Mark Cuban Deletes His Pro-Kamala Harris Tweets

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mark Cuban says there’s nothing to see here. You can move along now.

The staunch Democrat backer of Kamala Harris was accused by the notorious Libs of TikTok X account of deleting his numerous pro-Harris tweets in the wake of her dismal election results.

Cuban responded to the initial X accusation by Libs of TikTok within an hour. “I’ve always gone back and deleted tweets,” he posted. “For years. Same with 2020 election. 2016 election. Same with other stuff. You can use the wayback machine if you really want to see them.” . . .

There was no denying Cuban’s affinity for the Democratic candidate. The co-founder at Costplusdrugs.com, former “Shark Tank” star, and minority owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Texas-based billionaire Cuban said that Harris represented a chance for an “opportunity economy” in her approach to regulation and small businesses.

Cuban at one time thought Donald Trump, a businessman, would be good for the economy, at least before Trump officially entered the presidential race in 2016. But that affinity shifted over the years. (Read more from “Mark Cuban Deletes His Pro-Kamala Harris Tweets” HERE)

FEMA Official Allegedly Directed Hurricane Relief Workers to Skip Homes of Trump Supporters

/48 Comments/in , , /by

A recent report has raised concerns over alleged instructions from a FEMA official to relief workers in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, directing them to bypass homes displaying support for President-elect Donald Trump. According to multiple sources within the agency, Marn’i Washington, a FEMA supervisor, reportedly told workers both verbally and via a group chat to “avoid homes advertising Trump” while conducting disaster relief operations.

The report, first shared with The Daily Wire, claims that this directive led to at least 20 homes in Lake Placid, Florida, being skipped. These homes, which prominently displayed Trump signs or flags, were reportedly not given the chance to qualify for FEMA assistance, as workers were instructed not to provide aid. The sources noted that FEMA workers recorded messages in the agency’s system such as “Trump sign no entry per leadership,” indicating adherence to the guidance.

Several government employees, part of a surge capacity team from the Department of Homeland Security, were involved in the operation. These workers had volunteered to assist FEMA during a critical staffing shortage following the impact of two major hurricanes in the region. One anonymous source shared with The Daily Wire that while they had initially volunteered to help in the wake of the hurricane’s destruction, they were shocked to find they were being asked to discriminate against residents based on political affiliation.

“I knew FEMA was understaffed, and I thought we could make a difference,” the source explained. “But when we got there, we were told to discriminate against people. It’s almost unbelievable that anyone in the federal government would think this is acceptable.”

The incident reportedly took place in Highlands County, Florida, a region that had strongly supported Trump in the 2020 presidential election, with nearly 70 percent of voters backing the Republican candidate. This development comes amid broader criticism of FEMA’s handling of relief efforts in various parts of the country, including communities affected by Hurricane Helene, where widespread power outages, flooding, and road damage left many without basic services.

FEMA has yet to publicly comment on the specific allegations, but the report has drawn attention to concerns over political bias in the delivery of federal aid during emergencies.

Trump To Pursue ‘An Aggressive Strategy’ To Cripple Iran

/1 Comment/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly planning to ramp up the U.S. pressure campaign on Iran by enacting crippling sanctions on the Islamic regime immediately after taking office.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the plans include “drastically increasing sanctions” on the country and killing its oil industry as part of an “aggressive strategy to undercut Tehran’s support of violent Mideast proxies and its nuclear program.”

Trump is expected to move rapidly to cut off Iran’s oil revenue, including by going after “foreign ports and traders who handle Iranian oil.”

The report said that Trump’s new “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran will also factor in the fact that the regime has repeatedly tried to assassinate him and some of his top officials from his first administration.

“People tend to take that stuff personally,” said Mick Mulroy, a top Pentagon official during Trump’s first term. “If he’s going to be hawkish on any particular country, designated major adversaries, it’s Iran.” (Read more from “Trump To Pursue ‘An Aggressive Strategy’ To Cripple Iran” HERE)

. . .Here’s a sampling of social-media posts I’ve seen since the re-election of President Donald Trump.

“My six-year-old son kept hugging me this morning and saying ‘don’t worry mama, I won’t let him hurt you.’ ”

“I told my 3yo to never have kids… I’ve been sobbing since I woke up.”

“I scared my poor 1-year-old son because I was crying so hard.” . . .

These are real people, and unfortunately, real parents, who have decided to inflict severe emotional distress upon their children as some kind of political virtual signal.

For anyone on social media, you’ve been deluged with these overwrought posts since President Donald Trump bested Vice President Kamala Harris. (Read more from “Post-Election, the (Liberal) Moms Are Not Ok — And It’s Hurting Their Kids” HERE)

Report: Kamala Harris Blew $20 Million on Election-Eve Concerts With Lady Gaga, Katy Perry in Swing States Where Trump Beat Her

/0 Comments/in , /by

Amid the stunning revelation that Kamala Harris’ unsuccessful presidential campaign ended up $20 million in the red, despite raising $1 billion from donors, a new report has found that the rock concerts that her campaign staged on the night before the election — featuring Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and others — collectively cost around that same amount, up to $20 million.

Now vendors and others who worked on those concerts, which were meant to persuade “low-propensity voters” to turn out for Harris, are reportedly facing the prospect of unpaid invoices.

Members of the defeated Harris team told The New York Post that the concerts had a ruinous effect on the campaign’s budget and that fact was no secret — with one planned performance by rocker Alanis Morissette getting canceled to save money.

In the end, the Kamala Harris campaign staged seven swing-state concerts on election eve, including performances by Jon Bon Jovi in Detroit, Christina Aguilera in Las Vegas, Katy Perry in Pittsburgh, and Lady Gaga in Philadelphia.

All of those swing states ended up in President-elect Donald Trump’s win column on Election Day. (Read more from “Report: Kamala Harris Blew $20 Million on Election-Eve Concerts With Lady Gaga, Katy Perry in Swing States Where Trump Beat Her” HERE)

Joe Rogan Claims Kamala Harris Campaign Asked if He Edits Interviews

/0 Comments/in , /by

Joe Rogan, host of The Joe Rogan Experience, recently discussed how the campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris sought to impose certain topic “restrictions” and inquired whether he edits his interviews, during an episode of his podcast. Rogan revealed that the Harris campaign had explored the possibility of having the vice president appear on his show to help boost her appeal among male voters, according to a Reuters report from October 15.

On the podcast, Rogan explained that while he agreed to some of the proposed restrictions, he made it clear that there would be no editing of the interview. “They had a few topics they didn’t want to talk about, but I told them, ‘I don’t give a f**k.’ I said, ‘Get her in here, whatever you want to talk about,’” Rogan shared. He added, “And then they asked me if I edit the interviews. I told them, ‘There’s not going to be any editing. We’re not going to edit.’”

Fellow podcast host Theo Von, who was part of the conversation, chimed in, confirming that the Harris campaign had asked the same question about editing. “Yeah, that’s the same thing they asked us, ‘Is there an edit?’” Von said.

Rogan also took to X (formerly Twitter) on October 29 to reveal that the Harris campaign had suggested he travel to her location to record the interview. However, he strongly believed that it would be better for the vice president to come to his studio in Austin, Texas. On the following episode of his podcast on October 30, Rogan shared that he had extended an “open invitation” to Harris to appear on the show during her visit to Texas for an October 25 rally. However, she did not take him up on the offer.

Rogan’s podcast is known for its long-form, unfiltered conversations, and it gained widespread attention when President-elect Donald Trump appeared as a guest on October 25. The episode, which lasted for three hours, has garnered over 47 million views on YouTube as of Friday.

Reflecting on his approach to interviews, Rogan explained, “I just wanted to talk… I feel like you give someone a couple of hours, and you start talking about anything, I’m going to see the pattern of the way you think. I’m gonna see how you process ideas, whether you’re calculated or just free. Whether you’re comfortable with yourself or projecting something.”

With Trump Returning To Power, Europe Chief Weighs Idea Of Buying More Natural Gas From U.S. Instead Of Russia

/0 Comments/in , /by

President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said Friday that she proposed to President-elect Donald Trump the idea that the U.S. could supply more natural gas to Europe to decrease the bloc’s reliance on Russia, according to Barron’s.

The EU chief said the topic of tapping U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) could also be discussed in relation to the EU’s trade deficit with the U.S., Barron’s reported, citing AFP News. Von der Leyen also said it was “very important” that Brussels engaged around “common interests” with the president-elect.

The Biden-Harris administration has faced criticism for halting LNG exports after the Department of Energy (DOE) announced it was halting new and pending approvals for certain LNG export terminals in January. Some federal agencies are looking to interfere with Trump’s agenda to unfreeze approvals for LNG exports, according to various reports.

“Common interests are, for example — this is one topic that we touched upon, I would not say discuss — it’s the whole topic of LNG,” she told reporters in Budapest, Barron’s reported.

“We still get a lot of LNG from Russia and why not replace it [with] American LNG, which is cheaper for us and brings down our energy prices,” said von der Leyen, Reuters reported.

By Massive Margins, Voters In Eight States Say Only Citizens Can Vote In Their Elections

/0 Comments/in , /by

As divided as America may be, this election showed there’s one thing most Americans agree on: Only U.S. citizens should vote in U.S. elections.

Voters this week in eight states — Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Wisconsin — overwhelmingly approved constitutional amendment ballot questions seeking to ensure noncitizens cannot vote in state and local elections. Foreign nationals are already barred from voting in federal elections.

“We’re so often told about how divided we are in the United States, but on Tuesday we had Republicans, Democrats and independents come together in overwhelming numbers declaring that only citizens would be able to vote” in elections, a jubilant Will Martin, Wisconsin state director of Americans for Citizen Voting, told The Federalist in a phone interview this week.

The Badger State’s Citizen-Only Voting Amendment (COVA) was endorsed by more than 70 percent of voters in Tuesday’s election, according to unofficial tallies. Support topped 65 percent in each of the states with COVA questions on the ballot, according to unofficial results reported by state news organizations. In Iowa, the referendum passed with 76 percent support. In South Carolina, the ballot question earned the approval of a whopping 86 percent of voters.

In Missouri, the same ballot question amending the state constitution to make clear only citizens can vote in Show Me State elections also knocked out ranked-choice voting by a two-to-one margin.
