Gallup Poll: Only 18% Of Young Adults, 29% Of Democrats Are Extremely Proud to Be American

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Gallup poll released Tuesday showed that only 29% of Democrats express “extreme pride in being American,” compared to 60% of Republicans.

“Party identification remains the greatest demographic differentiator in expressions of national pride, and Republicans have been consistently more likely than Democrats and independents to express pride in being American throughout the trend,” a Gallup summary of the poll said.

“That gap has been particularly pronounced since 2018, with more than twice as many Republicans as Democrats saying they are extremely proud. Republicans are also nearly twice as likely as independents to express the highest degree of pride,” it said.

The poll also showed that only 18% of Americans ages 18-34 say they are extremely proud to be American. According to the poll, younger adults of all parties were “significantly less proud” than older adults.

Musk Blasted for Suggesting COVID Vax Factored in Bronny James Cardiac Arrest

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, LeBron James’s son, Bronny, suffered a cardiac arrest and had to be rushed to the hospital. On Tuesday, Twitter boss Elon Musk opened the floodgates by suggesting that the coronavirus vaccine may have had a role in the 18-year-old’s medical scare.

Musk tweeted, “We cannot ascribe everything to the vaccine, but, by the same token, we cannot ascribe nothing.

“Myocarditis is a known side-effect,” Musk said, adding, “The only question is whether it is rare or common.”

Many said Musk is correct in questioning the safety of the coronavirus vaccine. . .

But Musk was also blasted by many who insisted that the Twitter chief was wrong to suggest the vaccines may have played a role..

GOPers Demand Biden Impeachment After Hunter’s Ex-Biz Partner Reveals Alleged Calls: ‘Must Be Held Accountable’

/2 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Some Republicans on Monday demanded House Speaker Kevin McCarthy begin the process to impeach President Biden after The Post revealed a key witness saying first son Hunter Biden frequently put his father on the phone with foreign business associates.

One of Hunter Biden’s closest partners, Devon Archer, is expected to describe the alleged damning calls involving the president at an upcoming hearing of the House Oversight Committee, The Post reported Sunday.

Archer’s explosive anticipated testimony comes on the heels of last week’s release of an FBI informant file that said Hunter and then-Vice President Joe Biden coerced a Ukrainian oligarch to pay $10 million in bribes to dodge a corruption probe.

“House Republicans should initiate impeachment proceedings against President Biden,” Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) flatly told The Post on Monday.

“Joe Biden was trading his personal influence to enrich himself and his family and must be held accountable for selling out America,” said Banks, former chairman of the powerful Republican Study Committee.

Hunter Biden’s Gallery Sold His Art to a Democratic Donor ‘Friend’ Who Joe Biden Named to a Prestigious Commission

By Business Insider. On the campaign trail, President Joe Biden pledged that there would be an “absolute wall” between his official duties and his family’s private business interests. The Biden White House repeatedly made reference to that wall when responding to questions about the fledgling art career of Hunter Biden, the president’s son. In 2021, when a New York art gallery debuted Hunter Biden’s paintings with asking prices as high as $500,000, the White House said that Hunter Biden’s team had a process for carefully vetting buyers, and that their identities were known only to the gallery, and not to Hunter Biden himself. The messaging seemed to suggest that Hunter Biden’s art patrons came from a rarified universe of collectors who had nothing to do with the hurly burly of politics.

Neither of those things has turned out to be the case. Hunter Biden did in fact learn the identity of two buyers, according to three people directly familiar with Hunter Biden’s own account of his art career. And one of those buyers is indeed someone who got a favor from the Biden White House. The timing of their purchase, however, is unknown.

That buyer, Insider can reveal, is Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a Los Angeles real estate investor and philanthropist. Hirsh Naftali is influential in California Democratic circles and is a significant Democratic donor who has given $13,414 to the Biden campaign and $29,700 to the Democratic National Campaign Committee this year. In 2022, she hosted a fundraiser headlined by Vice President Kamala Harris. . .

In July 2022, eight months after Hunter Biden’s first art opening, Joe Biden announced Hirsh Naftali’s appointment to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad. It is unclear whether Hirsh’s purchase of Hunter Biden’s artwork occurred before or after that appointment. Membership on the commission is an unpaid position that is often filled by campaign donors, family members, and political allies — the same crowd that often winds up with US ambassadorial appointments. Hirsh Naftali’s fundraising activities mark her as the kind of well-connected donor who often wins such appointments, regardless of any relationship they might have with the president’s family. But they do not address the possibility that Hunter Biden might have voiced his support for her appointment.

Black Man Claims He Won Mayoral Election but Can’t Take Office Due to Racism

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Black man has filled a federal civil rights lawsuit, claiming he was duly elected mayor of an Alabama town but was prevented from taking office by White leaders of the community.

Patrick Braxton, 57, claims “minority White residents” of the town of Newburn refused to accept the outcome of a mayoral race held in 2020 after he, a Black man, allegedly won the election. Instead of allowing him to take office, Braxton claimed the acting mayor of Newbern, Haywood Stokes III, worked with town council members to hold a special election in which Stokes was re-elected to the mayoral seat, CBS News reported.

Braxton further alleged Newbern had not held an election “for decades” prior to his purported 2020 win. Instead, he claimed, the office of mayor was “inherited by a hand-picked successor” who then appointed his own town council members, the outlet reported.

Despite the town’s 85% Black population, Braxton claimed all previous mayors were White and that only one Black person had ever served on Newbern’s town council.

Braxton stated he approached Stokes for information on how to run for mayor in 2020 over concerns the needs of the Black community were not being met. Braxton alleged Stokes then gave him “wrong information” about how to qualify for mayor, failing to tell him he needed to provide public notice to residents about the election.

Revelations About Biden’s $10 Million Ukraine Bribery Scheme Warrant Impeachment

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On Thursday, we finally got to see the document the FBI had been withholding from Congress about an alleged $10 million Ukraine bribery scheme involving Hunter Biden and then-Vice President Joe Biden, whom Burisma paid to get rid of a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the energy firm.

The document is damning. If there wasn’t enough evidence for the GOP-controlled House to open impeachment proceedings against Biden before, there certainly is now. Recall that former President Donald Trump was impeached by Democrats just for asking the Ukrainian President about the Biden bribery scheme on a phone call in 2019.

Now we know there was good reason for Trump to be asking about it. We also know there’s far more evidence Biden engaged in impeachable (and possibly criminal) offenses than there ever was against Trump. When Democrats first impeached Trump at the end of 2019, they claimed he had solicited foreign interference in the 2020 election by asking Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky about the Biden bribery scheme. His questions now appear to be well-founded. They’re questions the FBI and Justice Department should have been asking back in 2017 when the informant first told the FBI what he knew.

What we’ve now learned from the four-page document — an unclassified FD-1023 form, which is used by the FBI to record credible reports and information from trusted confidential sources — is that Burisma allegedly paid $10 million in bribes to the Biden family so that Joe Biden, who at the time was vice president, would make the company’s legal problems in Ukraine disappear. Biden later bragged about how he pressured Ukrainian authorities to fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma, by threatening to withhold aid to the country. At the time, Biden claimed Shokin was “corrupt.”

But if what the FBI informant says is even partially true, it’s Biden who is corrupt — and on a grand scale. According to the document, a top Burisma executive said the only reason the firm hired Hunter Biden (for a mind-boggling $83,000 a month) was “to protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems,” and that even though Hunter “was stupid,” they needed him “so everything will be okay.” What’s more, the firm was apparently told by both Hunter and Joe Biden that it needed to hire Hunter for this “protection.” (Read more from “Revelations About Biden’s $10 Million Ukraine Bribery Scheme Warrant Impeachment” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Florida man who allegedly murdered his pregnant [“boyfriend”] and stole the life of the victim’s unborn child has a lengthy history of terrorizing the people in his life, as indicated in court documents.

Riley John Groover, 26, shot and killed himself after carrying out the homicide, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office in Florida said.

His mother identified the victim as Camdyn Rider, 21, a transgender man who was eight months pregnant, according to WTSP.

This incident happened in the community of Inwood in the city of Winter Haven, authorities said. Groover shot Rider multiple times, said deputies, who did not name the victim or otherwise release information on him.

First responders and medical staff at the hospital could not save the unborn baby despite all efforts, the sheriff’s office said. (Read more from “Man Allegedly Shot and Killed His Pregnant ‘Boyfriend’ and Then Himself in Murder-Suicide” HERE)

Report: FBI Told David Weiss It Partially Corroborated Biden Bribery Allegations

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI reportedly told U.S. Prosecutor David Weiss the bureau partially corroborated the claims that Burisma Holdings founder Mykola Zlochevsky bribed then-Vice President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden with $5 million each.

The Pittsburgh FBI field office corroborated several details contained in the FBI informant record as a part of the intake process that former Attorney General William Barr established, a source with knowledge of the process told the Federalist.

The FBI’s Pittsburgh office was the clearinghouse for the information originating from Ukraine to root out “any potential disinformation.”

The Pittsburgh FBI office reportedly told Weiss about their corroborated facts stemming from the informant’s FD-1023 form, including the travel records the FBI informant detailed in the form and various times the informant claimed to visit cities in Ukraine, England, and Austria to gather the intelligence.

The source also told the Federalist the FBI informant’s handler corroborated the informant’s claim of meeting with Oleksandr (a.k.a. Alexander) Ostapenko, a man who allegedly witnessed conversations between Zlochevsky and the FBI informant. Ostapenko “introduced” the informant to Zlochevsky and “works in some office for the administration of [Ukrainian] President [Volodymyr] Zelensky,” the form stays.

Mark of the Beast? New Currency Has Global ID and Iris Scans

/0 Comments/in , /by

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s cryptocurrency initiative featuring a global ID and hopes for Universal Basic Income (UBI) officially launched on Monday, according to the project’s website.

Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency project, is placing “orbs” around the globe that scan an individual’s irises to discern whether they are a human, and issues them a “World ID,” which is a “global digital passport,” according to its website. In order to acquire a “World ID,” customers must book an appointment to conduct an in-person eye scan using Worldcoin’s “orb,” which is a silver ball designed to “verify humanness and uniqueness in a secure and privacy-preserving way.”

During its beta period, Worldcoin reached 2 million users, and it is currently expanding its global orb deployment to 35 cities in 20 countries, Reuters reported. Additionally, people who register in some countries will get Worldcoin’s cryptocurrency token, WLD.

OpenAI is the company that created the popular chatbot ChatGPT, which has a leftwing bias, the Daily Caller News Foundation found.

The WorldID has the potential to address the challenge of distinguishing humans from artificial intelligence (AI) “while preserving privacy,” Worldcoin asserted in its Monday introduction. Further, the project stated Worldcoin could “enable global democratic processes, and eventually show a potential path to AI-funded UBI.” (Read more from “Mark of the Beast?

Biden’s ‘Embarrassing’ Tripping Incident, Age Alarms Democratic Allies

/0 Comments/in , /by

A congressional Democrat told NBC News that Democrats need to be more responsive to concerns about President Biden’s age as aides continue to make adjustments in an effort to avoid “embarrassing and dangerous” incidents.

“The Democratic Party needs to be responsive to what people are saying about Biden and their concerns that they have with his age,” the congressional Democrat, who remained anonymous, told the outlet. “The number of text messages that I got after the president fell … I mean, my phone was blowing up. People are like, ‘Oh, this is so bad.’”

After the president tripped at the Air Force Academy’s recent graduation ceremony, some of Biden’s aides reportedly got together to discuss how to make sure it “never happens again,” according to NBC.

NBC News reported that voters were watching Biden and were seeing “hardening impressions that it’s time for him to step aside.”

A former Western diplomat, who remained anonymous, told the outlet that the president is “quite frail.” (Read more from “Biden’s ‘Embarrassing’ Tripping Incident, Age Alarms Democratic Allies” HERE)
