McCarthy Takes Dig at Pelosi, Says He’ll Be Respectful of Biden at SOTU

/1 Comment/in , /by

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., took a swipe at predecessor Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., promising he wouldn’t “tear up” a copy of President Joe Biden’s State of the Nation speech — a reference to Pelosi’s dramatic reaction to the 2020 address.

McCarthy on Monday said he’ll be “respectful” during the Tuesday night speech, explaining his reverence for the office of the president overrides his frustration with Biden, the Washington Examiner reported.

During former President Donald Trump’s 2020 State of the Union address, Pelosi tore up her copy of the remarks at the end of the speech. (Read more from “McCarthy Takes Dig at Pelosi, Says He’ll Be Respectful of Biden at SOTU” HERE)

Biden Shares First Page of His SOTU Address…and He Might Be in Trouble

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Biden — or whichever handler has the unfortunately responsibility of posting for him and reading his replies — tweeted Monday morning that he was “Getting ready” for his State of the Union address to be delivered on Tuesday evening. The statement was accompanied by a photo of a speech draft with a coffee mug and plate of cookies nearby, because why shouldn’t he get a little reward for his hard work reading what’s been written for him.

But some careful observers have worried that the first page of Biden’s speech might already be set to trip him up[:]

Mr. Speaker.

Madam Vice President.

Our First Lady and Second Gentleman.

Members of Congress and the Cabinet.

Leaders of our military.

Mr. Chief Justice –

and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court .

My fellow Americans.

[PAUSE]

So, will President Biden read everything, and we mean *everything* that scrolls past his tired eyes on the teleprompter?

Grammy’s ’Unholy’ Night: Non-Binary Pop Star Sam Smith Performs BDSM, Devil-Themed Song

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Pop star Sam Smith, who describes himself as non-binary, performed a BDSM Devil-themed rendition of his song “Unholy” at the Grammys on Sunday night, complete with red leather suits, flames, and cartoonish devil horns.

Leading up to Sunday’s performance, Sam Smith promised that it would likely anger Christians and cause protests at CBS for what he described as satanic imagery. As it turns out, the imagery was just a few items of clothing removed from a Looney Tunes episode.

As Showbiz 411 reported, sources said that the performance would “make a lot of people very upset.”

“I guarantee there will be calls to CBS from outraged Christians,” a source close to Smith said.

Smith’s source said that the singer would “playing Satan” and that “there will be a lot of devil type stuff, devil worship, and ‘pyrotechnics like you’ve never seen.’” (Read more from “Grammy’s ’Unholy’ Night: Non-Binary Pop Star Sam Smith Performs BDSM, Devil-Themed Song” HERE)

Beyoncé Breaks Record for Lifetime Grammy Wins, Thanks God and ‘Queer Community’

By Breitbart. Pop queen Beyoncé on Sunday reigned supreme at the Grammys, breaking the all-time record for wins with her 32nd prize and fourth of the night to resounding applause.

The 41-year-old entered the day with the most chances at Grammy gold with nine, following the release of “Renaissance,” her rich, layered ode to club music.

She clinched the title by winning the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album for her smash “Renaissance,” thus surpassing the late classical conductor Georg Solti, who had 31 awards.

“I’m trying not to be too emotional. And I’m trying to just receive this night,” Queen Bey said, wearing a shimmering, curve-hugging gown, her hair in mermaid waves as her peers witnessed the history-making moment.

Beyoncé thanked her family and paid special tribute to the queer community, who she credited with inventing the genre she celebrated in her historically layered record that pays homage to pioneers of funk, soul, rap, house, and disco.

Disney Cuts ‘Simpsons’ Episode That Mentions Forced Labor Camps From Chinese Platform

/0 Comments/in , /by

Disney, ever eager to avoid any confrontation with the Chinese Communist government, cut an episode of The Simpsons from Disney Plus streaming platform in Hong Kong that referenced “forced labor camps” in China.

The episode, titled “One Angry Lisa,” aired in October 2022 and showed the instructor of Marge Simpson’s virtual bike class state, “Behold the wonders of China. Bitcoin mines, forced labor camps where children make smartphones.” Another episode of the show that broadcast in 2005 mentioned the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre and the Chinese government’s efforts to suppress knowledge of it; it was cut in 2021.

Cutting the episode had “more to do with the company’s ties, current and future, in mainland China,” Kenny Ng, associate professor at the Academy of Film at Hong Kong Baptist University, said, adding, “It could be strategic to eliminate any China-offending episodes.”

Yet the Hong Kong government, responding to the situation, stated that its recent film censorship regime, enacted in 2021 to prevent films from posing a risk to national security, “does not apply to streaming services,” Financial Times reported.

Hong Kong, formerly a British colony, was given to China in 1997. (Read more from “Disney Cuts ‘Simpsons’ Episode That Mentions Forced Labor Camps From Chinese Platform” HERE)

Dry Run: Balloons Called Top ‘Delivery Platform’ for Nuclear EMP Attack

/0 Comments/in , , /by

High-altitude balloons, such as the one China has floated over mountain state military bases this week, are considered a key “delivery platform” for secret nuclear strikes on America’s electric grid, according to intelligence officials.

Spy balloons, used by Japan to drop bombs during World War II, are now far more sophisticated, can fly at up to 200,000 feet, evade detection, and can carry a small nuclear bomb that, if exploded in the atmosphere, would shut down the grid and wipe out electronics in a many-state-wide area.

The threat of balloon-launched electromagnetic pulse attacks was warned about by a congressional EMP commission and inside the military several years ago.

In a 2015 report for the American Leadership & Policy Foundation, Air Force Maj. David Stuckenberg, one of the nation’s leading EMP experts, wrote extensively about the threat balloons carrying bombs pose to national security. . .

On Friday, he told Secrets, “China’s recent balloon flyover of the United States is clearly a provocative and aggressive act. It was most likely a type of dry run meant to send a strategic message to the USA. We must not take this for granted.” (Read more from “Dry Run: Balloons Called Top ‘Delivery Platform’ for Nuclear EMP Attack” HERE)

Balloons for Spying, Countering Drones and Psychological Warfare, Chinese Military Writings Reveal

/0 Comments/in , /by

China’s People’s Liberation Army plans to use high-altitude balloons to counter long-range U.S. drones, launch psychological warfare operations and gather intelligence, a review of Chinese military and technical writings reveals.

Beijing also reportedly test-fired a hypersonic missile from an airship in 2018, highlighting the military’s interest in multiple uses for lighter-than-air aircraft.

The U.S. decision to dispatch an F-22 to shoot down a Chinese surveillance balloon off the Carolina coast Saturday, after it traveled across the country from northern Montana, has focused new attention on the capabilities and threats posed by helium-filled, maneuverable craft.

Defense officials said little intelligence could be gained from sensitive military sites along the path despite the delay in knocking out the balloon. The maneuverable craft’s sensors fell into relatively shallow waters intact and are expected to be recovered.

New Info on Chinese Spy Balloon From NORAD Commander Is Jaw-Dropping

/0 Comments/in , , /by

At this point, everything the Biden team says about the Chinese spy balloon just seems to make the problem worse.

One of the big questions that people have had is why the balloon wasn’t shot down earlier, for example, over the Aleutian Islands, near Alaska. Or over any of the less populated areas of Alaska, Canada, or Montana that it went over?

Now, they’re out with more comments and they’re not helping themselves. They had earlier claimed they didn’t have a “water shot.” That answer has now “evolved” further.

According to the Department of Defense, the U.S. did not have time to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon right after it crossed into Alaskan waters.

The balloon “did not present a physical threat” to the US and Canada, said Gen. Glen VanHerck, Commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM). “I could not take immediate action because it was not demonstrating … hostile intent.”

Florida Unveils Plan to ‘Dissolve’ Disney’s Self-Governing Status

/4 Comments/in , /by

In a statement from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ (R) office, they explained what will happen once Disney World’s self-governing district is revoked, which started after the mega-company wrongfully accused the state of targeting the LGBTQ+ community when they passed a law to prevent educators from teaching children sexual content in early grade school.

The Florida legislature will be passing the bill regarding the Reedy Creek Improvement District during a special session this week. DeSantis’ office is promising the new law will bring an era of accountability and transparency.

“In 1967, the Florida Legislature created the Reedy Creek Improvement District (the District), in which gifted extraordinary special privileges to a single corporation. Until Governor DeSantis acted, the Walt Disney Company maintained sole control over the District. This power amounted to an unaccountable Corporate Kingdom,” Deputy Press Secretary Jeremy Redfern explained. “Florida is dissolving the Corporate Kingdom and beginning a new era of accountability and transparency.” (Read more from “Florida Unveils Plan to ‘Dissolve’ Disney’s Self-Governing Status” HERE)

Man Falls off Cliff and Dies Making ‘Daredevil’ TikTok Video

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Indiana man died after falling off a cliff in Puerto Rico while filming a video for TikTok, according to CNN.

Edgar Garay, 27, was on a trip in southwest Puerto Rico when he fell off a 70-foot coastal cliff near a lighthouse. His body was found in an underwater cave by a dive unit.

According to WTHR, which spoke with the brother of the deceased, Garay was with his cousin Emma, who took him sightseeing. The cousin allegedly told Garay repeatedly not to get too close to the cliff. When walking away, Garay’s cousin looked back and realized he was no longer there.

The Coast Guard received a phone call about the incident, with a witness at the scene later saying that she saw Garay stumble toward the edge of the cliff. A helicopter began conducting a search that night.

Carlos Garay, older brother of Edgar, told the Indiana outlet that his brother was a daredevil. (Read more from “Man Falls off Cliff and Dies Making ‘Daredevil’ TikTok Video” HERE)

Disney Slammed for ‘Anti-White Propaganda’ in Show for Kids

/0 Comments/in , /by

A reboot of the Disney show “The Proud Family” is receiving backlash over a rap in a recent episode of the cartoon featuring kids singing about slavery and reparations, arguing that America “owes” black Americans because America “still has not atoned for” its systemic prejudice, racism and White supremacy.

“This country was built on slavery, which means slaves built this country,” the song repeatedly stated in the Disney+ episode of “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder,” which reviewed the history of Juneteenth.

“The descendants of slaves continue to build it, slaves built this country and we the descendants of slaves in America have earned reparations for their suffering and continue to earn reparations every moment we spend submerged in a systemic prejudice, racism and white supremacy that America was founded with and still has not atoned for,” the children chanted.
