Republican introduces ‘Laken Riley Act’ to force ICE to retain illegal aliens for theft, says tragic murder is a ‘wakeup call’

/0 Comments/in /by

In response to the brutal murder of Laken Hope Riley, a Republican lawmaker has introduced legislation that would require the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain any illegal immigrants charged with theft or burglary.

Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) introduced the Laken Riley Act on Friday, which would “require the Secretary of Homeland Security to take into custody aliens who have been charged in the United States with theft, and for other purposes.”

The bill is dedicated to Laken Riley, the 22-year-old college nursing student who was recently murdered on the campus of the University of Georgia. Riley died from blunt force trauma.

The suspect in the horrific slaying is 26-year-old Jose Antonio Ibarra — an illegal immigrant from Venezuela. He has been charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, kidnapping, hindering a 911 call, and concealing Riley’s death.

Suspicious Death: What Did Mitch McConnell’s Sister-In-Law Know?

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

The death of Angela Chao, CEO of the New York-based Foremost Group, sister to former U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, and sister-in-law to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, is now being investigated as a crime following a car crash in Texas, according to recent reports.

Chao, 50, was found dead in her sinking vehicle in a pond on a ranch in Johnson City, near Austin, on February 11. The ranch is reportedly owned by a corporation connected to her husband, Jim Breyer.

Emergency medical services personnel attempted to save her, but unfortunately, as stated by the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office in a statement to the Austin American-Statesman, she “succumbed from being under the water.”

Multiple media reports have highlighted a letter to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton from the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office, which described the crash as “not a typical accident.”

Chao was the chair and CEO of the Foremost Group, a company her parents founded in 1964. She had worked her way up through the ranks, previously serving as vice president and focusing on ship operations and management, before being promoted to senior vice president with additional responsibilities. She eventually became CEO in 2018. (Read more from “Suspicious Death: What Did Mitch McConnell’s Sister-In-Law Know?” HERE)

Republican State Senator Says Christian Constituents ‘Don’t Want That Filth in Oklahoma’ When Talking About LGBTQ+ Agenda

/3 Comments/in , , /by

A Republican state senator in Oklahoma isn’t backing down after he referred to certain people pushing the LGBTQ+ agenda as “filth” and infuriated many.

Sen. Tom Woods (R) was speaking at a legislative forum sponsored by the Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce when he made the comments. He was referring to the death of Nex Benedict, a transgender student at an Oklahoma high school.

“My heart goes out to that scenario, if that is the case,” he said in the recording. “But we represent a constituency. We are a Republican state – supermajority – in the House and Senate. I represent a constituency that doesn’t want that filth in Oklahoma.” . . .

“You know we are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state – we are a moral state,” he added. “We are a Republican state. I’m going to vote my district. I’m going to vote my values. And we don’t want that in the state of Oklahoma.”

Liberals and LGBTQ+ advocates pounced on the comments to accuse Woods and other Republicans of using rhetoric that led to the death of Benedict. Contrary to the media and liberal narrative, police indicated that the transgender student did not pass away directly because of a bathroom fight at the school.

WATCH: RFK Jr. Ad Takes Super Bowl Spotlight, Echoes JFK Campaign Vibes

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Super Bowl, known for its high-profile commercials, featured an ad for independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The 30-second spot, reminiscent of an ad that aired during President John F. Kennedy’s 1960 campaign, played just before halftime.

The ad, paid for by the American Values 2024 super PAC supporting Kennedy’s candidacy, recreated the iconic jingle and visuals from the original campaign. It included images of signs adorned with the Kennedy name and retro-styled photos of Robert Kennedy Jr. American Values 2024 reportedly spent up to $7 million for the coveted airtime during the Super Bowl.

Kennedy, echoing the spirit of unity and healing from his uncle’s campaign, shared the ad on social media after it aired. “Our momentum is growing. It’s time for an Independent President to heal the divide in our country,” Kennedy stated in the post.

However, not all reactions to the ad were positive. The Super Bowl ad reignited family tensions, leading to Kennedy issuing a public apology to those who felt hurt by the advertisement.

“I’m so sorry if the Super Bowl advertisement caused anyone in my family pain,” Kennedy expressed in a post. “The ad was created and aired by the American Values Super PAC without any involvement or approval from my campaign.”

House Republicans Secure Ban on Defense Department Funding ‘Disinformation’ Industry

/0 Comments/in , , /by

House Republicans have secured a provision in the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act that prohibits the Department of Defense from contracting with disinformation companies such as NewsGuard, arguing that the Pentagon should not be engaged in censorship of domestic news outlets.

The House Armed Services Committee agreed to strip many provisions of its version in negotiations with its Democrat-controlled counterpart in the Senate, but the provision targeting government funding of censorship technology remained in the final legislation, which will likely receive a vote as soon as next week.

“I am proud that House Republicans successfully fought for a provision in the FY24 NDAA that ends the far-Left’s attacks on conservative outlets,” said Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. “We will continue to defend freedom of speech against the Biden administration’s far-left overreach.”

The NDAA must pass every year to fund the military, and has become a vessel for legislation that would otherwise stand no chance to pass as a stand-alone bill. Other provisions that failed to make it into the final version include bans on the Pentagon funding drag shows and so-called “gender-affirming health care” for transgender-identifying service members.

In a statement, the Israeli government said:

The IDF provided 300 liters of fuel for urgent medical purposes for the Shifa Hospital; Hamas prevented the hospital from receiving the fuel

Last night, the IDF coordinated the transfer of fuel for urgent medical use to the Shifa Hospital.

…

Later, the IDF received evidence that Hamas officials prevented the hospital from receiving the fuel.

Students Walk Out in Protest of Bathroom Policy Allowing Biological Boys in Girls’ Bathrooms

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Students at one Ohio high school walked out of class on Monday in protest of a policy allowing biological boys to use the girls’ bathroom if they identify as transgender.

Starting around noon, dozens of students walked out of Elida High School in northern Ohio just outside Lima, The Lima News reported.

Parents and other members of the community have reportedly been protesting the school’s transgender bathroom policy for months, arguing that allowing biological boys to use the girls’ bathroom infringes on the privacy of female students.

“We’re upset about biological boys in the girls’ bathroom,” said one freshman girl who walked out on Monday. “The school board hasn’t been listening.”

“There’s been multiple accounts of boys coming in the bathroom, or transgender girls, and bothering the girls in there and we’re just not for it,” the freshman girl told WLIO. “Biological boys need to stay in their own bathroom.” (Read more from “Students Walk Out in Protest of Bathroom Policy Allowing Biological Boys in Girls’ Bathrooms” HERE)

Blue City’s Fentanyl Crisis So Bad, Officials Ask All Citizens to Carry NARCAN

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Republican Congresswoman is warning America that the fentanyl crisis – exacerbated by President Biden’s lax border policies and liberal crime policies – has gotten so bad that New York City is now calling on its citizens to carry NARCAN with them at all times to help save people whose lives are threatened by drug overdose.

“This morning our city put out an advisory that the people of the City of New York should carry around NARCAN with them – that’s how bad the fentanyl crisis has gotten,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., said at a press event with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy Wednesday – “recommending the citizens of New York walk around with NARCAN.”

NARCAN is the best-known brand for naloxone. NARCAN’s website in its “FAQs” (frequently asked questions) section describes NARCAN this way: “NARCAN Nasal Spray was designed to rapidly reverse the effects of a life-threatening opioid emergency. Is is used to revive someone during an overdose from many prescription pain medications or street drugs such as heroin and is available as an over-the-counter treatment.”

It states: “Naloxone, the active ingredient in NARCAN Nasal Spray, competes with opioids to bind the same receptors in the brain, reversing the effects of an opioid overdose in 2 to 3 minutes. This allows time for emergence medical help to arrive,” answering the question, “How does NARCAN Nasal Spray work?”

Democrats Silent on Giving Awards to Ukraine’s Transgender Spokesperson

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and Congresswoman Dina Titus have gone quiet after it emerged they both gave awards to the controversial transgender spokesperson for the Ukrainian military Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, who was recently suspended from the role over making unauthorised comments on the force’s behalf.

In December of last year, the Las Vegas City Council presented Ashton-Cirillo with a series of awards for service to the Ukrainian military. According to a broadcast from the local Fox affiliate at the time, Senator Cortez Masto and Congresswoman Titus gave Ashton-Cirillo certificates of recognition for the work done in Ukraine, allegedly including serving as a combat medic. . .

Ashton-Cirillo has come under increasing scrutiny following statements made on social media, including threats to “hunt down” people who spread supposed Russian propaganda. As Breitbart reported, Senator J.D. Vance wrote to top Biden administration officials to question if the White House supported free speech protections in Ukraine and if Ashton-Cirillo had any connections to the U.S. government or intelligence agencies.

In response, Ashton-Cirillo accused Sen. Vance of spreading “gender chaos”, while asserting that those who engage in so-called Russian propaganda could not claim to be journalists and therefore are not entitled to free speech protections and must be sent to prison as “war criminals”.

Majority of Republicans Not Worried About Trump Electability in Face of Indictments

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A majority of Republicans do not believe the indictments against former President Donald Trump will affect his ability to be elected in 2024, according to a new CNN poll.

Fifty-six percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said they aren’t seriously concerned about the effect the charges will have next year if he becomes the GOP nominee. The former president has been indicted in four different cases this year, two local and two federal, that deal chiefly with his handling of classified documents and efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

A larger portion of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents indicated that even if the charges are true, they are not relevant to his ability to serve as president. Seventy percent dismissed the charges related to alleged hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels, a porn star, as irrelevant. As for the charges over classified documents, the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, 64% said they weren’t relevant.
