Tucker Reveals the Moment He Became an ‘Active Trump Supporter’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson revealed Thursday the moment he became an “active” supporter of former President Donald Trump during a new interview with Roseanne Barr.

Carlson said he has always agreed with Trumps’ policies but did not actively support any politician until the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, where they obtained over 300 classified documents.

“I certainly support Trump, I can tell you, well I’ve always agreed with Trump’s policies, always, and I’ve lost friends over it,” Carlson said. “And I’ve never really actively supported anybody because it’s not my job to actively support people, I like to watch, you know … but I became an active Trump supporter when they raided Mar-a-Lago last summer, the summer of 2022. That can’t stand.”

Carlson said he would “still be a Trump supporter” if he did not agree with him on most issues since the Justice Department should not be allowed to take down the Republican frontrunner. (Read more from “Tucker Reveals the Moment He Became an ‘Active Trump Supporter’” HERE)

‘Coming After You!’ DOJ Takes Targeting of Trump Supporters to Unnerving Level

/1 Comment/in , /by

. . .[Trump supporters] are called MAGA extremists, even terrorists. If they also protest abortion they’re targeted for SWAT-style FBI raids. If they challenge false COVID claims, they’re voices are suppressed on social media. If they doubt the 2020 election because of Democrat machinations with the law, they’re “insurrectionists.”

But now documents show that Jack Smith, the special counsel trying to make a case that Trump is a criminal for urging supporters to “peacefully” protest what they – and many others – viewed as a corrupt 2020 election, has taken the agenda against Trump’s supporters to the next step. He’s demanding access to their social media information.

As a commentary at The Gateway Pundit charged, “THEY’RE COMING AFTER YOU.”

It explained that the DOJ has demanded a “list of all [Twitter] users who retweeted, liked, or mentioned President Trump’s Twitter account.”

A report at The Federalist said a newly uncovered document shows a court ordered X to provide a ton of information about Trump’s account, “including ‘advertising information, including advertising IDs, ad activity, and ad topic preferences,’ as well as IP addresses ‘used to create, login, and use the account’ and privacy and account settings.” (Read more from “‘Coming After You!’ DOJ Takes Targeting of Trump Supporters to Unnerving Level” HERE)

Pope Francis Punishes Conservative Cardinal—the Second Action Taken Against Outspoken Critics in the US

/1 Comment/in , /by

Pope Francis took action against one of his biggest critics. This is the second time this month that Pope Francis has punished an American prelate.

Pope Francis punished Cardinal Raymond Burke, a 75-year-old canon lawyer from Wisconsin. Francis revoked Burke’s salary and his subsidized Vatican apartment.

Burke, like other cardinals in Rome, lived in his apartment for free and received a monthly stipend of about $5,500.

During a meeting on Nov. 20, Pope Francis informed the heads of Vatican offices that he was taking action against Burke because he was a source of “disunity” in the church, according to an anonymous participant.

Another unnamed source said Francis punished Burke because he was using the privileges against the church. (Read more from “Pope Francis Punishes Conservative Cardinal—the Second Action Taken Against Outspoken Critics in the US” HERE)

Dem Claims Republicans Refuse ‘To Accept the Results of the Civil War’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A leading Democrat, the new mayor of Chicago, is claiming that Republicans in America still refuse “to accept the results of the Civil War.”

It is Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson who recently unleashed a rant about “right-wing extremists.” . . .

And specifically, “It’s the same Republican right-wing extremism that stormed the Capitol, it’s the same right-wing extremism that refuses to accept the results of the Civil War. It’s raggedy. It’s disrespectful. It’s mean-spirited,” he charged.

Actually, History.com reports the GOP was founded in 1854 as a coalition opposing the extension of slavery into Western territories, and it fought to protect the rights of African Americans after the 1861-1864 war when Democrats were continuing their battles to keep blacks as second-class residents, much less citizens, by means including the founding of the KKK.

Report: Israel Had Hamas’s Battle Plan for a Year

/0 Comments/in , /by

The New York Times reported Thursday that Israel had Hamas’s battle plan for October 7 for a year, dubbing it the “Jericho Wall,” but that senior analysts concluded that Hamas did not have the desire or the capability to follow through on the blueprint.

The Times reported:

Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. But Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out.

…

The document circulated widely among Israeli military and intelligence leaders, but experts determined that an attack of that scale and ambition was beyond Hamas’s capabilities, according to documents and officials. It is unclear whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or other top political leaders saw the document, as well.
…

Officials privately concede that, had the military taken these warnings seriously and redirected significant reinforcements to the south, where Hamas attacked, Israel could have blunted the attacks or possibly even prevented them.

Israel’s military and intelligence chiefs have taken responsibility for the failure to stop the attack, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged that he will face a reckoning, but all have deferred questions about October 7 until after the war.

Joe Tries to Bidenboozle the Public on Inflation

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden’s increasingly brazen attempts to bamboozle the American public on economic matters have more than a whiff of desperation.

Biden complained in a speech on Monday that businesses were not reducing their prices even though inflation has declined. Those that were not cutting prices were engaged in “price gouging,” the president claimed.

“Let me be clear: To any corporation that has not brought their prices back down — even as inflation has come down, even supply chains have been rebuilt — it’s time to stop the price gouging — giving the American consumer a break,” Biden said.

When Biden says things that are so clearly wrong, the temptation is to write it off as one of his many rhetorical stumbles. When he referred to his Oval Office predecessor as “Congressman Trump” in a speech in Colorado yesterday, for example, few thought he genuinely believed that Donald Trump was serving in the House of Representatives. Neither did fair observers think he was trying to bamboozle the public into thinking Trump was a member of Congress, one of the few parts of government with lower approval ratings than Biden himself.

It just seemed like the lack of verbal acuity we’ve become accustomed to from Biden. He says a lot of things that do not make sense or are just plain wrong. But no one takes those things literally or seriously because that’s just the kind of thing we’ve come to expect after Biden says “let me be clear.” (Read more from “Joe Tries to Bidenboozle the Public on Inflation” HERE)

Surrender: Blinken Tells Israel It Lacks ‘Credit’ to Defeat Hamas

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Israel that it lacks “credit” to conduct the kind of military campaign necessary to defeat Hamas, saying that the Biden administration would not tolerate large-scale bombing over months in southern Gaza.

Blinken’s remarks were leaked to the Israeli press. The Times of Israel quoted a transcript of his meeting with Israel’s war cabinet:

Blinken: You can’t operate in southern Gaza in the way you did in the north. There are two million Palestinians there. You need to evacuate fewer people from their homes, be more accurate in the attacks, not hit UN facilities, and ensure that there are enough protected areas [for civilians]. And if not? Then not to attack where there is a civilian population. What is your system of operation?

IDF Chief Herzi Halevi: We follow a number of principles — proportionality, distinction, and the laws of war. There were instances where we attacked on the basis of those principles, and instances where we decided not to attack, because we waited for a better opportunity.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant: The entire Israeli society is united behind the goal of dismantling Hamas, even if it takes months.

Blinken: I don’t think you have the credit for that.

Study: Pandemic Lockdowns Linked to ‘Significant’ Memory and Cognitive Decline in Seniors

/0 Comments/in , /by

Amidst the ongoing discourse surrounding the mental health implications of pandemic-related lockdowns, a new study conducted by Dr. Anne Corbett and her team at the University of Exeter Medical School has brought attention to a concerning aspect—accelerated cognitive decline among seniors.

The study delved into neuropsychology data from 3,142 individuals, all aged 50 or over, who had been participating in a comprehensive dementia study in Britain spanning multiple decades. What makes this research particularly noteworthy is its examination of cognitive changes before, during, and after the pandemic, offering insights into the long-term effects of societal restrictions on the elderly.

The findings revealed a significant worsening of executive function and working memory across the entire cohort in the first year of the pandemic, with the average age of participants being 67.5. This decline persisted into the second year, painting a concerning picture of the lasting impact of pandemic-related measures on cognitive health.

The researchers pointed out a correlation between cognitive decline and specific lifestyle changes during the pandemic. Reduced exercise and increased drinking were notably associated with cognitive deterioration across the entire cohort. Moreover, depression, a recognized factor in cognitive decline, was prevalent among those who contracted COVID-19. Loneliness, exacerbated by the lockdowns, was identified as a particularly detrimental factor for individuals with mild cognitive impairment.

Notably, the study shed light on the role of the British government in these cognitive declines. The government, through the National Institute for Health and Care Research, not only limited citizens’ ability to exercise outdoors but also closed gyms, golf courses, sports courts, swimming pools, and indoor sports facilities—a move that the study suggests played a part in the observed cognitive decline.

“The scale of change is also of note, with all groups—the whole cohort and the individual subgroups—showing more than a 50% greater decline in working memory and executive function, and many effect sizes reaching a clinically significant threshold of greater than 0·3,” remarked the researchers.

Pro-Palestinian Protests Attempt to Derail Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Wednesday, hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters swarmed the streets surrounding Rockefeller Center, clashing with NYPD officers and attempting to derail the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in support of Gaza. The incident unfolded along Sixth Avenue, where ralliers, waving Palestinian flags and carrying signs calling for the “end to genocide,” gathered alongside tourists waiting for the iconic ceremony.

The protesters, chanting “river to the sea,” a slogan often criticized as antisemitic, aimed to disrupt the festivities in line with their plans announced earlier in the week. The demonstration coincided with the UN-recognized International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, adding a political dimension to the holiday tradition.

Despite NYPD’s efforts to maintain control, the situation escalated as protesters confronted officers, referring to them as “f–king Nazis.” Attempts were made to knock down barricades, and additional police units were called in as law enforcement sources reported attacks on officers. Some protesters were taken into custody, though specific charges remain unclear.

The crowd, unable to reach the NYC Christmas tree, redirected their protest around the News Corp building, housing The Post and Fox News, which had been targeted by pro-Palestinian protesters on previous occasions. One protester climbed on a pillar, and another displayed a sign bearing a swastika, comparing the Israel Defense Forces to German Nazis.

Tourists, eager to witness the annual tradition, expressed frustration at the disruption. Some condemned the protest as embarrassing, while others commended the NYPD for maintaining control despite verbal abuse.

The NYPD had anticipated potential disruptions, implementing a high-security presence for the Christmas tree lighting ceremony. Despite the chaos, the 91st annual ceremony proceeded without significant issues. The unusually rowdy protest dissipated after an hour, transitioning into a march through Manhattan towards Times Square, where protesters shouted, “Shut it down.”

Biden Administration Hopes for Extension of Israel-Hamas Ceasefire as Deadline Approaches

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration is hoping Israel and Hamas will agree to extend their ceasefire, which is set to expire in a matter of hours.

Israel and Hamas initially agreed to a four-day pause in fighting that would include the release of 50 hostages, held by Hamas or other Gaza-based terrorist groups since Oct. 7, in exchange for the release of three times as many Palestinians held in Israeli jails and a surge of humanitarian aid. They then agreed to extend the deal by two days, which is nearing its expiration.

United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is set to travel to Israel later this week, said Wednesday that the Biden administration is hoping for both sides to agree to another extension because it would mean the release of additional hostages.

“What it has enabled, first and foremost, is hostages being released, coming home, being reunited with their families,” Blinken said. “It’s also enabled us to surge humanitarian assistance into the people of Gaza who so desperately need it. So its continuation, by definition, means that more hostages would be coming home, more assistance would be getting in.”

Israeli officials indicated in the beginning of the ceasefire that they were willing to extend it one day for every 10 hostages Hamas agrees to release. Hamas and the other groups took roughly 240 people hostage during the terrorist attacks.
