First Time in 20 Years! Major U.S. Newspaper Makes Huge Decision on Presidential Endorsement

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The owner of the Los Angeles Times instructed the paper not to make a presidential endorsement for the first time in two decades, just weeks ahead of the 2024 election, according to Semafor Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Times editorial board published a list of their electoral endorsements on Oct. 14, where it referred to the 2024 election as “the most consequential election in a generation” but made no mention of endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. The board reportedly planned to follow tradition by endorsing the Democratic nominee for president until Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the paper’s owner, told them earlier this month not to make a presidential endorsement, two people familiar with the matter told Semafor.

The editorial board has endorsed Democratic candidates in every presidential election since it first publicly backed former President Barack Obama in the 2008 race, according to Semafor.

A Los Angeles Times spokesperson declined to comment on “internal discussions or decisions about editorials or endorsements,” according to Semafor.

Soon-Shiong, who bought the Los Angeles Times in 2018, stated they would not be making any endorsements in the 2020 Democratic primary after the board had made the decision to endorse Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, according to Semafor. The paper endorsed President Joe Biden in the general election that year. (Read more from “First Time in 20 Years!

Sister of Deceased Soldier Blasts the Atlantic for Latest Anti-Trump Fabrications

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of far-left propaganda outlet The Atlantic, published an article Tuesday with glaring fabrications about former President Donald Trump’s interactions with the families of fallen service members and his outlook on military leadership.

Goldberg’s dishonest hit piece is the latest in a long line of far-left outlets lying and deceiving the American people before a major election.

Mayra Guillén, the sister of fallen soldier Vanessa Guillén, whose family was featured as proof in Goldberg’s piece, slammed the outlet and Goldberg for exploiting her sister’s death.

“Wow. I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics — hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members,” Mayra stated. “President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.”

Mayra’s comments come after Goldberg claimed that Trump displayed “contempt, rage, parsimony, racism” at the thought of helping the Guillén family pay for Vanessa’s funeral. Vanessa was bludgeoned to death by another soldier at Fort Hood, Texas, and her family was invited to the Oval Office to meet with Trump. Her death was also the impetus for military reforms for women at bases at the state and federal levels.

Tim Walz Welcomed Chinese Communist Party Officials Into His Nebraska Classroom

/0 Comments/in , /by

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, welcomed Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials into his Nebraska classroom while working as a teacher in the 1990s, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found.

In February 1996, a delegation of three “educators” from southeast China visited Walz’s Alliance High School social studies class “to study the education system,” according to an unearthed Alliance Times-Herald article. However, the delegation included CCP officials who at the time worked for an institute serving a Chinese influence and intelligence agency, according to a DCNF review of Chinese government records.

Walz’s longstanding relationship with China has come under increased scrutiny following Vice President Kamala Harris’ August selection of the two-term governor as her running mate. Media reports have since revealed Walz not only misrepresented key details about his China travels, but also appointed a member of a political faction loyal to the CCP to Minnesota’s executive branch.

Neither Walz’s office nor the Harris-Walz campaign responded to multiple requests for comment.

Republican lawmakers have been demanding answers from federal authorities about the governor’s ties to the communist nation. (Read more from “Tim Walz Welcomed Chinese Communist Party Officials Into His Nebraska Classroom” HERE)

Michigan Secretary of State Spreads False Data While Accusing Elon Musk of Sharing ‘Disinformation’

/0 Comments/in , /by

When Elon Musk asked Democrat Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson about the state’s swollen voter rolls, she tried to debunk his claim — using false data.

“Michigan has more registered voters than eligible citizens!? Is that true @CommunityNotes?” Musk asked on Oct. 19.

“Let’s be clear: @elonmusk is spreading dangerous disinformation,” Benson replied. “Musk is pushing a misleading number that includes 1.2 million inactive records slated for removal in accordance with the law.”

She took an apparent victory lap, stopping by CNN to discuss “our work to empower every American to see through the noise and know the truth about our elections.”

The exchange between Musk and Benson went on for several days. (Read more from “Michigan Secretary of State Spreads False Data While Accusing Elon Musk of Sharing ‘Disinformation’” HERE)

Asking Questions About Election Integrity Doesn’t Make Someone an ‘Election Denier’

/0 Comments/in , /by

If Americans have questions and concerns about how our elections are administered and how ballots are tabulated, does that make them “election deniers,” conspiracy theorists, threats to democracy?

The Wall Street Journal seems to think so. In a long news report published over the weekend headlined, “‘It Feels Very Dystopian.’ Republican County Officials Brace for Election Deniers—Again,” the Journal repeatedly characterized those who think the 2020 election was stolen, rigged, or less-than-secure as “election deniers,” and stopped just short of calling them domestic terrorists.

The piece is framed as a disturbing look at the growing threats facing local election officials from “election deniers” — an asinine epithet — as we approach November 5: “Four years of baseless allegations of election fraud have created an atmosphere of fear and intimidation among election officials from Atlanta to rural Washington state, transforming the way workers in many parts of the country are approaching the most fundamental of civic duties.”

Election officials, workers, and even volunteers have been forced to take extraordinary measures to protect themselves, we’re told. Active shooter drills, barricading exercises, trauma kits, bulletproof glass, and bulletproof vests have all become commonplace in election offices across the country. Scary stuff.

And it’s all Trump’s fault, apparently. After a series of legal challenges to the 2020 results were dismissed, Trump “has continued to assert the election was rigged,” the article reads, eliding the important difference between stealing and rigging an election.

Biden-Harris Pentagon Sends Another $400 Million to Ukraine for ‘Immediate Needs’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Monday during a surprise visit to Ukraine announced $400 million in U.S. military aid to Kiev — the second approximately $400 million aid package sent within one week.

Austin told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky he was “honored” to be back for his fourth visit to Ukraine.

“Under President Biden’s leadership, the United States remains committed to keeping up this support. And so, I’m pleased to announce today the commitment of a $400 million presidential drawdown package to provide your forces with additional munitions, armored vehicles, and anti-tank weapons,” he told the Ukrainian president.

Austin said while the “focus on Ukraine’s immediate needs goes on,” the U.S. was also committed to supporting Ukraine as outlined in a bilateral security agreement he and President Joe Biden signed in July.

Just six days ago, the White House announced a package of military support of $425 million, after Biden spoke to Zelensky via phone. (Read more from “Biden-Harris Pentagon Sends Another $400 Million to Ukraine for ‘Immediate Needs’” HERE)

Alyssa Farah Encouraged Jan. 6 Witness To Leak To Reporters Amid Investigation

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former Trump administration official Alyssa Farah Griffin suggested to star Jan. 6 investigation witness Cassidy Hutchinson that she leak to the media while the investigation was ongoing, texts obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller reveal.

Farah, a former Pentagon press secretary during the Trump administration, twice suggested to Hutchinson during active legal proceedings that she should give information to reporters. The pair also discussed ways to circumvent Hutchinson’s lawyer, Stefan Passantino, to communicate with former Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney and the Jan. 6 committee, as first reported by Just The News.

“The alternative would be to just say fuck it and give it all to a reporter. Lol,” Farah texted Hutchinson after the latter asked if Cheney was still interested in working with her.

Shortly thereafter, in texts exclusively obtained by the Caller, Farah suggested that Hutchinson could coordinate with the committee to strategically leak some information to the press after testifying: “Btw, another idea.you could sit down and share it with the committee but then have the committee shares the big stuff you give them with press before your transcripts come out so it looks like it came from someone else.”

In later discussions, Hutchinson mentions that she is concerned with how to “reconfigure” her “reputation” within the media. (Read more from “Alyssa Farah Encouraged Cassidy Hutchinson To Leak To Reporters Amid Investigation” HERE)

Actor Encourages ‘Closeted Conservatives’ in Hollywood To Speak Out: ‘It’s Now or Never’

/14 Comments/in , , /by

Actor Zachary Levi encouraged the “closeted conservatives” in Hollywood to come out publicly after his endorsement of former President Trump.

During an Instagram Live video Sunday, the 44-year-old “Shazam” star addressed “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg’s claim that Hollywood was a “right-leaning town” where “very few people seem to bite it because they’re Republican.”

Levi disagreed with her comments, pointing out that she was only able to name actors Jon Voight and Dennis Quaid as examples out of the thousands working in Hollywood today. He added actors like them seem to only come out as Republican “at a certain level of your career to get away with it.”

“And what that means is there’s plenty — and by the way, they have sent me lots of messages — plenty of people in my industry in Hollywood that are terrified to publicly say that they would vote for Donald Trump or be conservative in any way,” Levi said. “That’s why you don’t see them. That’s why they’re not very prevalent or prominent because they know that there’s ramifications for this kind of s—.” . . .

“So anyway, my cry to all of you out there, you closeted conservatives, closeted Trump voters, y’all, it’s now or never, you know what I mean?” Levi said. “Do whatever you feel like you need to do. If you need to come out publicly and say it, if you feel like you still can’t, then don’t. I would never pressure you to do that, but know that if what you’re afraid of is somehow the backlash of an industry that’s not going to exist very soon, then don’t let that hold you back.” (Read more from “Actor Encourages ‘Closeted Conservatives’ in Hollywood To Speak Out: ‘It’s Now or Never’” HERE)

Prediction of ‘Protests in the Streets, Possibly Violent’ When 2024 Votes Counted

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A longtime political pundit, Frank Miele, retired editor of the Daily Inter Lake in Kalispell, Montana, now a commentator at RealClearPolitics, has written about what he expects when the presidential election ballots are counted in just two weeks.

The author of “The Media Matrix: What If Everything You Know Is Fake,” explains at Real Clear Wire that President Donald Trump, “will win, and he will win convincingly.”

“But that doesn’t mean the progressive left won’t have a meltdown. Just as in 2016, when Trump was first elected president, the media will be dismayed, the Democrats will be shocked, and there will be protests in the streets, possibly violent. Congressional Democrats such as Jamie Raskin will try to prevent Trump from being sworn in by declaring him an insurrectionist,” he explained.

He says that while there are seven battleground states that “are supposed to decide the election,” bigger is the fact that the American people “in large measure have come to regret the election that put Joe Biden in the White House four years ago.”

That was the election that Trump is accused in court of trying to “overturn.” It’s the election he’s cited as having been stolen. Actually, there were several undue influences on that result, in the midst of COVID. Mark Zuckerberg handed out $400 million plus to local election officials who often used the extra cash to recruit Democrat voters. The other was the FBI’s interference, when it falsely labeled the Hunter Biden laptop computer scandal as disinformation and told publishers to suppress it. A later polling showed that information, accurate as it was, very likely would have turned the results of the election around had it been reported ordinarily.
