Voters in Florida Arrested as Part of DeSantis Crackdown

/0 Comments/in , , /by

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

/0 Comments/in , /by

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.

/0 Comments/in , /by

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)

FBI Has ‘Voluminous Evidence’ of Hunter Biden’s ‘Potential Criminal Conduct’: Whistleblowers; Leak: Hunter Biden Attained $40M Real Estate Deal With Russian Billionaire

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. The FBI is in possession of “voluminous evidence” of “potential criminal conduct” by President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden related to his overseas business dealings with China and Ukraine, according to new whistleblower disclosures.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who previously released whistleblower claims alleging that evidence on Hunter Biden’s criminality was wrongly labeled “disinformation” within the bureau, made the revelations in a Thursday letter obtained by the Washington Examiner. It was sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss — who is running the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden.

The whistleblower allegations relate to Hunter, as well as James Biden, the president’s brother, regarding the duo’s dealings with the Chinese government-linked energy conglomerate CEFC China Energy. They also relate to the younger Biden’s work for Ukrainian gas giant Burisma Holdings. Grassley said his staff “reviewed the unclassified records” supporting the whistleblower claims.

“Based on recent protected disclosures to my office, the FBI has within its possession significant, impactful, and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden and James Biden,” Grassley said in the letter.

Leak: Hunter Biden Attained $40M Real Estate Deal With Russian Billionaire While Joe Biden Was VP

By Breitbart. Hunter Biden reached a $40 million real estate deal in 2012 with Russian billionaire and wife of the former mayor of Moscow, Yelena Baturina, while President Joe Biden was vice president.

The massive deal is connected to a previously reported $3.5 million fee Baturina paid Hunter’s real estate entity to access the American business market, the Daily Mail reported Monday from documents obtained by an anti-corruption group, the Kazakhstani Initiative on Asset Recovery.

The $40 million real estate deal was structured as a part of a pooled real estate fund to be allocated into long-term investments Hunter identified as profitable in the United States. Such investment vehicles are common among sophisticated investors and experienced fund managers. Due to the complexity of a fund’s transactions, the entity is often subject to stringent disclosures with government oversight agencies.

Hunter’s overall acquisition plan included acquiring seven office buildings throughout Texas, Colorado, Alabama, New Mexico, and Oklahoma with $52 million in cash and $160 million in leverage, the Daily Mail reported. Hunter’s real estate fund, Rosemont Realty, had apparently raised a total of $69.7 million to invest into 2.15 million square feet of office space.

Hunter’s firm put $15 million of its own money inside the fund. It is unknown where Hunter’s business firm attained such a large sum to invest within the complex investment scheme.

Killer Experiment: US Researchers Say They’ve Developed COVID Strain With 80% Kill Rate

/0 Comments/in , /by

Researchers at Boston University say they have developed a new COVID strain that has an 80% kill rate following a series of similar experiments first thought to have started the global pandemic that began in China.

The variant, a combination of Omicron and the original virus in Wuhan, killed 80% of the mice infected with it, the university said. When mice were only exposed to Omicron, they experienced mild symptoms.

The research was conducted by a team of scientists from Florida and Boston at the school’s National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories.

They extracted the spike protein from Omicron and attached it with the strain first detected at the onset of the pandemic that began in Wuhan, China. They then documented how the mice reacted to the hybrid strain.

“In…mice, while Omicron causes mild, non-fatal infection, the Omicron S-carrying virus inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80 percent,” they wrote in a research paper. (Read more from “Killer Experiment: US Researchers Say They’ve Developed COVID Strain With 80% Kill Rate” HERE)

Twitter Erupts After Biden Says Gas in California Has ‘Always’ Been $7 a Gallon

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prominent Twitters users attempted to fact-check Joe Biden after the president told a reporter that gas has “always” been $7 a gallon in California.

“The inflation report is out. Have you seen gas prices around here in LA? It’s 7 bucks a gallon almost,” a reporter asked Biden as he paid for food at a Los Angeles-based taco shop.

“Well, that’s always been the case here,” Biden replied. “You know, it’s not — what — nationwide, [gas prices] came down about $1.35, and they’re still down over a dollar. But we’re going to work on, housing is the big, is the most important thing we have to do in terms of that.”

Social media users rushed to criticize Biden for his claim about gas prices in The Golden State, making note of his attempt to pivot the conversation towards housing.

“Bidenism at its finest in LA today. High gas prices is a housing problem?,” James Gallagher, the Republican minority leader in the California Assembly, tweeted.

WATCH: Actor Cites Democratic Interference as Reason for Leaving California

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Rob Schneider shared his reaction to Tulsi Gabbard leaving the Democratic Party and compared it to his own ideology.

Schneider appeared for a television interview on Fox and Friends Wednesday. He said he wasn’t shocked to hear about Gabbard, and related to her journey leaving the party.

“I really feel like I don’t want the Democratic Party trying to run my life. And there’s not one aspect of your life that they don’t want to interfere with. I had it with them,” Schneider said. “So I got out of California and moved to the slightly freer state of Arizona.”

The actor went on to cite the regulations in San Francisco as one of the catalysts that changed his mind about his politics. Schneider said the city forced him to remove the flowerpots he had outside his home, claiming that they were toilets.

Polls Show Republicans Have the Momentum Heading Into the 2022 Midterms

/0 Comments/in , /by

A slew of polling was released over the weekend showing Republicans hold the lead and momentum heading down to the wire, with three weeks left before the 2022 midterm election.

As the Republicans are trying to take back the House and Senate, the polling shows GOP-aligned candidates have had the upper hand in multiple polls when the respondents were asked who they would vote for in this year’s congressional elections.

The New York Times/Siena College poll was taken from October 9 to 12, showing the Republicans are favored by four points with likely voters:

Republican: 49 percent (+4)
Democrat: 45 percent
Don’t know/Refused: 6 percent

. . .

As a Republican candidate currently leads on the generic ballot, much is on the line for the party in both the House and the Senate in November. (Read more from “Polls Show Republicans Have the Momentum Heading Into the 2022 Midterms” HERE)

Here’s How Much of His Presidency Biden Has Spent on Vacation in Delaware

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s no secret that President Joe Biden loves a vacation, and seems to prefer being anywhere but the White House even during national and international crises. Biden’s previous jaunts out of town saw him remain away from the Oval Office during much of the chaos that developed amid his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan — often returning to the West Wing just long enough to deliver a speech before getting back on Marine One to leave home again. More recently, Biden’s vacation to South Carolina while Americans struggle under 40-year-high inflation and a three percent-plus cut in real wages put an exclamation point on how little he apparently cares to project the image of a steady leader at the helm or empathize with Americans. No matter how it looks, Biden just can’t seem to quit his frequent, often weekly, trips out of town. . .

According to fresh reporting from — of all places — CNN, President Biden has been away from the White House at one of his two Delaware properties for more than 25 percent of his less than two years in office:

Some 21 months into his term, Biden has made 55 visits to Delaware, totaling some or all of 174 days as of Sunday, according to a CNN analysis of presidential schedules and a tally kept by Mark Knoller, the longtime unofficial statistician of the White House press corps. In addition, Biden has made 19 visits, or all or part of 64 days, to the Camp David presidential retreat in rural Maryland.

DOJ Wants Steve Bannon Locked Up for 6 Months and Fined $200,000

/0 Comments/in , /by

Steve Bannon, former Trump adviser and host of the “War Room” podcast, was found guilty of two charges of contempt of Congress by a federal jury on July 22. He reportedly refused to comply with a subpoena issued by the Jan. 6 select committee investigating the 2021 Capitol protests. On Monday, the Department of Justice recommended that Bannon be sentenced to prison for six months and hit with a $200,000 fine.

The DOJ’s sentencing memorandum, filed on October 17, accused Bannon of pursuing “a bad-faith strategy of defiance and contempt,” claiming he “flouted the [Jan. 6] Committee’s authority and ignored the subpoena’s demands.”

“For his sustained, bad-faith contempt of Congress, the Defendant should be sentenced to six months’ imprisonment—the top end of the Sentencing Guidelines’ range—and fined $200,000—based on his insistence on paying the maximum fine rather than cooperate with the Probation Office’s routine pre-sentencing financial investigation,” read the recommendation.

The DOJ also accused Bannon of employing “hyperbolic and sometimes violent rhetoric to disparage the Committee’s investigation, personally attack the Committee’s members, and ridicule the criminal justice system,” characterizing the 68-year-old’s criticisms of the committee as “attacks.”

Among Bannon’s comments cited as so-called attacks was the statement: “This is going to be the misdemeanor from hell for Merrick Garland, Nancy Pelosi, and Joe Biden. Joe Biden ordered Merrick Garland to prosecute me from the White House lawn when he got off of Marine One.” (Read more from “DOJ Wants Steve Bannon Locked Up for 6 Months and Fined $200,000” HERE)
