Trouble at Mickey Mouse Club: Blackburn Rips ‘Woke-Left’ Disney

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sunday on New York WABC 770 AM radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) reacted to Disney CEO Bob Chapek’s support of transgender instruction for children from kindergarten through third grade after the Florida legislature passed the Parental Rights in Education bill.

Blackburn told host John Catsimatidis that parents take their children to Disney World in Florida for fun rather than “have their kids go through some kind of nightmare.” She lamented that Disney also took out its famous greeting of “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.” (Read more from “Trouble at Mickey Mouse Club: Blackburn Rips ‘Woke-Left’ Disney” HERE)

Facebook and Twitter Are ‘Rejecting Republicans’: NYC GOP Lawmakers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Facebook and Twitter are waging war on the New York City Council’s GOP members, disabling or refusing to verify some of their accounts — including that of a Ukrainian native-turned-national figure, the pols claim.

Brooklyn Republican Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, who was born in Ukraine, says Twitter denied her request for verified status with no specific explanation.

“Welcome to the USSR — United States of Soviet Republic,” Vernikov told The Post.

“The problem is I am a conservative. They’re stifling conservative voices. There is no other reason,” she said.

The conservative politician is well-known for winning a seat on Democratic turf last fall and has been interviewed by numerous national and state media outlets discussing the Russian invasion of Ukraine. She has more than 11,000 Twitter followers and recently met with former President Trump. (Read more from “Facebook and Twitter Are ‘Rejecting Republicans’: NYC GOP Lawmakers” HERE)

Report: Joe Biden ‘Confident’ Hunter Didn’t Break Law in Dealings With Ukraine, China

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden believes his son Hunter did nothing illegal while involved in controversial and highly lucrative business dealings in Ukraine and China and is allowing the Justice Department to carry out its investigation unimpeded, the White House chief of staff said Sunday.

“Of course the president’s confident that his son didn’t break the law. But, most importantly, as I said, that’s a matter that’s going to be decided by the Justice Department, by the legal process,” Ron Klain said on ABC News’ “This Week.”

“It’s something that no one at the White House has involvement in.”

But ABC’s George Stephanopoulos pressed Klain on a report in the Washington Post last week that said a Chinese energy conglomerate paid Hunter Biden and the president’s brother, James, $4.8 million over a 14-month period.

Stephanopoulos asked Klain if the White House is positive that no ethical lines were crossed. (Read more from “Report: Joe Biden ‘Confident’ Hunter Didn’t Break Law in Dealings With Ukraine, China” HERE)

Biden’s War on Drilling Likely to Hurt Key Conservation Efforts

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s climate policy — which has led to major delays to the federal oil and gas leasing program — may hamper key bipartisan conservation programs.

Shortly after taking office in January 2021, Biden ordered the Department of the Interior (DOI) to pause all new oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters and initiate a review of the program’s climate impacts. While the moratorium was halted by a federal court in June, the administration has continued to delay and drag its feet on both onshore and offshore leasing.

In its budget proposal released Monday, the DOI suggested that no new offshore lease sales would occur until at least October 2023. The most recent offshore lease sale occurred during the Trump administration.

“The president has repeatedly said his administration is using every tool at its disposal to address rising energy costs and, recently, the administration began acknowledging for the first time the need for more American oil and gas production,” Frank Macchiarola, the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) senior vice president of policy, economics and regulatory affairs, said during a press briefing this week.

“The Biden administration’s lack of progress on offshore leasing is a clear example of the large gap between rhetoric and reality,” he added. (Read more from “Biden’s War on Drilling Likely to Hurt Key Conservation Efforts” HERE)

Roger Stone Defends Madison Cawthorn and Says He Can Confirm DC’s Cocaine-Fueled Orgies ‘First Hand’; Former MAGA Senate Candidate Says Cawthorn Is Right — And GOP Is Loaded With ‘Drug-Sniffing’ Child Traffickers

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Independent. Roger Stone, a longtime confidante and ally of Donald Trump, came to the defence of far-right Rep Madison Cawthorn on Thursday in a way the freshman congressman will probably wish he hadn’t.

Speaking with the conspiracy purveyors on Alex Jones’s InfoWars, Mr Stone weighed in on the evolving controversy surrounding Mr Cawthorn’s claim that he had been invited to orgies by veteran figures on Capitol Hill and witnessed others doing cocaine, claiming that he could confirm both practices to be alive and well.

“I can tell you first hand that these parties happen. I can tell you that they continue to happen. I can tell you that Madison Cawthorn told me yesterday that he had not retracted what he said, even though Kevin McCarthy has popped up and is now speaking for the member of Congress,” Mr Stone alleged.

His claims are likely only to fuel the growing animosity that members of the GOP House and Senate caucuses are beginning to express openly towards the 26-year-old Mr Cawthorn, the youngest-serving member of Congress. The original comments by the North Carolina freshman member, made earlier this week, exploded across social media after they were published in a video interview and resulted in Mr Cawthorn being hauled into a meeting with GOP leaders Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise for a dressing-down on Wednesday.

“Some of the people leading on the movement to try and remove addiction in our country, and then you watch them do a key bump of cocaine right in front of you. And it’s like, this is wild,” stated the lawmaker. (Read more from “Roger Stone Defends Madison Cawthorn and Says He Can Confirm DC’s Cocaine-Fueled Orgies ‘First Hand’” HERE)

Former MAGA Senate Candidate Says Madison Cawthorn Is Right — And GOP Is Loaded With ‘Drug-Sniffing’ Child Traffickers

By Raw Story. On Thursday, Lauren Witzke, the far-right former Republican Senate nominee for Delaware, claimed on The Stew Peters Show that Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) “exposed” the GOP as child traffickers with his recent assertion that Republican members of Congress engage in drug-fueled orgies — an unsubstantiated claim that has gotten him broadly disowned by many Republican officials in his state.

The claim came during a discussion of the sex trafficking ring of the late billionaire wealth manager Jeffrey Epstein, and the people who may have patronized his parties. . .

“When we hear congressmen like Congressman Cawthorn speak out in this manner, we have to applaud them,” said co-host Edward Szall. “We have to stand with them because what he’s doing is he’s showing us behind the scenes. He’s showing us behind the curtain. The emperor’s not just naked, the emperor’s having sex with a kid. Okay?”

“Yes,” said Witzke. “And not only that, now [House Minority Leader Kevin] McCarthy’s getting involved. He heard about it. It sparked some outrage. It’s upset some people in the GOP that Madison Cawthorn would have the audacity to expose them for the orgy-attending, drug-sniffing, children-raping people that they are.” (Read more from “Former MAGA Senate Candidate Says Madison Cawthorn Is Right — And GOP Is Loaded With ‘Drug-Sniffing’ Child Traffickers” HERE)

The Countries That Locked Down the Hardest Are Now Being Decimated by COVID-19

/0 Comments/in , /by

Several of the countries that pursued a “zero-COVID” strategy or otherwise implemented harsh lockdown restrictions are now facing their most devastating waves of the pandemic. . .

China implemented perhaps the most draconian measures in the world to fight COVID-19, deploying advanced tech to track each citizen’s every movement, lock people in their homes if exposed to the virus and shutting down entire cities at the first sign of a small outbreak. Numbers reported by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which are disputed by many experts, painted a picture of a massive country keeping spread of the virus to an impressively limited level. According to CCP data, the country averaged less than 200 cases per day from March 2020 all the way until February 2022.

Now, the country is being overwhelmed with outbreaks. Nearly one-third of the total cases in the country for the entirety of the pandemic occurred in March. March 19, CCP authorities reported the country’s first COVID-19 deaths since January 2021. Military reserves have been activated to prevent people from leaving cities or even buildings where outbreaks have been detected. Parts of Shanghai, China’s financial center, and its 26 million residents have been locked down. . .

Some experts have said South Korea had the best pandemic response in the world. Through strict surveillance and tracing tools, the country was able to pursue a zero-COVID strategy without resorting to the draconian lockdowns seen in many other places around the world. South Korea’s policies were highly invasive, with infected residents having their phone and credit card data tracked to retrace their movements, close contacts of the infected were required to isolate for two weeks with twice-a-day check-ins from government COVID-19 monitors, and individuals who got the virus were sent to government isolation facilities.

All of it appeared to be for naught in March 2022, with daily cases peaking at more than 621,000. The country’s death count more than doubled in March alone. (Read more from “The Countries That Locked Down the Hardest Are Now Being Decimated by COVID-19” HERE)

Survey: 1/3 of Americans Have to Cut Groceries to Buy Gas

/0 Comments/in , /by

Over one-third of Americans say they have had to cut groceries in order to afford gas as prices skyrocket in the second year of Biden’s presidency, a Quinnipiac University survey released this week found.

Gas prices have skyrocketed throughout President Biden’s time in office. As of Thursday, the national gas price average stood at $4.225 per gallon, although some parts of the country are seeing prices well over $6.00 per gallon.

While Biden has deflected, continuing to blame Russia for rising prices and inflation rather than his own bad economic policies and determination to quash American energy independence, not all Americans are buying it. A plurality, 41 percent, directly blame high gas prices on Biden’s economic policies, per the survey.

It also asked respondents, “As a result of the rise in gas prices, have you cut back your spending on groceries so that you can pay for gas, or not?”

Over one-third of Americans, 35 percent, said “yes,” they have had to cut back on groceries. Party by party, 46 percent of Republicans said they have had to cut back on groceries, and 22 percent of Democrats and 36 percent of independent voters say the same.

Joe Biden to Open the Border on May 23

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s deputies have announced they will lift the Title 42 barrier at the southern border on May 23, allowing a vast wave of wage-cutting, rent-spiking migrants into America’s job and housing markets.

“We are increasing our capacity to process new arrivals, evaluate asylum requests,” said a statement from Alejandro Mayorkas, who heads Biden’s Department of Homeland Security and is trying to build an extra immigration system that operates alongside annual limits set by Congress.

The formal announcement implies that the president will not block the border-opening plan by his deputies.

Without the Title 42 rules, Mayorkas and his allies insist they are required to let anyone at the border appeal for asylum. The process has been overloaded, ensuring that all people who apply for asylum can legally work and live in the United States for several years.

“Their plan is to move people into the country faster,” Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) said on March 30. “That’s their whole plan.” (Read more from “Joe Biden to Open the Border on May 23” HERE)

Intel Official Who Signed Hunter Biden Letter Picked for Afghanistan Commission

/0 Comments/in , /by

The newest Democratic selection for the Afghanistan War Commission is an MSNBC pundit who was among dozens of former intelligence officials who signed a letter in October 2020 claiming without evidence that the Hunter Biden laptop story was part of a Russian operation.

The Democratic chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Washington Rep. Adam Smith, announced he had picked Jeremy Bash for the Afghanistan investigation Friday, with the biography for Bash noting he served as chief of staff at the Pentagon and chief of staff at the CIA during the Obama administration. Former CIA Director Leon Panetta, for whom Bash worked, also signed the letter.

Bash’s LinkedIn lists himself as the founder of Beacon Global Strategies and as a national security analyst at NBC News and MSNBC.

Despite offering no proof, Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign, along with many in the media, dismissed the laptop story as being a Russian disinformation operation. After the New York Post published emails belonging to his son, Joe Biden called the story “garbage” and part of a “Russian plan” during an October 2020 debate with then-President Donald Trump.
