SIGN OF THE TIMES: Gas Station Owner’s Display Goes Viral as Prices Hit Record Highs

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The owner of a gas station in Minnesota wants customers to know he is also frustrated with the country’s record-high prices.

“We hate our gas prices too,” read a sign posted outside a Marathon gas station in St. Paul, WCCO-TV reported.

Chuck Graff, the owner, told the outlet he wanted customers to know they were not the only ones feeling the “pain at the pump” as the national average gas price recently topped $5 per gallon for the first time.

While still below the national average, the price of gas in Minnesota has seen a new record-high for 11 days in a row and now sits at $4.76, the highest ever recorded average price for the state, according to the AAA motorist group.

Last year, a gallon of regular gas in Minnesota cost under $2.90, per the report. (Read more from “Sign of the Times: Gas Station Owner’s Display Goes Viral as Prices Hit Record Highs” HERE)

Donald Trump Rips Ivanka Trump After Jan. 6 Testimony (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former President Donald Trump publicly rebuked his daughter Ivanka Trump following a clip of her displayed by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot during a public hearing Thursday evening.

The former president stressed that his daughter was not in the loop on his campaign’s investigations of 2020 election fraud claims and had not thoroughly studied the matter. In the clip, Ivanka Trump said she respected former Attorney General Bill Barr and trusted his judgment that the 2022 election wasn’t rigged.

“Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results. She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as attorney general (he sucked),” Trump wrote on Truth Social, a social media platform he has attempted to establish as an alternative to Twitter.

Ivanka Trump’s comments, made during a closed-door deposition, were highlighted during the panel’s prime-time public hearing. Members of the panel and Trump critics pointed to the clip, in which she was pressed about Barr’s dismissal of claims of rampant voter fraud touted by the then-president and some of his allies, as evidence that members of Trump’s inner circle knew his claims about rampant voter fraud were unfounded.

Major U.S. City’s Plan to Spy on Citizens Draws Fierce Opposition

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Plans by the city of Houston to require businesses to install surveillance cameras – and then give police access – has drawn a warning letter from a second civil-rights organization.

WND reported in May when the Institute for Justice warned city officials the spy plans were unrealistic and illegal, because they would be in violation of the 4th Amendment.

Now the Rutherford Institute is raising related concerns.

The civil and religious rights organization said the city’s “Exterior Security Cameras Ordinance” is nothing more than a “thinly veiled attempt to evade oversight and accountability for Fourth Amendment violations.”

The ordinance was adopted in April and demands businesses install a citywide digital surveillance system that can be accessed by police without a search warrant. (Read more from “Major U.S. City’s Plan to Spy on Citizens Draws Fierce Opposition” HERE)

The LA Pride parade over the weekend in Los Angeles featured whips cracking against bodies, bare breasts, and bulging crotches — all in full view of little children who were gathered in the crowd with presumably approving parents. . .

[Warning: ALL video contains explicit content.]

In another clip, a mom was still smiling with two tykes in tow after a parade participant — an individual dressed in a rainbow bodysuit surrounded by shirtless men in short shorts with bulging crotches — announced that sexual lubricant was available.

“Happy Pride! We have bandanas and lube!” the individual on a microphone said after which the video camera panned to the smiling mother and two children in the crowd:

RINO Governor Says Trump Is ‘Politically, Morally Responsible’ for Jan. 6

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) on Sunday said former President Trump is “politically, morally responsible” for the Jan. 6 riot last year and called for Republicans to do some “soul-searching” after the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Hutchinson told “Fox News Sunday” guest host Bret Baier that while he did not believe Trump was criminally responsible for Jan. 6, he does think the former president shares blame for the insurrection.

“Trump is politically, morally responsible for much of what has happened, but in terms of criminal liability, I think the committee has a long way to go to establish that,” the governor said of the House select panel investigating Jan. 6.

Trump Adviser: FBI Agents Did Not Read Miranda Rights or Allow Him to Call His Lawyer; ‘The World Is Watching,’ Jan 6 Hearings Committee Chairman Boasts. Americans’ Ratings Disagree.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Former White House economic adviser Peter Navarro filed a motion in federal court in Washington, DC, on Friday, claiming that the FBI agents who arrested him last week failed to read him his Miranda rights or to provide him access to his attorney.

Navarro was arrested last week for contempt of Congress as he was boarding a flight at Reagan National Airport. He has declined to cooperate with the January 6 Committee, citing claims of executive privilege and constitutional objections. . .

He also alleges that he was handcuffed and placed in leg irons, and was held in a cell without being provided with water. (Read more from “Trump Adviser: FBI Agents Did Not Read Miranda Rights or Allow Him to Call His Lawyer” HERE)

‘The World Is Watching,’ Jan 6 Hearings Committee Chairman Boasts. Americans’ Ratings Disagree.

By Daily Wire. On Thursday night, as the Jan. 6 Committee convened to start their hearings, Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MI) boasted, “The world is watching what we do here.”

According to preliminary ratings figures from Nielsen, the world might have been watching, but most Americans had better things to do.

The New York Times tried to hype the number of people watching the hearings by writing breathlessly, “An audience of at least 20 million people watched the first prime-time hearing of the House Select Committee’s investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on Thursday night, according to Nielsen.”

But as The Federalist pointed out, that wasn’t much to brag about:

According to preliminary ratings figures from Nielsen published by The New York Times, more than 19 million tuned in for what was anticipated to be a blockbuster event. While 19 million may seem high at first glance, a look at what cable and broadcast networks typically pull for an average evening reveals Thursday’s viewership as little to brag about, especially when all but one, Fox News, aired the livestream.

Was Jan. 6 Organized by the FBI?; WATCH: January 6 Committee Plays Deceptively Edited Video of Capitol Riot

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. As the liberal media obsesses over President Trump for so-called “inciting” the peaceful crowds to enter the Capitol on January 6 to protest, Republicans are standing up and defending their party.

While meeting with conservative activists at a Phoenix IHOP, Senate candidate Blake Masters (R-AZ.) questioned whether Jan. 6 was just one big set up by the FBI.

According to audio of the meeting obtained by CNN, the Trump-endorsed candidate was asked if he would support an investigation into the U.S. Intelligence operations to reveal the government’s motives in the protests, to which he replied “absolutely.”

“Don’t we suspect that, like, one-third of the people outside of the Capitol complex on Jan. 6 were actual FBI agents hanging out…what did people know? And when did they know it? We got to get to the bottom of this.” (Read more from “Was Jan. 6 Organized by the FBI? HERE)

Watch: January 6 Committee Plays Deceptively Edited Video of Capitol Riot

By Breitbart. The January 6 Committee played a deceptively edited video of the Capitol riot on Thursday evening, dubbing audio of former President Donald Trump describing the peaceful part of the rally over footage of violent clashes a mile away.

The video was presented during the committee’s first public hearing as part of a montage that Chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said included never-before-seen footage. The audio was from a Fox News interview of Trump on July 11, 2021.

The committee played Trump’s comments — which referred to his peaceful rally, over a mile away — over visuals of clashes between rioters and police. “They were peaceful people. These were great people,” Trump was heard saying. “The crowd was unbelievable. And I mentioned the word love. The love — the love in the air, I have never seen anything like it.”

In the original context, however, it was clear Trump was referring to his rally, not to the riot at the Capitol a mile away. (Read more from “Watch: January 6 Committee Plays Deceptively Edited Video of Capitol Riot” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos claims she and other cabinet members, including former Vice President Mike Pence, discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove former President Donald Trump after Jan. 6.

DeVos spoke to Ingrid Jacques with USA Today ahead of the release of her new book, “Hostages No More: The Fight for Education Freedom and the Future of the American Child.” . .

“It wasn’t about the election results,” she told Jacques. “It was about the values and image of the United States. It was about public service rising above self. The president had lost sight of that.” . . .

“I spoke with the vice president and just let him know I was there to do whatever he wanted and needed me to do or help with, and he made it very clear that he was not going to go in that direction or that path,” she said. . .

168,000 Deleted Files Recovered From Hunter Biden’s Laptop; iPhone Data Leaked: Fresh Crisis for President as Trainwreck Son Caught in Compromising New Photos

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. A cyber forensics expert commissioned by the Washington Examiner recovered over 168,000 deleted files from a copy of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop.

Many of the deleted files were system files, application files, or duplicates of user files stored elsewhere on the laptop.

Some of the recovered data, however, shed light on his financial dealings in 2018 and early 2019, as well as his personal dealings during that time frame. Also recovered from the drive were deleted pictures of government ID cards for two individuals linked to President Joe Biden’s son.

Konstantinos “Gus” Dimitrelos, a former Secret Service agent who has testified in over 100 classified, criminal, and civil matters, retrieved the deleted files from unallocated space on the hard drive using a technique called data carving. . .

“In order for user-created data — including personal photographs, bank records, invoices, business records, third-party data such as the driver’s licenses of other persons, chat conversations, and medical records, as examples — to exist within the unallocated hard drive space, the computer user would have had to manually delete the files,” Dimitrelos said. “Any Robert Hunter Biden recovered files in unallocated space was there as a result of deletions by the user ‘roberthunter.’” (Read more from “168,000 Deleted Files Recovered From Hunter Biden’s Laptop” HERE)

Hunter Biden iPhone Data Leaked: Fresh Crisis for President as Trainwreck Son Caught in Compromising New Photos

By Radar Online. The Biden administration is about to become embroiled in a damning new Hunter Biden scandal — with the contents of the disgraced first son’s iPhone having leaked, Radar has exclusively learned.

More than 30 GB of never-before-seen data has been obtained — saved during a four-month period between October 2018 and February 2019 — including photos, videos, and messages on Biden’s iPhone.

The contents of the device are being shopped to various media outlets as “far more scandalous than anything that has come out before,” a source told RadarOnline.com.

It’s understood the data downloaded from Hunter’s iPhone includes raunchy photos of the 52-year-old wild child of President Joe Biden completely undressed with an unknown woman.

“Hunter is in a compromising position that will rock Washington D.C.,” the source added. (Read more from “Hunter Biden iPhone Data Leaked: Fresh Crisis for President as Trainwreck Son Caught in Compromising New Photos” HERE)

WATCH: Wealthy Democrat Senator Brags About How Gas Prices Don’t Affect Her; As Gas Prices Break Records, World Bank Warns of 1970S-style ‘Stagflation’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. During Tuesday’s Senate Finance Committee hearing to discuss “The President’s Fiscal Year 2023 Budget,” Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) displayed just how tone-deaf she is on gas prices affecting her constituents when she bragged about driving an electric car. When it comes to the price at the pump, Sen. Stabenow said, “It didn’t matter how high [the price] was.”

“After waiting a long time to finally have enough chips in this country to finally get my electric vehicle, I got it and drove it from Michigan to here this last weekend and went by every single gas station, and it didn’t matter how high it was,” Sen. Stabenow said about gas prices. “And so I’m looking forward to the opportunity for us to move to vehicles that aren’t going to be dependent on the whims of the oil companies and the international markets,” she continued.

Our friends at Twitchy highlighted some of the best responses to Stabenow’s remarks.

AAA’s map of gas prices shows that Michigan is facing some of the highest gas prices in the country, with the average price of gas in the state costing $5.171 a gallon. (Read more from “Wealthy Democrat Senator Brags About How Gas Prices Don’t Affect Her” HERE)

As Gas Prices Break Records, World Bank Warns of 1970S-style ‘Stagflation’

By Newsweek. As U.S. gas prices reached an all-time high, the World Bank issued a warning that a combination of rising inflation and a slowdown in economic growth could lead the global economy into 1970s-style “stagflation.”

The price of gas in the U.S. hit $4.91 per gallon on Tuesday, according to AAA. On the same day, the World Bank issued its latest Global Economic Prospects report—which compared current economic conditions around the world with those during the “stagflation of the 1970s,” spelling potentially bad news for the global economy due to issues including fiscal damage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“The war in Ukraine, lockdowns in China, supply-chain disruptions, and the risk of stagflation are hammering growth,” World Bank President David Malpass said in a statement. “For many countries, recession will be hard to avoid. Markets look forward, so it is urgent to encourage production and avoid trade restrictions. Changes in fiscal, monetary, climate and debt policy are needed to counter capital misallocation and inequality.”

However, it was also noted that the current economy differs from that of the 1970s in several important areas, including the U.S. dollar currently being strong, smaller percentage increases in commodity prices, strong “balance sheets of major financial institutions” and better controls on price stability through central banks and a track record of meeting inflation targets.
