Top Hunter Biden Prosecutor Appeared to Violate DOJ Policy by Sending Letters to Congress, Emails Show

/0 Comments/in , /by

Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, special counsel in the ongoing Hunter Biden case, appeared to violate Department of Justice (DOJ) policy by writing letters to Congress on behalf of Attorney General Merrick Garland, internal emails show.

The DOJ instructed Weiss in May 2022 that he was not allowed to respond to Congressional inquiries about the Hunter Biden case and must defer to the DOJ Office of Legislative Affairs (OLA), internal DOJ emails obtained by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project demonstrate. The emails were first reported Tuesday by The Federalist.

“Consistent with my conversation with [redacted] last night, we are supposed to forward this and any other correspondence to OLA. Per DOJ policy, only OLA can respond on behalf of the Department to a request from the legislative branch,” Shannon Hanson, an official in the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s office, emailed Weiss on May 25, 2022.

“David: I would like to forward this to [redacted]. If you would also want us to respond as an office, letting the Senators know that we have forwarded the information to OLA, I recommend we do so through [redacted] cced here. Please let me know how you wish to proceed,” she added. (Read more from “Top Hunter Biden Prosecutor Appeared to Violate DOJ Policy by Sending Letters to Congress, Emails Show” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A man known for entrapping alleged sexual predators by posing online as a 15-year-old girl was killed over the weekend in a confrontation with a man he accused of being a predator.

Robert Wayne Lee, 40, known as “Boopac Shakur” on social media, was shot and killed by one of two teenagers he confronted at about 10:30 p.m. on Friday, police said.

Lee frequently shared videos of himself confronting alleged predators to his nearly 50,000 followers on Instagram and more than 11,000 followers on Facebook.

Lee confronted two teenagers, ages 17 and 18, at a restaurant in Pontiac, Michigan, just north of Detroit. He accused one of the teens of being a pedophile and punched him, according to a news release from the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.

The teen who was punched pulled out a knife, and the other teen, suspected to be the younger one, pulled out a pistol and shot Lee multiple times, police said. (Read more from “Man Known for Exposing Alleged Sexual Predators Killed in Confrontation” HERE)

‘Shouldn’t Be in the GOP’: House Republicans Slam Matt Gaetz, Others Who Voted Out Kevin McCarthy

/0 Comments/in , /by

Several House Republicans slammed Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and other conservatives for voting to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday.

The House voted 216 to 210 adopting the motion to vacate the speaker filed by Gaetz after McCarthy led the chamber in passing a 47-day continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown over the weekend. Republican Reps. Don Bacon of Nebraska, Dan Crenshaw of Texas, Mike Collins of Georgia and Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin, who all voted against the motion, criticized the eight GOP members who voted with Democrats to remove McCarthy from the speakership.

“I’d love to have (Gaetz) out of the conference,” Bacon told CNN’s Annie Grayer following the vote. “He shouldn’t be in the GOP Party.”

Rep. Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota, who also voted against McCarthy’s ouster, told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that he expects there will be an effort to expel Gaetz, as well.

“If you’re voting with every single Democrat in the House to oust a Republican Speaker, it’s not about winning for your constituents. It’s not about winning for conservatives. Based on all the fundraising emails we are seeing, it’s only about personal attention,” Crenshaw wrote in a tweet. “There are people who fight for you, and people who fight for your attention. Big difference.” (Read more from “‘Shouldn’t Be in the GOP’: House Republicans Slam Matt Gaetz, Others Who Voted Out Kevin McCarthy” HERE)

Republicans Lead Democrats on Americans’ ‘Most Important’ Issue: Poll

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Republican Party is more trusted than the Democratic Party to solve voters’ “Most Important Problem,” according to a new poll.

The results are from a Gallup poll taken from September 1-23 that shows Republicans with a solid edge over Democrats on issues such as economic policy and national security. The poll also showed that roughly 6-in-10 Americans disapprove of President Joe Biden’s performance, and roughly 8-in-10 disapprove of Congress’ performance.

In addition to leads on big issues, the Republican Party has a sizable lead on whatever voters consider to be the “most important” problem facing the country, according to Gallup.

“Forty-four percent say the Republican Party is better, while 36% name the Democratic Party and the rest say the parties are the same or have no preference. This is at a time when the economy, government/poor leadership and immigration lead Americans’ open-ended responses when asked to name the most important problem facing the country,” Gallup reported.

The poll showed the Republican Party leads Democrats on economic matters 53% to 39%, the largest edge Republicans have had on the issue since 1991. Republicans are also preferred by Americans to handle national security issues over Democrats 57% to 35%.

Cardinals up in Arms Over Pope’s Remarks About LGBT Blessings, Ordination of Women

/0 Comments/in , /by

A group of cardinals is concerned about the development of Catholic doctrine ahead of the upcoming Synod on Synodality.

Cardinals Raymond Burke, Walter Brandmüller, Joseph Zen Ze-kiun, Juan Sandoval Íñiguez and Robert Sarah submitted a set of dubia, formal requests to the pope and Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith for clarification on doctrine, in July.

The dubia requested clarification on five specific issues the cardinals believe have lacked clarity from the Holy See: the inability to reinterpret divine revelation, the inadmissibility of blessings for same-sex couples, the hierarchical authority of bishops, the ordination of women to the priesthood and the necessity for repentance for sacramental absolution.

Dubia are typically answered with simple yes or no responses, but Pope Francis answered the list of topics in long form in the same month. (Read more from “Cardinals up in Arms Over Pope’s Remarks About LGBT Blessings, Ordination of Women” HERE)

Weird Reason Mosquitos Prefer Biting Certain People

/0 Comments/in , , /by

As well as being an inconvenience, mosquitoes are the deadliest animal to humans on the planet.

But some people swear up and down to be more attractive to the buzzing pests than others. . .

TikToker and dermatologist Lindsey Zubritsky, who uses the handle @dermguru, took to the platform to explain the different factors that determine whether you’re more likely to attract mozzies.

The first is sweat. Female mosquitoes drink mammalian blood, and the best way they can locate their feast is through sweat. . .

“Other things that can make you more susceptible to mosquito bites is drinking a beer. The study found that just drinking one 12-ounce (350ml) can of beer can make you more attractive to mosquitoes,” Dr Zubritsky said. (Read more from “Weird Reason Mosquitos Prefer Biting Certain People” HERE)

Report: Biden Administration ‘Scrambling’ to Assure Allies That Ukraine Aid Will Continue

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration is “scrambling” to try to assure U.S. allies that American aid to Ukraine will continue despite growing Republican opposition to it, according to a report.

Four sources told Axios that President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken plan to call several of their counterparts in Europe and will hold a conference call with leaders of the G7 countries and several other European allies.

A European diplomat told the outlet that the Biden administration told allies it is working on an agreement with Congress to allow continued military aid to Ukraine.

The outreach began Sunday after Congress passed a short-term funding measure that was stripped of any funding for Ukraine. Biden had signed the measure into law, calling it “good news” since it kept the government funded, and said he fully expected McCarthy to “keep his commitment to the people of Ukraine and secure passage of the support needed to help Ukraine at this critical moment.” Biden also said that he had “just made” a deal with McCarthy about continuing Ukraine funding.

Tucker’s Right: Trump’s Fraud Trial in NY Is a ‘Grotesque Parody of the System Our Ancestors Created’ (VIDEO)

/3 Comments/in , , /by

With liberals, it often seems that it’s opposite day. When they say they want to prevent the spread of misinformation, what they really mean is they want to spread propaganda and suppress truth. When they say they simply want people to be tolerant of other cultures and beliefs, they work to implement the most intolerant institutions imaginable. When they say they want to fortify an election, it means they want to ensure a pre-determined outcome.

Since January 6 they’ve been shouting that they need to protect democracy and taking action on multiple fronts to do the opposite, as Tucker Carlson and Victor Davis Hansen expertly outline in the newest episode of Tucker on X. In his monologue, Tucker said:

Liberals are now telling us they plan to protect American democracy, and that’s the clearest possible sign that they intend to end it.

Thirteen months from this week, the United States will hold a national election. In a democracy, citizens can vote for the candidate of their choice. That’s not just a feature; it’s the defining fact of the electoral system. The people rule. They can send anyone they want to Washington, because they’re in charge.

But this year, in the name of protecting democracy, liberals have decided to strip Trump’s name from ballots across the country. Trump is the frontrunner in the presidential race. He’s currently beating Joe Biden in the polls. Yet liberals have decided that you should not be allowed to elect him president. That’s not democracy. It’s the opposite. It’s totalitarianism.

Jamaal Bowman: I Pulled the Fire Alarm Because…Republicans Are Nazis?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) has tried and so far largely failed to explain or justify his decision to pull a fire alarm in a Capitol Hill office building as Congress rushed to avert a federal government shutdown. Now, his desperation to put an end to criticism and push back on punishment for his conduct from House Republicans has taken a predictable but pathetic turn. . .

So scrambling to take the heat off of himself, Bowman’s office suggested Democrats in Congress asked about the situation choose from a list of “suggested talking points” to back up their colleague-under-fire ranging from the literally unbelievable to the utterly absurd. . .

Here’s a sampling of what Bowman wants his colleagues to say about Bowman’s apparent caught-on-tape breach of DC and federal laws:

. . .

“I believe Congressman Bowman when he says this was an accident. Republicans need to instead focus their energy on the Nazi members of their party before anything else.”

“There are multiple insurrectionist supporters in Congress and more who supported a coup and support Trumpʼs Big Lie. Thatʼs what they should be focused on. Instead their focus on Rep. Bowman is an attempt to minimize January 6th.”

Missing 9-year-old Charlotte Sena has been found after disappearing from Moreau Lake State Park in New York on Saturday, authorities say.

New York State Police announced that a suspect has been taken into custody over the incident on Monday night. Sena is currently safe and healthy, and was taken to a hospital for evaluation.

At around 4:20 a.m., state police saw a man drop something in the Sena family mailbox, according to Gov. Kathy Hochul. It was a ransom note. . .

State and federal tactical teams then stormed a camper behind his mother’s double-wide trailer in Milton, just outside Saratoga Springs.

“Within the camper they located the suspect,”: Hochul said during a Friday evening news briefing in Latham. “After some resistance, the suspect was taken into custody, and immediately the little girl was found in a cabinet, covered. She was rescued.” (Read more from “Girl Snatched From Campground Rescued Hours After Predator Slipped Note Into Family Mailbox” HERE)
