DeSantis Responds to Trump Attack: ‘I Don’t Spend My Time Trying to Smear Other Republicans’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday brushed aside former President Donald Trump’s attempts to cast him as a “groomer” of young women, saying he is not interested in spending his time chopping down fellow Republicans.

The governor has been on the receiving end of recent Trump attacks, including the former president reposting a picture this week on social media accusing Mr. DeSantis of drinking alcohol with students when he was a teacher. The post labeled him a groomer.

“I’d also just say this,” Mr. DeSantis said at a press conference Wednesday. “I spend my time delivering results for the people of Florida and fighting against Joe Biden. That’s how I spend my time. I don’t spend my time trying to smear other Republicans.”

Mr. Trump appears intent on tarnishing the glowing image Mr. DeSantis has cultivated in the eyes of Republican voters, with hopes of shooting down his presidential hopes before he gets off the runway.

Mr. DeSantis is expected to launch his presidential bid after the Florida legislature adjourns in May. (Read more from “DeSantis Responds to Trump Attack: ‘I Don’t Spend My Time Trying to Smear Other Republicans’” HERE)

Military Spouse Opened Fire on Man Who Breached Military Base

By Daily Caller. A military spouse opened fire on a man who breached base security at Joint Base Andrews on Monday after the intruder made his way to the home of a high-ranking military leader.

The breach occurred just before noon Monday after a man gained “unauthorized access” to the military base’s residential area. Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force JoAnne Bass, the highest-ranking enlisted member of the Air Force, confirmed to the Associated Press on Tuesday that the intruder had reached her home, prompting her husband to take defensive action.

Husband of Air Force’s Top NCO Fired Warning Shot at Military Base Intruder

By Peter Aitken. The husband of the Air Force’s top noncommissioned officer fired a warning shot and scared off an intruder who entered a military base with a weapon this week.

“We appreciate the outpouring of support we received after this incident,” Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force JoAnne Bass said in a press release. “I can confirm that my husband, Rahn, was involved and is safe, thanks to the quick response and professionalism of our Security Forces Airmen.”

Initial reports only noted that the intruder had been fired on by a base resident, but it wasn’t until later in the week that Rahn Bass, a retired Army first sergeant, was identified as the resident. The intruder remains unidentified.

A man gained entry to Joint Base Andrews in suburban Washington Monday, reaching the housing area at around 11:30 a.m. (Read more from story about military base intruder HERE)

Biden Goes Off-Script, Shouts About ‘Changing Places’ With Xi Jingping; Yuck! Dr. Jill, Second Gentleman Kiss; GOP Slams Biden’s Legacy, ‘Failed Far Left Agenda’

By Daily Caller. President Joe Biden went off-script during Tuesday night’s State of the Union address to call out Chinese President Xi Jinping.

During a section of remarks on the decline of autocracies and strength of democracies across the world, Biden began yelling that there are no world leaders who would want to trade places with Xi. The comments were not included in a transcript of Biden’s speech released earlier in the evening by the White House.

“Autocracy has grown weaker not stronger. Name me a world leader who would change places with Xi Jinping,” Biden shouted. “Name me one! Name me one!”

GOP Slams Biden’s Legacy, ‘Failed Far Left Agenda’ Ahead of SOTU

By Breitbart. Republican officials slammed President Joe Biden’s “legacy” ahead of his State of the Union address, pointing to the multiple crises affecting the nation as a result of the Democrat leader’s abundant “failures,” while calling to “reverse course.”

As lawmakers gather for the Tuesday night address, the 80-year-old president is preparing to showcase his efforts to rebuild the country’s economy, set the stage for his bid for a 2024 re-election, and likely demand Congress approve an amnesty for the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens.

Meanwhile, GOP members tore into the president’s legacy, highlighting the current unenthusiastic state of the nation.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) insisted Americans “will not forget the multiple crises Joe Biden created,” listing crime, border, inflation, national security and energy crises among them.

“Biden’s failures will be on FULL display!” she declared. (Read more from “GOP Slams Biden’s Legacy, ‘Failed Far Left Agenda’ Ahead of SOTU” HERE)

Fauci Admits COVID Shots Didn’t Have a Chance of Controlling the Pandemic

Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted in a recently published research paper that COVID-19 vaccines could not have been reasonably expected to get the pandemic under control.

Fauci and other top government and healthcare officials repeatedly stressed during the pandemic that getting vaccinated would stop the spread of COVID-19 and was the most important step individuals could take to end the pandemic. However, in the paper published Jan. 11 in Cell Press, Fauci and two co-authors write that respiratory viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and the flu have never been well-contained by vaccines.

“Because these viruses generally do not elicit complete and durable protective immunity by themselves, they have not to date been effectively controlled by licensed or experimental vaccines,” Fauci and his co-authors, David Morens and Jeffrey Taubenberger of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), wrote in the paper.

The analysis, titled “Rethinking next-generation vaccines for coronaviruses, influenza viruses, and other respiratory viruses,” highlights shortcomings in current vaccine technology for respiratory viruses and speculates on how it might be improved going forward. The authors compare SARS-CoV-2 to influenza, for which they say “only less than suboptimal vaccines” exist.

Vaccine technology for influenza has not evolved much since 1957, they said, leading to influenza being the deadliest vaccine-preventable viral respiratory disease. Flu shots have only been between 14 and 60 percent effective at stopping infection over the past 15 flu seasons, according to the paper.

This One NY Times Quote on Kamala Harris Will Blow Your Mind

OK, look: We’ve written this story before. But this one quote is just too great to let pass.

Vice President Kamala Harris is embattled, with Democrats openly talking about how they hope President Joe Biden will drop her in 2024 and how she can never win the White House.

So three reporters at The New York Times this week penned a piece headlined “Kamala Harris Is Trying to Define Her Vice Presidency. Even Her Allies Are Tired of Waiting.”

The piece rambles on and on — more than 2,200 words — and of course concludes Harris is pretty darn good, with the last line quoting a supporter saying, “It’s better to let Kamala be Kamala.” . . .

“[T]he painful reality for Ms. Harris is that in private conversations over the last few months, dozens of Democrats in the White House, on Capitol Hill and around the nation — including some who helped put her on the party’s 2020 ticket — said she had not risen to the challenge of proving herself as a future leader of the party, much less the country. Even some Democrats whom her own advisers referred reporters to for supportive quotes confided privately that they had lost hope in her.” (Read more from “This One NY Times Quote on Kamala Harris Will Blow Your Mind” HERE)

Grammy’s ’Unholy’ Night: Non-Binary Pop Star Sam Smith Performs BDSM, Devil-Themed Song

By Breitbart. Pop star Sam Smith, who describes himself as non-binary, performed a BDSM Devil-themed rendition of his song “Unholy” at the Grammys on Sunday night, complete with red leather suits, flames, and cartoonish devil horns.

Leading up to Sunday’s performance, Sam Smith promised that it would likely anger Christians and cause protests at CBS for what he described as satanic imagery. As it turns out, the imagery was just a few items of clothing removed from a Looney Tunes episode.

As Showbiz 411 reported, sources said that the performance would “make a lot of people very upset.”

“I guarantee there will be calls to CBS from outraged Christians,” a source close to Smith said.

Smith’s source said that the singer would “playing Satan” and that “there will be a lot of devil type stuff, devil worship, and ‘pyrotechnics like you’ve never seen.’” (Read more from “Grammy’s ’Unholy’ Night: Non-Binary Pop Star Sam Smith Performs BDSM, Devil-Themed Song” HERE)

Beyoncé Breaks Record for Lifetime Grammy Wins, Thanks God and ‘Queer Community’

By Breitbart. Pop queen Beyoncé on Sunday reigned supreme at the Grammys, breaking the all-time record for wins with her 32nd prize and fourth of the night to resounding applause.

The 41-year-old entered the day with the most chances at Grammy gold with nine, following the release of “Renaissance,” her rich, layered ode to club music.

She clinched the title by winning the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album for her smash “Renaissance,” thus surpassing the late classical conductor Georg Solti, who had 31 awards.

“I’m trying not to be too emotional. And I’m trying to just receive this night,” Queen Bey said, wearing a shimmering, curve-hugging gown, her hair in mermaid waves as her peers witnessed the history-making moment.

Beyoncé thanked her family and paid special tribute to the queer community, who she credited with inventing the genre she celebrated in her historically layered record that pays homage to pioneers of funk, soul, rap, house, and disco.

Fat Satan Grammys Deliver Ratings Catastrophe; CBS Openly Admits Goal With Message to Artist Before Satanic Performance (VIDEO)

By Breitbart. The Woke Grammys, complete with a cameo from Fat Satan, delivered another ratings catastrophe with just 12.4 million viewers.

That means you should not believe the headlines, like this one… “Ratings: Grammy Awards Audience Surges 30% to Hit a 3-Year High”!

Surges to a three-year high! . . .

How about a little context to make sense of just how awful 12.4 million viewers is…?

Back in 2020, the Grammys drew 18.7 million viewers, and that was considered a disaster. At the time, 18.7 million, which is 50 percent higher than this Sunday night’s viewership, was nearly an all-time low. (Read more from “Fat Satan Grammys Deliver Ratings Catastrophe (VIDEO)” HERE)

CBS Openly Admits Goal With Message to Artist Before Satanic Performance

By Western Journal. Sunday’s Grammy performance by Sam Smith is making headlines for all the wrong reasons, but a message CBS posted to the artist on Twitter just before the performance is making it even more disturbing. . .

This led to the performance being roundly condemned by conservatives, who are rightly drawing attention to this as another example of the fact that Hollywood seems to be aligning itself with demonic forces these days. . .

CBS responded to Smith’s tweet showing pictures of the rehearsal for the show by saying [in the now-deleted tweet], “We are ready to worship.”

If This Thread About Why America Is Really Helping Ukraine Is True at All It’s Huge

Every once in a while we come across a thread that while we can neither confirm nor deny if it’s true, we feel like our readers might want to take a look and decide for themselves. This thread from user Clandestine (who has 150k followers) is one of those threads. . .

Nearly 20 years ago. . .

Seems they always change their tune when it might prove Republicans were right about something.

Now, THIS we remember because Biden has bragged about it on numerous occasions.

Could this be true? (Read more from “If This Thread About Why America Is Really Helping Ukraine Is True at All It’s Huge” HERE)

Dry Run: Balloons Called Top ‘Delivery Platform’ for Nuclear EMP Attack

High-altitude balloons, such as the one China has floated over mountain state military bases this week, are considered a key “delivery platform” for secret nuclear strikes on America’s electric grid, according to intelligence officials.

Spy balloons, used by Japan to drop bombs during World War II, are now far more sophisticated, can fly at up to 200,000 feet, evade detection, and can carry a small nuclear bomb that, if exploded in the atmosphere, would shut down the grid and wipe out electronics in a many-state-wide area.

The threat of balloon-launched electromagnetic pulse attacks was warned about by a congressional EMP commission and inside the military several years ago.

In a 2015 report for the American Leadership & Policy Foundation, Air Force Maj. David Stuckenberg, one of the nation’s leading EMP experts, wrote extensively about the threat balloons carrying bombs pose to national security. . .

On Friday, he told Secrets, “China’s recent balloon flyover of the United States is clearly a provocative and aggressive act. It was most likely a type of dry run meant to send a strategic message to the USA. We must not take this for granted.” (Read more from “Dry Run: Balloons Called Top ‘Delivery Platform’ for Nuclear EMP Attack” HERE)

New Info on Chinese Spy Balloon From NORAD Commander Is Jaw-Dropping

At this point, everything the Biden team says about the Chinese spy balloon just seems to make the problem worse.

One of the big questions that people have had is why the balloon wasn’t shot down earlier, for example, over the Aleutian Islands, near Alaska. Or over any of the less populated areas of Alaska, Canada, or Montana that it went over?

Now, they’re out with more comments and they’re not helping themselves. They had earlier claimed they didn’t have a “water shot.” That answer has now “evolved” further.

According to the Department of Defense, the U.S. did not have time to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon right after it crossed into Alaskan waters.

The balloon “did not present a physical threat” to the US and Canada, said Gen. Glen VanHerck, Commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM). “I could not take immediate action because it was not demonstrating … hostile intent.”
