Why Tulsi Gabbard Was Put on TSA’s Suspected Terror Watchlist

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Republican Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (R-HI) is speaking out after the Biden Administration quietly put her on the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) terrorist watchlist.

Last month, Gabbard and her husband were at the airport waiting to board their flight when they found that their boarding passes were marked with “SSSS,” which stands for “Quad S.” This means that a passenger is viewed as a potential threat and subject to random searches. She also will unknowingly have two explosive detection canine teams, a transportation security specialist, an undercover TSA supervisor, and three federal air marshals on any flight she boards.

“I had the audacity to tell the truth: that Kamala Harris would essentially be a mouthpiece and puppet of the Military Industrial Complex and National Security State. The next day, July 23, they retaliated,” Gabbard said. “Sadly, this is what we can expect from the ‘Harris’Administration.”

Gabbard said, via Racket News, that she didn’t think much of it until she saw an article in Uncover DC revealing that the Republican had been put on the TSA’s “Quiet Skies” list.

“When I saw that, I thought, ‘Wow, okay. So everything I was experiencing was exactly what I feared was going on,” she said. “It’s bringing to the forefront… how brazen the political retaliation and abuse of power continues to be under the Biden-Harris administration.”

Listen: Cops Scramble to Secure Hospital for Biden Health Scare

/2 Comments/in , /by

Officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department rushed to clear roads and secure the perimeter of a hospital that had been placed on standby to treat President Joe Biden for a medical issue last month, according to radio transmission recordings obtained by the Daily Beast.

It remains unclear what exactly the undisclosed medical issue was, though the White House announced later that day he had been diagnosed with COVID-19.

“Meet at the Valley Hospital ER parking lot. We’re going to meet behind the ER entrances, where the ambulances go,” an officer says in one of the transmissions, which were sent to the Daily Beast in response to a public records request to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

The radio transmissions were broadcast on July 17, after the president abruptly canceled a speaking engagement on a campaign trip in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he was set to address Hispanic voters at the UnidosUS event.

Report: Trump Plans to Sue DOJ for $100m

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump (R) is reportedly taking legal action against President Joe Biden’s (D) Justice Department regarding the unprecedented August 8, 2022, raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

The former president is planning to sue the department for $100 million in damages. Fox News reported Monday that his memo claims “tortious conduct by the United States against President Trump.”

The raid occurred during a federal investigation after Trump was accused of improperly keeping classified records.

“After the raid, Special Counsel Jack Smith was appointed to investigate. Smith ultimately brought 37 felony counts against Trump, including willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and false statements. Trump pleaded not guilty to all counts,” the Fox report said.

In July, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case against Trump. Citing the Constitution’s Appointment Clause, the judge ruled Smith was unlawfully appointed and funded. (Read more from “Report: Trump Plans to Sue DOJ for $100m” HERE)

Report: ‘Friction,’ ‘Bad-Mouthing,’ ‘Anxiety’ Infest Dysfunctional Harris Campaign

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Harris campaign spiraled into a power struggle in recent weeks with factions competing for influence and control, six people, including aides familiar with the dynamics, told Politico’s Christopher Cadelago on Monday.

The report described the campaign as rife with “friction,” “internal tensions,” “anxiety,” “raw emotions,” “bad-mouthing,” and “grumbling” that mirror the dysfunction that plagued Harris’s Senate and vice presidential offices.

The competing factions reportedly consist of former Biden staffers and new Harris aides, who do not agree on how to overhaul the campaign’s power structure to prevent former President Donald Trump from completing the greatest political comeback in American political history.

In recent weeks, the campaign hired several former Obama staffers to help run it. But those staffers — including David Plouffe, Obama’s former campaign manager — are not jibing with Jen O’Malley Dillon, the former Biden White House official and Harris campaign chair, Politico reported.

“There is no doubt when you have 2,000 people and you are changing who is at the top of the ticket that it’s going to take a minute to make sure that everyone is seated well, and we still have some work to do on that,” O’Malley Dillon admitted to Cadelago.

Biden Confirms Dems Forced Him Out Over Down-Ballot Concerns (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden confirmed that Democrats pressured him to drop his reelection bid over down-ballot concerns in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS News.

Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election through a letter posted on X July 21, roughly three weeks after the president’s poor debate performance against 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Countless reports surfaced during the three weeks before Biden’s announcement relating to private meetings held by top Democrats — including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former President Barack Obama — to discuss the potential of dumping the president out of concern for the future of the party.

Biden told CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa that the polls between Trump and himself were “neck-and-neck.” Although the president claimed the race would have “been down to the wire,” Trump saw a significant surge in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — even putting Democratic strongholds like New York and Virginia into play.

“Look, the polls we had showed that it was a neck-and-neck race. It would’ve been down to the wire,” Biden said.

Biden Appears Confused During His Only Public Event This Week: ‘What Am I Doing?’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden openly expressed confusion about what he should be doing Thursday at his only scheduled public event of the week — and had to be reminded by an emcee to leave a White House celebration of the Texas Rangers’ World Series win, which he did after saluting the athletes.

Biden, 81, ended his campaign for a second term on July 21 after a mutiny by fellow Democrats concerned about his mental acuity, but he has insisted that he remains capable of serving as president through Jan. 20 — despite his noticeably sparse schedule.

“All right, what am I doing now?” Biden said after wrapping up the event by accepting a personalized jersey and cowboy boots from the baseball team in the White House’s East Room.

A military aide approached Biden to collect the gifts, with the president seeming to joke, “Are you stealing my jersey?”

Biden, who has hosted dozens of events in the same room, then stood awkwardly looking around for direction — at one point raising both hands in an apparent questioning gesture, indicating he wasn’t sure what to do.

Hunter Biden Hired by Foreign Oligarch to ‘Influence’ U.S. Government: Prosecutors

/1 Comment/in , /by

The federal prosecutor overseeing an investigation into Hunter Biden claims a Romanian oligarch attempted to use his business connections with President Joe Biden’s son to wield influence over the Biden administration.

Special counsel David Weiss’s office argued Gabriel Popoviciu hired Hunter Biden because he wanted “to attempt to influence U.S. government agencies,” according to court filings released Wednesday.

In 2015, Popoviciu, a Romanian real estate tycoon, hired Hunter Biden as he faced a loss of his business assets over a Romanian criminal corruption case, per prosecutors. Bank records show Hunter Biden and his business associates received at least $3 million from Popoviciu over the next two years.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said the “Biden family’s influence peddling schemes” in Romania were laid out by them in May of last year.

“Bank records don’t lie. The mainstream media took their marching orders from the Biden White House & turned a blind eye to public corruption,” he wrote on X.

World on Fire: American Airbase in Iraq Attacked by Rockets, Several Injured

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris finally posted hours after news of the attack first came in that they had been briefed. Biden tagged Harris in his post, and she tagged Biden in hers.

Tensions are indeed increasing in the Middle East, after Iran vowed to retaliate against Israel for taking out Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh last week. “Two Katyusha rockets on Monday were fired at Iraq’s Ain al-Asad air base which hosts U.S. and other international forces in western Iraq,” according to a report from Reuters. The report cited “security sources.”

“Several U.S. personnel were injured in an attack against a military base in Iraq on Monday,” a subsequent report also revealed. The sources “said they were citing initial information which could change.” (Read more from “World on Fire: American Airbase in Iraq Attacked by Rockets, Several Injured” HERE)

Kamala Campaign Mimics Joe’s, Hiding Behind a Teleprompter

/1 Comment/in , /by

Kamala Harris isn’t in the cellar of the Naval Observatory campaigning via Zoom calls à la Joe Biden in 2020.

No, she’s speaking to adoring crowds fired up by pop stars. She’s identifying herself with powerful (if somewhat esoteric) cultural trends. She’s clapping back against Donald Trump with panache. . .

Kamala’s teleprompter campaign in 2024 is meant to limit her exposure to keep her from inadvertently bursting the media bubble that’s been created around her.

In that, her campaign may resemble the pre-debate Biden approach this year more than his limited stumping in 2020.

Biden’s campaign this year obviously feared putting him out in any setting where he’d be challenged, and when his abysmal debate performance forced them to do so anyway (to prove he’d just had “a bad night”), the additional exposure resulted in predictable disaster.

Pelosi: President Biden Should Be Added to Mt. Rushmore

/1 Comment/in , /by

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on this week’s broadcast of “CBS Sunday Morning” that President Joe Biden should be added to Mt. Rushmore.

Host Lesley Stahl asked, “Please tell us what you told President Biden to persuade him to step aside.”

Pelosi said, “Well, I have never shared any conversations with a President of the United States publicly, so no.” . . .

Pelosi said, “I wasn’t the leader of any pressure. Let me say things I didn’t do. I didn’t call one person. I did not call one person. I could always say to him, I never called anybody. What I’m saying is I had confidence that the president would make the proper choice for our country, whatever that would be, and I said that. Whatever that is, we’ll go with.”

She added, “He was in a good place to make whatever decision, top of his game. Such a consequential President of the United States., a Mount Rushmore kind of President of the United States.” (Read more from “Pelosi: President Biden Should Be Added to Mt. Rushmore” HERE)
