Tucker Carlson Breaks from GOP: ‘No Chance I Would Support the Republican Party’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson broke from the Republican Party, stating that he was no longer able to support a party that “puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens.

While speaking on an episode of the Can’t Be Censored podcast, Carlson criticized the Trump administration for not being serious when it comes to strengthening the U.S. relationship with Canada and for being “completely focused on the Middle East.” Carlson also stated that the United States had gone to war with Iran “because of pressure from the prime minister of Israel.”

Carlson also pointed out that Canada is the United States’ “closest ally in the world” and “most important,” adding that “what happens in Canada matters a lot more than what happens in Israel or Lebanon or Iraq or Iran.”

When asked by host Karman Wong if he thought that the upcoming midterm elections would be “the first chance” to get a “temperature read” on how Americans feel about the Trump administration, Carlson pointed out that the polls “tell a pretty clear story about it.”

“Well, the poll numbers now are … tell a pretty clear story about it. I would not support the Republican Party, there’s no chance I would support the Republican Party,” Carlson said. “No going to support the Democratic Party, I don’t know what I’m going to do. But, at this point, how could you support, how could I or any American voters support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States? That puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens?” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Breaks from GOP: ‘No Chance I Would Support the Republican Party’” HERE)

Archaeologists Unearth Ancient Treasure Cache at Biblical City Connected to Genesis

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Archaeologists have uncovered a cache of ancient treasure at the site of Heliopolis, the storied Egyptian city mentioned in the biblical story of Joseph. . . 

Heliopolis, known in the Bible as “On,” makes multiple appearances in Genesis, the Book of Jeremiah and the Book of Ezekiel. 

Genesis 41:45 notes that Joseph’s wife, Asenath, was the daughter of Potipherah, a priest of the city.  

The cache, found beneath a burial structure containing human remains, included five pairs of yellow-colored metal earrings that archaeologists believe may be made of gold.

Pictures released by officials show the earrings along with carved scarabs and other small artifacts, as well as cosmetic containers and a copper mirror. (Read more from “Archaeologists Unearth Ancient Treasure Cache at Biblical City Connected to Genesis” HERE)

Poll Shows Wide Support for Less Legalized Migration

/0 Comments/in , /by

Thirty-three percent of Americans — and 54 percent of Trump voters — say legalized immigration should be reduced or zeroed out, according to a poll for a globalist magazine.

Twenty-three percent of respondents and 46 percent of liberals, but only 8 percent of Republicans, said immigration should be increased, according to the June poll of 1,549 citizens.

Swing-voting moderates split 28 percent for less or zero migration, and 20 percent want migration to be increased, said the poll, which was conducted for The Economist magazine.

A large 30 percent slice of respondents said legal migration levels should be kept at current levels. But there is no evidence that the YouGov pollster provided any information to those respondents that the current inflow of permanent and temporary legalized migration delivers roughly two new migrants for every four U.S. births each year.

The “not sure” option was picked by 15 percent of all respondents and 1 percent of independents. (Read more from “Poll Shows Wide Support for Less Legalized Migration” HERE)

Trump Official says US Control of Greenland Could Bring Back All-You-can-Eat Shrimp at Red Lobster

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Trump-appointed official who has spent years promoting closer American ties with Greenland says doing so could have an unexpected payoff: the return of all-you-can-eat shrimp at Red Lobster.

Thomas Dans, the chairman of the US Arctic Research Commission and a Texas financier, made the unusual suggestion in a New Yorker magazine profile that portrayed him as one of the driving forces behind President Trump’s push to expand US influence in Greenland.

“My view is that the United States could take all the seafood Greenland could produce, and cut out the middleman, and keep it from China — and you could bring back all-you-can-eat shrimp at Red Lobster,” Dans told the New Yorker.

The magazine reported that Dans, accused by Danish authorities of helping run “influence operations” aimed at increasing American sway over the Arctic island, served on a previously undisclosed National Security Council task force focused on Greenland during Trump’s first term.

The Post has sought comment from Dans and the White House. (Read more from “Trump Official says US Control of Greenland Could Bring Back All-You-can-Eat Shrimp at Red Lobster” HERE)

I’m a Former CIA Officer – ‘Every Government Agency on Earth’ can Listen Through Your Phone

/7 Comments/in , , /by

A former CIA officer has warned the world that every ‘government agency on Earth’ is able to listen through your phone.

It was a scene that was met with horror in the iconic The Dark Knight film, when Batman crosses an unethical line to turn every phone in Gotham City into his personal surveillance network so he can finally track down the Joker.

Well, such dystopian nightmares are no longer restricted to the land of fiction, according to former CIA officer Jason Hanson.

It’s little wonder given the chilling revelation he shared with LADbible Stories, saying: “Every government agency on Earth can listen through your cell phone, can listen through your laptop, can listen through your cameras. It doesn’t matter what it is.

“If you think you have a cell phone that is gonna be like magic and the Agency’s not gonna listen in, they can.” (Read more from “I’m a Former CIA Officer – ‘Every Government Agency on Earth’ can Listen Through Your Phone” HERE)

Trump’s Iran Agreement Embraces Sanctions Relief, a Policy He and His Team Once Denounced

/1 Comment/in , /by

For years, President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance argued against deals that provided financial concessions to Iran, saying that giving the regime money fuels terror. But now the agreement they’ve reached to end the war with Tehran is poised to hand the regime billions.

For the better part of a decade, Trump’s central indictment of former President Barack Obama’s Iran nuclear deal was simple: Giving Tehran access to frozen assets enriched a dangerous regime and got the United States little in return.

Trump’s current secretary of state and vice president went even further, co-sponsoring legislation as senators that argued Iranian frozen funds could not be safely released because the money, even with rules governing its use, could end up being utilized in a dangerous way.

Now, all three are backing an agreement that spells out US commitments to potentially release those funds and lift sanctions on Tehran but leaves specific details on Iran’s nuclear program to future negotiations.

Administration officials have downplayed the significance of the written document and said the movement of any money will be performance-based. They also have said the atmosphere of this deal is different from previous ones because the US has degraded Iran’s military.

US Reveals Concern That China Now Has Top Chip Making Tools

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration is reportedly concerned that a cutting-edge European chipmaking tool may have ended up in Beijing’s hands.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told semiconductor company ASML in a recent meeting that he worried one of their chip-printing machines was sold to China, sources familiar with the discussions told Bloomberg. ASML has never been allowed to ship the extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machines to China due to export controls enacted during President Donald Trump’s first term.

ASML has denied reports that it shipped any EUV machinery to China, Reuters reported on Friday.

“ASML has never ​shipped an EUV machine to China nor have we shipped to China any component, ​module or equipment specially designed to be used in an EUV machine,” the ⁠company told Reuters in a statement.

An ASML spokesperson and the Commerce Department each did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. (Read more from “US Reveals Concern That China Now Has Top Chip Making Tools” HERE)

Democrats Are Turning Out In Droves — Even In MAGA Country

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats are boasting a major uptick in voter turnout for key races, even in districts that trend towards Republicans.

Primaries and special elections have seen a far greater turnout among Democrats than among Republicans, which may reflect higher turnout in the high-stakes midterms this November, according to an analysis by the Washington Post.

Democrats are outperforming Republicans even in low-stakes races, with Democrats overall casting 12.6 million ballots in House primaries so far this year compared to just 8.6 million in Republican primaries.

In this year’s primaries so far, over 90 percent of Democrat House primaries saw higher voter turnout than in 2022, when the GOP flipped the House, according to the Post’s analysis.

Democrats aren’t just turning out to vote in deep-blue cities but also in races where Republicans are favored to win. (Read more from “Democrats Are Turning Out In Droves — Even In MAGA Country” HERE)

Ebola Spreads in Congo Refugee Camps, Cases Top 1,000

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Ministry of Health for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) said on Sunday that over 1,000 cases of Ebola have now been confirmed, with 254 deaths.

At least 30 of those fatalities occurred in a single camp for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the northeastern Congo, increasing fears that Ebola will run wild in crowded and unsanitary refugee camps.

The good news from the DRC Ministry of Health was that 100 people have recovered from Ebola infections – an encouraging recovery rate for the deadly disease amid conditions of poverty, insurgent conflict, and public distrust of health officials. The ministry said at least 365 patients were currently receiving treatment in hospitals and isolation wards.

The worst of the bad news came from the Kigonze refugee camp near Bunia, capital of Ituri province, which is the epicenter of the Ebola Bundibugyo outbreak.

The Kingonze camp has about 15,000 residents, and according to administrators, many of them have refused to be tested for Ebola. At least 30 people have died since the beginning of May after exhibiting symptoms consistent with Ebola, and given the resistance to testing, officials simply have no idea how many people are infected.

DOJ: No Grants for Amnesty-Pushing ‘Sanctuary’ Cities

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Department of Justice is set to put in place rules that would deny $1 billion in grants to so-called “sanctuary” cities, counties, and states that offer amnesty-like treatment for illegal migrants.

The Department of Justice has announced a new round of $1 billion in public safety grants to cities, counties, and states, but there is one provision Democrats won’t like. To get the grants, localities must agree to work with immigration officials.

The new provision comes as part of the Trump administration’s push to continue growing its immigration enforcement capacities across the board, NPR reported.

The provision is a new wrinkle in grants that have been doled out by the feds to local municipalities for years. And some officials may be required to forgo the long-standing grants due to rules from Democrat politicians preventing local officials from working with federal immigration officers.

For instance, one of the programs consists of $700 million in grants from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, which has awarded its “COPS” grants since 1994. These grants have been one of the largest federal funding sources for local police departments for decades. COPS has handed out more than $20 billion to local police departments since the program began. (Read more from “DOJ: No Grants for Amnesty-Pushing ‘Sanctuary’ Cities” HERE)
