Cruel Owner Who Tied Dog to Fence in Hurricane Milton Evacuation Says He Did It Because He ‘Couldn’t Find Anyone’ To Pick the Terrier Up

/1 Comment/in , /by

The cruel Florida dog owner who left his pooch tied to a fence in floodwaters on the side of a highway as Hurricane Milton barreled down on the Sunshine State last week has been caught.

Giovanny Aldama Garcia was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated animal cruelty, a third-degree felony.

Garcia admitted leaving the canine, a white bull terrier, on Interstate 75 as he raced toward Georgia ahead of the storm.

The 23-year-old told officials he left his dog, Jumbo, because he “couldn’t find anyone to pick the dog up,” according to Hillsborough County State Attorney Suzy Lopez.

“In Hillsborough County, we take animal cruelty very seriously. This defendant is charged with a felony and could face up to five years in prison for his actions,” Lopez said. “Quite frankly, I don’t think that is enough. Hopefully, lawmakers take a look at this case and discuss changing the law to allow for harsher penalties for people who abandon their animals during a state of emergency.” (Read more from “Cruel Owner Who Tied Dog to Fence in Hurricane Milton Evacuation Says He Did It Because He ‘Couldn’t Find Anyone’ To Pick the Terrier Up” HERE)

Kamala Harris’ Poll Numbers Are Plummeting — And Even CNN Is Saying It

/3 Comments/in , /by

Mainstream media are reporting great polling numbers for Donald Trump and Republicans — but unfortunately for the media, they can’t say the same for Kamala Harris and the Democrats.

“The big headline, this a national head-to-head poll, is that Vice President Kamala Harris had a five-point lead in our last poll taken a month ago, right after the debate. That lead has all but evaporated,” Kristen Welker of “Meet the Press” said in a segment on NBC.

The polls are now reflecting a tie, what Welker is calling a “deadlocked race.”

“It underscores what we all know: that this is tight, that the country is sharply divided,” she explained, adding, “One of the other big headlines here, people are viewing the Trump presidency more favorably than the Biden presidency.”

“We’ve seen the vice president get pressed repeatedly on what she would do differently than President Biden, and she’s really struggled with that answer,” Welker finished. (Read more from “Kamala Harris’ Poll Numbers Are Plummeting — And Even CNN Is Saying It” HERE)

Harris Endorsed Transgender Operations for Prisoners in Bret Baier’s Fox News Interview

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris told Fox News host Bret Baier she would “follow the law” when asked about her support for prisoner “sex change” surgeries. According to the law under the Biden-Harris administration, trans-identifying prisoners could be entitled to taxpayer dollars for the procedures.

On Wednesday, Baier presented Harris with an ad from former President Donald Trump’s campaign airing the then-California senator’s endorsement of trans surgeries for prison inmates. During a sit-down interview with the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) in 2019, Harris spoke about her time as attorney general when she “made sure that they changed the policy in the state of California so that every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access to the medical care that they desired and need,” including requested surgery.

“Are you still in support of using taxpayer dollars to help prison inmates or detained illegal aliens to transition to another gender?” Baier asked.

“I will follow the law,” she said, “and it’s a law that Donald Trump actually followed.”

“The Trump aides say that he never advocated for that prison policy,” Baier said, “and no gender transition surgeries happened during his presidency.” (Read more from “Harris Endorsed Transgender Operations for Prisoners in Bret Baier’s Fox News Interview” HERE)

Drones Are Swarming U.S. Military Bases, and Our Incompetent Bureaucracy Won’t Do Anything About It

/0 Comments/in , /by

If you had told President Dwight D. Eisenhower that the military-industrial complex he famously warned against would find itself repeatedly foiled by an off-the-shelf product available at the grocery store, he probably would not have believed you.

The Oct. 12 story published in The Wall Street Journal, about how mysterious drones over Langley Air Force Base have baffled the best of America’s military and homeland security apparatus, is clearly not intended to leave you with this impression, yet it does.

The Journal article was likely intended as yet another entry in the now-extensive subgenre of Pentagon reporting that might be called, “What are we going to do about the UFOs?”

In these stories, which seem to regularly appear several times a year (possibly timed with congressional appropriations), military and intelligence officials either publicly or anonymously complain to their regular Pentagon beat journalists about how they are stumped by the mysterious lights in the sky. In 2022, the Pentagon set up the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) to better collect and analyze reports of these UFO sightings. Before AARO was the wordier Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG), set up in 2021. Congress has had multiple UFO hearings, ranging from fairly serious investigations into the likely role of Russian and Chinese drones surveilling U.S. national security sites to “X Files”-style hearings with whistleblowers claiming the U.S. has recovered alien corpses — or, as they phrase it, “biologics.” (Read more from “Drones Are Swarming U.S. Military Bases, and Our Incompetent Bureaucracy Won’t Do Anything About It” HERE)

FCC Commissioner Seeking Investigation Into Allegation CBS Distorted Harris’ ’60 Minutes’ Interview

/0 Comments/in , /by

A member of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has asked the body’s chair to take up a complaint filed with the FCC to compel CBS to release the full transcript from its “60 Minutes” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, the Daily Caller News Foundation learned first.

CBS aired two different broadcasts with separate answers from Harris in response to the same question from “60 Minutes” interviewer Bill Whitaker on whether Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “listening” to the Biden-Harris administration. FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington told the DCNF that while the commission often receives frivolous complaints alleging news distortion, the complaint lodged on Oct. 16 by the Center for American Rights (CAR) against WCBS, CBS’ New York subsidiary, is substantively different and should not be dismissed at face value.

Former President Trump Campaigns with Arab American Mayor

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On Friday, former President Donald Trump brought his campaign to Michigan, where he was joined by Hamtramck Mayor Ameer Ghalib, an Arab American leader who has publicly endorsed him. The visit, which took place in the city of Hamtramck, highlighted a unique alliance as Trump aims to bolster support among diverse communities.

During a press conference, Mayor Ghalib voiced his concerns about the Democratic Party’s approach towards the Arab American and Muslim-American communities, accusing them of attempting to instill fear among legal second and third-generation immigrants. Ghalib stated, “They are trying to scare our community that Trump is coming to deport them.”

Trump expressed his gratitude for Ghalib’s endorsement, describing it as a “tremendous honor” to be in the city alongside the mayor. In recognition of their partnership, Ghalib presented Trump with a certificate of appreciation.

“President Trump keeps saying that our country is in decline and the ship is sinking,” Ghalib said, framing the situation as a need for decisive leadership. “So, sometimes it’s wise enough to sail against the wave, so we can get to the shore safely under the leadership of President Trump, and that’s why I endorse President Trump.”

Ghalib’s endorsement, which he made in September, emphasized that while he and Trump may not see eye-to-eye on every issue, he believes Trump represents the right choice for the future.

Judge Unseals Heavily Redacted Trove of Evidence in Trump’s 2020 Election Interference Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

The information that could be seen in the redacted version released Friday appeared to be material that for the most part had already been made public, including screenshots of Trump social media posts about the 2020 election and a transcript of the video statement he made on Jan. 6, 2021 in, which he told the rioters attacking the Capitol to go home, but added: “we love you” and “you’re very special.”

The overwhelming majority of the pages released Friday were whited-out. The redacted files are believed to include things like transcripts of grand jury testimony, which remain under wraps because of grand jury secrecy rules.

Trump Says Kamala Harris Lied About Working at McDonald’s: ‘We Checked It Out’

/2 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump said Friday on Fox & Friends that Vice President Kamala Harris lied about working at McDonald’s.

“She lied,” Trump said. Show host Brian Kilmeade asked, “You don’t think she ever worked at McDonald’s?”

Trump responded, “I know she didn’t. We checked it out. Unless somebody comes up with something. We checked it out. They said, ‘She never worked here.’”

Trump added, “She even picked a store, we went to the manager, the manager’s been there forever. ‘You remember here?’ ‘No, she never worked here.’”

After Harris claimed to have worked at a McDonald’s, her campaign later said it was a McDonald’s in Alameda, California, in the summer of 1983. There are only two McDonald’s in Alameda, as reported by Breitbart News as part of a deep dive report into her upbringing. The Harris campaign did not respond to a query by Breitbart News as to which McDonald’s in Alameda she worked at.

Kamala Harris Is Priming Democrats for Violent Resistance if Trump Wins

/3 Comments/in , /by

By now it’s commonplace to note that Kamala Harris often seems out of her depth, like she’s unsure what to say about policy, or how to explain her past positions, or why she hasn’t already done the things she’s promised to do if she’s elected given that she’s the current vice president.

But on one particular subject she’s been consistent and forceful throughout her campaign. She’s adamant that Donald Trump will destroy America if he’s reelected. And not “destroy” in the sense of enact bad policies, but that he’ll round people up with the military and put them in camps.

She talks about this all the time now. At one point during her Wednesday evening interview with Bret Baier on Fox News, she became visibly upset after Baier played a clip of former President Donald Trump calling out the weaponization of government and the endless investigations and lawfare he’s been subjected to.

The vice president, her voice rising in outrage, jabbed her finger at Baier and said, “You and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military on the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him.”

At a campaign rally in Pennsylvania this week she told the crowd that former President Donald Trump considers anyone who doesn’t support him to be an enemy of the United States. “He is saying he would use the military to go after them.” (Read more from “Kamala Harris Is Priming Democrats for Violent Resistance if Trump Wins” HERE)

Report: Communist China’s Spying ‘Expanded Rapidly’ Across 20 States Under Biden and Harris

/0 Comments/in , /by

Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spying in the United States “expanded rapidly” under the Biden-Harris administration’s watch, according to a congressional report released Thursday.

Published by the House Homeland Security Committee’s House Committee On Homeland Security’s Subcommittee On Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, And Intelligence, the assessment details how cases of “CCP-related espionage and acts of transnational repression” have significantly increased since President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office. The analysis was first reported by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

“Beijing has continually encroached upon American sovereignty to spy, intimidate, and harass not only defectors, but even American citizens,” Committee Chair and Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn. said in a statement. “It is important we remain clear-eyed about the threat the CCP poses to the security of the American people so we are prepared to counter its malign influence at every turn.”

According to the report, there have been more than 55 “CCP-related espionage cases in 20 states” from January 2021-October 2024. These have included incidents related to “transmission of sensitive military information to [the People’s Republic of China] PRC,” “stealing of trade secrets to benefit the PRC,” “transnational repression schemes to target PRC dissidents,” and “obstruction of justice.”

As The Federalist previously reported, there have been numerous cases throughout the past year alone in which foreign nationals have attempted to breach U.S. military installations. In March, officials apprehended a Chinese male who was reportedly attempting to gain access to Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, California.
