Biden Snaps Over Questions He’s Depleting America’s Reserve Oil for Political Reasons

Speaking from the White House Wednesday afternoon, President Joe Biden announced the release of an additional 15 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The announcement extends the depletion of the reserve into December as the Biden administration’s war on domestic drilling and forced transition to unreliable alternative energy continues.

Why Is the Waukesha Judge Being Lenient Toward the Parade Attacker?

Waukesha County Judge Jennifer Dorow has been dealt an interesting case with the Darrell Brooks trial. At nearly every turn, Brooks has disrupted, filibustered, and been combative with Dorow regarding her rulings or court proceedings.

Brooks’ outbursts have sometimes occurred in the presence of the jury, forcing Dorow to make them leave the room so she can admonish Brooks for his behavior. To ensure she gets Brooks’ cooperation, Dorow has had to threaten Brooks with being removed from the courtroom and participating in the trial next door via a video camera where she has the ability to mute him if he continues acting out. Brooks has been kicked out of the courtroom twice since the official start of the trial, once on the very first day and once this week. . .

Despite the threats from Dorow, Brooks has had verbal spats with her on a daily basis. At one point, Brooks ranted for almost an hour, complaining about everything from his First Amendment rights supposedly being violated to how his trial should’ve been moved to another county. This has left some viewers of the trial asking why Dorow isn’t being more forceful in shutting down Brooks’ antics.

While we can’t say with 100 percent certainty what Dorow’s reasoning is for being lenient toward Brooks’ behavior, the leading theory is Dorow is allowing Brooks to dig himself into a deeper hole. Brooks continues to question witnesses about mundane things that are irrelevant to the trial. He frequently makes a fool of himself in front of the jury, despite Dorow’s attempts to keep it out of their view.

For Every Dead Body Found, 5 to 10 More Out There: Texas Sheriff on Illegal Alien Deaths

In Texas, 70 miles north of the U.S.–Mexico border, a rural sheriff’s office spends more than 85 percent of its time on border-related issues.

Often it’s to search for illegal immigrants who have called 911 and are lost, dehydrated, or injured as they walk on private ranchland in an attempt to skirt the nearby highway checkpoint that Border Patrol operates.

Other times it’s to find a dead body.

So far this year, 79 bodies have been recovered within Brooks County’s 944-square miles, Sheriff Benny Martinez told The Epoch Times’ The Nation Speaks.

Last year, the sheriff’s office recovered 119 bodies, which was a record high. In 2020, 34 bodies were recovered. (Read more from “For Every Dead Body Found, 5 to 10 More Out There: Texas Sheriff on Illegal Alien Deaths” HERE)

Florida Board of Education Passes New Transgender Restroom Rule

The Florida Board of Education passed a new rule on Wednesday that requires school boards that allow transgender students to use bathrooms inconsistent with their biological sex at birth to notify parents of the policy.

The new rule, 6A-10.086, will mandate public and charter schools to provide “full knowledge” to parents regarding how the school’s restrooms and locker rooms are designated if they are separated for any other reasons than biological sex.

The purpose of the new law is, “To protect the fundamental rights of parents to ensure they are fully informed of how bathrooms are designated and how locker rooms, which include dressing rooms, are designated and supervised. This rule will ensure full transparency to enhance the health, safety and welfare of students when utilizing bathrooms and locker rooms and protect parental rights.”

In addition, if a school board chooses to allow any different criteria “the policy or procedure must be posted on the district’s website or charter school’s website, and must be sent by mail to student residences to fully inform parents.” (Read more from “Florida Board of Education Passes New Transgender Restroom Rule” HERE)

US Military Rated as ‘Weak’ With Worries It May Not Be Able to Win a War

The US military may not be able to win one war — let alone two — as the Pentagon struggles to keep its forces equipped against potential threats from China and Russia, according a new report on American military strength.

Years of underfunding and “poorly defined priorities” has led the military to become “weak relative to the force needed to defend national interests on the global stage,” the conservative Heritage Foundation said in its annual “Index of U.S. Military Strength.”

“[T]he current U.S. military force is at significant risk of not being able to meet the demands of a single major regional conflict,” the report said. “The force would probably not be able to do more and is certainly ill-equipped to handle two nearly simultaneous [major conflicts.]”

At the same time, the possibility of two-front fighting has increased as Russia continues to wage war on Ukraine and China grows increasingly aggressive in the Pacific, according to the report.

“In the aggregate, the United States’ military posture can only be rated as ‘weak,’” the report said. (Read more from “US Military Rated as ‘Weak’ With Worries It May Not Be Able to Win a War” HERE)

Moderna CEO Splits With CDC on COVID Booster Shots for Healthy Folks Under 50

If you’re young and healthy, you may not need a COVID booster shot despite what the CDC says, according to no less an authority than the CEO of Moderna.

While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending everyone above age five get booster shots, Stéphane Bancel begs to differ. Even though his company stands to continue profiting off its mRNA vaccine, it’s best to think of the boosters as annual flu shots, he said.

Even pro-vaccine skeptics have questioned why young, healthy people and small children need regular booster shots since they are at very little risk of suffering significant illness. Booster backers have long claimed kids should be fully vaccinated so that they won’t pass the virus on to more vulnerable adults, but a Pfizer executive acknowledged last week to European lawmakers that her company’s vaccine was never tested for preventing transmission.

Young men and adolescent boys face an elevated risk of heart inflammation known as myocarditis after the second dose of Pfizer’s and Moderna’s shots. But the CDC says the same group faces an even higher risk of myocarditis from COVID itself. (Read more from “Moderna CEO Splits With CDC on COVID Booster Shots for Healthy Folks Under 50” HERE)

Nancy Pelosi Melts Down Over Latest Polling

During an interview with MSNBC Tuesday afternoon, Speaker Nancy Pelosi shot back at host Andrea Mitchell after she was presented with polling from the New York Times showing Republicans are on track to take the House majority in November.

“The New York Times poll I think is an outlier poll, you cite one poll, but all the other polls…” Pelosi said.

“It’s also the RealClearPolitics average,” Mitchell pushed back.

Pelosi’s response comes shortly after she claimed that not only are Democrats in good shape ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, but that she was confident her party will increase their majority.

Voters in Florida Arrested as Part of DeSantis Crackdown

A suspect arrested on charges of voter fraud in Florida was left confused and in the dark by police officers for why he was being detained, newly released footage showed.

When police detained Tony Patterson in August on charges of committing voter fraud back in 2020, both the officer and Patterson appeared confused by the arrest, a video posted by the Tampa Bay Times showed.

“What is wrong with this state, man?” Patterson said as he was being taken to the police car in handcuffs. “Voter fraud? Y’all said anybody with a felony could vote, man.”

When he asked the police why they were doing this now, as opposed to in 2020, a police officer responded, “I don’t know. I have no idea, man.”

The arrests were part of Gov. Ron DeSantis’s crackdown on voter fraud, which he touted at a press conference shortly after the arrest. Those arrested, 20 in all, were convicted of murder or felony sex offenses but voted in the 2020 election despite apparent violations of the process to restore their voting rights.

Voter fraud is considered a third-degree felony, and those convicted of it could face a fine of up to $5,000 and up to five years behind bars. However, in the video, the officer said agents had reduced his bond to $1,000 in total. (Read more from “Voters in Florida Arrested as Part of DeSantis Crackdown” HERE)

Ex-Agent Refuses Cooperation With GOP’s Probe Into Bureau’s Handing of Hunter’s Laptop

Former FBI agent Timothy Thibault refused last week to cooperate with House Republicans’ probe into the bureau’s handling of Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” investigation.

“Concerning the request for an interview, because the subject matter pertains to sensitive law enforcement information and/or pending investigations, our client is not in a position to accept this invitation at this juncture,” Thibault’s attorney responded to the House Judiciary Committee on October 7.

“Our client is now retired from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. … As such, he no longer possesses an FBI laptop or mobile device, and he no longer has access to the FBI’s records and materials,” the letter added.

Thibault left the bureau in August after being accused of bias in handling the laptop investigation.

“Thibault can refuse to cooperate now, but can’t hide from a Congressional subpoena in the future,” a person close to the Republican committee told the New York Post. House and Senate Republicans plan to aggressively investigate the Biden family if they retake the House and Senate in November.

More Left-Wing Racism: Herschel Walker Attacked at Event; Called ‘House N****r’

A left-wing protester allegedly attacked Herschel Walker at a campaign event by calling the Georgia Republican nominee for U.S. Senate a “house n****r, Fox News reported.

Walker faced the racial epithets at a campaign event held outside of Columbia Towers, an apartment building primarily owned by the church Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) leads.

Fox News reported that multiple witnesses at the event, including Walker campaign staffers and media members, heard the protesters shout the slur.

“This is all a stunt. He’s nothing but a house n****r,” the protester, who identified himself as Maceo Fletcher, allegedly shouted at Walker.

A Walker campaign staffer told Fox News he heard the protester say, “He’s a joke. He tap dances, and he’s a house n****r.” (Read more from “More Left-Wing Racism: Herschel Walker Attacked at Event; Called ‘House N****r’” HERE)
