Trump Promises to ‘Fight Even Harder for Christians’ During Second Term in Fiery Speech

/6 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump leaned into faith in his speech addressing the National Religious Broadcasters Convention on Thursday evening.

Trump congratulated the organization for its 80th anniversary and teed up the November election as “another struggle for survival of our nation,” telling the assembled attendees that “the greatest threat is not from the outside of our country.”

“I’m here today because I know that to achieve victory in this fight, just like in the battles of the past, we still need the hand of our lord and the grace of almighty God; we have to have that,” Trump said.

“Our country is being destroyed by a radical left, corrupt political class that has gotten communist, Marxist, and even fascist. I used to say we will never have a socialist state, and I was right; we passed over socialism. Socialism is a nice way by comparison to where we are now,” he added.

The former president also took jabs at his likely general election opponent, President Joe Biden, and said he has taken the gloves off since he was indicted last year.

/1 Comment/in , /by

A man aboard a recent Alaska Airlines flight constructed a makeshift weapon to stab a fellow passenger, according to multiple reports. The suspect allegedly said that he needed to protect himself because the “mafia had been chasing him.”

The bloody stabbing took place during an Alaska Airlines flight traveling from Seattle to Las Vegas on Jan. 24, 2024.

Julio Alvarez Lopez was described as acting “fidgety” throughout the flight, according to the New York Post. He also repeatedly put on and removed his gloves and went to the bathroom for lengthy amounts of time during the plane’s initial descent, the outlet reported.

While returning to his seat, Lopez allegedly began punching and hitting a fellow passenger seated across the aisle from him.

The suspect reportedly constructed a makeshift weapon comprised of pens wrapped together with rubber bands. Lopez is accused of using the improvised weapon in an attempt to stab the male passenger.

Nancy Pelosi’s Massive Stock Trade Paycheck Raises Concerns

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) hit the jack of all trades this week when she cashed in on a massive payout regarding her controversial stock trades.

In just the span of 92 short days, Pelosi made ten years’ worth of salary through her investment in NVIDIA (NVDA).

Her NVIDIA stock investment soared to a profit of about $1,800,000. Compare that to her annual salary of $175,000 as a political monster.

Over the years, the timing of Pelosi’s stock trades has raised eyebrows, suggesting that her political influence could have scored her insider knowledge.

In 2023, the Democrat saw a 65 percent return on her investments, outweighing the S&P 500’s overall 24 percent gain. Soon after, her fellow party members called for the banning of stock trades by members of Congress.

Illegal Alien Accused of Killing Cop Files Lawsuit Claiming ‘Disability’ Over Not Speaking English

/0 Comments/in , /by

An illegal alien who is accused of killing a police officer has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit after suddenly claiming he has a “disability.” . . .

Illegal migrant Virgilio Aguilar-Mendez is playing the victim card and claiming that his inability to speak English should be considered a disability and a reason for the justice system to take it easy on him despite killing an officer.

The 19-year-old illegal Guatemalan was arrested in May 2023 after allegedly causing the tragic death of St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Michael Kunovich. He was charged with resisting an officer with violence and manslaughter.

As the officer was trying to pat Aguilar-Mendez down, he attempted to flee. Soon after, several officers arrived to help assist the arrest. As Aguilar-Mendez continued to resist, Kunovich tackled the illegal migrant to the ground, struggling to contain him. Aguilar Mendez attempted to take the officer’s taser from his belt.

The struggle lasted for more than six minutes. After other officers handcuffed Aguilar Mendez, Kunovich collapsed and fell to the ground. First responders tried to save his life, but he was pronounced dead shortly after being rushed to a nearby hospital.

Four Charged in Connection With Smuggling Iranian-Made Weapons; Operation Resulted in Tragic Deaths of Two Navy SEALs

/0 Comments/in , /by

Four foreign nationals are facing charges related to the transport of suspected Iranian-made weapons, following a recent interdiction by U.S. naval forces in the Arabian Sea. Tragically, two Navy SEALs lost their lives during the mission.

The incident occurred on January 11 when U.S. Navy Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Christopher J. Chambers was boarding a vessel, and due to high waves, slipped into a gap between the boat and the SEALs’ combatant craft. In an act of bravery, Navy Special Warfare Operator 2nd Class Nathan Gage Ingram jumped in to rescue Chambers, resulting in both SEALs losing their lives.

The criminal complaint alleges that the four defendants were transporting suspected Iranian-made missile components, specifically for weapons used by Houthi rebel forces in recent attacks. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco highlighted the severity of the situation, stating that the flow of such weaponry from Iran to Houthi rebels in Yemen poses a direct threat to the people and interests of the United States and its regional partners.

In a news release, Monaco expressed the gravity of the situation, saying, “Two Navy SEALs tragically lost their lives in the operation that thwarted the defendants charged today from allegedly smuggling Iranian-made weapons that the Houthis could have used to target American forces and threaten freedom of navigation and a vital artery for commerce.”

The main defendant, Muhammad Pahlawan, faces charges of attempting to smuggle advanced missile components, including a warhead, with the knowledge that these would be used by Houthi rebels against commercial and naval vessels in the Red Sea and surrounding waters. Pahlawan is also charged with providing false information to U.S. Coast Guard officers during the boarding of the vessel.

His co-defendants, Mohammad Mazhar, Ghufran Ullah, and Izhar Muhammad, are also facing charges related to providing false information during the incident.

Insanity: Joe Biden Oversees 7.2m Illegal Aliens at Southern Border, Equivalent to 2 Years of U.S. Births

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden has overseen a record-breaking level of illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border — a large portion of which is being released directly into American towns and cities.

From February 2021 through January 2024, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data shows that more than 7.2 million illegal aliens have arrived at the nation’s porous southern border.

Thus far in Fiscal Year 2024, with only four full months completed, nearly a million illegal aliens have crossed the southern border. In Fiscal Year 2022, Biden broke records by overseeing close to 2.37 million illegal aliens at the border, and he shattered that record the following fiscal year when 2.47 million arrived.

For perspective, about 3.6 million Americans are born each year. Thus, two years of American births are equivalent to the total number of illegal border crossings Biden has overseen.

This year, the nation’s foreign-born population is expected to hit 50 million thanks, in part, to Biden’s policies regarding illegal immigration, as well as legal immigration levels that import more than a million legal immigrants annually to the U.S. (Read more from “Insanity: Joe Biden Oversees 7.2m Illegal Aliens at Southern Border, Equivalent to 2 Years of U.S. Births” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this week vowed to sign a bill passed by the Florida legislature which would permit the release of documents related to the Florida case of the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The Florida Senate passed Senate Bill 234, which allows for the release of testimony and evidence from the grand jury investigation in 2006.

The bill reads in part:

An act relating to disclosure of grand jury testimony; amending s. 905.27, F.S.; revising the list of persons prohibited from disclosing the testimony of a witness examined before, or the evidence received by, a grand jury; creating an exception for a request by the media or an interested person to the prohibited publishing, broadcasting, disclosing, divulging, or communicating of any testimony of a witness examined before the grand jury, or the content, gist, or import thereof; providing criminal penalties; providing construction; making technical changes; reenacting s. 905.17(1) and (2), F.S., relating to who may be present during a session of a grand jury, to incorporate the amendment made to s. 905.27, F.S., in references thereto; 16 providing an effective date.

The House version of the bill passed earlier this month, and DeSantis announced this week that he will, indeed, sign it. (Read more from “Ron DeSantis Vows to Sign Bill Permitting Release of Epstein Documents” HERE)

Cyberattack on Healthcare Tech Giant Sparks Nationwide Pharmacy Delays

/0 Comments/in , /by

A cyberattack targeting the prominent healthcare tech giant Change Healthcare has triggered widespread disruptions in pharmacies across the United States. The leading prescription processor announced that it was “experiencing a network interruption related to a cyber security issue,” prompting immediate action to safeguard partners and patients by disconnecting its systems.

The extent and specific nature of the cyberattack have not been disclosed by Change Healthcare, leaving pharmacies grappling with outages and delays. According to reports from the Huron Daily Tribune, healthcare provider Scheurer Health in Michigan faced prescription processing challenges at all its family pharmacy locations.

The impact extended to McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas, where the 22nd Medical Group reported a temporary pharmacy outage. Despite acknowledging the inconvenience caused, the medical group assured patients that its team was diligently working to resolve the issue, with an estimated resolution by the following day or later. While the pharmacy remained open, new prescriptions could not be processed due to an “unexpected enterprise-wide MHS GENESIS downtime.”

Canadian Lakes Pharmacy in Michigan also fell victim to the nationwide outage caused by the cyberattack on major prescription processors in North America. The pharmacy acknowledged the ongoing issue, affecting numerous pharmacies since the previous day.

Change Healthcare, being one of the largest healthcare technology companies in the United States, handles orders and patient payments nationwide. The company’s proactive measures, disconnecting its systems to prevent further impact, indicate the severity of the cyber threat.
