Senate NDAA to Pentagon: ‘Immediately’ Halt Fight Against Extremism

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Senate Armed Services Committee has called on the Defense Department to halt its programs to prevent and root out extremism in the ranks.

The report accompanying the Senate’s National Defense Authorization Act, which was made public late Monday, states the committee’s view that “spending additional time and resources to combat exceptionally rare instances of extremism in the military is an inappropriate use of taxpayer funds, and should be discontinued by the Department of Defense immediately.”

The language has not previously been reported in the press. While not legally binding on the Pentagon, it appears to send a signal of congressional opposition to efforts to counter extremist narratives in the military. The Defense Department initiative was fueled largely by the fact that dozens of people charged with ransacking the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, were former or current service personnel — about 17 percent of those charged.

While the Senate report language suggests the committee as a whole supports halting counter-extremism training and analysis, the same document reveals that the committee approved including that section of the report by only the narrowest of margins: 14-12.

Every Republican on the committee voted for the motion, and every Democrat voted against it. Maine Independent Sen. Angus King’s vote in favor of the language tipped the balance in the GOP’s favor. (Read more from “Senate NDAA to Pentagon: ‘Immediately’ Halt Fight Against Extremism” HERE)

Antifa Summer Camp Teaches Kids How to Hate Police and Raise Anarchy

/0 Comments/in , /by

Goodbye are the days where kids come home from camp with macaroni pictures and beaded bracelets. Now they will come home knowing how to properly be a progressive activist.

A summer camp in Portland is offering “a free, radical social justice camp” where they learn Black Lives Matter (BLM) chants about putting “killer cops in jail,” and “reflect on white supremacy.”

The Budding Roses camp, part of a project from the Black Rose Anarchist Federation, will host a two-week camp for grades fourth to eighth aimed at teaching kids the main proponents of anarchy, similar to the 2020 violent riots.

Teaching kids how to hate the police, the camp’s curriculum features a “Black Lives Matter At School” coloring book and a “What is Police Abolition” section that imagines communities without cops. (Read more from “Antifa Summer Camp Teaches Kids How to Hate Police and Raise Anarchy” HERE)

Judge Rebukes Georgia Prosecutor Investigating Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

A judge overseeing the Fulton County special grand jury inquiry into the 2020 election and former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results in Georgia tore into District Attorney Fani Willis on Thursday for helping to fundraise against a target of her investigation.

At issue was Willis participating in a fundraiser for Democratic lieutenant governor hopeful Charlie Bailey in June, a rival to Republican Burt Jones, who has been informed he is a criminal target of the Fulton County district attorney’s investigation. Noting poor optics, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney criticized Willis but refrained from ruling on whether she should be removed from that aspect of the inquiry.

“I don’t know that it’s an actual conflict, but … it’s a ‘what are you thinking’ moment,” McBurney said during a hearing Thursday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. “If we’re trying to maintain confidence that this investigation is pursuing facts in a nonpartisan sense … that strikes me as problematic.”

Lawyers for Jones reportedly claimed the June fundraiser Willis attended reaped $32,000 for his Democratic rival and implored the judge to order the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office to appoint another prosecutor to the case to question him. They were in court Thursday for a hearing on a motion filed to disqualify Willis over the fundraiser. (Read more from “Judge Rebukes Georgia Prosecutor Investigating Trump” HERE)

Sheriff Refuses to Release Gun Owner Info to the FBI: ‘I Will Go Down With the Ship if Need Be’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A sheriff in Missouri has refused to release gun owner information to the FBI, even if the agency threatens to arrest him.

Republican Scotland County Sheriff Bryan Whitney wrote to residents in his community on Monday about the plan to audit Missouri’s gun owner records.

“As the sheriff of Scotland County, I want all my citizens to know that I will not allow, cooperate or release any [conceal carry weapon] information to the FBI, ‘even at the threat of a federal arrest,’” said Whitney.

“Point Blank, ‘I will go down with the ship if need be,’” he added, according to Fox News.

Whitney says the FBI planned to audit 24 counties, though it is unknown which counties in Missouri would be affected. (Read more from “Sheriff Refuses to Release Gun Owner Info to the FBI: ‘I Will Go Down With the Ship if Need Be'” HERE)

Shocking New Study Shows Big Tech Censorship Is A Way Bigger Problem Than You Thought

/0 Comments/in , /by

When people talk about censorship, they typically regard the victim as the particular person or entity whose speech is suppressed by some aggressor — which in recent memory has been predominantly Big Tech. But what about all the people for whom that information is no longer available? These people are victims of secondhand censorship, which massively compounds the issue, as revealed by a shocking new study.

The Media Research Center (MRC), which defines secondhand censorship as “the number of times that users on social media had information kept from them,” found that Big Tech has engaged in direct censorship of individuals and organizations at least 4,000 times. Other users, however, were blocked from seeing these posts or videos at least 144,301,713 times in the first quarter of 2022 alone. That’s more than 36,000 times the instances of direct suppression.

By adding the followers of those censored by Big Tech, MRC calculated how many people were prevented from seeing a post or video that was removed or otherwise suppressed.

“It’s truly mind-boggling that the Silicon Valley speech police have this kind of power,” MRC founder and President Brent Bozell said. “This report gets us one step closer to understanding the real impact anti-conservative discrimination at Facebook, Twitter and others are having on speech in this country.”

Through its own CensorTrack database, MRC found Facebook to be the greatest culprit, with users undergoing secondhand censorship 86,627,526 times. YouTube was second at 23,543,230, and Twitter was close behind at 17,065,054. (Read more from “Shocking New Study Shows Big Tech Censorship Is a Way Bigger Problem Than You Thought” HERE)

Court Orders DOJ to Cough up Biden’s Election-Takeover Documents Before Midterms

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal district court ruled last week that the Biden Department of Justice must hand over documents related to Biden’s executive order federalizing elections before the 2022 midterms and not after.

As a lawsuit filed by the Foundation for Government Accountability details, the DOJ sought to release the documents in 2023, because any time before that would “put an undue strain on agency resources.” The court sternly disagreed with the DOJ’s timeline and ordered it to provide all the documents requested by the Foundation for Government Accountability before the midterm elections, a major blow to the Biden administration.

As The Federalist has reported, Biden’s executive order directs all 600 federal agencies to focus on increasing voter registration and turnout. Multiple agencies subsequently decided to turn federal facilities — especially those that deal with federal benefits — into voter registration agencies. The agencies are also allowed to work with left-wing get-out-the-vote groups. (Read more from “Court Orders DOJ to Cough up Biden’s Election-Takeover Documents Before Midterms” HERE)

House-Passed ‘Respect for Marriage Act’ Isn’t About Marriage. It’s About Complying With Woke Ideology.

/0 Comments/in , /by

In an alarmist overreaction to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, congressional liberals this week passed radical legislation mislabeled as the Respect for Marriage Act.

Although the bill’s final passage would threaten civil society and fundamental American freedoms, conservatives should see this development for what it really is: a publicity stunt.

Its goal? Take the spotlight off progressives’ radical policies and paint conservatives as bigots—and all this conveniently before the midterm elections.

The House’s 267-157 passage of the bill, HB 8404, comes a week after the Department of Education published a proposed rule that would force federally funded schools to accommodate gender ideology in all school activities and programs. This change would mean requiring biological males to use women’s facilities, forcing faculty and students to use others’ preferred personal pronouns, and withholding funds from those institutions that refuse to comply.

House passage Tuesday of HB 8404 also comes before a proposed rule from the Department of Health and Human Services that would force medical professionals to provide and insure controversial cross-sex interventions and abortion services.

Tucker Carlson Mocks Joe Biden on Cancer, Delaware: ‘It Rains Oil’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has mocked President Joe Biden for suggesting that he contracted cancer due to pollution heavy enough to cause a windshield “oil slick” during his childhood in Delaware. . .

Carlson began his popular opinion show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Wednesday by insisting that Biden had announced that he was currently afflicted with cancer and had abruptly left the stage while refusing to take any “questions about his condition.” . . .

Carlson suggested that Biden may have been diagnosed with “dementia” rather than cancer, while also insinuating that Biden had painted Delaware as “such an awful state” that it “rains oil.” The Fox News host expressed skepticism about the White House saying that the president was speaking about his past experiences with skin cancer rather than a current diagnosis.

“The president explained that he has cancer because he grew up in Delaware, which is apparently such an awful state that everyone who lives there gets cancer,” said Carlson. “In Delaware, it rains oil—that’s how dirty Delaware is, it’s a great state.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Mocks Joe Biden on Cancer, Delaware: ‘It Rains Oil'” HERE)

Does the President Have Cancer? Biden: ‘I and So D**n Many Other People I Grew up With Have Cancer’; Here’s How the WH Is Covering Up His Gaffe (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden indicated that he has cancer, during an alarming speech delivered on Wednesday to promote clean energy.

The president spoke at the site of a shuttered coal plant in Massachusetts, vowing that one day, it would be the site of clean energy programs fueled by windmills off of the East coast. . .

He recalled how after the first frost, residents of Claymont had to turn on the windshield wipers to get the oil slick off the windshields of their cars because of the pollution.

“That’s why I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer,” Biden continued. “And why … for the longest time, Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation.”

It is unclear what Biden was referring to. He has repeatedly tried to sympathize with cancer patients recalling that his son Beau Biden died of cancer at the age of 46. (Read more from “Does the President Have Cancer? Biden: ‘I and So D**n Many Other People I Grew up With Have Cancer’” HERE)

Here’s How the White House Is Covering Up Joe Biden’s Latest Gaffe

By New York Post. President Biden said Wednesday that he has cancer, forcing the White House press office to quickly clarify that he was referring to skin cancer treatment that he had before taking office last year.

The remark initially appeared to be a stunningly casual health announcement during a speech about global warming in which the president described emissions from oil refineries near his childhood home in Claymont, Del. . .

White House spokesman Andrew Bates referred The Post to a tweet from Washington Post columnist Glenn Kessler, who noted that Biden had “non-melanoma skin cancers” removed before he took office.

It’s unclear why Biden chose to use the present verb tense to describe his experience with cancer.

“He said ‘I have cancer’ in the present tense you absolute dips–t,” Greg Price of XStrategies LLC tweeted in response to Kessler. (Read more from “Here’s How the White House Is Covering Up Joe Biden’s Latest Gaffe” HERE)
