Ron DeSantis Proposes Raising Minimum Penalty for Child Rapists to Life in Prison with No Parole

/0 Comments/in , /by

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is proposing raising the minimum penalty for particularly repugnant crimes, including child rape, as part of his greater pitch for “anti-crime” legislation, which his administration hopes to make a reality this legislative session.

DeSantis announced the proposal, which he believes will help build upon the Sunshine State’s low crime rate, on Thursday.

“Our crime rate is at a 50-year low. Overall crime [is] down nearly 10 percent year over year, murder down 14 percent, burglary down 15 percent, and robbery down 7 percent year over year,” DeSantis said during a press conference on the topic.

DeSantis noted that he was recently in Philadelphia, explaining that their murder rate is reaching “levels they haven’t seen in decades.”

“Retail theft, all kind of burglaries, all this stuff, and that’s a direct result of the policies that they have embraced to go very soft on crime and to give the criminals the upper hand,” he said, making it clear that Florida, under his leadership, will not make the same mistake.

Treasury Withholds Biden Family Suspicious Bank Records, Comer Threatens Subpoena

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Treasury Department on Wednesday denied the House Oversight Committee’s request to disclose 150 suspicious reports flagged by U.S. banks concerning Biden family business transactions, causing the committee’s chairman to threaten a subpoena.

U.S. banks have flagged over 150 suspicious financial transactions from Hunter and James Biden, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), House Oversight Committee chair, told Breitbart News. The wire transfers included “large” amounts of money tripped for further review by American banks.

Wire transfers are widely used by money launderers. To mitigate the risks to the financial institutions, suspicious wire transfers over $10,000 are flagged for review. Wire transactions involving more than $10,000 are also to be reported to the Internal Revenue Service.

Comer demanded the Treasury on January 11 to turn over the suspicious bank records. But the Treasury denied Comer’s request, citing “improper disclosure” of relevant information that could reduce the Biden administration’s ability to “conduct of law enforcement, intelligence, and national security activities.” (Read more from “Treasury Withholds Biden Family Suspicious Bank Records, Comer Threatens Subpoena” HERE)

WATCH: Video Game Manager Says Trans Activist Got Her Fired

/0 Comments/in , /by

A woman recently fired from a video game company said a transgender activist led the charge to make her lose her job because she followed conservative accounts on Twitter.

Kara Lynne lost her position at Limited Run Games on Jan. 6 after the activist labeled her “a transphobe who follows a veritable who’s who of right-wing transphobic creeps,” according to a report.

“The funny thing about it is … I follow accounts of every political affiliation,” Lynne told Fox News host Tucker Carlson Thursday. “I am the type of person who likes to see from every direction, so I follow a variety of accounts.”

Lynne had been with Limited Run Games since November 2020, but the company became worried about the negative backlash she was receiving, she said.

“It was more of the publicity it was getting,” according to Lynne. “That was the main thing. They had no qualms with who I followed or anything like that.” (Read more from “WATCH: Video Game Manager Says Trans Activist Got Her Fired” HERE)

Police Chief: Video of Black Officers Beating Tyre Nichols as Bad as Rodney King Assault

/0 Comments/in , /by

Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn “CJ” Davis said the video of Memphis police officers beating Tyre Nichols earlier this month is perhaps worse than the infamous Rodney King footage. . .

King was beaten by a group of Los Angeles Police Department officers in 1991 in an attack that was captured on civilian video. The attack later spawned the 1992 Los Angeles riots, which resulted in dozens of deaths, after a jury acquitted or couldn’t reach a verdict for excessive force on the officers involved.

Memphis police say they pulled over Nichols on Jan. 7 around 8:30 p.m. for “reckless driving” near Raines Road and Ross Road in Memphis. A “confrontation occurred” during the stop, at which point Nichols ran away from police on foot. Officers pursued the 29-year-old and attempted to apprehend him, police said, and they said an ambulance was called when he complained of shortness of breath. He died at the hospital on Jan. 10.

Nichols family attorneys said Tuesday that following an independent autopsy on Nichols’ body carried out by a “highly regarded, nationally renowned forensic pathologist,” preliminary findings indicated that “Tyre suffered extensive bleeding caused by a severe beating.” They also said Nichols’ “observed injuries are consistent with what the family and attorneys witnessed on the video of his fatal encounter with police on Jan. 7, 2023.”

The five officers involved – Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills, Jr. and Justin Smith – were fired after an internal review of their actions, and they now face second-degree murder charges, along with several other felonies.

George Santos Accused of Online Jokes About Hitler, ‘the Jews and Blacks’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Disgraced Long Island Rep. George Santos allegedly made tasteless jokes about Adolf Hitler and “the Jews and blacks,” according to an alarming new report.

The Republican congressman — who claimed to be a “proud American Jew” during his campaign before admitting to The Post last month that he was “clearly Catholic” — purportedly made the wisecrack in a Facebook thread obtained by Patch.

The since-deleted comment was a reply to a March 2011 post from a friend who suggested that a photo of someone saluting looked “something like Hitler,” the outlet said.

“hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh hiiiiiiiiiiiitlerrrrrrrrrrr (hight hitler),” Santos replied, according to a screenshot of the chat shared by a former friend, Patch said. . .

“The Jews and black mostly lolllolol!!! Dum,” he concluded, according to the screenshot shared by Patch. (Read more from “George Santos Accused of Online Jokes About Hitler, ‘the Jews and Blacks'” HERE)

Tucker Carlson Accuses ‘Flamboyantly Pure’ Pence of Collaborating With Feds to Nail Trump in Docs Case

/8 Comments/in , , /by

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson has a different take on the reports involving former Vice President Mike Pence and the classified documents found at his Indiana home.

According to Mediaite, Carlson attacked the former vice president as he accused him of conspiring with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to bring down former President Donald Trump as his classified documents investigation continues.

The conservative primetime host made the remarks during his segment of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Tuesday, January 24. He opened the discussion by highlighting what he describes as “unexplained weirdness.” . . .

“So here’s the latest example of unexplained weirdness in the news,” Carlson opened the broadcast. “Mike Pence, of all people, has just swooped in to save Joe Biden. Yes, Mike Pence, a man so flamboyantly pure he won’t have dinner with ladies, not his wife. And yet Mike Pence also had secret documents in his house, just like Joe Biden!” . . .

“We can’t say for certain, but it’s entirely possible; in fact, it’s likely that Mike Pence was asked to do this by federal prosecutors who are trying to build a case against his old boss, Donald Trump,” Carlson explained.

Mike Pompeo Accuses Schiff of Leaking Classified Documents

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) of leaking classified information during his time as chairman on the House Intelligence Committee.

Pompeo did not provide any proof or explanation as to what was in the allegedly-leaked documents. However, he said during a Fox News interview that Schiff “almost ruined the committee” with his leadership.

“Adam Schiff lied to the American people, and during my time as CIA director and secretary of state, I know that he leaked classified information that had been provided to him,” he said.

The former secretary said “it’s a complicated process” when asked why he did not take action against Schiff, adding that it is “difficult to pin down precisely what happened.” (Read more from “Mike Pompeo Accuses Schiff of Leaking Classified Documents” HERE)

Despite (Or Because Of) Mass Vaccination, COVID-Related Cardiovascular Deaths Skyrocket

/0 Comments/in , /by

Heart disease remained among the leading causes of death, even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have exacerbated preexisting CVD morbidity-related racial/ethnic disparities, researchers reported.

In 2020, more than 3.3 million deaths were registered in the U.S., which exceeded the 2019 figure by more than 500,000 deaths, according to the American Heart Association’s annual Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics update.

CVD-related deaths in the U.S. increased from 874,613 in 2019 to 928,741 in 2020, the highest single-year occurrence of CVD deaths since 2003, according to the AHA report.

“While the total number of CVD-related deaths increased from 2019 to 2020, what may be even more telling is that our age-adjusted mortality rate increased for the first time in many years and by a fairly substantial 4.6%,” Connie W. Tsao, MD, MPH, FAHA, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, attending staff cardiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and volunteer chair of the statistical update writing group, said in a press release.

COVID Lab Leak Theory Blown Wide Open as Report Exposes ‘Reckless’ U.S.-Funded Wuhan Tests

/0 Comments/in , /by

A damning report has added weight to the theory that COVID-19 originated from a lab leak in Wuhan after a watchdog claimed US-sponsored virus experiments in China were not effectively monitored. An audit by the US Office of Inspector General has called out the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for failing to properly review whether lab tests underway in Wuhan involved pathogens had the potential to spark a pandemic.

The federal audit examined three US taxpayer-funded research grants. They went towards NIH-supported research to understand naturally occurring bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which had funds sent via a sub-award from the NIH grantee called EcoHealth Alliance.

But the report has blasted the NIH, the US’s medical research agency, for failing to ‘effectively monitor or take timely action to address EcoHealth’s compliance with federal laws.

The audit also found that both NIH and EcoHealth also failed to “understand the nature of the research conducted, identify potential problem areas, and take corrective action”.

The lab tests involved enhanced viruses that had been purposely engineered to be more infectious or deadly – referred to in the science world as “gain of function”. (Read more from “COVID Lab Leak Theory Blown Wide Open as Report Exposes ‘Reckless’ U.S.-Funded Wuhan Tests” HERE)

JK Rowling’s Latest Statement Strikes at the Heart of Trans Identity

/0 Comments/in , /by

Just when you thought J.K. Rowling couldn’t be a bigger supporter of real women, she went viral for an epic defense of our sex shared to Twitter on Wednesday.

“Men defining what a woman is, what women should and shouldn’t fear, what women should and shouldn’t say, what rights women should be fine with giving up and, of course, what constitutes ‘real’ misogyny: get a bloody mirror. That’s real misogyny, looking right back at you,” Rowling wrote to her almost 14 million followers.

In my opinion, it is impossible to refute a single thing that Rowling said in the tweet, which raked in more than 50,000 likes in just a few hours. So much of the transgender movement depends on men choosing how to define what a woman is … and it’s revolting.
