Dem Governor Praises Nikki Haley for Helping Democrats Make the Case Against Trump

/6 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has become one of the “better surrogates” for Democrats in 2024, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday.

Haley, who is Donald Trump’s last remaining GOP primary rival, has attacked the former president throughout the race, arguing that the 77-year-old is too old to serve another term White House and warning that his “chaos” will hurt Republican chances at the ballot boxes in November.

“I think she’s one of our better surrogates, so I hope she stays in [the GOP primary race],” Newsom, 56, told CNN host Jake Tapper, arguing that her criticisms of the former president are “spot on.”

“I hope she does well tomorrow — at least, well enough,” the Golden State governor added, referring to Saturday’s South Carolina GOP primary, where Haley – the state’s former governor – trails Trump by more than 23 points, according to a RealClearPolitics average of polls.

“I’m enjoying this primary. And I hope it continues, so I wish her luck,” Newsom added. (Read more from “Dem Governor Praises Nikki Haley for Helping Democrats Make the Case Against Trump” HERE)

Microsoft Brags That It Pays White Employees Less Than Non-White Employees Despite ‘Same Job Title’

/7 Comments/in , /by

Microsoft bragged that it pays its white employees less than non-white employees who are employed in similar roles in a diversity report touting the company’s “pay equity” agenda.

The admission came from the tech giant’s 2023 Diversity and Inclusion Report, which outlines the company’s loyalty to the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda.

“All racial and ethnic minority groups who are rewards eligible combined earn $1.007 total pay for every $1.000 earned by US rewards-eligible white employees with the same job title and level and considering tenure,” the Microsoft report, first reported on X, brags.

It goes on to add that “US Black and African American employees earn $1.004 and Asian employees earn $1.012 for every $1.000 earned by U.S. rewards-eligible white employees with the same job title and level and considering tenure.”

“This pay equity data represents total pay,” the report clarifies. “Our total pay analysis considers base, annual bonus, and stock awards at the time of annual rewards for rewards- eligible employees.”

Microsoft also boasted that it has successfully pushed far-left ideology on its employees, with one passage reading, “As a cornerstone of our growth mindset approach to D&I, we consider understanding how to be effective allies key to activating a culture of inclusion.” The report went on to add, “This year, 96.4% of employees reported some level of awareness of the concept of allyship.” (Read more from “Microsoft Brags That It Pays White Employees Less Than Non-White Employees Despite ‘Same Job Title’” HERE)

Reporter Roasted After Claiming Only ‘Extremist’ Christian Nationalists Think Rights ‘Come From God’

/4 Comments/in , /by

Politico national investigative correspondent Heidi Przybyla got roasted on social media Friday for saying Christian nationalists in power believe Americans’ rights “come from God.”

Przybyla said an “extremist element” of Christian nationalists in former President Donald Trump’s orbit are united in the belief that rights “come from God” rather than government and cite this belief to justify their opposition to abortion, gay marriage and in vitro fertilization (IVF), among other issues.

“And the one thing that unites all of them — because there’s many different groups orbiting Trump — but the thing that unties them as Christian nationalists — not Christians, by the way, because Christian nationalists is very different — is that they believe that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don’t come from any earthly authority. They don’t come from Congress. They don’t come from the Supreme Court. They come from God,” Przybyla said during her appearance on MSNBC’s “All In With Chris Hayes.”

“The problem is that … men — and it is men — are determining what God is telling them,” she added.

Wade Miller, the executive director for Citizens for Renewing America, tweeted that Przybyla had shown “disdain” for Christians.

GOP Rep.: U.S. is Allowing Hostile Countries to ‘Brainwash’ Next Generation

/9 Comments/in , /by

Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York said that the United States is allowing hostile foreign countries to “brainwash” college students.

Stefanik told WMAL talk show host and Daily Caller Editorial Director Vince Coglianese that while her questioning of then-Harvard President Claudine Gay about anti-Semitism on campus garnered headlines, there was another matter that didn’t get attention. Gay announced she would resign her position as president of Harvard University following multiple allegations of plagiarism and fallout from her testimony.

“We’re allowing our adversaries to spew their propaganda and attempt to brainwash our next generation of students when it comes to what we’re seeing in the rise of antisemitism on campuses,” Stefanik told Coglianese. “I’m very concerned of Qatar money going into Middle Eastern studies departments, and one of the questions I asked the president of Harvard, now former president, that did not get as much media coverage but was very, very important, is account for your foreign dollars, how much.”

“She would not answer the question,” Stefanik said. . .

“House Republicans passed a bill called the Deterrent Act, which lowers the threshold to $50,000 for any foreign contribution they have to make that publicly available,” Stefanik continued. “So there needs to be accountability and transparency, it’s is very common sense.” (Read more from “Reporter Roasted After Claiming Only ‘Extremist’ Christian Nationalists Think Rights ‘Come From God'” HERE)

Nancy Pelosi’s Massive Stock Trade Paycheck Raises Concerns

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) hit the jack of all trades this week when she cashed in on a massive payout regarding her controversial stock trades.

In just the span of 92 short days, Pelosi made ten years’ worth of salary through her investment in NVIDIA (NVDA).

Her NVIDIA stock investment soared to a profit of about $1,800,000. Compare that to her annual salary of $175,000 as a political monster.

Over the years, the timing of Pelosi’s stock trades has raised eyebrows, suggesting that her political influence could have scored her insider knowledge.

In 2023, the Democrat saw a 65 percent return on her investments, outweighing the S&P 500’s overall 24 percent gain. Soon after, her fellow party members called for the banning of stock trades by members of Congress.

Illegal Alien Accused of Killing Cop Files Lawsuit Claiming ‘Disability’ Over Not Speaking English

/0 Comments/in , /by

An illegal alien who is accused of killing a police officer has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit after suddenly claiming he has a “disability.” . . .

Illegal migrant Virgilio Aguilar-Mendez is playing the victim card and claiming that his inability to speak English should be considered a disability and a reason for the justice system to take it easy on him despite killing an officer.

The 19-year-old illegal Guatemalan was arrested in May 2023 after allegedly causing the tragic death of St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Michael Kunovich. He was charged with resisting an officer with violence and manslaughter.

As the officer was trying to pat Aguilar-Mendez down, he attempted to flee. Soon after, several officers arrived to help assist the arrest. As Aguilar-Mendez continued to resist, Kunovich tackled the illegal migrant to the ground, struggling to contain him. Aguilar Mendez attempted to take the officer’s taser from his belt.

The struggle lasted for more than six minutes. After other officers handcuffed Aguilar Mendez, Kunovich collapsed and fell to the ground. First responders tried to save his life, but he was pronounced dead shortly after being rushed to a nearby hospital.

Insanity: Joe Biden Oversees 7.2m Illegal Aliens at Southern Border, Equivalent to 2 Years of U.S. Births

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden has overseen a record-breaking level of illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border — a large portion of which is being released directly into American towns and cities.

From February 2021 through January 2024, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data shows that more than 7.2 million illegal aliens have arrived at the nation’s porous southern border.

Thus far in Fiscal Year 2024, with only four full months completed, nearly a million illegal aliens have crossed the southern border. In Fiscal Year 2022, Biden broke records by overseeing close to 2.37 million illegal aliens at the border, and he shattered that record the following fiscal year when 2.47 million arrived.

For perspective, about 3.6 million Americans are born each year. Thus, two years of American births are equivalent to the total number of illegal border crossings Biden has overseen.

This year, the nation’s foreign-born population is expected to hit 50 million thanks, in part, to Biden’s policies regarding illegal immigration, as well as legal immigration levels that import more than a million legal immigrants annually to the U.S. (Read more from “Insanity: Joe Biden Oversees 7.2m Illegal Aliens at Southern Border, Equivalent to 2 Years of U.S. Births” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this week vowed to sign a bill passed by the Florida legislature which would permit the release of documents related to the Florida case of the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The Florida Senate passed Senate Bill 234, which allows for the release of testimony and evidence from the grand jury investigation in 2006.

The bill reads in part:

An act relating to disclosure of grand jury testimony; amending s. 905.27, F.S.; revising the list of persons prohibited from disclosing the testimony of a witness examined before, or the evidence received by, a grand jury; creating an exception for a request by the media or an interested person to the prohibited publishing, broadcasting, disclosing, divulging, or communicating of any testimony of a witness examined before the grand jury, or the content, gist, or import thereof; providing criminal penalties; providing construction; making technical changes; reenacting s. 905.17(1) and (2), F.S., relating to who may be present during a session of a grand jury, to incorporate the amendment made to s. 905.27, F.S., in references thereto; 16 providing an effective date.

The House version of the bill passed earlier this month, and DeSantis announced this week that he will, indeed, sign it. (Read more from “Ron DeSantis Vows to Sign Bill Permitting Release of Epstein Documents” HERE)

Cyberattack on Healthcare Tech Giant Sparks Nationwide Pharmacy Delays

/0 Comments/in , /by

A cyberattack targeting the prominent healthcare tech giant Change Healthcare has triggered widespread disruptions in pharmacies across the United States. The leading prescription processor announced that it was “experiencing a network interruption related to a cyber security issue,” prompting immediate action to safeguard partners and patients by disconnecting its systems.

The extent and specific nature of the cyberattack have not been disclosed by Change Healthcare, leaving pharmacies grappling with outages and delays. According to reports from the Huron Daily Tribune, healthcare provider Scheurer Health in Michigan faced prescription processing challenges at all its family pharmacy locations.

The impact extended to McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas, where the 22nd Medical Group reported a temporary pharmacy outage. Despite acknowledging the inconvenience caused, the medical group assured patients that its team was diligently working to resolve the issue, with an estimated resolution by the following day or later. While the pharmacy remained open, new prescriptions could not be processed due to an “unexpected enterprise-wide MHS GENESIS downtime.”

Canadian Lakes Pharmacy in Michigan also fell victim to the nationwide outage caused by the cyberattack on major prescription processors in North America. The pharmacy acknowledged the ongoing issue, affecting numerous pharmacies since the previous day.

Change Healthcare, being one of the largest healthcare technology companies in the United States, handles orders and patient payments nationwide. The company’s proactive measures, disconnecting its systems to prevent further impact, indicate the severity of the cyber threat.
