Donald Trump Says He Has ‘No Reason’ to Return to Twitter After Being Reinstated

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Now that Twitter would have him as a member, Donald Trump doesn’t want to join.

The former president and perpetual candidate said Saturday he had “no reason” to return to the social media platform, after new owner Elon Musk said he could be reinstated following the results of a user poll.

Just over half of the 15 million Twitter users — 51.8% — that participated in Musk’s Friday survey voted to allow the Republican back onto what used to be his favorite platform. . .

The Republican, who dealt with the ban by starting his own social media site Truth Social, shrugged at the news, and had not posted to his 72.4 million followers on his @realDonaldTrump account since it reemerged.

“I don’t see any reason for it,” the former president said via video Saturday when asked about a potential return at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership meeting. (Read more from “Donald Trump Says He Has ‘No Reason’ to Return to Twitter After Being Reinstated” HERE)

Democrats Want to Pretend Everything at the Border Is Secured

/0 Comments/in , /by

In just two years, President Joe Biden has wreaked havoc on the nation’s southern border, allowing illegal migrants to cross over into the U.S. as they please bringing drugs and sex traffickers into the country.

And the crisis at the border is only going to get worse.

After a court ruled last week that Title 42- an order that allows the U.S. to expel illegal migrants- is unlawful, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas insists that a plan is being drawn up.

However, concern mounts that a new migrant wave at the border is about to happen. . .

The Biden Administration continues to gaslight America, telling them that the crisis at the border is under control and that they have a plan, yet it seems to be just one of his many lies. (Read more from “Democrats Want to Pretend Everything at the Border Is Secured” HERE)

‘I Will Become Governor!’: Arizona GOP Hopeful Kari Lake Insists She’s Still on Track to Overturn Dem Rival’s Election Win

/0 Comments/in , /by

Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has insisted she’ll still become governor after the state’s assistant attorney general demanded explanations to polling day issues before agreeing to certify Lake’s Democrat rival’s win.

GOP rising star Lake spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com Saturday after her campaign was handed a lifeline on Saturday when the state’s attorney general’s office demanded explanations for a string of election day problems before the final results can be certified.

Lake told DailyMail.com it vindicated her decision to fight on, even though the Associated Press and other news organizations called the race for her opponent.

With more than 95 percent of votes tallied, Lake trails Democrat Katie Hobbs by fewer than 18,000 votes. The Associated Press has already called the race for Hobbs – but Lake, who was widely expected to win the contest, is having none of it.

‘The way they run elections in Maricopa County is worse than in banana republics around this world,’ she said in an exclusive interview, referring to the state’s most populous county.

Top Democrat: ‘Trump Was Right’ About TikTok, Parents Must Get Kids off App

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) praised former President Donald Trump on Sunday for recognizing the threat posed by TikTok, warning that parents should be “very concerned” about their children using the app.

Warner issued the warning during a Fox News Sunday appearance after being asked about the Beijing-owned social media giant, which has become a national security concern over its ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Trump ordered ByteDance, TikTok’s China-based parent company, to divest from the platform’s US operations or see the app banned nationwide in mid-2020. The Biden administration is trying to reach a security agreement with ByteDance to avoid such a ban, but bipartisan fear has grown that TikTok cannot be truly separated from its country of origin.

“Well, I think Donald Trump was right. I mean, TikTok is an enormous threat,” Warner told host Shannon Bream. “It’s a threat on two levels.”

One problem, the Senate Intel chief warned, is that TikTok is “a massive collector of information, oftentimes of our children. They can visualize even down to your keystrokes. So, if you’re a parent and you got a kid on TikTok, I would be very, very concerned. All of that data that your child is inputting and receiving is being stored somewhere in Beijing.

‘Groomed and Preyed Upon’: Young Woman Was Pressured Into Mastectomy, Testosterone as a Child — Now She Regrets It

/0 Comments/in , /by

Luka was 15 when she was first encouraged by her therapist to come out as transgender while she was hospitalized for mental health issues. A surgeon removed her breasts when she was 16 in a “gender-affirming” double mastectomy, and she went on cross-sex hormones soon after, which permanently changed her face, body and voice.

At 20 years old, Luka now regrets listening to doctors and medical professionals, whom she says misled and manipulated her into undergoing irreversible medical procedures.

“There was no stopping to question if this was the right way to deal with the discomfort I was feeling around my body,” Luka told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

At no point did doctors inform Luka that there were ways to resolve her mental health problems besides transitioning, which she now believes would have been enough to prevent her from going through with the procedures, she told the DCNF. Her doctors appear to have adopted the “gender affirmation approach” promoted by transgender activists: they encourage gender transitions rather than helping patients come to terms with their biological sex.

“The only acceptable answer to any medical professional was to ‘affirm’ what I said instead of offering any alternative ways of dealing with the issues I was suffering from. Those constant affirmations really did push me down the path of further medicalization,” said Luka, whose last name has been withheld to protect her privacy.

Twitter Reinstates Undercover Journalism Enterprise Project Veritas

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twitter reinstated the non-profit investigative journalism enterprise Project Veritas on Sunday, making it the latest account to have access again to the social media platform under its new owner Elon Musk.

Officials restricted Project Veritas in 2021 for allegedly posting a video showing Facebook Vice President Guy Rosen admitting the social media platform built a system designed to freeze commenting where hate speech or violence is detected — without confirming if the alleged speech was hateful or violent.

Alex Lorusso, the executive producer of “The Benny Report” on Newsmax, who was also recently reinstated on Twitter, posted the news as it broke. . .

Musk, who acquired the platform last month, has made several changes to the company’s structure. Since solidifying the $44 billion purchase last month, Musk has eliminated senior management officials, dubbed himself CEO, and dismissed more than half of the company’s staff.

FDA Says Telling People Not to Take Ivermectin for COVID-19 Was Just a Recommendation

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) telling people to “stop” taking ivermectin for COVID-19 was informal and just a recommendation, government lawyers argued during a recent hearing.

“The cited statements were not directives. They were not mandatory. They were recommendations. They said what parties should do. They said, for example, why you should not take ivermectin to treat COVID-19. They did not say you may not do it, you must not do it. They did not say it’s prohibited or it’s unlawful. They also did not say that doctors may not prescribe ivermectin,” Isaac Belfer, one of the lawyers, told the court during the Nov. 1 hearing in federal court in Texas.

“They use informal language, that is true,” he also said, adding that, “it’s conversational but not mandatory.”

The hearing was held in a case brought by three doctors who say the FDA illegally interfered with their ability to prescribe medicine to their patients when it issued statements on ivermectin, an anti-parasitic that has shown positive results in some trials against COVID-19.

Ivermectin is approved by the FDA but not for COVID-19. Drugs are commonly used for non-approved purposes in the United States; the practice is known as off-label treatment. (Read more from “FDA Says Telling People Not to Take Ivermectin for COVID-19 Was Just a Recommendation” HERE)

Bill Barr: ‘It’s Becoming Increasingly More Likely’ Trump Is Indicted

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Attorney General Bill Barr says he thinks the federal government has enough evidence to indict former President Donald Trump.

In an interview with PBS that aired on Friday, Barr told “Firing Line” host Margaret Hoover that the Justice Department “probably have the evidence” to “legitimately” charge the 76-year-old former president with a crime related to sensitive presidential documents that he allegedly stored at his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving the White House.

“If the Department of Justice can show that these were indeed very sensitive documents, which I think they probably were, and also show that the president consciously was involved in misleading the department, deceiving the government, and playing games after he had received the subpoena for the documents, those are serious charges,” Barr said.

“I personally think that they probably have the basis for legitimately indicting the president. I don’t know, I’m speculating. But given what’s gone on I think they probably have the evidence that would check the box,” Trump’s former attorney general added.

‘Eye-Opening’: Conservative Was Kept in Solitary With No Privacy

/0 Comments/in , /by

True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht – who was jailed with colleague Gregg Phillips for refusing to disclose a confidential source in a probe of alleged foreign interference in U.S. elections – says she was put in solitary confinement for four days in a cinder block cell, with a light always on and a “glass partition” allowing her to be watched while she showered and used the bathroom.

Engelbrecht and Phillips were ordered jailed without bond in Houston, Texas, by U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt. The two were released one week later after a panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals overruled the order.

“It was a very eye-opening experience, how prisoners are treated,” Engelbrecht said in an interview with Gateway Pundit founder Jim Hoft.

Hoyt, in a defamation case against them, had ruled the two in contempt of court for refusing to name a confidential source who was at a meeting in which they said they received evidence a Michigan-based, election software company, Konnech, was improperly storing the personal data of U.S. poll workers on servers in China. The defamation case was filed in September by the CEO of Michigan-based Konnech, Eugene Yu, who charged that True the Vote made baseless and racist accusations that forced him and his family to flee their home in fear for their lives and damaged his company’s business. However, only weeks after the defamation suit was filed, Yu was arrested and charged by Los Angeles County prosecutors for allegedly storing election worker data on servers in China. The prosecutors called it “probably the largest data breach in United States history.” Shortly after Phillips and Engelbrecht were released, the controversial Soros-financed L.A. district attorney, George Gascón, dropped the felony charges against Yu, saying the office was concerned about both the pace of the investigation and “the potential bias in the presentation and investigation of the evidence.”

The statement said the D.A.’s office hasn’t ruled out refiling the charges after reviewing the evidence, however, saying it would “assemble a new team, with significant cyber security experience to determine whether any criminal activity occurred.” (Read more from “‘Eye-Opening’: Conservative Was Kept in Solitary With No Privacy” HERE)

DOJ Special Counsel on Candidate Trump; Focus: Effort to Overturn 2020 Election, Mar a Lago Documents

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Attorney General Merrick Garland reportedly plans to name a special counsel to investigate former President Donald Trump, though he has yet to name such counsel to investigate President Joe Biden or his son, Hunter. . .

Garland named John L. Smith as special counsel Friday afternoon in a televised press statement. According to LinkedIn, Smith is the Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division at U.S. Department of Justice — one of the most highly politicized, left-wing departments within the agency.

Hunter Biden acknowledged in December 2020 that he had been under federal investigation for possible tax violations. Since then, the investigation reportedly broadened to include more of his global business dealings.

However, Attorney General Garland has declined to appoint a special counsel, despite criticism from legal scholars who say that greater political independence is needed in an inquiry involving the president’s family. . .

Earlier this week, the Washington Post reported — nearly a week after the midterm election — that the Mar-a-Lago documents were of a personal interest and there was no indication that the former president intended to sell any national secrets. The story has largely been ignored. (Read more from “DOJ Special Counsel on Candidate Trump; Focus: Effort to Overturn 2020 Election, Mar a Lago Documents” HERE)

U.S. Justice Dept. names war crimes expert as special counsel for Trump probes

By Reuters. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday named Jack Smith, a war crimes prosecutor, to serve as special counsel to oversee Justice Department investigations related to Donald Trump including the former president’s handling of sensitive documents and efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Garland’s announcement came three days after Trump, a Republican, announced he would run for president again in 2024. Garland said Trump’s candidacy, as well as Democratic President Biden’s stated intention to run for re-election, made the appointment of a special counsel necessary.

Special counsels are sometimes appointed to investigate politically sensitive cases and they do their jobs with a degree of independence from the Justice Department leadership.

“The pace of the investigations will not pause or flag under my watch,” Smith said in a statement. “I will exercise independent judgment and will move the investigations forward expeditiously and thoroughly to whatever outcome the facts and the law dictate.” (Read more from “U.S. Justice Dept. names war crimes expert as special counsel for Trump probes” HERE)
