Did Tim Scott Just Destroy His VP Shot With This Latest Double-Down on Mike Pence?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump reportedly has a very short veep list, and at the top is Senator Tim Scott—a politician who has never truly embraced the America First, Make America Great Again movement. He’s tried to ride the fence, offering occasional support here and there—he’s not downright awful, but his support always feels conditional and without any real passion or purpose. So, the question now is, did Tim Scott just disqualify himself as a possible VP with his latest appearance on ABC News? Many say yes and hope this marks the end of the tiresome “Scott hype.”

So, what happened? Well, Tim Scott is doing what he does best—being a wishy-washy establishment shill. Truthfully, being a member of the GOP swamp is all he knows, and no amount of backtracking or sidestepping now will change that. So, when Tim went on ABC News and stood by his statement that traitor and turncoat Mike Pence did the right thing by certifying a stolen 2020 election, nobody should be surprised. This is who Tim Scott is—he’s the black, male version of Nikki Haley. His alliances are with the establishment, and any act suggesting otherwise is as fake as a three-dollar bill.

Again, this shouldn’t shock anyone. Tim Scott has had some bright moments, but overall, he’s been an establishment dud since he first splashed onto the scene. We actually wrote a piece about him last year that rings truer today than ever.

Revolver:

President Trump has delivered his first endorsement since his political reemergence at CPAC, backing Tim Scott’s Senate reelection. Scott’s race is still nearly two years away; he isn’t expected to face a major primary challenge, and the race itself is unlikely to be close unless Republicans are having a seriously bad year.

Texas Doctor Faces Prison for Whistleblowing on Secret Child Gender Procedures

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice is targeting a Texas whistleblower who exposed Texas Children’s Hospital secretly performing attempted gender-transition procedures on children.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas announced Monday that it had indicted 34-year-old Eithan Haim for “obtaining protected individual health information for patients that were not under his care and without authorization.”

If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 maximum possible fine.

Texas Children’s had publicly said in March 2022 that it would no longer perform attempted gender-transition procedures on kids. In May 2023, Haim provided journalist Christopher Rufo with documents showing that Texas Children’s was “lying to the public about the existence of its transgender-medicine program,” as Haim later revealed in an explosive January 2024 piece.

“I worked at the hospital as a surgery resident, and I knew that these interventions didn’t stop,” Haim wrote. “Three days after the announcement, a surgeon implanted a hormone device in a healthy 11-year-old girl for gender dysphoria. Over the next year, the frequency of these procedures increased, and potentially hundreds more children received hormone interventions for gender dysphoria.” (Read more from “Texas Doctor Faces Prison for Whistleblowing on Secret Child Gender Procedures” HERE)

With His Colossal Border Failure, Biden Has Engineered Trump’s Amazing Comeback

/2 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, a 23-year-old man from El Salvador who entered the country illegally was arrested for the murder and rape of Maryland’s Rachel Morin, a mother of 5, last summer.

He also allegedly found the time, during his vacation in the United States, to break into the home of and assault a 9-year-old girl and her mother.

A day later, an Ecuadorian migrant who crossed into the country illegally before authorities apprehended and then released him into the country was arrested for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in Queens.

President Biden’s response? To announce what CBS News reported was to “one of the largest immigration relief programs in recent history” for “hundreds of thousands of immigrants living in the country without proper documents” as well as “DREAMers and other undocumented immigrants.”

Former President Donald Trump is on track to complete one of the greatest comebacks in American political history. (Read more from “With His Colossal Border Failure, Biden Has Engineered Trump’s Amazing Comeback” HERE)

Pakistan Has The Perfect Solution To Pride Month

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It’s not often we turn to Pakistan for how to have a functioning society. But in this rare instance, they might be onto something.

A Pakistani man tried to open a gay club for Pride Month. He was promptly admitted to a mental hospital. Simple as.

First off, I don’t believe anyone is gay in Pakistan. Do you see how horny they are on Facebook? No American man has ever received a “Dear Sir, send balls now” message from a Pakistani incel.

But there’s a reason the woke hypocrites in our State Department only fly pride flags in Western countries. The rainbow burqa wasn’t going to fly… Obviously. . .

Public service announcement to all public school teachers: talk to a child about his or her gender identity, and you’ll earn a one-way ticket to the asylum. There’s something clearly wrong with anyone who would convince a young, healthy child to mutilate their body — let alone as part of a sick, sexual fetish.

Files Disappear From the Phone of the Former Spanish Soldier Who Spied on Julian Assange for the CIA

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the main pieces of evidence against David Morales, the former Spanish soldier whose company spied on Julian Assange and his lawyers during his prolonged stay at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, has disappeared. The Spanish police did not deliver to Judge Santiago Pedraz the complete file of the Samsung S7 phone used by Morales to communicate with the alleged CIA agents to whom he provided the WikiLeaks founders’ defense strategy, according to documents of the judicial investigation to which EL PAÍS has had access. After repeated judicial requests, officers responded that “they do not know” the location of the complete file. Judge Pedraz has ordered its immediate recovery.

Prosecutor Carlos Bautista has complained about the disappearance of this file, which he describes as “essential” to the case. He has demanded it be found “because it contains more data than that made available to the parties.” The Public Prosecutor’s Office said: “It is extremely striking that the police unit has delivered the UFDR (Universal Forensic Data Report) and UFDX (Universal Forensic Data Exchange) files from the other devices and has not done so precisely from this one.” Previously, the Prosecutor’s Office also complained about the “certain paralysis” caused by “the exasperating slowness of the police force involved in the analysis of all the elements seized.”

Judge Pedraz has summoned the officers of the Cybercrime Unit to appear in court and make a copy — in his presence — of both files on the Samsung S7 in an attempt to recover the omitted information and find out who is responsible for its disappearance. Spain’s National Police declined to respond to this newspaper’s questions. . .

During the search of Morales’ home and offices in the Spanish city of Jerez de la Frontera, in September 2019, the investigators’ primary objective was precisely to seize the Samsung S7 G930F phone that protected witnesses (company workers) had configured for Morales so that he could allegedly communicate with the CIA. This detail was communicated to the officers who detained Morales before the arrest took place. But the police handed over the complete files of all the phones, computers and electronic devices seized from Morales’ home and offices, except for the files on the Samsung phone. This police action has meant that the Userdata folder — which stored Morales’s conversations on WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Proton Mail and Skype — has been removed from the case.

Morales — the owner of UC Global SL, a company that was in charge of security at the Ecuadorian embassy in London — was arrested two months after an EL PAÍS investigation released the audios and videos that its workers recorded of the Australian activist inside the embassy. This material was presented as evidence in a criminal complaint filed by Assange’s defense team, and Spain’s High Court, the Audiencia Nacional, opened an investigation into the violation of attorney-client privilege, misappropriation of funds and money laundering.

West Point Officer Arraigned on Charges of Drinking With Cadets, Violating No-Contact Orders for Women’s Tennis Team

/1 Comment/in , /by

A top West Point officer is facing a series of charges related to sexual misconduct, providing and drinking alcohol with cadets, violating no-contact orders with an entire women’s sports team at the academy, and soliciting cadets and another officer to lie on his behalf amid an investigation into his conduct.

Col. William Wright, the director of the U.S. Military Academy’s geospatial information science program, was arraigned on nine allegations Tuesday, according to court records reviewed by Military.com. He was also reassigned to a role at the academy where he does not have contact with cadets, according to an academy spokesperson.

“West Point holds our staff and faculty to high standards,” Col. Terence Kelley, an academy spokesperson, said in a statement to Military.com. “Upon allegations that our cadre have not upheld our standards, we promptly investigate to determine the facts, protect, and assist potential victims, and hold alleged violators accountable.” (Read more from “West Point Officer Arraigned on Charges of Drinking With Cadets, Violating No-Contact Orders for Women’s Tennis Team” HERE)

FBI Wants 20 Years to Produce Records on Its Involvement w/ OKC Bombing

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s been about nine years since Utah attorney Jesse Trentadue filed a Freedom of Information Act request for records about a CIA asset and FBI informant who helped fund the Oklahoma City bombing, as well as for records about a neo-Nazi bank-robbery gang also involved in the attack.

Tired of waiting, Trentaudue sued the FBI over the matter in February, demanding the bureau to produce the 69,375 pages of documents that it’s holding. But now, the FBI wants to take another nearly 12 years to fork over those documents to him, which means that it would take at least 20 years for the bureau to comply with his initial FOIA request.

Such a slow production rate is unacceptable, Trentadue said in a Tuesday court filing.

“The FBI proposes to process these records/documents for release to Plaintiff in monthly increments of 500 pages over a period of 11.5 years!” he said.

“If the Court accepts the FBI’s proposed snail-pace processing of these materials, Plaintiff will be close to 90-years of age when he finally receives all of them,” he said.

“He has already waited almost a decade for these documents/records, with the FBI having made no effort during the interim to produce them, and should not have to wait another 11.5 years to receive them.”

Trentadue has been suing the U.S. government for OKC bomb-related records for nearly 30 years, ever since his brother was murdered in a federal penitentiary. The complex story of how the death of Trentadue’s brother relates to the OKC bombing can be read in this Mother Jones article.

‘Undermining Families’: Teacher Fired After Taking Student to Get an Abortion

/2 Comments/in , , /by

An investigation has found that a public school teacher in New Hampshire was fired after requesting sick leave, during which the teacher actually took a student to get an abortion.

Documents released by the New Hampshire Department of Education revealed that the teacher had been “counseling” the student — both names were redacted — for several weeks about an unexpected pregnancy. The situation was originally referenced by Education Commissioner Frank Edelbut in an April op-ed, where he referenced numerous concerns expressed by teachers and parents alike. In the op-ed, he asked how the department should react “when, allegedly, an educator lies by calling in sick so they can take a student – without parental knowledge – to get an abortion. Should we turn a blind eye?”

Boston Globe reporter Steven Porter eyed the accusation with skepticism. “[Edelbut] alluded also to an eye-catching allegation about abortion, suggesting that an educator had been accused of calling in sick to take a student to terminate a pregnancy without the student’s parents knowing,” Porter said. “Was that accusation found to be true? He did not say.”

In May, documents were released confirming that the abortion scenario did, in fact, happen.

“[T]hey had been conversing with the student for 2.5 weeks regarding the medical appointment,” the investigation said. “[The teacher] told the student to determine how far along they were (and assisted them) so the student knew what options they’d have available.” Additionally, the teacher selected the facility for the student, and drove her there.

Not Minimum Security: Steve Bannon Being Sent to Violent-Offender Prison

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon will serve his four month sentence at a prison in Danbury, Connecticut, rather than a minimum-security prison camp where many nonviolent offenders are sent, according to CNN.

Bannon, who a judge recently ordered to report to prison by July 1 after being convicted for contempt of Congress, is not eligible for the minimum-security prison due to on ongoing criminal case against him in New York, CNN reported, citing sources familiar. The Danbury facility where Bannon is expected to report has housed violent offenders, including among the male population.

One male inmate at Danbury convicted for child sex abuse and threatening to kill a federal judge was indicted again in June for sending communications threatening to injure a court employee, according to the New Haven Register.

A female inmate formerly incarcerated in Danbury for “murder with a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime” pleaded guilty in June after she assaulted another inmate with a weapon made from two razor blades and a broken pencil, according to a DOJ press release.

A total of 1065 inmates are housed at Danbury FCI, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Roughly one-third of inmates are sex offenders, while under 40 % were convicted on drug-related charges, according to the News Times.

U.S. Soldier Gordon Black Sentenced to Nearly Four Years in Russia’s Penal Colony: Report

/5 Comments/in , /by

A US soldier detained in the Russian city of Vladivostok on charges of theft and threats to kill his girlfriend was found guilty on Wednesday and sentenced to three years and nine months in a Russian penal colony, Russian agencies reported.

Gordon Black, a 34-year-old US staff sergeant who was detained on May 2 in Vladivostok in Russia’s far east, pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges of threatening to kill his girlfriend but admitted he was “partially” guilty of stealing from her.

Black’s defense lawyer will appeal the verdict, said RIA agency, which reported the judge handing down the sentence of “imprisonment of three years and nine months” for both charges.

The agency reported that prosecutors had asked for a prison sentence of four years and eight months, while the defense asked for Black to be acquitted of all charges.

Black “partially” acknowledged his guilt on the charge of stealing 10,000 roubles ($113) from his girlfriend Alexandra Vashchuk’s purse but said that “there was no intent,” RIA reported.
