NYT Poll Spells Problems for Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

A poll released over the weekend spells serious trouble for President Joe Biden heading into the 2024 general election.

The poll, published by The New York Times and Siena College, is considered to be the #1 overall poll out of more than several hundred, according to 538’s pollster ratings.

The overwhelming majority of respondents — 62% of men and 68% of women — said that the U.S. was headed in the “wrong direction” under Biden.

If the 2024 presidential election were held today, 48% said that they would vote for former President Donald Trump while only 43% said that they would vote for Biden; 48% said that they believe that Trump will win while only 39% said that they believe Biden will win.

Only 18% said that Biden’s policies helped them personally and 43% said that his policies hurt them personally while 40% said that Trump’s policies helped them personally and only 25% said that Trump’s policies hurt them personally. (Read more from “NYT Poll Spells Problems for Biden” HERE)

Hunter Biden’s Chinese Legal ‘Client’ Threatens to Sue Unless First Son Pays Back $1 Million

/4 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden was paid $1 million by Chinese firm CEFC to act as attorney for their employee, Dr Patrick Ho, but now Ho is threatening to sue the first son within seven days unless he gets the money back — because he claims Hunter did no legal work for him.

Ho sent a legal letter to Hunter last week requesting that their attorney-client agreement be terminated immediately and threatening legal action unless he receives a detailed list of services provided by Hunter and reimbursement for the unused funds, as laid out in the 2017 contract.

Ho’s letter, sent by Hong Kong law firm Huen & Partners to Hunter’s attorney Abbe Lowell in Washington, DC, set a deadline of seven days for the repayment of any remaining funds.

“Patrick says he paid him, and that Hunter never did anything for him,” a friend of Ho’s told The Post, “and that according to the contract the money should be reimbursed.”

The $1 million legal retainer was wired from CEFC in China to CEFC’s Hong Kong HSBC account, and then, on November 2, 2017, to the American bank account of Hudson West III (HWIII) the firm Hunter co-owned with CEFC, and then to Hunter’s private firm, Owasco, according to his California tax indictment.

Nikki Haley Wins a Republican Primary for the First Time

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley won the District of Columbia’s GOP primary on Sunday, her first win in a Republican nominating contest after a string of losses to former President Donald Trump.

Haley carried the Washington, D.C., primary with just under 63% of the vote, according to The Associated Press. The primary comes two days before Super Tuesday contests, with hundreds more delegates at stake, could steepen her already daunting path to the nomination.

“Thank you, DC!” Haley wrote on X of the results. “We fight for every inch.”

Trump carried nominating contests in Missouri, Michigan and Idaho one day before the D.C. primary. Haley captured all 19 delegates at stake in Sunday’s contest, but still lags far behind Trump’s delegate count.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad Call for ‘Terror,’ Violence During Ramadan

/0 Comments/in , /by

Leaders of the major Palestinian terror groups have called for Arab states and the Muslim world to engage in “terror” during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan — even as the Biden administration aims for a Ramadan truce in Gaza.

Jerusalem Post reported Sunday:

Palestinian Islamic Jihad is calling for Ramadan to be a “month of terror” and seeks to escalate attacks in the West Bank and Gaza. In a recent speech, Abu Hamza, the spokesman for PIJ’s Al-Quds Brigades, said he wants Arab countries in the region and pro-Iranian groups to continue to “unify” various arenas and fronts against Israel.

This is the latest indication that terrorist groups plan to seek an escalation in hostilities over the next month. Hamza’s remarks were published by Beirut-based Al Mayadeen news channel, which is pro-Iranian and frequently highlights Hamas and Hezbollah attacks.

…

The terrorist group’s comments are also linked to those made by Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who has called for an escalation of hostilities during Ramadan.

Ramadan is set to begin on March 10, when the new moon heralds the arrival of the new month on the lunar calendar. (Read more from “Hamas and Islamic Jihad Call for ‘Terror,’ Violence During Ramadan” HERE)

Nikki Haley: I’m No Longer Bound by Pledge to Support Trump — RNC Is ‘Not the Same’

/2 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that she might not endorse former President Donald Trump even though she signed a Republican National Committee (RNC) pledge to do so.

Anchor Kristen Welker asked, “Have you moved to a place where you’re no longer planning to endorse him?”

Haley said, “Well, I think, first of all, if you talk about an endorsement, you’re talking about a loss. I don’t think like that. When you’re in a race, you don’t think about losing. You think about continuing to go forward. What I can tell you is, I don’t think Donald Trump or Joe Biden should be president. I don’t think we need two candidates in their 80s.”

Welker said, “Let me try it this way. You did sign a pledge, an RNC pledge, to support the eventual nominee. Do you still feel bound by that pledge?” . . .

She continued, “The RNC pledge, I mean, at the time of the debate, we had to take it to where would you support the nominee, in order to get on that debate stage, you said yes. The RNC is now not the same RNC. Now it’s Trump’s daughter-in-law.” (Read more from “Nikki Haley: I’m No Longer Bound by Pledge to Support Trump — RNC Is ‘Not the Same’” HERE)

Trump Smashes Nikki Haley 924-0 in Missouri, CRUSHES Her in Idaho

/1 Comment/in , /by

Word is not out yet on if Nikki Haley will declare a second-place moral victory after she collected ZERO delegate-equivalents in the Show-Me State. . .

Nikki fared little better in Idaho, getting crushed by a whopping 80 percentage points.

Lil’ Nikki doesn’t care about votes in what she probably considers to be flyover states, however. All she’s seeing are big Democrat donor and Military-Industrial Complex dollar signs as she amps up her increasingly deranged and feverish attacks on the presumptive nominee.

CIA Gave Highly Classified Intelligence to Journos to Fight a PR War Against Anti-Ukraine Republicans in Congress

/5 Comments/in , /by

Well, it looks like the band’s back together. The CIA and the New York Times have teamed up yet again to pull a fast one on the American people. Sadly, this shouldn’t surprise anybody. After all, the CIA and the New York Times have been working together to gaslight the American people on a whole host of issues, including the infamous and debunked “Russia hoax.”

There’s a common misconception that the CIA’s job is to protect the US from foreign dangers. That’s a cute idea, but it’s not true. . .

According to Mike Benz, this is the key paragraph from the New York Times CIA Ukraine piece that reveals, explicitly, why the CIA hand-selected the NYT to publish highly classified intelligence and invited hand-selected NYT journalists onto a secret CIA base: It was to pressure Republicans in Congress to keep funding Ukraine.

Mike appeared on Fox News radio and discussed three key points regarding the Ukraine/New York Times bombshell:

Must Watch: James O’Keefe Exposes Judge Engoron ‘Creeping’ on Women in Long Island Gym; Equinox Gym Bans Journalist

/6 Comments/in , /by

By The Post Millennial. On Wednesday, James O’Keefe dropped the latest video in his “On the Inside” series. This time, the target was Arthur Engoron, the New York City judge who handed down the $354 million fine in Donald Trump’s civil fraud case brought forth by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The video included a clip from a source alleging that Engoron was “creeping” on girls every time he went to the Equinox gym in Great Neck, Long Island.

Before long, O’Keefe spotted Engoron and walked over to him. . .

In the clip submitted by an anonymous source, Engoron can be seen talking to a woman who appears to be in her twenties. By the end of the clip, the woman looks “visibly annoyed” by the judge, putting her hand up and gesturing him “back off.”

In an X Space hosted by O’Keefe, the source elaborated on Engoron’s behavior, revealing that the judge “makes it a point to go up to any young girl possible every single visit.” (Read more from “Must Watch: James O’Keefe Exposes Judge Engoron ‘Creeping’ on Women in Long Island Gym” HERE)

Report: Dad Accused of Drugging Daughter’s Friends During Sleepover

/3 Comments/in , /by

In a disturbing incident that unfolded during a sleepover last August, a father in northwestern Oregon is facing serious allegations of spiking the smoothies of his daughter’s 12-year-old friends with sedatives. Authorities from the Lake Oswego Police Department (LOPD) revealed the shocking details in a recent press release, shedding light on the disturbing events that transpired at Michael Meyden’s home.

On August 26, 2023, three 12-year-old girls, guests at Meyden’s residence, were rushed to a children’s hospital after exhibiting symptoms of exposure to an “unknown prescription drug.” Following an extensive investigation, LOPD detectives concluded that Michael Meyden, a 57-year-old man, was allegedly responsible for contaminating the girls’ bloodstreams with drugs.

Meyden voluntarily presented himself at the Clackamas County Jail and now faces serious charges, including three counts each of “Causing Another to Ingest a Controlled Substance,” “Application of a Schedule-4 Controlled Substance to Another,” and “Delivery of a Controlled Substance to a Minor,” according to the LOPD.

Detective Nicole Palmeri, who spearheaded the investigation, identified the drug used by Meyden as benzodiazepine, a class of depressants known for producing sedation and hypnosis. The Drug Enforcement Administration notes that benzodiazepines are legally obtainable only by prescription.

The court affidavit, as reported by The Oregonian, provides chilling details of the alleged incident. The girls suspected that their mango drinks, served by Meyden, had been tampered with when they noticed “tiny white chunks throughout and sprinkled on top.” Despite one girl expressing reluctance to drink the smoothie, Meyden allegedly insisted and even provided another one.

According to the affidavit, Meyden directed the girls to get ready for bed and reportedly checked on them multiple times in the basement, waving in one girl’s face and manipulating another’s arm and body. Sensing something was amiss, one of the girls pretended to drink the smoothie, later texting her mother about feeling unsafe and urgently needing to be picked up.

The text read: “Mom please pick me up and say I had a family emergency. I don’t feel safe. I might not respond but please come get me (crying emoji), Please. Please pick up. Please. PLEASE!!” A family friend retrieved the girl, and her parents subsequently reached out to the other parents, leading to Meyden’s confrontation with concerned parents at his house.

One of the girls exhibited concerning symptoms approximately 12 hours after the alleged drugging, including heavy eyelids, slow speech, and a feeling of wooziness and clumsiness. She described falling into a “thick, deep sleep” and repeatedly asked her parents about the events that unfolded after leaving Meyden’s house.

The shocking incident has left the community in disbelief, prompting a thorough investigation and raising concerns about the safety of children during seemingly innocent sleepovers.

Democrats Are Furious That Due Process Is Ruining Their Lawfare Schedule

/1 Comment/in , /by

On Monday, Special Counsel Jack Smith requested the Supreme Court take up the question of presidential immunity in the election interference case against former president Donald Trump. It took only a few hours for the court to grant that request.

Now, you might be under the impression that such a quick result would greatly please Democrats. But there’s a major hitch. It seems that the justices forgot to ask Rachel Maddow to plan their schedules. Though the court expedited the case, arguments won’t be heard until April, with a decision likely to come in late June — making it unlikely, though not impossible, that there will be a trial before the 2024 election.

With this news, scores of left-wing pundits accused the justices of conspiring to help Trump win the election. By granting Smith’s request, Chris Hayes complained it “was a clear, unmistakable sign from the MAGA majority of the Trump-created court that they are with him. That they are going to use their power to make sure that he does not face trial in an election year for attempting to end American democracy.”

Sometimes, I wonder if Hayes and the others who happily watch constitutional protections and procedures dismantled when it suits their partisan needs know they are engaged in a mass act of projection.

Consider that Hayes demands SCOTUS render a judgment on a historic immunity case on a schedule that comports with the partisan objectives of Democrats – namely, putting Trump in front of a judge at the height of a 2024 presidential campaign. Or, in other words, Hayes wants the court to do the very thing he contends is corrupt for the court to do.
