Trump Says Alexei Navalny’s Death Made Him ‘More Aware of What Is Happening’ in U.S.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump addressed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s sudden death in a Truth Social post on Monday, saying that it has opened his eyes to “what is happening” in the U.S.

Navalny, a critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, died in a remote Russian prison on Friday after losing consciousness following a walk, according to Russian authorities. Navalny had been sentenced to prison in January 2021 after returning to Moscow from Germany, where he was undergoing treatment for poisoning from a nerve agent that he blamed on the Kremlin. . .

Trump’s statement — which made no mention of Putin — comes days after U.S. leaders, including President Joe Biden, blamed the Russian leader for Navalny’s death.

“Russian authorities are going to tell their own story. But make no mistake, make no mistake, Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death. Putin is responsible,” Biden said in a Friday press conference. “What has happened to Navalny is yet more proof of Putin’s brutality. No one should be fooled — not in Russia, not at home, not anywhere in the world — Putin does not only target citizens of other countries … He also inflicts terrible crimes of his own people.” (Read more from “Trump Says Alexei Navalny’s Death Made Him ‘More Aware of What Is Happening’ in U.S.” HERE)

Mother Allegedly Drives Over 7-Year-Old Son After Forcing Him to Walk Home as ‘Punishment’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a shocking incident in Alabama, a 27-year-old mother, Sarai Rachel James, is accused of driving over her seven-year-old son after forcing him to walk home from school as a punishment. The incident occurred on February 8, following reports of the child causing trouble at his school in Boaz, according to the New York Post.

Allegedly informed by the school’s principal about her son’s misbehavior, James decided to enact a severe punishment by instructing her son to walk or run home. The situation took a dark turn when she reportedly drove behind or alongside the boy for about eight blocks after making him get out of the vehicle.

As the child attempted to grab the door handle of the slow-moving car before reaching home, his mother accelerated, causing him to be dragged beneath the vehicle, according to Boaz Chief of Police Michael Abercrombie. The child sustained abrasions on his back and the side of his head during the incident.

Despite the severity of the situation, Chief Abercrombie suggested that the mother may not have been aware of her son’s attempt to grab the door handle, stating, “She may not have realized he was doing that.”

Following the incident, the child was transported to the University of Alabama hospital, where he received medical attention for his injuries. Chief Abercrombie noted, “God watched over him,” as the child survived the traumatic ordeal.

James was subsequently arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse. As a result, she is now prohibited from having contact with her son. Records show that she was released on a $50,000 bond three days after her arrest.

Additionally, a 53-year-old woman who was reportedly in the vehicle at the time of the incident is now facing a misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a child. She was released from jail on a $500 bond.

/0 Comments/in , /by

[John Schneider,] the actor known for his role in the 1979 TV show “Dukes of Hazzard” is being labeled a racist after comparing Beyoncé to a dog marking its territory when she put out two country-themed tracks this month.

“They’ve got to make their mark, just like a dog in a dog walk park. You know, every dog has to mark every tree, right? So that’s what’s going on here,” Schneider, 63, said while appearing on conservative media outlet One American News. . .

“The lefties in the entertainment industry just won’t leave any area alone, right? They just have to seize control over every aspect, don’t they,” asked the host.

According to Schneider, it’s usually the other way around with country stars attempting to break into mainstream music.

“I know a little something about country music,” Schneider — who has released several country albums — asserted.

Harvard Professor Published Study Finding No Racial Bias in Police Shootings, Then Needed Police Protection as ‘All Hell Broke Loose’

/2 Comments/in , /by

AHarvard professor published a study that found no evidence of racial bias in police shootings – then “all hell broke loose,” and he needed police protection.

In 2016, Harvard Economics Professor Roland Fryer published a study to explore racial differences in the use of force by police.

The study examined racial differences in non-lethal uses of force, such as “putting hands on civilians (which includes slapping or grabbing) or pushing individuals into a wall or onto the ground.” The study found that Hispanics are more than 50% more likely to have an interaction with police that involves any use of force than whites.

The study found that blacks are 21% more likely than whites to be involved in an interaction with police in which at least a weapon is drawn.

However, when it came to police-involved shootings, minorities were found to be less likely to be shot at by an officer. (Read more from “Harvard Professor Published Study Finding No Racial Bias in Police Shootings, Then Needed Police Protection as ‘All Hell Broke Loose’” HERE)

‘They Will Not Get away With It’: Trump Attorney Unloads After Stunning New York Fraud Verdict

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba slammed Judge Arthur Engoron and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Friday, following a stunning judgment against Trump in a controversial civil fraud case brought by James.

Engoron ordered Trump to pay more than $350 million, barred him from doing business in New York for three years, and fined his sons, Don Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, more than $4 million each.

“I think the biggest message I can give the American people tonight is that he’s not going to get away with it,” Habba said of Engoron on Fox News. “Letitia James is not going to get away with it; the Biden administration is not going to get away with it.”

Now that the trial was over and she felt “free to speak,” Habba made it clear that the legal team will “come at them,” “come hard,” and “will literally fight until the truth comes out.”

“They will not get away with it,” the attorney continued. “President Trump has done nothing wrong. All he has done is win a campaign, and that is scaring them because they know when he goes back in November 2024. He is going to clean house, and that is truly the problem. It’s not about Mar-a-Lago’s worth.” (Read more from “‘They Will Not Get away With It’: Trump Attorney Unloads After Stunning New York Fraud Verdict” HERE)

Alarming Surge: U.S. Military Sees 100-Fold Increase in Weight-Loss Drug Prescriptions

/0 Comments/in , /by

The number of U.S. military service members on weight-loss drugs have jumped nearly 100-fold since 2018, according to a recent analysis of Defense Department data.

On Thursday, Stars and Stripes, an independent military publication, reported on the study posted in the Medical Surveillance Monthly Report, a peer-reviewed journal for the armed forces. According to the latest report out in January, the prevalence of weight-loss drug prescriptions for U.S. military personnel skyrocketed from 1.2 per 100,000 service members in 2018 to 104.4 per 100,000 members in June 2023.

“Use of weight loss medications will likely continue to increase due to the ongoing obesity epidemic in the U.S.,” researchers noted, with obesity among the armed forces already on the rise. The prevalence of obesity jumped from just more than 16 percent among full-time active service members to nearly 19 percent in 2021. Roughly 67 percent of the U.S. adult population aged 18 and older were qualified as either obese or overweight in 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

The CDC estimates the Pentagon spends about $1.5 billion in obesity-related health costs and loses 658,000 work days due to it each year. In 2018, the Department of Defense authorized the use of four weight-loss drugs due to the crisis within the military’s ranks.

U.S. lockdowns accelerated the pace of weight gain with nearly 10,000 Army service members emerging obese, according to the Associated Press last spring. Military prescriptions for weight-loss drugs went from 7 in January 2018 to 816 in June 2023. Weight-loss injections such as semaglutide, which was included in the list of medications covered in 2021, can carry severe side effects, from kidney damage to stomach paralysis.

Nikki Haley Declines Commitment to Support Trump: Tensions Rise Between Candidates

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a recent appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” Republican presidential candidate and former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) stirred controversy by refusing to explicitly commit to supporting former President Donald Trump if he secures the GOP presidential nomination. This development comes as tensions escalate within the Republican party, with Haley openly expressing reservations about Trump’s suitability for office.

During the interview, ABC’s Jonathan Karl confronted Haley with her earlier pledge to support Trump if he won the Republican nomination. However, in light of recent events where Trump made controversial remarks about NATO and Russia, and Haley herself criticized him as “diminished, unhinged, unfit for office,” the commitment seems to be in question.

When pressed about whether she would back Trump if he emerged as the nominee, Haley replied, “I am running against him for a reason.” She emphasized that her focus is on the present race, expressing her belief that Trump is not the right person for the presidency.

Haley continued, stating that her primary concern is winning the nomination and correcting the issues facing America. She downplayed the importance of discussing potential support for Trump at this stage.

Jonathan Karl persisted, seeking clarity on whether Haley would support Trump if he became the Republican nominee. In response, Haley confidently asserted, “That means I’m going to run and I’m going to win. And y’all can talk about support later.”

As the GOP nomination race unfolds, Haley’s reluctance to offer a straightforward endorsement raises questions about the unity within the republican party as a result of its disdain towards Donald Trump.

Fani Willis’ Father Makes Eyebrow-Raising Claim in Defending His Daughter

/0 Comments/in , /by

The father of embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis took the stand Friday, testifying that he backs up her story about storing cash at home, listens avidly to conservative talk radio, and knew about COVID-19 well before most other Americans. . .

“Your Honor, I’m not trying to be racist, OK? But it’s a black thing,” John Floyd, Willis’ father and also a lawyer, explained to Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, the presiding judge. “I was trained, and most black folks hide cash and they keep cash.” . . .

In what turned out to be an unusual exchange, Merchant tried to determine Floyd’s whereabouts in 2019, and whether he might have been aware of his daughter’s relationship with Wade.

“Did you spend any time in 2019 in California?” Merchant asked Floyd.

“I did not. What happened was COVID. Once COVID hit, I was just paralyzed. I couldn’t go anyplace,” Floyd said.

“I may be wrong, but I believe COVID was in 2020. I’m talking about 2020. I was asking about 2019,” Merchant said. (Read more from “Fani Willis’ Father Makes Eyebrow-Raising Claim in Defending His Daughter” HERE)

‘Squad’ Congresswoman Urges Democrats to ‘Vote Uncommitted’ Against Joe Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib urged voters in her home state Saturday to “vote uncommitted” against President Joe Biden in the Feb. 27 presidential primary.

Tlaib released a video on social media calling for Michigan residents to avoid voting for the president as she expressed her discontent with the Biden administration’s handling of the conflict on the Gaza Strip.

“Right now, we feel completely neglected and just unseen by our government,” Tlaib said. “If you want us to be louder, then come here and vote uncommitted.”

Tlaib, who was the only member of Congress to not vote in favor of a resolution Wednesday condemning Hamas for the raping of civilians following its Oct. 7 attack on Israel. She told her constituents to “support life” and “stand up for every single life killed in Gaza.” She emphasized the importance of establishing a voting block against the president “to say enough is enough.” (Read more from “‘Squad’ Congresswoman Urges Democrats to ‘Vote Uncommitted’ Against Joe Biden” HERE)

Allegations of Cash-Fueled Romance Rock Trump Prosecutor Fani Willis: Prosecutor Reimbursed Her Lover Nathan Wade

/3 Comments/in , /by

Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis is facing serious allegations of reimbursing her lover and fellow Trump case prosecutor, Nathan Wade, with cash for extravagant vacations. The shocking revelation emerged during Wade’s testimony in a Georgia courtroom, where he claimed that expenses for their lavish getaways were initially covered by his business credit card.

The implications of these allegations are substantial, as Judge Scott McAfee expressed on Monday that disqualification from the case is a “possible” outcome if Willis is found to have engaged in an actual conflict of interest with her romantic partner and fellow prosecutor. Such a decision would hand former President Donald Trump a significant victory in the Georgia election interference case.

Trump, along with codefendant Mike Roman, has accused Willis and Wade of corruption on multiple fronts, according to Breitbart News:

Trump and codefendant Mike Roman accused Willis and Wade of corruption for:

1. Maintaining an improper romantic relationship

2. Enriching themselves through the taxpayer-funded prosecution

3. Meeting with Biden administration officials before indicting Trump and codefendants

Thursday’s revelations during Wade’s testimony seem to lend credibility to the accusations against Willis and contradict her previous claims. Wade disclosed that his relationship with Willis began in 2022, after Willis initiated the case against Trump in 2021. However, a former Fulton County District Attorney employee and friend of Willis, Robin Yeartie, contradicted Wade’s timeline, asserting that she was aware of their relationship since 2019.

Wade claimed that their relationship wasn’t a secret but rather “private.”
