Report: ‘Openly Genderfluid’ Ex-Biden Official Sam Brinton to Undergo Mental Health Treatment to Resolve Theft Charges

/4 Comments/in , /by

Sam Brinton, an “openly genderfluid” former Department of Energy official under the Biden administration, will reportedly receive mental health treatment to resolve theft charges from stealing a woman’s luggage.

Brinton was reported to have pleaded guilty to petit larceny, which is a misdemeanor, instead of grand larceny, which is a felony offense, according to the Washington Free Beacon. In 2018, Brinton stole fashion designer Asya Khamsin’s luggage while at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Khamsin came forward in 2023, revealing that she had lost luggage in 2018, and photos of Brinton appeared to show him wearing one of her “custom made” outfits, adding that a lot of the outfits Brinton wore had been in her missing luggage.

In a hearing last week at the Arlington General District Court, state prosecutors reportedly announced that Brinton would “undergo mental health treatment, write a letter of apology, and complete 50 hours of community service helping the elderly,” according to the outlet.

“The resolution we came to is supported by the facts and circumstances of the case as a whole,” a spokeswoman for Parisa Dehghani-Tafti, the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Arlington Country said in a statement. “Unfortunately, since this case remains pending, we are prohibited from commenting further.” (Read more from “Report: ‘Openly Genderfluid’ Ex-Biden Official Sam Brinton to Undergo Mental Health Treatment to Resolve Theft Charges” HERE)

Establishment Media Fumbles Supreme Court’s Decision on Idaho Abortion Law

/1 Comment/in , /by

The establishment media prematurely reported a Supreme Court order dismissing a crucial case involving Idaho’s pro-life law and the Biden administration’s controversial ER abortion mandate.

The Biden administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a regulation under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), mandating that hospitals provide abortions if deemed necessary to stabilize a pregnant woman’s medical emergency, overriding state laws. Idaho’s Defense of Life Act, a pro-life law, stood in direct opposition to this mandate.

The administration’s aggressive push led to a federal district court in Idaho issuing a preliminary injunction in favor of HHS. Idaho subsequently appealed to the Ninth Circuit. In an uncommon move, the Supreme Court granted “cert before judgment,” agreeing to review the case before the appellate court’s decision.

The decision was accompanied by several opinions, reflecting the deep divisions within the court:

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson argued against dismissal, advocating for the court to strike down Idaho’s pro-life law in favor of the Biden administration’s abortion mandate.

Justice Elena Kagan, joined by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, expressed their intent to rule that the EMTALA regulation preempts Idaho law but agreed with the dismissal for procedural reasons.

Justice Samuel Alito, supported in part by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, opposed the dismissal, favoring Idaho’s pro-life law and criticizing the court’s reluctance to address the issue head-on.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, formed the deciding block, aligning with the dismissal but leaving the broader legal questions unresolved.

The establishment media’s premature and inaccurate reporting on the Supreme Court’s decision underscores a troubling trend of misinforming the public on crucial issues. By jumping the gun, they not only failed to provide a clear picture of the court’s decision but also contributed to the confusion surrounding an already contentious issue.

The establishment media’s premature reporting on the Supreme Court’s decision regarding Idaho’s pro-life law and the Biden administration’s abortion mandate is a glaring example of media incompetence and bias.

Congressional Report Exposes CIA’s Collusion with Biden Campaign to Discredit Hunter Biden Laptop Story

/1 Comment/in , , /by

In a bombshell revelation, a congressional report released Tuesday exposes the CIA’s interference in the 2020 election by colluding with the Biden campaign to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story.

The House Judiciary report highlights three critical points regarding the CIA’s involvement in the 2020 election. First, it reveals that high-ranking CIA officials, including then-CIA Director Gina Haspel, were aware of the statement discrediting the Hunter Biden laptop story before its publication. This awareness provided senior leadership with an opportunity to intervene and ensure the statement was properly vetted, yet they failed to do so.

Second, the report notes that some signatories of the statement, including former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell and former CIA Inspector General David Buckley, were on active contracts with the CIA at the time. Despite these officials’ claims that they did not access classified information when asserting the laptop story had “all the hallmarks” of Russian disinformation, their active roles within the CIA cast doubt on their impartiality.

Lastly, the report uncovers internal dissent within the CIA. Some employees expressed concern about the politicized nature of the statement, acknowledging it was not “helpful to the Agency in the long run.” At least one employee questioned the submission and approval process, highlighting the internal discontent with the agency’s involvement in the political narrative.

In 2020, 51 former intelligence officials signed a letter labeling the Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation. This letter, coordinated by current Secretary of State Antony Blinken, was instrumental in shaping public opinion ahead of the election. CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand amplified this narrative through a Politico story, which has since been discredited.

The congressional report underscores the inappropriate involvement of CIA contractors in the political process. As Morell himself acknowledged during the investigation, “It’s inappropriate for a currently serving staff officer or contractor to be involved in the political process.” This admission reflects the serious ethical breach that occurred.

The report also highlights the role of former Senior Intelligence Service Officer Marc Polymeropoulos, who co-authored the statement. Internal communications reveal that Polymeropoulos’s talking points contained classified information, which had to be removed before publication.

One CIA official noted, “It appears [Polymeropoulos] is actively involved in a pro-Biden campaign and may be disclosing classified information in his efforts.”

Biden Admin Weighed Using ‘School Children’ to Help Register Dem-Leaning Voters, Emails Show

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration sought taxpayer funding for a program that would use school children to provide voter registration materials to Native Americans, according to emails obtained by Protect the Public’s Trust and shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Department of the Interior (DOI) officials in 2022 developed a plan that would have given Native American children attending Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) schools voter registration materials to bring home to their parents, internal emails show. Native Americans strongly preferred Democratic House candidates that year, with 56% saying they would cast their ballot for a Democrat compared to the 40% who said they’d vote Republican, according to a poll conducted by the African American Research Collaborative shortly before the midterm elections.

“Department leadership is proposing having BEI send home voter registration cards with students to give to their parents,” BIE team lead Jennifer Wiginton wrote in a February 2022 email.

BIE’s proposed native voter registration plan, according to DOI attorney-advisor Joshua Berg, was formulated to comply with Executive Order 14019, which President Joe Biden issued in March 2021. The order compelled the heads of federal agencies to “evaluate ways in which the agency can, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, promote voter registration and voter participation.”

Berg went into greater detail regarding the proposed voter registration operation, writing in March 2022 that he and his colleagues had “developed a plan to distribute voter registration applications at BIE schools so that school children [could] bring home voter registration applications to their parents and/or guardians.” Under Berg’s plan, the federal government would also have provided “return envelopes with pre-paid postage so that parents and/or guardians [could] mail in their completed voter registration applications directly to the corresponding elections office in their state.” (Read more from “Biden Admin Weighed Using ‘School Children’ to Help Register Dem-Leaning Voters, Emails Show” HERE)

Bush-Appointed Judge Blocks Biden’s New Title IX Rule in Six More States

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Kentucky federal judge blocked the Biden administration Monday from implementing its Title IX expansion for LGBT students in six states.

Bush-appointed U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves sided with Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman’s lawsuit against the United States Department of Education (ED) in blocking the Biden administration’s new Title IX rule in Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia, according to the court documents. The new Title IX rule, set to take effect on Aug. 1, 2024, expands protections for LGBT students by preventing discrimination based on “gender identity.”

The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, and it alleges “the Department has used rulemaking power to convert a law designed to equalize opportunities for both sexes into a far broader regime of its own making.” Reeves limited the injunction to the six plaintiff states.

“The new rule contravenes the plain text of Title IX by redefining ‘sex’ to include gender identity, violates government employees’ First Amendment rights, and is the result of arbitrary and capricious rulemaking,” Reeves states in the court ruling.

Reeves siding with Coleman’s lawsuit follows in the same steps of Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty blocking Biden’s Title IX rule in four Republican states last week. (Read more from “Bush-Appointed Judge Blocks Biden’s New Title IX Rule in Six More States” HERE)

Why Is Biden Trying to Cover for Iran’s Massive Nuclear Violations?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Not only is the Biden administration bent on turning a blind eye to terror-supporter Iran’s world-dominating nuclear ambitions, it’s pushing our allies to ignore them, too.

The Wall Street Journal reports that European diplomats say US officials have been trying to talk Britain and France out of censuring Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s board meeting next week, though Iran has grown its stockpile of highly enriched uranium to record highs, on the brink of enough to fuel three nuclear weapons — a blatant middle finger to the West after the IAEA warned Iran to cool its nuke program and allow greater oversight.

US officials deny running cover for Iran, of course, but it fits right into President Biden’s “appeasement at all costs” strategy with Iran — national security be damned.

Since taking office, Biden has refused to enforce on-the-books sanctions against Iranian oil buyers, letting the regime amass billions and so freeing up cash to fund terrorist proxies and buy more uranium.

He all but ignored more than 160 attacks on US forces by Tehran proxies until an attack that killed three soldiers and injured 40 more forced him to respond — and then weeks later approved a sanctions waiver that gives Iran continued access to the $10 billion he released from previously inaccessible bank accounts in 2023.

Trump Mocks ‘Wacko’ Robert de Niro After Actor’s Biden Campaign Press Conference: ‘Pathetic and Sad’

/2 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump skewered Robert De Niro early Wednesday, calling the actor a “wacko” and mocking his participation in a Biden campaign press conference outside the Manhattan courthouse where the former president is being tried.

“I never knew how small, both mentally and physically, Wacko Former Actor Robert De Niro was,” Trump railed in a Truth Social post.

“Today, De Niro, who suffers from an incurable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, commonly known in the medical community as TDS, was met, outside the Courthouse, with a force far greater than the Radical Left – MAGA,” the former president said.

“Robert, whose movies, artistry, and brand have gone WAY DOWN IN VALUE since he entered the political arena at the request of Crooked Joe Biden, looked so pathetic and sad out there. Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio!!!” the post continued.

De Niro, 80, delivered prepared remarks at the surprise Biden campaign press conference Tuesday afternoon as Trump’s defense team made its closing arguments in the former president’s hush money trial.

New Evidence of Saudi Gov’t Role in 9/11 Should Halt Security Pact Talk

/1 Comment/in , /by

There is new evidence that shows that some Saudi government officials were more involved in the 9/11 attacks than previously known. According to a new filing in a lawsuit brought by the families of the 9/11 victims, al-Qaida operatives received significant support from members of the Saudi government in their preparations for the attacks.

As Daniel Benjamin, president of the American Academy in Berlin, and Quincy Institute senior fellow Steven Simon explain in a new article for The Atlantic, the plaintiffs allege that Saudi officials “were not rogue operators but rather the front end of a conspiracy that included the Saudi embassy in Washington and senior government officials in Riyadh.” If the allegations are true, that has important implications for our understanding of the attacks and how international terrorist groups operate, and it also gives Americans another reason to question the wisdom of a security pact with Saudi Arabia today.

There had already been some proof of collusion between Saudi officials and 9/11 hijackers revealed in the past, but as Benjamin and Simon point out, the new evidence suggests that the actions taken by two Saudi officials working in the U.S. to support the hijackers were “deliberate, sustained, and carefully coordinated with other Saudi officials.” If true, the failure of our government to hold the Saudis accountable for the role of their officials in the attacks is inexcusable. It makes the continued indulgence of Saudi Arabia by successive administrations over the last two decades even more repugnant.

The Saudi government predictably denies the allegations, but that is what Riyadh always does when there are credible accusations of wrongdoing against it. In the weeks following the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018, the Saudi government claimed that it had done nothing to him and even used a poorly disguised double to promote a false story that he had voluntarily left the consulate in Istanbul. The Saudi government routinely denied responsibility for airstrikes on civilian targets in Yemen when their forces were the only ones that could have launched them. Saudi denials don’t count for much, and I wouldn’t bet on their veracity in this case, either. (Read more from “New Evidence of Saudi Gov’t Role in 9/11 Should Halt Security Pact Talk” HERE)

Biden Admin Expresses ‘Official Condolences’ for Death of Iranian President Who Was Dubbed the ‘Butcher of Tehran’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration on Monday expressed condolences for the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.

Raisi and several Iranian regime officials were killed in a helicopter crash in northern Iran over the weekend. Raisi, known as the “Butcher of Tehran,” oversaw aggressive foreign policies that increased tensions with the West and authoritarian domestic policies to repress and abuse the Iranian population, whom he was deeply unpopular with.

“The United States expresses its official condolences for the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian, and other members of their delegation in a helicopter crash in northwest Iran,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement on Monday. “As Iran selects a new president, we reaffirm our support for the Iranian people and their struggle for human rights and fundamental freedoms.”

“We regret any loss of life. We don’t want to see anyone die in a helicopter crash,” Miller told reporters on Monday.

Battleground State Removes Non-Citizens Improperly Registered After Investigation

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose ordered the state’s voter rolls to be purged of “non-citizens” Tuesday after a review found more than 100 Ohio residents who were registered to vote despite lacking U.S. citizenship.

An investigation by Ohio’s Public Integrity Division analyzed data from the state’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles and found 137 people who appeared on voter rolls despite twice confirming they were not U.S. citizens. Ohio law requires that in order for a person to be removed from voter rolls, they must have confirmed their lack of citizenship to the BMV on two separate occasions, and also have updated their voter registration or voted in between the two occasions.

“These individuals will receive at least two written notices from the Secretary of State’s office asking them to confirm their citizenship status or cancel their registration. Failure to respond to these notices will result in removal of the registration from the voter rolls by the county boards of elections,” LaRose’s office told Fox News Digital in a statement.

The improper voter registration could result in prosecution for some, but LaRose cautioned that not all instances are criminal.

“It’s important to recognize that some of these registrations may be the result of an honest mistake,” LaRose said. “These may be well-meaning people trying to pursue the American dream, and communication barriers sometimes result in a registration form being submitted in error. We need to help them get that cleared up before an accidental registration becomes an illegal vote that could result in a felony conviction or even deportation.” (Read more from “Battleground State Removes Non-Citizens Improperly Registered After Investigation” HERE)
