Moderate Republicans Sound the Alarm on David Weiss’s Special Counsel Appointment

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans are seemingly unified in condemning U.S. prosecutor David Weiss’s appointment as a special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation, including several moderate members of the GOP conference.

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Weiss as special counsel in the “ongoing investigation” into Hunter Biden, “as well as for any other matters that arose or may arise from that investigation.”

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) said he hopes Weiss “gets to the truth,” but expressed concern with his appointment.

“I hope Special Counsel David Weiss informs Americans just how many millions of dollars Hunter Biden made on what his ex-partner called an “illusion” of access, and if the President financially benefited,” Bacon said. “How many LLCs were actually formed to mask where the money was sent? The President denied any involvement, but now we know he was on approximately 20 phone calls. I hope the Special Counsel gets to the truth.”

“At the same time, I’m concerned that Special Counsel Weiss previously recommended a sweetheart deal for Hunter that was rightfully rejected by the judge,” Bacon added. (Read more from “Moderate Republicans Sound the Alarm on David Weiss’s Special Counsel Appointment” HERE)

Nearly 120,000 Children, Young Adults Died From COVID Shots; Rand Paul on Fauci: No ‘Clearer Case of Perjury in the History of Government Testimony’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

By WND. A new report reveals that a secret Centers for Disease Control document confirms that nearly 120,000 children and young adults died “due to the COVID-19 vaccine’s dangerous side effects.”

That includes more than 78,000 excess deaths in that age group during 2021 after the shots were available, and governments started demanding people accept them, and the 39,000 plus in 2022.

It is Expose-News that said, “The CDC report should spark widespread outrage and be on the front page of every single major newspaper. But instead, it has been and will continue to be met with a deafening silence. Despite the staggering death toll the report will be buried and swept under the carpet.”

The report elaborated, “Compared to other countries, the U.S. government has been terrible at publishing relevant and up-to-date data allowing us to analyze the consequences of rolling out the COVID-19 injections. However, we have finally managed to stumble upon it thanks to an institution known as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OEC).” Read more from “Nearly 120,000 Children, Young Adults Died From COVID Shots” HERE)

Rand Paul on Fauci: No ‘Clearer Case of Perjury in the History of Government Testimony’

By Breitbart. Thursday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) explained his referral of Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution.

According to the Kentucky Republican, the former chief medical advisor lied under oath to Congress.

“I don’t think there has ever been a clearer case of perjury in the history of government testimony,” Paul declared. “And I don’t say that lightly. He said adamantly that the government never funded this gain of function research. We now have the government accountability office, the GAO has admitted that the funding cage from the NIH. We have the acting director of the NIH, [Lawrence] Tabak, admitting it in writing that it came from the NIH. But now we have really the smoking gun. That is Fauci in private saying the opposite of what he was saying in public.” (Read more from “Rand Paul on Fauci: No ‘Clearer Case of Perjury in the History of Government Testimony’” HERE)

Biden Makes Unexpected, Incredible Admission About His Inflation Reduction Act

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden admitted Thursday that Democrats’ signature Inflation Reduction Act wasn’t as much about actually reducing the then-record-high inflation facing the nation as he originally touted to the American people.

“I wish I hadn’t called it that. It has less to do with reducing inflation than it does providing for alternatives that generate economic growth,” Biden said during an appearance at a campaign fundraiser in Park City, Utah according to the press pool report.

“And so, we’re now in a situation where if you take a look at what we’re doing in the Inflation Reduction Act, we’re literally reducing the cost of people being able to make their — meet their basic needs,” Biden said.

“Even when there is inflation there is a way to provide breathing room,” he added, citing negotiating medical prices as one example.

Biden’s comments are a sharp turn from what he said in July 2022 ahead of the Inflation Reduction Act’s passage through Congress on a party line vote. (Read more from “Biden Makes Unexpected, Incredible Admission About His Inflation Reduction Act” HERE)

Trump Supporter Killed in FBI Raid Was a ‘Teddy Bear’ Who Cared for Blind Son but the ‘Type to Sleep With Gun Under His Pillow’: Neighbor

/0 Comments/in , /by

Neighbors described the man shot in an FBI raid on his home in Utah after he made threats to assassinate the president as a “decent guy” who cared for his blind son but was the “type to sleep with a gun under his pillow”.

Craig Robertson, 75, allegedly pointed a gun at law enforcement during the incident Wednesday which led to what locals described as a ‘hail of bullets’ at the home in Provo.

Robertson was then dragged out of the house and bled out on the sidewalk outside his home covered under a sheet, according to local reports.

“I just can’t believe that this man warranted that kind of response,” Travis Clark, who lived on the same street as Robertson, told the Deseret News.

Others were shocked by the huge police response to the home of the 300-pound Air Force veteran turned carpenter, who walked around with a cane as he was barely mobile, according to people who knew him.

Table for Greed: Inside the Secret Restaurant Lair Where Joe Biden Met Hunter’s Cronies

/0 Comments/in , /by

After a half-century working in the “swamp,” Joe Biden knows how to play hide-and-seek.

So when the then vice-president of the United States had clandestine dinner meetings with some of his troubled son Hunter’s cronies, he did so in a very private room at his favorite Washington, DC, restaurant, Café Milano.

According to records found on Hunter Biden’s laptop, a dinner with Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, took place in the restaurant’s Garden Room in April of 2015.

The Bidens are also said to have met with Kazakh oligarch Kenes Rakishev and former Kazakhstan prime minister Karim Massimov at Milano.

A source told The Post that Biden, who usually eats at Table 100, has also used the pricey Italian eatery’s private Wine Room on the second floor. (Read more from “Table for Greed: Inside the Secret Restaurant Lair Where Joe Biden Met Hunter’s Cronies” HERE)

Biden’s $40 Billion Emergency Spending Request Gives $13 Billion More in Military Aid to Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden asked Congress on Thursday for $40 billion in emergency spending through the end of this year, including $24 billion more for Ukraine — funding that would sidestep recently enacted budget caps and set up a clash with Republicans over more aid for Kyiv’s war against Russia.

The proposed Ukraine aid includes $13.1 billion for military assistance and replenishing Defense Department stockpiles depleted by the war effort. Also proposed is $200 million to counter the “destabilizing” impact of the Wagner Group, whose thousands of mercenaries have been a key part of Russia’s ground war.

The president requested another $4 billion for enforcement at the southern U.S. border, although administration officials say Mr. Biden’s border plan works. A $12 billion request for disaster relief includes extended pay for firefighters battling wildfires.

The U.S. has spent roughly $100 billion on the war in Eastern Europe, and polls show eroding American support for the growing overseas commitment of taxpayer dollars.

“The administration is requesting supplemental security, economic and humanitarian assistance funding that would support Ukraine as well as countries and vulnerable populations worldwide impacted by Russia’s unprovoked and brutal invasion of Ukraine,” White House Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda D. Young told House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in a letter Thursday. (Read more from “Biden’s $40 Billion Emergency Spending Request Gives $13 Billion More in Military Aid to Ukraine” HERE)

Jack Smith Wants Trump Trial to Start Jan. 2, 2024 — Right Before Iowa Caucuses

/0 Comments/in , /by

Special Counsel Jack Smith told a federal court in Washington, D.C., on Thursday that prosecutors want to start the trial of former President Donald Trump on January 2, 2024, right before the Iowa caucuses launch the Republican presidential primary.

Fox News reported:

Special Counsel Jack Smith proposed to begin former President Donald Trump’s trial in January 2024 for the charges he’s facing in relation to the events of Jan. 6, 2021.

“The Government proposes that trial begin on January 2, 2024, and estimates that its case in chief will take no longer than four to six weeks,” the filing on Thursday states.

As Breitbart News has noted, Trump faces four charges related to his challenges to the 2020 election result, and the resulting riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. One of the four charges carries a potential death penalty if Trump were to be convicted. (Read more from “Jack Smith Wants Trump Trial to Start Jan. 2, 2024 — Right Before Iowa Caucuses” HERE)

FDA Approved 65 Percent of New Drugs in 2022 Based on a Single Study

/0 Comments/in , /by

The 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act), signed into law in December 2016, was created to help accelerate medical product development and “bring new innovations and advances” to patients quicker and more efficiently. Yet some researchers suggest the law is being used to bypass the once rigorous and evidenced-based standards for new drug approvals, allowing novel drugs to flood the market without adequate data and public transparency.

According to a research letter published on August 8 in the Journal of the American Medical Association Network Open (JAMA), 24 of the 37 drugs approved in 2022 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were based on a single study, with only four drugs having more than three studies to support their approval. . .

According to the research letter, most of the 413 studies evaluating the 37 drugs approved in 2022 were sponsored by the industry—meaning they were manufactured, funded, and analyzed by the company producing the product, seeking FDA approval, and standing to benefit financially from the drug.

Of the studies available for analysis, only 25 percent of study results have been made publicly available, with the results of six percent of those studies published after the FDA had already approved the drug for use.

Furthermore, researchers found that only 55 percent of studies evaluating drugs in 2022 consisted of randomized clinical trials—the “gold standard” of evidence-based medicine—despite the FDA justifying most approvals based on randomized clinical trial data.

Biden Says He’s Traveled ‘Tens of Thousands of Miles’ Across War Zones

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden claimed Thursday that he traveled “tens of thousands of miles” in war zones while speaking to veterans in Utah.

Biden made the comments during a three-day trip to Arizona, New Mexico and Utah to tout his policy accomplishments, during which he signed an order declaring a national monument around the Grand Canyon Tuesday, barring new uranium mining projects. “There is no difference between having a mental health problem and breaking your arm or your leg,” Biden said.

“No difference. And you should not be worried about, asking for help, any more than you would if you broke your leg. There‘s nothing to be ashamed of in seeking that help,” Biden continued. “Think about this: I don‘t know how many in my tens of thousands of miles that I‘ve traveled through war zones, I don‘t know anybody who would not wonder whether or not what these veterans have seen cause post-traumatic stress — its enormous. It‘s an enormous problem.” (Read more from “Biden Says He’s Traveled ‘Tens of Thousands of Miles’ Across War Zones” HERE)

Biden Admin’s New Climate Rule Would Cause Rolling Blackouts in Huge Swath of America, Analysis Finds

/0 Comments/in , /by

Proposed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules regulating carbon dioxide emissions for power plants would lead to blackouts in a large slice of the Midwest and impose costs of nearly $250 billion, according to new analysis by the Center of the American Experiment (CAE).

The EPA’s proposed regulations would require fossil fuel-fired power plants to adopt developing technologies, such as carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) and hydrogen blending, in order to significantly bring down their greenhouse gas emissions over the coming decades. CAE filed comments this week in response to the EPA’s proposals, highlighting in its analysis that the EPA has overestimated the efficacy of wind and solar while exposing the 45 million people living in the area served by the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) power grid to elevated blackout risks.

The EPA “does not appear to have the expertise necessary to enact such a sweeping regulation on the American power sector,” CAE wrote in its comments.

CAE’s analysis found that the EPA’s modeled MISO grid could result in massive blackouts across the 15 states it serves, with one stress test scenario estimating that nearly one in five MISO-served households would be without power. Additionally, CAE calculated that building up enough capacity to avoid its projected blackouts in the MISO region would cost $246 billion in total by 2055.
