State’s New Gun Control Law Sparks Buying Spree as Thousands Race to Get Firearms

Oregon’s new law that will rigidly tighten the state’s gun restrictions led to a massive uptick in attempted firearms purchases, according to NBC affiliate KGW8.

Ballot Measure 114 was passed during the midterm elections and is credited as one of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, sending background checks skyrocketing from 850 per day, prior to the midterms, to 4,000 per day after the law’s passing, according to KGW8. The measure, often referred to as the Reduction of Gun Violence Act, will require deeper background checks, firearm training, fingerprint collection and a permit to purchase any firearm, according to the legislation, set to be effective in December.

The Oregon state police reported more than 18,000 transactions during election week, resulting in a backlog in background checks, according to KGW8. In 2020, COVID-19 restrictions caused a backlog in background checks that eventually leveled off right before the elections, the Oregon State Police reported.

The measure’s requirements have caused controversy for gun owners in Oregon, leading Lincoln County Sheriff Curtis Landers to release a statement Wednesday clarifying the new law.

Zelensky Almost Plunged Us All Into World War III — Again. Enough Already.; Zelensky Insists Missile That Hit Poland Was Not Ukrainian; NATO Row Breaks Out as Zelensky Savaged for ‘Destructive Lies’

By Daily Wire. On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sounded the alarm and called upon NATO allies to finally, directly, enter the war after an alleged Russian missile hit a Polish town, killing two people and causing destruction.

It turns out that Zelensky — who has bilked billions of dollars from the West, especially the U.S. — was wrong in his assessment. Authorities now say that it looks likely that it wasn’t a Russian weapon at all, but a Ukrainian one fired in self-defense that accidentally landed over the border. Regardless, Zelensky was quick to jump the gun and conclude that it was indeed Russia.

The question, then, is why do we trust this nutcase banging the war drums anymore? . . .

Since Poland is a NATO country, measures could be triggered that would have forced all NATO allies to defend Poland against Russia — thus starting World War III. . .

This isn’t the first time the Ukrainian president has acted wildly. Zelensky has also called upon the U.S. and other nations to establish a “no-fly zone” over Ukraine — which would have required Western nations to shoot down Russian aircraft, thus escalating the conflict even more.

NATO Row Breaks Out as Zelensky Savaged for ‘Destructive Lies’

By Express UK. NATO and Ukraine found themselves at odds at an urgent meeting on Wednesday, it has been revealed, as Volodymyr Zelensky said he had “no doubt” a missile that killed two people after landing in Poland near the Ukrainian border was not of Ukrainian origin. NATO, Warsaw and the US all said they believed the missile was “likely” fired by Ukraine in order to defend themselves against Russian missiles, with the alliance’s secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg making clear that it was “not Ukraine’s fault”, as the firing of the missile was “the direct result” of Putin’s invasion of the country. . .

But Mr Zelensky would not budge on the issue, insisting that a report he received from the incident left him certain that it was “not our missile or our missile strike”.

His statements have reportedly irked at least one Kyiv-based diplomat from a NATO country, who told the Financial Times: “This is getting ridiculous. The Ukrainians are destroying [our] confidence in them. Nobody is blaming Ukraine and they are openly lying. This is more destructive than the missile.”

NATO countries were called to an emergency meeting last night after a missile landed in the Polish village of Przewodów, near the Ukrainian border, during a mass air strike by Russia in which they unleashed over 100 missiles into Ukrainian cities, targeting civilian infrastructure.

Zelensky Insists Missile That Hit Poland Was Not Ukrainian

By The Hill. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky insisted on Wednesday that a missile believed to be fired over the Poland-Ukraine border that killed two people was not Ukrainian.

“I have no doubt that it was not our missile or our missile strike,” Zelensky told Ukrainian news outlets, adding, “I want us to be fair, and if it was the use of our air defense, then I want that evidence.”

Zelensky also said he believes Ukraine should be part of the investigation into the missile blast.

A missile strike killed two people in a Polish village near the country’s border with Ukraine on Tuesday. Initial reports suggested that the missile was Russian, raising concerns of a potential escalation of war with other countries amid the conflict in Ukraine.

However, Polish President Andrzej Duda said on Wednesday that the strike appeared to be accidental and said it was “highly probable” that it was the result of a Ukrainian air defense missile. (Read more from “Zelensky Insists Missile That Hit Poland Was Not Ukrainian” HERE)

Hobbs’s Lead Over Lake Narrows in Arizona Gubernatorial Race; Kari Lake Says She’s “Still in the Fight”

Kari Lake Says She’s “Still in the Fight”

_____________________________________________

Hobbs’s Lead Over Lake Narrows

Republican Kari Lake has narrowed Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs’s lead in the state’s race for governor in a Nov. 15 update.

Hobbs’s lead of 19,382 narrowed to 17,249, according to unofficial results from the office of Hobbs, a Democrat, based on new reports from Maricopa County and other jurisdictions. Hobbs gained nearly 9,700 votes in the new tranche, while Lake gained 11,829.

Hobbs now has 1.276 million votes, while Lake now has 1.259 million. The margin between the candidates is about 0.6 percent, close to recount territory.

Under a new Arizona law, a recount is triggered if the margin is at or below 0.5 percent when all the votes are counted.

Some 27,545 uncounted ballots remain, according to the office of Hobbs, who is Arizona’s top election official. That estimate may not be reliable, however—the estimate was 28,033 before the latest count, but more than 20,000 votes were reported.

Congressman Explodes After Wray Refuses Question on FBI, January 6

FBI Director Chris Wray refused to say Tuesday whether FBI sources had dressed as Trump supporters and entered the U.S. Capitol ahead of protesters on January 6, 2021. . .

“Did the FBI have confidential human sources embedded within the January 6 protesters on January 6 2021?” [Clay Higgins] the Louisiana congressman asked. Confidential human sources are not FBI agents; they are typically insiders in a group or well-connected individuals who have agreed to feed information to the FBI through handlers.

The FBI director said he has to be “very careful” about “when we do and do not and where we have and have not used confidential human sources.” . . .

Higgins pressed Wray on if any FBI confidential human sources were dressed as supporters of former President Donald Trump and positioned in the U.S. Capitol “prior to the doors being open[ed].”

Wray began his response reiterating his previous answer when Higgins exploded: “It should be a no! Can you not tell the American people, no, we did not have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the Capitol on January 6?” (Read more from “Congressman Explodes After Wray Refuses Question on FBI, January 6” HERE)

Are Lonely Wine Karens Ruining Our Country? Exit Poll Reveals the Depressing Truth

Americans expected Republican candidates to dominate the midterm elections. Instead, they got a wave of disappointment thanks largely to lonely, unmarried women who broke heavily for the Democratic Party.

While exit polls show Republicans won married men and women voters by double digits and increased their share among unmarried men, the majority of single women (picture an ex-librarian who drinks boxed wine while listening to Joni Mitchell) voted for Democratic candidates.

Among unmarried women, 68% told CNN’s exit poll they voted for Democrats over Republicans in the 2022 midterms, while only 31% said they voted for Republicans.

So why the gap? Recall the words of Republican Ohio Senator-elect J.D. Vance, who explained to Daily Caller co-founder and Fox News host Tucker Carlson in July 2021 that he believes progressive politicians are nothing more than “a bunch of childless cat ladies.” They use their positions of power to air out grievances rather than govern for the betterment of their constituency.

“What I was basically saying is that we are effectively run in this country – via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs – by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too,” Vance told Carlson. “You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC – the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children.” (Read more from “Are Lonely Wine Karens Ruining Our Country?

Did Epstein’s Island Truly Shut Down, or Did It Just Move?

Did Epstein’s Island truly shut down, or did it just move?

There’s a lot of weird s**t that is slowly coming out in the fallout of #FTX going bankrupt…

FTX was founded in 2019 and somehow managed to quickly become the biggest name in crypto

Sponsored the MLB and basketball arenas, SBF heavily lobbying members of Congress, his face is all over the place as “the next Warren Buffet”

How’d he elevate to such a position so quickly? Let’s look at his parents

His dad has written about & made a career off of getting rid of the “cash economy” and helping the govt find tax evasion (odd that his son his the biggest name in crypto)

His mom is a major dem operative

Looks like the CEO of FTX (& SBF’s gf) also has connections in high places

IMO, this whole thing seems like a weirdly arranged business/sexual partnership with ulterior motives

SBF was one of the largest donors to Democrat candidates, second only to…George Soros

SBF gave the second largest donation to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign in 2020

One month after the war in Ukraine started, DC puppet Zelensky partnered with SBF for crypto donations…

We’ve come to find out that Sam’s “minimalist, poor” lifestyle was completely a front…”I drive a Corolla!”

He lived in the Bahamas in a multi-million dollar mansion with his closest circle of friends where they’d have drug-fueled orgies apparently

Two weeks ago a big-named crypto developer who lived in PR was sounding the alarm on the CIA and m0ssad running a pedo elite cult in the Caribbean

shot, chaser

Now for where it gets even more interesting…

Alameda Research headed up by Ellison (mentioned earlier) and under the FTX brand. Here’s their logo

Let’s not forget Sam – the man himself…

h/t to @BooRadleyLegit for getting the ball rolling on this

Ukraine “Military Aid” From USA — Was Invested in Crypto “FTX” by Kiev!

The sudden collapse of crypto exchange “FTX” and its Bankruptcy filing today, has revealed that FTX presently suffers from $10-$50 BILLION in liabilities with almost ZERO assets . . . and among those liabilities, are “investments” made by . . . . UKRAINE . . . .

At this early hour, it appears that tens-of-billions in American “Military Aid” to Ukraine, which was allegedly to be used to fight Russia, was cash that Ukraine DID NOT use to fight Russia, but instead invested into FTX!

And, as you might guess from the Bankruptcy filing . . . . it now seems that all the money . . . is gone.

Yes, you read that correctly: Instead of using US Military Aid to fight Russia, Ukraine “invested” part or all of it, into FTX, and right now, it looks like all the money is gone. . .

Also at this early hour, it now also appears that the Chief of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, was the #2 donor to the Democrats. He was only outspent by Soros himself!

FBI Informant Has Heart Attack on Way to Testify in Jan. 6th Case for Oath Keepers Founder

Lawyers for Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes have called an FBI informant to testify as a witness in Rhodes’ defense against charges of seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Lawyers said that FBI informant was on his way to the trial when he suffered a heart attack.

Greg McWhirter, who served as the Oath Keepers’ vice president while informing on the group for the FBI, was set to testify as a defense witness in Rhodes’ case on Tuesday, the New York Times reported. At an impromptu meeting on Tuesday, Rhodes’ attorneys said McWhirter had boarded a plane to come testify for the trial but had to be taken off and hospitalized over a heart attack.

According to the New York Times, McWhirter is the second FBI confidential source that they are aware of that was in position to pass information about the Oath Keepers’ activities on Jan. 6, 2021 to federal authorities. Rhodes’ defense team made the unusual move to call McWhirter to testify as a defense witness after federal prosecutors rested their case last week without calling him and several other cooperating witnesses to testify against Rhodes.

McWhirter, 40, previously worked as a sheriff’s deputy in Montana. He boarded a plane on Tuesday to come to federal court in Washington D.C., where Rhodes is being tried, but lawyers said he was taken off the plane after suffering a heart attack. . .

In court on Monday, Rhodes said he was at a hotel room in Virginia when demonstrators entered the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He further testified that he never planned for Oath Keepers to enter the Capitol that day for any reason.
