Transgender Kids’ Charity Trustee Resigns After ‘Minor-Attracted Persons’ Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

A trustee on the board of a UK charity for transgender children resigned Monday following an unearthed speech he had given to an organization that promotes services to people sexually attracted to minors.

Dr. Jacob Breslow, who serves as associate professor of gender and sexuality at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), tendered his resignation to Mermaids, a nonprofit whose website says it “has been supporting transgender, nonbinary and gender-diverse children, young people, and their families since 1995.”

Breslow’s resignation came after it was reported that when he had been a graduate student in 2011, he had given a presentation at a conference with the Maryland-based B4U-ACT, according to the Times of London.

B4U-ACT, which was cofounded in 2003 by Michael Melsheimer, who served four years in federal prison for aggravated sexual assault involving children, promotes services and resources “for self-identified individuals … who are sexually attracted to children and desire such assistance,” according to its website. Melsheimer died in 2010.

The organization did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment by time of publication. (Read more from “Transgender Kids’ Charity Trustee Resigns After ‘Minor-Attracted Persons’ Speech” HERE)

White House Walks Back Biden’s ‘Armageddon’ Remarks

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House on Friday attempted to take the edge off President Biden’s warnings that the U.S. could soon face nuclear “Armageddon.”

Presidential press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre attempted to allay heightened fears when speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One, returning to the administration’s official mantra that the U.S. has no indication “that Russia is preparing to imminently use nuclear weapons.”

Mr. Biden “was reinforcing what he has been saying, which is how seriously we have taken these threats about nuclear weapons as we have done when the Russians have made these threats throughout the conflict,” she said. “The kind of rhetoric we have seen is no way for the leader of a nuclear-armed state to speak, and that’s what the President was making very clear.”

Still, Ms. Jean-Pierre reiterated that the U.S. does not assess that Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to launch nukes in the immediate future.

“As I said before, we have not seen any reason to adjust our own strategic nuclear posture,” she said. (Read more from “White House Walks Back Biden’s ‘Armageddon’ Remarks” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF) board, appointed by Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, approved $715 million in grants and tax exemptions on Wednesday for a battery manufacturer with deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The SMF board, chaired by Quentin Messer and comprised of 11 members appointed by Whitmer, reportedly approved the Renaissance Zone tax exemption request and handed $175 million in state grants to a China-based company named Gotion Inc, and its billionaire chairman, who has deep ties to the CCP, in order to build a $2.4 billion electric vehicle battery parts facility in the outer part of Big Rapids.

In total, as the Detroit News reported, the $715 million in grants and tax exemptions include:

The property tax exemption granted by the board for the Michigan Economic Development Corp. will save the company $540 million over a 30-year period, according to estimates. The approval comes after three local government boards last week unanimously approved the Renaissance Zone request for the project that’s expected to create 2,350 jobs over the next decade [Emphasis added].

The $175 million in grant funding is made possible through new programs the state Legislature created at the end of 2021 to spur economic development in the state.

Senator: Hundreds of FBI Agents Resigned Amid Sexual Misconduct Allegations

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, reportedly received documents from a whistleblower showing hundreds of FBI agents resigned between 2004 to 2020 amid allegations of sexual misconduct.

Grassley’s office shared information about a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) internal report titled “Retirements and Resignations During Unwelcome Sexual Conduct Adjudications.”

According to that document:

665 FBI employees, including 45 [Senior Executive Service (SES)]-level employees have retired or resigned following an FBI or [Justice Department Office of Inspector General (OIG)] investigation into alleged misconduct, but prior to [the Office of Professional Responsibility’s (OPR)] issuance of a final disciplinary letter.

However, Grassley noted that the number could be much higher than 665 because it does not include agents who resigned or retired before or during an ongoing misconduct investigation. (Read more from “Senator: Hundreds of FBI Agents Resigned Amid Sexual Misconduct Allegations” HERE)

Arizona County Packed Polls With Democrat Workers and Wants to Bury the Paper Trail, Lawsuits Allege

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Republican Party of Arizona (RPAZ) filed a series of lawsuits earlier this week alleging that Maricopa County is violating state law by refusing to forfeit public records regarding its failure to hire an equal number of Republican and Democrat poll workers, as well as placing “burdensome requirements” on county election workers.

In the first lawsuit, the RNC and RPAZ claim that they have “repeatedly requested from [Maricopa County] the production of public records relating to the staffing and composition of polling place Election Boards, Special Election Boards, and Central Counting Boards,” but that the locality has “failed to produce or make such records available for inspection promptly, thereby disregarding their statutory obligations under the [Arizona Public Records Act].”

“The substantive integrity and perceived legitimacy of our electoral system requires that it be open and accessible to both political parties on fair and equal terms,” the lawsuit reads. “For this reason, Arizona law requires every county to ensure partisan balance in positions charged with conducting elections.” (Read more from “Arizona County Packed Polls With Democrat Workers and Wants to Bury the Paper Trail, Lawsuits Allege” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The man who allegedly carried out a deadly mass stabbing spree in Las Vegas this week is an illegal alien.

Police responded to reports of a stabbing outside the Wynn casino off of Las Vegas Boulevard just before noon on Thursday. At least two people have died from the attack and six others were injured, including three who were listed as being in critical condition.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said that the man suspected of carrying out the attack, 32-year-old Yoni Barrios, is a Guatemalan national who is illegally in the United States.

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported that the suspect had a prior criminal record in the state of California, yet he was not known to federal immigration authorities.

NY Gun Buyback Program Backfires Spectacularly

/1 Comment/in , /by

A man going by the pseudonym “Kem” showed just how useless some of New York state’s efforts to address gun violence truly are when he walked away from a buyback event $21,000 richer.

When he heard about people printing ghost guns to make money from buyback programs, he put his $200 3D printer to work. Six hours away in Utica, New York, the State Attorney General’s Office was holding a buyback event at the police department, and Kem brought 110 ghost guns with him.

It took an entire day of negotiating with the AG’s office staff, but in the end, he walked away with 42 $500 gift cards.

“I’m sure handing over $21,000 in gift cards to some punk kid after getting a bunch of plastic junk was a rousing success,” laughed Kem. “Gun buybacks are a fantastic way of showing, No. 1, that your policies don’t work, and, No. 2, you’re creating perverse demand. You’re causing people to show up to these events and they don’t actually reduce crime whatsoever.” (Read more from “NY Gun Buyback Program Backfires Spectacularly” HERE)

Biden Warns World Facing Nuclear ‘Armageddon’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden warned supporters on Thursday that the world is facing “Armageddon” due to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

“We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis,” Biden told supporters at a Democratic fundraiser in New York City. . .

“First time since the Cuban Missile Crisis we have a direct threat of the use of nuclear weapons if, in fact, things continue down the path they are going,” he said. . .

“I don’t think there’s any such thing as the ability to easily [use] a tactical nuclear weapon and not end up with Armageddon.” (Read more from “Biden Warns World Facing Nuclear ‘Armageddon’” HERE)

Feds May Have ‘Sufficient Evidence’ to Charge Hunter Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to fresh reporting in The Washington Post on Thursday, federal investigators “believe” they have “sufficient evidence to charge” President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden with crimes related to his taxes and falsifying information related to a gun purchase. Citing “people familiar with the case,” WaPo says the “next step is for the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, a Trump administration holdover, to decide on whether to file such charges.”

As Townhall has previously reported, Hunter Biden’s taxes have been the subject of significant scrutiny since the president’s son discovered his finances were being investigated in December 2020. At the time, then-President-Elect Biden characterized the situation as “vicious personal attacks.” Not quite.

When he was made aware of the investigation into his finances, Hunter Biden said he was taking the matter “very seriously” but maintained his confidence “that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.” Apparently that hasn’t been the case.

It turns out that Hunter Biden’s taxes were the subject of an inquiry even before the end of 2020, but the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, heeded advice from investigators to delay action in the federal probe “to avoid taking any actions that could alert the public to the existence of the case in the middle of a presidential election,” as Townhall reported.
