School Archery, Hunting Programs Blocked by Biden Admin From Receiving Federal Funding

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration’s Education Department is blocking school archery and hunting programs from receiving federal funding, Fox News Digital reported.

Last year, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 was amended to prevent federal school funding from being used to provide “training in the use of a dangerous weapon.” The amendment, included in gun control legislation passed and signed into law in June 2022, aimed to “promote safer, more inclusive and positive school environments for all students, educators, and school staff,” the Education Department stated in a press release.

The legislation, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, passed the House in a 234-193 vote and the Senate in a 65-33 vote, with many Republicans crossing party lines to support the measure following mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas.

Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina penned a letter to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona this month stating that they believe the Department of Education is misinterpreting the BSCA provision regarding school funding. The senators noted that it was intended to prevent education funds from being used for school resource officer training, which is funded under a different provision.

“We were alarmed to learn recently that the Department of Education has misinterpreted the BCSA to require the defunding of certain longstanding educational and enrichment programs — specifically, archery and hunter education classes — for thousands of children, who rely on these programs to develop life skills, learn firearm safety and build self-esteem,” the senators wrote.

Trump Predicts New Indictment ‘Any Day Now’ to Distract From Hunter Biden’s Legal Saga

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump is bracing for an imminent fresh indictment and he claims the impending legal action will be a charade to obscure bad news for President Biden.

Trump bemoaned the supposed indictment in a post on Truth Social as Special Counsel Jack Smith mulls potential charges against him for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and coinciding efforts to undermine the 2020 election.

“I assume that an Indictment from Deranged Jack Smith and his highly partisan gang of Thugs, pertaining to my ‘PEACEFULLY & TPATRIOTICALLY Speech [sic], will be coming out any day now, as yet another attempt to cover up all of the bad news about bribes, payoffs, and extortion, coming from the Biden ‘camp,’” Trump bemoaned in a Truth Social post.

Trump’s premonition coincides with closed-door testimony before the House Oversight Committee from Hunter Biden’s business partner Devon Archer who alleged the then-vice president was put on speakerphone for the first son’s business partners on roughly 20 occasions.

Trump on Impeaching Biden: ‘This Guy Has Stolen Millions of Dollars’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump, the leading Republican candidate for president in 2024, told Breitbart News exclusively that while he is not explicitly publicly calling for his successor, Democrat President Joe Biden’s, impeachment, he hopes Congress does the “proper thing.” . . .

“They impeached me over a perfect phone call,” Trump said. “This guy has stolen millions of dollars and done worse than that—look at what he’s done to the country with the inflation, with the energy, with taking away people’s rights, with the weaponized DOJ. No, they impeached me over a perfect phone call. Here’s a guy who has stolen millions of dollars and done other things that are so bad. Our country is in a position where it’s just so sad to see what’s happening.”

Asked whether he wants to see an impeachment inquiry against Biden proceed, Trump demurred, saying he did not wish to comment on it—but that he does hope Congress does the “proper thing,” thereby strongly suggesting he would back such a push. Even so, Trump made it clear he wants to let Republicans in Congress make their own decision on this front.

Dr. Anthony Fauci Is Caught in His Biggest COVID Lie Yet

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has announced a criminal referral of Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Department of Justice over his apparent lying during congressional testimony in 2021.

Fauci insisted repeatedly that the National Institutes of Health had never funded any gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Paul contended at the time, in arguing with Fauci, that the research done on viruses at WIV — which got US funding — matched the NIH’s own description of gain-of-function research and accused Fauci of playing word games. . .

A newly surfaced February 2020 email about a COVID task-force call between him, his associates and UK science big Dr. Jeremy Farrar shows Fauci not only using the term “gain-of-function” to describe the work at Wuhan, but highlighting serious misgivings about the virus being of natural origin.

So not only does it look like Fauci was at the very least obfuscating during the 2021 testimony; it shows that he and other senior scientists (including then-NIH head Francis Collins, who was on the call) also took the lab-leak origin theory of COVID seriously.

House GOP Probes Justice Department Over Bungled Plea Deal With Hunter Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans launched an investigation Monday into how the Justice Department bungled a plea deal with Hunter Biden so badly that a judge sent them back for a mulligan.

The committees conducting the probe said several parts of the agreement were “atypical,” to the point where the federal prosecutor who led the defense had to admit under questioning that there was no precedent for this kind of arrangement.

Among the aberrations were one provision that ruled out future prosecutions on other crimes beyond the scope of the current case, and another provision that limited the government’s ability to prosecute Mr. Biden should he violate the terms of the deal.

The committee chairmen, in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, demanded to know how the bizarre arrangement was reached and whether it was the Justice Department or Mr. Biden‘s lawyers that first suggested the unusual arrangement.

“The Department’s unusual plea and pretrial diversion agreements with Mr. Biden raise serious concerns — especially when combined with recent whistleblower allegations — that the Department has provided preferential treatment toward President Biden‘s son in the course of its investigation and proposed resolution of his alleged criminal conduct,” wrote Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith and Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer.

Four Killed in Separate Crashes at Air Show, Including Super Bowl Champ’s Daughter

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Four people were killed Saturday in two separate crashes at an AirVenture airshow in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Daughter of two-time Super Bowl-winning offensive lineman Bruce Collie, Devyn Reiley, 30, and her co-pilot Zach Colliemoreno, 20, were flying a T-6 Texan, which crashed five minutes after take-off, according to the New York Post. The World War II plane fell from the sky, where it had reached 3,900 feet, and into Lake Winnebago around 9 a.m.

“I thought they were doing a trick at first,” witness Brayden Hiebing, who was fishing in the lake at the time, told NBC News. “I heard the plane start coming out of the sky, and it started like spinning and all of a sudden it just made a big splash.”

The Winnebago County Marine Units with Dive Rescue/Recovery Team members, along with the Oshkosh Fire Department, Winneconne Fire Department, Neenah Menasha Fire Rescue, Calumet County Sheriff’s Office, Wisconsin DNR, U.S. Coast Guard, and the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary responded to the crash, according to the Experimental Aircraft Association. Reiley and Colliemoreno’s bodies were recovered from the lake later that evening. (Read more from “Four Killed in Separate Crashes at Air Show, Including Super Bowl Champ’s Daughter” HERE)

US General Dies in Plane Crash

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A U.S. general died in a plane crash near Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland on July 25, Defense News reported Friday.

Maj. Gen. Anthony Potts, 59, a longtime Army acquisitions officer and aviator, was the only person on board the single-engine Piper PA-28 when it went down in a field and died at the scene, Defense News reported, citing the Harford County Sheriff’s Office and local media reports. Potts, who boasted nearly four decades of service and most recently led the Army’s Program Executive Office Command, Control and Communications-Tactical, or PEO C3T, had planned to retire soon, according to the outlet.

“It is with deep regret that we inform you of the death of Maj. Gen. Anthony W. Potts who passed away on July 25, 2023,” U.S. Army spokesperson Lt. Col. Ruth Castro confirmed in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“The entire U.S. Army is grateful for his service, and we extend our deepest and most sincere condolences to the entire Potts family,” she added.

Boom: Up to 60% Of Americans Could Own Guns, Twice Estimate

/0 Comments/in , /by

A surge in “quiet gun owners,” much like the so-called “silent majority” in political circles, is leading firearms analysts to believe that far more Americans own weapons than the accepted 30% cited in polls.

At the highest end, it’s possible that up to 60% of Americans own guns, especially with the pandemic-era rise in gun buying among women and minorities, especially in suburban and urban areas.

At the lowest end, it’s likely that at least 40% of Americans own guns, according to a groundbreaking study of those who lie to pollsters about firearms.

The study from Rutgers University’s New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center is spreading like wildfire in the industry, which for years has tried to accurately estimate United States gun ownership and determine why polls show support for gun control, but then there is little follow through when legislation is proposed.

Reason Magazine’s J.D. Tuccille put part of the study in the spotlight in an early July post that began the buzz in the gun industry about the potential of far higher U.S. gun ownership. (Read more from “Boom: Up to 60% Of Americans Could Own Guns, Twice Estimate” HERE)

Trump Denies Trying To Delete Mar-a-Lago Security Tapes

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump denied deleting security footage from his Mar-a-Lago residence or ordering anyone to delete the tapes, days after Special Counsel Jack Smith hit him with additional charges related to his handling of classified documents.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed that security footage from his Mar-a-Lago home had not been deleted and had been handed over to the federal government. Smith rolled out with three additional charges against the former president on Thursday and charged a third person, Carlos De Oliveira, in the case related to Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents, according to a superseding indictment.

“MAR-A-LAGO SECURITY TAPES WERE NOT DELETED. THEY WERE VOLUNTARILY HANDED OVER TO THE THUGS, HEADED UP BY DERANGED JACK SMITH,” Trump wrote in his post in all caps.

Trump claimed in his post that nobody had gone “to court to stop them from getting these tapes,” adding that he never ordered “anybody to delete them.” (Read more from “Trump Denies Trying To Delete Mar-a-Lago Security Tapes” HERE)

China Planted Malware In Networks Supporting US Military Bases Worldwide, Officials Say

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration is hunting for malware believed to originate from Chinese attackers in critical infrastructure systems that support U.S. military bases worldwide, The New York Times reported Saturday, citing unspecified military, intelligence and national security officials.

U.S. officials and industry experts believe the malware discovered by Microsoft in U.S. networks affecting Guam and other strategic sites may be just one example in a larger Chinese operation to plant malicious code dating back at least a year, the NYT reported. One congressional official described the malware as a “ticking time bomb” Beijing could activate in the event of a conflict with the U.S. or an invasion of Taiwan, which could disrupt U.S. military operations and cripple its response.

China’s efforts to infect important networks are far more extensive than the experts realized at first, the NYT reported. Most experts spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, some of which are classified.

The affected networks control power grids, water supply and communications systems that support U.S. military operations but are connected to civilian systems, according to the NYT. (Read more from “China Planted Malware In Networks Supporting US Military Bases Worldwide, Officials Say” HERE)
