Things Get HEATED as Tucker and Pence Clash Over Ukraine; Former Governor Spars With Tucker Carlson Over Child Gender Transitions

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By The Blaze. Although Mike Pence pledges to be a Christian leader, he sure has a strange way of showing it when it comes to the treatment of Orthodox Christians in Ukraine.

Tucker Carlson pointed out that “the Zelenskyy government has raided convents, arrested priests, has effectively banned a denomination — a Christian denomination.”

Pence recently met with Zelenskyy, which begs the question — did he address this issue in their meeting?

“I’m wondering,” Tucker said, “if during that meeting, as a prominent Christian leader … you broached the question of his treatment of Christians within Ukraine.”

“I did raise the issue when we were there … with the leader of the Orthodox Church,” Pence responded. “He assured me that the Zelenskyy government in Ukraine was respecting religious liberty,” he continued.

Frustrated Ex-Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson Spars With Tucker Carlson Over Child Gender Transitions at Iowa Forum

By New York Post. Former Arkansas governor and 2024 presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson got a rough ride at an Iowa forum Friday while trying to defend his veto of a ban on gender procedures for minors, at one point asking forum moderator Tucker Carlson to change the subject.

The former Fox News host questioned Hutchinson during the Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines about his 2021 rejection of a bill that barred hormone therapy, puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgeries for minors, which state lawmakers immediately overrode.

“What I believe in is that parents ought to raise their children. I believe that parents ought to be in control. And I also believe in the Constitution,” Hutchinson told Carlson. “I believe that God created two genders, and that there should not be any confusion on your gender. But if there is confusion, then parents ought to be the one that guides the children. That to me is an important fundamental principle.”

“Now obviously, you could take it too far,” the former governor went on. “And if there would have been a bill that said, ‘You should not ever have transgender surgery as a minor,’ I would sign that … because no parent should be able to consent to that permanent change.” . . .

“In the subsequent two years, I think we’ve learned that hormone therapy for prepubescent children is permanent,” Carlson said. “It changes the bone structure. It changes the brain of the child. A lot of people believe, including me, that it destroys the child’s life. But it is permanent. It’s not reversible.” (Read more from “Frustrated Ex-Arkansas Gov.

Mystery ‘Alien’ Creature Baffles Scientists: ‘Exactly Like a Mermaid’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Photos of a creature — resembling a “mermaid alien” — washed ashore on an Australian beach have sent the internet into a collective tizzy online as viewers scramble to guess the mystery critter’s identity.

The macabre-looking flotsam first came to light via a post in the Marine Biology Facebook group that’s currently making waves online.

“It was exactly like a mermaid shape,” said uploader Bobbi-lee Oates, 34, of the skeletal remains, which she stumbled across while walking along the beach in Keppel Sands, Queensland.

“We were driving along the beach looking for a campsite, and we couldn’t help but notice how much the skull looked to be in the shape of a human’s,” the Aussie recalled. “So we instantly stopped from the confusion as to what the hell could this be, and why does this look like a human skull?”

Accompanying photos show the apparent oceanic enigma, which indeed boasts a dome-shaped humanoid skull, and splayed out ribs that evoke the alien’s locks in “Predator.”

100 Female Track Athletes Have Been Displaced by One Trans-Identifying Male in This State

/0 Comments/in , , /by

West Virginia officials have filed a legal motion asking a court to reinstate a state law that blocked males from participating on female sports teams, saying that one boy who identified as a girl had displaced 100 female track and field athletes.

On Tuesday, attorneys for the state of West Virginia and the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed a motion with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, asking the court to suspend an injunction that has partially blocked a law restricting athletic team participation on sports teams by sex.

“When you ignore biological reality and allow males to compete on girls’ sports teams, girls are harmed and denied athletic opportunities — even in middle school,” said ADF Senior Counsel Christiana Kiefer. “This male athlete’s athletic success demonstrates that the injunction against West Virginia’s women’s sports law is undeniably causing multiple girls to suffer, and we urge the 4th Circuit to take immediate action and restore a fair playing field for female athletes.”

The motion comes after an injunction was placed against the 2021 law after Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 12-year-old male who identifies as female, and the American Civil Liberties Union sued the state, saying that the law violated the 14th Amendment.

WATCH: Things Turn Extremely Weird When Massie Corners Wray About the Elusive DNC Pipe Bomb…

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A recent interaction between Rep. Massie and the discredited FBI Director Chris Wray has drawn a lot of attention due to Wray’s bizarre behavior when Massie cornered him on the sketchy DNC pipe bomb story. As you’re probably aware by now, the FBI’s DNC pipe bomb narrative doesn’t make sense, and when questioned about the numerous inconsistencies, the feds act extremely strangely and clam up. Consequently, the pipe bomb story piqued our interest early on. Revolver’s own Darren Beattie and his team were responsible for bringing the elusive pipe bomb story into the mainstream conversation through their top-notch investigative reporting. In fact, Thomas Massie sought out Darren for guidance before questioning the FBI whistleblowers on this very topic. . .

So many aspects of this story just don’t “jibe.” So, when Massie confronted Wray about it, the tension in the room was palpable. Here’s what went down between the two men (Columbia Bugle):

FBI Director Christopher Wray Refuses To Answer @RepThomasMassie’s Questions About The January 6th Pipe Bombs, The Bizarre Circumstances Surrounding Their Discovery And The Missing Phone Data That Could Have Helped Identify The Bomber

Rep. Massie and Rep. @Jim_Jordan sent Director Wray a letter a month ago demanding answers about the pipe bomber after testimony by the Former Head of the FBI January Pipe Bomb Investigation Steven D’Antuono revealed that geofencing data that could have helped to identify the January pipe bomber was mysteriously “CORRUPTED”.

Rep. Massie: “We can handle classified information and we fund your department so you need to provide that.”

Gaetz Caps off Grilling of FBI Director With Last-Second Zinger

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz slammed FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday for allegedly failing to uphold his duties as a director.

Wray was testifying at the Oversight Committee when Gaetz began questioning him about text messages allegedly sent from Hunter Biden to a Chinese business associate that mentioned President Joe Biden.

Wray refused to comment on the alleged texts, prompting Gaetz to ask whether Wray was protecting the Biden family.

“You seem deeply uncurious about it, almost suspiciously uncurious. Are you protecting the Biden’s?”

“Absolutely not,” Wray said, with Gaetz again pushing that Wray should at least acknowledge or answer the question. Gaetz then asked how many illegal FISA inquiries have occurred since Wray has been in charge, noting the Inspector General reported more than one million were in error. Gaetz then said the court said the number was actually around 200,000. Wray said he did not know the answer or correct number.

‘Are You Protecting the Bidens?’ Matt Gaetz Goes on Rampage Against Chris Wray in Explosive Hearing Showdown

By Mediaite. Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) didn’t waste a second to throw accusations at FBI Director Chris Wray during his hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.

Wray, on Wednesday, has already faced several of his harshest critics — as his committee appearance was set to address claims about the alleged two-tiered justice system in America and the weaponization of federal law enforcement against conservatives. Gaetz kicked off his questioning with the alleged WhatsApp message of Hunter Biden invoking his father’s name and demanding payment from his Chinese business associate. . .

The confrontation moved on to Gaetz interrogating Wray over the FBI’s alleged FISA abuses, which coincides with Gaetz’s push for Congress to not renew the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Gaetz also cast perjury accusations at Wray before proclaiming “the FBI has broken so bad that people can go and engage in queries that when you come before the Congress to answer questions, you’re, like, you’re blissfully ignorant” about the FBI supposedly “using the FISA process as their creepy personal snoop machine.” (Read more from “‘Are You Protecting the Bidens?’ Matt Gaetz Goes on Rampage Against Chris Wray in Explosive Hearing Showdown” HERE)

Woman Shot in the Head, Killed After Husband Flips off Erratic Driver

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Texas woman was shot in the head and killed in her car Monday when her husband flipped off an erratic driver and the man fired several shots into their vehicle.

Paola Nunez Linares, 37, and her husband were driving in Hurst, a city that is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, just after 9 p.m. Monday when she was shot, police said.

First responders found Linares with a gunshot wound to the head and rushed her to an area hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said.

Zane Jones, the slain woman’s husband, said he was driving their minivan when he flipped off a car that was driving aggressively, trying to push his car off the road.

“I looked over at him when I did it, and I thought he was flipping me off too. But it turns out he was holding the gun,” Jones told Fox 4 News. (Read more from “Woman Shot in the Head, Killed After Husband Flips off Erratic Driver” HERE)

Talk About Weird: Corrupt Zelensky Slams Corrupt Biden for Not Wanting a Nuclear War With Russia

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Editor’s note: Zelensky’s desire for NATO security guarantees in the middle of his war with Russia has only one outcome: direct conflict between the U.S. and Russia along with an astronomically high chance of nuclear war. But the corrupt president of Ukraine seems giddy over the prospect of a nuclear exchange. Is that what his controllers want? Check out a discussion of a few of his controllers here:

Zelensky Goes Off on Biden Over NATO Membership

By Steven Nelson. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tore into NATO leaders including President Biden on Tuesday for not extending membership to his war-torn country — introducing fresh diplomatic drama into the annual gathering of the military alliance’s leaders.

Zelensky slammed the reticence as “weakness” and “absurd” just moments after Biden referred to the development of new language regarding his country’s potential NATO ascension.

“Now, on the way to Vilnius, we received signals that certain wording is being discussed without Ukraine. And I would like to emphasize that this wordxfing is about the invitation to become NATO member, not about Ukraine’s membership,” Zelensky tweeted.

“It’s unprecedented and absurd when a time frame is not set neither for the invitation nor for Ukraine’s membership. While at the same time vague wording about ‘conditions’ is added even for inviting Ukraine.” (Read more from “Zelensky Goes Off on Biden Over NATO Membership” HERE)

Archeologist Explains Why He Believes He Discovered Biblical City of Sodom

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An archeologist who believes the Biblical city of Sodom was located at a site in Jordan recently explained his view in a fascinating interview.

Dr. Steven Collins, Trinity Southwest University’s Executive Dean, explained to Joel Rosenberg, host of The Rosenberg Report, why he believes Sodom — which, along with Gomorrah, was destroyed by God with fire and brimstone because of its wickedness — is actually located at Tell el-Hammam in Jordan, as opposed to the more popular view that Sodom was located at a site near the south of the Dead Sea.

“There’s so much specific information about the location of these cities that you would practically have to be blind and illiterate not to be able to find the location of Sodom because there are at least 25 known pieces of geography [in scripture] that you can triangulate between to take you to the city of Sodom,” Collins told Rosenberg in an interview that aired last month.

Rosenberg said he began excavating the site 18 years ago, which is close to the mouth of the Jordan River and northeast of Jerusalem. During the first season of digging, a piece of pottery believed to be a storage jar was reportedly discovered that looked “melted on the surface.” . . .

Another piece of evidence Collins points to as possibly supporting his account is a 2021 study that said a “Tunguska sized airburst” destroyed the ancient city of Tell el-Hammam, which is the same location Collins is claiming was once Sodom.

It’s Nuts to Send Cluster Bombs to Ukraine; Biden’s Decision on Ukraine Cluster Munitions Sparks Some Democratic Blowback

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Daily Beast. The United States has decided to send cluster munitions to Ukraine. President Biden told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria that it was a “very difficult decision” and one that he discussed “with our allies” and “with our friends up on the Hill.”

I wonder if the allies he says he discussed it with included the U.K., France, Germany, or Canada. These close U.S. allies are all on the list of 123 nations—making up a large majority of the nations of the world—that have signed the UN convention forbidding the use of cluster munitions. Most of the planet considers the use of such weapons, which can spread explosive material over an area “up to the size of several football fields,” to be a war crime in itself, regardless of the intended target.

It’s easy to conduct the debate about sending these weapons in glittering generalities—”Ukraine has a right to defend itself,” “we should give them whatever they need,” and so on. The grim reality is that Ukrainian children will be blowing themselves up with U.S.-made explosives for decades to come. . .

Biden spokesperson February 28, 2022: “The use of cluster munitions is a war crime.”A year and a half later, National Security Adviser to US President Biden Jake Sullivan, at a briefing at the White House, announced his intention to transfer cluster munitions to Ukraine.
by u/theRealNihilist911 in N_N_N

Some commentators are treating the fact that Russia used them as a “gotcha” response to anyone who doesn’t want the U.S. to send them to the Ukrainian side. But that makes no sense. Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons against Iraqi Kurds. Does that mean it would have been perfectly fine if the United States had used chemical weapons in its invasion of Iraq?

. . .When you read about “Russia” invading “Ukraine,” it’s easy to imagine that the only victims of cluster munitions supplied to Ukraine will be Russians. While I don’t think we should be cavalier about the deaths of Russian civilians—or for that matter Russian conscripts—it’s also important to remember that a great many of even the intended victims of these munitions will be Russian-allied separatists in eastern Ukraine. And when it comes to cluster munitions, which victims are intended is almost beside the point. (Read more from “It’s Nuts to Send Cluster Bombs to Ukraine” HERE)

Biden’s Decision on Ukraine Cluster Munitions Sparks Some Democratic Blowback

By NBC News. Nearly two dozen congressional Democrats on Friday expressed frustration with the Biden administration over its decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine in a U.S. military aid package.

The lawmakers echoed warnings from human rights groups that the surface-to-surface warheads, which disperse small munitions or bombs over wide areas, can explode after battle and sometimes injure or kill innocent people.

“Cluster munitions are illegal under international law,” Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said in a statement announcing that she plans to introduce an amendment with Rep. Sara Jacobs, D-Calif., to the annual defense policy bill that would ban the sale of cluster munitions.

“We can support the people of Ukraine in their freedom struggle, while also opposing violations of international law,” Omar said, noting that the munitions are banned in more than 100 countries.

Jacobs announced her opposition to the munitions transfer in a statement Thursday, saying she was “disappointed and alarmed” by the forthcoming move. (Read more from “Biden’s Decision on Ukraine Cluster Munitions Sparks Some Democratic Blowback” HERE)

‘Sound of Freedom’ Tops $40M and ‘Indy 5’ per Screen Average; Pathetic Media Attacks on ‘Sound of Freedom’ Driven by Bigotry and Fear

/3 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Sound of Freedom has topped $40 million at the box office and beat the per-screen average of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

At the close of business Sunday, after only six days in theaters, Sound of Freedom has grossed $40.2 million. Also, over the weekend, it averaged $6,388 per screen, which topped Dial of Destiny’s per-screen average of $5,760.

Currently, the Disney Grooming Syndicate’s Dial of Destiny is playing in 4,600 theaters, compared to just 2,852 for Sound of Freedom.

Dial of Destiny might have come in second place with a weekend’s gross box office haul of $26.5 million, and Sound of Freedom might have come in third place with $18.2 million, but Sound of Freedom is doing a better job of packing them in.

Also, Unlike Disney’s Dial of Destiny, which is on track to lose tens if not hundreds of millions, Sound of Freedom is already profitable. Budgeted at just $14.5 million, Sound of Freedom started making millions the moment it crossed $25 to $30 million. And it’s just getting started. With an A+ Cinemascore and the corporate media’s desperate and insulting attacks, word of mouth is all set up to be phenomenal. Sound of Freedom should also clean up on home media.

Pathetic Media Attacks on ‘Sound of Freedom’ Driven by Bigotry and Fear

By Breitbart. Sound of Freedom is a genuine box office phenomenon, and the corporate media are bitter and terrified.

Oh, sure, the usual-usual Woke Nazis at CNN, the Washington Post, and the Guardian, etc., are pretending to be angry and indignant over Sound of Freedom’s problematic-ness, but the truth is the exact opposite. For all kinds of reasons, the ongoing success of this movie angers and terrifies them. . .

So what if Sound of Freedom stretches the “based on a true story” brand to the limit? So does every single movie that’s been “based on a true story” in the hundred-year history of Hollywood.

So what if Sound of Freedom validates some ideas that emanate from a fringe group like Q Anon? Pretty much every issue-based movie validates some fringe movement, be it the left-wing terrorist organizations Antifa and Black Lives Matter, the socialist Communists, environmentalists, and Nazis, or the Democrat-founded Ku Klux Klan.

These attacks on Sound of Freedom are breathtakingly stupid, reactionary, and driven by only two things: bigotry and fear.
