Nikki Haley Fails to Say a Man Cannot Become a Woman

/0 Comments/in , /by

Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley failed to definitively state during a tele-town hall with Iowa voters over the weekend that a man cannot become a woman.

Haley was originally supposed to hold an in-person town hall in Dubuque over the weekend, but that turned into a tele-town hall due to the extreme winter weather. During the event, she took a question from a man named John, who expressed that he was unhappy with the way former President Donald Trump answered that same question during a sit-down with Megyn Kelly.

“A lot of the stuff that Trump does, you know, and says, really bothers me, and I’m concerned about it,” the man told Haley. . .

“You know, one thing I saw him do was, he said that, uh, he had trouble answering the question, could a man become a woman? And I’m just wondering what, what your response to that question is?” he asked. . .

She began:

Now, can a man become a woman? There’s been a lot that’s been talked about when it comes to all of these roles and all of these issues. I strongly believe that we should not allow any gender change surgeries to anyone before the age of 18. Period. We– kids now can’t get a tattoo until they’re 18. We shouldn’t have them permanently change their body until they’re 18. And that includes puberty blockers, that includes any sort of hormones that would do that.

Trump Dominates Final Iowa Caucus Poll: Haley in Second, DeSantis in Third

/2 Comments/in , /by

As the Iowa caucuses loom on the political horizon, the latest and final poll from Emerson College paints a clear picture of former President Donald Trump’s commanding lead among GOP contenders. With 55 percent support, Trump stands as the front-runner, leaving former U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley in second place at 21 percent and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in third at 15 percent.

The survey, conducted from Feb. 11 to Feb. 13, interviewed 562 likely caucus-goers and carries a margin of error of 4.2 percent. The results echo the sentiments of the Des Moines Register poll released earlier, reinforcing Trump’s strong position with 48 percent support, Haley at 20 percent, and DeSantis at 16 percent.

The anticipation surrounding Monday’s caucuses is palpable, with frigid weather adding an extra layer of challenge. Despite the adverse conditions, most Republicans and political observers are expecting a resounding victory for Trump. The pivotal question, however, is whether Trump can secure not only a win but a substantial one, potentially reaching a majority of support.

The battle for second place is equally crucial, as DeSantis, who had confidently predicted victory in Iowa for months, faces the prospect of a less-than-expected finish.

Nikki Haley, positioned in second place in the polls, also faces scrutiny. If she fails to secure this expected position or trails Trump significantly, doubts about her path forward may emerge.

The outcome of the Iowa caucuses will set the tone for the GOP nomination race. If Trump’s dominance translates into votes, it could signal lasting momentum for him in subsequent contests across various states. Conversely, if challengers prove resilient, the nomination process may evolve into a more protracted battle.

Trump’s enduring appeal is underscored not only by poll results but also by significant endorsements from key figures within the Republican Party. North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and Senator Marco Rubio, once rivals, endorsed Trump, emphasizing a growing unity behind his candidacy. The recent formal backing from Senator Mike Lee, a prominent conservative, further solidifies Trump’s position within the party.

As the Hawkeye State prepares to cast its votes, all eyes are on whether Trump’s dominance will translate into a decisive victory and, if so, how it will shape the trajectory of the Republican primary race in the days and weeks to come. The Iowa caucuses are not merely a contest; they are a critical juncture that could influence the course of the entire nomination process.

“We Will Fight You to the Death”: Bannon Sends Chilling Warning to Speaker Johnson…

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Many conservatives have had it with Speaker Mike Johnson. He seems to have transitioned from a MAGA man to a Swamp insider surprisingly quickly, and the natives are getting very restless. One of the voices calling out Speaker Johnson the loudest is none other than War Room creator and America First loyalist Steve Bannon.

However, it wasn’t always this way for Mike. He started off promising and had a lot of MAGA support behind him. But things went sideways, and his troubles started with the January 6 footage. He promised to release it all but ended up pulling a no-show, just like McCarthy did. That left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth, and Mike’s been going downhill ever since. . .

Bannon is livid with Speaker Johnson, accusing him of a “bald-faced lie.” He’s warned Johnson that we’ll “fight him to the”death”—metaphorically speaking—if he tries to push through this swampy deal. Bannon believes that if the government shuts down, the public will understand the reasons behind it, as long as it’s properly explained to them.

Of course, most of the people in this country loathe the government anyway.

Steve is right. Mike is at a crossroads, and he needs to think long and hard about his next move. If Mike knows what’s good for him, he’ll seize this opportunity to correct his course and begin acting like an “America First” lawmaker instead of aligning with Deep State swamp rats.

Dr. Anthony Fauci Deserves to Go to Prison Over ‘Dishonesty’ on COVID-19 Origins: Sen. Rand Paul

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dr. Anthony Fauci “should go to prison” for mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic and making the “worst decision ever made by a public health official in the history of time” regarding the origins of the deadly outbreak, Sen. Rand Paul charged Sunday.

Paul, a Kentucky Republican and eye doctor, has repeatedly clashed with Fauci over mask-wearing, lockdowns and other emergency measures ordered and recommended by the then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

“History should judge him as a deficient person who made one of the worst decisions in public health history — in the entire history of the world,” Paul said of the former chief White House medical advisor during an interview on WABC 770 AM’s “The Cats Roundtable.”

The senator ripped “slipshod” Fauci, holding him culpable for research done in the Wuhan, China lab, which Paul believes triggered the viral outbreak.

“For his dishonesty, frankly, he should go to prison,” Paul told WABC host John Catsimatidis. “Do you think the scientific knowledge that was gained from this research was worth the deaths of 20 million people?” (Read more from “Dr. Anthony Fauci Deserves to Go to Prison Over ‘Dishonesty’ on COVID-19 Origins: Sen.

Biden Administration Urges Israel to Ease Intensity on Hamas in Gaza

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden White House said on Sunday that they are “intensely” pressuring Israel to lower the intensity of their military operations against the Hamas terrorist organization inside Gaza.

The Sunday remarks from John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council, to Margaret Brennan on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” came 100 days after Hamas’ unprecedented terror attack when more than 1,200 Israelis were murdered.

‘Not MAGA’: Donald Trump Directly Attacks Vivek Ramaswamy (VIDEO)

/4 Comments/in , /by

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump directly attacked GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy Saturday evening on social media.

Trump directly trashed Ramaswamy for the first time in a Truth Social post, stating that the Republican hopeful is “not MAGA.”

“Vivek started his campaign as a great supporter, ‘the best President in generations,’ etc. Unfortunately, now all he does is disguise his support in the form of deceitful campaign tricks,” Trump wrote. “Very sly, but a vote for Vivek is a vote for the ‘other side’ — don’t get duped by this.”

“Vote for ‘TRUMP,’ don’t waste your vote! Vivek is not MAGA,” Trump wrote. “The Biden indictments against his Political Opponent will never be allowed in this Country, they are already beginning to fall! MAGA!!!” . . .

Ramaswamy responded to Trump’s attack Saturday evening in a video posted on X. He urged supporters to “open your eyes” to the uphill battle Trump faces, writing that “this system will stop at nothing to keep this man away from the White House.”

House Republicans Offer to Accommodate Hunter Biden With New Subpoenas

/3 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans said on Sunday they are willing to accommodate Hunter Biden by agreeing to subpoena him again for the impeachment inquiry into his father, President Joe Biden, after he refused to comply with the last round.

Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote to Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, welcoming the first son’s “newfound willingness” to testify before Congress in a deposition under subpoena.

“Although the Committee’s subpoenas are lawful and remain legally enforceable, as an accommodation to Mr. Biden and at your request, we are prepared to issue subpoenas compelling Mr. Biden’s appearance at a deposition on a new date in the coming weeks,” they wrote.

Lowell wrote a letter to the chairmen on Friday after the oversight and judiciary panels approved resolutions to hold his client in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas issued in November.

The lawyer said Hunter Biden would appear for a deposition or hearing in compliance with a “proper subpoena” since the House voted to formally authorize the impeachment inquiry last month. (Read more from “House Republicans Offer to Accommodate Hunter Biden With New Subpoenas” HERE)

Biden Receives Rude Welcome While Visiting Swing State: ‘Go Home, Joe!’

/2 Comments/in , , /by

President Biden received a rude welcome from swing-state voters who mercilessly heckled him during a Friday trip to Pennsylvania.

The 81-year-old commander in chief was met with shouts of “Go home, Joe!” and “You’re a loser!” by residents of an Allentown-area house as he walked into a bicycle store, according to a pool report.

Hours later, protesters opposed to Biden’s support for the Israeli offensive against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip vowed that he’d pay the price at the ballot box in November.

“We will remember in November,” the group chanted near a firefighter training center — also adding, “No vote for genocide Joe.”

The president made the trip without delivering prepared remarks ahead of a weekend getaway at Camp David in Maryland. (Read more from “Biden Receives Rude Welcome While Visiting Swing State: ‘Go Home, Joe!’” HERE)

Concerns Rise as Over $1 Billion in U.S. Military Aid to Ukraine Goes Unaccounted For

/2 Comments/in , /by

A new report from the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General has revealed that more than $1 billion worth of weapons dispatched to Ukraine, intended to be meticulously monitored by the Pentagon, cannot be fully traced. The findings have raised concerns over the potential for these weapons to be “stolen or smuggled,” further complicating efforts to secure additional U.S. funding for Ukraine’s ongoing conflict with Russia.

The report specifically highlights that out of $1.699 billion worth of equipment designated for enhanced end-use monitoring (EEUM) protocols, $1.005 billion, or 59%, “remained delinquent” and unaccounted for. The New York Times has noted that the weapons’ susceptibility to being “stolen or smuggled” could undermine support from lawmakers for continued military assistance.

The report emphasizes that nearly 40,000 weapons, including sensitive items such as Javelin and Stinger missiles, night-vision devices, and various missiles, were not adequately tracked as required by U.S. law. The concern is heightened due to the allure of these weapons for arms smugglers, given their battlefield impact, sensitive technology, and relatively small size.

While the report does not provide evidence of weapons misuse after transfer from the U.S., it identifies multiple reasons for the tracking errors. Factors contributing to the lack of accountability include the limited number of personnel involved in the Office of Defense Cooperation-Ukraine (ODC-Ukraine) at logistics hubs, the absence of EEUM procedures in a hostile environment until December 2022, movement restrictions for EEUM personnel within Ukraine, and a lack of internal controls for validating data in the SCIP-EUM database.

The report’s release comes at a critical juncture when public sentiment in the United States regarding additional funding for Ukraine is already strained.

‘Simply Not Going To Be Messed With’: U.S. Planning For Houthi Retaliation, Pentagon Official Says

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Iran-backed Houthis are likely to retaliate for strikes the U.S. and United Kingdom conducted on dozens of targets in Yemen the rebels used to launch attacks on commercial shipping and U.S. military vessels, a top Pentagon military officer said Friday.

Neither the U.S. nor the Houthis yet know the extent of the damage from Thursday evening’s bombardment, Lt. Gen. Douglas Sims, who heads the Joint Staff’s operations directorate, said on a call with reporters. But, Sims said it’s “within the DNA” of the Houthis to continue attacks that do not bring them any immediate benefit despite realizing that the U.S. will not relent in efforts to secure freedom in international waters.

“My guess is that the Houthis are trying to figure things out on the ground and trying to determine what capabilities still exist for them. As you know, their rhetoric has been pretty strong and pretty high. I would expect that they will attempt some sort of retaliation,” Sims said.

U.S. aircraft, warships and one submarine fired 15o of various kinds of munitions at dozens of targets in 28 locations, Sims said. After striking more than 60 targets, including radars, missile launch sites and storage facilities, munitions depots and other targets at 16 locations, the U.S. conducted a second round of strikes on 12 more targets, Sims said.

The Houthis launched a ballistic missile at a commercial vessel Friday after the strikes, Sims confirmed. The missile missed its target but demonstrates the group’s persistence in attempting to shut down trade through the critical waterway, according to Sims.
