‘Mr. Fix-It’ Michael Cohen Bombs on the Stand, Offers No New Evidence to Convict Trump

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. Michael Cohen apparently wants a reality show but, if his testimony Monday is any indication, reality is about to sink in for not just Cohen but the prosecutors and the court.

In stoking interest in his own appearance, the former Trump counsel promised the public that they should be “prepared to be surprised.”

Thus far, however, Cohen has offered nothing new and, more importantly, nothing to make the case for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Just before he took the stand, the New York Post revealed that Cohen has been peddling a reality show called “The Fixer,” including working with Colin Whelan, who helped create “Joe Exotic: Tigers, Lies and Cover-Up.” Whelan appears interested to stay within that genre.

The Cohen pitch came with a cheesy promo video where he promised viewers, “I am your fixer.” (Read more from “‘Mr. Fix-It’ Michael Cohen Bombs on the Stand, Offers No New Evidence to Convict Trump” HERE)

Legal Adviser Declares Jury ‘Will Believe’ an Atoned Michael Cohen

By Washington Examiner. Michael Cohen’s legal adviser declared Monday that the ex-attorney of former President Donald Trump has atoned for his wrongdoing and will be believed by the hush money trial jury.

“Michael and I talked last night, and we recalled the journey that we’ve been on,” legal crisis manager and attorney Lanny Davis told Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “In late June of 2018, before he went public, I asked him, ‘How is anyone going to believe you after 10 years of lying for Donald Trump?’”

Cohen responded with a show of contrition and an acceptance of the consequences that would follow, according to Davis.

Supposedly Secure Messaging App Launched With Gov’t Funds, Headed By Propagandist Now Running NPR: Report

/3 Comments/in , , /by

With over 100 million users, the encrypted messaging service app Signal is touted as private and secure; however, a new report reveals the app was allegedly not only launched with government funds but is headed by National Public Radio’s (NPR) CEO, Katherine Maher.

Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist and senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, released a piece Monday about the alleged connections between the U.S. government, Maher and Signal. The platform, which prides itself on privacy for users, has been endorsed by notable figures, including National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Eric Snowden, Tesla and Space X founder Elon Musk and former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

Signal’s technological foundation, however, was originally funded “in part” by government resources, Rufo claims. The technology — used in the Facebook messaging app, WhatsApp — for the platform — which also ran as a nonprofit foundation — reportedly received a $3 million grant awarded by government agency Open Technology Fund (OTF) sometime between 2013 and 2016, according to Voice of America (VOA).

While the OTF is reportedly a spin-off of a government-funded private news service, Radio Free Asia, the technology fund claims their goal is to “advance internet freedom in repressive environments by supporting the research, development, implementation, and maintenance of technologies that counter censorship and combat repressive surveillance to enable all citizens to exercise their fundamental human rights online,” according to their site.

Awards from the OTF to technology platforms are not uncommon; a 2020 VOA report shows the government agency awarded millions to others in addition to OTF. The connection between OTF and Signal, though, is allegedly deeper than just the grant. An anonymous source who “worked extensively with OTF” claimed to Rufo that, over time, it appeared “the project was actually a State Department-connected initiative that planned to wield open source Internet projects made by hacker communities as tools for American foreign policy goals.” The initiative allegedly empowered “activists [and] parties opposed to governments that the USA doesn’t like,” Rufo reported.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A mother-of-three was mauled to death by a pack of “aggressive” dogs in Georgia. The dog attack that happened just days before Mother’s Day also left her children injured, one child suffered severe wounds from the tragic incident. The children survived the vicious animal attack thanks to the intervention by an “angel.”

A mother and her children were mauled by a pack of dogs on Thursday in Quitman, Georgia. The family was reportedly at a bus stop around 4:45 p.m. when the animal attack occurred.

Deputies with the Brooks County Sheriff’s Office responded to a complaint of multiple minors being attacked by dogs.

When officers arrived, they encountered “several aggressive dogs on the property,” according to a statement released by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. . .

The good Samaritan “helped fight the dogs off and manage to get the kids in his truck,” Williams’ sister-in-law Crystal Cox wrote in a Facebook post that included graphic photos of the horrific injuries that one of the children endured.

‘Rats on a Sinking Ship’: Joe Biden’s Staffers Turn on Each Other as Plummeting Poll Numbers Create ‘Toxic’ Work Environment — Report

/1 Comment/in , , /by

White House insiders claim Joe Biden’s falling numbers have created a “toxic” environment for staffers, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Desperate staffers are reportedly drowning in a cesspool of bitter backbiting and attempted coups as the president’s slipping poll numbers are said to have sparked fears they’ll all be unemployed if the 81-year-old fails to win a second term.

“The atmosphere has become toxic,” an insider dished to The National Enquirer. “People are acting like rats on a sinking ship, scurrying for cover and a way to save themselves. It’s a wonder anything gets decided or done.”

Sources claim the damning dysfunction became obvious in a recent failed coup against press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre — that gossips allege was masterminded by de facto communication chief Anita Dunn! . . .

However, sources snitched the miffed mouthpiece tapped top Democrats to plead with Jean-Pierre, 49, to resign because the press secretary’s uninspired answers to probing media questions — and her habit of reading replies straight from briefing binders — has reflected negatively on the administration!

Well, RFK Jr. Just Found a Radical New Way to Wipe Himself off the Map in Texas

/0 Comments/in , , /by

RFK Jr. is on a mission to shift as far left as humanly possible in record time. It’s a rather shocking sight for many, especially the Never-Trump Republicans, who once saw him as a viable alternative to Trump. Boy, were they wrong. While RFK has had some really commendable views on vaccines and has criticized the financial dealings in Ukraine, he still remains a Kennedy at heart—a detail many overlooked or let slide during the COVID jab debates. Lately, however, he’s been on a roll, dropping one radical bomb after another. From pushing for children to lob off their body parts to pushing a “Green New Deal” on steroids, RFK Jr. is checking all the progressive boxes. In fact, his latest move is so extreme that it might just erase his chances in Texas entirely.

Yep, if you think Biden’s a climate nut, buckle up, because you ain’t seen nothing yet…

The New York Post:

But make no mistake: On energy — one of the core issues that has defined the Biden presidency from its outset — Kennedy is an extremist.

His policies would go even further than Joe Biden’s, even though the president’s have weakened our security, slammed middle-class families’ budgets and set our nation backward.

A quick check of the tape reveals startling similarities between the two.

Biden declared climate change, the “only existential threat humanity faces.” Kennedy labels global warming “the biggest crisis we face globally.”

Biden vowed to “end fossil fuel.” Kennedy has bemoaned “our longtime deadly addiction to coal and oil.”

9-Year-Old Girl Attacked at School for ‘Not Being Muslim’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Police in the town of Savage, Minnesota, are now investigating an attack on a little girl at a local school by assailants, schoolchildren, who told officials they beat her up because “she wasn’t Muslim.”

Alpha News reports Minnesota mother Shawna Larson is demanding answers after her 9-year-old daughter was “jumped” on the school playground by a group of girls. . .

The report explained Larson said her daughter’s third-grade teacher and the school principal “approached her in the school pickup line” and told her what happened.

“They came up to my vehicle and informed me that there was an incident at school that day. They wanted to make it very apparent that my daughter didn’t do anything to cause this, and they told me this was a calculated incident and that she had been attacked on the playground by four other students in her grade,” Larson told the report.

“I ended up learning … this was due to her race and her religion because she wasn’t Muslim. So that was pretty jarring to hear.” (Read more from “9-Year-Old Girl Attacked at School for ‘Not Being Muslim’ (VIDEO)” HERE)

‘All These Rules for Nothing’: Former NFL Star Goes on Absolute Tirade Against Airport TSA

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .TJ Ward, an ex-NFL safety, is sick and tired of airport Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents making contact with his private parts.

An eight-year NFL veteran who last played in 2017 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ward launched an absolute nuke in the direction of airport TSA, specifically at their security checks. And this came after he took a trip recently which reportedly got a little too touchy and that Ward straight-up wasn’t a fan of.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Ward went on a tirade against airport TSA security personnel, claiming they’ve been pulling him aside to worry “about [his] ball sack.” . . .

Basically, he got patted down, and according to Ward, it was more him being sexually assaulted — and that’s a quote! . . .

Now, fortunately for me, I usually always pass through the metal detectors with no problem, but I’ve always felt like TSA goes a bit overboard with their security measures. I mean, yeah, I get it, we’ve gotta stay safe and all that jazz, but do any of y’all really like getting groped by the TSA?

Democrat-Run State About to Get Hit with 50 Cent per Gallon Gas Tax

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In today’s edition of Getting What You Vote For, the dummies in California are about to get hit with a 50 cent per gallon gas tax.

Remember, California voters have handed the Democrat party full power over the former Golden State. Democrats run everything from the governorship on down. Democrats not only hold majorities in the state legislature, they hold veto-proof majorities. In other words…

. . .

According to Triple-A, the average cost of a gallon of gas in California today is $5.29. That’s nearly $1.70 more than the national average. In some parts of California, gas costs $6.32 per gallon. The lowest cost for a gallon of gas in that Democrat-run shithole is $5.02. . .

Fox Business reports:

In September, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the state’s primary environmental regulator, reported gas prices will rise next year by about 50 cents a gallon and every year thereafter to aid in clean air efforts. The price increase does not include the existing gas tax in the state.

…

The report foresees gasoline price increases due to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard reforms that were created in 2007, likely rising by 47 cents next year and 52 cents by 2026. Diesel prices could climb by 59 cents this year and 66 cents in two years. Long-term projections suggest gasoline could surge by $1.15 and diesel by $1.50 per gallon from 2031 to 2046, with jet fuel increasing by $1.21.

Pfizer Settles Over 10,000 Cancer Lawsuits

/1 Comment/in , , /by

In a development that has largely flown under the radar, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has quietly agreed to settle over 10,000 lawsuits tied to cancer risks associated with the popular antacid Zantac, according to federal prosecutors.

The lawsuits alleged that Pfizer concealed the cancer risks posed by Zantac, a widely used heartburn medication. The settlements cover cases filed across state courts in the United States, although the financial details of the agreements have not been disclosed to the public.

While the settlements mark a significant step in resolving the litigation surrounding Zantac, they do not entirely absolve Pfizer of its exposure to claims related to the drug. The news of the settlements is likely to provide some relief to investors, as concerns about the potential financial liabilities stemming from Zantac lawsuits had previously impacted the company’s market value.

Pfizer’s decision to settle comes amidst ongoing scrutiny over the safety and transparency of pharmaceutical products. Critics argue that the case highlights broader issues within the pharmaceutical industry, including allegations of deceptive marketing practices and suppression of critical information regarding product safety.

The controversy surrounding Zantac adds to the growing list of concerns surrounding Pfizer and other pharmaceutical companies, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. While Pfizer has emphasized that it ceased the production of Zantac more than 15 years ago, questions remain about the company’s handling of the drug and its potential health risks.

Despite the settlement, the fallout from the Zantac litigation underscores broader concerns about the pharmaceutical industry’s accountability and the need for increased transparency in drug safety regulation.

A Democratic Party Megadonor Just Issued a Major Warning for Biden

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Now, let’s move to the incompetence part of this presidency. It certainly played a factor in this decision to suspend arms shipments to Israel, but does Biden think he can pull a long con over the electorate here? Does this man believe he has the smarts and skills to sell to the antisemites and pro-Hamas supporters within the Democratic Party base that he’s tough on Israel while telling American Jews that our “ironclad” support for the Jewish state will remain?

That’s the sticky wicket: Biden needs to kowtow, grovel, and appease vicious antisemites and supporters of radical Islam to keep his 2024 bid alive. It’s the ‘Keep Michigan’ page of the 2024 playbook. He loses this state, and it’s all but over. His path to 270 in the Electoral College virtually vanishes, a point where operatives on both sides agree. So, to win over the terrorist vote, Biden is playing reckless games with Israel, which is on the cusp of total victory against Hamas in Gaza.

Barak Ravid of Axios shared this message from a Biden megadonor, Haim Saban:

“Let’s not forget there are more Jewish voters who care about Israel than Muslim voters who care about Hamas.”
