U.S. Military Is Creating Fake Facebook and Instagram Accounts to Try and Trick People, Meta Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

The US military has been creating fake accounts on Facebook and Instagram in an attempt to trick people, parent company Meta has said.

Security experts at Meta found “several clusters” of fake accounts on the platform, which posed as apparently legitimate accounts.

The accounts were present not only on Meta’s own platforms but across a range of other networks, including Twitter, YouTube and Telegram, it said.

They were used to push pro-Western narratives across the world, over a series of years, according to an investigation into the campaign.

“Although the people behind this operation attempted to conceal their identities and coordination, our investigation found links to individuals associated with the US military,” Meta said in its latest ‘Adversarial Threat Report’, which details the efforts of its security teams to stop such deceptive campaigns.

Tucker Carlson Slams Pete Buttigieg, Who Joined the Military During ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,’ for ‘Lying’ About Being Gay

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News’s top-rated opinion host, Tucker Carlson, ripped into Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Wednesday night and claimed that Buttigieg “hid” and “lied” about his sexual orientation “for reasons he has never been asked to explain.”

Buttigieg very publicly came out as gay while serving as mayor of South Bend, Indiana in 2015, writing an article in his local newspaper. Buttigieg who joined the military in 2009, later wrote about the toll “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” took on him while serving in the reserves as the policy, which ended in 2011, barred military personnel from being openly gay. . .

“Pete Buttigieg, of course, couldn’t pass up a moment like this. It’s not like Pete Buttigieg wants to talk about how things are going over at the Transportation Department, which he supposedly runs. Short answer not well,” Carlson said, adding:

No, Pete Buttigieg wants to talk about identity. He always wants to talk about identity. And the funny, ironic thing is and the tell just a few years ago, Buttigieg wouldn’t even admit that he was gay. He hid that and then lied about it for reasons he has never been asked to explain. Why not?

But whatever. Now he is happy to use his sexual orientation as a cudgel to bash you repeatedly in the face into submission. Quote, here’s his latest, ‘If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared, not because any of us who ever harmed you, but because you find it useful that don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows.’

Schumer Dragged After Pushing Citizenship for Illegal Aliens as U.S. Birth Rate Drops

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Wednesday, conservative Twitter users berated Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for claiming that the solution to America’s declining birth rate was to grant a path to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants that are currently in the country.

Many reminded Schumer of the irony that he and the Democratic Party support abortion yet are complaining about low birth rates and looking to absolve illegal border-crossers to solve that problem.

Speaking to the press outside the U.S. Capitol grounds, Schumer declared, “Now more than ever, we’re short of workers, we have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to.”

He added, “The only way we’re going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the DREAMers and – all of them. Cause our ultimate goal is to help the DREAMers but get a path to citizenship for all 11 million, or however many undocumented immigrants.”

Conservatives on social media expressed shocked that Schumer seriously made that argument.

White House Guide to Lying to Your Family About Politics at Thanksgiving; Biden Admin Releases Thanksgiving Dinner Talking Points

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. The White House on Wednesday distributed leftist talking points for predictably insufferable supporters of President Joe Biden to use for attacking Republicans during Thanksgiving family gatherings. . .

The list tries to argue that Biden is actually “tackling inflation,” even though the cost of a Thanksgiving meal is up by 20 percent from last year.

It also tries to denounce Republicans in Congress as “EXTREME” because of their position on protecting unborn children.

The White House document also falsely claims that Republicans want to “put Medicare and Social Security on the chopping block” and “raise costs” on Americans by repealing Biden’s multi-billion dollar climate spending agenda.

White House Releases Thanksgiving Dinner Talking Points

By Washington Examiner. The White House is seeking to tout its agenda accomplishments from the past year by releasing a list of “talking points” people can use to discuss politics during Thanksgiving dinner.

“One last item for your Thanksgiving dinner: some talking points when ‘that Uncle’ comes ‘at you’ about [President Joe Biden],” White House chief of staff Ron Klain tweeted.

The list of talking points includes a slew of policy and legislative wins by the Biden administration and Democratic lawmakers, including measures on infrastructure and lower prescription costs that were signed by the president earlier this year. The list also touts the White House’s efforts to tackle inflation, noting gas prices are down $1.35 per gallon since June and that inflation has petered out over the last few months.

National average gas prices sit at $3.61 per gallon as of Wednesday, down from the $5.01 average recorded on June 14 — the highest average price recorded by AAA. Meanwhile, inflation rates came in lower than expected for the month of October as consumer prices rose 7.7%, down from the 8.2% recorded the month before, according to the consumer price index.

Known Troublemaker: ‘Hostile’ Walmart Shooter Feuded With Co-workers, Said ‘Disturbing’ Things

/0 Comments/in , /by

The gunman named in the Walmart shooting in Virginia that killed six was “disturbing,” known to feud with co-workers and had a “hostile” attitude.

Andre Bing, the store’s overnight team lead, was someone whom new hires avoided, according to Briana Taylor, who started working for the Chesapeake store about two months ago and miraculously survived Tuesday night’s bloodshed.

“He was the manager to look out for because there was always something going on with him, just having an issue with someone,” Tyler told ABC News. . .

Donya Prioleau, who was in the break room when Bing entered and opened fire, claimed he “said a lot of disturbing things.” . . .

Prioleau also described Bing as “condescending” and lacking “good communication skills,” and said he was “quite mean to a lot of us.” (Read more from “Known Troublemaker: ‘Hostile’ Walmart Shooter Feuded With Co-workers, Said ‘Disturbing’ Things” HERE)

The ‘Respect for Marriage Act’ Is an Exercise in Tyranny, and Everyone Knows It

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It’s not hard to game out what happens if the misnamed Respect for Marriage Act passes, codifying Obergefell and enshrining gay marriage in federal law. Everyone, including the dozen Republican senators who voted to advance the legislation last week, knows exactly what will happen. It’s not some big mystery.

What will happen is this: Christians, Jews, Muslims, and anyone else who dares maintain that marriage is a lifelong conjugal union between one man and one woman — the definition of marriage for thousands of years until the U.S. Supreme Court descended from Mount Sinai with Obergefell v. Hodges inscribed on stone tablets — will be branded a bigot and driven from the public square and marketplace.

Anyone who owns a small business related to the wedding industry — photographers, bakers, website designers, venue owners, caterers, florists — will be sued into oblivion if they refuse services to same-sex couples. Religious colleges and universities will lose their tax-exempt status. Religious institutions of every kind, if they hold to their teachings and traditions about marriage, will face an onslaught from the Department of Justice and the federal bureaucracy. . .

The untrammeled exercise of power and the vigorous crushing of dissent is the entire purpose of the proposed law. There can be no other possible justification for it. Michael New, an assistant professor at the Busch School of Business at The Catholic University of America, recently told The Daily Signal that Catholic colleges and universities in particular might face ruinous lawsuits and loss of federal funding if the bill is signed into law.

“Suppose a Catholic college refused to allow a same-sex married couple to live in college owned graduate student housing for families, they might be subject to all kinds of litigation,” he said. “Such a college might lose its nonprofit status. Their students might lose eligibility for federal financial aid and their faculty might lose eligibility from research grants from government agencies.” (Read more from “The ‘Respect for Marriage Act’ Is an Exercise in Tyranny, and Everyone Knows It” HERE)

Trump Megadonors Disappearing, Won’t Back Again in ’24

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .“GOP megadonors Robert Mercer and Rebekah Mercer have no current plans to help former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign for the White House, according to people familiar with the matter,” CNBC reported this week.

“The Mercers, a father and daughter who were among Trump’s major benefactors during his first run for president in 2016, are distancing themselves from the ex-president’s third White House bid and cutting back their overall campaign fundraising, these people said. The people who spoke to CNBC did so on the condition of anonymity in order to talk about private conversations.” . . .

“Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman, Citadel CEO Ken Griffin, wealthy New York businessman Andy Sabin and billionaire Ronald Lauder are among the wealthy GOP donors opting against helping Trump’s latest campaign — at least during the Republican primary,” CNBC reported. “Some of the country’s wealthiest GOP donors do not believe Trump can win again and have argued for a new face to represent their party in the race for president.” . . .

“I’d like to think that the Republican Party is ready to move on from somebody who has been for this party a three-time loser,” Griffin said at Bloomberg’s New Economy Forum in Singapore, referring to the last three election cycles, The Hill reported.

Schwarzman was more harsh. “America does better when its leaders are rooted in today and tomorrow, not today and yesterday,” he said in a statement. “It is time for the Republican Party to turn to a new generation of leaders and I intend to support one of them in the presidential primaries.” (Read more from “Trump Megadonors Disappearing, Won’t Back Again in ’24” HERE)

Things That Didn’t Exist When Biden Was Born

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .On Sunday, Biden celebrated his 80th birthday. Nothing wrong with being old, except that for a president with a proclivity for the smell of very young children and the views of flamboyant Gen-Z Tik-Tok influencers, there is a remarkable amount of modern amenities that didn’t even exist when Biden was born.

The beloved American sweet breakfast wasn’t invented until President Biden was a full 20-years-old. The original pop tart flavors we know and love — strawberry, cinnamon sugar, blueberry, and apple currant — weren’t available to Americans until November of 1964. . .

The first credit card was invented by John Biggins in 1946, four years after Biden was born. American Express didn’t produce its first plastic credit card until the president was 16-years-old. . .

Today, people are singing a funeral dirge for cable television. Streaming services are taking over, and ratings for most of the mainstream shows are plummeting as they embrace woke policy positions only a small fraction of the country even care about. But Biden was six-years-old before even cable television was invented. Netflix and Hulu likely haven’t even crossed the octogenarian’s mind. . .

It’s unclear if in the olden days people didn’t allow their cats inside the house, or if they simply had a more regimented cleaning routine than modern day folks, but cat litter is actually a relatively new invention. Edward Lowe is credited with inventing the first kitty litter in 1947, when the president was 5-years-old. The invention took off in popularity, and Lowe eventually developed the Tidy Cat cat litter brand. (Read more from “Things That Didn’t Exist When Biden Was Born” HERE)

Trump Reported Losing Nearly $1B Over 2 Years on Tax Returns: Accountant Testifies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump reported losses on his tax returns each year for a decade – including close to $1 billion in a two-year span alone, his onetime accountant testified at trial this week.

Donald Bender, a partner at accounting firm Mazars USA, took the stand in Manhattan Supreme Court Tuesday as part of the criminal tax fraud case against the Trump Organization.

From 2009 to 2018, Bender said he filed 76-year-old Trump’s taxes and “There are losses for all these years.”

Bender – who was called as the first defense witness and was given immunity for testifying before a grand jury – admitted upon questioning from prosecutors that in 2009 and 2010 alone Trump reported losing close to $1 billion.

Poll: Trump Dominating 2024 Republican Primary Field

/0 Comments/in , /by

A national poll released Wednesday shows that former President Donald J. Trump is the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination over his potential primary opponents.

The Morning Consult/Politico poll sampled 849 registered voter respondents regarding who they would support in the potential 2024 primary field. Trump, who has officially announced his candidacy, drew 45 percent of their support, placing him 15 points ahead of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at 30 percent. No other Republican eclipsed double-digits. . .

Wednesday’s survey follows another 2024 primary poll released by Emerson College Polling on Tuesday, showing Trump with a 30-point advantage over DeSantis among registered voters. Trump garnered 55.1 percent of the response to DeSantis’s 24.8 percent. No other candidate breached the ten percent threshold.

Both polls were conducted after Trump announced his 2024 candidacy last week at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, where he promised that America’s brightest days lie ahead. (Read more from “Poll: Trump Dominating 2024 Republican Primary Field” HERE)
