‘Invade Abandoned Houses’: Migrant Promotes Taking Advantage of ‘Squatters Rights’ in Viral Video

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Venezuelan social media influencer has gone viral with a video promoting “squatting” — trespassing on someone’s property in order to seize it — and instructing fellow immigrants on how to “invade” American homes.

Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan migrant who uses the handle @leitooficial_25 on TikTok, has enraged social media users with a video telling followers that “if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it.”

In a video with nearly 800,000 views, Moreno says in Spanish: “I found out that there is a law that says if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it.”

Referring to highly controversial “squatter’s rights” laws that exist in varying forms around the U.S., the influencer said the rules allow for a “land invasion.”

“That will be my next business, invading abandoned houses,” he said.

‘Is This Right Wing?’: Elon Musk Lays Out His Personal Beliefs

/0 Comments/in , /by

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk voiced his confusion over political partisanship in a post shared via his X platform, saying that while he believed himself to be more of a centrist, his critics seemed certain that he was “right-wing.”

Musk was inspired by another post from Sophie (@netcapgirl) that read, “Going back in time to try to explain how crazy it is that we have a guy who makes electric cars and rocket ships and brain computer interfaces yet a bunch of people hate him because they don’t like his politics or whatever & having them show me a cave drawing of the astronaut meme.”

Musk replied with a list of things that he believed were important to support in society, explaining that what he saw was a “battle to the death” between the rational and “the anti-civilizational woke mind virus.”

“My positions are centrist,” Musk explained, adding, “Secure borders; safe & clean cities; don’t bankrupt America with spending; racism against any race is wrong; no sterilization below age of consent. Is this right-wing?”

Musk replied to his own post with an addendum a short time later, saying “And, although it shouldn’t need to be said, I believe in the Constitution and freedom of speech.”

‘Very, Very Dangerous’: Former Rep. Tells Tucker Americans Should Prepare for ‘Black Swan’ Event (VIDEO)

/5 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Former Republican Rep. Ron Paul of Texas warned Tucker Carlson in a Tuesday evening interview that a so-called “black swan” event would “pop up” and Americans needed to prepare.

Paul, who served 12 terms in Congress in three stints, discussed the war in Ukraine, attacks on his foreign policy views and the risk of World War III in the interview with Carlson, a co-founder of the Daily Caller and Daily Caller News Foundation. Paul warned that education is necessary for those seeking to get through the event.

“I think we’re reaching this point where some sudden thing is going to happen,” Paul told Carlson. “I believe in that theory of the black swan. It’s going to pop up and it’s not going to be controllable.”

A “black swan event” is defined as an impossibly difficult event to predict that has extremely widespread consequences that challenges basic assumptions, according to the Corporate Finance Institute, which cited 9/11, Brexit, the dotcom crash and the COVID-19 pandemic as examples.

“But people ask, what can they do? I think the most important thing is understand what’s going on,” Paul continued. “It’s education. That’s why I happen to have a home-schooling program that tries to teach this stuff early.”

An executive at an Arkansas airport was hospitalized Tuesday after wild firefight with federal agents attempting to search his home, according to a statement from Arkansas State Police.

At 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning, agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrived at the home of Bryan Malinowski, the executive director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton Airport in Little Rock, with a warrant to search his residence.

ATF agents reported being fired upon, and then returned fire. One ATF agent sustained what police called a “non-life-threatening gunshot wound.”

53-year-old Malinowski, who the ASP identified as the shooter, sustained multiple gunshot wounds, including a life-threatening injury to the head, according to his brother, Matthew Malinowski. (Read more from “Airport Executive Shot During Wild Firefight With Feds” HERE)

Francis Doubles Down: Homosexuals ‘Experience the Gift of Love’!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Today, on Mar. 19, 2024, the world is being graced with yet another book by and about the false pope Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’). It is an autobiography the apostate Jesuit put together with the help of Italian Vaticanist Fabio Marchese Ragona.

The title of the book is: Life: My Story Through History. The English-language edition is 240 pages in length and is published by HarperCollins. It has been translated from the original Italian by Aubrey Botsford.

On Mar. 14, the Italian Corriere della Sera had shared advance excerpts from the book, which the international press quickly reported on (example here). In the present post, we will focus mainly on one ‘highlight’ in the autobiography, namely, Francis’ comments on homosexuals.

Aberrosexuals and ‘Experiencing the Gift of Love’

After making clear that there is no such thing as same-sex marriage, Bergoglio emphasizes that civil unions for sodomites are a different matter altogether:

…on this subject I have said on many occasions that it is right that these people who experience the gift of love should have the same legal protections as everyone else. Jesus often met and spent time with people who lived on the margins of society, who lived in the existential peripheries, and that is what the Church should be doing today with members of the LGBTQ+ community, who are often marginalized within the Church: make them feel at home, especially those who have been baptized and are in every respect among God’s people. And those who have not been baptized and would like to be, or who would like to be godfathers or godmothers: let them be welcomed, please; let them follow a careful pathway to personal discernment.

Biden Energy Official Resigns Amid Push for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives

/1 Comment/in , /by

Asmeret Asefaw Berhe, a top official with the United States Department of Energy, who injected the department’s science office with diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives during her tenure, will step down from her position at the end of the month, Fox News Digital reported.

Berhe, a professor of soil biogeochemistry, was nominated in April 2021 by President Biden to serve as the director of the Office of Science within the DOE. She was confirmed by the Senate in a 54-45 vote.

According to the DOE’s website, Berhe’s areas of expertise include “soil science, global change science, and political ecology with an emphasis on how the soil system regulates the earth’s climate and the dynamic two-way relationship between the natural environment and human communities.”

During her time as the head of science, Berhe has pushed her office to adopt “equity and inclusion” initiatives. In October 2022, Berhe implemented a policy requiring grant applicants “to submit a Promoting Inclusive and Equitable Research (PIER) Plan as an appendix to their proposal narrative,” according to the Office of Science’s website. The plan mandated applicants to describe how they would “incorporate to promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in their research projects.”

“The Office of Science (SC) is deeply committed to supporting diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible work, research, and funding environments that value mutual respect and personal integrity, and SC is committed to promoting people of all backgrounds, including individuals from groups and communities historically underrepresented in STEM fields and SC activities in recognition of our responsibility to serve the public,” the website read.

Not Parody: NYT Declares the ‘Deep State’ Is Not Only Real, but ‘Kind of Awesome’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The New York Times has declared that not only is the “Deep State” real, it “is actually kind of awesome.”

When former President Trump was in the White House, Republican complaints about a “deep state” — entrenched unelected bureaucrats and federal government employees who were actively working to undermine Trump’s agenda — were dismissed as conspiracy theories. But as the 2024 presidential race shapes up to be a rematch of the 2020 election, the NYT has acknowledged — and praised — the “deep state’s” existence.

The video opinion piece, produced by Adam Westbrook and Lindsay Crouse, began with a series of clips of former President Trump promising to dismantle the “deep state” if reelected. The pair followed with a series of comments from federal government employees whom they suggested were a part of the “deep state” and therefore at risk if Trump were reelected.

Favoritism, Cover-Ups Reveal Culture of Corruption in US Capitol Police Leadership

/0 Comments/in , /by

Corruption is endemic at the highest levels of the United States Capitol Police, especially among the special agents and officers who serve in the department’s dignitary protection detail, a Blaze Media investigation has found.

Internal discipline reports show a pattern of officers failing upward. Proven instances of fraud, forgery, theft, perjury, and drunk driving on duty going back to the late 1990s led to promotions rather than dismissals and prosecutions, discipline reports obtained by Blaze Media show.

High-ranking USCP officials, including a present-day deputy chief and an assistant chief, were implicated and faced discipline and possible termination in a fraudulent overtime pay scheme that defrauded the government of tens of thousands of dollars, according to documents obtained by Blaze Media and a former Capitol Police sergeant. A lieutenant involved in the scam left the Capitol Police and now works for the U.S. Senate sergeant at arms. . .

The National Journal story relied in part on the account of Rhoda Henderson, a retired USCP sergeant and whistleblower. In an exclusive interview with Blaze Media, Henderson confirmed that the officers involved were current USCP Assistant Chief Sean Gallagher, current Deputy Chief John Erickson, and Wendy Colmore, who is now director of central operations for the U.S. Senate sergeant at arms.

Gallagher was a captain with the dignitary protection detail and the alleged “ringleader” at the time of the payroll scheme, while Erickson and Colmore were both lieutenants under Gallagher’s command.

Biden Administration’s Paperwork Failure Results in Dismissal of 200,000 Deportation Cases

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration failed to file court papers in hundreds of thousands of deportation cases, which were as a result tossed by judges.

The Department of Homeland Security enforces immigration laws by issuing a Notice to Appear (NTA) to each illegal immigrant and filing it in court. But in approximately 200,000 cases in which NTAs were issued to aliens at the border, triggering the creation of a court date, DHS never filed the actual paper with the court, according to new data obtained by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, an academic group better known as TRAC.

In immigration courts in Houston, Texas, and Miami, Florida, both immigration hotbeds, more than half of their deportation cases have been dismissed for that reason since fiscal year 2021.

“These large numbers of dismissals and what then happens raise serious concerns,” the nonpartisan group, affiliated with Syracuse University, said in its report. The percentage of immigration cases that were dismissed skyrocketed immediately upon President Joe Biden taking office, rising from 0.1% in 2017 and 1.2% in 2019 to 10.6% in 2021.

China Allies With Hamas? Country Signals Interest in Relations with Terrorists

/0 Comments/in , /by

China has sent a delegation to Qatar to meet with the leader of the jihadist terrorist organization Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh. This encounter marks the first high-level meeting between the Chinese government and Hamas since October 2023. The Foreign Ministry of China revealed on Tuesday that the delegation conveyed Beijing’s interest in fostering relations with the genocidal group.

The meeting comes against the backdrop of heightened tensions following a significant escalation in violence initiated by Hamas in October 2023. The orchestrated attack, dubbed the “al-Aqsa flood” by Hamas, resulted in an estimated 1,200 deaths, the abduction of approximately 250 people, and widespread atrocities including torture, gang rape, and the desecration of the deceased.

Hamas, a Sunni terrorist organization, has long called for the destruction of Israel and the eradication of Jewish presence in the region. It enjoys backing from key Chinese ally Iran, and despite its terrorist designation, has received tacit support from Beijing in international forums such as the United Nations and BRICS coalition meetings.

Confirming the meeting with Haniyeh, the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Tuesday, offering limited details on the discussions held. Ambassador Wang Kezhuo of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs met with Haniyeh during his visit to Qatar and exchanged views on issues including the Gaza conflict, as stated in the ministry’s official communication.

However, the ministry declined to provide further elaboration during its regular press briefing, instead emphasizing China’s support for the Palestinian cause and the two-state solution. The meeting took place amidst ongoing tensions in the Middle East, with China reiterating its stance on the need for Palestinian self-governance and aspirations for statehood.

Reports suggest that during the meeting, Chinese Ambassador Cao Xiaolin reiterated China’s historical ties with the Palestinian people and expressed interest in strengthening relations with Hamas. Haniyeh reportedly pressed China to intervene in halting Israeli bombardments in Gaza and facilitating the return of displaced Palestinians to their homes.

Hamas, in its statement following the meeting, acknowledged China’s engagement and the presence of Chinese diplomats. The organization, whose political leadership resides in Qatar, views the country as a mediator between Hamas and the international community.
