Air Guard Wing Commander Resigns Over Abortion Policy, Governor Says

/10 Comments/in , /by

The commander of the Arkansas Air National Guard’s 188th Air Wing resigned late last month for what the state’s Governor said is a protest of the Pentagon policy that pays for reproductive medical expenses, which includes out-of-state travel for abortions.

According to Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ office, Colonel Dillon Patterson resigned on December 18 as commander of the 188th Air Wing at Ebbing Air National Guard Base just, just outside the town of Fort Smith on the Oklahoma border.

Sanders announced Patterson’s resignation in a letter sent to President Joe Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

“Col. Patterson was forced to personally choose between either continuing his command or adhering to his sincerely held religious beliefs against abortion,” Sanders wrote in a letter first reported by the conservative outlet the Daily Caller. “Because he adhered first to his faith instead of overtly political mandates, he voluntarily resigned his command. I admire Col. Patterson for having the confidence of his convictions, but regret that our nation’s military will suffer the loss of a dedicated airman, leader, and guardsman as a commander.” (Read more from “Air Guard Wing Commander Resigns Over Abortion Policy, Governor Says” HERE)

Dem Rep Who Breathlessly Defends Biden Family Releases Trump Corruption Report — With One Big Problem

/0 Comments/in , , /by

House Democrats published a report Thursday showing former President Donald Trump received at least $7.8 million from foreign sources, a smaller total than the Biden family.

Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, released the Trump report and accused House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer of fighting his attempts to obtain business records for the report.

“President Trump’s businesses received, at a minimum, $7.8 million in foreign payments from at least 20 countries during his presidency. These included payments from foreign governments and foreign government-owned or -controlled entities to properties owned by Donald Trump,” the report reads.

The $7.8 million figure listed in the Trump report is less than the $15 million Biden family members made from roughly 2014-19 during and after Joe Biden’s vice presidency, according to a memo circulated in September by House Republicans.

Who Is Iowa School Shooting Suspect Dylan Butler?

/2 Comments/in , /by

Gunman Dylan Butler endured years of relentless bullying that had recently engulfed his sister in the leadup to his violent rampage at his rural Iowa high school Thursday, community members said.

The 17-year-old was armed with a pump-action shotgun, a small-caliber handgun and a makeshift explosive device when he opened fire at Perry High School at 7:47 a.m., police said.

Butler killed a sixth-grader and injured five others, including his principal, before turning the gun on himself.

He had plans to kill many more, however — his body was found with the not-yet-detonated improvised explosive device, which cops described as “pretty rudimentary.” . . .

Sisters Yesenia Roeder and Khamya Hall, both 17, alongside their mother, Alita, told the Associated Press that Butler finally snapped after his younger sister started getting picked on, too. (Read more from “Who Is Iowa School Shooting Suspect Dylan Butler?” HERE)

Trump Accuses Special Counsel of Violating Court Order, Seeks Contempt Charges

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump has accused special counsel Jack Smith of violating a court order that paused proceedings in the case. Trump, through his re-election campaign, is seeking to hold Smith in contempt of court for allegedly defying the stay granted by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan.

The controversy revolves around the stay of proceedings that Judge Chutkan had imposed after Trump’s legal team appealed her decision to reject their request to dismiss the case. The appeal, centering on claims of presidential immunity and double jeopardy, is currently under consideration by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. However, Trump’s attorneys claim that Smith’s team continued making submissions despite the ongoing appeal, violating the stay order.

According to a 15-page filing by Trump’s legal team, prosecutors breached the stay almost immediately by serving thousands of pages of discovery and a “purported” draft exhibit list. The filing alleges that despite a warning from Trump regarding potential relief if such conduct persisted, prosecutors filed a motion containing “partisan rhetoric, including false claims.”

The filing further states, “In this manner, the prosecutors seek to weaponize the Stay to spread political propaganda, knowing that President Trump would not fully respond because the Court relieved him of the burdens of litigation during the Stay. Worse, the prosecutors have announced their intention to continue this partisan-driven misconduct indefinitely, effectively converting this Court’s docket into an arm of [President Joe Biden’s re-election] Campaign.”

Trump’s legal team is now requesting the federal court in Washington, D.C., to order prosecutors to show cause for why they should not be held in contempt. They also seek the withdrawal of their filings, a prohibition on future productions without express permission from the court, and monetary sanctions for attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in the response.

As of now, Smith’s team has not issued an immediate reply to the filing, and they have declined to comment to the media. In the original stay order, Judge Chutkan emphasized the temporary pause on proceedings but clarified that deadlines and protective measures, such as the gag order against Trump, have not been permanently vacated.

In response to the recent developments, a spokesperson for Trump, Steven Cheung, stated, “Rather than respect the rule of law, Jack Smith unilaterally decided to disobey the stay order and continue with his harassing litigation, all done to keep parroting the pathetic Biden Campaign’s corrupt talking points in the name of election interference. As a result, President Trump is seeking to hold Deranged Jack in contempt of Court. No prosecutor is above the law.”

Unsealed Docs Seem to Include Claim That Clinton ‘Threatened’ Magazine Not to Write Epstein Sex-Trafficking Articles

/2 Comments/in , /by

After some Jeffrey Epstein-related documents were unsealed on Wednesday, a new batch of documents was unsealed on Thursday, including an email — which appears to be from Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre — that seems to claim former President Bill Clinton “threatened” Vanity Fair not to do sex-trafficking pieces regarding Epstein.

“When i was doing some research into VF yesterday, it does concern me what they could want to write about me considering that B.Clinton walked into VF and threatened them not to write sex-trafficing articles about his good friend J.E.,” the email reads. While the email’s “From” line indicates that it is from “Virginia Giuffre,” the note appears to be signed “xoxoxoxo Jenna.”

Former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter told the Telegraph, “This categorically did not happen.”

The unsealed documents stem from a 2015 lawsuit lodged by Giuffre, which Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell settled in 2017, according to CNN. The outlet noted that Maxwell was found guilty of sex trafficking in 2021 but that her attorneys had said in a statement, “She has consistently and vehemently maintained her innocence.” (Read more from “Unsealed Docs Seem to Include Claim That Clinton ‘Threatened’ Magazine Not to Write Epstein Sex-Trafficking Articles” HERE)

DeSantis: Trump Is Not Pro-Life — He Flip-Flopped on the Sanctity of Life

/2 Comments/in , /by

Republican 2024 presidential hopeful Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said Thursday on a CNN Town Hall that his rival for the nomination, former President Donald Trump, was not pro-life. . .

Host Kaitlan Collins said, “Do you think Donald Trump is not pro-life?”

DeSantis said, “Of course not. I mean, when you’re saying that pro-life protections are a terrible thing, by definition you are not pro-life. When you say that you want to have a federal law at 18 weeks or 20 weeks that would override a state like Iowa that has enacted pro-life protections, that would mean more abortions, not less abortions. Because very few abortions are happening that late anyway. So, he has flip-flopped on this issue. I don’t know if it’s because of political convenience or this is where he always believed in. But here’s the thing, some issues are pretty fundamental. How do you flip-flop on something like the sanctity of life?” (Read more from “DeSantis: Trump Is Not Pro-Life — He Flip-Flopped on the Sanctity of Life” HERE)

New Documents Expose Jeffrey Epstein’s Sick Exploitation Network

/1 Comment/in , /by

A new batch of unsealed documents has shed further light on the disturbing extent of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of teenage girls and the intricate web of connections he used to exploit his victims. The release, which adds several hundred pages to the existing trove of information, details how the financier leveraged his associations with the rich, powerful, and famous to recruit vulnerable girls and conceal his heinous crimes.

The 19 documents, part of a lawsuit filed by one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Giuffre, against Ghislaine Maxwell, reveal a sordid pyramid of abuse that spanned three decades, ensnaring dozens of young girls and women. The records implicate Maxwell as Epstein’s former girlfriend, household manager, and chief recruiter, who played a crucial role in facilitating the exploitation.

Many of the documents recount the accounts of Epstein’s victims, high school students enticed with payments of $200 for illicit massages. The victims, some of whom aspired to be models or artists, described how Epstein dropped the names of his famous and influential friends, suggesting that associating with him was their ticket to achieving their dreams.

Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of sex-trafficking charges in 2022, was a central figure in Epstein’s criminal network. The documents, released years after the settlement of Giuffre’s lawsuit, expose fresh details about the intricate mechanisms employed by Epstein and Maxwell to perpetrate their crimes.

One victim, whose identity remains sealed, recounted her traumatic experience of being propositioned to Epstein’s house, where she was subjected to non-consensual acts. The documents also revealed a disturbing practice of paying kickbacks to girls who referred others to Epstein, creating a network of exploitation.

The release further implicated well-known figures who had socialized with Epstein, including Bill Clinton, singer Michael Jackson, and magician David Copperfield. Despite their associations, none of these men were accused of wrongdoing. However, the documents reiterated known stories about Britain’s Prince Andrew, who settled a lawsuit filed by Giuffre in 2022, denying the allegations against him.

The records also referenced Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent close to Epstein, who killed himself in a Paris jail in 2022 while awaiting trial on charges of raping underage girls.

Juanita Broaddrick Reacts to Epstein Document Release: ‘There Are Good Men…and Then There’s Bill Clinton’

/3 Comments/in , /by

Bill Clinton rape accuser Juanita Broaddrick reacted to the unsealing of U.S. court documents regarding individuals linked to the late convicted pedophile financier, Jeffrey Epstein, recalling what the former president allegedly said after allegedly raping her.

“After Bill Clinton viciously raped me, he said, ‘Don’t worry, I’m sterile due to mumps when I was a boy,’” Broaddrick claimed.

“Then he told me, ‘You’d better put some ice on that,’ pointing to my swollen and bleeding lip.’ There are good men…….and then there’s Bill Clinton,” she added:

Her remarks follow the unsealing of court documents detailing witness statements about people linked to the convicted sex offender. Clinton’s name is mentioned dozens of times.

The documents include the 2016 testimony of Johanna Sjoberg, whom Epstein recruited to work as a massage therapist. She reportedly told her lawyers that Epstein relayed to her that “Clinton likes them young, referring to girls,” but a spokesperson for Clinton has reportedly denied any wrongdoing from Clinton, asserting that he did not know about Epstein’s “terrible crimes.” (Read more from “Juanita Broaddrick Reacts to Epstein Document Release: ‘There Are Good Men…and Then There’s Bill Clinton’” HERE)

Explosive Testimony: Epstein Victim Alleges Bill Clinton ‘Likes Them Young,’ List of Names Released

/3 Comments/in , , /by

In a shocking revelation from newly released court documents, a victim of Jeffrey Epstein, Johanna Sjoberg, testified in May 2016 that the convicted pedophile informed her that former President Bill Clinton “likes them young.” The documents, made public on Wednesday night, highlight Sjoberg’s account of being recruited by Epstein to work as a massage therapist.

The Daily Mail noted that Sjoberg’s testimony from 2016 includes Epstein telling her that Clinton has a preference for young girls. The release of these documents has once again put Clinton in the spotlight, with his name mentioned as many as 50 times in the newly unsealed papers.

Ghislaine Maxwell denied hosting Clinton on Epstein’s Caribbean island in her 2016 deposition. Maxwell did acknowledge Clinton’s presence on Epstein’s private plane, famously known as the “Lolita Express.”

Maxwell refuted the allegation that Clinton had a meal on Epstein’s island, stating in her 2016 deposition, “The allegation that Clinton had a meal on Jeffrey’s island is 100 percent false. I’m sure he had a meal on Jeffrey’s plane.” The documents also reveal that Maxwell declined to specify if she had a “romantic” relationship with Doug Band, the lawyer who assisted Clinton in his post-presidency, but admitted to knowing him.

This latest revelation adds to the complex narrative surrounding Epstein, his associates, and their connections to influential figures. The court documents, part of Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit against Maxwell, include excerpts of depositions and motions. Maxwell was convicted in December 2021 on charges of sex trafficking, further shedding light on the extensive network of individuals associated with the disgraced financier.

Many of the names revealed in the unsealed court documents had previously been publicly identified as Epstein’s associates. Some of the high-profile names released in the court documents also include Michael Jackson, Prince Andrew, and David Copperfield.

Huh? Mayorkas Blames Border Crossings on ‘Climate Change’ (VIDEO)

/5 Comments/in , /by

2023 saw record-breaking numbers of illegal migrants entering the United States as President Joe Biden continues to roll out the red carpet for border crossers who take advantage of the senile president’s policies.

During an interview with MSNBC, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was asked why more illegal aliens entered the U.S. than in any other month in the history of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

In response, Mayorkas blamed so-called “climate change” on the historic border crossings instead of the president’s open border policies and refusal to secure the U.S.

The Biden official also fired shots at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R-TX) “remarkable failure of governance” relating to the ongoing border crisis. Abbott has been transporting illegal aliens to Democrat-run “sanctuary cities” across the nation as liberal leadership welcomes them with open arms.

“Let me identify one fundamental problem here,” Mayorkas said. “That is the fact that we have one governor, in the state of Texas, who is refusing to cooperate with other governors and other local officials to coordinate efforts to address a challenge that this county … is facing. And it’s a remarkable failure of governance to refuse to cooperate with fellow local and state officials.”
