Liz Cheney Removed From Position As House GOP Conference Chair

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans ousted Rep. Liz Cheney from her leadership position Wednesday, a rare move that highlights the power that former President Donald Trump still holds in the party.

Cheney — daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and one of Trump’s most vocal critics — served as the House Republican Conference chairwoman, a position that entails leading the chamber’s messaging efforts.

Speaking moments after the vote to remove her from the No. 3 spot, Cheney (R-Wyo.) said she thinks it shows the GOP’s current state.

“I think that it is an indication of where the Republican Party is, and I think that the party is in a place that we’ve got to bring it back from, and we’ve got to get back to a position where we are a party that can fight for conservative principles, that can fight for substance. We cannot be dragged backward by the very dangerous lies of a former president,” the Wyoming Republican said. (Read more from “Liz Cheney Removed From Position As House GOP Conference Chair” HERE)

100 Former GOP Officials: Dump Trump Or We’ll Start A New Republican Party

/0 Comments/in , , /by

More than 100 former Republican officials threatened to create a new political party if the Republican Party remains with former President Donald Trump, Reuters reported.

The letter, titled “A Call For American Renewal,” was expected to be released Thursday. Beyond discussing the creation of a third party, the letter will go after Trump’s false claims of a stolen election, according to Reuters.

The group first threatened to create a new political party in February in the wake of the Capitol Riot and Trump’s second impeachment, Reuters noted. One of the groups organizers, former Chief of Staff in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Miles Taylor, said, “The Republican Party is broken. It’s time for a resistance of the ‘rationals’ against the ‘radicals.’” . . .

Other former Republican officials that backed Taylor’s group included a number of former President George W. Bush appointees, such as former DHS Secretary Tom Ridge, former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Christine Todd Whitman, and former Bush Transportation Secretary Mary Peters among them, Reuters reported.

Where’s the Outrage? COVID Masks Are Piling Up In the Ocean

/1 Comment/in , /by

There once was a time when leftists at least pretended to care about the environment. Remember the brouhaha over how plastic straws were going to destroy the planet and we had to replace them with those crappy paper straws that literally melt in your mouth? You know, for the sea turtles, or something? . . .

From National Geographic:

“A year ago, the idea that disposable face masks, gloves, and wipes could become global environmental pollutants was not a pressing concern. Personal protective equipment, PPE for short, was seen as essential for preventing the spread of COVID-19. No one imagined just how much of it would be needed, for so long. Then production exploded—and now the litter is inescapable. . .

A separate study reports that 3.4 billion face masks or face shields are discarded every day. Asia is projected to throw away 1.8 billion face masks daily, the highest quantity of any continent globally. China, with the world’s largest population (1.4 billion) discards nearly 702 million face masks daily.

All may be called disposable, because they’re cheap enough to be used once and then thrown away. But here’s the hitch: They don’t actually go away.”

Numbers Undercut Biden Administration Claims on Ghost Guns

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration is cracking down on so-called ghost guns to solve America’s epidemic of gun violence but crime stats from major cities and the Justice Department suggest the do-it-yourself weapons are a small part of the problem. . .

Democrats praised the idea and pointed to cities that report spikes in the use of ghost guns, though DIY firearms remain a small percentage of all firearms seized by police.

In Chicago, for example, only 139 out of the 11,258 firearms seized last year — roughly 1.2% — were ghost guns. That number, however, represents a 93% increase from the 72 ghost guns seized in 2019.

Philadelphia police in 2019 seized 95 ghost guns, accounting for 2.2% of the 4,264 guns they confiscated. In 2018, Philadelphia police confiscated 13 ghost guns. . .

A 2019 Justice Department study found that 43% of criminals purchased their weapons on the black market, but none made their weapons at home. (Read more from “Numbers Undercut Biden Administration Claims on Ghost Guns” HERE)

Boarding School Turns Over Its Chaplain To Anti-Terrorism Authorities for Preaching Against LGBT Policies

/1 Comment/in , /by

A boarding school in the United Kingdom secretly turned over its chaplain to an anti-terrorism program after preaching a sermon in which he defended students’ rights to question the school’s new LGBTQ policies, the Daily Mail reported. . .

The Rev. Dr. Bernard Randall told students at independent Trent College near Nottingham that it was OK for them to disagree with the policies, especially if they go against Church of England principles, the outlet said.

One of the school’s new policies was to “develop a whole school LGBT+ inclusive curriculum,” the Daily Mail said.

But when the powers that be at the boarding school deemed Randall’s sermon “harmful” to LGBTQ students, the school turned him in to Prevent, which the outlet said normally identifies individuals at risk of radicalization.

However, after police investigated the tip, they told Trent College that the 48-year-old chaplain posed “no counter terrorism risk, or risk of radicalization,” the Daily Mail said, adding that Derbyshire Police confirmed the case “did not meet the threshold for a Prevent referral.” (Read more from “Boarding School Turns Over Its Chaplain To Anti-Terrorism Authorities for Preaching Against LGBT Policies” HERE)

More Than 8K ‘Remain In Mexico’ Illegals Released In U.S.

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s administration has released into the United States interior more than 8,300 migrants enrolled in the now-defunct “Remain in Mexico” program, offering them work permits to take American jobs.

After taking office in January, Biden ended the Remain in Mexico program, which had proven remarkably effective in eliminating the Catch and Release policy whereby border crossers are apprehended and subsequently released into the U.S. interior while awaiting their asylum hearings.

As of February, of the more than 71,000 asylum cases under Remain in Mexico, less than one percent of foreign nationals were found to have a legitimate asylum claim.

Biden announced in February that his Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with the help of the United Nations, would start releasing about 25,600 migrants enrolled in the program into the U.S. interior. Breitbart News exclusively reported that the migrants are being released in Brownsville and El Paso, Texas, as well as San Diego, California.

Judge Tosses NRA Bankruptcy Filing

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Texas judge on Tuesday tossed the National Rifle Association’s bankruptcy filing, calling into question the beleaguered advocacy group’s attempt to move to the state.

Judge Harlin Hale of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Dallas dismissed the group’s Chapter 11 filing, writing that CEO Wayne LaPierre was using the filing “to gain an unfair litigation advantage” and “to avoid a state regulatory scheme.”

Hale wrote in his opinion that the organization has strayed from its original intended purpose, which was to advocate for a broad reading of the Second Amendment.

“The mission and function of the NRA is focused on gun safety, and the NRA asserts it is ‘the nation’s foremost defender’ of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution,” he wrote. “In recent years, however, it has become apparent that the NRA was suffering from inadequate governance and internal controls.” (Read more from “Judge Tosses NRA Bankruptcy Filing” HERE)

‘Bombshell’: ‘Phantom Votes’ Emerge in 2020 Election Lawsuit

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Michigan county embroiled in controversy when it counted thousands of votes for Joe Biden that were cast for Donald Trump isn’t out of the woods yet: A judge has been told that 1,061 “phantom votes” have been found there.

Officials in Republican-majority Antrim County initially reported voters chose Joe Biden in the the 2020 presidential race. But tabulation errors were discovered and Trump was shown to be the winner. State and county officials blamed the proble on human error, but two local citizens have filed a lawsuit contending the Dominion Voting Systems machines used in the tabulation could have been used to manipulate the election.

The Washington Examiner reports attorney Matthew DePerno, representing Antrim County resident William Bailey, told County Circuit Judge Kevin Elsenheimer during a virtual hearing on Monday that a recount in December tallied 15,962 ballots. However, the Michigan secretary of state’s database shows only 14,901 votes were cast. That means 1,061 don’t exist on voter rolls.

The defendants in the lawsuit, including Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, insist Bailey has no right to sue. (Read more from “‘Bombshell’: ‘Phantom Votes’ Emerge in 2020 Election Lawsuit” HERE)

Russian Hacker Group Threatens to Release Sensitive DC Police Records

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Russian-speaking cyberhacking group threatened to release sensitive stolen data from the Washington, D.C., police department that could put lives at risk if the group’s demands for more money are not fulfilled.

The threat comes shortly after another cyberattack on a major oil pipeline that has severely restricted gas supply on the East Coast, illustrating the threat posed by online criminal gangs that can create destruction and demise from far away.

“This is far worse than any hack of other police departments previously,” Brett Callow, a cyberthreat expert at security firm Emsisoft, told the Associated Press. He also said he was not aware of any law enforcement agency ever paying a ransom before.

In April, the Babuk group hacked into the city police department’s online network and threatened to release personal details on the identities of confidential informants to the police if a ransom was not paid. Such a release could put the lives of the informants at risk.

The gang asked for $4 million and received a counteroffer from the district police of $100,000, which it rejected, according to the Associated Press. (Read more from “Russian Hacker Group Threatens to Release Sensitive DC Police Records” HERE)

Top Doc: Feds Demonizing COVID-19 Treatments in Order To Promote Vaccine

/1 Comment/in , /by

“Something has gone off the rails” in the world’s approach to the novel coronavirus pandemic, with health authorities in the U.S. and abroad suppressing safe, cheap and effective treatments while promoting experimental vaccines that have received only emergency use authorization, contends Dr. Peter McCullough.

McCullough, a renowned cardiologist who testified to the U.S. Senate last fall on COVID-19 treatments, pointed out in a lengthy interview with Tucker Carlson’s Fox Nation show “Tucker Carlson Today” that the National Institutes of Health issued a guideline recommending physicians not treat COVID-19 until a patient needs oxygen.

“This document will go down in history as the most nihilistic medical guidance as Americans are suffering,” said McCullough, the vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas.

Asked to explain why such guidance would be issued, McCullough said it could be “fear driven,” but it’s not in his “moral DNA” to “let people die with no treatment.”

Around the world, physicians are finding success using treatments such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, but there is no regulatory support in the United States for treating COVID-19 at all, as there would be for any other disease, he said.
