/0 Comments/in , , /by

San Francisco’s public schools chief repeatedly refused to condemn an alleged ethnic studies comparison Wednesday when pressed by Republican lawmakers during a tense congressional hearing.

Superintendent Maria Su was asked whether she agreed with curriculum that allegedly compared parents who opposed COVID-19 school policies to white families in the 1960s who avoided desegregation by moving their children into private schools.

Rep. Burgess Owens (R-Utah), who is black, asked Su whether she believed opposition to public schools was “a problem only with white parents.”

Rather than answer, Su repeatedly said she would need to review the material first.

“I would need to see the document,” Su said. “I would need to understand the context.” (Read more from “SF’s Woke Schools Boss Cannot Answer ‘White’ Parents Question from Black Congressman” HERE)

Marjorie Taylor Greene: President Donald Trump Is a ‘Traitor’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Wednesday, on CNN’s “The Source,” former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called President Donald Trump a “traitor.”

Greene said, “I’ll also never forget the text message he sent me when I told him that my son’s life was being threatened because he was calling me a traitor because I fought to release the Epstein files where he told me that I deserved it. And so this doesn’t shock me that his team was paralyzed.”

She added, “These people are absolutely absurd. They don’t deserve the American people’s trust. As a matter of fact, we should consider them as, they should be considered traitors. They’re traitors. The ones that refuse to release Epstein files want to cover up for pedophiles and rapists and all sorts of disgusting things in these files. Those are the traitors to the American people. And they should be ashamed of themselves.”

Host Kaitlan Collins said, “Are you saying that that applies to the president himself?”

Greene said, “I’m saying exactly that. He told me on the phone that his friends would get hurt, and that’s why he’s against releasing the Epstein files.” (Read more from “Marjorie Taylor Greene: President Donald Trump Is a ‘Traitor’” HERE)

Alaska Officials Investigating ‘Decoy’ Senate Candidate Over Alleged Voter Confusion Scheme

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Alaska Lieutenant Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom has launched an investigation into Daniel James Sullivan Jr., an Alaska resident who is running against Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, over concerns that his candidacy would confuse voters and undermine the election.

Dahlstrom penned a letter to Sullivan on Monday saying the Division of Elections will determine whether or not his campaign was launched in “good faith” or if he is just trying to sow confusion ahead of the August primary. Sullivan, who earned the nickname “Decoy Dan,” notably changed his party affiliation to Republican right before running for office, raising suspicions about his motivations.

“The Division of Elections has a fundamental obligation to protect the integrity of Alaska’s elections and ensure voters are not deceived about the identity of the candidates on their ballot,” Dahlstrom said in a statement Monday.

“Serious allegations have been raised concerning this filing in the race for U.S. Senate, and the people of Alaska deserve a thorough and transparent investigation to ensure that the election is carried out properly and without deception,” Dahlstrom continued.

Dahlstrom said there are “credible allegations” that Sullivan had deliberately entered the race to muddy the waters. (Read more from “Alaska Officials Investigating ‘Decoy’ Senate Candidate Over Alleged Voter Confusion Scheme” HERE)

Under-the-Radar Supreme Court Case Could End California’s Delayed Election Counts for Good

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A pending case at the US Supreme Court could put an end to delayed ballot counts — like in the recent Los Angeles mayor’s race in California — that have caused voters to lose confidence in elections, according to Republicans.

The high court in March heard oral arguments in Watson v. Republican National Committee, a Mississippi case that may result in a ruling stopping the practice of counting mail-in ballots that arrive up to five days after an election date.

It’s one of at least 14 states, along with California, New York and Texas, as well as the District of Columbia, with laws that allow for late ballots so long as envelopes are postmarked by Election Day. Around 30 states have some sort of grace period for absentee ballots as well, letting military or US citizens abroad cast their votes.

That grace period for mail ballots, which the RNC has argued is unconstitutional, is one of the reasons that Los Angeles residents still don’t know, nearly a week after, whether candidates Spencer Pratt or Nithya Raman will advance to a runoff contest in November against incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

“What’s happening in California is a Democrat failure on full display,” RNC Chairman Joe Gruters told The Post. “Nearly a week after the primary, it is completely unacceptable ballots are still being counted. That’s why the RNC is aggressively fighting in the Supreme Court to stop ballots received after Election Day from being counted. Americans deserve timely election results they can trust.” (Read more from “Under-the-Radar Supreme Court Case Could End California’s Delayed Election Counts for Good” HERE)

Congressman Massie Wants A New Investigation Into Israel Over USS Liberty Attack 59 Years Ago

/4 Comments/in , , /by

In his speech on the House floor Monday marking the 59th anniversary of the USS Liberty incident, Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie called for a new investigation into what happened during the attack, as well as a resolution honoring the men onboard.

Massie’s speech referred to a June 8, 1967 incident involving the Liberty, a U.S. Navy ship sent to collect intelligence off the coast of the Sinai peninsula where it was bombed and strafed by two Israeli fighter jets and struck by three torpedoes. The Israeli government claimed it was a case of mistaken identity, and a subsequent U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry confirmed Israel’s statement.

Massie, the survivors of the tragedy, and others continue to contest this narrative, claiming that the Court of Inquiry was invalid. Notably, a number of sailors aboard the Liberty insist the attack was deliberate.

“This was an effort to kill everybody on board. There was no intention of taking prisoners,” Massie claimed.

Speaking on the House floor, Massie relayed a conversation he had just prior to entering the chamber with some of the survivors of the Liberty and how their recollection of the event was very different from the court findings. While the Israelis claimed they did not know they were bombing a U.S. ship, the survivors recalled that the American colors were flying high on a day with unlimited visibility.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Trump-appointed federal judge in Idaho is facing criminal charges after a heated confrontation over parking which saw him snatch a man’s glasses from his face and stomp on them, according to reports.

Judge Ryan D. Nelson, who sits on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, is facing one misdemeanor count of battery and one of malicious injury to property for allegedly knocking another man’s glasses off his head and throwing them across the parking lot during the incident, The Idaho State Journal reported.

The confrontation occurred in early April when a driver pulled into a parking space and allegedly verbally criticized the judge’s parking twice, the unnamed man told the Idaho State Journal.

“That’s when [Nelson] went crazy,” the man told the newspaper. After the verbal spat, Nelson allegedly took the man’s glasses, threw them across the parking lot and stomped on them.

Nelson pleaded not guilty to both charges in May, according to a court docket. (Read more from “Trump-Appointed Federal Judge Criminally Charged after Confrontation over Parking Saw Him ‘Stomp’ on Man’s Glasses” HERE)

James Talarico Calls Biden’s Border ‘Utter Chaos’ In Attempted Immigration Rebrand

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Democratic Texas Senate nominee James Talarico slammed former President Joe Biden’s border policies in an apparent immigration rebrand during a podcast episode released Monday.

Talarico is currently running for U.S. Senate in Texas and while running for the Democratic nomination in January he said there should be a “welcome mat” at the border. However, months later he framed himself as a “border security Democrat” during his appearance on the “Cogdell Law Uncensored” podcast.

“I called out Joe Biden for failing to secure our southern border and I got a lot of heat in my own party for doing that. But I remember talking with my colleagues in the legislature who represent border communities and they told me about the utter chaos caused by President Biden’s policies and the Democratic Party,” Talarico told the Podcast’s host, attorney Dan Cogdell.

“And so, I’m a border security Democrat,” Talarico added.

This comes after Talarico said, ” Our southern border should be like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome mat out front,” in a Jan. 24 primary debate against Democrat Jasmine Crockett, who he defeated in March.

NBC Reporter’s Six-Word Claim about California Elections that Caused Trump to Storm Off

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An NBC News reporter’s comments about California’s elections and the 2020 presidential race caused President Trump to storm out of their interview Sunday.

Kristen Welker sparred with the commander-in-chief over his claims the state’s voting was rigged as the counting continues and Democrat candidates suddenly enjoy a late stream of votes from mail-in ballots.

“That’s how they vote in California,” Welker replied after Trump pointed to the state’s still-unfinished ballot count as proof that something nefarious was happening.

The tense moment came during an interview on “Meet the Press,” when the president revived his longstanding allegations about election integrity while discussing California’s primaries.

The exchange became increasingly heated before Trump accused the network of bias and cut the interview short.

“It’s happening again right now in California,” Trump said, referring to the state’s vote-counting process. “This is happening right now in California, right now. It’s four days.” (Read more from “NBC Reporter’s Six-Word Claim about California Elections that Caused Trump to Storm Off” HERE)

Fidel Castro’s Daughter Gives Jaw-Dropping Reply when Asked About Rumors that Late Cuban Dictator is Justin Trudeau’s Real Father

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The daughter of the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro gave a surprising answer when asked if she is the half-sister of former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.

Theories that the Cuban communist revolutionary fathered Justin have circulated since Castro died in 2016, with some pointing to physical similarities between the two.

The rumors resurfaced several times in the years since, particularly as his mother admitted to having a relationship with Castro, and after Castro’s eldest son left a suicide note referring to Justin as his half-brother.

Fact-checkers, however, maintain there is no evidence that the Canadian is Castro’s son because his mom, Margaret, did not visit Cuba and meet Castro until four years after he was born.

But Castro’s daughter, Alina Fernandez, may have just reignited the rumors once again after she refused to deny the rumors in a recent interview with NewsNation.
