Disappointed Biden Searches for New Gas Price Message as Midterm Elections Loom

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden and top administration officials are seeking to downplay the decision from OPEC+ to cut daily oil production by 2 million barrels after steadily decreasing domestic gas prices boosted the president and Democrats’ electoral odds heading into the midterm elections.

The decision comes shortly after Biden traveled to Saudi Arabia, where the president met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and asked Saudi officials to ramp up production as a means of easing global energy prices amid the war in Ukraine.

Publicly, the White House is putting on a strong face in responding to the new cuts.

Biden himself told reporters Thursday that while his trip to Saudi Arabia “was not essentially for oil,” OPEC’s decision still comes as a “disappointment” and he thinks “there are problems” with the cuts.

“We are looking at alternatives,” the president added before departing heading to New York. “We haven’t made up our minds yet.” (Read more from “Disappointed Biden Searches for New Gas Price Message as Midterm Elections Loom” HERE)

Democrats Run a Network of Fake News Sites Designed to Promote Liberal Candidates

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrat operatives are running a scheme to convince people in battleground states to vote Left.

According to a shocking discovery by Axios, 10 swing states are being flooded with more than 50 local media outlets designed to promote liberal candidates.

Each news outlet has a non-partisan sounding name such as the Milwaukee Metro Times, the Tri-City Record, and the Mecklenburg Herald, which all push a heavy Democrat message while bashing Republican candidates.

The report reveals that the sites have just enough stories on local crime and sports to make them look like real local news outlets, however, the real mission is to hide subliminal messaging favoring Democrats.

“Each follows a similar template: aggregated local news content and short write-ups about local sports teams and attractions — interspersed with heavily slanted political news aimed at boosting Democratic midterm candidates and attacking Republican opponents,” Axios said.

Students Nationwide Face Pressure to Become LGBT

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a small, conservative town in North Dakota, 12-year-old Rebecca has faced unrelenting pressure from friends to announce an LGBT identity. It’s a pressure she doesn’t want or need, according to her mother, Sarah.

The two asked to have their full names withheld to prevent them from being identified, which, they fear, would exacerbate the problem.

Rebecca has helped care for a terminally ill relative, and wants to be a nurse one day, said Sarah. The middle-schooler values her friends and does great in school.

But a few years ago, she was sexually abused by another girl close to her in age, who made unwanted advances and touched her inappropriately, Sarah said. She feels Rebecca isn’t even old enough to mentally process the trauma she experienced.

Among young girls, it’s a common trend now for friend groups to suddenly all announce an LGBT gender identity because it’s cool, experts say. And children often suddenly choose a new gender identity as a result of intense peer pressure, experts say. (Read more from “Students Nationwide Face Pressure to Become LGBT” HERE)

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)
