/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that new witnesses are coming forward after the testimony from Mark Meadows’ former aide Cassidy Hutchinson to the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 riot. . .

Kinzinger said, “…Again, I don’t want to get into who or any of those details, but – and it’s not even just Cassidy. By the way, she’s been inspiring for a lot of people. This happens every day. Every day we get new people that come forward and say, hey, I didn’t think maybe this piece of a story I knew was important, but now that you guys are – I do see this plays in here. But, yeah, I mean, look, she is going to go down in history as – mean, people can forget the names of every one of us on the committee. They will not forget her name. She doesn’t want that. She doesn’t want to be out in the public spotlight, but she has a commitment to truth.” (Read more from “January 6 Committee: New Witnesses Coming Forward Following Hutchinson’s Testimony” HERE)

Text Messages Show Ex-Aide Cassidy Hutchinson Referring to January 6 Committee as ‘BS’

By Daily Caller. The January 6 committee’s key witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, called the committee “bs” in a text message obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller.

On Feb 1. Hutchinson sent a text to a conservative activist with connections to the First Amendment Fund, which is a group started by the American Conservative Union that helps Trump officials cover costs for Jan. 6 lawyers. Matt Schlapp said Hutchinson approached CPAC for help through the First Amendment Fund. Schlapp said he is happy they did not end up assisting her because she was relaying White House “hallway gossip as fact.” . . .

In the text message, Hutchinson says: “Hey (redacted)! This is Cassidy Hutchinson. Kind of a random question, but do you still work for the Schlapp’s at the ACU?” . . .

Hutchinson then said, “Do you happen to know a First Amendment fund POC I could reach out to? I was subpoenaed in early Nov., but the committee waited to serve me until last week (after Ben’s deposition).”

“I had to accept service because the U.S. Marshalls came to my apartment last Wednesday, but I haven’t made contact with the Committee. I’m just on a tight timeline and just trying to figure out what my options are to deal with this bs,” Hutchinson added.

One Major Group of Voters Fleeing ‘Woke’ Politics of Democrats

/0 Comments/in , , /by

After this month’s historic special election win in South Texas, Republican strategists nationwide are asking themselves: how can we replicate now-Congresswoman Mayra Flores’s success in flipping an 84% Hispanic district to the GOP? Meantime, Democrats are burying their heads in the South Texas sand as Hispanic voters flee their party.

It’s not rocket science to appeal to Hispanic voters and persuade them to vote Republican. My firm’s work with the Hispanic Republican Coalition of Pennsylvania shows how to do it.

Our polling shows us that welcoming Hispanic voters to the GOP requires something fairly simple: a message on key issues, delivered in English and Spanish.

Take our recent poll of Hispanic voters in Pennsylvania’s swingy 7th and 8th congressional districts in the Lehigh Valley, a booming logistics hub, and in historically Democratic Northeastern Pennsylvania. These areas are packed with manufacturing and warehousing jobs, and workers have flocked to them. Many Hispanic families came here two generations ago for a better quality of life; more arrived in recent years from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, by way of New York City. Their concerns are those of working people: high gas prices, a baby formula shortage, and soaring crime.

A significant number of Hispanic voters here say that they’re registered Democrats who now consider themselves Republicans. In our polling, Democrats are leading the generic Senate ballot by 50-38%, with 9% of Hispanic voters undecided. If we split those undecided voters in November, the result – winning support from over four in ten Pennsylvania Hispanics – would be a sea change in voting habits, driving several endangered Democrats out of their seats and retaining the open U.S. Senate seat for Republican Mehmet Oz.

Supreme Court Poised to End Leftwing Election Shenanigans

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Blue state judges and liberal bureaucrats caught flak for littering their states with drop-boxes and accepting mail-in ballots during the 2020 election without permission from lawmakers. The Supreme Court is poised to stop them from doing it again in 2024.

The justices announced Thursday that they will hear a case later this year involving the “independent state legislature theory,” which holds that state lawmakers alone control election procedures and redistricting. The news invigorated conservative groups who say bureaucratic tinkering with district lines and election laws is destroying public confidence in the political process.

“Dark money-fueled left-wing lawyers have misused the courts to manipulate election laws and undermine commonsense voting safeguards for political gain,” the Honest Election Project’s Jason Snead said. “The Supreme Court now has the chance to uphold the Constitution and ensure that future elections have safeguards that make it easier to vote and harder to cheat.”

The justices stepped into a heated debate by taking the case. Late-breaking changes to election procedures helped fuel former president Donald Trump’s narrative that Democrats stole the 2020 election. For their part, Democrats see the case as yet another attack on voting rights, and a bid to insulate pro-gerrymandering lawmakers from judicial scrutiny.

The Constitution provides that the “time, place, and manner” of elections shall be “prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof.” A second rule with similar language governs selection of presidential electors. On that basis, Republican lawyers say each state legislature has the final say on election rules, such as voter ID laws or absentee balloting, as well as the decennial redistricting process. Neither state courts nor state agencies can interfere. (Read more from “Supreme Court Poised to End Leftwing Election Shenanigans” HERE)

/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)
