resolution, aimed at pressuring Israel into accepting an immediate cessation of hostilities in Gaza, faced staunch opposition from Russia and China during the council’s deliberations. Despite efforts to garner international support for the measure, the resolution failed to pass, marking a significant setback in diplomatic efforts to address the ongoing conflict in the region.

According to reports from The Times of Israel, the resolution, which was put forward by the United States, sought to broker a ceasefire agreement as part of a broader initiative to facilitate negotiations between Israel and Hamas:

The United Nations Security Council on Friday failed to pass a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as part of a hostage deal after Russia and China vetoed the measure proposed by the United States.

In response to the veto, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his government’s commitment to taking decisive action against Hamas, with or without international support. Despite the setback at the Security Council, the Biden administration remains committed to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict and has pledged to continue diplomatic efforts.

WH Responds to Illegal Alien Invasion by Blaming Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration has responded to the viral video showing a large group of illegal immigrants charging Texas National Guard troops at the U.S. southern border on Thursday, telling The Daily Caller that former President Donald Trump is to blame for the “chaos.”

Video captured by The New York Post showed dozens of migrants overrunning National Guard troops who were stationed at the border in El Paso, Texas. The Post reported that around 600 migrants were illegally trying to enter the U.S. when the group of what appeared to be all men broke through razor wire and began shoving the soldiers. . .

“When the former President told Congressional Republicans to block the bipartisan border security agreement – he said to blame him for it. Well he got his wish, and the result was chaos after Governor Abbott’s Operational Lone Star and razorwire were overrun yesterday,” the statement added. “While we cannot comment on individual cases, anyone who does not have a legal basis to remain in the United States is promptly removed.”

Last month, House Republicans rejected a bill pushed by President Joe Biden and approved by the Senate that aimed to address certain border security issues. The Republicans’ rejection of the legislation came after Trump said “Only a fool, or a Radical Left Democrat” would vote for the bill.

French Senators Call For Ban On Child Transgender Medical Services

/1 Comment/in , /by

A group of senators in France is calling for a ban on transgender medical services for children.

Led by Senator Jacqueline Eustache-Brinio of the French political party, The Republicans, the group released a report Tuesday sounding the alarm about children receiving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender surgeries which can mean double mastectomies and genital surgery.

The lengthy 340-page report calls medically transitioning minors “one of the greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine” and accuses transgender activists of pushing medical gender transition on children through aggressive social media campaigns.

France’s High Authority of Health is expected to make a recommendation on transgender medical services for minors soon, the European Conservative reported.

However, the French senators see the issue as urgent and said they plan to propose a bill before the summer to ban puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender surgeries for minors being treated for “gender dysphoria.”

Motion Filed by Greene to Remove Speaker Johnson Following Approval of Mega Spending Legislation in House

/0 Comments/in , /by

Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson on Friday after the House passed a $1.2 trillion spending bill that includes dozens of left-wing earmarks but no Republican voters’ priorities. Greene urged Johnson not to allow the bill a floor vote, calling it a “complete departure” from the party’s core values.

“No Republican in the House of Representatives in good conscience can vote for this bill. It is a complete departure from all of our principles, especially if you call yourself ‘pro-life’,” Green said on the House floor.

“This is not a Republican bill. This is a Chuck Schumer Democrat-controlled bill coming from the House majority that is supposed to be controlled by Republicans, but yet our majority has been completely handed over to Democrats,” Greene continued.

The 1,012-page bill passed the House 286-134, with 101 Republicans voting yes.

House Republicans Investigate CIA Interference in Hunter Biden Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans are demanding answers from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) after a whistleblower came forward with allegations of agency interference to thwart investigations into Hunter Biden.

On Thursday, the GOP chairmen of the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees sent CIA Director William Burns a letter seeking records related to claims the CIA acted with the Department of Justice to protect President Joe Biden and his son.

“The information we recently received from the whistleblower seems to corroborate our concerns about DOJ’s deviations from standard process to provide Hunter Biden with preferential treatment,” lawmakers wrote. “According to the whistleblower, in August 2021, when IRS investigators were preparing to interview Patrick Kevin Morris, an associate of Hunter Biden, the CIA intervened to stop the interview.”

“Two DOJ officials were allegedly summoned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia for a briefing regarding Mr. Morris,” lawmakers added. “At that meeting, it was communicated that Mr. Morris could not be a witness during the investigation.”

Army Seeking Retirees to Come back to Work Amid Manpower Crisis

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Army is seeking to bring back retired soldiers to fill critical manpower shortages, according to a service-wide directive published this week.

The All Army Activities (ALARACT) document describes how Army retirees can find and apply for open positions and aims to maintain a sufficient number of personnel to fill all of the Army’s authorized positions. The message comes as the service has publicly acknowledged struggles to balance a shrinking workforce with the demands of sprawling global mission sets as recruitment woes persist for a third year in a row.

“A review of commands’ requests for [the] fill of authorized personnel vacancies, in conjunction with current Army manning guidance, prompted review of how the Army can fill key and critical position vacancies,” the document stated, outlining the current situation. “The retiree recall program can be an effective tool to fill personnel shortages of authorized regular Army vacancies that are considered key and essential.”

It was unclear whether the Army had already identified manning shortages to be filled or was issuing the message in anticipation of future need. The Army did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s comments by deadline.

Any Army, Reserve or National Guard soldier who qualifies as retired or will soon be retired — meaning they achieved at least 20 years of service — and anyone receiving retired pay is eligible to apply, the message states. Neither age nor disability, alone, would exclude a soldier from joining depending on the disability, and they would still have to meet the Army’s health requirements.
