As Republicans Rush to Defend Trump After Indictment, This RINO Senator Stays Silent

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Republican senators quickly rushed to defend former former President Donald Trump after he was indicted for his handling of classified documents last week — or at least most of them did.

Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri claimed the indictment put the country’s rule of law at risk. Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri said it looked like a banana republic. Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas said “lady justice has taken off her blindfold.”

Sen. Jerry Moran, a Kansas Republican, stayed quiet.

“Jerry Moran won’t say much about anything,” said John Pyle, an Ellis County Republican who led an effort to censure Moran last year for supporting a bipartisan spending bill. “He doesn’t like to get in the middle of any kind of confrontation.” (Read more from “As Republicans Rush to Defend Trump After Indictment, This RINO Senator Stays Silent” HERE)

The CIA Is Begging Congress to Please Keep Spying on U.S. Citizens Legal

/0 Comments/in , /by

High-level officials from the CIA, FBI, and NSA are testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee today, asking Congress to continue allowing the agency to spy on the communications of US citizens. They are urging Congress to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)—one of the nation’s most hotly contested government surveillance programs. Intelligence agencies have long cited the powerful 2008 FISA provision as an invaluable tool to effectively combat global terrorism, but critics, including an increasing number of lawmakers from both parties, say those same agencies have morphed the provision into an unchecked, warrantless domestic spying tool. The provision is set to expire at the end of this year.

Federal agents urged lawmakers to reauthorize 702 without adding new reforms that could potentially slow down or impair operators’ access to intelligence. The officials danced around advocates’ concerns of civil liberty violations and instead chose to focus on a wide array of purported national security threats they say could become reality without the “model piece of legislation.” Multiple intelligence agents speaking Tuesday invoked the specter of September 11th and warned lawmakers new safeguards limiting agents’ ability to rapidly access and share intelligence on Americans could risk a repeat scenario.

“We must not forget the lessons learned from 911” DOJ National Security Division Assitant Attorney General Matt Olsen said. Olsen laid out the stakes of the hearing saying reauthorizing 702 as the “single most consequential national security decision this Congress can make.”

“The stakes cannot be higher,” he added.

Top senators on the committee meanwhile challenged the agencies and said it was vital to put in place new safeguards such as requiring warrants before searching US citizens’ records stored on the 702 databases. Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin, during his opening statement, drew a hard line in the sand, vowing not to reauthorize the program without new constitutional safeguards.

Left in Hysterics, Warning That the Country Will “Fall Apart” When Trump Reelected

/0 Comments/in , /by

“I now have to acknowledge that it is a distinct possibility that Donald Trump could be elected president – I did not believe that one year ago,” Luntz told Bourke. In the interview, published Monday, Luntz argued that Trump’s domestic opponents and the way the court cases against him have been handled have dealt Trump back in and given him a real shot at winning another general election.

“I did not believe that the search of Mar-a-Lago would be handled so badly, I did not believe that the indictment of him in New York would be handled so badly,” Luntz argued, adding:

I did not believe that his opponents would be so inept as to actually strengthen him and the combination of all of those makes him now viable, not just in the Republican primary but in the general election.

Luntz then explained to Bourke that Trump’s positioning in the 2024 race is an existential threat to U.S. democracy and even went so far as to quantify the odds of the U.S. breaking apart. . .

“Everything that I would have [previously] said to you was impossible is actually happening,” Luntz told Bourke at one point referring back to his interview in October 2021, in which he said, “He will not win. If Trump runs again he will be nominated by the Republicans, but he will never be elected president because there are too many people who hate him.” (Read more from “Left in Hysterics, Warning That the Country Will “Fall Apart” When Trump Reelected” HERE)

Kirk Cameron Calls Wokeism and Trans Agenda ‘a Corrupt Cult’: ‘Parents Need to Rescue Their Kids’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Speaking on Tuesday evening to Jesse Watters of Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” actor and writer Kirk Cameron offered pointed commentary about transgender activist Rose Montoya, who went topless on the White House South Lawn this past weekend in Washington, D.C., during a “Pride Month” celebration — and about a culture that appears to accept and even encourage this activity, including in front of America’s young children.

Montoya is a biological male who is transgender — and who defended the actions at the White House on Saturday. Several GOP lawmakers, however, blasted President Biden after the transgender activist and other attendees partially disrobed during the event.

Now the White House has banned the activist from the White House grounds after the incident — with the administration condemning the incident as “inappropriate and disrespectful.”

Said Cameron of the events on the South Lawn, “This is the kind of the immorality and disrespect that characterizes this sad and confused group of people.”

And “dragging kids into this evil morass is criminal,” added Cameron. (Read more from “Kirk Cameron Calls Wokeism and Trans Agenda ‘a Corrupt Cult’: ‘Parents Need to Rescue Their Kids’” HERE)

MTG Attempts Alliance With Homosexuals, Calling Out Trans Community for Sexualizing Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) recounted her brush with a Pride festival on Monday.

During an interview with conservative podcast host Charlie Kirk, Greene said she had called for the Marriott to take down a Pride flag at an event where she spoke over the weekend.

“Absolutely, I called them out because the Pride movement is not about rights for gay people anymore,” she opined. “But that flag that you’re showing there, that the White House and Joe Biden prominently displays as more important than the United States American flag, has become a symbol of aggression.”

Greene accused the Pride movement of having a “sexual agenda” that was “sexualizing of children.” She insisted transgender rights for people under 18 were “perverted” and “abhorrent.”

“I’m completely disgusted with this,” she said. “And I call on many people in the gay community, I call on them to stand against this because their movement has been hijacked.” (Read more from “MTG Attempts Alliance With Homosexuals, Calling Out Trans Community for Sexualizing Children” HERE)

White House Responds to Topless Fondling During Biden Pride Event

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration is condemning a transgender activist who attended a pride event at the White House over the weekend.

“This behavior is inappropriate and disrespectful for any event at the White House. It is not reflective of the event we hosted to celebrate LGBTQI+ families or the other hundreds of guests who were in attendance. Individuals in the video will not be invited to future events,” a Biden administration official released in a statement Tuesday afternoon.

During festivities on the South Lawn, where many children were present, a number of transgender individuals went topless and fondled themselves for the camera. The activists then posted the footage to social media. You can see the graphic images here. . .

Trump Prosecutor Donated to Obama, Biden, Democrats

/0 Comments/in , /by

Karen E. Gilbert, one of the lead prosecutors in Special Counsel Jack E. Smith’s attempt to convict former President Donald Trump of mishandling White House documents, is also a past campaign donor to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and the Democratic National Committee, according to the Federal Elections Commission (FEC).

Gilbert’s past political donations were flagged Tuesday by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who demanded answers in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, as well as a full roster of the staff working for the special counsel.

The issue was also highlighted by Trump supporters on social media as the former president was arraigned in Miami:

FEC records suggest that Gilbert, who is listed as a Department of Justice employee based in Florida, donated $1,000 to Biden and $250 to the Biden Action Fund in the 2019-20 cycle; $500 to the Democratic National Committee in 2013; $800 to Obama during the 2011-12 election cycle; and $1250 to Obama in 2007-08.

Trump Suggests That FBI Planted Classified Material Into Evidence They Took During Raid

/77 Comments/in , , /by

Former President Donald Trump responded to the federal indictment unsealed on Friday by suggesting that federal agents “stuffed” classified material into evidence that they collected from Mar-a-Lago after they raided the property last year.

A federal grand jury in the Southern District of Florida indicted the president on 37 felony counts for his alleged retention of national defense information, his alleged attempts to obstruct the investigation, and for allegedly lying to investigators.

“When the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, they wouldn’t let my lawyers or representatives anywhere near them,” Trump wrote on social media. “They wouldn’t tell us what they took. Knowing them, and based on past performance, they probably later ‘stuffed’ in other documents. My lawyers had to wait outside, on a very hot day. The FBI took my medical records, birth certificate, and passports, and just about anything else they were able to get their hands on. What a group! They didn’t do this to Crooked Joe Biden or Hillary.”

Special Counsel Jack Smith said during a press conference on Friday that the former president will get “a speedy trial on this matter, consistent with the public interest and the rights of the accused.” (Read more from “Trump Suggests That FBI Planted Classified Material Into Evidence They Took During Raid” HERE)

Joe Biden Centers Trangenderism Flag on White House; White House Accused of U.S. Flag Code Violation Over Display

/29 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden put the left’s “Progress Pride” flag — which is topped by the pink-and-blue colors of transgender advocacy — at the center of the White House for his “Pride” celebration.

The pro-transgender political display prompted many complaints that he disrespected the nation’s flag, which is the primary symbol of the nation’s solidarity with its ordinary citizens.

Biden’s decision to center the controversial pink-and-blue-edged “Progress Pride” flag reflects the Democrats’ need to goad their young progressive voters into the voting booth in 2024, amid his economy of declining wages, rising rents, and expanding civic chaos.

Biden’s display — and the speeches at the event — offered progressives the distracting and uplifting 2024 role of supporting rights for “transgender people.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Centers Trangenderism Flag on White House” HERE)

White House Accused of U.S. Flag Code Violation Over Pride Month Display

By New York Post. President Joe Biden’s administration is receiving backlash online over its Pride Month display at the White House on Sunday as many Twitter users are saying it violates the US Flag Code.

Biden celebrated the LGBT community in a post Saturday, revealing a set of flags hanging from the White House that faced the South Lawn.

The display includes a rainbow-colored Pride flag flanked by two American flags.

Twitter users argue the display violates a section of the US Flag Code that mandates the American flag be in the center of any display featuring multiple national flags or pennants.

“To advance revolutionary transgender agenda targeting children, Biden violates basic tenet of US Flag Code and disrespects every American service member buried under its colors,” wrote Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Scientists Believe This Energy Drink Ingredient Could Be the Secret to Slowing Down Aging

/1 Comment/in , , /by

. . .A study from Columbia University has revealed that taurine — a nutrient found in meat, fish, dairy and some energy drinks like Celsius, Red Bull, Monster and Rockstar — seems to slow the aging process and extend healthy lifespans.

“This study suggests that taurine could be an elixir of life within us that helps us live longer and healthier lives,” Vijay Yadav, Ph.D., assistant professor of genetics and development at Columbia University, said in a news release.

Yadav and a team of researchers conducted experiments with animals and people to determine what role taurine — which is also produced in the body — plays in health and longevity.

The researchers found that taurine levels in 60-year-old people were about one-third of those found in 5-year-olds. . .

Studies of mice and monkeys confirmed that taurine levels dropped significantly over time in animals, too. “That’s when we started to ask if taurine deficiency is a driver of the aging process, and we set up a large experiment with mice,” Yadav said.
