Trump Endorsement of McCarthy Did Not Get a ‘Single New Vote’

/0 Comments/in , /by

NBC’s Chuck Todd said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell’s Reports” that former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for speaker after Tuesday’s failed votes did not get a “single new vote” today. . .

Todd added, “Donald Trump, once again, was very helpful to Kevin McCarthy to the point of it got him not a single new vote. It is kind of a reminder because we have been chronicling how much power he has been losing inside the party. This is why Trump had been quiet for a while, for fear his voice doesn’t matter. I think we just found out, at least when it comes to getting Mccarthy over the finish line. He could maybe end McCarthy if he wanted to, but he couldn’t crown him.” (Read more from “Trump Endorsement of McCarthy Did Not Get a ‘Single New Vote’” HERE)

After Demonstrating 57% Remission Rate, Israeli Immunotherapy Licensed by U.S. Firm

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Israeli immunotherapy has successfully “reprogrammed the immune systems” of cancer patients, with a US-based pharma company licensing it for commercialization, its inventors revealed on Wednesday.

The treatment involves removing healthy white blood cells — T-cells — from cancer patients and adding an artificial molecule before returning the cells to the body, said Prof. Cyrille Cohen of Bar Ilan University.

The molecule gives the T-cells powers to recognize and kill cells that cause multiple myeloma, a bone marrow cancer.

Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem tested the therapy with different dose levels and found that, when given at the highest strength, 57 percent of multiple myeloma patients went into remission. Some 90% of patients given the high dose saw an improvement in their condition. . .

The innovation arms of Bar Ilan and Hadassah Medical Center announced Wednesday that they have signed a deal with Los Angeles-based Immix BioPharma for the further development and commercialization of the therapy. It is named HBI0101, with the first three letters referencing Hadassah and Bar Ilan. (Read more from “After Demonstrating 57% Remission Rate, Israeli Immunotherapy Licensed by U.S. Firm” HERE)

Entire Airport Evacuated So Idaho Murder Suspect Could Relieve Himself: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

An entire Illinois airport was evacuated Wednesday so accused quadruple killer Bryan Kohberger could relieve himself, according to a report.

Bound in shackles, the former criminology doctoral student was led from a private jet into a Flightstar in Champaign around 11 a.m. Wednesday, photos obtained by TMZ show.

At least three armed officers accompanied Kohberger, clad in a red jumpsuit, into the mini airline pit stop, which was reportedly completely evacuated so the suspected murderer could use the facilities.

Even employees were asked to leave the building during the lockdown, the outlet reported, which lasted until Kohberger re-boarded his private ride.

The 2015 fixed-wing single-engine Pilatus that is taking Kohberger to Idaho was being refueled while he was inside the empty building, eyewitnesses said. The jet is reportedly owned by the Pennsylvania State Police, whose officers are accompanying Kohberger the roughly 2,400 miles to Moscow, Idaho.

Gen. Mark Milley Complained of Becoming Political ‘Lightning Rod’ After Defending CRT in the Military

/0 Comments/in , /by

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley complained he had become a “lightning rod of politicization” in testimony to Congress on his role in the government’s response to Jan. 6, 2021 riots at the capitol, according to recently released files.

Milley expressed frustration that his comments on wanting to “understand white rage” had generated political backlash, according to a transcript of his testimony, speaking to the House select committee in November of that year. Milley defended the military’s embrace of diversity policies and Critical Race Theory (CRT) during an interrogation from House Republicans that previous summer, saying he hoped to get to the bottom of “what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America.”

“I have become a lightning rod for the politicization of the military,” Milley told Congress’s investigative body on Jan. 6 in on Nov. 17, 2021. “I am constantly strung out, as an individual and also with Secretary Austin and others… .”

Milley cited the example of his “white rage” comments, a response to Republican criticism over U.S. military academies teaching CRT fundamentals, including that racism is systemic, as an example of where he and other senior Pentagon officials were being used as a punching bag for political frustrations, the transcript shows.

“So 90 seconds with Congressmen Gaetz and Waltz result in … 4, 5, 6 months of this constant drumbeat that is very damaging, in my view, personally, to the health of the Republic,” Milley said, referring to his June testimony. He cited a “deliberate” ploy to smear and politicize military leadership.

Biden ‘Working Out the Details’ To Go to Southern Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden said Wednesday he has the “intention” to go to the southern border when he visits Mexico City from Jan. 9 to Jan. 10 for the North American Leaders’ Summit (NALS).

Biden confirmed he would be making the trip to the border, and that he’s “working out the details now,” while speaking to reporters outside of Air Force One on his return trip from Kentucky.

When he got back to the White House, Biden said he wanted to see “peace and security” and is “going to see what’s going on” at the border. He said he’ll give a speech on the topic Thursday.

Biden has not gone to the border since 2008 when he drove by as vice president, former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in 2021.

Customs and Border Patrol has experienced record-breaking numbers of illegal migrant encounters during Biden’s presidency, with 2.3 million encounters recorded in fiscal year 2022.

Special Counsel Jack Smith Returns To United States To Lead Investigations Into Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Special counsel Jack Smith has reportedly arrived back in the United States to lead investigations into former President Donald Trump after working as a prosecutor at The Hague.

Attorney General Merrick Garland tapped Smith, a former war crimes prosecutor, to be special counsel to take over two Department of Justice investigations into Trump in November. Smith accepted the appointment but was initially held back at The Hague in the Netherlands as he recovered from a biking accident.

He has since returned to the United States weeks after his appointment. His exact return date is unclear as the Justice Department has not officially announced his return to the country, according to The Washington Post. People familiar with Smith’s travels told the Post that Smith had been back in the U.S. “for some time.”

Garland appointed Smith to be special counsel after Trump announced his third run for president at an event at Mar-a-Lago in November. (Read more from “Special Counsel Jack Smith Returns To United States To Lead Investigations Into Trump” HERE)

DeSantis Puts Woke Colleges On Notice, Tells Them To Hand Over Diversity Receipts

/0 Comments/in , /by

The office of Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) requested information on diversity expenditures from state universities.

A memo addressed to Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz and Florida State University System Chancellor Ray Rodrigues, which was sent on December 28 and posted to social media on Wednesday by DeSantis Press Secretary Bryan Griffin, told the officials to gather data on diversity initiatives in the higher education system as the Florida legislature begins to consider budget proposals.

“It is important that we have a full understanding of the operational expenses of state institutions,” the memo said. “This letter is a request for information from the Department of Education and the State University System regarding the expenditure of state resources on programs and initiatives related to diversity, equity and inclusion, and critical race theory within our state colleges and universities.”

For each initiative, university administrators were told to include a brief description of the program, the number of staff positions associated with the program, the total funding used to support the program, and the portion of the funding that came from taxpayer dollars.

School District to Reportedly Require Students To Use Restrooms Based on Biological Sex

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Florida school district plans to implement policy that strictly requires students to use the restrooms based on their biological gender, according to reports.

Fox station WTVT in Tampa reported that Pasco County Schools Superintendent Kurt Browning announced the new policy during a school board meeting on Tuesday night.

“As the board is aware, over winter break, the 11th Circuit United States Court of Appeals…issued its ruling in the case of Drew (Adams) versus the school board of St. Johns County,” Browning said during the meeting. “The full appeals court overturned the trial court’s decision, which has been the controlling law until this newest decision was rendered.”

The policy change comes as the debate over diversity, inclusion, and school bathrooms continues to draw support and opposition from all sides. (Read more from “School District to Reportedly Require Students To Use Restrooms Based on Biological Sex” HERE)

Why Did Congress Remove Language From the Defense Bill Protecting Military Kids From Trans Insanity?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Schools servicing military kids are targeting parents and teachers alike who question administrators’ sexual agendas, and Congress chose to let it continue in the defense bill just signed into law over Christmas.

In November, a concerned mom posted on social media her shock at seeing “artwork” in the entrance of an elementary school that caused her 7-year-old to ask her what “polysexual” meant. The response was swift, but not in the way you might expect: An Army officer at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey called state and local law enforcement and used base security forces to monitor the supposedly unsafe situation she had created in the school district where more than half of the students are children of active-duty military personnel.

Another case from this year: A teacher at an on-base, non-Department of Defense (DOD) school who refused to use a student’s “preferred” name was consequently disciplined by the school. Such forced political ideology isn’t isolated to non-DOD schools that serve military bases; it’s also happening in federally run Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA) schools, which are schools expressly created for the children of military personnel.

Thankfully, several members of Congress have stepped up to draw attention to the political indoctrination that has infiltrated DODEA. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., introduced the Servicemember Parents Bill of Rights, which was included in its entirety in the first House-passed version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2023.

Unfortunately, the final language agreed upon by the House and Senate and signed into law by President Joe Biden on Dec. 23 was significantly watered down — and it requires no change in practice or acknowledgment of wrongdoing by DODEA.

Trump Blames Pro-Lifers for Midterm Election Fumble

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .“It wasn’t my fault that the Republicans didn’t live up to expectations in the MidTerms,” Trump posted on Truth Social Sunday evening.

“It was the ‘abortion issue,’ poorly handled by many Republicans, especially those that firmly insisted on No Exceptions, even in the case of Rape, Incest, or Life of the Mother, that lost large numbers of Voters. Also, the people that pushed so hard, for decades, against abortion, got their wish from the U.S. Supreme Court, & just plain disappeared, not to be seen again. Plus, Mitch stupid $’s!” Trump added.

The Supreme Court overturned the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade in June, handing back power to individual states to decide how to address the issue. No major Republican office holder or candidate advocated for abortion restrictions without exceptions for the life of the mother during the 2020 cycle.

Trump-backed candidates largely underperformed on Election Day. Across several battleground states including Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona, Trump loyalists from Kari Lake and Herschel Walker to Mehmet Oz and Doug Mastriano fell by the wayside in an environment that heavily favored Republicans.
