Congress Just Put Ashli Babbitt’s Killer on Notice

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Is the jig finally up for dirtbag Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police Captain who many believe murdered unarmed Ashli Babbit in cold blood on January 6?

This dirty cop, who has a history of disciplinary issues, including weapons infractions, was actually promoted after he shot and killed an unarmed female vet—the ultimate DEI move from the left.

Politico:

In the aftermath, the Department of Justice conducted an investigation and concluded that Byrd would not face criminal charges, determining that his actions were justified under the circumstances. In August 2021, Byrd publicly identified himself and discussed the incident, expressing that he believed his actions saved lives that day.

In August 2023, Byrd was promoted to the rank of captain within the U.S. Capitol Police, recognizing his service and actions during the January 6 events.

Michael thinks he saved “countless” lives that day by killing young Ashli.

This buffoon is so reckless and dangerous that he once left his firearm unattended in a public area of the Capitol.

Well, it seems that Byrd is back in the crosshairs, and this time, he won’t have the Biden regime’s DOJ to protect him.

Investigative reporter Paul Sperry shared an update on X, revealing that House Oversight investigators have set a deadline of December 12th for Capitol Police to hand over three years’ worth of electronic correspondence from Michael Byrd.

Tucker Carlson Warns ‘Satan’ Runs The White House As Biden Approves Use Of Landmines In Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tucker Carlson warned that “Satan” was in charge of the White House after President Joe Biden approved the use of landmines and long-range missiles for Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia. . .

During the conversation, the host turned to the Ukrainian war with Russia, lamenting the scale of death and destruction of Ukraine. He then asked Carlson about Biden’s decision to allow the country to use US-made long-range missiles to launch attacks inside Russia.

“Now and then with add on top of that, the Biden administration now has okayed anti-personnel mines to be used,” he said. “Something they’ve long said absolutely we won’t use.”

“The Biden administration was absolutely against this. This was their stance. And now suddenly within the past week, all of this has changed. So who the hell is running the White House?” he asked. “Who is running the White House? Who is our de facto president? Is it Antony Blinken right now? Is it Jake Sullivan? Who is doing this?”

Carlson, who claimed at the beginning of November that he had been “physically mauled” by a demon, offered a supernatural answer that left the host stunned.

Well, if you’d asked me yesterday morning, I would have said Tony Blinken, who’s been running it since the beginning. But now I would say Satan. Because anybody, I really think that you’ve got, you know, dark forces in charge. I mean, there’s no, there’s no justification for using anti-personnel mines in this conflict, which can’t hope to be solved with anti-personnel mines resolved in any way. The only effect of that move is to kill innocence period. That’s it. That’s the only effect. And, and they know that. And so they’re doing it anyway, because killing is the point. So it’s evil. I think we should say that.

Illegal Alien Accused of Child Rape While Colorado Democrat Mayor Vows to Protect Illegals From Deportation

/1 Comment/in , /by

An illegal alien is accused of raping a 14-year-old girl in Jefferson County, Colorado. The news comes as Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (D) has vowed to protect illegal aliens in the sanctuary city from President-elect Donald Trump’s deportation program.

Jesus Alberto Pereira Castillo, a 20-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela, was arrested on Nov. 19 by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl back in August of this year.

According to police, Castillo had been living in the basement apartment of his employer’s residence. On the evening of August 29, Castillo allegedly forced himself onto his employer’s 14-year-old daughter and sexually assaulted her.

This week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials confirmed that Castillo first crossed the southern border near El Paso, Texas in September 2023. He was released into the United States interior soon after, where he resettled in the suburbs of Denver.

Castillo’s arrest comes as Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (D) has swept national headlines after promising to protect illegal aliens from Trump’s deportation program that is expected to start early next year.

Things To Be Thankful For This Post-Election Thanksgiving

/1 Comment/in , /by

We just survived a very long election year. For those of us who covered the political slog known as the Iowa caucuses — The Hawkeye Cauci, as El Rushbo used to call the quadrennial parade of pretenders and contenders — it was even longer. I have the bonus wrinkles and additional gray hairs (beyond the ones my kids and the ravages of time have put there) to prove it. . .

But we certainly have an abundance of blessings to count following America’s latest political war. A cornucopia, in the parlance of the Thanksgiving holiday. And if we hope to keep this republic so richly blessed by our Creator, it is right to give our thanks and praise. . .

So here I humbly submit an abridged list of the many things we can truly be thankful for this post-election season.

1. Competence is back in fashion after four years of bogus “border czars”, DEI hires, and a mashed-potatoes-cognition commander-in-chief. You could say we literally dodged a bullet.

2. We will no longer have to hear Kamala Harris tell us over and over again that she “grew up a middle-class kid,” in a “middle-class family,” with “middle-class roots.” The folksy campaign messaging was as awkward as it was untrue.

3. Now only Minnesota will have to suffer with the absurd narrative that Tampon Tim Walz is a real man, man’s man, regular guy. Maybe Captain Flannel will now have some time to learn how to properly load the gun that he never carried in war.

Trump Announces Tariffs for Day 1

/1 Comment/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump has been making clear for some time that he supports tariffs. On Monday night, he made an announcement about tariffs from his Truth Social account, with concerns about our “Open Border” and “Open Borders” from neighboring Mexico and Canada being part of the explanation given.

“As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before. Right now a Caravan coming from Mexico, composed of thousands of people, seems to be unstoppable in its quest to come through our currently Open Border,” he lamented. “On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders,” he continued, with an explanation as to when they may come to an end. “This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country! Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!”

Trump also put out another Truth Social post, this one about tariffs on China. Such a post speaks to the lack of progress with China about the amount of fentanyl coming to the United States.

“I have had many talks with China about the massive amounts of drugs, in particular Fentanyl, being sent into the United States – But to no avail. Representatives of China told me that they would institute their maximum penalty, that of death, for any drug dealers caught doing this but, unfortunately, they never followed through, and drugs are pouring into our Country, mostly through Mexico, at levels never seen before,” his post explained. “Until such time as they stop, we will be charging China an additional 10% Tariff, above any additional Tariffs, on all of their many products coming into the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Trump Team Quashes Trans Military Rumors: Sources ‘Have No Idea What They Are Talking About’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump’s soon-to-be White House press secretary quashed a report that Trump will “kick transgender troops” out of the military, telling The Daily Wire that the report is based on unnamed sources who have “no idea what they are actually talking about.”

“These unnamed sources are speculating and have no idea what they are actually talking about,” Karoline Leavitt told The Daily Wire. “No decisions on this issue have been made. No policy should ever be deemed official unless it comes directly from President Trump or his authorized spokespeople.”

Her statement followed a report from the London-based Times alleging that Trump would sign an executive order as early as his first day back in the White House kicking trans-identifying troops out of the United States military. The story claimed that there are as many as 15,000 individuals in the military who identify as transgender, and that these troops would be deemed medically discharged upon Trump taking office in January.

During his previous administration, Trump had quickly announced that trans-identifying service members would no longer serve “in any capacity,” arguing that the military needed to be focused on “decisive and overwhelming victory.” His ban on trans-identifying people serving in the military took effect in 2019, but was reversed by President Joe Biden in January 2021.

Jack Smith’s End of Lawfare Charges Against Trump Proves It Was a Political Witch Hunt

/3 Comments/in , /by

Special Counsel Jack Smith said on Monday that the evidence against now President-elect Donald Trump in the 2020 election case is rock-solid and that no one is “above the law” — but that he’d nonetheless drop the charges against Trump.

But if that’s the case, why bail out now? Surely if Trump is really the criminal mastermind Smith alleges he is, there’s no conscionable way he could drop the charges. The reality is that Smith knows this was never about the law. It was about leftists using lawfare to prosecute and ideally jail their political opponent.

“After careful consideration, the Department has determined that OLC’s [Office of Legal Counsel] prior opinions concerning the Constitution’s prohibition on federal indictment and prosecution of a sitting President apply to this situation and that as a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated,” Smith’s filing stated.

Smith still made sure to add a throw-away-line that the decision to drop the case did not “turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind.” But, Smith added, the Department of Justice concluded that pursuing the case would hinder Trump’s ability to lead.

CNN Poll Finds Significant Response to Trump Transition and How Democrats Are Dealing With Defeat

/1 Comment/in , /by

A new poll from CNN finds that Americans are far more positive toward President-elect Donald Trump’s transition as compared to eight years ago and also that Democrats have largely “given up.”

CNN poll analyst Harry Enten reviewed the results in a segment on CNN, where he showed a double-digit jump in the favorability rating for Trump.

Enten said that most presidential candidates get a jump in approval rating after getting elected, but Trump got a only 1% increase following his surprise victory in 2016. That has spiked to 18% eight years later.

“Look at where we are today, significantly higher, plus 18 points. That’s 17 points higher on the presidential transition net approval rating. The bottom line is this: If eight years ago Americans were lukewarm on Donald Trump, at this particular point they’re giving him much more the benefit of the doubt,” he explained.

“A lot more Americans are in love with this transition; this much more meets the historical norm,” Enten concluded. (Read more from “CNN Poll Finds Significant Response to Trump Transition and How Democrats Are Dealing With Defeat” HERE)

Second Most-Commonly Prescribed Drug for Older Adults Is Linked to Bone Loss

/3 Comments/in , , /by

A popular thyroid medication taken by 23 million Americans may be associated with bone loss, a startling new study finds.

Levothyroxine — marketed under brand names such as Synthroid — is the second most commonly prescribed medication among older adults in the US. It’s consumed by about 7% of the US population.

The drug addresses hypothyroidism, also known as an underactive thyroid, by replacing or providing more of a thyroid hormone naturally produced by the body.

The study authors, from Johns Hopkins Medicine, linked levothyroxine use to a greater loss of bone mass and bone density over six years — even in older adults with normal thyroid function.

The preliminary research compared the bone health of 81 levothyroxine users and 364 non-users, who were mostly in their early 70s. (Read more from “Second Most-Commonly Prescribed Drug for Older Adults Is Linked to Bone Loss” HERE)

This Trump Nomination Will Make Leftists’ Heads Spin

/0 Comments/in , , /by

If you thought that President-elect Trump had used up all of his “controversial” nominations, buckle up, because he is reportedly planning to appoint Kash Patel, the former chief investigator of the Trump-Russia investigation for the House Intelligence Committee under former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), to a prominent position within either the FBI or the Justice Department, according to top transition sources cited by Axios.

Why it matters: Patel would be a deeply controversial pick for any leadership role, especially FBI director. Given the hurdles Patel might face winning Senate confirmation, Trump is considering naming him deputy director or to an appointed investigative role within DOJ, the sources said.

State of play: A final decision hasn’t been made. Trump still could change his mind, including by elevating Patel all the way to FBI director — a move that would send Gaetz-like shockwaves throughout Washington.

“President-elect Trump has made brilliant decisions on who will serve in his second administration at lightning pace. Remaining decisions will continue to be announced by him when they are made,” incoming White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Axios.

The report also indicates that Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is under consideration for the role of FBI director, following Trump’s selection of Pam Bondi to head the Justice Department. However, no “consensus pick” has yet been finalized. Trump has also indicated plans to dismiss current FBI Director Christopher Wray, whom he appointed in 2017 to a 10-year term after firing James Comey.
