Clay Travis Calls Out ‘Disrespectful’ Mike Pence During Tense Interview When Asked About Pardoning Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Conservative radio host Clay Travis called former Vice President Mike Pence “pretty disrespectful” to his old boss in a tense interview Wednesday about whether the Republican presidential candidate would pardon Donald Trump if elected president.

Travis, who along with co-host Buck Sexton has said the federal prosecution of Trump for mishandling classified documents is politicized, challenged Pence to directly answer if he would pardon Trump as a matter of principle.

“These are serious charges,” Pence said. “I can’t defend what’s been alleged, but the president does deserve to make his defense.”

Pence said the pardoning authority is an “enormously important” power for someone in an executive position, calling the idea of a pardon premature, but the founder of “OutKick” wasn’t pleased.

“I think as a matter of principle, if you believe… Donald Trump is being prosecuted to a large extent for political-based reasons, something that has never happened in the 240-plus year history of the United States, that we are setting an awful precedent here,” Travis said.

As Republicans Rush to Defend Trump After Indictment, This RINO Senator Stays Silent

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Republican senators quickly rushed to defend former former President Donald Trump after he was indicted for his handling of classified documents last week — or at least most of them did.

Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri claimed the indictment put the country’s rule of law at risk. Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri said it looked like a banana republic. Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas said “lady justice has taken off her blindfold.”

Sen. Jerry Moran, a Kansas Republican, stayed quiet.

“Jerry Moran won’t say much about anything,” said John Pyle, an Ellis County Republican who led an effort to censure Moran last year for supporting a bipartisan spending bill. “He doesn’t like to get in the middle of any kind of confrontation.” (Read more from “As Republicans Rush to Defend Trump After Indictment, This RINO Senator Stays Silent” HERE)

Biden Gives Bizarre Response to Bribery Question, Staff Also Cuts His Livestream Link (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Joe Biden delivered remarks at the Chiefs of Mission event in the White House on Tuesday. The Chiefs of Mission are the principal officers in charge of U.S. State Department diplomatic offices and missions from around the world. It was supposed to happen on Monday, but they had to postpone it because of Biden’s root canal on Monday. It did not go well.

Biden started with a comment about his administration that was finally something truthful.

I’m sure that jab must be welcome from the D.C. staff that is constantly having to fend off his messes and clean up after his gaffes. How nice of Biden to call out their failure to completely cover for him. But at this point, even with a small army — which he has around him — if they have to throw him out there for events, there’s going to be problems.

Then he went into that odd whispering thing that he does and he sounded almost out of breath. . .

At the end of his remarks, he appeared to go back to the mic to pick it up to say a few more words at about 16 seconds into the video. But watch as they turn off the link once Biden starts trying to speak again so that if he says something odd, no one will hear it.

Biden’s Response to Bribery Question

By Marvin Ang. President Joe Biden appeared to laugh off a reporter’s question about the alleged existence of audio recordings of himself and a Ukrainian businessman who allegedly bribed him when he was vice president.

“Are there tapes that you accepted bribes, President Biden? Is that true?” a New York Post reporter asked Biden Tuesday evening as he left an event with U.S. diplomats in the East Room of the White House.

The 80-year-old president stopped mid-stride and turned to look at the reporter who posed the question with a smile. Biden then seemed to chuckle to himself before walking away without answering the question. (Read more from this article HERE)

Trump Suggests That FBI Planted Classified Material Into Evidence They Took During Raid

/77 Comments/in , , /by

Former President Donald Trump responded to the federal indictment unsealed on Friday by suggesting that federal agents “stuffed” classified material into evidence that they collected from Mar-a-Lago after they raided the property last year.

A federal grand jury in the Southern District of Florida indicted the president on 37 felony counts for his alleged retention of national defense information, his alleged attempts to obstruct the investigation, and for allegedly lying to investigators.

“When the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, they wouldn’t let my lawyers or representatives anywhere near them,” Trump wrote on social media. “They wouldn’t tell us what they took. Knowing them, and based on past performance, they probably later ‘stuffed’ in other documents. My lawyers had to wait outside, on a very hot day. The FBI took my medical records, birth certificate, and passports, and just about anything else they were able to get their hands on. What a group! They didn’t do this to Crooked Joe Biden or Hillary.”

Special Counsel Jack Smith said during a press conference on Friday that the former president will get “a speedy trial on this matter, consistent with the public interest and the rights of the accused.” (Read more from “Trump Suggests That FBI Planted Classified Material Into Evidence They Took During Raid” HERE)

Joe Biden Centers Trangenderism Flag on White House; White House Accused of U.S. Flag Code Violation Over Display

/29 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden put the left’s “Progress Pride” flag — which is topped by the pink-and-blue colors of transgender advocacy — at the center of the White House for his “Pride” celebration.

The pro-transgender political display prompted many complaints that he disrespected the nation’s flag, which is the primary symbol of the nation’s solidarity with its ordinary citizens.

Biden’s decision to center the controversial pink-and-blue-edged “Progress Pride” flag reflects the Democrats’ need to goad their young progressive voters into the voting booth in 2024, amid his economy of declining wages, rising rents, and expanding civic chaos.

Biden’s display — and the speeches at the event — offered progressives the distracting and uplifting 2024 role of supporting rights for “transgender people.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Centers Trangenderism Flag on White House” HERE)

White House Accused of U.S. Flag Code Violation Over Pride Month Display

By New York Post. President Joe Biden’s administration is receiving backlash online over its Pride Month display at the White House on Sunday as many Twitter users are saying it violates the US Flag Code.

Biden celebrated the LGBT community in a post Saturday, revealing a set of flags hanging from the White House that faced the South Lawn.

The display includes a rainbow-colored Pride flag flanked by two American flags.

Twitter users argue the display violates a section of the US Flag Code that mandates the American flag be in the center of any display featuring multiple national flags or pennants.

“To advance revolutionary transgender agenda targeting children, Biden violates basic tenet of US Flag Code and disrespects every American service member buried under its colors,” wrote Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Senator Reveals FBI Informant File References 17 Biden Audio Recordings (VIDEO)

/14 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. An FBI informant claims a foreign national has more than a dozen audio recordings of conversations with President Joe Biden and his son Hunter stemming from an alleged $5 million bribery scheme involving Ukraine, a U.S. senator revealed on Monday.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said an FD-1023 file in the FBI’s possession, which has been shown to members of the House Oversight Committee with redactions, makes reference to these recordings and should be revealed to the public. Grassley has been working with Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY), who has used subpoena power to pry more information from the FBI about the allegations.

“The 1023 produced to that House committee redacted reference that the foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversation with them. Seventeen such recordings,” Grassley said in a speech on the Senate floor, noting he has seen the document with fewer redactions than what oversight panel members were given.

“According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses 15 audio recordings of phone calls between him and Hunter Biden,” Grassley said. “According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses two audio recordings of phone calls between him and then-vice president Joe Biden. These recordings were allegedly kept as a sort-of insurance policy for the foreign national in case he got into a tight spot.”

Grassley added: “The 1023 also indicates that then-Vice President Joe Biden may have been involved in Burisma employing Hunter Biden.” (Read more from “Senator Reveals FBI Informant File References 17 Biden Audio Recordings” HERE)

Burisma Boss in Alleged Biden Bribe Scheme Claims to Have 15 Taped Conversations With Hunter, 2 With Joe: Grassley

By New York Post. The FBI source who reported President Biden’s alleged role in a bribery scheme said that a Ukrainian businessman claimed to keep as “insurance” 15 audio recordings of first son Hunter Biden and two of Joe Biden, a Republican senator revealed Monday.

Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) made the staggering claim in a Senate floor speech after FBI Director Christopher Wray last week allowed House Oversight Committee members to see a redacted informant file about the claim that Hunter and then-Vice President Joe Biden received $5 million apiece to serve the interests of Burisma Holdings owner Mykola Zlochevsky.

“Congress still lacks a full and complete picture with respect to what that document really says. That’s why it’s important that the document be made public without unnecessary redactions for the American people to see,” said Grassley, accusing the bureau of needlessly redacting information about the recordings from the file shared with House lawmakers.

“Let me assist for purposes of transparency,” the 89-year-old went on. “The 1023 [form] produced to that House Committee redacted reference that the foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversations with them. Seventeen total recordings. . .

The senator concluded: “So, as I’ve repeatedly asked since going public with the existence of the 1023, what, if anything, has the Justice Department and FBI done to investigate? The Justice Department and FBI must show their work. They no longer deserve the benefit of the doubt.” (Read more from “Burisma Boss in Alleged Biden Bribe Scheme Claims to Have 15 Taped Conversations With Hunter, 2 With Joe: Grassley” HERE)

Scientists Believe This Energy Drink Ingredient Could Be the Secret to Slowing Down Aging

/1 Comment/in , , /by

. . .A study from Columbia University has revealed that taurine — a nutrient found in meat, fish, dairy and some energy drinks like Celsius, Red Bull, Monster and Rockstar — seems to slow the aging process and extend healthy lifespans.

“This study suggests that taurine could be an elixir of life within us that helps us live longer and healthier lives,” Vijay Yadav, Ph.D., assistant professor of genetics and development at Columbia University, said in a news release.

Yadav and a team of researchers conducted experiments with animals and people to determine what role taurine — which is also produced in the body — plays in health and longevity.

The researchers found that taurine levels in 60-year-old people were about one-third of those found in 5-year-olds. . .

Studies of mice and monkeys confirmed that taurine levels dropped significantly over time in animals, too. “That’s when we started to ask if taurine deficiency is a driver of the aging process, and we set up a large experiment with mice,” Yadav said.

Statue Honoring Revolutionary War Hero Removed After Nearly a Century

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A statue dedicated to Revolutionary War hero Gen. Philip Schuyler that has stood over Albany’s city hall for nearly a century was removed on Saturday morning. The statue was removed because Schuyler owned slaves.

A moving crew hoisted the 9-foot-tall statue from its pedestal and loaded it onto a trailer around 8 a.m. on Saturday. The pedestal and a plaque were also removed from the site in New York state’s capitol. The removal of Schuyler’s statue took about three hours and reportedly cost the city $40,000.

The Gen. Philip Schuyler statue will be temporarily housed inside an undisclosed storage facility until a permanent location is determined. The city council will launch a monuments commission to decide where the statue will be relocated to.

The statue, which was originally erected in 1925, was removed because Schuyler was one of Albany’s largest slave owners.

The decision to remove the statue was first announced in the summer of 2020, which was a response to the death of George Floyd and the subsequent riots that ravaged U.S. cities. Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan, a Democrat, ordered the removal of the statue in June 2020. However, the removal was reportedly held up because an engineering study took years.

The FBI Bank Scandal Just Expanded

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Bank of America may not be the only financial institution that voluntarily turned over mass amounts of customer data and transaction history to the FBI on and around January 6, 2021.

According to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust Chairman Thomas Massie, a slew of other banks may have also turned over private customer information requested by the FBI without a warrant. Those banks include Citigroup, PNC Financial Services, JPMorgan Chase & Company, Truist, Wells Fargo and U.S. Bankcorp.

“The Committee on the Judiciary and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government are conducting oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and its receipt of information about American citizens from private entities. An FBI whistleblower has disclosed that following the events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, Bank of America (BoA) provided the FBI—voluntarily and without any legal process—with a list of individuals who had made transactions in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area with a BoA credit or debit card between January 5 and January 7, 2021,” Jordan and Massie wrote in a series of letters to executives at each bank.

Liberal News Host Melts Down After Guest Points Out Hypocrisy in Trump Indictment; See Trump’s Newest Ad

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos flipped out after former Trump attorney Jim Trusty pointed out the hypocrisy in the politically motivated indictment against the 45th president, pointing out that President Joe Biden also had several classified documents in his possession.

Trusty was asked if he believes in the idea that “no person is above the law” before asking whether he agrees Trump should be charged.

In response, the attorney agreed with the principle that no one should be above the law, adding, “You’ve got these investigations in Delaware that are 1,000 times more serious by a sitting president who has authorized his DOJ [Department of Justice] to try to sink the candidacy of his prime opposition while that guy has unsecured documents that he stole out of a skiff dozens of years ago. Look, we’re not talking –”

Stephanopoulos interjected, calling his comments ridiculous.

“What are you talking about?” The Left-wing host said. “What are you talking about?” (Read more from “Liberal News Host Melts Down After Guest Points Out Hypocrisy in Trump Indictment” HERE)
