Court: Fani Willis Must Turn Over Communications With ‘Get Trump’ Special Counsel, J6 Committee

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis must forfeit any and all communications with Special Counsel Jack Smith and House Democrats’ Jan. 6 Committee, a state judge ruled on Tuesday.

In his six-page order, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled that Willis is “in default” for failing to file court documents responding to a legal challenge brought by Judicial Watch.

The conservative watchdog group filed a lawsuit against Willis in March after the Democrat district attorney denied having any of the records the group sought in an August 2023 open records request. That request aimed to obtain communications between her office and the special counsel and/or the Jan. 6 Committee.

Judicial Watch argued in its lawsuit that Willis’ “representation about not having records responsive to the request is likely false,” citing a December 2023 letter issued to the Fulton County prosecutor by the House Judiciary Committee. The committee indicated that Willis— who indicted Donald Trump and 18 other Republicans last year — “had coordinated [her] politically motivated prosecutions” and “investigative actions” with Smith’s office and the Jan. 6 Committee, respectively.

Despite Willis having multiple opportunities to respond to Judicial Watch’s legal filing, McBurney noted that she “never moved to open default on any basis (not even during the period when she could have opened default as a matter of right), she never paid costs, and she never offered up a meritorious defense.” (Read more from “Court: Fani Willis Must Turn Over Communications With ‘Get Trump’ Special Counsel, J6 Committee” HERE)

Trump Considers Replacing Pete Hegseth With Ron DeSantis as Defense Secretary Pick: Report

/1 Comment/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump is considering replacing Pete Hegseth, his controversial pick to lead the Pentagon, with one-time 2024 rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, people familiar with the discussions told The Wall Street Journal Tuesday.

The move comes as Hegseth, a 44-year-old Army veteran and former Fox News personality, faces increasing scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement.

The defense secretary post requires Senate confirmation and Hegseth faces an increasingly uphill battle to win over GOP members with concerns about his past.

As many as six Senate Republicans have expressed reservations about confirming Hegseth for the top Pentagon role, according to NBC News.

DeSantis, a former Navy Judge Advocate General, was on a short-list of potential defense secretary candidates presented to Trump by transition officials before he went with Hegseth, according to the Journal.

‘Celebrating Diversity’: Biden’s Army, Navy Nominees Pushed DEI Ideology While In Uniform

/1 Comment/in , /by

Army and Navy officials recently promoted by President Joe Biden pushed neo-Marxist ideology in the military, The Federalist has learned.

According to a Nov. 15 Pentagon press release, Biden promoted Army Cols. Peter L. Gilbert and Antwan L. Dunmyer to the rank of brigadier general. Gilbert served as commander of the 3rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command at Fort Liberty (formerly known as Fort Bragg) in North Carolina, while Dunmyer served as the deputy commander of operations for the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell in Kentucky.

The Federalist has learned that both individuals have promoted ideas affiliated with so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI), an offshoot of neo-Marxist ideology, in their capacities as military officials. As The Federalist previously reported, DEI is a poisonous left-wing framework that dismisses merit and instead discriminates based on characteristics such as skin color and sex.

In early 2021, Gilbert recorded a video message commemorating Black History Month that was posted to the 101st Division Sustainment Brigade’s Facebook page. The Army official served with the brigade from July 2020 to July 2022, according to his LinkedIn profile.

After recognizing the contributions of black Americans in the military throughout U.S. history, Gilbert touted how the 101st Division Sustainment Brigade is “dedicated” to championing “diversity,” which he contended contributes to the force’s overall effectiveness.

The CIA Keeps Popping Up In The Biden-Ukraine Saga

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is linked throughout the Biden-Ukraine entanglements, from Trump’s first impeachment to Hunter Biden’s business dealings.

Back in 2019, the then-National Intelligence Council analyst Eric Ciaramella anonymously accused Trump of demanding an investigation into Biden’s alleged corruption in Ukraine in exchange for military aid, according to Real Clear Investigations.

Ciaramella was an adviser to then-Vice President Joe Biden’s office when Biden threatened to stop aid to Ukraine unless it fired Viktor Shokin, Real Clear stated. Shokin was the prosecutor investigating the Ukrainian gas company, Burisma Holdings. Hunter joined the board of Burisma in 2014 where he was making $80,000 a month, according to bank records.

While Ciaramella was accusing Trump of using a “quid pro quo,” Hunter’s payments were not as scrutinized in 2019. A transcript of Trump’s call eventually revealed that he did not make a promise to Zelenskyy or threaten to withhold aid to Ukraine.

Ciaramella had conversations with key Biden aides and Ukrainian prosecutors, White House emails and photos released from the National Archives demonstrated. (Read more from “The CIA Keeps Popping Up In The Biden-Ukraine Saga” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) expressed full support for Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth after meeting with him Monday amid an onslaught of hit pieces from the establishment media.

“Are soldiers sometimes wild childs? Yeah, that can happen, but it is very clear that this guy is the guy who, at a time when Americans were losing confidence in their own military, in our ability to project strength around the world, Pete Hegseth is the answer to that concern,” she told reporters on Tuesday, according to Politico.

Her support comes at a critical time, as Hegseth comes under attack from anonymous sources in reports about his alleged behavior when drinking or with women from as far back as 2014.

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) also expressed support for Hegseth, posting that she was glad to meet with him and discuss their shared priorities of restoring U.S. military deterrence and attracting more patriotic young Americans to military service.

Liar Joe Biden Pardons Son Hunter in Bombshell U-Turn; Hunter Biden Responds to Pardon

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Joe Biden made the shock announcement Sunday night that he would issue a presidential pardon for his troubled son Hunter, calling his prosecution ‘selective’ and ‘unfair.’

The bombshell U-turn decision comes just weeks after The White House denied the president would make the drastic move in the final months of his lame duck presidency. Biden, himself, said as recently as June that he would ‘not pardon’ his son.

‘From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,’ Biden said in a statement.

The president claimed that people are ‘almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form.’

He then added: ‘It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.’ (Read more from “Liar Joe Biden Pardons Son Hunter in Bombshell U-Turn” HERE)

Hunter Biden Responds to Pardon: ‘Will Never Take the Clemency’ ‘for Granted’

By Breitbart. Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, issued a statement after he received a full and complete pardon from his father, stating that he would “never take the clemency” he received “for granted.”

In a post on X, Matt Viser, a White House reporter with the Washington Post revealed that the younger Biden had issued a statement that he had “admitted and taken responsibility” for his mistakes “during the darkest days” of his addiction. Hunter Biden added in his statement that he would “devote the life” he had rebuilt to helping others who were “still sick and suffering.”

“I have admitted and taken responsibility for my mistakes during the darkest days of my addiction – mistakes that have been exploited to publicly humiliate and shame me and my family for political sport,” Hunter Biden said in his statement. “Despite all of this, I have maintained my sobriety for more than five years because of my deep faith and the unwavering love and support of my family and friends.”

“In the throes of addiction, I squandered many opportunities and advantages,” Hunter Biden continued. “In recovery we can be given the opportunity to make amends where possible and rebuild our lives if we never take for granted the mercy that we have been afforded. I will never take the clemency I have been given today for granted and will devote the life I have rebuilt to helping those who are still sick and suffering.” (Read more from “Hunter Biden Responds to Pardon: ‘Will Never Take the Clemency’ ‘For Granted’” HERE)

House Oversight Report Says Biden DOJ Opened Criminal Investigation Into COVID-19’s Origins

/2 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Caller. A congressional oversight subcommittee released the results of a two-year probe into the Covid-19 pandemic Monday, stating that the Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation related to the pandemic’s origins.

The 520-page report from the House Oversight Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, under the leadership of Republican Kentucky Rep. Brad Wenstrup, concluded that U.S.-based nonprofit, EcoHealth Alliance facilitated gain-of-function research with taxpayer dollars in Wuhan, China, preceding the outbreak of the pandemic. The oversight subcommittee also found that the DOJ has formed a criminal grand jury to investigate EcoHealth Alliance’s “pandemic-era activities.”

“EcoHealth was subject to numerous federal investigations regarding both its potential role in the COVID-19 pandemic, but also multiple accusations surrounding violated federal grant policies. The outcomes of most of these investigations are public,” the report states. “However, the Select Subcommittee discovered that DOJ was also investigating the origins of COVID-19. The specific details of the investigation are unknown but, based on documents, it appears the DOJ’s investigation involves EcoHealth’s role in the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The DOJ has refrained from commenting on its investigation into the pandemic’s origins and EcoHealth Alliance, and the report leaves open the possibility that the agency’s investigation is ongoing.

EcoHealth Alliance is a longtime partner of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and provided $600,000 in the form of National Institutes of Health subgrants to the Wuhan lab between 2014 and 2019 to study bat-based coronaviruses, the Daily Caller previously reported. The research nonprofit led by Dr. Peter Daszak misled the NIH regarding the WIV’s gain-of-function research funded in part by U.S. taxpayer dollars and failed to adequately monitor the Chinese entity’s gain-of-function experiments, according to the report.

DOJ Secretly Investigated Nonprofit at Center of Wuhan COVID Lab Leak Questions, Bombshell House Report Reveals

By New York Post. The Department of Justice secretly launched a grand jury investigation into a US nonprofit that steered American taxpayer funding to the Chinese lab suspected of leaking the COVID-19 virus and causing the global pandemic, according to a bombshell report released by a House committee on Monday.

Scientific experts and former federal officials have suggested that EcoHealth Alliance’s grants to the China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) funded gain-of-function research that could have led to a lab leak — but records requests have repeatedly been blocked by the National Institutes of Health, according to the report.

The details of the apparent federal investigation of EcoHealth Alliance remain secret — and members of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which released the 520-page report on the origins of and response to the pandemic, have declined to talk about it, citing concerns about interfering in any potential DOJ investigation.

However, internal emails and records from EcoHealth Alliance included in the report reveal that the grand jury issued subpoenas for genetic sequences of EcoHealth’s research on viruses in Wuhan, as well as for correspondence between the organization’s president, Dr. Peter Daszak, and Dr. Shi Zhengli, his collaborator and the so-called “bat lady” at the Wuhan Institute of Virology who specialized on coronaviruses.

In one intercepted email, an attorney at the firm Tarter, Krinsky and Drogin tells Daszak to “skip” any reference to the federal probe when asking for more time to comply with documents request from the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which ran its own investigation on the COVID pandemic.

Hunter Biden Special Counsel Fires Back at President’s Claim That First Son Was ‘Selectively and Unfairly Prosecuted’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Special counsel David Weiss on Monday dismissed President Biden’s claim that his troubled son, Hunter Biden, was “selectively and unfairly prosecuted” for federal tax and gun crimes.

“The Government does not challenge that the defendant has been the recipient of an act of mercy. But that does not mean the grand jury’s decision to charge him, based on a finding of probable cause, should be wiped away as if it never occurred,” Weiss wrote in a filing with the US District Court for the Central District of California, arguing that the judge overseeing Hunter’s tax case shouldn’t dismiss the indictment against the first son despite the president’s pardon.

“It also does not mean that his charges should be wiped away because the defendant falsely claimed that the charges were the result of some improper motive,” the special counsel added, noting that “no court has agreed with the defendant on these baseless claims, and his request to dismiss the indictment finds no support in the law or the practice of this district.”

Biden, 82, pardoned his disgraced 54-year-old son on Sunday on the basis that Hunter was “treated differently” by his own Justice Department.

“From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,” the president wrote in his pardon announcement.

Nancy Pelosi Seeks to Stage Another Coup In the Democratic Party

/2 Comments/in , , /by

After playing a significant role in the coup against outgoing President Joe Biden, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is back doing what she knows best: plotting another ouster within the Democratic Party.

According to a New York Times report, Pelosi seeks to shake up a critical House Committee. She is leading an effort to replace longtime Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) as a ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee. She is quietly urging Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-CA) to challenge Nadler, and according to reports, he is strongly considering it.

However, the NYT pointed out that Nadler and Raskin’s close friendship stands in the way.

Raskin is a loyalist in Democrat’s eyes. He played a leading role in pushing several hoaxes, including the bogus Russian disinformation claims involving President-elect Donald Trump. He also suggested he would refuse to certify Trump’s 2024 win. . .

Although Raskin has not publicly announced his candidacy, Nadler has already hit the ground running, eager to hold on to his position. Nadler proudly said he led the Judiciary Committee’s efforts of two impeachments against Trump. The NYT also highlighted an additional advantage Raskin brings: his skill in engaging in impromptu debates. The report noted that House Democrat leaders are staying neutral for now.

New Health Proposal Bans Men From Women’s Dressing Rooms After Nurses Are Accused of Needing to Be ‘Re-Educated’ on Gender

/1 Comment/in , /by

A group of nurses have drafted guidance for the National Health Service that would prevent men who believe they are women from entering women’s dressing rooms.

The policy guidance was requested by the health secretary for the United Kingdom, Wes Streeting.

The nurses said they were forced to share a dressing room with a male staff member who allegedly identifies as a woman. When the nurses raised concerns to their human resources department, the women were told they needed to be “re-educated” on the topic, they alleged.

The group of women have since taken their employers to a tribunal over sexual discrimination and sexual harassment.

Calling the proposed changes “common sense,” the nurses assert there should be no “hierarchy” in regard to equality laws, and therefore the rights of men who believe they are women should not be prioritized over actual women.
