Arizona AG Asked To Conduct Election Interference Investigation Into Trump

/1 Comment/in , /by

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs urged Attorney General Mark Brnovich to investigate election interference by former President Donald Trump and his allies in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential race.

Hobbs, a Democrat running for governor, insisted the 45th president and others engaged in behaviors that “involve clear efforts to induce supervisors to refuse to comply with their duties,” as she referenced at least one alleged felony violation in a letter to the state’s top prosecutor. Hobbs cited repeated phone calls from the White House in early January directed at Clint Hickman, a Republican and top Maricopa County supervisor, and voicemails from Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani and Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward.

“As you said just last week, ‘Fair elections are the cornerstone of our republic, and they start with rational laws that protect both the right to vote and the accuracy of the results,’” Hobbs wrote, according to the Arizona Republic. “Arizona law protects election officials from those who would seek to interfere with their sacred duties to ascertain and certify the will of the voters.”

The news outlet recently obtained multiple text messages and voicemails that Trump wanted to chat with Hickman, who said he ignored the White House at the time. Hickman described the barrage of messages as “horrifying” after it was revealed Trump attempted to pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes,” a number that would grant him a victory in the state awarded to President Joe Biden.

That call is now under scrutiny as part of a criminal investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the Nov. 3 election in Fulton County. (Read more from “Arizona AG Asked To Conduct Election Interference Investigation Into Trump” HERE)

Washington Post Calls Out WH for Claim Republicans Are Defunding Police

/0 Comments/in , /by

On June 23, from the White House podium, Jen Psaki claimed — to much surprise and befuddlement — that Republicans were the party working to defund the police, not Democrats. The claim was so “utterly ludicrous — as Guy pointed out here — that even The Washington Post couldn’t resist fact-checking the White House’s assertion.

In a Wednesday morning fact check, The Washington Post calls the White House’s claim “slipshod” and points out that “although Republicans all opposed Biden’s coronavirus relief package, no one voted to cut, or defund, anything. Rather, Democrats proposed $350 billion in emergency funds for state and local governments, and Republicans voted against those extra funds. That’s not a reduction,” the WaPo piece explains.

The White House stretched again to try and justify their claim when WaPo reached out with questions about the claim saying “Republicans were ‘effectively’ trying to defund the police by withholding support for the coronavirus relief package.”

The Post didn’t buy this explanation either, noting that “voting against a one-time infusion of cash is not the same as voting to cut funding, so there is little basis to claim that Republicans are trying to ‘defund the police.'” (Read more from “Washington Post Calls Out WH for Claim Republicans Are Defunding Police” HERE)

Things To Know About the ‘Rise of the Moors’ Militia Group

/1 Comment/in , /by

Members of the “Rise of the Moors” armed militia appeared in a Massachusetts court Tuesday after being charged with multiple crimes over the Independence Day weekend. The defendants denied the court’s jurisdiction and claimed to have committed no crimes.

Massachusetts State Police arrested 11 people on Saturday who allegedly claimed to be members of a group known as the “Rise of the Moors,” Breitbart Texas reported. The arrests followed an hours-long standoff with the armed members on Interstate 95 near Wakefield after suspects reportedly said they do not “recognize our laws.” . . .

During a Zoom hearing, multiple members of the group claimed the court has no jurisdiction over them, the Boston Herald report continued. Several members provided fake names. Two refused to provide any names at all.

During the nine-hour standoff, the members of the group told police they were not carrying gun licenses and they did not recognize state laws, The Washington Post reported. . .

The “Rise of the Moors” is based in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, according to its website. The Washington Post reports a claim from Mark Pitcavage, a senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, that the men who were arrested are “adherents of the ‘Moorish Sovereign Citizens.’” They are part of a group that reportedly believes they are part of a sovereign nation and are thus not subject to U.S. law.

Human Smugglers Toss Infants Into Texas Border River

/1 Comment/in , /by

Border Patrol agents and Coast Guard crews rescued migrants across the Rio Grande Valley Sector after human smugglers put them in jeopardy. In multiple incidents, smugglers moved women, children, and even infants into the river that separates Texas and Mexico. One woman was saved after an alleged sexual assault attempt.

McAllen Station Border Patrol agents encountered a female migrant on Monday evening who ran toward them. The woman told the agents she had just escaped from an attacker, according to information obtained from Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol officials.

The woman, a Honduran national, had just illegally crossed the border with her husband and a young child, she told the agents. She said the smuggler separated her from her family and told them to hide in a different area. After moving away with the woman, the smuggler forced her to the ground and tore her shirt and pants, officials reported. She began to fight back and eventually escaped and fled to the agents. The agents contacted local law enforcement officials to launch an investigation into the alleged attack. The agents did not find the perpetrator of the assault.

U.S. Coast Guard riverine units patrolling the Rio Grande near Mission, Texas, on Sunday afternoon encountered a raft loaded with nine people, officials stated. The people in the partially deflated raft included a nine-month-old child. . .

The crewmen pulled the nine migrants, including the infant, into their vessel and transported them to the riverbank where Border Patrol agents conducted medical screenings and transported them to the station for processing.

What Are They Trying To Hide? CRT Resolutions Mysteriously Disappear From Teachers Union Website

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last week, the National Education Association (NEA), the largest teachers union in America, passed resolutions promoting Marxist critical race theory (CRT) in schools and committing to fighting CRT opponents. Days after the 2021 Annual Meeting and Representative Assembly, dozens of those assembly resolutions and proposed resolutions disappeared from the NEA website.

Jessica Anderson, executive director at Heritage Action, first noted the deletions on Tuesday.

“The NEA, the nation’s largest teacher’s union, used their annual business meeting to cement a coordinated, national campaign to advance the divisive Critical Race Theory ideology. Once the news broke, parents everywhere erupted with concern. Now, the NEA is working to cover up their indoctrination of America’s students, and teachers by scrubbing the agenda items from their website,” Anderson said in a statement on Wednesday.

“Americans want unity and truth — not the divisive Marxism seeded in CRT. Parents like me refuse to accept this top-down attack from well-funded, Left-wing teacher’s unions,” she added.

“[Three] days after their annual meeting concludes, [the NEA], the nation’s largest teacher’s union, scrubs the agenda items announcing their nationwide campaign to push CRT from their website,” Anderson originally noted on Twitter. “Why are they covering up their support for CRT?”

Spotify Staff Reportedly ‘Outraged’ by Joe Rogan’s Show

/1 Comment/in , /by

Joe Rogan, the notoriously polarizing host of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” America’s most popular podcast in 2020, is upsetting some Spotify staffers, according to a report. Employee complaints, however, fall on the deaf ears of company executives who paid the 53-year-old comedian more than $100 million to exclusively stream on the platform.

“I’m personally bothered by his transphobic comments and am concerned with the way he might spread misinformation,” one Spotify employee wrote last fall on an internal networking channel on the app Fishbowl, Insider reported Tuesday.

A former employee told the publication that, during his time at Spotify, the decision to sign a deal with Rogan was the most contentious one the company made.

However, another employee told Insider that it’s only “a loud minority of people who are outraged” at Rogan. (Read more from “Spotify Staff Reportedly ‘Outraged’ by Joe Rogan’s Show” HERE)

Major U.S. Defense Contractor Pushes White Employees To Confront Their ‘Privilege’ In Leaked Documents

/0 Comments/in , /by

Newly leaked documents show the second-largest defense contractor in America launched a Critical Race Theory (CRT) program last summer in which white employees are encouraged to confront their “privilege,” reject the principle of “equality,” and “defund the police.”

Activist Christopher Rufo published internal documents from Raytheon Tuesday that give an inside look into the company’s CRT programs.

Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes launched the “Stronger Together” campaign, instructing employees on “becoming an anti-racist today,” asked all employees to sign a “corporate diversity” pledge and check their biases, according to the leaked documents.

The program embraces the concept of “intersectionality,” encouraging white employees to “identify their privilege” and “step aside” for minority voices that are “more important than your own,” documents show.

FBI Still on Hunt for Suspects in Capitol Riot Despite More Than 500 Arrests

/1 Comment/in , /by

More than 500 people have been arrested for the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, as authorities search for more suspects six months later.

At least 165 of the 535 people arrested in connection with the attack have been charged with assault, but “some of the most violent offenders have yet to be identified,” said Steven M. D’Antuono, assistant director of the FBI Washington Field Office.

The FBI released new videos of what the agency says are “suspects in 11 of the most violent and horrifying assaults on federal officers” during the riot.

In one video, an officer is knocked to the ground as the outnumbered police attempt to quell the mob. In another, an officer can be seen struggling to hold onto a police baton as a person wearing a blue Trump flag as a cape tries to snatch it. . .

“As we mark six months since the violence at our nation’s Capitol, we continue to encourage the public to send tips to the FBI,” Mr. D’Antuono said in a statement. “As we have seen with dozens of cases so far, the tips matter.” (Read more from “FBI Still on Hunt for Suspects in Capitol Riot Despite More Than 500 Arrests” HERE)

Gas Prices Have Surged 40 Percent Under Biden — and They’re Getting Worse

/0 Comments/in , /by

Gas prices are through the roof under the Joe Biden presidency, and analysts say they’re only going to get worse.

After the price of gas clocked in at its most expensive since 2014 prior to the July 4 weekend — at an average of $3.11 a gallon, according to the American Automobile Association — a report from Tuesday indicates a 2-cent increase to $3.13 a gallon. Since Jan. 1, when the national average gas price was $2.25 per gallon, the price of gasoline has risen 40 percent.

“Robust gasoline demand and more expensive crude oil prices are pushing gas prices higher,” said Jeanette McGee, an American Automobile Association spokeswoman. “We had hoped that global crude production increases would bring some relief at the pump this month, but weekend OPEC negotiations fell through with no agreement reached. As a result, crude prices are set to surge to a seven-year high.” (Read more from “Gas Prices Have Surged 40 Percent Under Biden — and They’re Getting Worse” HERE)
