BLOODY HOLIDAY WEEKEND: Dozens Shot, Nearly 10 Killed as Violence Floods Dem-Run City (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Violence in Chicago continues to escalate over the long July 4th weekend, with 54 people shot, 7 of them fatally.

The weekend kicked off with 22 people shot, four fatally, within the span of 20 hours on Friday. Violent encounters with police also popped up throughout the weekend, with Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown begging parents to take responsibility over their children.

“There’s no reason why everyone can’t enjoy the holiday and every event safely. Parents, please, please know where your children are,” he said. “Don’t leave them to government to be the parents of your kids. We need you, parents, please, to help us make sure your young people are safe.”

A crowd of protesters in Chicago’s Loop attacked police cars with fireworks and blunt objects after authorities responded to reports of cars doing donuts in an intersection.

Is Gavin Newsom Running for President? Governor’s July 4 Ad Targets DeSantis

/0 Comments/in , /by

California Gov. Gavin Newsom took aim at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a new campaign ad, claiming “freedom is under attack” in states such as Florida that are run by Republican governors.

“Your Republican leaders, they’re banning books,” Newsom says in the ad as images of DeSantis play on the screen. The California Democrat goes on to say Republican governors are also “making it harder to vote, restricting speech in classrooms, even criminalizing women and doctors.”

Newsom appeared to be referencing a DeSantis move to reject 41% of the state’s math books over concerns that the books used material that included themes of social-emotional learning, Common Core standards and critical race theory, which are all banned under Florida law. . .

“I urge all of you living in Florida to join the fight,” Newsom says, adding that Floridians could also “join us in California, where we still believe in freedom.”

“Freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate and the freedom to love,” he continues. “Don’t let them take your freedom.” (Read more from “Is Gavin Newsom Running for President? Governor’s July 4 Ad Targets DeSantis” HERE)

Jeff Bezos Blasts Biden for Blaming Gas Companies for High Pump Prices

/0 Comments/in , /by

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos ripped President Biden for blaming sky-high prices at the pump on gas station companies — accusing the commander-in-chief of either employing “misdirection” or of displaying a “deep misunderstanding” of economic fundamentals.

In a tweet on Saturday, Biden wrote: “My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.”

“Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product,” the president continued. “And do it now.”

Bezos, the second richest person in the country, blasted Biden’s message in a response on Twitter later Saturday.

“Ouch. Inflation is far too important a problem for the White House to keep making statements like this,” posted Bezos, owner of the Washington Post.

WATCH: Jordan Peterson Refuses to Bend the Knee to ‘Toxic’ Twitter, Says He’d ‘Rather Die’ Than Delete Tweet About Transgender Actor Elliot Page

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jordan Peterson faces a permanent ban on Twitter if he does not delete a tweet about transgender actor Elliot Page. The professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Toronto proclaimed that he would “rather die” than conform to Twitter’s rules and delete the tweet in question.

Peterson’s tweet posted on June 22 read: “Remember when pride was a sin? And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician.”

In the tweet, Peterson linked to an article titled: “Elliot Page is ‘proud’ to introduce trans character on ‘Umbrella Academy.’” . . .

The best-selling author defiantly responded to his Twitter suspension in a 14-minute-long YouTube video, during the diatribe he said he would not bend the knee to the “toxic” “rat-hole” social media platform.

“I’ve essentially been banned from Twitter as a consequence,” Peterson said. “I say ‘banned’ although technically I’ve been suspended. But the suspension will not be lifted unless I delete the hateful tweet in question, and I would rather die than do that. Hopefully, it will not come to that, although who the hell knows in these increasingly strange days.”

A Tale of Two July Fourths: No Fireworks for Dems This Year

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .President Biden strutted into the Fourth of July a year ago on solid political footing, declaring the nation’s independence from the coronavirus.

Twelve months later, Mr. Biden is stumbling into the fireworks and festivities bruised — and struggling to convince voters he can right the ship.

Larry Jacobs, a political science professor at the University of Minnesota, said the change over the last year is “night and day.”

“Optimism among Democrats took a hit by the failure to pass the Build Back Better agenda and the subsequent Democratic fighting,” Mr. Jacobs said. “The situation has only gotten worse for Dems — inflation haunts all Americans and will likely go up in the coming months.” (Read more from “A Tale of Two July Fourths: No Fireworks for Dems This Year” HERE)

Kamala Harris Appears to Compare Roe Ruling to Legacy of Slavery

/2 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to draw a connection between the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade the legacy of slavery over the weekend.

Harris made the comparison while participating in a fireside conversation Saturday afternoon with actress Keke Palmer at the Essence Festival, one of the nation’s largest African American cultural gatherings which took place in New Orleans. While speaking to the crowd, the vice president argued that the high court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization served as an example of the United States “trying to claim ownership over human bodies.”

“This is a serious matter,” Harris began while denouncing the court’s decision. “And it requires all of us to speak up, to speak out, and to be active.”

“We have to recognize we’re a nation that was founded on certain principles that are — that are grounded in the concept of freedom and liberty,” she continued moments later. “We also know that we’ve had a history in this country of government trying to claim ownership over human bodies. And we had supposedly evolved from that time and that way of thinking. So this is very problematic on so many levels.”

While she did not explicitly reference slavery, Harris’s comment about the country’s history of “government trying to claim ownership over human bodies” appeared to serve as a reference to the darkest stain on the United States’ legacy.

San Francisco Officials Slap Couple With a $1,500 Warning for Parking on Their Own Property

/0 Comments/in , /by

As if parking in San Francisco wasn’t already difficult, the city’s planning commission took it a step further after threatening a couple with a $1,500 fine for parking their vehicle in their own driveway.

Ed and Judy Craine, a San Francisco couple who have parked car after car in their driveway for nearly 40 years, received a $1,542 warning from city officials stating parking a car in their driveway violated a code section that banned vehicles from parking in the setback in front of houses — regardless if it doesn’t block a sidewalk, ABC7 reported. To make matters worse, the city would add $250 per day if the car wasn’t removed from the driveway that “as far they could tell” was used as a place to park vehicles since the house was built in 1910.

“To all of a sudden to be told you can’t use something that we could use for years,” Ed told ABC7. “It’s, it’s startling. Inexplicable.”

“It was very surprising, to say the least,” Judy said. “I wrote them back saying I thought this was a mistake.”

But the city said otherwise and gave them a chance to prove that past residents have historically used the space a lot. If successfully, they might get a waiver. (Read more from “San Francisco Officials Slap Couple With a $1,500 Warning for Parking on Their Own Property” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

An overwhelming majority of American voters don’t want Joe Biden to run for re-election in 2024, according to a recent Harvard CAPS–Harris poll.

71% of Americans surveyed said they do not want Biden to seek a second term, and 29% indicated he should. Among those who opposed Biden’s second term, 45% said he should not make a second bid because “he’s a bad president,” 30% said Biden, who is about to turn 80 this year, is “too old” and 26% said, “it’s time for a change.” Additionally, 60% of voters have doubts about Biden’s mental fitness for office. The poll was conducted from June 28-29, 2022 among 1,308 registered U.S. voters. It is a collaboration of the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University and the Harris Poll.

Mark Penn, co-director of the Harvard CAPS–Harris Poll weighed in, saying Biden may want to run again, but “the voters say ‘no,’” The Hill reported. Penn also noted, “only 30 percent of Democrats would even vote for him [Biden] in a Democratic presidential primary,” the outlet continued.

‘Restrictive’ Gun and Ammunition Controls Failed to Prevent Copenhagen Attack

/0 Comments/in , /by

Denmark has some of the most stringent gun controls in the world, yet numerous people were shot and some killed Sunday at the Field’s shopping mall in Copenhagen.

Danish police confirmed multiple people were shot at the mall and that “several” have been killed, Breitbart News reported.

Police inspector Søren Thomassen said, “We know that there are several dead…[and] several injured,” according to the Associated Press.

The University of Sydney’s GunPolicy.org categorizes Denmark’s gun control as “restrictive,” and they note that “the right to gun ownership is not guaranteed by law.”

Moreover, Denmark requires would-be gun owners to first get a license from the government. Only licensed individuals may own or transfer a gun and ammunition. Also, even with a license individuals can only purchase ammunition that matches the firearm(s) they own.

Biden Immigration Policy Leading to Mass Death

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s border with Mexico is the deadliest land crossing in the world, according to a United Nations group, the International Organization for Migration.

“More than 1,238 lives have been lost during migration in the [north, central and south] Americas in 2021, among them at least 51 children,” said the group’s July 1 report.

“At least 728 of these deaths occurred on the United States-Mexico border crossing, making this the deadliest land crossing in the world,” said the IOM statement, which added:

“The number of deaths on the United States-Mexico border last year is significantly higher than in any year prior, even before COVID-19,” said Edwin Viales, author of the new IOM report on migrants in the Americas in 2021. “Yet, this number remains an undercount.”

The record number of deaths reflects the mass migration up to the border — where Biden’s border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, is dangling work permits and jobs to more than a million foreigners. (Read more from “Biden Immigration Policy Leading to Mass Death” HERE)
