‘Suspected Chinese Spy’: Internet Demands Probe After Mitch McConnell’s Wife Reportedly Revealed To Have CCP Ties

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Calls to investigate Republican Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell’s wife spread online after the Daily Caller News Foundation reported on her multiple appointments by Chinese Communist Party officials.

Elaine Chao, McConnell’s Taiwanese-born wife, was named to several United Front Work Department-linked posts, some of which coincided with her time as Labor and Transportation secretary, according to Daily Caller News Foundation translations of Chinese media reports. Critics claimed these appointments were a counterintelligence issue and raised questions about McConnell’s own record in office.

Former Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia seized on the opportunity to confirm her suspicions about Chao and McConnell.

“I called out Elaine Chao months ago for being a suspected Chinese spy,” Greene said in a Tuesday X post. “When is there going to be an investigation? And when is there going to be proof of life of powerful Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell?? Is the state of Kentucky really putting up with this???”

Chao did not list her United Front Work appointments on her 2017 confirmation paperwork. Moreover, Patrick O’Connor, her spokesperson, rejected the idea that Chao or her family members held any foreign government roles, even after receiving photo proof of her meetings with CCP and UFWD leaders.

Trump Says There’s One Word He Doesn’t Believe In

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Donald Trump says there’s one word he does not believe in: “regret.”

Trump sat down for an interview on FOX News’s “The Ingraham Angle” broadcast Thursday, where host Laura Ingraham asked the president whether he had second thoughts about ordering military action against Iran as Republicans approach the midterms.

“I don’t believe in the word regret,” Trump replied. “You can always question yourself a little bit. A few people have asked me that. If I had it to do again, I’d do exactly as I did.”

Trump defended his decision by pointing to the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program.

“I took out their nuclear capability,” Trump said. “Supposing we were cruising, and all of a sudden Iran has a nuclear weapon. They would use it. They are crazy. Okay, I deal with them. They’re crazy. They would use it. They would wipe out Israel; they would wipe out the Middle East; they would have started hitting a couple of our cities.” (Read more from “Trump Says There’s One Word He Doesn’t Believe In” HERE)

Joseph diGenova has resigned from his Justice Department role investigating the alleged “Grand Conspiracy” surrounding the Trump-Russia investigations, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

His resignation comes after months in which his role had diminished internally, ending his involvement in the investigation amid questions about his standing within both the administration and DOJ leadership. . .

He declined to comment further about the circumstances surrounding his departure.

DiGenova’s wife, attorney Victoria Toensing, who also joined the federal prosecution team in South Florida, is expected to leave the Justice Department on Friday, according to CBS News.

Liking 6 Specific Foods may Lower Your Risk of Dying: Study

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Researchers found that liking six specific foods and ingredients was associated with a significantly lower risk of death.

Some of the healthiest favorites aren’t even typically eaten on their own: Extra virgin olive oil was associated with a 33% lower risk of death, while black pepper showed a 28% lower risk. This indicates that cooking your own food could benefit your health, helping to reduce calorie intake and the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes.

Among the actual foods, asparagus and broccoli had the strongest associations, with a 31% lower risk of death. Butternut squash came close behind, with a 25% lower risk, while eggplant was associated with a 21% lower risk.

But this list was not exhaustive.

Whole-wheat bread, for example, also showed a significant decrease in mortality, at a level similar to olive oil. Spinach, salad, onions, mushroom, lentils, beans and bell peppers were also associated with a longer life. (Read more from “Liking 6 Specific Foods may Lower Your Risk of Dying: Study” HERE)

Seatmate of Crazed Duct-Taped Plane Passenger Reveals what Sparked Wild Mid-Flight Meltdown

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The crazed plane passenger who was duct-taped and zip-tied on a flight to New Jersey first flipped over a discussion about religion with his seatmate, a controversial Messianic rabbi who’s a best-selling author dubbed a “Doomsday prophet.”

Author Jonathan Cahn said that now-fired Arizona realtor Arthur Layne Lundeen, 67, allegedly started hurling racist and homophobic slurs after first screaming at him that “Jesus is bulls–t.”

“I was the unidentified passenger and I was actually attacked, 30,000 feet in the sky. I was attacked on that plane,” Cahn revealed in a YouTube video Monday.

“I have never seen someone change in a split second from light to dark as I saw then, as if something had taken him over,” Cahn said. “He went from the friendliest guy in the world to this dark person.”

Cahn leads the Beth Israel Worship Center in Wayne, New Jersey, part of the Messianic Jewish movement that believes Jesus is the messiah, making it generally considered a branch of Christianity.

He is also known for his controversial books, especially his debut 2011 novel, “The Harbinger,” which draws parallels between the 9/11 attacks and the destruction of the Kingdom of Israel, linking the events as a divine warning.

Suicide Rate Soars for Girls as Young as 10 — and Expert Claims One Major Trend is to Blame

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Suicide rates among girls have grown at a faster rate than boys in recent years, thanks to younger access to social media and the impact of the COVID lockdowns, according to experts.

Suicide is now the second leading cause of death among 10- to 14-year-olds in the US, with marked increases noted between 2007 and 2021, according to a new report in JAMA Pediatrics, an American Medical Association-published medical journal released Tuesday.

Historically, male suicide rates have been higher than female suicide rates across all age groups, but between 2007 and 2017, the suicide rate for girls aged 10 to 19 increased far more than the rate for males.

While huge emphasis in recent years has been placed on the dangers of toxic online spaces on young boys — such as Andrew Tate’s manosphere — commentators may have overlooked how susceptible young girls were to pernicious content on social media, according to the report’s author, Dr. Jean Twenge, professor of psychology at San Diego State University.

“From roughly 2010 to 2019, I think it’s pretty clear that social media and smartphones were behind a lot of that increase in suicides, especially for girls,” Twenge, author of “10 Rules for Raising Kids in a High-Tech World,” told The Post.

“Social media use is more strongly linked to depression and other mental health issues among girls than it is among boys,” she said. (Read more from “Suicide Rate Soars for Girls as Young as 10 — and Expert Claims One Major Trend is to Blame” HERE)

Droves of Subscribers Cancel Netflix After ‘Neck Injury’ Joke on One-Year Anniversary of Charlie Kirk Assassination

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Droves of Netflix subscribers are announcing they have canceled their memberships after the streaming giant made a “neck injury” joke on the one-year anniversary of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

“Nearly did himself a neck injury,” Netflix’s official UK and Ireland X account quipped in a Thursday caption, sharing a photo of a male character from The Gentlemen apparently straining his neck to get a better view of a woman.

The joke about a man having a “neck injury,” however, was posted on September 10, the one-year anniversary of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot in the neck while trying to have an open and respectful dialogue with a student at Utah Valley University.

Viewers were quick to notice the veiled jab, resulting in a slew of social media users taking to the comment section of Netflix UK & Ireland’s post to announce they are canceling their subscriptions.

“Cancel Netflix completely,” Jack Posobiec — conservative commentator and a close friend of Kirk’s — demanded.

RFK Jr. Now Probing Whether US Service Members Died From COVID Vaccines

/4 Comments/in , , /by

An Army doctor said she is teaming up with the Trump administration to investigate whether U.S. service members died from COVID-19 vaccines after a Biden-era mandate, Politico first reported Thursday.

Dr. Theresa Long told a Virginia federal court that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth selected her to be Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s senior medical military adviser, Politico reported, citing an Aug. 14 deposition. Long stated that she is probing whether 2,544 unverified deaths among troops reported to HHS’ Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) resulted from COVID-19 vaccines, according to the outlet.

Long also told the court in the deposition that she is seeking to complete her research about potential vaccine-related health complications “within a year,” Politico reported.

The Pentagon referred the Daily Caller News Foundation to the HHS when asked for comment. The HHS did not immediately respond to the DCNF. Long could not immediately be reached for comment.

When reached for comment, the Department of War told Politico that it does not “have anything to announce at this time” regarding Long’s role as Kennedy’s senior medical military adviser and referred the outlet to a May 8 statement.

Wealthy District Sued for Allowing Kids to Change their Names and Gender on School Records without Parents Knowing

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A wealthy elite New Jersey school district is being sued for allowing students to change their names and gender identities on school records without telling their parents, reports say.

The controversial Chathams School District policy also keeps parents in the dark when giving students access to bathrooms and locker rooms based on what gender they identify with, according to NJ.com.

The directive reportedly gives the district’s guidance counselors the authority to decide “whether, and to what extent” parents can be informed.

“They have a policy in the school district that will actually punish children that don’t use the demanded new gender identity pronoun and name of another student,” seethed Moms for Liberty CEO and founder Tina Descovich, whose group is among the plaintiffs, to Fox News Digital.

“They can do that just one time on accident, and they can be punished up to suspension just for using the wrong pronoun or the wrong name of someone that is identifying as something other than they actually are,” she said of other students.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A belligerent passenger who was duct-taped and zip-tied after hurling slurs on an American Airlines flight was fired from an Arizona realty company over his “concerning criminal charges.”

Arthur Layne Lundeen, 67, was axed from his job as a real-estate agent at the Tucson-based company Long Realty after he was identified as the lunatic who hurled the N-word at a flight attendant and shouted anti-gay insults on American Airlines flight 618 Thursday night.

“Long Realty is aware of reports concerning criminal charges filed against a former affiliated real estate agent arising from an incident that allegedly occurred during a commercial flight,” Long Realty wrote in a statement on Facebook Sunday.

“Upon learning of the incident, Long Realty promptly ended its affiliation with the individual. The individual is no longer associated with or authorized to represent Long Realty in any capacity,” the company said.

We expect those associated with our company to uphold those values, and we have no tolerance for conduct that so clearly falls short of those expectations,” the statement continued. “Our thoughts are with the passengers, crew members, and others affected by this incident.” (Read more from “Unruly Airline Passenger who had to be Duct-Taped to Seat after N-word Meltdown Fired from Arizona Realty Company” HERE)
