Gavin Newsom Will Run for President in 2024 if Biden Doesn’t: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California will run for president in 2024 should President Joe Biden not seek re-election, according to a report by The Wrap on Monday.

One source close to Newsom, a Democratic fundraiser in California, told The Wrap about Newsom’s plans, which were confirmed by another source. Newsom “absolutely is going to announce that he is running for the presidency once Biden announces that he is not running,” said the fundraiser, according to The Wrap.

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, Newsom has been launching ad campaigns in several Republican-run states – challenging their new restrictions on abortion and inviting women there to receive abortions in California. He has also clashed with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida and, after the latter flew migrants from the southern border to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, challenged him to a debate.

So far, President Joe Biden has not announced his 2024 plans, though he has mentioned previously that he wishes to run, again. Biden, 79, would turn 82 years old shortly after election day in 2024. (Read more from “Gavin Newsom Will Run for President in 2024 if Biden Doesn’t: Report” HERE)

Religious School Suspends ALL Clubs After Ordered to Push LGBT Agenda

/0 Comments/in , /by

A religious school that was ordered by the U.S. Supreme Court to recognize an LGBT student organization has instead suspended all student groups while it evaluates the high court’s orders.

A report in the Washington Examiner cited a “backlash” from students at Yeshiva University, after the New York school suspended student club activities until further notice.

That announcement came after the Supreme Court, 5-4, ordered the school to recognize an LGBT club.

“In an email sent Friday by Yeshiva’s Office of Student Life, the New York City-based university said it would ‘hold off on all undergraduate club activities’ while it assesses the impact of the Supreme Court’s Wednesday ruling, which requires the university to recognize the Yeshiva University Pride Alliance while legal challenges play out,” the Examiner said.

“The university will hold off on all undergraduate club activities while it immediately takes steps to follow the roadmap provided by the U.S. Supreme Court to protect YU’s religious freedom,” the university said.

State Enacts Law to Help LGBTQ Military Veterans Get Benefits Back

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new law in California will help military service members who were discharged under “don’t ask, don’t tell” policies because of their sexual or gender identities to reestablish their eligibility for Veterans Affairs benefits, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Saturday.

“For decades, our bravest heroes, men and women who wore the uniforms of the armed services had to hide who they really were, and many were other than honorably discharged if their sexuality was discovered,” Newsom said in a statement after announcing he had signed the bill.

Gays and lesbians were banned in the military until the 1993 approval of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” which allowed them to serve only if they did not openly acknowledge their sexual orientation. Rather than helping, advocates say, the policy created more problems. In its entire history, the military dismissed more than 100,000 service members based on their sexual or gender identities — 14,000 of them during “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

Repeal of the law was approved by Congress and then President Barack Obama in late 2010 and took effect nine months later, allowing lesbian, gay and bisexual people to serve openly. (Read more from “State Enacts Law to Help LGBTQ Military Veterans Get Benefits Back” HERE)

Ron DeSantis Vows More Migrant Flights to Martha’s Vineyard: ‘Just the Beginning’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is promising more flights packed with illegal aliens will be sent to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. and other liberal enclaves.

During a press conference last week, DeSantis vowed to Floridians that he will send more flights of illegal aliens to the homes of the Democrat party’s wealthiest communities.

“Now we see, in New York and D.C., they used to beat their chests when Trump was in office, saying they are sanctuary jurisdictions,” DeSantis said. “Then the minute Texas starts busing there, they get very bent out of shape about it.”

“These are just the beginning efforts,” DeSantis continued. “We got an infrastructure in place now. There is going to be a lot more that’s happening.”

The remarks came after DeSantis sent 50 illegal aliens to the elite coastal island of Martha’s Vineyard — which voted up to 84 percent for President Joe Biden. Officials on the island quickly declared a “humanitarian crisis” and the illegal aliens were swiftly deported on buses to Joint Base Cape Cod.

Another Busload of Illegal Aliens Dropped off at Harris’ House

/0 Comments/in , /by

More busloads of illegal migrants arrived once again at the doorstep of Vice President Kamala Harris’ D.C. home, the third in only a week.

About 5o men, women and children were caught on camera arriving outside of the Naval Observatory.

“The Biden-Harris Administration continues ignoring and denying the historic crisis at our southern border, which has endangered and overwhelmed Texas communities for almost two years… our supposed Border Czar, Vice President Kamala Harris, has yet to even visit the border to see firsthand the impact of the open border policies she has helped implement, even going so far as to claim the border is ‘secure.’ Texas will continue sending migrants to sanctuary cities like Washington, D.C. until President Biden and Border Czar Harris step up and do their jobs to secure the border,” Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) said in a press release.

More than 100 migrants believed to be from Colombia, Cuba, Guyana, Nicaragua, Panama, and Venezuela, were dropped off in an effort to bring awareness to the Biden administration and what their open border policies have done to the country.

Dem Candidate Says Biden Is Corrupt, Son Hunter a ‘Dope Fiend’

/0 Comments/in , /by

One Ohio Democrat is taking the idea of running away from the unpopular Joe Biden to a whole new level.

In a virtual town hall on Tuesday, Ohio Democrat David Esrati accused the president of corruption and called his son Hunter Biden a “dope fiend.”

“I know I’m a Democrat and everything, but do you want to tell me what Joe Biden’s done since he got elected when he was 27 years old?” said Esrati, the Democratic nominee for Ohio’s 10th Congressional District. “How does he own all those houses? How is he worth what he’s worth? I mean, yeah, a book deal here or there, but no, something isn’t right about going in and serving your country and getting to be a multimillionaire.”

Vulnerable Democratic House and Senate candidates across the country have distanced themselves from the president ahead of the midterm elections, portraying themselves to voters as independent and bipartisan politicians who aren’t afraid to challenge Biden on policy. But of Democratic congressional candidates’ criticism of Biden this cycle, Esrati’s fiery rebuke is unprecedented in its hostility.

Esrati, who made the comments during a livestream in which he responded to chat messages, suggested that Biden became wealthy through inside knowledge he used to be successful in stock trading. (Read more from “Dem Candidate Says Biden Is Corrupt, Son Hunter a ‘Dope Fiend’” HERE)

Veteran Suicide Rate Is Over 2 Times Higher Than Federal Numbers, Study Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Federal records on veteran suicide rates are significantly undercounting the actual number of deaths, according to a study’s interim report.

Operation Deep Dive estimated the suicide rate was 37% greater than that reported by the Department of Veterans Affairs, according to a press release from the suicide prevention group America’s Warriors Partnership (AWP).

When accounting for deaths that are correlated with self-harming behaviors, the study found the number of deaths rose to more than double the number recorded by federal officials. (Read more from “Veteran Suicide Rate Is Over 2 Times Higher Than Federal Numbers, Study Says” HERE)

Biden Reveals He Hasn’t Made ‘Firm Decision’ on 2024

/3 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden said he will decide whether to seek a second term after November’s midterm elections in a wide-ranging interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes, in which he also recommitted to defending Taiwan and declared the COVID-19 pandemic to be over.

“Look, my intention, as I said, to begin with is that I would run again. But it’s just an intention,” Biden said in the sit-down that aired Sunday. “Is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”

Biden, who turns 80 in November, quipped to longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley for the show’s 55th season premiere that he is “in good shape.” He went on to mention election laws that would be prompted by a campaign announcement.

“I’m a great respecter of fate,” he said. “What I’m doing is my job. I’m going to do that job.” (Read more from “Biden Reveals He Hasn’t Made ‘Firm Decision’ on 2024” HERE)

The man, later identified as 19-year-old Luis Herrera, came out of the residence carrying a type of rifle, according to police. (Read more from “Police Officers Shoot Man Holding Realistic-Looking Airsoft Rifle” HERE)

Trump Scores Two Huge Victories in Fight for Special Master

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. The Biden administration cannot use the documents the FBI seized from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home for criminal investigative purposes until a special master completes an independent review of the material, a federal judge held on Thursday.

That decision and the court’s selection of Trump’s preferred special master candidate, coupled with the fulsome review process adopted yesterday by presiding Judge Aileen Cannon, represent a huge victory for the former president. But Trump’s win shouldn’t be a loss for the Department of Justice—unless the Biden administration played fast and loose with the facts and seeks to hide the truth from the country to launch an October surprise.

During the August 8, 2022, Mar-a-Lago raid, the FBI seized more than 11,000 documents, as well as clothing and other items from the Trumps’ home. On September 5, 2022, Judge Cannon, a Trump appointee, granted the former president’s request for the appointment of a special master to review the seized property. That order left open several issues, however, including the identity of the special master and the process and timing for the review.

Pending the special master’s review of the seized material, Judge Cannon also entered an injunction prohibiting the government from using the documents “for criminal investigative purposes. Three days later, the DOJ filed a notice of appeal, announcing its intent to ask the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn Cannon’s injunction.

The DOJ simultaneously filed a partial motion to stay with the trial court, asking Cannon to put on hold her ruling as to the documents marked classified. Specifically, the DOJ asked the court to hold that while its appeal proceeds, it need not provide documents marked as classified to the special master for review. The DOJ also asked the court to allow it to use the documents marked classified as part of its criminal investigation during the pendency of the appeal.

Judge Blocks DOJ’s Unchecked Review of Records Seized in Mar-A-Lago Raid

By The Blaze. On September 15, federal district Judge Aileen Cannon denied two requests that the Department of Justice made last Thursday: First, that the DOJ be allowed to resume reviewing allegedly classified records seized by the FBI in its August 8 raid of former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence; and second, that no neutral third party be brought on to vet these same documents.

Cannon wrote: “The court does not find it appropriate to accept the government’s conclusions on these important and disputed issues without further review by a neutral third party in an expedited and orderly fashion.”

She took issue with the DOJ’s demand that she “adopt hastily without further review by a Special Master” their premises and called into question the department’s representation of the documents, saying “evenhanded procedure does not demand unquestioning trust in the determinations of the Department of Justice.”

In a Monday filing, Trump’s attorneys noted that the former president is endowed with the powers to declassify records, without expressly stating that Trump had done so. Trump has, however, explicitly indicated he declassified the documents. (Read more from “Judge Blocks DOJ’s Unchecked Review of Records Seized in Mar-A-Lago Raid” HERE)
