Feinstein’s Health Worse Than Previously Disclosed; She Calls It ‘Really Bad Flu’

The health problems of ailing Sen. Dianne Feinstein are more serious than previously disclosed, including a case of encephalitis, according to a report Thursday.

The 89-year-old Ms. Feinstein, who returned to the Senate last week after a lengthy hospitalization for shingles, is suffering from vision and balance impairments and facial paralysis, The New York Times reported, citing two people familiar with her diagnosis.

The six-term lawmaker also has the previously unreported case of encephalitis, a swelling of the brain that can cause memory or language problems, confusion and other ill effects.

Absent from the Senate since February, Ms. Feinstein is using a wheelchair and appears “shockingly diminished,” the report said.

Ms. Feinstein denied having encephalitis. “It was a really bad flu,” she told CNN. “I’m doing better, thank you.” (Read more from “Feinstein’s Health Worse Than Previously Disclosed; She Calls It ‘Really Bad Flu’” HERE)

AI Top of the Agenda at Secretive Bilderberg Meeting

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will attend the secretive Bilderberg Meeting, an annual gathering of over 100 political and corporate leaders from Europe and North America, which has announced AI as a key item on its agenda this year.

Altman isn’t the only Big Tech figure in attendance. Other participants include Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and Google DeepMind head Demis Hassabis.

Jen Easterly, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), will also attend. As noted in a congressional hearing last week, CISA played a key role as a source of government pressure in the Big Tech censorship regime that harmed President Trump’s chances in the 2020 election. . .

The corporate legacy media also has a presence at this year’s Bilderberg, with notable members including Atlantic writer Anne Applebaum, the CEO of Axel Springer (a key force behind last year’s failed effort to create a media cartel in the U.S.), and representatives of other establishment media companies including the Economist and the Financial Times.

Other notable attendees include the CEO of Pfizer, the president and COO of Goldman Sachs, and failed Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. (Read more from “AI Top of the Agenda at Secretive Bilderberg Meeting” HERE)

FBI Agents Lose Security Clearances Ahead of Testimony

The FBI has revoked the security clearances of three of its agents for matters related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, the agency told lawmakers in a letter Wednesday.

The actions of the agents reportedly drew into question their “allegiance to the United States,” according to the letter obtained by the New York Times that was submitted a day before two of the agents were set to testify in front of the House Judiciary subcommittee investigating the “weaponization” of the federal government.

The agents, Marcus Allen, Stephen Friend, and Brett Gloss, have also been suspended pending review of their cases, according to the New York Times.

Gloss, whose security clearance was revoked two weeks ago, was allegedly in a restricted area of the Capitol grounds on the day of the attack, which is a federal offense. He also reportedly lied about being in a restricted area and gave “false or misleading information” on what he saw the day of the riot. He also failed to admit he was near the Capitol on Jan. 6 despite being warned to do so. (Read more from “FBI Agents Lose Security Clearances Ahead of Testimony” HERE)

White House Gets Angry Reactions for Saying Children ‘Belong to All of Us’

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has drawn angry reactions for commenting that children “belong to all of us” at an award ceremony held by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).

Jean-Pierre made the comments during an interview with Jezebel magazine at the 2023 GLAAD awards, weeks after President Joe Biden said there’s, “[n]o such thing as someone else’s child. Our nation’s children are all our children.” She was advocating for children to have increased access to sex change operations, procedures which are banned or restricted in many countries.

The activist organization Catholic Vote accused the Biden Administration of “working to destroy the role of parents at every turn,” in a tweet Wednesday.

In a comment provided to the Daily Caller, Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, Board Chairman of the medical group Do No Harm said that children can’t “make informed judgements” about these sorts of treatments.

Disney Worker Arrested on Child Porn Charges, Posted About ‘Hot Teens’

A longtime Disney World employee was arrested for allegedly sharing child pornography and uploading pictures of a pal’s underage daughter online — saying he wanted to “impregnate her.”

Daniel Rivera, a Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts employee of 20 years, was booked at the Orange County Jail following a months-long investigation into his Dropbox account that contained several files of children under 10 having sex with adult men.

Investigators said Rivera, a father-of-two, admitted to obtaining child porn about once a week for the last 10 years, and even shared personal information about coworkers on adult sites, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Rivera allegedly shared about 155 posts on the sites, “including several photos of young girls and women he claims he knows,” according to court records.

Several of them included coworkers dressed as Disney characters, with Rivera allegedly posting in an online forum that “hot teens in mouse ears are a weakness of mine.” (Read more from “Disney Worker Arrested on Child Porn Charges, Posted About ‘Hot Teens’” HERE)

Poop Problem Plagues Liberal City’s Mall Elevators

People have been pooping in elevators at the Westfield San Francisco Centre mall, and the frequency of the problem has reportedly picked up.

“It’s like twice a week now. It used to be once a month,” Abimael Garcia, who manages janitors at the mall, noted, according to the San Francisco Standard. “So lately, it’s increased.”

Garcia believes people poop in the elevators because they are the nearest semi-private areas to Mission Street, where there are often individuals camping, according to the outlet — several workers indicated the only routinely utilized public bathrooms at the mall are located on the second floor.

“It’s a long way to the bathrooms from Mission [Street],” Garcia remarked. “The elevators are closest to the street. It’s so easy.”

Other bathrooms like the facilities at the food court or in stores are often not open because of sanitation concerns or drug use, workers indicated, according to the outlet. (Read more from “Poop Problem Plagues Liberal City’s Mall Elevators” HERE)

Lawyer Waiting for Rideshare Is Stabbed Just 2 Hours After Arriving to Democrat-Controlled City

Attorney Joshua Pond flew to Seattle on May 7 for a business trip. Just two hours after his arrival, he became the victim of a brutal knife assault in the Democrat-controlled city.

Pond was standing outside his hotel in downtown Seattle, waiting for a rideshare to take him and a colleague to dinner. While they were waiting, a “very disgruntled-looking” man approached Pond and tried to rob him.

Pond recalled that the man shoved him twice — and the shoves were “sharp.”

“As we waited on the sidewalk outside our hotel, I got a sharp shove on the sidewalk,” Pond told KOMO-TV. “I turned around and saw a very disgruntled-looking man. He said at that point something to the effect of, ‘Give me your cell phone.’

“The shoves were sharp, there was something different, so I reached back on my shirt and pulled out blood on my hands,” he explained. “That was the first time I realized I had been stabbed and the first time I knew he had a knife.” (Read more from “Lawyer Waiting for Rideshare Is Stabbed Just 2 Hours After Arriving to Democrat-Controlled City” HERE)

The Explosive Durham Report Proves Republicans Can’t Afford to Cower in the Fight Against Government Weaponization

When Special Counsel John Durham released his explosive 306-page report about the Russian-collusion hoax on Monday, he merely confirmed what many of us already knew: the Obama Administration colluded with Democrats and the corporate media and weaponized the FBI to take down former President Donald Trump before he was even elected to office.

For years, the government, sworn to protect the people, created a partisan scheme to take down an American citizen because he threatened the deep state’s near-total grip on power. Durham’s report was critical because it exposed the years of corruption and “confirmation bias” fueling the “Russia Russia Russia” lies.

Uncovering and punishing, however, are two different things, and Durham, despite bringing charges against two known hoaxers, was mostly successful at establishing that the government levied a massive abuse of power against its citizens.

Now the ball is in the GOP’s court. Ever since they took back the House of Representatives in the 2022 midterm election, Republicans have honed in on the corruption that plagues Democrats like President Joe Biden, the Department of Justice, and intelligence agencies like the FBI. . .

The GOP knows corruption at the DOJ and FBI is deeply rooted and, as evidenced by the FBI’s reported retaliation campaign against whistleblowers, ongoing. This is exactly why Republicans must leverage the momentum they gained from Durham to punish those who weaponized and continue to weaponize themselves against the American people.

Report: U.S. Coast Guard Misses Its Recruiting Target for Fourth Year in a Row

The U.S. Coast Guard has missed its recruiting targets for the fourth fiscal year in a row, according to a new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Titled, “Recruitment and Retention Challenges Persist,” the report revealed that the Coast Guard “is about 4,800 members short” of its target total force, as the branch marks the fourth year in a row it has come up short of its recruitment goals. This shortfall encompasses the branch’s active duty, reserve, and civilian workforces, according to the Coast Guard’s fiscal year 2024 congressional budget justification.

“The Coast Guard has also faced recruitment and retention issues within its cyberspace workforce, specialized forces, and marine inspectors,” the GAO report reads. “Competition with higher paying jobs in the private sector, limited opportunities for promotion, and long work hours have made it challenging to recruit and retain these personnel.”

Factors contributing to such retention issues include quality of health care and housing costs, according to the GAO. Coast Guard personnel stationed in remote locations, for example, could have trouble accessing quality medical care. Regarding housing costs, GAO found that the Department of Defense — which “determines [housing] allowances for all the services” to help service members with housing costs — has failed to rely “on quality data to set accurate allowance rates.” In other words, the agency has failed to adjust its housing allowances to match fluctuating housing costs.
