Supreme Court Blocks Congress From Getting Trump’s Tax Returns

The U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 1 blocked Congress from obtaining former President Donald Trump’s tax returns.

Chief Justice John Roberts, a George W. Bush appointee, stayed an appeals court order that had ruled a congressional panel could gain access to the documents.

Trump filed an emergency application on Monday to the Supreme Court, asking it to halt the order.

Roberts’ stay is temporary, pending further developments in the case.

Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.), chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, has for years been trying to obtain Trump’s returns, asserting that they are necessary as the panel considers possibly updating how audits of presidents are done.

Man Accused of Attacking Paul Pelosi on a ‘Suicide Mission’

The man accused of breaking into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home, beating her husband and seeking to kidnap her told police he was on a “suicide mission” and had plans to target other California and federal politicians, according to a Tuesday court filing.

David DePape was ordered held without bail during his arraignment Tuesday in San Francisco Superior Court. His public defender entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf. It was the first public appearance since the early Friday attack for DePape, a fringe activist drawn to conspiracy theories. . .

DePape allegedly said he had other targets, including a local professor as well as several prominent state and federal politicians – and members of their families. (Read more from “Man Accused of Attacking Paul Pelosi on a ‘Suicide Mission'” HERE)

Democrat Takes Drastic Action After Elon Musk’s Takeover

The attorney of a major California city says her office will no longer be using Twitter because of the “troubling direction” the social media platform is moving.

San Diego City Attorney Mara W. Elliott shared her concerns Tuesday morning, writing that “Twitter is moving in a troubling direction – one that promotes hatred, violence, bullying, and false information.”

Elliott said her office would henceforth be using Instagram for news releases, media interactions, and publicly issued legal opinions. (Read more from “Democrat Takes Drastic Action After Elon Musk’s Takeover” HERE)

Biden and Democrats Spin the Attack on Paul Pelosi to Smear Trump, MAGA Backers; Oh My: Elon Just Dropped an Electrifying Tweet on Hillary About Paul Pelosi Attack

By New York Post. Joe Biden lost no time blaming ultra-mega-semi-fascist-MAGA-Donald-Trump supporters for the strange attack on Paul Pelosi in his San Francisco home early Friday.

Barack Obama did the same, using a rally in Michigan for failed Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to rail against “politicians who work to stir up division to try to make us angry and afraid of one another for their own advantage.” . . .

So did every other Democrat surrogate, like Hollywood director Rob Reiner who tweeted: “Donald Trump is 100% responsible for this and Jan.6.”

So did all the Democrat-aligned media who delivered the same talking points in unison, along with dubiously sourced facts and a false depiction of the alleged attacker as a MAGA Republican in defiance of his drug-addicted hippy lifestyle, Green Party membership and the BLM and LGBT signs festooned across his sometime residence, a nudist commune in San Francisco’s gay Castro district.

It was a full-court press designed to flip the attack on the Speaker’s husband into an “October surprise” as Dems look down the barrel of a brutal shellacking from the voters next week. (Read more from “Biden and Democrats Spin the Attack on Paul Pelosi to Smear Trump, MAGA Backers” HERE)

Oh My: Elon Just Dropped an Electrifying Tweet on Hillary About Paul Pelosi Attack

By Red State. . .Hillary Clinton followed it up with her tweet, showing this is the new liberal talking point, not just random spewing from Biden. . .

A lot of people rightfully ratioed Clinton over her latest lies regarding the Pelosi attack.

But one response was truly a wowzer. It was from Elon Musk. Hold onto your hats for this one, because it’s going to cause all kinds of meltdowns–and more efforts to get Musk by people on the left.

He links to a website that has a lot of speculation about the Paul Pelosi attack, and some things that differ from the currently known facts.

There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye https://t.co/HCaF5DrRjP

Study: COVID Vaccine Injures Heart in All Recipients

A Swiss study found elevated levels of the protein troponin in all of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients it analyzed, indicating the shots are routinely causing heart injury.

Further, up to 1 in 27 of the vaccinated people in the study showed levels associated with subclinical myocarditis, the British website Daily Sceptic reported.

Similarly, a Thai study published in August found elevated troponin levels or cardiac symptoms after COVID vaccination indicative of myocarditis or pericarditis in seven (3.5%) of 200 boys. A study published in January by the Journal of the American Medical Association based on data from the CDC’s Vaccine and Adverse Events Reporting System, or VAERS, found 1,991 reports of myocarditis after receipt of at least one shot and 684 separate reports of pericarditis.

Last year, the FDA quietly disclosed it found that the COVID-19 vaccine posed a possible increased risk of four serious heart and cardiovascular conditions in elderly people. The agency promised to investigate, but more than a year later, the status and results of the follow-up study are unknown, according to an article published this week by the British Medical Journal.

Police in this State Conduct Home Raids With Redacted Search Warrants: Report

Police in San Diego County, California, and FBI agents reportedly coordinated to conduct several early-morning raids on homes with redacted search warrants.

The redactions included the location and the people being searched by the warrants, according to a CBS affiliate in San Diego.

The raids were conducted Thursday morning, with several of the targets being individuals with warrants out for their arrest, but it is unknown how many of those individuals were found in the raids.

Greg Otis, one of the residents affected by the raids, told the local news station more than a dozen officers showed up to his home early in the morning and demanded that he walk out of his home with his hands up. When he asked for a search warrant, they did not present one but said they were looking for his nephew.

‘Was It the Jabs?’: Republican Lawmaker Dies Suddenly

A top Republican lawmaker died suddenly on Sunday at the age of 55, and with no cause of death provided, some are wondering if a COVID vaccine possibly played a part.

Hugh McKean, Colorado’s House minority leader, died in his home just three days after turning 55.

“It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of House Minority Leader Hugh McKean” Colorado House Republicans tweeted Sunday. . .

The Colorado Sun reported McKean “was found dead Sunday morning after complaining of feeling unwell the day before,” adding that “information on the cause and manner of McKean’s death, which shocked the Colorado political world, has not been released.”

With many news agencies not even raising the possibility of a possible COVID-vaccine connection, J.D. Rucker at The Liberty Daily wondered “Was it the jabs?” as he blasted “the increasingly large category of conservative news outlets who refuse to mention the words ‘COVID’ or ‘vaccine’ in any story that deals with sudden inexplicable deaths of young and otherwise healthy people.” (Read more from “‘Was It the Jabs?’: Republican Lawmaker Dies Suddenly” HERE)

Paul Pelosi’s Attacker Was in the U.S. Illegally; Charlie Kirk Calls on His Audience to Bail Out Pelosi Attacker; What We Know About the Attack on Pelosi and What Questions Remain

By Daily Caller. The suspect who attacked Paul Pelosi on Friday with a hammer is allegedly in the U.S. illegally, according to Fox News.

Forty-two year-old David DePape broke into the Pelosi’s private San Francisco home on Friday and allegedly assaulted Pelosi with a hammer. DePape has since been charged with crimes including attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse.

Fox’s national correspondent Bill Melugin reported DePape is illegally residing in the U.S..

What We Know About the Attack on Paul Pelosi and What Questions Remain

By Washington Examiner. Before the criminal complaint was released, police provided limited details on the nature of the attack. However, some details seeped through the cracks.

The dispatcher, Heather Grimes, told police that the caller, Pelosi, did not know the man but said that “his name was David and then [said] he is a friend.” Grimes said Pelosi seemed somewhat confused, in her opinion, per the Los Angeles Times. . .

It is unclear how DePape managed to enter the home without raising an alarm or if the home had any additional home security beyond Nancy Pelosi’s Capitol Police security detail, which was with her in Washington, D.C., at the time of the attack. . .

Missing details about what happened on the night of the attack have left room open for conspiracy theories to develop, with several such theories having been debunked as false. One of the more notable conspiracy theories began to catch people’s attention after Elon Musk tweeted a link to a blog post speculating about the attack. The article, published on a site known for inaccurate reporting, stated that DePape was a sex worker hired by Pelosi, but there has been no proof to back up the theory.

The conspiracy theory of Pelosi and DePape’s relationship spread like wildfire after Fox News reporters spoke on air about an incorrect report from media outlet KTVU. The organization had originally stated that DePape and Pelosi were found in their underwear when the police arrived on the scene.

Charlie Kirk Calls on His Audience to Bail Out Pelosi Attacker

By Raw Story. During a segment on his livestream show, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk slammed news outlets and journalists who say the attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband this weekend is a sign that right-wing rhetoric is sparking real-world violence, saying “of course” Republicans should reject Democrats’ attempts to link them to the attack.

“Why is the conservative movement to blame for gay schizophrenic nudists that are hemp jewelry maker breaking into someone’s home — or maybe not breaking into someone’s home. Why are we to blame for that exactly,” Kirk said. “And why is he still in jail? Why has he not been bailed out? And by the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out … bail him out, and then go ask him some questions.”

Kirk’s claim that Paul Pelosi’s attacker, Dave DePape, is gay likely came from an article posted, then deleted, by Elon Musk that claimed without evidence that DePape had previously attended a gay nightclub before the attack.

Supplier Warns Americans to Brace for Fuel Shortage, Higher Prices

Fuel supplier Mansfield Energy is taking steps to prepare for a diesel shortage on the East Coast of the United States, issuing an advisory to businesses that rely on the fuel to plan rather than panic.

Last week, Mansfield Energy raised a red flag on the upcoming diesel fuel shortage in the southeastern region of the U.S., speculating it could be from “poor pipeline shipping economies” and a historically low supply of reserves.

On a normal day, the East Coast markets have 50 million barrels in storage, but right now, there are less than 25 million barrels available.

“A tight diesel supply will force prices to go up, which will eventually make it too expensive for some people,” the company said in a press release on Monday. “High prices will bring demand back down enough that it balances with limited supply.” (Read more from “Supplier Warns Americans to Brace for Fuel Shortage, Higher Prices” HERE)

Study: Outside of School, America’s Teens Average 70 Hours per Week Glued to Screens

Americans ages 11 to 18 play online for an average of 10 hours per day, according to a study out today by a research team that includes psychologist Jean Twenge, author of “iGen” and “Generation Me.”

The researchers surveyed 1,600 Americans ages 11 to 18 in May 2022. On average, the study participants reported using digital media an average of 10 hours and four minutes per day, on such entertainment activities as social media, video chat, texting, shopping, and gaming.

That’s a total of 70 hours per week spent online, approximately double the average time spent in school. If teens were suddenly banned from screen time, they could use the time freed from solely that to instead hold down both a full-time and a part-time job. Some of this average may include multitasking, such as texting while scrolling Instagram, the study said, but this total of 70 hours per week spent on screens also did not include time spent watching TV. . .

The researchers say their Institute for Family Studies and Wheatley Institute study is the first to examine the effects of family structure on young people’s screen time. They found that teens living with their own biological and married parents still spent an astonishing amount of time on screens, at an average of nine hours per day. Still, that was nearly two hours fewer per day, on average, than children living without a biological parent, who spent an average of 11 hours per day online.

“The adolescents most likely to be depressed, lonely, and dissatisfied with life are heavy digital media users in stepparent, single-parent, or other non-intact families,” write study authors Twenge, Wendy Wang, Jenet Erickson, and Brad Wilcox. “The link between excessive technology use and poor mental health is larger for youth in non-intact families compared to those in intact families.” (Read more from “Study: Outside of School, America’s Teens Average 70 Hours per Week Glued to Screens” HERE)
