‘Bunch of BS’: Attendee at Trump’s CEO Meeting Refutes Media Reports

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Former President Donald Trump delivered a “focused” pitch to America’s top CEOs and received a loud ovation at the conclusion of his Business Roundtable remarks Thursday, an attendee at the meeting told The Daily Signal.

That’s a stark contrast to reporting from New York Times columnist and CNBC host Andrew Ross Sorkin, who told “Squawk Box” viewers Friday that Trump was “meandering, could not keep a straight thought, was all over the map.” Sorkin was not present at the Business Roundtable meeting.

Hours later, White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates amplified Sorkin’s spin on X. CNBC and other liberal media outlets ran with the story, and an MSNBC blogger suggested Trump’s appearance raised “concerns about his cognitive state.” . . .

“It’s a clear bunch of BS,” according to the attendee. “This is a farce all the way around.”

News outlets mostly stuck to the substance of Trump’s remarks in their initial coverage Thursday: He spoke about cutting corporate taxes from 21% to 20%, after reducing the rate from 35% during his presidency.

Dan Bongino With the Most On-Fire, Righteous ‘Deep State’ Rant You’ll Ever Hear

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Every once in a while, you stumble upon a rant that’s so raw, so virtuous, and so fiery that it ignites a spark in your soul. That’s exactly what happened when former Secret Service agent and Trump loyalist Dan Bongino let loose in a blistering tirade against the Deep State. This was an unbridled outburst, a mix between a defiant “F YOU” and a rallying cry for Americans to stand up against these unelected tyrants, including the chief unelected dictator, Joe Biden himself.

Bongino lays it all out, clearly explaining to the American people exactly what these scumbags are up to, both publicly and behind the scenes. From employing classic Marxist tactics to projecting and blaming decent Americans for the very misdeeds they’re committing, Dan recalls the 51 intelligence officers who falsely claimed Hunter’s laptop was ‘Russian disinformation,’ and how these same deceivers are now warning that Trump’s reelection would jeopardize national security. Are you kidding me? After these traitors have tried to dismantle the very foundations of our country and betray everything our Founding Fathers fought for, they sure have some nerve.

And that’s exactly what Dan zeroes in on. He says that when President Trump retakes the White House, an investigation will be demanded, and Joe Biden will be held fully accountable. But don’t expect these Deep State players to come around—they won’t suddenly embrace “truth and justice” and reform. No, they need to be dealt with the same relentless, uncompromising way they’ve treated Trump and his supporters—zero mercy.

Mike Benz: Once You Understand That Hunter Biden Was a CIA Intelligence Asset, Everything Makes Sense…

/1 Comment/in , , /by

If you take a step back and look at things from a different angle, everything starts to make a lot more sense. Instead of just seeing Hunter Biden as some perverted crackhead who grew up with a silver crack pipe in his mouth, what if we saw him as something more sophisticated, like a well-groomed CIA asset? This twist adds a whole new layer to the long-standing drama around the Biden crime family.

Mike Benz, the director of the Foundation For Freedom Online, has been all over this idea. He’s been suggesting for a while that Hunter might be more than he appears. Back in September, Mike highlighted growing evidence that suggests Burisma was part of a CIA operation during Biden’s VP days, which focused on controlling Ukraine’s energy sector. He even pointed to an article with photos of Ambassador Yovanovitch meeting Burisma officials after being flagged about their corrupt dealings. That article is below.

Just the News:

Photos deleted from the now-defunct Burisma Holdings website show former U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch met with Vadim Pozharskyi—the Burisma official who worked closely with Hunter Biden—at two separate events after she had been told the Ukrainian energy company was considered corrupt by the State Department.

The photos are likely to raise fresh questions about parts of Yovanovitch’s testimony to Congress during former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment. It also raises the question of why the U.S. embassy in Ukraine engaged with company representatives in a public relations campaign with the U.S. government at the same time that internal embassy communications focused on the company’s corruption.

Photos obtained from the now-deleted Burisma website and the U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC) show that Yovanovitch attended two meetings hosted by the USUBC in Kyiv with Vadim Pozharskyi, the Burisma executive who met with then-Vice President Joe Biden and appears frequently in Hunter Biden’s emails.

The Burisma website also referenced one other meeting, though no photos were provided. Pozharksyi—the corporate secretary who ran the day to day operations with the board of the company—was at the epicenter of Burisma’s public relations campaign to close down investigations into the company by former Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

Yovanovitch testified at Trump’s first impeachment because she served as the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine when Trump made the infamous phone call to the newly inaugurated Ukrainian President, Volodymr Zelensky.

In her October 2019 testimony as part of the first Trump impeachment inquiry, Yovanovitch told congressional investigators that Burisma—and Hunter Biden’s role with the company—was not a focus during her time at the embassy.

Honestly, there’s a whole lot about Hunter Biden that flies under the radar, including his involvement in a business that thrives on a steady flow of illegal immigrants. Could this be why his father threw open the floodgates, sparking a massive invasion at the border? It seems like a rhetorical question in light of everything we know about this criminal family.

New Face of Election Integrity Lays Out November Game Plan

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two weeks after Nikki Haley dropped out of the Republican presidential primary, Donald Trump quickly moved to stack the Republican National Committee (RNC) with his own leadership.

The former president’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, and North Carolina GOP Chair Michael Whatley took over as co-chairs, while senior campaign adviser Chris LaCivita was named chief of staff. But the changes didn’t stop there — election integrity staff were asked to reapply for their positions while the unit got a new leader of its grassroots operation: Christina Bobb.

A former One America News anchor and lawyer for Trump, Bobb was named senior counsel to the RNC’s election integrity team following the takeover by the campaign. With less than five months before the 2024 election, Bobb has gotten right to work to fill in what she described as “gaps” in the previous RNC leadership’s election integrity strategy.

“What the grassroots have been complaining about, and people who were crying out to the Trump campaign were saying, ‘Hey, we’re trying to get involved and we’re having a hard time getting involved. What do we need to do?’ So that’s my top priority, making sure people who want to be involved have a way to get involved in what we’re doing, whether it’s directly with the RNC, or more likely with the state parties,” Bobb told the Caller.

Since starting at the RNC, Bobb’s sole focus has been at the grassroots level, while other staffers continue their work on the litigation side. Part of the grassroots push is the party’s “Protect the Vote” initiative, which helps people across the country sign up to be credentialed to help as poll workers, challengers or observers.

FBI Interrogates Co-Workers About Whistleblower’s Views On COVID Vax, Trump, And Second Amendment

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The FBI Security Division questioned employees about a fellow agent’s views on COVID vaccines, Donald Trump, and a Second Amendment rally, according to whistleblower disclosures made to the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General on Saturday. This revelation raises more concerns that the FBI’s leadership has become hopelessly politicized and seeks to purge itself of agents with certain disfavored views.

Late Monday, The Federalist obtained a copy of the June 8, 2024, letter sent by Empower Oversight on behalf of its client, an unnamed whistleblower and now-retired FBI agent, to Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Enclosed with the letter were three separate interview forms used by the FBI Security Division in questioning co-workers about the whistleblower.

The preprinted document opened by stating that the Clearance Investigations Unit was conducting an administrative investigation regarding allegations that the agent had engaged in conduct that called into question his ability to maintain a top-secret security clearance. The introductory comments then informed the FBI employees that they had a duty to reply to the questions and that failure to reply fully could result in their own security clearances being revoked.

A series of questions followed, with co-workers quizzed on whether the agent under investigation had: “Vocalize[d] support for President Trump?” “Vocalized objection to COVID-19 vaccination?” “Vocalized intent to attend 1/6/2021?” The FBI Security Division also required co-workers to state whether they were aware the target of the investigation had attended the Richmond Lobby Day event, which is an annual Second Amendment rally in Virginia.

The Empower Oversight letter stressed the impropriety of these questions by quoting the Supreme Court’s pronouncement: “If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.” (Read more from “FBI Interrogates Co-Workers About Whistleblower’s Views On COVID Vax, Trump, And Second Amendment” HERE)

Newly-Deciphered Manuscript Reveals Oldest Known Record of Jesus’ Childhood

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A recently deciphered manuscript dating back more than 1,600 years has been identified as the earliest known account of Jesus Christ’s childhood, marking an extraordinary discovery in early Christian literature.

The manuscript, written on papyrus in the 4th or 5th century, had been stored unnoticed for decades in a Hamburg library. Initially thought to be an insignificant document, it has now been decoded by two experts who reveal it as the earliest surviving copy of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas.

“The papyrus fragment is of extraordinary interest for research,” stated Lajos Berkes, a theology lecturer and one of the decipherers, in a press release. Initially mistaken for a mundane document due to its clumsy handwriting, the manuscript was identified as significant upon the recognition of the name Jesus within the text. Through careful comparison with other digitized papyri, Berkes and his colleague were able to decipher the text letter by letter, confirming its importance.

The fragment contains 13 lines in Greek letters, originating from late antique Egypt, a region that was a Christian society at the time. It narrates the “vivification of the sparrows,” a story where a young Jesus turns 12 clay sparrows into living birds. According to the text, a five-year-old Jesus was playing by a stream, molding sparrows from clay. When rebuked by his father Joseph, Jesus clapped his hands, bringing the clay figures to life. This tale is recognized as Jesus’ second miracle in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas.

The Infancy Gospel of Thomas, dating back to the 2nd century, depicts various stories from Christ’s childhood and was popular in Antiquity and the Middle Ages. However, the text was not included in the Bible due to doubts about its accuracy among early Christian writers. Previously, the oldest known Greek version of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas was an 11th-century codex. The newly-deciphered papyrus fragment predates this by 600 years, making it a remarkable find.

Gabriel Nocchi Macedo, the other expert involved in the decoding, emphasized the significance of their findings. “Our findings on this late antique Greek copy of the work confirm the current assessment that the Infancy Gospel according to Thomas was originally written in Greek,” Macedo stated.

Biden’s Anti-Gun Speech Was a Trainwreck (VIDEO)

/2 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden delivered an anti-gun speech hours after his son, Hunter, was convicted on federal gun charges. It’s no shock that White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre opted not to brief the press, scurrying away like a scared wombat to avoid the obvious questions about this part of Biden’s schedule. Biden delivered this address at Everytown for Gun Safety’s Gun Sense University in Washington, D.C. It was an absolute trainwreck.

The father of a gun felon delivering a speech on gun control—you can’t make that up. It was riddled with inaccuracies and overall strangeness. Biden spoke about how he convinced a Delaware fisherman to relinquish his “assault weapon.” Then, there was this jabberwocky about magazines that could carry “200 shells,” botched a Thomas Jefferson quote, spoke about teaching jobs he never had, and then trotted the lie that no one could own a cannon. The president also said that guns kill more children than car accidents or cancer and that the gun industry is the only sector protected by a legal shield–all of which are lies.

This Reporter Had the Perfect Response to the Leftist Lunacy Over Israel’s Hostage Raid

/1 Comment/in , , /by

All that can be said about his clip is well done. Sky News Australia’s James Macpherson is a gem for standing up to the lunacy that’s pervaded his industry and academia when it comes to Israel. In eight minutes, his commentary shreds the leftist lunacy over Israel’s justified war in Gaza against Hamas. Last weekend, four Israeli hostages were rescued. Some 100-200 Palestinians were reportedly killed in the raid, which sparked outrage from the antisemitic and anti-Israel clowns who think genocide is being committed in the region.

Civilians were detaining these hostages in apartments in densely populated areas. Hamas terrorists fired rocket-propelled grenades and other ordinances to fend off IDF forces. What’s puzzling Macpherson is why are so many people angrier at Israel for rescuing its hostages than the Hamas thugs who took them over 246 days ago. He also gave some helpful tips, albeit tongue-in-cheek, like if you don’t want to die or have your apartment blown up, maybe don’t keep hostages there.

Second, is anyone curious as to why Hamas was firing grenade launchers into densely packed areas where people would get killed? Is it because they never cared about the civilian population, which explains why bomb shelters for civilians were never built in case the IDF launched an offensive operation in the region, operations that IDF forces provide forewarning? With these operations, no warnings were given for one simple reason: it would have led to the deaths of the hostages.

The Left is mourning the deaths of terrorists, and, as Macpherson noted, it’s ridiculous. He spoke at length about the tweet posted by Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, which is so dense, so detached from reality, and offensively anti-Israel that it only warrants how Macpherson responded to it: “Honestly, some things are so stupid, you’d have to be a UN official to say them.” (Read more from “This Reporter Had the Perfect Response to the Leftist Lunacy Over Israel’s Hostage Raid” HERE)

VIDEO: Biden Completely Freezes While Kamala, Trans Man Dance Mindlessly Beside Him; Another Apparent Breakdown

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden sparked concerns Monday night when he appeared to freeze for the better part of a minute before his speech became slurred past the point of comprehension during a lively Juneteenth celebration at the White House.

During the event ahead of the national holiday next week, the Commander-in-Chief seemed to short-circuit as the rest of the crowd, including Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, grooved along to the lively band.

Philonise Floyd, brother of the late George Floyd, flanked Biden on his left and eventually noticed the concerning pause he was taking and wrapped his arm around him in an apparent effort to help.

Floyd was able to get a response out of Biden when he extended a ‘pound it’ fist in his direction, which the president met with his own fist. But Biden would go on to further meltdown as he delivered a speech following the musical performance. . .

Following Biden’s jarring freeze-up, he delivered a message about Juneteenth to the audience, but suffered another deeply off-putting moment, when his speech became slurred beyond comprehension.

We’re Libertarians Who Refuse To Vote For The Party’s Ridiculous Presidential Candidate

/3 Comments/in , , /by

I’m a libertarian, but I’m totally turned off by the party. And I’m not alone, especially now that Chase Oliver is its 2024 candidate.

Although libertarian ideology has mass appeal, the party has consistently alienated voters with outlandish antics and out-of-touch nominees, and this election cycle is no exception.

Since Oliver won the Libertarian primary late last month, the former Georgia Senate candidate has been going viral for some of his more lefty stances.

In resurfaced clips, the 38-year-old has been dragged for publicly advocating for defunding the police “until [they] restore trust with the people,” describing drag queen story hours as “performance art,” advocating for open borders and defending gender-affirming care for transgender kids as “the status quo.”

The fundamental libertarian principle is “live and let live,” and there are certainly libertarians who embrace that ethos on both the political right and the left.

But the party is making a massive error by choosing a hard-left-leaning libertarian with values destined to turn off Republicans who might be looking for an alternative in 2024. (Read more from “We’re Libertarians Who Refuse To Vote For The Party’s Ridiculous Presidential Candidate” HERE)
