Shock: America Turns Right, Conservatives Top Liberals 40%-26%

/0 Comments/in , /by

Despite the best efforts of the media and the White House to promote a liberal agenda on issues from abortion to gender change, America has turned back to being more conservative.

Gallup’s latest Values and Beliefs Survey said that conservatives top liberals on social policies and the economy, the two biggest topics America is grappling with.

“For most of the past eight years, Americans were about as likely to say they were liberal as conservative on social issues. This year, there is a more obvious conservative advantage,” said the nation’s biggest pollster on Thursday.

“The shift is mostly due to increasing social conservatism among Republicans, at a time when social issues such as transgender rights, abortion and other hot-button concerns are prominent in the national public debate,” explained Gallup of the conservative backlash.

In the poll, 38% said they were conservative on social issues, while 29% said they were liberal. A year ago, the split was even at 34%. Today, 31% claimed to be moderates. (Read more from “Shock: America Turns Right, Conservatives Top Liberals 40%-26%” HERE)

Tucker Carlson’s Twitter Show Surpasses 100 Million Views

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson’s first Twitter show surpassed 100 million views Thursday in less than two days since he posted it.

Carlson shared a 10-minute-long monologue on Twitter Tuesday night where he focused on the media’s Ukraine coverage and refusal to question narratives. His monologue immediately made him a trending topic on the platform and quickly surpassed Fox News’ ratings at the same time slot.

“Nobody knows what’s happening. A small group of people control accesses to all relevant information. And the rest of us don’t know. We’re allowed to yap all we want about racism, but go ahead and talk about something that really matters and see what happens. If you keep it up, they’ll make you be quiet. Trust us. That’s how they maintain control,” Carlson told viewers.

He teased more Twitter broadcasts to come if the platform maintains its commitment to free speech under owner Elon Musk and new CEO Linda Yaccarino. (Read more from “Tucker Carlson’s Twitter Show Surpasses 100 Million Views” HERE)

Biden Surgeon General Pressed On Govt-Funded Transgender Study Where Two Participants Committed Suicide

/0 Comments/in , /by

North Carolina Republican Sen. Ted Budd pressed the Surgeon General of the United States, Vivek Murthy, during a Senate HELP Committee hearing Thursday over a study on transgender health that resulted in two suicides.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded a study on the impacts of two years of cross-sex hormones on adolescent mental health. Depression and anxiety decreased slightly over the course of the examination, and the study was touted as strong evidence in support of offering sex changes to minors. But two participants committed suicide during the study, along with 11 who developed suicidal ideation.

Budd, along with Sens. Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and others, sent a letter to the NIH asking why taxpayer money was used to fund a study that resulted in patient suicides.

“It is sickening that the federal government is preying on young people and using our taxpayer dollars to advance its radical gender ideology. We are rightfully demanding answers from NIH and we are committed to holding those responsible accountable for this tragic loss of life,” Oklahoma Republican Rep. Josh Brecheen, another co-signer, wrote in a statement. (Read more from “Biden Surgeon General Pressed On Govt-Funded Transgender Study Where Two Participants Committed Suicide” HERE)

In a tweet Thursday, the CIA said Pride Month is a time to recognize the agency’s “rich history” of “LGBTQ+ officers” and their work. . .

Poll: Support for Gender Binary Increases in America

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new poll released by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) reveals that an increasing majority of Americans support the idea that there are only two genders.

The poll asked more than 5,400 Americans to give their opinions on the gender binary, relationships with “LGBTQ people,” and the role of public schools in teaching sex and gender identity. The poll focused on different ethnic and religious groups in the U.S., breaking down the results by generation.

PPRI found that 65% of Americans, up from 59% in 2021, say there are only two genders: male and female. These views are highly salient, as 50% of Americans “feel strongly” that there are two genders, while 15% believe there are two genders but do not feel strongly about it. Only 14% of Americans believe strongly that there are more than two genders.

The poll revealed sharp partisan differences. 90% of Republicans support the gender binary, with 80% feeling strongly about it. 44% of Democrats agree, up from 38% in 2021. 66% of independents also believe in two genders, up from 60%.

Support for the traditional view on gender increased or remained constant in every polled demographic. The most dramatic increases were in “Other Protestants of Color” (increase from 52% to 73%), Hispanic Catholics (48% to 66%), and “Other non-Christian religion” (42% to 55%). White evangelicals had the highest support (92%), while Jewish Americans had the lowest (44%), even lower than the unaffiliated (46%).

GOP Lawmakers Blast Biden for ‘Weaponization’ of DOJ After Trump Federal Indictment

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican lawmakers blasted President Biden over the “weaponization” of the federal government after it was revealed Thursday night the Justice Department charged former President Donald Trump over his handling of classified documents.

Trump’s most formidable opponent in the 2024 GOP presidential primary, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, even decried the unprecedented indictment that marks the first time in US history a former president has faced federal charges.

“The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society,” DeSantis wrote on Twitter.

“We have for years witnessed an uneven application of the law depending upon political affiliation. Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter?” the Florida governor wrote.

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said it was a “dark day” for the country and noted that Trump’s being charged over the classified material found in his Mar-a-Lago estate — even though Biden has been under a similar investigation after classified documents were recovered at his Delaware home.

MTG Shares ‘Shocking’ Details After Viewing Biden Bribery Document

/0 Comments/in , /by

After the FBI caved for the second time in as many weeks and agreed to allow all members of the House Oversight Committee to view the unclassified report detailing allegations that then-Vice President Joe Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shared more “shocking” details she said were contained in the FBI’s FD-1023 report.

Greene explained that the information contained in the report is from a paid FBI informant who she called “extremely credible.” Referring to notes Greene said she took after leaving the SCIF in which she read the document, the congresswoman said — providing greater detail than has been shared publicly before — the report includes claims that there are financial records in existence showing two separate $5 million payments to “fix” a situation: one to Hunter Biden and one to, “specifically,” Joe Biden.

“Back in 2015-2016, Burisma was looking to buy a U.S.-based oil and gas company,” Greene said. “This came from being advised by Hunter Biden and his partners.”

Around the time then-Vice President Biden called Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin corrupt, Burisma “hired Hunter on the board ‘to make the problems go away,’ that’s what they specifically said,” Greene explained.

“Hunter advised that they could raise more money if [Burisma] bought a U.S. company, so the informant was trying to do the right thing and trying to advise Burisma that they shouldn’t go this route, they should hire an attorney, work out their problems that they were being investigated for — because they were having other legal problems, and that’s why they were being investigated by this prosecutor, Shokin,” MTG continued.

White House Announces Steps to Shield LGBT Community Ahead of Pride Event

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House on Thursday announced steps to protect the LGBT community ahead of a Pride Month celebration, including the appointment of a Department of Education coordinator to address “the growing threat that book bans pose for the civil rights of students.”

President Biden, who has made the promotion of gay rights a cornerstone of his term, plans to host a large Pride celebration with singer-songwriter Betty Who on the South Lawn of the White House.

The White House took aim at a dozen states that have passed what it called “anti-LGBTQI+ laws that violate our most basic values and freedoms as Americans, and are cruel and callous to our kids, our neighbors, and those in our community.”

Free speech organization PEN America says some of the new laws — particularly in Texas, Florida, Missouri, Utah and South Carolina — have resulted in a rise in restrictions on certain books in libraries or schools.

Conservative leaders and parent groups have pointed to content that is pornographic or inappropriate for younger ages in pushing to restrict some content. They say it would be unconscionable to give young people access to the materials and is part of a broader effort to strengthen parents’ rights in schools.

Some Nations Could Send Troops to Defend Ukraine, Says Ex-NATO Chief

/0 Comments/in , /by

Some NATO countries that share a border with Russia might send troops to Ukraine on their own if alliance members, including the U.S., fail to provide “tangible security guarantees” at the upcoming summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, former NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said.

Suppose NATO members can’t agree on a clear path forward for Ukraine. In that case, there is a “clear possibility” that some countries might take action to support Kyiv, including putting “boots on the ground,” Mr. Rasmussen said in remarks published in The Guardian newspaper.

“I think the Poles would seriously consider going in to assemble a ‘coalition of the willing’ if Ukraine doesn’t get anything in Vilnius,” Mr. Rasmussen said. “We shouldn’t underestimate the Polish feelings. The Poles feel that for too long western Europe did not listen to their warnings against the true Russian mentality.”

Current NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said all member states agree that Ukraine will eventually join the alliance. During a recent meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Oslo, Norway, Mr. Stoltenberg said the most important task at hand is to ensure that Ukraine prevails as a sovereign and independent state.

“We don’t know when the war ends. But we must ensure that, when it does, we have credible arrangements in place to guarantee Ukraine’s security in the future and to break Russia’s cycle of aggression,” Mr. Stoltenberg said.

Biden Laughs off ‘Damning Evidence’ in House GOP Investigation: ‘Where’s the Money?’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden laughed off a question Thursday regarding claims from House Republicans that the FBI has “damning evidence” that the president has “sold out the country.”

Biden fielded questions from reporters during a joint press conference with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the White House Thursday afternoon.

House Republicans, including Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), were preparing a contempt vote for FBI Director Christopher Wray over claims the bureau is covering up “explosive allegations” regarding a Biden family bribery scheme, but Wray allowed the full House Oversight Committee to view the document in question starting Thursday.

“Where’s the money? I’m joking,” Biden responded when asked about Mace’s claims. “It’s a bunch of malarkey.” (Read more from “Biden Laughs off ‘Damning Evidence’ in House GOP Investigation: ‘Where’s the Money?’” HERE)
