Woman Reportedly Disinvites Conservative Uncle From Her Wedding, Then Is Shocked at the Consequences

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .A woman’s conservative uncle was allegedly still expected to gift her money despite being uninvited from her wedding.

The brazen bride’s mother wrote to the “Ask Amy” column of the Chicago Tribune after experiencing the consequences of acting as her daughter’s mouthpiece.

The apparently politically progressive bride told her mother that her uncle, known to the daughter as “Uncle Dave,” caused her to “feel unsafe.” She requested her mother not invite Uncle Dave due to their political differences.

The mother explained she thought her daughter and Uncle Dave “always had a good relationship” despite his support of “candidates we all abhor.” Uncle Dave was describe to have “always been very nice,” and the mother was surprised by the sudden animus toward him. She, however, ultimately honored her daughter’s request. . .

“In short: Brides who are too afraid of family members to invite them to a family wedding don’t then get the pleasure of receiving their money,” the columnist responded. (Read more from “Woman Reportedly Disinvites Conservative Uncle From Her Wedding, Then Is Shocked at the Consequences” HERE)

Poll: Ahead of July 4, Americans Largely Think U.S. Is Headed Down ‘Wrong Track’; Majority of Americans Have Lost Confidence in Government

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Ahead of the Fourth of July, only 29 percent of likely U.S. voters believe the United States is “heading in the right direction,” a new Rasmussen Reports survey found.

Conversely, 64 percent of voters think the nation is “headed down the wrong track.” Rasmussen Reports conducted the survey with 1,743 likely U.S. voters between June 25-29 with a ± two percent margin of sampling error at the 95 percent confidence level.

“A year ago at this time, 18 percent said the United States was heading in the right direction, while 77 percent said it was on the wrong track,” according to the survey report.

The findings are similar to a new Convention of States Action/Trafalgar Group survey, which found that seven in ten Americans believe the U.S. is in a state of “cultural and economic decline.” (Read more from “Poll: Ahead of July 4, Americans Largely Think U.S. Is Headed Down ‘Wrong Track’” HERE)

Hunter Prosecutor Tied to First Son’s Business Partner

/0 Comments/in , /by

Derek Hines, an assistant U.S. attorney at the Department of Justice working on the Hunter Biden case, reportedly had a close professional relationship with a former FBI director whose firm has extensive business ties to the Biden family.

Hines’s LinkedIn page lists him working for former FBI Director Louis Freeh at his private company, Freeh Group International Solutions, as a special counsel between August 2013 and February 2015. Hines was one of the prosecutors to sign off on Biden’s recent plea deal.

An email had previously revealed that in 2016 that Freeh, then a partner at the Delaware-based law firm Freeh, Sporkin & Sullivan, worked with Biden on a job consulting deal regarding the prosecution of Romanian real estate tycoon Gabriel Popoviciu. Popoviciu reportedly paid Biden at least $1 million for help with his case. In April 2016, Freeh gave $100,000 to a trust for two of President Joe Biden’s grandchildren.

In July 2016, Freeh responded to an email to Hunter Biden, “I also spoke to [Joe Biden] a few weeks ago and would like to explore with him some future work options. I believe that working together on these (and other legal) matters would be of value, fun and rewarding.”

Freeh was a board member of the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children. (Read more from “Hunter Prosecutor Tied to First Son’s Business Partner” HERE)

News Station Director Fired After Asking Journalists to Tone Down Coverage of Pride Events Following Viewer Complaints

/0 Comments/in , /by

The director of a local news station in Michigan has been fired, as has an assistant director, after issuing a memo to journalists asking them to cover Pride events in a more “balanced” way.

WOOD-TV8 — an NBC affiliate based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan — terminated news director Stanton Tang and assistant news director Amy Fox for releasing the intra-office memo regarding coverage of Pride Month events. According to excerpts of the memo, news station officials had received complaints from viewers who were upset by the station’s supposedly fawning coverage of LGBTQ events.

“We know that West Michigan is a Conservative area in many ways,” the memo said, according to reports. “We need to recognize that some stories related to LGBTQ issues are going to be controversial and polarizing in our community. While you personally may not agree with a certain position, people are entitled to their opinions, and they are our viewers.”

The WOOD-TV memo asked journalists to cover Pride events selectively, based on their “newsworthy-ness.” Should a story be deemed newsworthy, journalists should then make every effort to stay “balanced and get both sides of the issue.” Tang reportedly requested the memo, and Fox reportedly wrote and sent it on his behalf.

Newsroom staff apparently responded to the directive with a mixture of defiance and fury. Based on comments from unnamed employees quoted in the Desk, many staff members experienced significant emotional turmoil on account of the memo. “The toxic atmosphere created by Stanton’s behavior has had a profound impact on the well-being and morale of our team,” one employee said in an email to the Desk. Another claimed that emotions at the station were “still raw.” A third employee, identified as a journalist, stated, “This whole situation killed what used to be a very enjoyable job. I have no passion for it anymore.” (Read more from “News Station Director Fired After Asking Journalists to Tone Down Coverage of Pride Events Following Viewer Complaints” HERE)

Army Celebrates Trans Soldier, Claims ‘Coming Out’ and ‘Living as One’s True Self’ Saves Lives — Meanwhile, Military Recruiting Crisis Continues

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the final days of Pride Month, the United States Army highlighted the story of a “transgender female” officer whose life was allegedly saved after “coming out.” Meanwhile, the military is battling the worst recruiting crisis since the beginning of the all-volunteer service in 1973.

The Army featured an article titled “Living Authentically Saves Soldier’s Life,” which featured the “coming out” story of Major Rachel Jones, an Army Sustainment Command Cyber Division chief.

According to the article, Jones “lived every day deeply depressed and suicidal” before publicly coming out as a transgender woman. . .

Stephanie Allers, a program specialist and suicide prevention liaison for the Army, claimed that depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and suicidal ideation risks are twice as high for veterans and active-duty soldiers who identify as LGBT+ but “have concealed their true selves,” the Army’s article stated.

“One reason for this is the chronic, toxic stress experienced by those who need or opt to hide their true self and those who have experienced loss of support or interpersonal and professional relationships because of their identity or sexual orientation,” Allers said.

Bud Light Now Selling for Less Than Water in Some U.S. Warehouses Following Tranny Fiasco

/0 Comments/in , /by

Once the most popular beer in the US, Bud Light is now selling for less than water in some American warehouses.

Andy Wagner, the manager and 18-year veteran of Glenn Miller’s Beer & Soda Warehouse in Lemoyne, Pennsylvania told the New York Times that a 30-pack of Miller Lite was selling for $24.99, while a 30-pack of Bud Light was priced at $8.99 after a rebate.

“At this point, it’s cheaper than some of the cases of water we’re selling in the back,” Wagner said. “It’s just not moving like it used to.”

“It’s not that they stopped drinking beer,” he added. “They just stopped buying Bud Light.” He said Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch broke the “bar rules,” meaning “no politics, no religion.”

A collaboration in the spring between transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney and Bud Light has led to backlash from consumers, with some stores being forced to give away the beer for free and Bud Light buying back expired beers from wholesalers, according to The Wall Street Journal.

‘Attention Wh**e’: Fed up Joe Rogan Goes Zero Filter Slamming Dylan Mulvaney

/0 Comments/in , /by

Podcaster Joe Rogan slammed transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney as an “attention whore” during a recent episode of his podcast.

Rogan sat down with rapper Ice Cube when the duo began talking about Mulvaney and Bud Light.

“The only time [capital] respects opinions is when people boycott shit and it works like this Bud Light thing, and now people are like, ‘Don’t do that again,’” Rogan said.

“Who controls Bud Light? That’s the question,” Ice Cube said. “Why would they make a dumb decision like that? Are they trying to ruin Bud Light? Are they trying to take down some of our most iconic American brands?” . . .

“Take a brand like Bud Light. It’s for blue-collar drinking people and they like to watch football and drink Bud Light and then all of a sudden you have this mentally ill person who’s just an attention whore.” (Read more from “‘Attention Wh**e’: Fed up Joe Rogan Goes Zero Filter Slamming Dylan Mulvaney” HERE)

Obama White House Looped in Hunter Biden in Email to His VP Dad About Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

A White House scheduling email sent to then-Vice President Joseph R. Biden ahead of a call with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko was also sent to his son Hunter who was serving on the board of a Ukrainian energy firm looking to escape a corruption probe.

In the call, the elder Mr. Biden urged Mr. Poroshenko to continue reforming Ukraine’s prosecutor general office. It’s unclear whether Hunter Biden was involved in the call outside of getting an email alert about it.

The timing of the call, however, coincides with Hunter Biden‘s $1 million-a-year job on the board for Burisma, which allegedly hired him to help dodge charges from the Ukrainian prosecutor general.

The White House scheduling email was sent on May 26, 2016, from Mr. Biden‘s assistant, John S. Flynn. It was disclosed by the National Archives in response to a Freedom of Information Request and mined by an online FOIA sleuth who gave it to The Washington Times.

The scheduling email from Mr. Flynn provided both Mr. Biden and Hunter Biden with the details for the vice president’s upcoming trips to Delaware and Rhode Island as well as the call to Mr. Poroshenko.

No One Should Be Surprised Social Conservatism Is on the Rise

/0 Comments/in , /by

Liberals love to claim they are on the “right side of history.” They talk about history as if it inevitably goes one direction: toward a progressive utopia.

This article of faith is the crux of the liberal worldview. But “history” and the social values it is said to produce are not pre-determined. Insisting otherwise tends to alienate many normal people, as a recent Gallup poll seems to suggest.

The poll found that the percentage of people describing their social views as “conservative” or “very conservative” reached its highest point in over a decade. It increased from 33 percent last year to 38 percent in 2023. A five point bump is notable because the social conservatism figure has remained relatively stable since 2012, the last time it stood at 38 percent, and it also tends to shift in smaller increments.

Republicans experienced a 7 point increase over the past year, Independents saw a 3 point bump, and even Democrats gained a point. Social conservatism increased 6 percent among young people aged 18-29, while Millennials and Generation X (30-49) saw the largest increase at 13 percent.

The new trend towards social conservatism comes at a time when social issues are increasingly top of mind. As the poll points out, “transgender matters, abortion, crime, drug use and the teaching of gender and sexuality in schools” are all hotly debated topics taking up an outsized portion of daily headlines. The radical positions Democrats have adopted on these issues represent the ideal in progressives’ dream society. (Read more from “No One Should Be Surprised Social Conservatism Is on the Rise” HERE)

Mystery Deepens: Man Found Alive 8 Years After Vanishing as a Teen Is ‘Nonverbal’ but Still Wearing Dead Brother’s Pendant

/0 Comments/in , /by

A 25-year-old missing Houston man who was found alive after disappearing in 2015 was still wearing his dead brother’s necklace when he was found last week — and is currently nonverbal and recovering in the hospital, his family says.

Rudy Farias, who disappeared in 2015 while walking his dogs, was miraculously found beaten and bruised Thursday by a Good Samaritan who called 911 according to his mother, Janie Santana.

“My son Rudy is receiving the care he needs to overcome his trauma, but at this time, he is nonverbal and not able to communicate with us,” Santana said in a statement to The Post provided by the Texas Center for the Missing.

“We are asking for privacy during this difficult time but will share more details as Rudy continues to heal,” she said, adding the family does not have any additional details about the case or where Farias has been for eight years.

Farias was 17 when he mysteriously disappeared near his family’s home. (Read more from “Mystery Deepens: Man Found Alive 8 Years After Vanishing as a Teen Is ‘Nonverbal’ but Still Wearing Dead Brother’s Pendant” HERE)
