Candidate Who Called Opponent ‘Senator Ukraine’ Used Ukrainian Footage In Campaign Video

/0 Comments/in , /by

Several scenes from Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Senate campaign announcement video were shot in foreign countries, the Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

Paxton released a two-and-a-half-minute-long video April 9 following his decision to mount a primary challenge to incumbent Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn. The video, which touts Paxton’s conservative credentials and accuses Cornyn of betraying the “America First” movement, uses stock footage shot in Ukraine, Russia and South Africa, according to a DCNF review of the video’s sourcing.

“Senator John Cornyn turned his back on President Trump,” the video’s narrator states. “It’s time for a change. Ken Paxton is the conservative fighter they couldn’t cancel.”

Paxton’s campaign is not the first to use foreign imagery licensed from stock footage websites to depict Americans. Candidates across both parties, including Democratic Oregon Rep. Janelle Bynum and former Republican Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, have raised eyebrows in recent years by featuring foreign stock footage in campaign materials.

The locations of the foreign footage used in Paxton’s video or those of the footages’ contributors were easily identifiable on most commonly used stock footage websites, according to a DCNF review.

“At this point, I’m supporting a bright future for our country. Positive and competent leadership. For us to be what we’re supposed to be—to be a world leader and carry that respect and do what a world power like us should be doing.,” Reigns told Vanity Fair.

NASA Discovery Linked to Jesus Crucifixion ‘Reveals Exact Day He Died’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A discovery by NASA may confirm the Biblical account of Jesus’ crucifixion, according to researchers from Oxford University.

The Bible states that the sun turning into darkness and the moon into blood, which some scholars believe referenced events following Christ’s death.

NASA’s models, which trace the positions of the Earth, moon, and sun through history, show a lunar eclipse occurred on Friday, April 3, 33AD — the year traditionally linked to Jesus’ death.

The cosmic event would have been visible in Jerusalem shortly after sunset, and the position of the moon would have given it a reddish hue.

The Biblical historians believe the lunar eclipse identified by NASA was the same written about in the Bible.

The NASA discovery was made in the 1990s, but is now going viral on TikTok as today is known among Christians as the day Jesus was crucified. (Read more from “NASA Discovery Linked to Jesus Crucifixion ‘Reveals Exact Day He Died’” HERE)

Supreme Court Blocks, for Now, New Deportations Under 18th Century Wartime Law

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court on Saturday blocked, for now, the deportations of any Venezuelans held in northern Texas under an 18th century wartime law.

In a brief order, the court directed the Trump administration not to remove Venezuelans held in the Bluebonnet Detention Center “until further order of this court.” . . .

The high court acted in an emergency appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union contending that immigration authorities appeared to be moving to restart removals under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. The Supreme Court had said earlier in April that deportations could proceed only if those about to be removed had a chance to argue their case in court and were given “a reasonable time” to contest their pending removals.

“We are deeply relieved that the Court has temporarily blocked the removals. These individuals were in imminent danger of spending the rest of their lives in a brutal Salvadoran prison without ever having had any due process,” ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt said in an email.

On Friday, two federal judges refused to step in as lawyers for the men launched a desperate legal campaign to prevent their deportation, even as one judge said the case raised legitimate concerns. Early Saturday, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also refused to issue an order protecting the detainees from being deported.

Trump Will Walk Away From Ukraine Talks in Days if Moscow and Kyiv Aren’t Serious About Peace, Warns Rubio

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United States will do whatever it takes to get peace in Ukraine as long as “either side or both” actually engage in the process, but as things stand now America will “move on” within days if there are no signs of progress.

Neither Ukraine or Russia are engaging in the peace process properly, Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested on Friday morning as he boarded his flight back to the U.S., saying if there isn’t a breakthrough in the peace process within days the United States would disengage.

The United States is not willing to attend endless unproductive meetings, and meetings for the sake of having meetings, Rubio told press on the tarmac in barely-veiled criticism of both Moscow and Kyiv. He said: “We came here yesterday to begin to talk about more specific outlines of what it might take to end the war, to try to figure out very soon and I’m talking about a matter of days, not a matter of weeks, whether or not this is a war that can be ended.

“If it can, we’re prepared to do whatever we can to facilitate that to make sure that happens, that it ends in a durable and just way.

If there are no indications the two sides are actually willing to agree to a ceasefire — previous bids to establish such a state have been met with further demands for concessions, conditions, and carveouts — then “the President’s probably at a point where he’s going to say ‘well, we’re done’.” (Read more from “Trump Will Walk Away From Ukraine Talks in Days if Moscow and Kyiv Aren’t Serious About Peace, Warns Rubio” HERE)

School Board President Tells Emotional Girl to ‘Wrap It Up’ After She Recounts Trans Athlete Experience

/0 Comments/in , /by

A school board meeting in California featured emotional debate over transgender athletes being allowed to share locker rooms with high school girls. One girl who cried during a speech was told by the board president to “wrap it up.”

During the Lucia Mar Unified School District (LMUSD) board meeting Wednesday, a high school junior girls’ track athlete at Arroyo Grande High School named Celeste Diest took the podium to recount her experience of having to change in front of a biologically male trans athlete before practice, while that athlete allegedly watched her undress.

“I went into the women’s locker room to change for track practice where I saw, at the end of my row, a biological male watching not only myself, but the other young women undress. This experience was beyond traumatizing,” Diest said, as she began to choke up and cry.

“Adults like yourself make me and my peers feel like our own comfort was invalid, even though our privacy was and still is completely violated.”

Diest then fought through her tears to argue that the trans athlete’s XY chromosomes define the person as a male, adding, “That is basic biology.” (Read more from “School Board President Tells Emotional Girl to ‘Wrap It Up’ After She Recounts Trans Athlete Experience” HERE)

Wife-Beating MS-13 Gang Member Emerges From El Salvador’s Death Camps to Speak With Dem Senator

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Is this the most political tone-deaf photo op of all time? I’ve never seen such a lack of self-awareness, and then again, this is Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), whose political acumen and skill have never been elite. He’s in his position because Maryland is full of brain-dead liberals who support these clowns—nothing more. The Democrat flew to El Salvador in the hopes of busting Abrego Garcia out of jail. That was never going to happen. Initially, he was unable to meet or speak with Garcia. Tonight, Garcia, a wife-beating MS-13 gang member, emerged from the El Salvador death camps, and these images were captured.

Van Hollen never met with Patty Morin like this, the mother of Rachel Morin, who was raped and murdered by an illegal alien from El Salvador in August of 2023. Garcia is neither a legal resident nor a citizen of the United States. He’s an illegal alien gangbanger, who would be re-arrested and deported again if he were returned, which isn’t happening. And, of course, everyone mock Axios for being super late to the latest details about Garcia.

Joe Biden ‘Having Trouble Booking Gigs’ With $300K per Speech Asking Price

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s not just Biden family artwork that’s struggling to sell these days.

Former President Joe Biden’s attempt to bill $300,000 per speaking appearance is finding few takers, The Post has learned — as some of his own former aides say it’s time for the 82-year-old to leave the spotlight for good after reminiscing about “colored kids” Tuesday in his first public address since leaving office.

A source familiar with Biden’s faltering speaking career said that the 46th president’s standard pitch is $300,000 — 25% below Barack Obama’s $400,000 asking price upon leaving office in 2017.

It’s unclear how negotiable Biden’s rate is.

If travel is required, a private jet and expenses for five staffers also is expected for Biden, who has been repped since early February by the Creative Artists Agency. (Read more from “Joe Biden ‘Having Trouble Booking Gigs’ With $300K per Speech Asking Price” HERE)

Department Of Homeland Security Confirms Abrego García Stopped On Suspicion Of Human Trafficking

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to the Daily Caller that Kilmar Abrego García, a recently deported alleged member of MS-13, was stopped in December 2022 on suspicion of human trafficking.

During a Dec. 1, 2022 traffic stop by a Tennessee Highway Patrol officer, Abrego García was found to be transporting eight passengers across the country, sources told the Tennessee Star. He allegedly did not have a valid driver’s license and was suspected of trafficking the passengers but was let go at the request of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Documents from Homeland Investigations provided to the Daily Caller reveal more details about the encounter.

Abrego García was pulled over because the vehicle was observed “speeding and unable to maintain its lane,” according to the documents. Abrego García had an expired Maryland “limited term temporary driver’s license,” which is provided to individuals who are not U.S. citizens, authorities said.

The officer identified eight other individuals in the vehicle and Abrego García advised that he was driving them from Texas to Maryland, according to the documents. None of the passengers had any luggage and all provided the same home address, which was Abrego Garcia’s address, authorities said.

Another Major Narrative About That Deported Illegal Alien Just Fell Apart

/0 Comments/in , /by

Abrego Garcia has been exposed as a wife-beating MS-13 gangbanger. Both details were revealed this week as Democrats continue to die on this odd hill to bring back a deported illegal alien from his home country. It’s not happening.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) humiliated himself with this trip to bust Garcia out of jail; he can’t see or speak to him. El Salvador shut him down, and now more Democrats might join him down there. Let them—it’s playing right into our hands. The new Justice Department documents showing Garcia’s MS-13 ties prove once again that the Left lies and cannot be trusted—not their media, their lawyers, or elected officials. The latter is a given, but this narrative that liberals constructed for this man evaporated in less than 30 seconds.

The main rampart for denying Garcia’s MS-13 ties was this confidential informant being wrong about Garcia operating out of Long Island, New York as a part of MS-13’s “Westerns clique” sect. Will Chamberlain of The Article III Project dissected the documents and exposed how Garcia’s lawyer, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, played “fast and loose” with the facts. Now, if this informant was mistaken, it is damaging. Still, Chamberlain, while perusing DOJ documents, stumbled upon a major RICO case involving MS-13 members from the District Court in the District of Columbia. What did he find? Only that “western cliques” operates in the DC Metro area:
