Republicans Slam Judge for Not Delaying Trump’s Trial in Wake of Melania’s Mother’s Death

/4 Comments/in , /by

Republicans in Congress slammed Judge Arthur Engoron for not delaying former President Donald Trump’s trial Wednesday in wake of former First Lady Melania Trump’s mother’s death.

Both Republicans in the House and Senate heavily criticized Engoron for not delaying the case after the death of Melania’s mother, Amalija Knavs. New York Attorney General Letitia James brought the case forward regarding Trump’s businesses.

“This trial has been a joke from the beginning and not delaying it because of a death in the immediate family only solidifies Judge Engoron’s political agenda,” Republican Montana Sen. Steve Daines said after the ruling.

“Why wouldn’t Judge Engoron approve this request? @realDonaldTrump’s mother-in-law just passed away,” Republican Texas Rep. Lance Gooden said.

Revealed: U.N. Teachers Praised Hamas Oct. 7 Attacks Against Israel

/3 Comments/in , /by

Teachers in the United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) made antisemitic comments and celebrated the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel in group chats, according to a watchdog investigation report released Wednesday.

UNRWA is the primary U.N. agency responsible for providing humanitarian services to Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and other Middle Eastern nations, including education, health care, emergency aid and social services. A group message channel of over 3,000 UNRWA teachers was discovered to be filed with posts praising Hamas as “heroes” for killing and raping civilians in Israel on Oct. 7, with some posts calling for the execution of the remaining hostages in Gaza, according to UN Watch, a nongovernmental watchdog agency.

“This is the motherlode of UNRWA teachers’ incitement to Jihadi terrorism,” Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, said in a statement Wednesday.

Examples include one UNRWA teacher, Waseem Ula, who has made several posts in the group chat celebrating Hamas and calling for the murder of Israelis, according to UN Watch. One of his posts includes a photo of a suicide bomber vest with the caption, “Wait, sons of Judaism.” In another post, he refers to terrorist Akran Abu Hasanen as his “friend” and “brother.”

Another UNRWA teacher, Abdallah Mehjez, seeks to aid Hamas by encouraging Palestinians in the group chat not to heed Israel’s warnings to move out of areas in Gaza that may be targeted in military operations, according to UN Watch. Prior to his career with UNRWA, Mehjez worked as a journalist for the BBC. (Read more from “Revealed: U.N. Teachers Praised Hamas Oct. 7 Attacks Against Israel” HERE)

Trump Claims He Knows Who His VP Is Already

/6 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump confirmed Wednesday night on Fox News that he knows who his vice presidential choice will be for the 2024 elections, however he wouldn’t reveal who it is.

Trump appeared on Fox News’ Iowa town hall to discuss his policies and answer questions from the state’s voters about their concerns. Fox moderator Martha MacCallum asked the former president a follow up question about his pick for his potential cabinet, asking if he knew who would be his vice president pick.

“Let me just ask you a follow up on that about who would be in your cabinet – in your administration. If you are the nominee, which I know you expect to be, who would be in the running for vice president?” MacCallum questioned.

“Well, I can’t tell you that really. I mean, I know who it’s going to be,” Trump teased.

Another Fox moderator Bret Baier jokingly pushed back against the president’s statement asking him to give the crowd a “hint,” to which Trump stated that they would do “another show sometime.” (Read more from “Trump Claims He Knows Who His VP Is Already” HERE)

Unveiling the Risks: Factors Linked to Higher Risk of Young-Onset Dementia, Reveals Study

/4 Comments/in , /by

A comprehensive medical study conducted by researchers from Maastricht University and the University of Exeter has brought to light 15 factors significantly associated with an increased risk of young-onset dementia (YOD), challenging previous notions that genetics alone dictate the condition. The study, published in JAMA Neurology late last month, analyzed data from over 356,052 participants in the U.K. Biobank, revealing critical insights into YOD risk factors.

The research, which focused on individuals aged 30 to 64, addresses a global concern, with an estimated 4 million people in this age group worldwide living with YOD. The identified factors that experts deem to be strongly linked to YOD risk encompass a range of influences:

1. Lower formal education
2. Lower socioeconomic status
3. Carrying 2 apolipoprotein ε4 alleles (the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease)
4. No alcohol use
5. Alcohol use disorder
6. Social isolation
7. Vitamin D deficiency
8. High C-reactive protein levels
9. Lower handgrip strength
10. Hearing impairment
11. Orthostatic hypotension
12. Stroke
13. Diabetes
14. Heart disease
15. Depression

Stevie Hendriks, the lead study author and a postdoctoral researcher in psychiatry and neuropsychology at Maastricht University, emphasized that the findings challenge the prevailing belief that genetics solely determine young-onset dementia. He highlighted the significance of both physical and mental health factors, including the avoidance of chronic stress, loneliness, and depression.

Hendriks stated, “The fact that this is also evident in young-onset dementia came as a surprise to us, and it may offer opportunities to reduce risk in this group too.” The study suggests that lifestyle adjustments, including managing mental health and adopting proactive measures against identified risk factors, could play a pivotal role in reducing the risk of early-onset cognitive decline.

Dr. Richard Isaacson, director of research at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Florida, echoed the study’s implications, emphasizing the potential for individuals to combat early-onset cognitive decline through proactive lifestyle choices. He asserted that the study’s results align closely with clinical experiences, indicating the possibility of mitigating risk through targeted interventions.

Whoopi Goldberg: Trump’s ‘Promise’ Is to Round People up and Put Them in ‘Camps’ (VIDEO)

/4 Comments/in , /by

“The View” host Whoopi Goldberg claimed on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump planned to round people up and put them into “camps” if he ever won a second term in the White House.

During a discussion with her cohosts about the upcoming 2024 presidential election, Goldberg argued that inflation and the inability to keep up with household bills would pale in comparison to what Trump might do with another four years.

“What’s interesting for me is that people’s faith in the country is waning,” Goldberg began. “That’s the thing that’s pissing me off, because, in fact, there’s a reason Joe Biden ran the way he did. There’s a reason he’s running for democracy now, because that’s really what’s at stake.”

“You’re worried that you can’t pay your bills?” she continued. “Wait ’til he — the other guy — becomes president, and you won’t have to worry about it because you’ll be in some camp somewhere.”

“‘Cause that’s his promise,” she insisted. “His promise to us is he’s going to force people to do his bidding, that’s what he said. ‘I’m going to be good on day one, and I’m going to turn into this other person.’” (Read more from “Whoopi Goldberg: Trump’s ‘Promise’ Is to Round People up and Put Them in ‘Camps’” HERE)

Mayorkas Admits ‘Over 85%’ Of Migrants Being Released Into U.S.: Report

/4 Comments/in , /by

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas admitted Monday that over 85% of migrants encountered at the border are being released into the United States, three people who attended a private meeting with the secretary say.

Under President Joe Biden and Mayorkas’ leadership, millions of illegal immigrants have been apprehended or crossed over the U.S. southern border with Mexico. The influx of illegals has overwhelmed not just border cities, but areas across the nation, including deep-blue “sanctuary cities” like New York City.

“Per three Border Patrol sources who were in the room, while meeting privately with agents in Eagle Pass, TX today, DHS Sec. Mayorkas admitted that the current release rate for migrants caught crossing the border illegally is ‘above 85%,’” Bill Melugin reported. “I’m awaiting comment from DHS.”

The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) Union said the claim was true, noting that Brandon Judd, president of NBPC, was in the room when the conversation occurred.

“Your sources are correct,” the NBPC X account posted. “During this meeting, Brandon Judd told Mayorkas that Americans have the right to know the facts about what’s going on at the border. It was at that point Mayorkas admitted that ‘over 85%’ of the people illegally crossing our border are being released.”

GOP Lawmakers Confront Hunter Biden at Contempt Hearing: ‘You Have No Balls’

/6 Comments/in , /by

Republican lawmakers confronted Hunter Biden at Wednesday’s hearing to hold him in contempt of Congress for defying a congressional subpoena.

In what appeared to be a public relations stunt, Hunter Biden, along with his lawyer, Abbe Lowell, and so-called “sugar brother,” Kevin Morris, showed up at the hearing. . .

REPORTER TO HUNTER: “What kind of crack do you normally smoke Mr. • Biden?!”
byu/mistywhisky85 inN_N_N

“You are the epitome of white privilege…You have no balls…I think Hunter Biden should be arrested right here, right now, and go to jail,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said, directing her gaze towards the president’s son:

Hunter and his posse immediately left the hearing when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) began to speak. “[He] sits here with a smug look on his face and runs away when it’s my turn to talk,” she said.

“He can’t even face my words as I was about to speak to him,” she said. “What a coward.”

Christie’s Hot Mic Moment: DeSantis ‘Petrified’, Haley’s ‘Gonna Get Smoked’ (VIDEO)

/3 Comments/in , /by

In a revealing hot mic moment, former GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie was inadvertently caught expressing skepticism about the electoral prospects of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, both vying for the Republican nomination against former President Donald Trump.

Christie, who announced his withdrawal from the GOP primary on Wednesday evening, was overheard mocking DeSantis as “petrified” and suggesting that Haley is bound to “get smoked” in the race. The unguarded comments shed light on Christie’s assessment of the dynamics within the Republican primary and may have unintended consequences for the remaining candidates.

“We know we’re right, but they don’t want to hear it,” Christie remarked in a conversation with an individual identified as “Wayne.” Reflecting on his unsuccessful campaign, Christie emphasized the clarity and directness of his message, seemingly contrasting it with what he perceives as the shortcomings of DeSantis and Haley.

Christie pointed to campaign spending to underscore the comparative performance of the campaigns, noting that Haley had spent $68 million on TV advertising, DeSantis $59 million, and his own campaign $12 million. The former New Jersey governor questioned who was “punching above their weight” and achieving a better return on investment.

Expressing doubt about Haley’s chances, Christie asserted, “She’s gonna get smoked. And you and I both know, and she’s not up to this.” The conversation also touched upon Haley’s standing in New Hampshire, where she reportedly lags behind Trump by 20 points.

Christie’s remarks extended to DeSantis, as he revealed that the Florida governor had contacted him, seemingly concerned about Christie’s decision-making in the race. Despite the cordial exchange, Christie’s hot mic comments hinted at underlying doubts about DeSantis’ viability in the primary.

The candid moment also disclosed that Christie, a vocal critic of Trump during the primary, didn’t mince words when assessing Haley, branding her a “joke” who has performed poorly and is not up to the task.

Majority of Voters Predict Trump Will Win General Election, Poll Reveals

/1 Comment/in , /by

A recent Economist-YouGov poll sheds light on the prevailing sentiments among registered voters, indicating that a significant majority believe former President Donald Trump would secure victory in the general election if he becomes the GOP nominee. The findings, published on Tuesday, underscore a sense of confidence in Trump’s potential return to the White House.

According to the poll, 56 percent of registered voters anticipate a Trump triumph in the general election, with 30 percent expressing certainty that he “would definitely win” if nominated by the Republican Party. In contrast, only 29 percent believe Trump would lose to a Democratic opponent in a hypothetical match-up, revealing a widespread expectation of a Trump resurgence.

The survey delves into predictions for other potential GOP candidates, highlighting varying degrees of optimism. For instance, only 28 percent of respondents, to varying extents, envision former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) defeating a Democrat nominee, while a plurality of 45 percent predicts her loss. Similarly, a plurality of 43 percent anticipates a Democrat victory against Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), compared to 36 percent who believe he would likely win.

Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy faces skepticism, with just 19 percent believing he would likely or probably outperform a Democrat, while 54 percent express a belief in his likelihood of losing.

When voters were asked to predict the outcome of a face-off between Trump and Biden, 44 percent favored Trump, while 39 percent leaned towards Biden. Notably, voters envision a tighter race between Trump and a generic Democrat than between Trump and Biden directly.

Interestingly, in a hypothetical election between Trump and Biden, both candidates were tied at 43 percent, highlighting the competitiveness of such a match-up. Six percent would support someone else, five percent remain undecided, and three percent would abstain.

Among key demographics, Trump leads Biden among independents, securing 42 percent to Biden’s 33 percent. However, Biden maintains an advantage with black voters (73 percent to 15 percent) and Hispanics (46 percent to 37 percent).

In terms of the Republican primary, Trump continues to dominate with 65 percent support, leaving other potential candidates trailing significantly. Haley secures second place with 12 percent, followed by DeSantis at ten percent, Ramaswamy at five percent, and former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) at one percent.

Judge Rescinds Permission for Trump to Give His Own Closing Argument at His Civil Fraud Trial

/5 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump won’t make his own closing argument in his New York civil business fraud trial after his lawyers objected to the judge’s insistence that the former president would stick to “relevant” matters.

Judge Arthur Engoron rescinded permission on Wednesday, a day ahead of closing arguments in the trial.

The trial could cost Trump hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties and strip him of his ability to do business in New York. His lawyers had signaled last week that he planned to take the extraordinary step of delivering a summation personally, in addition to arguments from his legal team.
