Biden Is Upping the Odds That Israel Will Lose

/0 Comments/in , , /by

For all its headline support of Israel as the IDF moves to eliminate Hamas, the Biden administration is sticking to its pre-Oct. 7 approach to the Middle East — and so effectively working toward Israel’s defeat.

For starters, the Biden team still refuses to admit that Iran is pulling the strings of what Tehran calls the “Axis of Resistance”: Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza and the West Bank, Hezbollah in Lebanon and other Iranian proxies across the region.

This, when both The Wall Street Journal and New York Times have reported what US intelligence must also know: Top Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps officers helped plan the Oct. 7 attacks and coordinate followup strategies for the entire “Axis.” . . .

The Bidenites’ willful denial isn’t just a public-relations move: They’re still plainly worried about “provoking” Iran, imagining they can somehow get past this current crisis so they can get back to appeasing the mullahs.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan even admits that they’re not breaking with the approach that he’d bragged (just days before Hamas’ attacks) had “de-escalated crises in Gaza” and made the region “quieter than it has been for decades.” (Read more from “Biden Is Upping the Odds That Israel Will Lose” HERE)

Report: Female Jiu-Jitsu Contestants Quit Tournament After Being Forced to Fight Males (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

According to a report, women are abandoning the North American Grappling Association (NAGA) Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament after being forced to compete against male-born transgender opponents.

Female-born athletes are up in arms after male-born “transgender” competitor Corissa Griffith took home four gold medals at a tournament in Georgia on Oct. 21, and they are responding in force, Reduxx reports.

The issue has been roiling Brazilian Jiu-Jitzu since Sept. when female competitor Taelor Moore told fans how upset she was to be suddenly confronted by a male-born opponent without being told beforehand.

California athlete Taelor Moore faced the transgender opponent on Sept. 9 and posted the video to her Instagram page with the caption, “I weighed in at 135 … and she was over 200!”

Moore’s video shows her opponent, James McPike, 29, who recently began going by the name “Alice,” seeming to throw Moore around the mats easily. (Read more from “Report: Female Jiu-Jitsu Contestants Quit Tournament After Being Forced to Fight Males” HERE)

Biden’s New ‘Rule’ Would Force Government Thought on Millions

/0 Comments/in , , /by

China is well known for dictating what people think. Or at least what they say they think. A statement of a wrong belief can bring on trouble quickly.

Now Joe Biden’s administration is preparing to take a major step in the same direction, with a plan by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to dictate how transgenderism and abortion are addressed in the workplace.

Through its rule-making process, the EEOC is preparing to identify the simple “voicing of opposition to abortion or contraception as policy matters” as “workplace harassment.” . . .

A report in Decision Magazine explains how Biden’s strategy is to force all workplaces to become “woke,” or adopt the leftist social ideologies that Biden’s administration chooses to endorse.

The report explains that conservative and faith-based groups are alarmed at the prospect Biden’s plans will violate their free speech rights, and offend their business management plans. (Read more from “Biden’s New ‘Rule’ Would Force Government Thought on Millions” HERE)

A Quiet New Move Could Spell Disaster for Biden With Black Voters

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rule aimed at protecting black Americans could backfire in a big way on President Joe Biden.

The FDA sent the final draft of a ban on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars to the White House last week, the last regulatory step in a process that began in April 2022. Menthol cigarettes disproportionately harm black Americans and ban could save scores of lives within that demographic, health experts contend. Between 1980 and 2018, 40 percent of excess deaths due to menthol cigarette smoking were black Americans, and black Americans smoke menthols at nearly triple the rate of whites, according to the FDA.

Healthy or not, moving forward with the rule could cost Biden a number of black votes in the 2024 presidential election, retired law enforcement professionals and GOP strategists told the Daily Caller. Some even wondered why the administration would consider such a proposal at a time where Republican frontrunner Donald Trump is surging in polls and Biden’s approval rating is slumping.

“The ban could potentially create political problems for Biden,” Mark R. Weaver, a GOP consultant, told the Daily Caller. “Black voters are the strongest constituency of the Democrat Party, with black women being more loyal to Democrats than black men. The studies I’ve seen suggest that, among those in the black community who smoke, specifically menthol cigarettes, it skews heavily towards men. So to the extent that black men have been less loyal to the Democrats than black women, any issue that affects them more specifically could cause them to be less enthusiastic about Joe Biden’s reelection.” (Read more from “A Quiet New Move Could Spell Disaster for Biden With Black Voters” HERE)

Young Mom Found Dead Days After Being Arrested for Repeatedly Calling 911, Begging for Help

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A young Oklahoma mom has been found dead on a barge on the Mississippi River — days after she was arrested for repeatedly calling 911 pleading for help.

Hailey Silas’ body was found about 7 a.m. Saturday while the barge’s crew was performing an inspection while traveling the Mississippi River near Shelby Forest in Tennessee, WREG reported.

Less than a week earlier, the 22-year-old mom was arrested for calling 911 several times Sunday from a gas station across from Southland Casino, according to the outlet.

She reportedly asked authorities to give her a ride out of West Memphis, Arkansas, because she was scared of something and was having a “panic attack.”

After Silas was taken to a station in handcuffs, she asked to talk to her parents, saying she was scared and confused, according to WREG. (Read more from “Young Mom Found Dead Days After Being Arrested for Repeatedly Calling 911, Begging for Help” HERE)

California City the First in U.S. To Condemn Israel, Accuse Jewish State of ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ in Gaza

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A California city has become the first in the US to pass a resolution condemning Israel — accusing the Jewish nation of committing “ethnic cleansing and collective punishment.”

The resolution passed by the Richmond City Council around 1 a.m. Wednesday states, in part, that Palestinians in Gaza “are currently facing a campaign of ethnic cleansing and collective punishment by the state of Israel.”

That “is considered a war crime under international law,” the resolution states.

It also calls for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire and the safe passage of substantial humanitarian aid to Gaza,” as well as an “end to Israeli apartheid and the occupation and blockade of Palestinian land by Israeli military forces.”

“The city of Richmond opposes all existing and future military aid to Israel,” it concludes, while attempting to express support for Jewish members of its community. (Read more from “California City the First in U.S. To Condemn Israel, Accuse Jewish State of ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ in Gaza” HERE)

The One Detail That Torpedoes Any Gun Control Narrative in the Wake of Maine Shootings

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Lewiston, Maine, the state’s second-largest city, was rocked by a horrific mass shooting that left up to 22 people dead and dozens injured. The suspect, Robert Card, remains at large. The manhunt roped in federal and state law enforcement agencies, but despite reportedly finding his vehicle near Lisbon at a boat ramp at Papermill Trail Park, Card is still missing. . .

I hate to get into the politics of this, but Democrats have already started stoking the flames of the gun control fires. That would happen anyway, but can we wait until all the details are released and the damage assessed before we get into this policy fight? We already had the information corrected. Would you like to guess which two things came up regarding the suspect that we’ve heard many times before concerning these crimes? He was known to law enforcement and had severe mental health problems. . .

Card is reportedly a 20-year Army veteran and a trained firearms instructor but had episodes of hearing voices in his head. He made threats to attack a National Guard base in Saco. In the summer of 2023, he was committed for two weeks at a mental health facility:

EXCEPTIONAL CHOICE: After Trump “Kills” Emmers Nomination, Johnson Is Voted Speaker of the House, Staunch Social Conservative; Gaetz Vindicated

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Business Insider. Rep. Mike Johnson, a relatively unknown 51-year-old congressman first elected in 2016, is a staunch social conservative and evangelical Christian who already served in party leadership as the vice chair of the House GOP conference. . .

What we Know About Speaker Johnson

The day after President Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election, Johnson said he called Trump and encouraged him to “keep fighting.”

On the morning of January 6, he tweeted that Republicans “MUST fight for election integrity, the Constitution, and the preservation of our republic!”

Johnson has continually voted against sending US aid to Ukraine and was among the original 57 Republicans who first did so in May 2022.

“We should not be sending another $40 billion abroad when our own border is in chaos, American mothers are struggling to find baby formula, gas prices are at record highs, and American families are struggling to make ends meet, without sufficient oversight over where the money will go,” he said at the time. . .

According to a biography on the website Answers in Genesis, Johnson has taught “Constitution and free enterprise” at the university’s Helms School of Government. (Read more from “Meet Rep. Mike Johnson, the New Speaker of the House Who Played a Key Role in Trump’s Efforts to Overturn the 2020 Election” HERE)

Matt Gaetz Sees Vindication in a Mike Johnson Win

By Molly Ball. As House Republicans started another speaker vote, Matt Gaetz, the Florida congressman who instigated the chaos of the last few weeks, is preemptively declaring victory—and vindication.

“I believe history will assess these three weeks as the most productive weeks of the 118th congress,” Gaetz said in an interview in his Capitol office. “Because now we have both a man and a plan.” (Read more from “Matt Gaetz Sees Vindication in a Mike Johnson Win” HERE)

‘I Killed Him’: How Trump Torpedoed Tom Emmer’s Speaker Bid

By Politico. Just hours after Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) won the Republican Conference’s nomination to be House speaker on Tuesday, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to deride the congressman as “totally out-of-touch with Republican Voters” and a “Globalist RINO.”

He then got on the phone with members to express his aversion for Emmer and his bid for speaker.

By Tuesday afternoon Trump called one person close to him with the message, “He’s done. It’s over. I killed him.”

Just minutes later, Emmer officially dropped out of the race. (Read more from “‘I Killed Him’: How Trump Torpedoed Tom Emmer’s Speaker Bid” HERE)

Trump Thanks Former Rival for Surprising 2024 Endorsement

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former President Donald Trump, no stranger to attacking political rivals with derisive nicknames, thanked former Republican presidential candidate Perry Johnson for his endorsement in the 2024 primary race this week.

Johnson ended his long-shot campaign on Friday in a lengthy statement in which he cited “corruption among leaders at the RNC” as “appalling.” The Michigan businessman often polled at 0%, didn’t qualify for the first two GOP primary debates, and was not on track to meet the qualifications for next month’s debate in Miami.

Yet on Monday, Johnson announced he was endorsing Trump, claiming, “There is now only one candidate in this race who can provide a solution to our nation’s economic, foreign policy and social crises, and most importantly, beat Joe Biden at the ballot box.”

Johnson also referenced his support of Trump’s first two presidential campaigns in 2016 and 2020 in his endorsement. “During President Trump’s first term, our nation saw historic peace agreements, no new wars, an economic revival, and forged a new path forward away from corrupt, establishment career politicians,” Johnson said. “I supported President Trump in 2016 and 2020, and am proud to offer him my full endorsement once again as he seeks the Republican nomination for President in 2024.” (Read more from “Trump Thanks Former Rival for Surprising 2024 Endorsement” HERE)

Rashida Tlaib Slammed for Response to Death of Synagogue President in Detroit

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Tragedy struck in Detroit over the weekend, when 40-year-old Samantha Woll was found dead after a fatal stabbing outside of her home. She had been the president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue since 2022 and had formerly served as an aide to Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and was a campaign staffer for Attorney General Dana Nessel (D), according to the Detroit Free Press. She had been identified in a statement by Mayor Mike Duggan, the Associated Press mentioned. Woll was also known for having founded the Muslim-Jewish Forum of Detroit. The synagogue is in the 13th Congressional District, not far from Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D-MI) 12th Congressional District, who represented the 13th until the maps were redrawn due to redistricting.

Not only has Tlaib pushed the falsehood that Israel was responsible for the explosion at the hospital, her outrage could not be more selective. As of Sunday afternoon, she has not yet posted from either of her X accounts about Woll’s death.

The Detroit Free Press highlighted a post from the congresswoman’s personal page, though there’s nothing on her other Facebook pages, Instagram, or either of her X accounts. This is despite Tlaib’s Facebook referring to her as a “friend.”

Newsweek highlighted outrage over Tlaib’s reaction–or lack thereof–on Saturday night, pointing out “Rashida Tlaib Under Fire After Detroit Synagogue Leader’s Slaying.”
