Trump Accuses National Archives of Allowing Him to Leave White House With Classified Documents

/0 Comments/in , /by

The staff at the “overly political” National Archives refused to help President Trump pack up his office in the final days of his administration, according to Mr. Trump, and their absence caused him to unknowingly take classified material to his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.

Mr. Trump’s attorneys made the charge in a letter to Congress that seeks a legislative remedy to end the Justice Department’s investigation into the former president’s possession of boxes of documents that the National Archives said belong to the agency and include some classified material.

Mr. Trump’s attorney in the case, Timothy B. Parlatore, wrote to Rep. Michael Turner, Ohio Republican and chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, that the National Archives and Records Administration “unfortunately has become overtly political and declined to provide archival assistance to President Trump’s transition team.”

Had National Archives staff offered to help pack in Mr. Trump’s final days in office, Mr. Parlatore said, “he would have accepted the offer and there would have been no reason to transfer the documents to Mar-a-Lago.”

Mr. Parlatore wrote that the White House lacks standard procedures for handling classified documents and that a law is needed “to prevent the [Justice Department] from continuing to conduct ham-handed criminal investigations of matters that are inherently not criminal.” (Read more from “Trump Accuses National Archives of Allowing Him to Leave White House With Classified Documents” HERE)

US Attempting to Force Acceptance of Perversion on Yet Another Country, This Time Japan

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday said he has “full confidence” that the Japanese government will take the necessary steps to ban discrimination against LGBTQ people.

Sexual minorities have been campaigning for the government to adopt an anti-discrimination law after an aide to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told reporters he wouldn’t want to live next to LGBTQ people and that citizens would flee Japan if same-sex marriages were allowed. Kishida quickly fired the aide, Masayoshi Arai.

Activists are urging the government to enact anti-discrimination legislation before Japan hosts a summit of the Group of Seven industrialized nations in Hiroshima in May. Japan is the only G-7 member that has not recognized same-sex marriage or enacted an anti-discrimination law for sexual minorities.

“I have full confidence based on the swiftness of the prime minister’s actions,” Emanuel said at a news conference. (Read more from “US Attempting to Force Acceptance of Perversion on Yet Another Country, This Time Japan” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Billionaires across big business sectors like finance, tech, and media are gearing up to throw millions at President Joe Biden’s reelection bid in 2024.

After Biden announced his reelection bid last week, left-wing billionaires immediately started plotting to get behind the 80-year-old in the 2024 presidential election. According to interviews and sources who spoke to CNBC, billionaires across many industries want in on helping to reelect Biden.

LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, worth $2 billion, is reportedly offering to host fundraisers for Biden. Only a few weeks ago, Hoffman visited the White House, likely to meet with Biden and his team regarding the election.

Other billionaires getting behind Biden are investor Haim Saban, worth $2.9 billion, DreamWorks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg, worth $1 billion, and Signum Global Advisors founder Charles Myers whose net worth is unknown.

“Stakes are higher than ever,” Myers told CNBC. (Read more from “Billionaires Line Up Behind Biden for 2024: ‘Stakes Are Higher Than Ever’” HERE)

This School District Is Concealing Student Gender Transitions From Parents

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Documents obtained from parental rights organization Parents Defending Education and reviewed by Townhall show that Pueblo School District 60 in Colorado has guidelines to keep students’ “gender identity” secret from their parents.

According to documents obtained by PDE, the school’s “Supporting Transgender and Gender-Nonconforming Students and Staff” guidelines say the following:

The school shall accept the gender identity that each student asserts; and there is no medical or mental health diagnosis or treatment threshold that students must meet in order to have their gender identity recognized and respected. Students ready to socially transition may initiate a process at the school to change their name, pronoun, and access to programs, activities, and facilities consistent with their gender identity.

In addition, the school district added in the document that staff “should involve parents or guardians in the implementation of these guidelines and the process of social transition at school to support the student’s well-being at school, but should first discuss the parental involvement with the student to avoid inadvertently putting the student at risk of harm by contacting the student’s parents,” adding that “students who are transgender and gender-nonconforming have the right to discuss and express their gender identity and expression openly and to decide when, with whom, and how much to share private information.” (Read more from “This School District Is Concealing Student Gender Transitions From Parents” HERE)

This COVID-19 Vaccine Investigation Could Stick It to Big Pharma Execs

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s sickening how much Big Pharma bosses have profited from the COVID-19 pandemic, after overselling billions of people around the world on the wondrous qualities of their vaccines.

Moderna Chief Executive Stéphane Bancel made nearly $400 million last year on his stock options and still owns a reported $2.8 billion of shares in the company plus his salary and perks. His Pfizer counterpart, Albert Bourla, pocketed a $33 million salary last year, on top of the millions in Pfizer shares he sold.

But before they ride off into the sunset to count their filthy lucre, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton plans to investigate whether their companies misrepresented the efficacy and safety of the vaccines and manipulated vaccine trial data.

On Monday, Paxton will launch an investigation into potential violations of his state’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act by Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, he has revealed exclusively in The Post. He also wants to know whether the pharmaceutical giants engaged in gain-of-function research and misled the public about it.

Chelsea Clinton Dragged for Defending Sexually Explicit Books for Kids

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former presidential daughter Chelsea Clinton took some backlash going into the weekend for a Thursday tweet opposing bans of LGBTQ-themed books — some of which have concerned parents calling on school boards to enforce the boundary between literature and pornography.

Clinton started the furor by sharing an NBC News article that decried the recent push to “ban” a number of sexually explicit books from elementary and middle school libraries. Of the top 13 “most-challenged” books according to the American Library Association, seven had LGBTQ themes.

But as critics quickly pointed out, many of the books were not being banned at all — they were simply being removed from school libraries based on the age range for which they were deemed appropriate. Others noted that at least some of the books that the article mentioned included graphic depictions and even literal illustrations of sex acts — and some included sex acts between minors.

CIA Veteran Reveals Why He Didn’t Sign Hunter Biden Laptop Letter

/0 Comments/in , /by

A retired CIA official is opening up about why he did not sign a letter that suggested the Hunter Biden laptop story could be part of a Russian disinformation operation just weeks before the 2020 election.

Dan Hoffman, the CIA’s former Moscow station chief, told Fox News he was “surprised” that no one requested his Russia expertise in discussing the letter before it went public and explained why he did not want his signature attached to it.

“I remember I got the letter, October 18, 2020, and at first glance, it seemed natural to lay the blame at the Kremlin’s doorstep. Remember, Vladimir Putin is in the Kremlin and he’s well known for cloak-and-dagger espionage operations,” Hoffman said. “But at the same time, there was no evidence and the letter noted there was no evidence. And I just felt like we needed to do the forensics. It was a very convoluted story.”

The letter, released on October 19, 2020, with the signatures of 51 former intelligence officials, said the alleged laptop contents have “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” but it also stressed the signees did not know if emails being reported at the time were genuine and insisted they had no evidence of Russian involvement.

Republicans in Two States Block Abortion Bans

This South Carolina Republican Just Blocked the Bill to Protect Babies From Abortions

By Life News. Earlier this week, the South Carolina state Senate had a 2nd reading vote on legislation to make South Carolina the 16th state to protect babies from abortions. Lawmakers approved the bill by a razor-thin one vote margin and the measure was poised to pass and third reading and head to Governor Henry McMaster, who would sign it into law.

But Sen. Sandy Senn (R-Charleston) had other plans.

The Republican legislator got four other GOP lawmakers together and filibustered the bill, killing it for the legislative session and making it more likely that babies will continue to be killed in abortions in one of the most conservative states in the nation.

Three attempts to end the filibuster all failed unfortunately and the state Senate adjourned without a final vote on the bill.

Senate Republican Leader Shane Massey was disappointed after the vote and said it appears impossible that the Senate will pass the Human Life Protection Act (H3774) , which would protect babies starting at conception. (Read more from “Republicans in Two States Block Abortion Bans” HERE)

Republican Defends Killing Nebraska Bill to Protect Babies From Abortion: “I Don’t Want to Be Mean”

By Life News. A Nebraska Republican lawmaker is defending killing an abortion ban that would protect babies with beating hearts.

Nebraska could have been the next state to protect babies from abortions if not for a recalcitrant Republicans who sold out unborn children.

Republican Sen. Merv Riepe had cosponsored the measure to protect babies from abortion when their heartbeat can be detected, but yesterday he abstained from voting on the measure. That allowed a Democrat filibuster of the bill to prevail – making it so thousands of babies will continue to be killed in abortions until the legislature can try again next year.

Today he defending killing the pro-life bill and allowing babies to be killed for another year, claiming he didn’t “want to be mean.” Riepe says it shouldn’t have been a surprise when he showed signs of changing a 6-week abortion ban that he co-sponsored[.] (Read more from “Republican Defends Killing Nebraska Bill to Protect Babies From Abortion: “I Don’t Want to Be Mean” HERE)

Ex-CIA Moscow Station Chief Reveals Why He Refused to Sign Hunter Biden Laptop ‘Disinfo’ Letter

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former Moscow station chief for the CIA revealed on Friday that he was given the chance to sign onto a letter attacking The Post’s bombshell report on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop as possibly Russian disinformation — but he ultimately refused.

Daniel Hoffman told Fox News on Friday that he was presented with the letter, which ended up being signed by 51 top US intelligence officials, on Oct. 18, 2020, but didn’t sign it because there was “no evidence” of Russian involvement.

“[A]t first glance, it seemed natural to lay the blame at the Kremlin’s doorstep,” Hoffman said during an interview on “America Reports.” “Remember, Vladimir Putin is in the Kremlin and he’s well-known for cloak-and-dagger espionage operations. But at the same time, there was no evidence. And the letter noted there was no evidence.”

Hoffman explained that the arguments presented in the speculative letter were “convoluted” and would need to be scrutinized by an investigatory agency such as the FBI before being considered credible.

“It was not up to us to speculate. So I didn’t sign the letter. I typically don’t put my name to other people’s words,” he said. (Read more from “Ex-CIA Moscow Station Chief Reveals Why He Refused to Sign Hunter Biden Laptop ‘Disinfo’ Letter” HERE)

Republicans Ripping DeSantis for Feuding With Disney Took Company’s Campaign Cash

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prominent Republicans who have criticized Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ actions against The Walt Disney Company have received significant donations from the media giant’s corporate political action committee, according to campaign finance records published by the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

DeSantis and Disney have been at odds since early 2022, when the Florida legislature passed a law signed by DeSantis stripping Disney of municipal powers within its special district after Disney criticized Florida’s Parental Rights In Education Law. Recently, several top Republicans have come out opposing the governor’s feud with the company, arguing that it’s bad for business, at a time when DeSantis is widely expected to run for president in 2024; however, many of these Republicans raked in campaign contributions from Disney executives and employees.

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who recently suggested that DeSantis’s actions were “problematic,” has received $20,500 since 2016 from Disney, of which $11,000 was donated to his most recent election campaign, according to FEC data. The money was formally donated by The Walt Disney Company Employees PAC, a political action committee run by Disney’s top executives that was organized in 1993 by then-CEO Michael D. Eisner.

A PAC officially affiliated with Rubio, known as the “Reclaim America PAC,” has received $35,000 since 2011, with the funds being used to support his re-election campaigns and donate to other candidates, per FEC data.

Rubio questioned “the idea that somehow if you run crossways with us politically, whoever’s in charge, then you may wind up in the crosshairs of the legislature for political purposes to make a statement at you,” when asked about DeSantis’ battle with Disney in a recent interview with Fox News.
