Stop the Press: New York Post Banned From Biden Event as Hunter Indictment Looms

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House press office barred The Post from attending President Biden’s only daytime public event Monday as federal prosecutors near a decision on criminally charging first son Hunter Biden for tax fraud and other crimes.

The Post has closely covered the president’s ties to his relatives’ foreign dealings and first reported in October 2020 on files from Hunter’s abandoned laptop that link Joe Biden to ventures in China and Ukraine.

Biden, who falsely characterized The Post’s reporting as Russian disinformation, appeared with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to talk about airline policies in the White House-adjacent Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

Biden ultimately took no shouted questions at the venue, which houses the set of a “fake” White House and about 50 theater-style seats for reporters — about 20 of which were empty Monday.

In the same room this February, Biden chose to answer The Post’s query about whether his family’s links to China compromised his ability to steer US policy. He fumed about the lack of “polite” reporters and stormed out. (Read more from “Stop the Press: New York Post Banned From Biden Event as Hunter Indictment Looms” HERE)

Study: Marijuana Use in Young Adult Men Linked to Schizophrenia

/0 Comments/in , /by

New research has provided additional support for the previously established link between marijuana use and schizophrenia, further revealing that thousands of young men with a predisposition to madness have needlessly lost their minds.

A team of Danish researchers associated with the Copenhagen Research Center for Mental Health executed a deep dive into Danish health histories from 1972 to 2021, examining the health records of roughly 6.9 million people.

Their analysis has fleshed out additional insights into the role that delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC: the primary psychoactive component of cannabis) has in the triggering and/or worsening of mental illness, schizophrenia in particular.

The team indicated in their study, published Thursday in the journal Psychological Medicine, that not only are young men especially susceptible to the effects cannabis has on schizophrenia, but up to 30% of schizophrenia diagnoses could have been averted had men in the 21 to 30 age range not abused cannabis. . .

“For example, in Denmark, the incidence of schizophrenia steadily increased from 2000 to 2012, and the schizophrenia population attributable risk fraction (PARF) for CUD increased three- to fourfold over the past two decades, parallel to increases in THC concentration,” wrote the researchers. “The increased THC content may thus, along a potential increase in the prevalence of CUD, be a main driver of the population-level increase in PARF between CUD and schizophrenia.” (Read more from “Study: Significant Number of Young Men Could Have Been Spared Schizophrenia Had They Avoided Marijuana” HERE)

Moms’ Gun Control Group Urges State to Ban All Guns

/0 Comments/in , /by

Here 4 the Kids, a gun control group comprised of mothers, is urging Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) to use an executive order to ban all guns in the state.

The mothers are hoping a “group of 25,000 will come together for a sit-in at the state Capitol” on June 5 to demand all guns be banned, 9 News reports.

The homepage on the Here 4 the Kids website says, “We demand that Colorado Governor Jared Polis sign an executive order to ban guns and buy them back.”

Another section of their website explains, “We are not an organization. This movement is an unexplored and unprecedented action, led by black and brown women with a team of white women working behind the scenes, to end gun violence in the United States.”

The Here 4 the Kids website repeats the often stated false claim that “guns are the number one killer of children in the United States.” This claim is often based on a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study which counts people of voting age–18 and 19-year-olds–as children. Breitbart News has pointed out that using the broad age range allows the study to show firearm-related deaths of children ages 0-19 totaled 4,368 in 2020, while motor vehicle deaths for the same age range totaled 4,036. When the numbers are adjusted for ages 0-17, i.e., when people of voting age are removed from the study, the number of firearm-related deaths for children in 2020 is 2,281, while the number of motor vehicle deaths for the same age group is 2,503.

W.H.O., Chelsea Clinton, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Team Up to Push Child Vaccinations

/0 Comments/in , /by

Several organizations — including the World Health Organization, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Chelsea Clinton via the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) — are teaming up to push vaccinations onto children in an effort titled “The Big Catch-up.”

A press release detailing the effort identifies W.H.O., UNICEF, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and “many other global and national health partners” joining together for “The Big Catch-up,” which they describe as “a targeted global effort to boost vaccination among children following declines driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

It cites declines in childhood vaccination, largely triggered by the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. The press release also points to “vaccine hesitancy,” as well as the “climate crisis” as contributing factors to the decline.

Per the press release:

With over 25 million children missing at least one vaccination in 2021 alone, outbreaks of preventable diseases, including measles, diphtheria, polio and yellow fever are already becoming more prevalent and severe. The Big Catch-up aims to protect populations from vaccine-preventable outbreaks, save children’s lives and strengthen national health systems.

While calling on people and governments in every country to play their part in helping to catch up by reaching the children who missed out, The Big Catch-up will have a particular focus on the 20 countries where three quarters of the children who missed vaccinations in 2021 live*.

Trump-DeSantis Unity Ticket Scores With Voters, Heightens GOP Chances to Beat Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Perhaps former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would be better off teaming up than fighting each other for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

A Trump-DeSantis unity ticket would handily defeat President Joseph Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in a hypothetical general election matchup, according to a new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and Political Media Inc.

The survey found 51% of likely voters would pull the lever for Trump-DeSantis compared to 43% for Biden-Harris.

“Trump/DeSantis wins with women, independents, Hispanics and college grads and does historically well with African Americans,” said Larry Ward, President of Political Media Inc. He said that the unity ticket would also win the national popular vote, which would be a first for Republicans in 20 years.

Mr. Ward heads up the Constitutional Rights PAC which also runs “wewantdonron.com,” a website, whose goal is to promote the re-election of Mr. Trump with Mr. DeSantis as his running mate. (Read more from “Trump-DeSantis Unity Ticket Scores With Voters, Heightens GOP Chances to Beat Biden” HERE)

Montana Governor Signs Born-Alive Abortion Bill After Voters Reject It at Ballot Box

/0 Comments/in , /by

Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte signed legislation to require medical care for infants born alive after botched abortions just months after voters rejected a similar measure on the state ballot.

The Infant Safety and Care Act holds that medical professionals must “exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health” of abortion survivors as they would when treating any other infant born alive at the same gestational age.

“We must protect the lives of the innocent — little babies who are born alive following botched abortions,” said Mr. Gianforte at Wednesday’s bill-signing ceremony.

“Today we’re giving a voice to the voiceless and help to the helpless,” he said. “We’re establishing in Montana law that a baby born alive following an attempted abortion is a patient, a human being who deserves lifesaving care and the right to life.”

The legislation was introduced shortly after the defeat of LR-131, the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, by 53% to 47% in the November election, a major victory for the pro-choice movement following the fall of Roe v. Wade. (Read more from “Montana Governor Signs Born-Alive Abortion Bill After Voters Reject It at Ballot Box” HERE)

UFO Search: Retired Navy Senior Chief ‘Not Going to Jail’ to Report What He Saw in Afghanistan

/0 Comments/in , /by

A retired Navy senior chief petty officer said he saw a metallic orb in Afghanistan that’s similar to the one shown in a video during last month’s Senate hearing, but there’s no secure way for him to come forward.

“I’m going to be honest with you. I’d love to tell everything in detail, but I’m not willing to go to jail to do it,” said a retired Navy senior chief, whose name is being withheld for fear of repercussions.

“I’m constrained because of security agreements, so they need a way for submissions to be made,” he told Fox News Digital.

Not having a secure way to report potential UFOs was a glaring oversight in the eyes of two lawmakers on both sides of the aisle after All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO)’s April 19 UFO hearing in front of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities.

AARO is an office within the US Office of the Secretary of Defense that investigates UAPs – unidentified anomalous phenomena – which is the government-created word for UFOs. (Read more from “UFO Search: Retired Navy Senior Chief ‘Not Going to Jail’ to Report What He Saw in Afghanistan” HERE)

California Reparations Task Force Votes to Approve Restitution Plan

/0 Comments/in , /by

California’s reparations task force voted on Saturday in favor of a reparations program, the first of its kind in the United States.

The committee of nine members voted to give final approval a plan with detailed explanations for how restitution should be made to victims of systemic racism, housing discrimination, mass incarceration, and health care inequities. The plan now goes to state legislature for approval. If passed, it could mean hundreds of billions of dollars in payments to black residents of the Golden State.

Calculations provided ahead of the vote showed that black residents who have lived in California their whole life and are 71 or older could receive up to $1.2 million in payments.

The proposed payments released on Wednesday revealed various alleged harms the committee seeks to atone for on behalf of the state of California, with all of the alleged harms varying depending on the time spent in California.

Biden Drops 30% In Approval With Black Americans: Poll

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden has seen a dramatic fall in support among black Americans, according to a new poll.

An ABC News/Washington Post poll found that just 52% of black respondents approved of Biden’s performance as president, down from 82% when he took office in 2021. The 30-point drop in support is the lowest of Biden’s presidency, and comes as he prepares for reelection.

Furthermore, 27% of black Americans said they would probably or definitely vote for former President Donald Trump, or lean towards him; over double his support in 2020. Trump won just 12% of the black vote in the last presidential election.

Black Americans aren’t the only formerly solid demographic slipping away from Democrats; Biden’s support is even lower among Hispanics. Just 40% of Hispanics approve of Biden, and 43% say they would probably or definitely support Trump in a rematch, or lean towards him. The number is 11 points above the 32% of the Hispanic vote Trump received in 2020. (Read more from “Biden Drops 30% In Approval With Black Americans: Poll” HERE)

Former Senior FBI Agents Blast Politicization of the Bureau

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former senior FBI agents are sounding the alarm about the bureau’s apparent politicization in a statement sent exclusively to The Daily Caller.

“We agree privately and uniformly that [the] FBI is heading in the wrong direction and has been too entrenched with partisan politics, starting from Director Comey and intensified under Director Christopher Wray,” one agent said on behalf of the group.

The retired agents each served in the FBI for more than two decades and chose to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation. The agents describe themselves as a group of FBI veterans who love the bureau and worry about its growing role in partisan politics.

“We identified with Nicole Parker’s claim that ‘The FBI became politically weaponized, starting from the top in Washington trickling down to the field offices,’ illustrated by inflating domestic violent extremism statistics, directing big tech companies to censor Americans, conducting an unprecedented raid on President Trump’s home while suppressing key details related to the Hunter Biden probe as ‘disinformation’ and so on. We have observed firsthand that too many FBI current agents are suffering low morale and too many Americans have lost trust in FBI.”
