/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. As shocking videos of smash and grab robberies committed by roving bands of shoplifters continue to pop up across the country and violent crime trends upwards from coast to coast, Democrats continue to deny the crises afflicting their communities. But things have gotten so deadly on the streets of American cities from coast to coast that even ABC News is ringing the alarm.

According to an infographic they published based on data gathered from police departments, twelve U.S. cities have broken their annual homicide records in 2021 — and every one is run by Democrats.

Several cities are breaking the records set last year, while others are seeing the deadliest year in decades.

St. Paul, Minnesota, surpassed 35 homicides on December 2nd, more than 2020. Democrat Mayor Melvin Carter has been at the helm since 2018.

In Portland, Oregon — where Democrat Mayor Ted Wheeler has been in charge since 2017 — there have been 72 homicides as of October 24th, the highest number since 1987. (Read more from “The 12 Cities Smashing Annual Homicide Records Have This in Common” HERE)

Country Proposes First Nationwide Smoking Ban

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The government of New Zealand announced an aggressive plan to enact a nationwide smoking ban by 2022 on Thursday.

The new law would effectively be a lifetime smoking ban for individuals aged 14 and under.

The proposed legislation, which is expected to become law next year, is part of a broader effort to phase out the use of all tobacco products in the country by 2025.

If the bill becomes law, it will raise the minimum smoking age gradually until the entire population is affected.

The proposed legislation claims that smoking is the leading cause of preventable death among New Zealanders. (Read more from “Country Proposes First Nationwide Smoking Ban” HERE)

GE, Union Pacific Halt Biden Vaccine Mandate

/0 Comments/in , /by

General Electric Co. and a pair of large railroads suspended their employee vaccine mandates after a judge this week halted the Biden administration’s order requiring workers at federal contractors to get inoculated.

GE “paused the implementation” of the requirement in response to the court’s action, a company representative said by email. Union Pacific Corp. and Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s BNSF Railway have similarly stopped requiring shots, though Union Pacific said it’s still encouraging its employees to get vaccinated and 73% have done so.

Raytheon Technologies Corp., however, said Thursday it will continue to require that employees be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. Workers must be fully inoculated by Jan. 18. (Read more from “GE, Union Pacific Halt Biden Vaccine Mandate” HERE)

The Hits Just Keep On Coming for President Biden and His Low Poll Numbers

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden’s standing with Americans remains in negative territory heading into the final few weeks of 2021.

The president stands at 43% approval and 51% disapproval in a NPR/Marist national survey released on Thursday. A day earlier, a national poll from Monmouth University indicated a 40% approval and a 50% disapproval. Both surveys were conducted in recent days.

An average of all the most recent national polls compiled by Real Clear Politics puts Biden’s approval at 42% and his disapproval at 52%. The average included a large survey from The Wall Street Journal conducted last month that had the president well underwater, at 41%-57%.

While Biden’s numbers remain in the red, most surveys suggest that his domestic agenda is still popular. Many of the latest polls indicate majority support for the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package the president signed into law last month, and for Biden’s nearly $2 trillion social and human infrastructure and climate change combating spending bill – which passed the House last month.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ethan Crumbley, the 15-year-old accused of fatally shooting four classmates in Michigan, and his parents are being held in the same facility, with all three on suicide watch.

James and Jennifer Crumbley and their son are being held at Oakland County Jail in Pontiac, Michigan, and being checked on “multiple times an hour” to prevent suicide, Oakland Country Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Saturday. The three do not have contact with each other, he added.

Ethan Crumbley does not know that his parents, apprehended early Saturday after a manhunt, are also in custody.

“He wouldn’t have been made aware that we were searching for his parents since he’s in isolation, and it’s not like we have a TV clicker in his hands,” Bouchard said. (Read more from “School Shooting Suspect and Parents Held at Same Facility on Suicide Watch” HERE)

Anthony Fauci Is Already Calling for a Fourth COVID Shot

/0 Comments/in , /by

The top immunologist in the U.S. says that a fourth dose of a vaccine to battle COVID-19 and various variants that keep appearing may be needed in the near future.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease, said federal health officials are already investigating the possible need for a fourth dose for people who have had the two-shot regimen followed by a booster shot.

Fauci’s warning came after Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla also said a fourth dose may be needed, and maybe faster than Fauci’s timeline. And Fauci said a third shot is now most definitely needed for better protection.

“Certainly, when you want to talk about what optimal protection is, I don’t think anybody would argue that optimal protection is going to be with a third shot,” Fauci said on CNN on Wednesday.

The top immunologist’s declaration came the same day that Pfizer announced that the fully vaccinated — those with two shots — will need a booster shot or their level of protection will drop.

On Wednesday, Pfizer-BioNTech reported that initial results from studies examining how well their vaccine protects against a new coronavirus variant found that a booster shot — on top of a two-dose vaccine regimen — neutralizes Omicron in lab studies.

Donald Trump: ‘Laughable’ to Claim Media Tougher on Biden; ‘They Are Treating Him With Kid Gloves’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that he thinks it is “laughable” to claim the media are tougher on President Joe Biden than they were on him.

“They are treating him [Biden] with kid gloves,” Trump responded when asked in an interview to respond to a Washington Post column that claimed the media are tougher on Biden than they were on him.

This clip from the interview aired on Thursday on Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel. The full interview will air on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel at 11:00 a.m. Eastern this weekend. Breitbart News Saturday runs from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Eastern every Saturday.

Trump appeared on the program to promote his new book, Our Journey Together, a collection of photos from his time in the White House. The book, which is available at 45Books.com, is published by Winning Team Publishing and has now sold more than 140,000 copies since it was first released.

Trump’s comments came in response to a column from Dana Milbank in the Post, which Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klein, also promoted on his Twitter account endorsing the sentiment Trump considers “laughable”–that the media are tougher on Biden than they were on Trump.

Accuser Says She Saw Ghislaine Maxwell “Nude and Pregnant”; So Where’s the Baby?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. One of Ghislaine Maxwell’s accusers claimed she once saw a photo of the British socialite “nude and pregnant” inside of Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida mansion.

The woman, who testified using only her first name, Carolyn, was asked by defense attorneys at Maxwell’s federal sex-trafficking trial in Manhattan about statements she’d previously made to prosecutors.

“One of your memories about Ms. Maxwell is you claim that you saw a photograph of her in Epstein’s house, pregnant. Correct?” lawyer Jeffrey Pagliuca asked Tuesday, referring to Epstein’s Palm Beach estate.

“Nude and pregnant laying on the –” Carolyn began to respond — at which point Pagliuca interjected, “And pregnant.”

“Yes. There was multiple pictures, nude photos,” the witness replied after a pause. (Read more from “Accuser Says She Saw Ghislaine Maxwell “Nude and Pregnant”; So Where’s the Baby?” HERE)

Ghislaine Maxwell’s Defense Is to Blame the Victims

By CNN. Ghislaine Maxwell is not ready to face the music. Maxwell, the longtime friend and companion of mysterious millionaire and alleged sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, is on trial for what prosecutors say was her role in a sex-trafficking operation, recruiting underage girls for exploitation by Epstein. Maxwell has pleaded not guilty. Epstein killed himself in jail in 2019, before he could be tried. . .

The women who have accused Epstein of sex crimes made clear that he was not acting alone; they say Maxwell had a clear hand in the operation, and that both Maxwell and Epstein made their wealth, power and connections clear — perhaps a suggestion that the girls brought to Epstein should feel special, and a reminder that Maxwell and Epstein were untouchable.

The good news is that in seeking to hold Maxwell accountable, prosecutors appear to be assessing the whole structure of abuse beyond just the alleged abuser. The bad news is that Maxwell seems to have little remorse or interest in even being honest about what happened. . .

The Maxwell defense thus far has amounted to “memory, manipulation and money,” as Maxwell’s lawyer Bobbi Sternheim put it during her opening statement. In other words: The women testifying can’t accurately remember 20-year-old events; they are manipulating the system by only coming forward recently; and they are chasing a payday, not justice.

Idiot Judge Orders Vaccination of 11 Year Old Over Her Scientist-Father’s Objections

/0 Comments/in , /by

An upstate New York judge has sided with a mother in ordering her 11-year-old daughter to get vaccinated against COVID-19 — despite the father’s concerns.

Jeannie Figer in late November brought her estranged husband, Donald Figer, back to court in their 2012 divorce case to ask a judge to allow her to vaccinate her daughter over Donald’s objections.

Donald — a scientist and college professor “at one of the area’s premier institutions” — asked his ex not to rush to vaccinate their young daughter, saying there hadn’t been any studies conducted on the long-term side effects, according to court papers.

But Monroe County Supreme Court Justice Richard Dollinger disagreed, saying time is of the essence when it comes to getting the girl protected. . .

Dollinger ordered Jeannie to schedule an appointment for her daughter to get the shot immediately. (Read more from “Idiot Judge Orders Vaccination of 11 Year Old Over Her Scientist-Father’s Objections” HERE)

Former Congressman Sues Nancy Pelosi and Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Panel Members

By Washington Examiner. Mark Meadows is suing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and members of the House select committee tasked with investigating the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill.

The lawsuit, filed in D.C. federal court on Wednesday, comes after the panel said it had “no choice” but to move forward with recommending criminal contempt of Congress proceedings against the subpoenaed former Trump White House chief of staff after he changed course and said he would no longer cooperate with its investigation.

Mark Meadows Sues Nancy Pelosi to Avoid Testifying Before Capitol Riot Committee

By The Daily Beast. Donald Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows has sued House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in an attempt to skirt testifying before the panel.

The move comes the same day the committee indicated it would move forward with contempt charges after Meadows didn’t show up for his scheduled deposition.

Meadows’ attorneys wrote in the suit, filed in Washington D.C. federal court on Wednesday, that if Meadows does comply with the committee’s request, he would be “illegally coerced into violating the Constitution.”

“The Select Committee wrongly seeks to compel both Mr. Meadows and a third party telecommunications company to provide information to the Select Committee that the Committee lacks lawful authority to seek and to obtain,” his lawyers said. They alleged the committee’s subpoena would “violate longstanding principles of executive privilege and immunity.” (Read more from “Mark Meadows Sues Nancy Pelosi to Avoid Testifying Before Capitol Riot Committee” HERE)
