Ariz. Rancher Charged with Mexican Man’s Murder Framed by ‘Traffickers’: Defense

The elderly Arizona rancher charged with murdering a Mexican national on his property is being framed by violent traffickers who have been using his lands for illicit activities, his defense argued Wednesday.

George Alan Kelly, 75, faces one first-degree murder charge and two assault charges for the Jan. 30 death of Gabriel Cuen-Butimea, 48, on his ranch on the border outside Nogales, Ariz.

In Santa Cruz County court, however, Kelly’s defense attorney Brenna Larkin said her client was being targeted by smugglers who were intimidating witnesses and skewing the investigation.

“Absolutely the least likely thing that happened in this case is that Mr. Kelly randomly decided to … start shooting at random people,” Larkin argued, noting that there was a “large incentive” for deceitful witnesses to come forward after “succumbing to pressure from traffickers.”

Larkin alleged the traffickers are interested in “securing their route” through Kelly’s property, and are using his case as a message to others not to challenge them. (Read more from “Ariz. Rancher Charged with Mexican Man’s Murder Framed by ‘Traffickers’: Defense” HERE)

Trump Will Visit Ohio Town Impacted by Train Crash

Former President Donald Trump is slated to visit East Palestine, Ohio, on Wednesday as the small rust belt town is grappled by a train derailment and subsequent chemical fallout.

Local and state authorities previously evacuated all residents within one mile of the February 3 derailment and started a controlled burn of industrial chemicals on the vehicle to decrease the risk of an explosion, which could have sent shrapnel throughout the small town. Vinyl chloride, a known human carcinogen used to manufacture PVC, was emitted from five train cars in the form of massive plumes of dark smoke, prompting concerns about air and water quality for the millions of people who live in the Ohio River Basin.

As Trump continues his third bid for the White House, he is expected to draw attention to President Joe Biden’s relative silence on the disaster and the minimal attention publicly paid to the crisis by senior administration officials. The highest-ranking Biden staffer to visit East Palestine has so far been EPA Administrator Michael Regan, who canceled a climate change mission to Africa he was scheduled to lead alongside celebrity couple Idris and Sabrina Elba as his agency addresses the fallout, which has produced worrisome health concerns for humans and livestock.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, the former Democratic presidential contender whose tenure at the agency has been marked by a number of infrastructure issues, has yet to visit the small town and did not publicly address the crisis for more than a week after it occurred. He nevertheless appeared at the National Association of Counties Conference to comment on matters such as racial equity in the construction sector. On Monday, Buttigieg said he would visit East Palestine “when the time is right.”

Biden himself made an appearance in Kyiv, Ukraine, on Monday as his administration supplies the war-torn nation with more than $113 billion amid the invasion from Russia. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, also known as FEMA, meanwhile granted a request for aid to East Palestine only after Trump revealed his plans to visit the small town of 4,700 residents, a note that the former commander-in-chief sounded on social media.

Defendants Dumbfounded after Judge Warns Their Chats Are Being Leaked

For the first time following Townhall’s bombshell investigation into a suburban LGBTQ pedophile ring near Atlanta, gay activists turned-alleged child rapists Zachary and William Zulock, who are accused of sexually abusing their adopted sons, made physical appearances in the courtroom for separate motion hearings on Feb. 1 as the Georgia child-prostitution case gears up for trial.

There, during back-to-back court proceedings, Judge Jeffrey Foster considered Walton County District Attorney Randy McGinley’s motion for the restriction of “extrajudicial statements,” commonly referred to as a gag order, and cautioned that the same-sex couple’s not-so-private communications from behind bars have been made public by a family whistleblower of sorts.

The judge’s warning came after Townhall published Zachary and William’s recorded jailhouse calls and text conversations with a concerned family member, who shared the material exclusively with Townhall to shine a spotlight on the Zulock case that has seen an all-out media blackout—at the local and national level—since news of the married men’s arrests broke over the summer.

“My instinct is that much of what is out there was conversation that was assumed to be in confidence that, obviously, was not held in confidence,” Foster, alluding to the leaked calls and chats, stated. “I’m sure, after discussions with counsel, the nature of any exchanges and conversations with family members would probably be much more guarded, in light of the circumstances now anyway.” The judge underscored: “But, I can’t compel third parties who would become aware of information to not say anything.” (Read more from “Defendants Dumbfounded after Judge Warns Their Chats Are Being Leaked” HERE)

Poll: Only 33% Think America Is Going in the ‘Right Direction’

Only 33 percent of likely U.S. voters think the country is heading in the “right direction,” which is down from the previous survey, polling released Monday by Rasmussen Reports found.

The Rasmussen Reports survey also found that 61 percent think the country is going in the “wrong” direction, with six percent unsure how they felt. The survey was taken online with 1,500 respondents during the week ending February 16, 2023.

The percentage of respondents who thought the county was going in the “right” direction was down two points from the week prior, with the percentage of respondents believing the country was headed in the “wrong” direction going up one percent. . .

Over the last several weeks, the country has been dealing with inflation, as it was last year; however, it is also dealing with slightly higher tensions with China. This follows the United States military shooting down a Chinese balloon that flew over continental America for days, which was believed to have electronic surveillance technology capable of monitoring communications signals.

MMA Star Goes off on the Evil of Homosexuals Kissing in Primetime TV Ad, Cites Scripture

Nate Marquardt, a former mixed martial arts star who competed in UFC and Strikeforce, received backlash on social media over the weekend when he tweeted about watching a commercial featuring two men kissing.

Marquardt called the commercial “disgusting.” He apparently tuned in to ESPN to watch Erin Blanchfield defeat Jessica Andrade via submission and Zac Pauga defeat Jordan Wright via decision.

“Wow disgusting commercial watching @ESPNPlus with my kids and have to tell them to look away so they don’t see two men kissing,” he tweeted.

The 43-year-old Wyoming native defended himself in subsequent tweets as his remarks made the rounds across social media. He wrote he was “standing up against evil in the media.”

“It is not hateful to say that homosexuality, pedophilia, or fornication is disgusting,” he added. “It’s not loving to be silent when the culture praises things that lead people to Hell (1Cor 6:9-11). It’s not hateful, but loving to protect children from this world’s evil demented propaganda.”

‘Slap in the Face’: Ohio Mayor ‘Furious’ That Biden Visited Ukraine Instead of Toxic Train Wreck Site

The mayor of East Palestine has ripped President Biden for heading to Ukraine for a surprise visit instead of the scene of Ohio’s toxic train derailment.

Mayor Trent Conaway accused Biden of abandoning his domestic responsibilities after the 80-year-old president popped over to Kyiv on Monday to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“That was the biggest slap in the face,” Conaway told Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Monday night.

“That tells you right now he doesn’t care about us,” the mayor continued.

“He can send every agency he wants to, but I found out this morning that he was in Ukraine giving millions of dollars away to people over there and not to us … on Presidents’ Day in our country, so I’m furious.” (Read more from “‘Slap in the Face’ Ohio Mayor ‘Furious’ That Biden Visited Ukraine Instead of Toxic Train Wreck Site” HERE)

Doctors Sue FDA for Prohibiting Ivermectin to Treat COVID-19

A group of doctors is suing the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services for their various attempts at preventing ivermectin from being prescribed to treat Covid-19. Plaintiffs Robert L. Apter, Mary Talley Bowden, and Paul E. Marik argued the FDA tried to prohibit them from prescribing the drug, even though they have successfully used it in treating patients with the coronavirus.

“The FDA generally cannot ban particular uses of human drugs once they are otherwise approved and admitted to the market, even if such use differs from the labeling — commonly referred to as ‘off-label’ use,” the lawsuit argues. “The FDA also cannot advise whether a patient should take an approved drug for a particular purpose.”

But the FDA overstepped its authority by “directing the public, including health professionals and patients, not to use ivermectin to treat COVID-19, even though the drug remains fully approved for human use,” the lawsuit continues. The aim of the suit is to set aside “any FDA actions that direct or opine on whether ivermectin is an appropriate treatment for COVID-19, declare such actions unlawful, and issue permanent injunctive relief enjoining the FDA from further engaging in such actions.”

The plaintiffs originally filed their lawsuit in June 2022 — after the FDA and corporate media spun up the narrative that ivermectin is used as a cattle dewormer and that anyone who prescribed or took the drug as a Covid treatment was an anti-science rube — but a U.S. district court denied their claim. In February 2023, the doctors appealed their case to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Multiple groups have filed amicus briefs in support of the suit, including America’s Frontline Doctors and the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC).

A Former WH Doctor Made Alarming Comments Regarding Biden’s Health Report

According to the White House, President Joe Biden is in tip, top shape. Despite his constant embarrassing gaffes, walking around in circles, and forgetting that the person he’s looking for in the crowd is dead.

However, a former White House doctor is calling the bluff on Biden’s recent health report.

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), who served as the physician to Presidents George W. Bush, Obama, and Donald Trump, said that Americans cannot be fooled and see that the President’s “mental health is in total decline.”

“There is no transparency from the White House on what’s going on, if anything, to address this issue and his inability to do his job,” Jackson told Fox News Digital. “Yesterday’s written physical exam report released by Biden’s physician, Kevin O’Connor, further confirms that this administration is still adamant about concealing the truth.” . . .

“Nowhere in the report was there mention of Biden’s deteriorating mental health,” Jackson said, adding, “this is alarming, considering I have already sent three letters to the White House demanding that Biden receive a cognitive test and that the results be made public, all of which have been ignored. Everyone can see something is wrong — the cover-up needs to end.” (Read more from “A Former WH Doctor Made Alarming Comments Regarding Biden’s Health Report” HERE)

Joe Biden Fiddles With World War in Ukraine as U.S. Border, Railways Burn

Americans received a pristine view of Democrats’ disastrous America-Last policies this morning as Joe Biden paid a surprise visit to Ukraine while his own country literally burns with manmade disasters he continues to inflame.

Biden’s Federal Emergency Management Agency denied any money to help clean up a burning chemical disaster zone in the Republican state of Ohio, but Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has made it clear that Biden will get a blank check to slosh around hundreds of billions from U.S. taxpayers to prolong the carnage of war in Ukraine — and the profits from it from insane deficit spending that also threatens U.S. national security.

Not only is key U.S. infrastructure on fire stateside, but Biden, in violation of his oath of office, also set the U.S. border figuratively on fire immediately upon assuming the presidency by lifting former President Trump’s effective enforcement of U.S. national security laws. Cities and towns across the United States are overwhelmed with mass human trafficking and the outsourcing of U.S. border control to international drug cartels allied with the top U.S. foreign adversary, Red China.

It’s no surprise that American support for expanding the U.S. proxy war with Russia is declining. They can see that their neighbors have to pay tens of thousands of dollars a year for health insurance even if they never see a doctor because they’re really paying off the health expenses of illegal migrants, and that their neighbors are dying from the fentanyl trafficked with the human flood of misery across the border.

And where is Biden as his country is in flames? Hiding from his crimes against Americans, our laws, and our Constitution by urging continued atrocities while doing a dog and pony show in Ukraine.

Study: Natural Immunity Provides ‘at Least as High, if Not Higher’ Protection Against COVID as Vaccines

Natural immunity provides “at least as high, if not higher” levels of protection against COVID-19 as two doses of an mRNA vaccine, according to a study published in The Lancet – one of the oldest and most respected medical journals in the world.

The research analyzed 65 studies from 19 different countries to determine the level of protection from past infection against “subsequent re-infection, symptomatic COVID-19 disease, and severe disease.”

The study noted, “Our meta-analyses showed that protection from past infection and any symptomatic disease was high for ancestral, alpha, beta, and delta variants, but was substantially lower for the omicron BA.1 variant.”

“Although protection from re-infection from all variants wanes over time, our analysis of the available data suggests that the level of protection afforded by previous infection is at least as high, if not higher than that provided by two-dose vaccination using high-quality mRNA vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech),” the authors of the study wrote.

“Furthermore, although protection from past infection wanes over time, the level of protection against re-infection, symptomatic disease, and severe disease appears to be at least as durable, if not more so, than that provided by two-dose vaccination with the mRNA vaccines for ancestral, alpha, delta, and omicron BA.1 variants, which is also seen from studies directly comparing natural immunity to vaccine-induced protection,” the authors said.
