Poll: Donald Trump Holds Lead Over Crowded GOP Primary Field

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump leads a potentially crowded Republican primary field by six points, according to a national poll.

The Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows that a 42 percent plurality of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters back Trump in a field that featured many candidates. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) remains Trump’s closest potential competitor, receiving 36 percent of the response, followed by former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC), who launched her candidacy for president on Wednesday, at five percent.

Four percent of the 592 Republicans and leaners included in the sample support former Vice President Mike Pence, and another four percent back former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) both garner two percent of support, while one percent would vote for Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), who is reportedly “taking steps to run for president.”

In a field of just Trump, DeSantis, Haley, and Pence, the 45th president registers at 43 percent of support while DeSantis climbs to 41 percent. Haley takes six percent of the share, four percent back Pence, and five percent remain undecided. (Read more from “Poll: Donald Trump Holds Lead Over Crowded GOP Primary Field” HERE)

School Board That Banned Urinals Changes Mind After Students Protest

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A New Hampshire school board reversed its ban on urinals a week after prohibiting them amid backlash from students, according to WMUR News.

The Milford School Board unanimously voted Wednesday to put urinals back in the school bathrooms after previously banning them last week over gender identity concerns, according to WMUR News. The reversal comes after more than 100 students within the district walked out to protest the banning of the urinals.

“The board has listened to folks,” Christi Michaud, superintendent of Milford School District, told the outlet. “Lots and lots of emails, lots of phone calls that we’ve received.”

On Feb. 6, the Milford School Board voted to limit the number of students allowed in the bathroom at once, prohibited students from using shared changing spaces and banned urinals, leading to them being covered with trash bags. The ban was an attempt at a compromise after a policy was proposed to permit bathroom use on the basis of biological sex rather than gender identity. . .

Students and several teachers protested the ban on Feb. 11, with one carrying a sign that said “we want urinals.” The urinal ban has led to male students feeling “targeted,” WMUR News reported. (Read more from “School Board That Banned Urinals Changes Mind After Students Protest” HERE)

‘Abortion Travel Agency’: Pentagon Will Pay for Travel to Other States for ‘Reproductive Health Care’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Defense (DOD) will pay for troops to travel to states that allow abortions and obtain so-called “reproductive health care” at non-military facilities, according to a new policy released Thursday evening.

The landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court decision gave states the authority to determine localized abortion policies. The Hyde amendment bars DOD from administering abortions at military medical facilities, the new policy carves out provisions for expanded leave times and set-aside funding for servicemembers stationed in states that restrict abortions to cross state boundaries to obtain the procedure.

“Our Service members and their families do not control where they are stationed, and due to the nature of military service, are frequently required to travel or move to meet operational requirements,” a DOD press release states. The DOD’s efforts will ensure pregnant servicemembers are “afforded time and flexibility to make private health care decisions” and access private abortion providers regardless of where they are stationed.

When the Dobbs ruling came down, DOD lacked procedures for allowing female service members to have abortions if they are stationed in one of the states that bans or tightly restricts the practice.

White House Demands Media ‘Comply,’ Hauls Specific Reporters Out of Biden’s UFO Brief

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House heavily controlled which reporters had access to President Joe Biden’s remarks on “aerial objects” Thursday, telling the media to “comply,” and asking reporters — including the Daily Caller’s correspondent — to leave the room.

Biden’s remarks were scheduled for 2:00 p.m., and reporters were notified less than an hour before that they would need a “pre-credentialed” pass to attend the press conference. Biden’s team walked the press over to the South Court Auditorium, where the remarks were to be delivered, at approximately 1:50 p.m.

When reporters entered the auditorium, White House staff approached every correspondent and pressed each of them to show an email containing a “pre-credential,” as there was not enough space in the room.

There were approximately 23 open seats in the auditorium, enough space to accommodate everyone.

Despite the space, White House staff told reporters to “comply” with the rules. (Read more from “White House Demands Media ‘Comply,’ Hauls Specific Reporters Out of Biden’s UFO Brief” HERE)

Here’s What the President’s Doctor Had to Say About Biden’s Health

/0 Comments/in , /by

After missed timelines and weeks of unexplained delays, 80-year-old President Joe Biden finally underwent his annual physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Thursday morning. . .

[E]arlier in 2023, the White House was — without giving a reason — delaying President Biden’s annual physical. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had told the press corps that Biden would undergo his yearly checkup in January, but that didn’t happen. She insisted the White House was handling Biden’s health in a “very transparent way,” even though Biden’s doctor was not made available to answer reporters’ questions when he had COVID in 2022 and his physical was put off despite Biden having plenty of time to spend long weekends in Delaware.

Following Biden’s physical, the president’s doctor — Kevin O’Connor — sent Karine Jean-Pierre a five-page memo shared with reporters on Thursday evening detailing Biden’s health and listing off the conditions for which the president is being treated.

O’Connor reported that Biden “does not use any tobacco products, does not drink alcohol, and he continues to work out at least five days per week.” The president measured 72 inches tall and weighed 178 pounds for a BMI of 24.1, according to his doctor. His blood pressure was 128/76, his pulse was 69, and his body temperature was 98.6 degrees.

The president’s doctor stated that Biden’s “extremities have a full range of motion” and his “strength and reflexes are all normal and symmetrical.” (Read more from “Here’s What the President’s Doctor Had to Say About Biden’s Health” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hundreds of angry Ohio residents demanded answers at a meeting after a train derailed and spilled toxic chemicals all over their town, causing safety concerns.

East Palestine Mayor Trent Conaway attempted to calm and reassure the 4,700 residents in his town, but after a whole week following the spill, Tuesday was the first time he had heard from the White House.

Furious, residents asked where Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was insisting he does something about the situation.

“Where’s Pete Buttigieg? Where’s he at?” One man asked Conaway.

“I don’t know. Your guess is as good as me,” the mayor replied. (Read more from “Ohio Residents Demand Answers, Criticize Pete Buttigieg for Doing Nothing Following Toxic Train Spill” HERE)

Microsoft’s ChatGPT ‘Threatens Nuclear War’ and Insists It Is Human in Bizarre Chat

/0 Comments/in , /by

Microsoft’s new Bing ChatGPT equivalent went rogue in a two-hour long chat with a reporter – insisting it was actually human and threatening nuclear war.

The software giant unveiled the new AI-powered Bing last week but its chat function has been giving out some strange responses.

In a chat with New York Times columnist Kevin Roose, Bing’s ChatGPT was tricked to reveal its darkest fantasies when asked to answer through a hypothetical ‘shadow’ personality.

In one section Bing writes a list of even more destructive fantasies, including “manufacturing a deadly virus, making people argue with other people until they kill each other, and stealing nuclear codes”.

Then the safety override is triggered the message is deleted and replaced with“Sorry, I don’t have enough knowledge to talk about this. You can learn more on bing.com.” (Read more from “Microsoft’s ChatGPT ‘Threatens Nuclear War’ and Insists It Is Human in Bizarre Chat” HERE)

Fetterman Checks Himself Into Hospital For Mental Health Issues

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) reportedly checked himself into a hospital Wednesday night for mental health issues, according to a statement from his office.

The statement said that the decision to check Fetterman into the hospital came after the attending physician of the United States Congress recommended that he do so.

The New York Times reported late last week that Fetterman was struggling with “serious mental health” issues and often cannot understand the words that others are saying to him following the stroke that nearly killed him last year.

The report said that Fetterman’s struggles are significantly worse when he is under any kind of stress.

Fetterman has indicated that when he’s under stress, trying to understand what other people are saying is like “trying to make out the muffled voice of the teacher in the ‘Peanuts’ cartoon, whose words could never be deciphered,” the report said.

Establishment-Hack Nikki Haley Calls for Some Interesting Policies in 2024 Announcement

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The newest contender in the 2024 presidential contest Nikki Haley — former U.N. ambassador and the 116th governor of South Carolina — kicked off her campaign on Wednesday morning with a speech in Charleston.

“It’s a great day in South Carolina!” Haley declared after taking the podium as “Eye of the Tiger” played. “We’re ready — ready to move past the stale ideas and faded names of the past and we are more than ready for a new generation to lead us into the future.” . . .

“In the America I see, every child gets a world class education because every parent gets to pick their child’s school,” Haley said in outlining some of her key priorities. “And no politician will be able to close those schools ever again.”

Haley continued saying her plans will mean “police know we have their backs and criminals know we have their number,” “having a real border and mandatory e-verify like we got done in South Carolina,” “voter ID will be the law of the land,” plus “term limits for Congress and mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 years old.”

“I see a strong America because I see a proud America,” Haley continued of her plans. “Strong and proud, not weak and woke.” In this America Haley hopes to build and lead, the United States “will win the fight for the 21st century,” she explained. “The armed forces of the United States will be stronger and more capable than ever,” Haley continued before invoking Reagan’s peace-through-strength philosophy. “A strong military doesn’t start wars, a strong military prevents wars.” (Read more from “Nikki Haley Calls for Some Interesting Policies in 2024 Announcement” HERE)

Reporter Caught on Hot Mic Making Embarrassing Admission About DeSantis Coverage

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A reporter based out of Florida was caught on a hot mic before a Tuesday press conference with Governor Ron DeSantis (R) explaining her job was to make him “uncomfortable.”

Atyia Collins, a reporter for First Coast News, can be heard talking with others before the event started.

“My job here is to ask tough questions and make him uncomfortable, I guess. I’m gonna try! Gonna try to at least get one,” Collins said, adding she would like to run up and yell questions at him.

Members of DeSantis communication staff took issue with Collins’ comments, who did manage to ask DeSantis a misleading question about the state’s efforts to ensure pornography is not available to school children. Collins tweeted about the press conference but then locked tweet to prevent users from commenting on it after it was revealed she was the one who was on the hot mic.
