Hamas and Islamic Jihad Call for ‘Terror,’ Violence During Ramadan

/0 Comments/in , /by

Leaders of the major Palestinian terror groups have called for Arab states and the Muslim world to engage in “terror” during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan — even as the Biden administration aims for a Ramadan truce in Gaza.

Jerusalem Post reported Sunday:

Palestinian Islamic Jihad is calling for Ramadan to be a “month of terror” and seeks to escalate attacks in the West Bank and Gaza. In a recent speech, Abu Hamza, the spokesman for PIJ’s Al-Quds Brigades, said he wants Arab countries in the region and pro-Iranian groups to continue to “unify” various arenas and fronts against Israel.

This is the latest indication that terrorist groups plan to seek an escalation in hostilities over the next month. Hamza’s remarks were published by Beirut-based Al Mayadeen news channel, which is pro-Iranian and frequently highlights Hamas and Hezbollah attacks.

…

The terrorist group’s comments are also linked to those made by Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who has called for an escalation of hostilities during Ramadan.

Ramadan is set to begin on March 10, when the new moon heralds the arrival of the new month on the lunar calendar. (Read more from “Hamas and Islamic Jihad Call for ‘Terror,’ Violence During Ramadan” HERE)

Nikki Haley: I’m No Longer Bound by Pledge to Support Trump — RNC Is ‘Not the Same’

/2 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that she might not endorse former President Donald Trump even though she signed a Republican National Committee (RNC) pledge to do so.

Anchor Kristen Welker asked, “Have you moved to a place where you’re no longer planning to endorse him?”

Haley said, “Well, I think, first of all, if you talk about an endorsement, you’re talking about a loss. I don’t think like that. When you’re in a race, you don’t think about losing. You think about continuing to go forward. What I can tell you is, I don’t think Donald Trump or Joe Biden should be president. I don’t think we need two candidates in their 80s.”

Welker said, “Let me try it this way. You did sign a pledge, an RNC pledge, to support the eventual nominee. Do you still feel bound by that pledge?” . . .

She continued, “The RNC pledge, I mean, at the time of the debate, we had to take it to where would you support the nominee, in order to get on that debate stage, you said yes. The RNC is now not the same RNC. Now it’s Trump’s daughter-in-law.” (Read more from “Nikki Haley: I’m No Longer Bound by Pledge to Support Trump — RNC Is ‘Not the Same’” HERE)

Married Principal Admits to Shocking Murder-For-Hire Plot Against Pregnant Teacher

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a chilling revelation that has sent shockwaves through the community, Cornelius Green, a former middle school principal in Missouri, pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a murder-for-hire plot he orchestrated against a woman he was having an affair with, who had become pregnant.

Cornelius Green, the married principal of Carr Lane Visual Performing Arts School in St. Louis, confessed to paying a friend $2,500 to kill Jocelyn Peters, a 30-year-old teacher at the nearby Mann Elementary School, along with “their unborn child,” according to reports from the Daily Mail. Peters, 27 weeks pregnant at the time, fell victim to the horrific plot when Green’s childhood friend, Phillip Cutler, allegedly entered her apartment with keys provided by Green and shot her in the head on March 24, 2016.

An indictment obtained by NBC News details the gruesome act, stating that Cutler used a “potato as a silencer to muffle the sound of the shot” as he killed Peters while she lay in bed.

Court documents, as reported by First Alert 4, reveal that Green was romantically involved with multiple other women.

Following the alleged murder, Green went to Peters’ apartment later that day and called 911 to report the shooting, according to local outlets. The former principal’s plea agreement acknowledges that the $2,500 he paid to Cutler was stolen from his school.

People reported that Green expects to be sentenced to life in prison for charges related to murder-for-hire and conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire. The plea agreement suggests that if sentenced to life, state prosecutors will drop murder charges against him, potentially sparing him from facing the death penalty.

Phillip Cutler, implicated in the murder-for-hire plot, will also face charges, with his trial set to commence on March 11.

The shocking revelation has left the community grappling with the heinous nature of the crime. In the aftermath of Peters’ tragic death, Mann Elementary School principal Nicole Conaway dedicated a memorial garden in her honor. Conaway spoke of Peters’ dedication to children, emphasizing her impact on their lives and character.

“She was someone who cared deeply about children, not only about their learning but about who they were in making them into better people,” Conaway said in an interview with Fox 2 Now at the time.

Trump Smashes Nikki Haley 924-0 in Missouri, CRUSHES Her in Idaho

/1 Comment/in , /by

Word is not out yet on if Nikki Haley will declare a second-place moral victory after she collected ZERO delegate-equivalents in the Show-Me State. . .

Nikki fared little better in Idaho, getting crushed by a whopping 80 percentage points.

Lil’ Nikki doesn’t care about votes in what she probably considers to be flyover states, however. All she’s seeing are big Democrat donor and Military-Industrial Complex dollar signs as she amps up her increasingly deranged and feverish attacks on the presumptive nominee.

WWIII WATCH: Putin Warns of Nuclear Consequences if Western Troops Enter Ukraine; Germany Appears to Have Inadvertently Revealed the UK and France have Soldiers in Ukraine

/5 Comments/in , /by

In a startling escalation of tensions, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a stern warning that any deployment of Western troops in Ukraine could lead to global nuclear conflict. The ominous statement comes amidst rising concerns over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the potential for broader international involvement.

Putin declared Russia’s willingness to use its “entire arsenal” if the conflict in Ukraine does not go in its favor. The Russian leader accused Western allies of contemplating the deployment of troops to Ukraine and warned of severe consequences if such a move were to occur.

French President Emmanuel Macron recently stated that sending Western soldiers to Ukraine “could not be ruled out.” He emphasized the need to do everything possible to prevent Russia from prevailing in the conflict.

Putin, during his address, accused Western allies of selecting targets for striking Russian territory and discussed the possibility of sending a NATO contingent to Ukraine. He warned that the consequences for potential invaders would be “far more tragic” than in previous instances when foreign troops were sent to Russian territory.

In a somewhat taunting tone, Putin questioned whether Western leaders truly understood the gravity of the situation, suggesting that they were treating the conflict as a simulation. He asserted that these leaders, who he claimed hadn’t faced tough challenges, seemed to have forgotten the harsh realities of war.

The international community now faces a precarious situation, with diplomatic efforts likely to intensify to prevent further escalation and find a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.

Germany Appears to Have Inadvertently Revealed the UK and France have Soldiers in Ukraine

By Breitbart. German Chancellor Scholz stands accused of handing Russia a propaganda coup in order to smooth over his own political difficulties as he claims the presence of British and French soldiers aiding Ukrainian forces.

Scholz has been accused of abusing intelligence and being a bad ally by angry NATO politicians after his remarks about the level of involvement he claims there is of the British and French in the deployment of the Storm Shadow / SCALP cruise missiles they have given to Ukraine, and which have been deployed with devastating effect. . .

It is a little-discussed fact that many NATO states have soldiers in Ukraine, but these troops are generally present only to protect the embassies of those nations in Kyiv, and to safeguard diplomatic staff. In some cases they have additional roles: the United States has been open about the fact it has a limited presence of soldiers who track what happens to the enormous amounts of high-tech weapons systems the West gives to Ukraine, for the sake of accountability. Indeed, that presence was re-confirmed only this week by John Kirby.

In the case of the United Kingdom, an apparently off-guard remark by a senior military officer in 2022 revealed there may be more going on behind the scenes, the Lieutenant General saying there had been “discreet operations in a hugely sensitive environment and with a high level of political and military risk”. The British government later strongly denied having any active troops in Ukraine, however, warning against “taking at face value allegations that have the potential to spread disinformation”.

CIA Gave Highly Classified Intelligence to Journos to Fight a PR War Against Anti-Ukraine Republicans in Congress

/5 Comments/in , /by

Well, it looks like the band’s back together. The CIA and the New York Times have teamed up yet again to pull a fast one on the American people. Sadly, this shouldn’t surprise anybody. After all, the CIA and the New York Times have been working together to gaslight the American people on a whole host of issues, including the infamous and debunked “Russia hoax.”

There’s a common misconception that the CIA’s job is to protect the US from foreign dangers. That’s a cute idea, but it’s not true. . .

According to Mike Benz, this is the key paragraph from the New York Times CIA Ukraine piece that reveals, explicitly, why the CIA hand-selected the NYT to publish highly classified intelligence and invited hand-selected NYT journalists onto a secret CIA base: It was to pressure Republicans in Congress to keep funding Ukraine.

Mike appeared on Fox News radio and discussed three key points regarding the Ukraine/New York Times bombshell:

Must Watch: James O’Keefe Exposes Judge Engoron ‘Creeping’ on Women in Long Island Gym; Equinox Gym Bans Journalist

/6 Comments/in , /by

By The Post Millennial. On Wednesday, James O’Keefe dropped the latest video in his “On the Inside” series. This time, the target was Arthur Engoron, the New York City judge who handed down the $354 million fine in Donald Trump’s civil fraud case brought forth by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Before long, O’Keefe spotted Engoron and walked over to him. . .

In the clip submitted by an anonymous source, Engoron can be seen talking to a woman who appears to be in her twenties. By the end of the clip, the woman looks “visibly annoyed” by the judge, putting her hand up and gesturing him “back off.”

In an X Space hosted by O’Keefe, the source elaborated on Engoron’s behavior, revealing that the judge “makes it a point to go up to any young girl possible every single visit.” (Read more from “Must Watch: James O’Keefe Exposes Judge Engoron ‘Creeping’ on Women in Long Island Gym” HERE)

Report: Dad Accused of Drugging Daughter’s Friends During Sleepover

/3 Comments/in , /by

In a disturbing incident that unfolded during a sleepover last August, a father in northwestern Oregon is facing serious allegations of spiking the smoothies of his daughter’s 12-year-old friends with sedatives. Authorities from the Lake Oswego Police Department (LOPD) revealed the shocking details in a recent press release, shedding light on the disturbing events that transpired at Michael Meyden’s home.

On August 26, 2023, three 12-year-old girls, guests at Meyden’s residence, were rushed to a children’s hospital after exhibiting symptoms of exposure to an “unknown prescription drug.” Following an extensive investigation, LOPD detectives concluded that Michael Meyden, a 57-year-old man, was allegedly responsible for contaminating the girls’ bloodstreams with drugs.

Meyden voluntarily presented himself at the Clackamas County Jail and now faces serious charges, including three counts each of “Causing Another to Ingest a Controlled Substance,” “Application of a Schedule-4 Controlled Substance to Another,” and “Delivery of a Controlled Substance to a Minor,” according to the LOPD.

Detective Nicole Palmeri, who spearheaded the investigation, identified the drug used by Meyden as benzodiazepine, a class of depressants known for producing sedation and hypnosis. The Drug Enforcement Administration notes that benzodiazepines are legally obtainable only by prescription.

The court affidavit, as reported by The Oregonian, provides chilling details of the alleged incident. The girls suspected that their mango drinks, served by Meyden, had been tampered with when they noticed “tiny white chunks throughout and sprinkled on top.” Despite one girl expressing reluctance to drink the smoothie, Meyden allegedly insisted and even provided another one.

According to the affidavit, Meyden directed the girls to get ready for bed and reportedly checked on them multiple times in the basement, waving in one girl’s face and manipulating another’s arm and body. Sensing something was amiss, one of the girls pretended to drink the smoothie, later texting her mother about feeling unsafe and urgently needing to be picked up.

The text read: “Mom please pick me up and say I had a family emergency. I don’t feel safe. I might not respond but please come get me (crying emoji), Please. Please pick up. Please. PLEASE!!” A family friend retrieved the girl, and her parents subsequently reached out to the other parents, leading to Meyden’s confrontation with concerned parents at his house.

One of the girls exhibited concerning symptoms approximately 12 hours after the alleged drugging, including heavy eyelids, slow speech, and a feeling of wooziness and clumsiness. She described falling into a “thick, deep sleep” and repeatedly asked her parents about the events that unfolded after leaving Meyden’s house.

The shocking incident has left the community in disbelief, prompting a thorough investigation and raising concerns about the safety of children during seemingly innocent sleepovers.

Democrats Are Furious That Due Process Is Ruining Their Lawfare Schedule

/1 Comment/in , /by

On Monday, Special Counsel Jack Smith requested the Supreme Court take up the question of presidential immunity in the election interference case against former president Donald Trump. It took only a few hours for the court to grant that request.

Now, you might be under the impression that such a quick result would greatly please Democrats. But there’s a major hitch. It seems that the justices forgot to ask Rachel Maddow to plan their schedules. Though the court expedited the case, arguments won’t be heard until April, with a decision likely to come in late June — making it unlikely, though not impossible, that there will be a trial before the 2024 election.

With this news, scores of left-wing pundits accused the justices of conspiring to help Trump win the election. By granting Smith’s request, Chris Hayes complained it “was a clear, unmistakable sign from the MAGA majority of the Trump-created court that they are with him. That they are going to use their power to make sure that he does not face trial in an election year for attempting to end American democracy.”

Sometimes, I wonder if Hayes and the others who happily watch constitutional protections and procedures dismantled when it suits their partisan needs know they are engaged in a mass act of projection.

Consider that Hayes demands SCOTUS render a judgment on a historic immunity case on a schedule that comports with the partisan objectives of Democrats – namely, putting Trump in front of a judge at the height of a 2024 presidential campaign. Or, in other words, Hayes wants the court to do the very thing he contends is corrupt for the court to do.

Joe Biden Got $40K From China Funds, Brother James Admits in Bombshell Impeachment Interview

/3 Comments/in , /by

First brother James Biden confirmed during his impeachment inquiry testimony that a $40,000 check made out to former Vice President Joe Biden in 2017 used funds James received from a Chinese government-linked company — while James also revealed he received overseas income as recently as last year.

James, 74, insisted that he didn’t believe the company, CEFC China Energy, was controlled by Beijing — claiming that “I just misspoke” when telling the IRS in a 2022 interview that first son Hunter Biden, who was partnering with his uncle, had described CEFC chairman Ye Jianming as a “protégé” of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“Where did you believe the source of the money that was going into [Hunter Biden’s company] Owasco, prior to being sent to you, was coming from?” an investigator asked James during the Feb. 21 interview, according to an official transcript released Friday.

“CEFC,” James conceded — following an extended back-and-forth in which the first brother’s attorney Paul Fishman tried to argue that “money’s fungible” before being reminded by a House staffer that James “did not have sufficient funds” to make the $40,000 alleged loan repayment on his own, “so it is traceable.”

The interview also established that James Biden received $840,000 over four transfers between November 2022 and July 2023 from Argentinian businessman Jose Luis Manzano, which the first brother said came from selling half of his stake in Manzano’s holding of Argentinian natural gas company Metrogas.
