Biden Tries to Walk Back Speech From Hell: ’I Don’t Consider Any Trump Supporter to Be a Threat’ — After Calling Trump Supporters a Threat

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden tried Friday to walk back his dark political speech from the night before after receiving considerable backlash for trying to portray supporters of former President Donald Trump as radical extremists who threatened the United States.

“I don’t consider any Trump supporter to be a threat to the country,” Biden replied when asked by reporters at the White House about why he decided to say that Trump and his supporters were a threat to democracy.

The president tried to narrow his definition of exactly who he was talking about when he said “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country” in his speech Thursday night at Independence Hall in Pennsylvania.

“I do think anyone who calls for the use of violence and fails to condemn violence when it’s used, refuse to acknowledge an election has been won, insists upon changing the way in which the rule – you count votes,” he said. “That is a threat to democracy. Democracy. And everything we stand for.”

Biden tried to walk back his darker assertions, noting that all Trump supporters did not support everything he did. (Read more from “Biden Tries to Walk Back Speech From Hell: ’I Don’t Consider Any Trump Supporter to Be a Threat’ — After Calling Trump Supporters a Threat” HERE)

Trump Blasts Barr After Former AG Dismisses Mar-a-Lago Declassification Claims

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump was quick to respond to his onetime attorney general William Barr on Friday after the latter said there was likely no legitimate reason for his former boss to have documents stashed at Mar-a-Lago.

In an interview with Fox News, Barr said that regardless of whether Trump declassified the documents, they still belonged to the government, meaning he should not have had them after he left office. . .

The comments provoked a stinging rebuke from Trump via his Truth Social account.

“Former A.G. Bill Barr was fired long before I left the White House on January 20th,” he wrote. “He acted very slowly on the ‘No Collusion’ Mueller Report in that the FBI and ‘Justice’ had the ‘Laptop from Hell’ in their possession, which totally exonerated me long before Mueller’s decision came out, years later – A waste of time & money. The Laptop information should have been released BEFORE the Rigged Election, not after it, for the VOTERS TO SEE. He was petrified of the lunatic Dems & of being Impeached!” (Read more from “Trump Blasts Barr After Former AG Dismisses Mar-a-Lago Declassification Claims” HERE)

Ukraine, COVID, and Monkeypox: Biden Asks Congress for Another $47 Billion to Address ‘Critical Needs for the American People’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The White House asked Congress for another $47 billion Friday to address what it considers “immediate needs,” including the spread of monkeypox at home and abroad, the never-ending fight against COVID, and the defense of Ukraine.

President Joe Biden’s request to Congress is aimed at keeping the government open beyond the September 30 expiration of the 2022 fiscal year, according to administration officials, Politico reported. The requested $47 billion includes $6.5 billion to address the recent flooding in Kentucky and wildfires in California, but that’s just a little over half of the $11.7 billion Biden wants to send to Ukraine.

“This Administration will continue to work with members of both parties in Congress to meet these critical needs for the American people, and we look forward to reaching a bipartisan funding agreement that advances national priorities in the coming fiscal year,” Shalanda Young, the director of the Office of Management and Budget wrote Friday.

While the administration carved out some funding to address natural disasters at home, there was no mention of Biden wanting Congress to send money to address the water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi, that has now dragged on for five days. Instead, the president set his short-term priorities on throwing more money toward combatting the already slowing spread of viruses and aiding the war defense of a foreign nation.

Convenient Timing: Paul Pelosi Sold Computer Chip Stock in Time to Avoid Heavy Losses

/0 Comments/in , /by

Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), cut his losses in software company Nvidia before the United States placed new restrictions on computer chip sales to China and Russia.

As noted by an analysis from MoneyWise, Pelosi sold 25,000 shares of Nvidia on July 26 at an average price of $165.05 — causing a loss of $341,365, according to a set of disclosures. One month later, Nvidia revealed that the federal government imposed export restrictions on the company’s A100 and forthcoming H100 circuits. The new regulations will “address the risk that the covered products may be used in, or diverted to, a ‘military end use’ or ‘military end user’ in China and Russia,” Nvidia said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Shares in Nvidia fell 7.7% on the news and a total of 16% since Pelosi sold shares on July 26. Pelosi — who was arrested after alleged drunk driving earlier this year — formerly exercised 200 call options on their expiration date of June 17 at a strike price of $100, according to more federal filings.

Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Speaker Pelosi, said in a statement to Fox News that the lawmaker had no knowledge of her husband’s transactions. (Read more from “Convenient Timing: Paul Pelosi Sold Computer Chip Stock in Time to Avoid Heavy Losses” HERE)

Did the Previous Federal ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Actually Work?

/0 Comments/in , /by

This week, President Joe Biden claimed during remarks that ruptured the audience’s eardrums that the previous nationwide ban on so-called “assault weapons” was successful in the mid-1990s and helped to reduce mass shootings for 10 consecutive years until its expiration a decade later. So, did the federal ban actually work?

CLAIM: “I’m determined to ban assault weapons in this country,” Biden declared in a Tuesday speech as he campaigned in the battleground state of Pennsylvania ahead of November’s midterm elections. “Determined,” he repeated. “I did it once before, and we will do it again…It’s not about taking away anybody’s guns,” he insisted.

FACTS: Congress passed a 10-year ban on “assault weapons” under the Violent Crime Control and Law enforcement Act in 1994 back when Biden was a U.S. senator. As a compromise to secure enough votes, the law contained a sunset provision calling for the ban’s repeal after 10 years, and it was not renewed in 2004.

A plethora of research was conducted on the ban’s effectiveness and “consistently found no statistically significant impact on mass public shootings or any other type of crime,” according to a 2018 analysis by the Crime Prevention Research Center. The findings hold true for research funded by the Clinton administration, per think tank Urban Institute’s conclusions in a 1997 final report for the National Institute of Justice: “The evidence is not strong enough for us to conclude that there was any meaningful effect (i.e., that the effect was different from zero).” The same criminologists published a follow-up NIJ study in 2004 where the researchers found: “We cannot clearly credit the ban with any of the nation’s recent drop in gun violence. And, indeed, there has been no discernible reduction in the lethality and injuriousness of gun violence.” The assessment added, “Should it be renewed, the ban’s effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement,” mentioning that “[assault weapons] were rarely used in gun crimes even before the ban.”

Chicago Mayor Says Texas Is ‘Racist’ for Sending Migrants to Her City

/0 Comments/in , /by

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot lashed out at Texas after her city became the latest target for Gov. Greg Abbott’s migrant busing campaign, calling the move “racist” but saying her city is ready to take the newcomers.

She vowed to welcome the migrants and treat them better than the “racism, discrimination and human cruelty” she said they suffered in Texas, with offers of housing, food and “protection.” Through a spokesperson, she blasted Mr. Abbott for forcing the situation onto her.

“Texas Governor Greg Abbott is without any shame or humanity,” the spokesperson said.

Chicago becomes the latest Democratic-led city to be targeted by Mr. Abbott, who is intent on sharing the massive migrant surge with other parts of the country.

The District of Columbia has received thousands of migrants since the busing campaign started in April. (Read more from “Chicago Mayor Says Texas Is ‘Racist’ for Sending Migrants to Her City” HERE)

Cries of Racism Over Bank of America’s New Mortgage Program Miss the Bigger Issue

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bank of America on Tuesday announced a program to help first-time homebuyers in select communities across the country obtain affordable home loans by nixing closing costs and down payments.

The Community Affordable Loan Solution will be available for certain black and Hispanic neighborhoods in Charlotte, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Miami, though a bank representative claimed applicants don’t necessarily have to be Hispanic or black to qualify.

A statement announcing the program specifically addresses the homeownership disparity between white and black Americans and hispanic and white Americans. . .

‘It’s Wrong’: CNN Blasts Biden for Using Military as Backdrop for ‘Battle’ Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

It didn’t take long after Biden finished his rancid, combative remarks in Philadelphia for the reviews of the latest divisive screed from “Mr. Unity” to come in, and they predictably were not favorable from those among the 70 million Americans he declared were hatefully working to bring about the end of democracy:

In addition to the caustic content of Biden’s message — vote for the people I say or you’re a fascist — the staging was also of note, and not just the ominous red hue that bathed the sides of Independence Hall. No, the two Marines standing at attention behind the president grabbed viewers’ eyes. . .

Meanwhile, even CNN talent was unnerved by the display. Chief National Affairs Correspondent Jeff Zeleny took issue with the staging of the Marines behind Biden for such a political speech, calling it a “break with White House traditions.”

Division of US Military Branch That Faces Down China Orders End of Gender Pronouns; Leaders Claim Move Will Improve Fighting Force’s ‘Lethality’

/1 Comment/in , /by

A division of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces, which faces down China, ordered the end of gender pronouns in written formats, insisting the move to more neutral language will improve the force’s “lethality,” the Washington Free Beacon reported. . .

“In accordance with the Diverse PACAF priority, ‘We must embrace, promote and unleash the potential of diversity and inclusion,” reads a partial copy of a May email to senior leaders and commanders at the Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, which is part of the Pacific Air Forces. The Free Beacon said it obtained the email.

Base leaders were ordered to not use “pronouns, age, race, etc.” in written performance reviews or other materials, such as recommendations for awards, the outlet said, adding that the directive also said “welcoming and employing varied perspectives from a foundation of mutual respect will improve our interoperability, efficiency, creativity, and lethality.”

“Unauthorized” words and phrases include “He/She did” and “Best male/female,” the Free Beacon said.

A base spokesman confirmed the email’s authenticity, the outlet said, adding that the ban on “pronouns, age, race” is “intended to eliminate any information that could identify the nominee’s name, gender, age, or race so that all members had a fair and equal chance at winning.” (Read more from “Division of US Military Branch That Faces Down China Orders End of Gender Pronouns; Leaders Claim Move Will Improve Fighting Force’s ‘Lethality'” HERE)

Democratic Senate Candidate Has Two Convicted Murderers on His Campaign Staff

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate currently employs two convicted murderers on his campaign staff, according to government documents.

John Fetterman, the current lieutenant governor of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Democrat candidate vying for the Senate seat that Sen. Pat Toomey (R) will soon vacate, has on his campaign payroll Dennis and Lee Horton, two brothers convicted of murdering Samuel Alamo nearly 30 years ago.

In May 1993, the Horton brothers and co-conspirator Robert Leaf committed armed robbery at Filito’s Bar in Philadelphia. During the execution of the robbery, three people were shot: Alamo, Luz Archello, and her daughter Luz Martinez.

After the Hortons and Leaf left the bar, a witness was able to give police a description of their getaway vehicle and a partial plate. The cops located the three men and the vehicle about a mile from the bar. Two guns were retrieved from the car, one of which was determined by forensics to be the rifle used in the shooting.

Alamo died from his injuries, but both Archello and Martinez survived and identified the three men as the robbers who had shot them. A third witness who was not injured in the robbery identified them as well. (Read more from “Democratic Senate Candidate Has Two Convicted Murderers on His Campaign Staff” HERE)
